DCP200 Profile Controller & Recorder - Product Manual

 

 

 

Operator Profile Control

 

Allows the operator to control the defined profiles.

 

 

If a profile is running, the choices are: Do Nothing; Abort Profile (end

 

 

immediately); Jump to Next Segment; Hold Profile or Release Hold.

 

 

If no profile is running, the choices are: Do Nothing; Run Profile or

 

 

End Profile Control (returns to standard controller operation). - only

 

 

shown if enabled in the Profile Control Menu.

Profile Information

 

Shows the Profile Status (Running, Held, Aborted or Ended); Profile

 

 

Time Remaining, Cumulative Held Time; Cycles Completed and

 

 

Profile Sequences Completed - not shown when in Controller mode.

Segment Information

 

Shows the Current segment number and type (Ramp Up, Ramp

 

 

Down, Dwell, or End); Segment Time Remaining, Loops completed if

 

 

loop-back active- not shown when in Controller mode.

Start & Stop Data

Manually Stop or Start a new recording. – only shown if Recorder

Recording

 

Log Trigger is Operator Start/Stop.

Recorder Status

The status of the data recorder. It shows if a recording is in progress;

Information

 

the recording mode (FIFO or Record Until Memory Is Used); the

 

 

memory usage for each recording sample; memory remaining (in

 

 

bytes) and the approximate* recording time remaining.

 

 

*If the status of alarms is recorded, extra samples are taken when

 

 

these alarms change state. Therefore recording time will reduce.

Trend View

An auto-scaling trend graph of the Process Variable; Process

 

 

Variable & Setpoint (doted line), or the Minimum and Maximum value

 

 

of the Process Variable measured since the last sample. Any active

 

 

alarm(s) are indicated above the graph. 120 data points are visible.

 

 

The user can scroll the right hand cursor line back to examine up to

 

 

240 data points. The sample interval is set in Display Configuration.

Recorder Memory Full

Indicates that the Data Recorder memory is full and that recording

Warning

 

has stopped – Only if Recording mode is Record Until Memory Full.

- Custom Display

The user can copy up to 50 Configuration Menu parameters into

Screens

 

Operation Mode using the PC software.

 

 

Note: In this mode these screens are not pass-code protected.

Note:

The operator can freely use the screens in this mode, but it is possible to make the entire Operation Mode “read only” from the Display Configuration sub-menu. This includes any custom screens.

Navigating in Operator Mode

Press to move forward or to move backwards through the available screens.

When a displayed value can be adjusted, use or to change its value.

In Trend View, pressing or moves the Cursor Line back through the last 240 data points.

Adjusting the Local Setpoint(s)

Setpoints can be adjusted within the limits set by the Setpoint Upper and Lower Limit parameters in Control Configuration. Operation Mode adjustment of Setpoint is not possible if Read Only Operation Mode has been selected in the Display Configuration settings.
