Set Point Input (Pin 8)
The set point input signal can be a 0 to 5 Volt (factory setting) or 0 to 10 Volt signal. The range
of the set point input signal must match the range of the pressure output signal. The 640B
controller is initially configured for a 0 to 5 Volt pressure output signal. Therefore, the set point
input signal must be 0 to 5 Volts, where 5 Volts represents 100% of full-scale. To change the
range of the pressure output signal to 0 to 10 Volts, you must reposition jumpers on the
Transducer board. Refer to How To Change the Pressure Output Signal Range, page 48, for
instructions on changing the pressure output range.
Note
For downstream control applications, the 640B controller must have
sufficient pressure on its inlet side to achieve the set point.
Optional Input (Pin 10)
Use pin 10 to re-introduce another signal, such as a remote zero-corrected pressure signal, into
the control circuitry of the 640B Series controller. The corrected signal introduced on pin 10
overrides the pressure transducer signal (pin 2), and is sent to the control loop circuitry.
The Trip Point Pins (Pins 13 and 14)
The 640B Series controller offers two alarm trip points: Trip Point A and Trip Point B. Each trip
point has an LED and adjustment pot on the top cover. The trip points are NPN open collector
transistors.
The trip points can be set from 1 to 100% of full-scale by adjusting the appropriate trip point pot
located on the top of the unit. The trip point setting is a 0 to 5 VDC signal available on the side
of the unit.
Use the appropriate trip point output signal to control a relay or another piece of equipment, such
as a valve, or as a digital input to a computer. The trip point signal is pulled to ground when the
trip point is on. The voltage value of the pin is 5 Volts when the respective trip point is off.
Refer to Trip Points, page 39, for a complete description of the trip points.
