MMI Product Documentation

The operation of a limit statement after the following OPCODEs is described in more detail below:

E (EVENT) (INPUT)

- A limit statement here will

 

cause the program to wait

 

for the specified event

 

INPUT (normally event

 

numbers 8-15) to switch to

 

the specified state (ON OR

 

OFF, 1 OR 0), before

 

proceeding. If this does not

 

occur within the specified

 

limit time, a limit time-out

 

alarm will occur.

 

Note: The event INPUT must be

 

held in the trip state for at least 30

 

seconds to make sure that the

 

Programmer will acknowledge it.

 

Thus, a momentary push button

 

could not be used as an event

 

INPUT unless some type of

 

latching scheme is employed.

 

If a limit statement is not used, the

 

program may wait indefinitely.
