SIPART PS2 with and without HART
198 Operating Instructions, 10/2013, A5E00074631-11
Description of parameter P
P. PAVG - calculation of position average
Use this parameter to activate the test to calculate and monitor the position average.
Configure the following settings to activate the test:
1. Set the "P.
PAVG" parameter to "On". Sub-parameters to set the test parameters are
displayed. The test is activated.
2. Set the suitable parameter values in sub-parameters. The setting options available in
sub-parameters are described below.
During the test, the position and reference average values are always compared at the end
of a time interval. The positioner triggers an error message if the current position average
exceeds a threshold.
The factory setting is "OFF".
P1.TBASE - time base for averaging
Use this sub-parameter to set the time interval to calculate the position average.
The following values are available to define the time intervals:
● 30 minutes
● 8 hours
● 5 days
● 60 days
● 2.5 years
After starting the reference average calculation and the expiry of the time interval, a position
average over the interval period is determined and compared with the reference average.
The test is then restarted.
The factory setting is "0.5 h".
P2.STATE - status of the position average calculation
Use this sub-parameter to start the calculation of the position average. If a reference
average has never been determined, the parameter value is "IdLE".
Then start the calculation by pressing the
button for 5 seconds. The value in the display
changes from "IdLE" to "rEF". The reference average is calculated.
