4.7  RS232 Interface configuration 
 
4.7.1  RS232 interface configuration 
The factory default configuration of the RS232 interface might be changed to fit the application by using 
the CPA4.0 SW. 
 
 
Local operation: 
with ‘Control Performance Analyzer’ 4.0, refer to 
chapter: «Local operation» 
Remote operation: 
1.  Open the CPA 4.0 
2.  Click [Local] 
3.  Click [Valve] > [Parameters] 
4.  Click [Interface RS232/RS485] 
5.  Select the ‘Operation Mode’ 
6.  Do the ‘COM Settings’ 
7.  Do the ‘Input/Output’ settings 
8.  For saving the settings Click [Save] 
Refer to “RS232 setup commands” for details. 
 
 
4.8  Sensor configuration 
 
4.8.1  Sensor configuration 
It’s important to do proper sensor configuration. The valve internally calculates in absolute values, so the 
valve has to know what sensors are connected. 
 
Parameter  Description 
Set to ‘True’ if a sensor is connected 
Set to ‘True’ if the sensor signal is used for pressure control 
Set the pressure data unit of the gauge 
Value 
Range.Lower Limit Data 
Value 
Set the upper limit and lower limit of the gauge in the unit of 
“Range.Data Unit” 
Example for a 250mTorr linear sensor: 
Upper Limit = 250.0 
Lower Limit = 0.0 
Range.Upper Limit Voltage 
Value 
Range.Lower Limit Voltage 
Value 
These parameters are only used for gauges with analog voltage 
interface.  
The values corresponds to Range.Upper Limit Data Value and 
Range Lower Limit Data Value 
Example: 
Upper Limit: 10.0V    250mTorr Range Upper Limit Data Value   
Lower Limit: 0.0V   0.0mTorr  Range Lower Limit Data Value 
Select if a ‘Linear’ or a ‘Logarithmic’ type of gauge is used. 
Most gauges are linear type gauges. 
Select ‘Analog’ if a gauge with analog voltage interface is used.  
Select ‘Digital’ if an RS232 gauge is used.
