1. Select the Primary Variable under the Analog Output Setup heading. The Upper Range
Value and Lower Range Value may also be edited under this heading.
2. Verify the Upper Sensor Limit and Lower Sensor Limit and minimum span under the
Primary Variable Sensor Limits heading.
Transfer function (Direct process variable output feature board
only)
The 3051S MultiVariable Transmitter with Direct Process Variable Output Feature Board has two
analog output settings: Linear and Square Root. Activate the square root output option to make
analog output proportional to flow. As input approaches zero, the 3051S MultiVariable
Transmitter automatically switches to linear output in order to ensure a smooth, stable output
near zero (see Figure 3-39 on page 64).
From 0 to 0.6 percent of the ranged pressure input, the slope of the curve is unity (y = x). This
allows accurate calibration near zero. Greater slopes would cause large changes in output (for
small changes at input). From 0.6 percent to 0.8 percent, curve slope equals 41.72 (y = 41.72x)
to achieve continuous transition from linear to square root at the transition point.
Note
Do not set both the analog output of the device and the control system to square root.
