4.6.5  Sensor configuration 
Basic sensor configuration must be adapted according to application needs. 
•  ZERO function: This may be ‘disabled’ or ‘enabled’. Default is ‘enabled‘. Refer also to chapter 
«ZERO». 
•  Sensor configuration with 2 sensor version [612 . . - . . . X - . . . .]. Refer also to chapter: «Pressure 
control operation with 2 sensors». 
 
Local operation: 
(‘Control Performance Analyzer’ or ‘Service Box 2‘) 
Remote operation: 
 
With CPA: 
•  Do sensor configuration in menu ‘Sensor / 
Setup’. 
 
With SB2: 
•  Enable or disable ZERO function in menu 
‘Setup / Sensor’. 
•  Do 2 sensor configuration in menu ‘Setup 
/ Sensor’. 
1. Go to «EtherCAT object – Index 20E6h» > 
«SENSOR OPERATION MODE» and set 
valid value: 
0 = no sensor 
1 = 1 sensor operation (sensor 1 input) 
2 = 2 sensor operation with automatic 
changeover (low range =  sensor 2 input, high 
range =  sensor 1 input) 
3
 
= 1 sensor operation (sensor 2 input) 
4
 
= 2 sensor operation with automatic 
changeover (low range =  sensor 1 input, high 
range =  sensor 2 input) 
Note: Sensor operation modes 2, 3 and 4 are 
possible with 2 sensor hardware(612 . . - . . . 
H - . . . . and 612 . . - . . . W - . . . .) only. 
This function does the sensor configuration 
for pressure control. 
 
2. Go to «EtherCAT object – Index 20E7h» > 
«SENSOR FULL SCALE RATIO» and set 
valid value 
Value is calculated as follows. 
High range sensor full scale value / Low 
range sensor full scale value. See picture 
«Pressure / High range, Low range sensor» 
below. 
 
Picture below shows a 2 sensor system. In 
this configuration sensor 2 covers low range 
(100 mTorr) and sensor 1 covers high range 
(1 Torr). 
This example results to an “Sensor full scale 
value” of 10.0 (1Torr / 100mTorr).
