MOD 30ML Functions
CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES
• The algorithm blocks belonging to the instrument version selected will be shown as a menu
on the left frame.
4. Let us first configure a scan group:
There could be as many as five scan groups in an instrument database. The control loops
(database blocks connected together) are grouped into Loop Compounds. The Loop
Compounds can be assigned to any of these scan groups. All the blocks and compounds
in a particular scan group will be executed at the same scan rate configured for the group.
This way you can have many loops in the database and they can be executed at different
rates depending on their priority and speed of the process they are controlling.
• Notice that all the four blocks on the screen are selected. Deselect them by clicking on a
blank space and then double-click on the IF (Interface) block. The Interface block will open as
shown in the next figure: The block is displayed in a visual notebook format, with tabbed
“pages” containing the parameters for configuration. The Execution tab (page) of this block
will be displayed by default.

• Change the Group 1 scan interval from 250 ms to 200 ms by typing in the ms field of Scan
Intervals:Group 1.
Configuration parameters related by common nature are grouped into tabs. This helps to
display of information in a logical manner. Most fields under these tabs contain default values
that need not be changed.
