CSTC/CSRTD – TEMPERATURE INPUT MODULE PROGRAMMING
To access a module’s configuration, double-click it. All of the module parameters are visible
on a single page.
THE CONFIGURATION TAB
GENERAL
The settings apply to all of the module’s inputs.
• Temperature Units is used to select between the Kelvin, Fahrenheit, or Celsius
temperature scale.
• The Input Filter is a time constant used to stabilize fluctuating input signals.
INPUTS
These settings allow independent customization of each input ’s parameters.
• The Enabled property provides a means to disable unused inputs, thereby
increasing the rate at which the remaining inputs are read. See the hardware
bulletin for more information regarding reading rates.
• The Thermocouple or RTD property (model dependent) is used to select the
sensor standard being used.
• The Slope property can be used to change the ratio of the PV in relationship to
the sensor reading. This is useful in applications in which the sensor error is nonlinear.
See the application example below.
• The Offset property can be used to compensate, or shift, the PV value. This
setting allows customization of each input based on a given sensor’s error. It also
allows correction of the PV value in applications in which the sensor isn’t
measuring the process directly, thereby inducing an error. See the application
example below.
