Factory calibration
Factory calibration of controller components is performed before shipment to 0.1% accuracy. Calibration
values are contained in a number of the controller components, namely: the CPU, Backplane, and AI and
AO modules.
Figure 32 shows the various components in which calibration data is stored.
• Calibration functions and parameters for the user interface are stored in memory on the CPU.
• Each AI module contains two (2) cold junction compensation (CJC) references that are factory
calibrated. Factory calibration data for the CJC references is stored in a non-volatile memory on the AI
module.
• Field calibration values for the AI modules (both zero offset and span calibration and CJC reference
values) are stored on the CPU.
• Factory calibration values (zero offset and span corrections) for AO modules are stored in non-volatile
memory on the AO module and can be changed only if the write protect jumper is not cut. See Write
Protect Jumper ST1.
• The gains and offsets of the preamp are factory calibrated and the calibration data is stored in a non-
volatile memory on the backplane. No field calibration of these values is possible.
Write Protect Jumper ST1
ATTENTION
A jumper (ST1) on the AO module PWA can be cut to prevent changes to calibration values.
This will write protect the AO and prevent further calibration of these values.
