Operational Options
Valve Retry Enabled when enabled, the device will automatically attempt to drive the controlled equipment back to
the set point 3 times before tripping the Valve Drift monitor. (On/off control only)
Dwell Tracking - when enabled provides increased resolution for dwell time measurements in monitor devices by
increasing the internal position-sampling rate to about 11 samples per second when a position change is detected.
(monitoring only)
Fast sampling ends when position changes remain below 1% for the Tracking Debounce Count. Enhanced Dwell
Tracking will work best when Hardware Triggering is also enabled.
When Dwell Tracking appears as an Operational Option, an additional menu item appears below it:
Tracking Debounce Count the number of samples during which position change must be less than 1% of span before
terminating fast sampling for the enhanced dwelltime measurement.
Note
Operational Options is not available when the device is in snap acting mode.
Device Variable Properties
Reporting Precision—accuracy of the device is 1% of the nominal span, however you may select an additional decimal
place for reporting.
Scaled Position Properties
Range Units engineering unit displayed with the Digital Value representation, Upper Range Value, and Lower
Range Value of the Scaled Position variable.
Upper Range Value scaled value in engineering units associated with the 100% span endpoint.
Lower Range Value scaled value in engineering units associated with the 0% span endpoint.
Modify – set the units and range values for mapping normalized Position(%) to Scaled Position in a controlled
procedure.
Discrete Variable Properties
Switch State Properties and Set Point Properties—includes type, class, and connection information.
Note
Set Point Properties is only available for units equipped with the on/off control option.
D Limit Switch Configuration
Valve Position / Process —indicates the position of the monitored equipment (e.g. valve) as a percent of span (displayed
for reference).
Note
This menu item (Position) is Process when process reporting (monitoring or snap-acting mode only).
