BEAMEX MC5P - MC5 P Signal Generation and Simulation

Startup and Basic Operation
Generating/Simulating
General
This chapter and the subchapters describe only how to generate/
simulate signals using MC5P’s own modules. Part C discusses the
use of external devices connected to the auxiliary interface.
MC5P is capable to perform the following generation/simulation func-
tions:
• Voltage generation
• Current generation
• Frequency and pulse generation
• Thermocouple simulation
• RTD and resistance simulation
Generation/simulation in Basic Mode require that you first select
the Window to be used (Commands: Start with D/Menu and con-
tinue either with A/Window 1 Setup or B/Window 2 Setup). Each
generation/simulation has its own unique 1/Quantity and 2/Func-
tion/Port settings in their window’s menu. The other window menu
settings (generation/simulation unit etc.) refine the generation/simu-
lation characteristics.
The presentation of each generation/simulation begins with a para-
graph defining the modules that include terminals required for the
generation/simulation (Most generated/simulated signals are done
with the ET module but current generation may also be done with
the E module). Because of MC5P’s modularity you may or may not
have the required module. If the module is not included in your
MC5P, the 1/Quantity and 2/Function/Port settings needed for the
generation/simulation are not available as choices in the pop-up
lists.
Each generation/
simulation also has
at least one picture
with a circle around
some of MC5P’s
terminals, like in the
adjacent picture.
The circle indicates
active terminals for
each 1/Quantity and
2/Function/Port setting in the window menu.
