4.4.6 Flow Type
■ Flow Type
This function sets, from among four types of flow rate characteristics, the relationship
between the input signal and the position. A sketch of the four characteristics (linear,
equal percent, quick open, and user-defined) is shown below.
Figure 4-4. Flow Characteristics Overview
Note
If this has been set to user-defined, the flow rate characteristics conversion data can
(must) be specified.
■ Flow Type configuration procedure
Step Procedure
1 Select [Device] >> [Setup] >> [Flow Type].
2
Select from [Linear], [Equal Percent], [Quick Open], and [User-defined]. If [User-defined]
has been selected, specify the flow rate characteristics conversion data [User-defined Data].
3 Send the modified setting to the device using the transmission button.
■ User-defined Data
This function sets user-defined flow rate characteristics conversion data. There are 16
data points for input and 16 for output. For each point, specify an input signal (User
Data IN1–16) and an output signal (User Data OUT1–16). The characteristics will be
the result of connecting the 16 points with straight lines.
Note
• Input all 16 points (input signal and position).
• Specify the input values in order from smallest to largest.
• Specify the values such that the characteristics increase monotonically.
■ User-defined data configuration procedure
Step Procedure
1 For [Device] >> [Setup] >> [Flow Type], select [User-defined].
2 Select [User-defined], and enter all parameters User Data IN1–16 and User Data OUT1–
16.
3 Send the modified setting to the device using the transmission button.
