12. Analog output settings
The 0 to 20mA output can be used for displaying of several values on the analog
output. With the standard setting the output current corresponds to the measured
signal.
For example, an analog current value of 20mA corresponds to a measured vibration
velocity that has reached 100% of the measuring range set.
Important By switching over the Dipswitches, the analog output can be used for
setting or reading of the limit values G1 and G2.
The limit value adjustment means a current of 20mA, so that the switch level close to
100% of the adjusted measurement range.
Output Variable Switch Position
S5 S6 S7
Vibration velocity ON OFF OFF
Limiting value G1 OFF ON OFF
Limiting value G2 OFF OFF ON
13. Adjustment of the limiting values
If the measuring signal exceeds certain limiting values, the ESW®-Compact-Alu shall
react by switching potential-free relay contacts. These limit values can be set inside the
unit by potentiometers. The limit values can be set between 10% and 100% of the
selected measuring range.
The limit value G1 will be adjusted with potentiometer P1. Exceeded the value of G1 for
longer as 10s, then K1 is switched. The limit value G2 will be adjusted with
potentiometer P2. If limit of G2 will be longer than 5s exceeded, then K2 is switched.
Rest the measured value just from time to time over the limit value, so counts the
activation delay time after each overstepping of the limit value once more.
When the analog output of the limiting value setting is switched over, the output current
related to 20mA will correspond to the setting of the limiting value related to 100% of
the measuring range. If, e.g. G1 has to be set to 15mm/s = 30% in the measuring
range of 50mm/s, the output range will be first set to 0 to 20mA via S4 and the output
variable to limit value G1 via S5=OFF, S =ON and S7=OFF. After that, a current
output of mA (= 30% of 20mA) has to be adjusted by potentiometer P1.
A current of 8.8mA (= 4mA + 30% of 1 mA) should be set in the output range 4 to
20mA. The difference between 4 and 20 is 1 30% of 1 mA + 4mA = 8.8mA
After setting the limiting values, please pay attention that S5 will be brought to position
“ON“ and S , S7 to position “OFF“ to activate the function of the analog output as a
measuring output.
