Front Face Configuration Lab –
Datapoint Configuration
4.1 Foreword
In the previous lab, we learned to default the instrument, load and run a single loop
Flexible Control Strategy. The single loop control strategy we loaded had all the database
or control parameters in their default values and ranges. It is important to change some of
these default values to suit the process application.
4.2 Objectives
In this lab we will change the analog input’s span and zero, controller’s range and setpoint
limits, and set the alarm limits and the alarm index: After completing this lab, you should
know how to modify the settings of a single loop control strategy.
4.3 Instructions
1. Enter Configuration mode:
• Press the E-mode button (dot button) until you see DISPLAY, CONFIGURE or
PROGRAM at the bottom of the display.
• Press the F2 button until
CONFIGURE 5 is displayed at the bottom.
• Press F3 to accept the configuration mode. On design level A controllers, the
bottom line should now display the following: POINT
L
.
On a design
level B controller, the bottom line should read DATAPOINT or MODULE .
Press the F2 button until DATAPOINT 5 is displayed.
• Press F3 to accept the DATAPOINT configuration mode. The bottom line should
now display the following: POINT
L
2. Change the Analog Input’s Span and Zero:
• The Span and Zero for the process variable (CS1 Single Loop Control Strategy) are
stored in memory locations C256 and C276 respectively. We will change the value of
Span to 350.00 and Zero to 0.
• Using the UP arrow , locate the letter C. The display should look like the
following now: POINT
L
