Conductivity/Resistivity Analyzer/Controller

5.2 I/O Setup and Configuration Tasks

Ease of configuration

Configuring the 9782 software is fast and easy. A menu is provided for every configuration task. You will be permitted to configure only those parameters relevant to your application and supported by the Analyzer/Controller model you purchased. In fact, configuration screens will contain only prompts and menu choices that apply to your application.

Accessing the I/O setup and configuration menus

Use the MENU key to access the main menu which includes CONFIGURATION and I/O SETUP choices.

If the security feature has been enabled as described in Section 10, the password must be entered in response to the prompt before you can proceed. (Out-of-the-box units do not require entry of a password to access the menu system.)

Purpose of I/O setup

I/O setup can be accessed to either choose or review I/O parameters. When you choose features during I/O setup, the software makes appropriate I/O assignments. I/O setup (see 5.3) must precede configuration. The choices made during I/O setup determine which prompts and menu choices are available during configuration. (Even though I/O setup is performed first, I/O SETUP is last on the main menu because you usually only have to access this function a few times in the life of your Analyzer/Controller.)

Purpose of configuration menu items

The configuration menu contains the following items for accessing screens used to configure the features described below.

∙CAT/RETRANSMISSION: If the hardware supports analog outputs, configure parameters related to use of these outputs as described in 5.4.

∙ALARMS: If one or more relays are available for annunciation of alarms, configure each alarm input, setpoint, deadband, and delay as described in 5.6. (Alarms are assigned to relays with I/O SETUP.)

∙DISCRETE CONTROL: One or more relays can be used to achieve control of process variables using On/Off, Duration Adjusting Type (DAT) or Pulse Frequency Type (PFT) control strategies. Configure the related parameter values as described in 5.5.

∙ADVANCED FEATURES: This menu item provides access to configuration screens for the following features:

∙CLOCK SETUP: A display showing the current time can be accessed when the unit is online. The 24-hour clock must be set before you can use the AutoClean feature described below. Set the clock as described in 5.7.
