  • The Enable Automated Calibrations check box is selected.
  • The Temperature Element Type field contains a value that is an RTD type.
Specified Maximum Dead Band Switch 1NumericA number representing the upper value on the dead band range*, where the value in the SW 1 Setpoint field is the reference point on that range. The maximum dead band value represents the amount of allowable error above the setpoint value that can occur for a calibration to be considered passed. This field is grouped with the following fields:
  • Specified Minimum Dead Band Switch 1
  • Validate Deadband

This field is populated using the following calculation:

<Set point> x <Default Max Deadband>

...where:

  • <Set point> is the value in the SW 1 Setpoint field.
  • <Default Max Deadband> is the default value in the Discrete Max Deadband field in the Calibration Setup Defaults record.

For example, if the value in the SW 1 Setpoint field is 80 and the value in the Discrete Max Deadband field in the Calibration Setup Defaults record is 10%, then the Maximum Dead Band field will contain the value 8, which indicates that the calibration can still be considered passed if the output value is higher than 80 by a value of 8. In other words, if the output value is 89, the calibration will be considered failed. If the output value is 88, the calibration will be considered passed.

The GE Digital APM system will include the dead band values in the pass/fail validation process only if the Validate Deadband check box is selected on the Discrete Calibration Template Setup datasheet. If this check box is not selected, then only the values in the Max Error Limit and SW 1 Setpoint fields will be used to determine whether a calibration has passed or failed.

The state of this field is dependent upon other fields. Specifically, if the Calibration Strategy field contains the value Single Switch or Double Switch, then this field is enabled. Otherwise, this field is disabled. You can modify this value if needed.

Specified Maximum Dead Band Switch 2NumericA number representing the upper value on the dead band range,* where the value in the SW 2 Setpoint field is the reference point on that range. The maximum dead band value represent the amount of allowable error above the value in the setpoint value that can occur for a calibration to be considered passed. On the datasheet, this field appears as a text box labeled Maximum Dead Band and is grouped with the following fields:
  • Specified Minimum Dead Band Switch 2
  • Validate Deadband

This field is populated automatically using the following calculation: <Set point> x <Default Max Deadband>

...where:

  • <Set point> is the value in the SW 2 Setpoint field.
  • <Default Max Deadband> is the default value in the Discrete Max Deadband field in the Calibration Setup Defaults record.

For example, if the value in the SW 2 Setpoint field is 80, by default, and the value in the Discrete Max Deadband field in the Calibration Setup Defaults record is 10%, the Maximum Dead Band field will contain the value 8, which indicates that the calibration can still be considered passed if the output value is higher than 80 by a value of 8. In other words, if the output value is 89, the calibration will be considered failed. If the output value is 88, then the calibration will be considered passed.

The GE Digital APM system will include the dead band values in the pass/fail validation process only if the Validate Deadband check box is selected on the Discrete Calibration Template Setup datasheet. If this check box is cleared, then only the values in the Max Error Limit and SW 2 Setpoint fields will be used to determine whether a calibration has passed or failed.

The state of this field is dependent upon other fields. Specifically, if the Calibration Strategy field contains the value Double Switch, then this field is enabled. Otherwise, this field is disabled.

Specified Minimum Dead Band Switch 1NumericA number representing the lower range value on the dead band range, where the value in the SW 1 Setpoint field is the reference point on that range. The minimum dead band value represents the amount of allowable error below the value in the setpoint value that can occur for the calibration can be considered passed. On the datasheet, this field appears as a text box labeled Minimum Dead Band and is grouped with the following fields:
  • Specified Maximum Dead Band Switch 1
  • Validate Deadband

This field is populated automatically using the following calculation: <Set point> x <Default Min Deadband>

...where:

  • <Set point> is the value in the SW 1 Setpoint field.
  • <Default Min Deadband> is the value in the Discrete Min Deadband field in the Calibration Setup Defaults record.

For example, if the value in the SW 1 Setpoint field is 80, by default, and the value in the Discrete Min Deadband field in the Calibration Setup Defaults record is 1%, then the Minimum Dead Band field will contain the value 0.8, which indicates that the calibration can still be considered passed if the measurement is lower than 80 by a value of 0.8. In other words, if the measurement is 78.9, then the calibration will be considered failed. If the measurement is 79.2, then the calibration will be considered passed.

The GE Digital APM system includes the dead band values in the pass/fail validation process only if the Validate Deadband check box is selected. If this check box is cleared, then only the values in the Max Error Limit and SW 1 Setpoint fields will be used to determine whether a calibration has passed or failed.

The state of this field is dependent upon other fields. Specifically, if the Calibration Strategy field contains the value Single Switch or Double Switch, then this field is enabled. Otherwise, this field is disabled. You can modify this value if required.

Specified Minimum Dead Band Switch 2NumericA number representing the lower range value on the dead band range, where the value in the SW 2 Setpoint field is the reference point on that range. The minimum dead band value represents the amount of allowable error below the value in the setpoint value that can occur for the calibration can be considered passed. On the datasheet, this field appears as a text box labeled Minimum Dead Band and is grouped with the following fields:
  • Specified Maximum Dead Band Switch 2
  • Validate Deadband

This field is populated automatically using the following calculation: <Set point> x <Default Min Deadband>

...where:

  • <Set point> is the value in the SW 2 Setpoint field.
  • <Default Min Deadband> is the value in the Discrete Min Deadband field in the Calibration Setup Defaults record.

For example, if the value in the SW 2 Setpoint field is 80, by default, and the value in the Discrete Min Deadband field in the Calibration Setup Defaults record is 1%, then the Minimum Dead Band field will contain the value 0.8, which indicates that the calibration can still be considered passed if the measurement is lower than 80 by a value of .8. In other words, if the measurement is 78.9, then the calibration will be considered failed. If the measurement is 79.2, then the calibration will be considered passed.

The GE Digital APM system will include the dead band values in the pass/fail validation process only if the Validate Deadband check box is selected. If this check box is cleared, then only the values in the Max Error Limit and SW 2 Setpoint fields will be used to determine whether a calibration has passed or failed.

The state of this field is dependent upon other fields. Specifically, if the Calibration Strategy field contains the value Double Switch, then this field is enabled. Otherwise, this field is disabled. You can modify this value if required.
