Calibration
Using External Devices in Calibration Mode
In order to utilize external devices when calibrating an instrument,
the following things need to be set/available before the calibration
is started:
• The required firmware option has to be installed in MC5P (and
when applicable, in the connected external device).
• The Instrument’s Input Method field has to be set either to
Controlled or Controlled/Meas. About the settings:
∗ Controlled: The input signal (pressure or temperature)
is measured using one of MC5P’s measurement input
ports.
∗ Controlled/Meas: The input signal is measured by the
external device and communicated to MC5P.
In both cases: MC5P sends the set point values to the external
device via the communication cable connected to the AUX
connector
• The Instrument’s Calibration Method field has to be set to
Automatic.
• In the Instrument Window: Se-
lect the D/Menu and 7/Con-
troller Settings to select the
Controller type and activate
the communication.
Notes.
The Input Method option Con-
trolled is available for the follow-
ing Input Quantities: Pressure,
RTD temperature and TC tem-
perature.
The Input Method option Con-
trolled/Meas is available for the
following Input Quantities: Pres-
sure, Temperature, RTD Temperature and TC Temperature.
More information on how to create instruments into MC5P’s data-
base and how to edit the settings of an existing instrument is avail-
able in chapter Maintaining MC5P’s Instrument Database on page
124 and its subchapters.
Chapter Generating Signals Using External Devices on page 85
contains a description on how to utilize external devices in Basic
Mode and also information on controller settings.
