Preparing a Device

The configuration parameters of a device can be read by using the Block Tag Reading the Configuration of a Device. The table Configuration parameters of a device of this Tag lists the parameters that can be read by this Driver. These parameters are described next.

CFG_P: Channels measured with maximum priority, typically for P1 pressure

CFG_T: Channels measured at each CNT_T seconds, typically for TOB1 temperature

 

After the number of seconds calculated by CNT_TCOMP × CNT_T, the correction of temperature for the pressure sensor is then recalculated. The CFG_P and CFG_T parameters are encoded according to the next table.

DAC: Configuration for the analog output. If this value is equal to 0 (zero), there is no analog output available. The bit 0 (zero) indicates whether it is a current (zero, mA) or voltage (one, V) output. If bit 3 (three) is equal to 1 (one), this indicates that channel P1 is an output channel. If bit 3 (three) is equal to 0 (zero), the channel of differential pressure P1 - P2 of devices with CLASS.GROUP equal to 5.1 is an output channel and the channel CH0 of devices with CLASS.GROUP equal to 5.20 is an output channel

CFG_CH0: Defines the function for the calculated channel CH0. This channel is the only one available for devices with CLASS.GROUP equal to 5.20. The next table contains the available calculations
