Vessel Pressure
Vessel Pressure
0,54,5VDC input, to measure the VESSEL PRESSURE (pv_pv) through a 3-wire sensor
(Supply – GND – Signal).
A 3-wire ratiometric sensor is used, supplied by 5VDC coming from the controller.
The tolerance of the controller‟s 5VDC supply is nor critical if the measured signal VDC is
compensated as following:
real signal VDC = 5VDC / measured supply VDC * measured signal VDC
In case the 5VDC supply is shortcircuited, the real signal VDC is set to 0.
No extrapolation of the Vessel Pressure value is done if the real signal VDC goes below
0,5VDC.
Extrapolation of the Vessel Pressure value is done if the real signal VDC goes above
4,5VDC.
In case of a sensor failure alarm, the displayed value will be „---„.
Values going from -0,2bar up to +0,3bar will be displayed as 0bar.
The Vessel Pressure Sensor wiring is monitored for shortcircuit and wirebreak.
If the sensor‟s real signal VDC ≤ 0,25VDC for 0,5s., a VESSEL PRESSURE SENSOR
CIRCUIT controlled stop will appear.
If the sensor‟s real signal VDC ≥ 4,75VDC for 0,5s., a VESSEL PRESSURE SENSOR
CIRCUIT controlled stop will appear.
When a sensor failure is occuring (also when the sensor circuit monitoring delay has not
expired, and the alarm is not active yet), „---„ will be shown in the display as value, but
for modbus broadcasting, alarm logging, calculations, ... the (limited) scaled value will
still be used.
