MODULE #6 - PROGRAM ALARM/SETPOINT
If the alarm option is installed, this module is used to configure the operation of the alarms to a variety of combinations. The programmable options are HI/LO acting, auto/manual reset (latching), tracking, assignment to input or integrator/totalizer, display alarms, alarm values and hysteresis (deadband) values.
ALARM TRACKING
With alarm tracking, whenever alarm #2 is changed, alarm #1 will also change so that the offset between alarm #2 and alarm #1 remains the same. This is useful for hierarchical setpoints
“trAc” < > “yES” or “NO”
DISPLAY ALARMS
If display alarms are desired, a message will flash on the display every
“dISP” < > “yES” or “NO”
AUTO OR MANUAL RESET FOR ALARM #1
The reset action of alarm #1 may be programmed to reset automatically (unlatched) or be programmed to require a manual reset (latched), through either a remote input
ALARM #1 ASSIGNMENT TO INPUT OR
INTEGRATOR/TOTALIZER
Alarm #1 may be programmed to activate on either the input or the integrator/totalizer value. If the integrator/totalizer option is not installed, this step defaults to the input.
PROGRAM VALUE FOR ALARM #1
The range of the alarm value is
PROGRAM HYSTERESIS VALUE FOR ALARM #1 (Cannot be programmed if alarm latch is programmed)
The hysteresis (deadband) value for alarm #1 may be programmed from 1 to 9,999 for the input and 1 to 999999 for the totalizer option. The value is either added to or subtracted from the alarm value depending on whether the alarm is high or low acting. (See “alarm” section for operation.)
ALARM #1 HIGH OR LOW ACTING
The action of alarm #1 may be programmed to activate either when the display value goes above the alarm value (high acting) or goes below it (low acting).
AUTO OR MANUAL RESET FOR ALARM #2
The reset action of alarm #2 may be programmed to reset automatically (unlatched) or be programmed to require a manual reset (latched), through either a remote input
