Linearization
Introduction
When is displayed, a signal from a non-linear transducer-sensor
may be modified by setting the input (in. 01 – in. 16) and output (ou. 01 –
ou.16) linearization points so that the accuracy of the displayed value is
maximized. This programming step is available when using the UDM40
and LSX/HSX input modules only. On the illustration below, the nominal
output characteristics of an analog inductive proximity sensor is 4-20mA.
Note the non-linear curve. The nominal characteristics need to be divided
into a number of segments. In this example, we can divide the curve into
9 segments (9 segments + 1) corresponding to the vertical axis. The
menu must be activated and the number of linearization points
set (10 in this example). Then the input/output coordinates must be
determined and entered into the program. In this example, going from
right to left on drawing, Input 1 (shown on drawing as “1.0”; displayed as
“in.01”) = 4. Output 1 (displayed as “ou.01) = 1.0. Likewise “in.02” (shown
on drawing as 0.9) =4.5, ou.02=0.9……Fast-forward to “in.09”=12,
ou.09=0.2, and “in.10”=20, “ou.10=0.1.
It is important to note that the first and last linearization points must
correspond to those points defined in the scale menu . In this
example: “in.01”= LoE, “ou.01”=Lo.d, “in.10”=HiE, “ou.10”=Hi.d.
Inputs are noted on the “X” axis and the analog current values along the
“Y” axis. Input 1.0 has a value of 4. The second input, 0.9, has a value of
4.5, etc.

Hysteresis
The point at which an active alarm output must revert to for the alarm output to
turn off. Example: If an “up” alarm set point is “10.5”, and you want to have the
alarm reset at “10.3”, then the Hysteresis value to set in the program must be
“.2”, not 10.3. You need not be concerned about whether that value is to be in a
positive or negative direction. That is automatically configured when you select
the Down Alarm or Up Alarm.
When Hysteresis is displayed, use the key to toggle to the desired
numerical position. Using the keys, select the value for each position.
Then press to confirm and advance to the next step.

Configuring the Display Color for Alarm Event (UDM40/BD40 only)
When is displayed, the color of the display may be set to be RED,
ORANGE, or GREEN during the alarm event. Selecting NONE results in the
basic display color being used during alarm event. Use the keys to make
your selection and press to confirm. Press to advance to the next
program step sequence.
Digital Filtering
The digital panel meters are extremely fast to follow the trend of input signals and
to display the relevant values. Unlike in analog panel meters, which tend to filter
the input and present a more stable indication, the fluctuations in digital panel
meters can be quite fast and prevent the user from clearly reading the displayed
value. Fluctuations can also be introduced when the resolution of the displayed
value is higher than the input resolution. The use of a digital filter results in
higher stability of the displayed value.
There are two types of filter parameters.
The first is and it defines the operating range of the filter. Generally,
Fil.S represents the resolution (in digits) wanted to assign to the display. It is
suggested to set this parameter to evaluate the amplitude of the fluctuation on
the display and use this value as Fil.S. If, for example, a display value fluctuates
between 2.5 and 3.4, it means that the fluctuation is 9 digits and the Fil.S must
be set as “9”.
When is displayed, you may elect to program filter values by pressing the
key. This results in being displayed. Using the key, toggle to
the desired position and select the value to enter by using the keys. Press
to confirm and advance to the next step in the sequence.

UDM 35/40 PANEL METER USER MANUAL
16
The second filter parameter is . It represents the filtering coefficient.
The higher the value of Fil.C, the smoother the curve of the displayed value.
There is no theoretical rule to define this parameter, but it is suggested to start
with the same value of the Fil.S coefficient and then increase it until the desired
stability is reached. The digital filter affects the values retransmitted via both
serial communications and analog output.
Once is displayed, use the key to toggle to the desired position.
Use the keys to select the value to enter. Press to confirm. Press
to advance to the next program step sequence.
Analog Output Programming
Many times the displayed value must be retransmitted as an analog output. The
relationship between parameters is as follows:
Low Display Value >>>>> Low Analog Output
High Display Value >>>>> High Analog Output
To assure proper coordination and retransmission, it is important to note that the
parameters are programmed as a percentage of the analog output full scale
value (20mA or 10 Vdc) according to the TYPE selection (see below). Therefore,
to set 4mA as Lo.A, the correct value to be entered must be 20 (20% of the full
scale 20mA range). The Hi.A must be 100 (100% = 20mA). Because of this
programming technique, it is possible to set a reverse slope analog output
characteristic.

UDM 35/40 PANEL METER USER MANUAL

Programming example:
Retransmit a 4-20mA signal proportional to the following displayed values:
Lo.D = 0 and Hi.D = 18.
When is displayed, the Analog Output program may be addressed. Press
to enter sequence. is displayed. Press to toggle to the first

will be displayed. Press to toggle to “hundreds” position and use
keys to select “1”. Press to toggle to each remaining position and
select “0” for each. When completed, press to confirm and advance to the
next program sequence.
will be displayed. Using the keys choose either “A” for 20mA
output full range, or “U” for 10v output. In this example, the selection would be
“A”. Press to confirm. Press to advance to the next program step
sequence.
Serial Port Output
When is displayed you may elect to configure a serial port address and
baud rate. Press . will be displayed. Using the key, toggle to the
desire position and select the proper value(s) using the keys. Press to
confirm.
When is displayed, use the keys to select the desired baud rate
indicated in kbits/sec. Press to confirm. Press to advance to the next, and
last, program step sequence.

CONVERTING CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT
The UDM35/40 digital panel meters use the Celsius temperature scale.
However, the displayed value can easily be scaled to indicate Fahrenheit values
by using the following guidelines:
The LoE and HiE are always expressed as Celsius values.
To display Fahrenheit values, manually convert the LoD to a Fahrenheit value
and then convert the HiD to a Fahrenheit value.
Ex:
LoE is 0
HiE is 100
Manual conversion to Fahrenheit:
LoD would be 32 (F)
HiD would be 212 (F)
