6.5.2 Configuring the mA output range (LRV and URV)
The mA outputs use a range of 4 to 20 mA to represent the assigned process
variable. You must specify:
• The lower range value (LRV) – the value of the process variable that will be
indicated when the mA output produces 4 mA
• The upper range value (URV) – the value of the process variable that will be
indicated when the mA output produces 20 mA
Enter values in the measurement units that are configured for the assigned process variable (see
Section 6.4).
Note: The URV can be set below the LRV; for example, the URV can be set to 0 and the LRV can be
set to 100.
6.5.3 Configuring the AO cutoff(s)
The AO (analog output) cutoff specifies the lowest mass flow or volume flow value
that will be reported through the mA output. Any mass flow or volume flow values
below the AO cutoff will be reported as zero.
AO cutoff can be configured only if the process variable assigned to the mA output
is mass flow or volume flow. If an mA output has been configured for a process
variable other than mass flow or volume flow, the AO cutoff menu option is not
displayed for that output.
Note: For most applications, the default AO cutoff is used. Contact Micro Motion customer support
before changing the AO cutoff.
Multiple cutoffs
Cutoffs can also be configured for the mass flow and volume flow process variables (see Section 8.6).
If mass flow or volume flow has been assigned to an mA output, a non-zero value is configured for
the flow cutoff, and the AO cutoff is also configured, the cutoff occurs at the highest setting, as shown
in the following examples.
Example
Configuration:
• Primary mA output: Mass flow
• Frequency output: Mass flow
• AO cutoff for primary mA output: 10 g/sec
• Mass flow cutoff: 15 g/sec
As a result, if the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec, all outputs
representing mass flow will report zero flow.
