Sensor Parameters
Using this page, the Sensor parameters are set.
Second Pressure sensor: Select if a second pressure sensor is used or not. When in use, Differential Pressure will be displayed on the dashboard and Differential Pressure Level alarm can be used.
A current based 4..20mA sensor ranging 0..16 bar / 0..232 psi has to be used.
Voltage based sensors are not supported.
Temperature sensor: Select if a temperature sensor is used or not. When in use, Temperature will be displayed on the dashboard.
A PT1000 type temperature sensor has to be used
The sensor has to be current based, 4..20mA.
You have to provide the Dewpoint values at 4mA and at 20mA. The values in between 4mA and 20mA are obtained via linear interpolation.
External flow sensor: Select if an external sensor is used or not.
When in use, flow information will be obtained via this sensor.
When not in use, flow information will be obtained via settings provided in the Asset Interface Configuration.
The sensor has to be current based, 4..20mA.
You have to provide the Flow values at 4mA and at 20mA. The values in between 4mA and 20mA are obtained via linear interpolation.
