ALARM B PA21 L135
Description:
This subroutine calculates and loads the deviation value based on setpoint (SP) and
process variable (PV). Before the calculation is performed the setpoint value is
conditioned so as not to exceed the rate of change limit specified by T1. If the
calculated deviation falls within the CZ value, then deviation is forced to 0.0. This
module also determines if alarm conditions exist based on AIX, PL1, PL2 and ADB.
Results of the alarm tests are loaded to PA1 and PA2. Refer to Section 4.1.6 of
Instruction Bulletin 53MC5000 for an explanation of AIX values.
