ALARM HANDLING

EXCEL 50/100/500/600/800

Operational status All datapoints can be switched from the 'automatic' to the 'manual' operational mode. Each time the operating mode is changed, irrespective of the direction involved, a critical alarm signal is generated. Both alarm signal texts are preprogrammed and require no input from the user.

Remote (V2.0.x) (not with Excel 100C) If a manual override control is changed on a Distributed I/O module, an alarm “overr.switch_manu” or “overr.switch_auto” is generated and the “manu” value is transmitted.

Alarm suppression in manual mode Under controller firmware 2.06.02 and higher, the following datapoint alarms can be suppressed for as long as the corresponding datapoints are in the 'manual override' mode:

min. and max. limit alarms (of analog datapoints, only);

status alarms (of digital datapoints, only).

This alarm suppression is activated during CARE engineering by inserting the "at" sign ("@") at the beginning of the descriptor text of the pseudo datapoint "Startup".

Benefits:

As long as this alarm suppression is in effect, the repair or replacement of defective and/or malfunctioning (flickering) inputs (resulting e.g. from sensor breakage, sensor short-circuiting, defective alarm switches, etc.) can be performed while the corresponding datapoint is in the "manual override" mode.

NOTE: Only when using XFI 2.1.0 SIM1 will the event behavior and visualization

behavior be identical to that of Honeywell Deltanet controllers.

System Alarms

 

 

 

Operating errors that occur in a control unit or during communication with other

 

 

 

Excel 50/100/500/600/800 units are recognized and displayed by the computer

 

 

 

module. These alarm signals can relate, for example, to a defective module, the

 

 

 

need to change the buffer battery (data protection), or the presence of one digital

 

 

 

output module too many (maximum 10). These alarm signal texts are

 

 

 

preprogrammed. They are always critical alarms.
