Analogue inputs

 

Press the name of an analogue input to change it.

 

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

Selecting "min"=

"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.

 

Pressing "Next" will take you to the analogue alarm configuration.

 

Up to 8 alarms can be configured here. In the first column, all analogue inputs are automatically numbered. Pressing one number scrolls to the next analogue input which means that multiple alarm configurations can be assigned to one input, for example.

The analogue inputs that are to trigger an alarm must be switched from OFF to ON. The conditions for alarm triggering and the alarm designations displayed when activated can then be set. A single analogue input can be assigned to multiple alarm actions. For example, it is possible to set high and low pressure alarms on a single pressure transmitter.

 

Pressing "Next" will then open the list of alarm names. 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 drops (e.g. inlet pressure) to 10 bar, a pre-alarm is issued in the form of a warning.
If the pressure drops to 5 bar, the valve is closed.

If the pressure rises (e.g. outlet pressure) to 15 bar, a pre-alarm is issued in the form of a warning.
If the pressure rises to 20 bar, the valve is closed (shutdown).

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