Use the settings in this section to process floating point values so that they can be used to drive a shutdown. Float values can also optionally be averaged and scaled, and the scaled value can also optionally be written to Modbus registers.
Float Inputs - Configuration Parameters
Enable Float Input
Select this option to enable the float input. When the input is enabled, the floating point value in the Input Register, and the next register, will be read and processed.
Float inputs that drive a shutdown MUST be enabled by the user. A shutdown can be configured to be driven from a float input, but doing so does not automatically enable or otherwise configure the float Input
Use the Shutdown Manager Export feature to help detect when an input that drives a shutdown is not configured correctly
Use this setting to configure the source value for the float input. The value in the register, and the next register, will be interpreted as a single precision floating point value.
Use this setting to configure how many input samples will be averaged to generate the processed value. Averaging can be used to suppress noise in the input value, or to slow down the rate of change in fast moving inputs. Set the value to 0 to disable averaging. Averaging is applied before scaling.
Use these settings to scale the floating point value. Scaling is optional, however, if a shutdown is driven by this float input and the shutdown is configured to use the scaled value, then scaling must be enabled and correctly configured. Not doing so may cause the shutdown to be active in error or other undesirable behavior.
Averaging is applied before scaling.
Float inputs that drive a shutdown that is configured to use the scaled float value MUST have scaling enabled and configured correctly. Scaling is not automatically enabled and configured when a shutdown is configured to use a scaled float value.
Use the Shutdown Manager Export feature to help detect when an input that drives a shutdown is not configured correctly
Use these settings to write the scaled value to Modbus registers. This is optional even if a shutdown that is driven by this value is configured to use the scaled value. The value is not read from Modbus by the shutdown.
