Analogue inputs

 

Press the name of an analogue input to change it.

 

"min" is used to select the minimum sensor value.

The respective unit for the system/display can be selected in the "Unit" column.

"max" is used to select the maximum sensor value.

 

If there are inputs that are configured as weight (kg or lbs), the "Tare setting" menu is used to automatically add an input field for the tare weight value.

The current values of the analogue inputs are displayed as soon as the unit and the measuring range are entered.

The analogue input 1 can be switched on or off as a purge monitoring sensor by pressing the button under purge monitoring.

 

Pressing "Analogue Alarms" in the main menu will take you to the analogue alarm configuration.

 

Individual analogue alarms can be activated in the "Status" column. The basic value to be monitored is then defined under "Setpoint” and the "Alarm" column is used to define whether an overrun or underrun should be reported. "Delay" allows you to define the time after which an overrun or underrun should be reported. The display name that appears in the alarm history can be entered in the "Alarm name" field.

 

If you press the double arrow to the right, the list of alarm names will open. You can assign different alarm actions to these alarm names.

 

Press "No action" to scroll to the required alarm action.

These are the possible settings for alarm actions:

Alarm actions

Action

Description

No action

The alarm is not active

Warning

The alarm is active but does not switch any valves

Shutdown

The alarm is active and closes all corresponding valves

If the pressure (e.g. outlet pressure) drops to 5 bar, the valve is closed.

If the pressure rises (e.g. outlet pressure) to 20 bar, a pre-alarm is issued in the form of a warning.

If the pressure drops (e.g. inlet pressure) to 10 bar, a pre-alarm is issued in the form of a warning.

If the pressure (e.g. purge gas) drops to 10 bar, the valve is closed.

For the shut-off of the valves, the Shutdown action must be pressed.
