It’s important to do proper sensor configuration. The valve internally calculates in absolute values, so the valve needs to know what sensors are connected.
The CPA window shows a good overview of the sensor settings
Parameter |
Description |
|
Available |
Set to True if a sensor is connected |
|
Enable |
Set to True if the sensor signal is used for pressure control |
|
Input Source |
Analog
Digital
Simulation |
Sensor has an analog voltage interface and is direct connected to the valve. Sensor and Valve have EtherCAT interface and is connected to the EtherCAT bus Testing the valve and pressure control without being connected to the system |
Range.Scale |
Select type of the sensor signal Linear Logarithmic Most gauges are linear type gauges. |
|
Range.Data Unit |
Set the pressure data unit of the gauge: Pa, kPa, bar, mbar, Torr, mTorr, psia, psig |
|
Range.Upper Limit Data Value Range.Lower Limit Data Value |
Set the upper limit and lower limit of the gauge in the unit of Range.Data Unit Example for a 250mTorr linear sensor: Upper Limit = 250.0 Lower Limit = 0.0 |
|
Range.Upper Limit Voltage Value Range.Lower Limit Voltage Value |
These parameters are only used for gauges with analog voltage interface. The values corresponds to Range.Upper Limit Data Value and Range Lower Limit Data Value Example: Upper Limit: 10.0V à 250mTorr Range Upper Limit Data Value Lower Limit: 0.0V à 0.0mTorr Range Lower Limit Data Value |
|
Filter.Enable |
True enables the filter |
|
Filter.Type |
Available since April 2021. Low-pass Simple is backwards compatible. |
|
Filter.Time |
Set filter time in the range of 0.0 to 1.0 second. Note: Filter delays the sensor signals which is detrimental for pressure control |
