WIKA operating instructions model T32.xS 19
6.3 Configuration
The following parameters can all be configured: sensor model, sensor connection, user
measuring range, output limit, alarm indication, terminal voltage monitoring, sensor break
monitoring, measuring range monitoring, measuring rate, damping, write protection, offset
values (1-point correction), Tag No. and user linearisation (custom chararcteristic curve).
Furthermore, a linear transformation of the process value is possible using a 2-point
correction.
User linearisation:
Via software, customer-specific sensor characteristics can be stored in the transmitter in
order to define other sensor types. Number of auxiliary points: min. 2; max. 30. If more than
2 sensors are connected (dual sensor function) further configurations can be carried out.
With the dual sensor function, two identical sensors (resistance sensor or thermocouple)
with the same measuring range are connected and then processed together.
The transmitters are delivered with a basic configuration (see data sheet TE 32.04) or
configured according to customer specifications. If the configuration is changed afterwards,
the modifications must be noted on the label using a water-resistant felt-tip pen.
A simulation of the input value is not required to configure the T32.
A sensor simulation is only required for the functional test.
Freely programmable sensor functionality when 2 sensors have been connected
(dual sensor)
Sensor 1, sensor 2 redundant:
The 4 … 20 mA output signal delivers the process value of sensor 1. If sensor 1 fails, the
process value of sensor 2 is output (sensor 2 is redundant).
Average value:
The 4 … 20 mA output signal delivers the average value from sensor 1 and sensor 2. If one
sensor fails, the process value of the working sensor is output.
Minimum value:
The 4 ... 20 mA output signal delivers the lower of the two values from sensor 1 and sensor
2. If one sensor fails, the process value of the working sensor is output.
Maximum value:
The 4 ... 20 mA output signal delivers the higher of the two values from sensor 1 and
sensor 2. If one sensor fails, the process value of the working sensor is output.
Difference:
The 4 … 20 mA output signal delivers the difference between sensor 1 and sensor 2. If one
sensor fails, the process value of the working sensor is output.
