【 2.2 】 Function Introduction

• 【 Conversion Of Engineering Quantity Display 】: Signals are displayed as physical or engineering (ie pure quantity) values, The physical quantity corresponds linearly with the engineering quantity.For example, the current signal of 4~20mA corresponds to 0~100, that is, 4mA corresponds to 0, 12mA corresponds to 50, and 20mA corresponds to 100. This range can be modified by parameters
• 【 Preset Value 】: 4 groups of commonly used signal values can be preset to facilitate quick adjustment of  output
• 【 Signal Conversion 】: The input signal is converted into an output signal, which can be converted between different physical quantities; for example the input frequency signal is converted into a current signal, and the input range is 0-1000hz into 4-20mA
• 【 Programming Output 】: It has the output function of automatically  and continuously changing the size according to the set parameters, and can choose three modes: monotonous rise, monotonous fall, and cycle
• 【 Real-time Curve 】: the changing trend of input and output signals can be displayed by drawing a curve, and the sampling time of the curve can be set. It can also automatically adjust the display  curve within the range of the maximum and minimum values within a certain period of time
• 【 Modbus Slave 】: FNIRSI SG-003A can communicate with configuration  software or PLC via RS485, set the instrument
• 【 Firmware Upgrade 】: USB emulated U disk for firmware upgrade

【 2.3 】 Interface Terminal

• There are 4 inner diameter 4mm wiring ports on the top surface, which are represented by different color rings
• The blue port (IN-) is an alternate function, and it is also an input-, which can be switched to a 24V independent test power supply. The (IN-) port is internally shorted with the black (COM) port in the input state. When the (IN-) port is an independent power supply, there is a 24V voltage between the (COM) port
• The Red (OUT) port and black  (COM) port form an output port
• Yellow (IN+) and blue (IN-) form the input port
• When the (IN-) port is an independent power supply, it can be called a (24V) port, and it forms an output port pair with the (COM) port

NOTE
The safety limit voltage of the input terminal cannot be greater than 30Vpp, and the over limit will damage the equipment

【 4.6 】 24V Loop Detection
Select the 24V label left and right in the OUT signal type interface to enter this function state. In this state, displays the output 24V loop current on the main interface. Unlimited  input signal detection type

1. Loop 1: After starting the output, 24V voltage is output between the (OUT) port and (COM) port, and the loop current is detected at the same time, and the current is displayed in the “output 24V loop” area. This function can be used to test, for example, pneumatic control valves or two-wire transmitters, supply  them with a 24V power supply and detect current
2. Loop 2: After activating the independent 24V power supply. The (IN-) port outputs 24V voltage between the (24V) port and the (COM) port.It does not affect the detection type of the input signal by the (IN+) port. In this case, select mA for the input signal type. Then the (IN-) port can be combined with the (IN+) port to form a 24V output, And at the same time detect the current loop. The function is similar to the circuit one
3. Port (IN-) can be switched to an independent 24V power supply function. It outputs a single DC24V voltage, which is the (24V) port at this time.(24V) port is used with (IN+) to test two-wire transmitters

Notice
①The difference between 24V loop detection and standalone 24V is:24V loop detection output signal port to measure feedback current.
②Independent 24V port and output port can form a 24V power supply,It can also be combined with the input (+) to form a transmitter to supply power and measure the feedback current of the transmitter

• 【 Mode switch 】: When the main interface 【 FN 】 is white.Press 【 OUT 】 to switch the display position of output actual loop current value and engineering  quantity
• 【 Activate independent 24V 】: After this item is checked, the independent 24V power supply starts to output from the (24V) port (IN-) port and the (COM) port, and is not affected by input and output signal type switching
• 【 Activate Hold 】: After this item is checked, each time the machine is turned on, the 24V state will remain in the state of the last turn-on. Otherwise, every time you turn on the 24V, you need to turn it on manually
