Conguration
Activating the Qx switching output
Note:
The switching output designation (Q1 in the example here) changes according to the
selected process variable to be output.
1. Log in to Exprt mode, see “8.2.2 Exprt mode”.
2. Activate the Q1 switching output
• Set the parameter to ON in the Q1-### / SIMQ1 menu.
Further options:
− Off = switching output off
− Norm = switching output in measuring operation
− On = switching output is active
Note:
The simulation is automatically deactivated if the supply voltage is interrupted.
Activate the QA analog output
The sensor's analog outputs can be activated for simulation; for example, to check the
settings of a PLC.
Note:
The analog output designation (QA in the example here) changes according to the se-
lected process variable to be output.
Conguration (using current output for level as an example)
1. Log in to Exprt mode, see “8.2.2 Exprt mode”.
2. Dene the level setting.
• Set the parameter to LEVEL in the QA-### / QAPROC menu.
3. Dene the current output.
• Set the parameter in the QA-### / QATYP menu to 4 to 20 mA.
4. Activate the simulation.
• Set the parameter in the QA-### / SIMQA menu to a value between 3.5 mA
and 21.5 mA.
Simulating the level
A simulated level can be set to test the completed conguration in the sensor.
All parameters and outputs are then set according to the simulated level.
