Using the same profile, suppose you change the Control Mode selection to
force, and type a Level Multiplier value of 100 N. This will cause all of the end
levels in the profile to be converted to force values. In this case, MPT will play
out 10 volts as 100 N. So if the first end level values in the profile are 2 volts and
9 volts, they will be played out as 20 N and 90 N.
Full-scale values of
normalized dimensions
Using normalized
dimensions to define
control modes
You can use any of these normalized dimensions to define a control mode in a
station configuration. If you do this, and then attempt to play out a profile that
also uses a normalized dimension, MPT will treat it as a standard dimension
when you define a Profile process.
Example
Suppose you create a station configuration that uses volts as a dimension for a
volt control mode, which is associated with a conditioner that is cabled to a
displacement sensor with a full-scale displacement of ±200 cm.
Next, you create a profile in which you select the volts dimension to define end
levels.
Then you start MPT against the station configuration, and with the Profile
process, on the Command tab, you select the profile you have created.
On the Mapping tab, you select a Profile Channel, and note that volts is
available in the Control Mode list, and that the Level Multiplier box displays
100%.
In this scenario, if the first end level values in the profile are 1 V and 9 V, they
will be played out as 20 cm and 180 cm. If you change the Level Multiplier
value to 50%, MPT would play out these values as 10 cm and 90 cm.
