10 Enable Clamping Option.






Step Action

11

ATTENTION

The PV High must set before the PV High High will appear.

Configure Alarms for the CM.

• Click the Alarms Tab of the DACA Block.

• Enter the information as given below :

Trip Point Priority On-Delay Time (sec) Off-Delay Time (sec)

PV High High 260 URGENT 0 0

PV High 210 HIGH 10 0

PV Low 20 LOW 0 10

Here we have configured On-Delay Timer of 10 sec for PV High. It means Controller waits for 10 sec after the value reached to 210 (Alarm Condition) and then it triggers an alarm.

In case of PV Low, we have configured Off-Delay Timer of 10 sec. Controller triggers an Alarm when PV is below 20. But Controller waits for 10 sec, even if the condition is Normal.

ATTENTION

Alarm debounce feature is introduced to avoid a false alarm generated by process disturbances. In the field, alarms may be generated due to fluctuations; to avoid this, On-Delay or Off-Delay timer can be configured on Block level.

Timer can be configured in Seconds only.
