Analog output of the GMP231 has a defined behavior when the values measured by the probe are outside the scaled analog output range:
- Output is allowed to go 10% over the scaled range.
- Output is set to error state when measured value is more than 10% outside the scaled range.
- Output resumes normal function when measured value returns to within 10% of the selected range.
For example, consider a GMP231 with 0 ... 20 mA analog output, scaled to 0 ... 10 %CO2.
- When measured CO2 rises above 10 %CO2, the output rises above 20 mA.
- The output keeps rising until the measurement is 11 %CO2, at which point the probe outputs 22 mA.
- If the CO2 level rises above 11 %CO2, the output enters the error state, which is 23 mA for the 0 ... 20 mA output.
This overrange and error state behavior is specific to the analog output, and does not affect the readings provided by the digital outputs. |
You can change the analog output overrange behavior using the AOVER command.
