supply.

Consider the above example,

with WI-I/O K #14. T his

module is mounted on a water

tank, and the analog input is a

level transducer. The WI-I/O K

is powered by a WI-BP-I/O-9-K

battery pack and to conserve

power, a measurement is taken

every 30 minutes (1800 sec).

The transducer requires a warm-

up time of 7 seconds to achieve

accuracy, so a value of 10

seconds is chosen.

In another application involving

the continuous monitoring of pressure in a pipeline, values of zero are chosen for the sample

time and warm-up time. The analog loop will be continuously active and a measurement is taken

every 0.5 sec. Because occasional pressure fluctuations caused a lot of transmissions, then the

sample time value was increased to 5 seconds, and a measurement was taken every 5 sec.

Because the warm-up time is still zero, the analog loop is continuously active.

4.5 Analog Setpoints

A high setpoint value and a

low setpoint value may be

entered. The internal

setpoint status is

determined by these values

in comparison to the analog

input value. If the analog

input is less than the low

setpoint, then the setpoint

status is "on". If the analog input is more than the high setpoint, then the setpoint status is "off".

When the input is between the low and high setpoints, then the setpoint status remains

unchanged.

The setpoint values may be set between 0 and 100% of the calibrated range. The low setpoint

may be set to the same value as the high setpoint, however the low setpoint should not be set to a

higher value than the high setpoint.
