Scaling Parameters

The

Scaling tab allows you to configure the values for

scaled variables. To scale the selected variable, enter
the values into the appropriate boxes, then click on the
Transfer menu and click Download to transfer the new
scaled values to the HIM. (If any scaled variable was
selected in the

Display, Alarm or Analog Outputs tabs,

then the corresponding scaled variable section will
become active for editing).

The HIM’s versatile scaling feature has many possible
applications, as is shown in the illustration below.

Suppose you are using a digital pressure (DP)
transmitter to measure the level of a tank in either
centimeters/inches or PSI. Since the tank is only 300
centimeters (10 feet) high, the full range of the primary
variable (PV) output from the DP transmitter is 0-4.3
PSI. You want to display the full level range (in
centimeters/inches of water) on the HIM. You also
need to control the level from 50% to 100%, since the
tank must be at least 50% full at all times. Finally,
your existing loop indicator and level controller needs
4-20mA to represent 150 to 300 centimeters (60 to 120
inches) of water. How do you do this?

Scaling Illustration
1. Since you want to display the full level range in
inches of water (in H

2

O) on the HIM, and the HIM is

reading PSI as the primary variable, first go to the
Display tab and select Scaled PV as your display
source.

2. Go to the

Scaling tab and set up the PV Zero and

PV Full values, and the Scaled PV Zero and Full
values.

PV Zero would be 0 (PSI) and PV Full would

be 4.3 (PSI).

Scaled PV would correlate to zero being

0 in H

2

O and full being 120 in H

2

O. The HIM should

now (after downloading) display the full range in
in H

2

O.

3. To manipulate the HIM’s analog output, go to the
Analog Outputs tab. Select Scaled PV as the Output 1
source. Since you need to control the level from 50%
to 100%, the

Input Range should be 60 to 120 in H

2

O

and the

Output Range should be 4mA to 20mA.
