2.2.16 Output 1 Power Limit
This parameter is used to limit the power level of Output 1 and may be used to
protect the process being controlled. If no protection is required, this parameter
may be set to 100%. IThis parameter is not applicable if Proportional Band 1 is set
to 0.
2.2.17 Output 1 Cycle Time
The cycle time value required is dependent upon the process being controlled
and the type of output being used for Output 1. For a Relay Output, the cycle
time should be as large as possible (whilst remaining compatible with the process
control requirements) in order to maximise relay life. For an SSR Output, the cycle
time may have a lower value (and thus satisfy the requirements of a fast-changing
process variable e.g. flow or pressure). This parameter is not applicable if
Proportional Band 1 is set to 0 or if Output 1 is a DC linear output..
2.2.18 Output 2 Cycle Time
The cycle time value required is dependent upon the process being controlled
and the type of output being used for Output 2. For a Relay Output, the cycle
time should be as large as possible (whilst remaining compatible with the process
control requirements) in order to maximise relay life. For an SSR Output, the cycle
time may have a lower value (and thus satisfy the requirements of a fast-changing
process variable e.g. flow or pressure). This parameter is not applicable if
Proportional Band 1 or Proportional Band 2 is set to 0 or if Output 2 is a DC linear
output.
2.2.19 Process High Alarm 1 Value
This parameter, applicable only when Alarm 1 is selected to be a Process High
alarm, defines the process variable value at or above which Alarm 1 will be
active. The operation of a process high alarm is illustrated in Figure 2-3.
2.2.20 Process Low Alarm 1 Value
This parameter, applicable only when Alarm 1 is selected to be a Process Low
alarm, defines the process variable value at or below which Alarm 1 will be
active. The operation of a process low alarm is illustrated in Figure 2-3.
2.2.21 Band Alarm 1 Value
This parameter, applicable only if Alarm 1 is selected to be a Band Alarm, defines
a band of process variable values, centred on the setpoint value. If the process
variable value is outside this band, the alarm will be active. The operation of a
band alarm is illustrated in Figure 2-3.
