resistance (10 Ω) range value, or below the minimum range of the thermocouple
or RTD.
Level Alarms
The following level alarms are available.
• Low
• Low-Low
• High
• High-High
When the channel input goes below a low alarm or above a high alarm, a bit is set
in the data table. All Alarm Status bits can be read individually or by reading the
Channel Status Byte (see page 35
).
You can configure each channel alarm individually.
Digital Filters
The modules also support a digital filter to smooth input data noise transients on
each input channel. This value specifies the time constant for a digital first order
lag filter on the input. It is specified in units of milliseconds. A value of 0 disables
the filter.
To learn how to configure digital filters, see page 21
.
