9.3.1.1.5 Input Tab
The Input tab in Figure 9-7 is used to define the input types for each loop. Unused loops which do not
have heaters attached are defined as “skipped”. Also, any process offsets to make up for signal inaccuracy
are set here. All settings in this dialog box are set for each loop in your system at the Nordson
ASYMTEK factory prior to shipping.
WARNING! Only trained engineering personnel should attempt to make offset measurements or
change any settings in this dialog box.
Command Description
Type Defines the input type for each loop.
Input Reading
Offset
Input Reading Offset can be used to make up for a calibration
offset. The thermocouple inside of the heating element may
register a value that is different than the temperature of the part.
To adjust for this offset, use an independent thermocouple and
determine the true temperature of the part you are heating. The
difference between the true temperature and the PV is the offset.
To add this information to the menu, change the Input Reading
Offset. A positive number increases the reading.
Input Filter
Input Filter is usually used to compensate for noisy signals and
dampens the analog input response. Its range limit is 0-255
scans. Setting the Filter to 0 disables it.
