Alarm Silencing

If alarm silencing is on the operator can disable the

alarm output while the controller is in an alarm

state. The process value or temperature has to enter

the normal operating range beyond the hysteresis

zone to activate the alarm output function again.

An active message, such as an alarm message,

will cause the display to toggle between the normal

settings and the active message in the upper display

and [Attn] in the lower display.

Alarm Blocking

Alarm blocking allows a system to warm up after

it has been started up. With alarm blocking on, an

alarm is not triggered when the process tempera-

ture is initially lower than the alarm low set point

or higher than the alarm high set point. The process

temperature has to enter the normal operating range

beyond the hysteresis zone to activate the alarm

function.

Turn alarm blocking on or off with Blocking

[`A;bL]

(Setup Page, Alarm Menu).

Using Lockout to Hide Pages and Menus

If unintentional changes to parameter settings might

raise safety concerns or lead to downtime, your can

use the lockout feature to make them more secure.

Each of the menus in the Factory Page and each

of the pages, except the Factory Page, has a security

level assigned to it. You can change the read and

write access to these menus and pages by using the

parameters in the Lockout Menu (Factory Page).

Lockout Menu

There are five parameters in the Lockout Menu (Fac-

tory Page):
• Lock Operations Page [LoC;o] sets the security

level for the Operations Page. (default: 2)

Note:

The Home and Setup Page lockout levels are

fixed and cannot be changed.

• Lock Profiling Page [LoC;P] sets the security level

for the Profiling Page. (default: 3)

• Password Security Enable [pas;e] will turn on or

off the Password security feature. (default: off)
• Read Lockout Security [rLoC] determines which

pages can be accessed. The user can access the se-

lected level and all lower levels. (default: 5)
• Set Lockout Security [SLoC] determines which pa-

rameters within accessible pages can be written to.

The user can write to the selected level and all

lower levels. (default: 5)

The table below represents the various levels of lock-

out for the Set Lockout Security prompt and the

Read Lockout Security prompt. The Set Lockout has

6 levels (0-5) of security where the Read Lockout has

5 (1-5). Therefore, level "0" applies to Set Lockout

only. "Y" equates to yes (can write/read) where "N"

equates to no (cannot write/read). The colored cells

simply differentiate one level from the next.
