control requirements) in order to maximise relay life. For an SSR Drive 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). The permitted range of

values is:

0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 seconds

The default value is 32 seconds. This parameter is not applicable if Proportional

Band 1 is set to 0.

3.2.18 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). The permitted range of values is:

0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 seconds

The default value is 32 seconds. This parameter is not applicable if Proportional

Band 1 or Proportional Band 2 is set to 0.

3.2.19 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. Its value may be adjusted between Input Range Maximum and Input

Range Minimum. Its default value is Input Range Maximum. The operation of a

process high alarm is illustrated in Figure 3-2.

3.2.20 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. Its value may be adjusted between Input Range Maximum and Input

Range Minimum. Its default value is Input Range Minimum. The operation of a

process low alarm is illustrated in Figure 3-2.

3.2.21 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. This parameter may
be adjusted to be within

±

(input span) from the setpoint. The default value is five

input units. The operation of a band alarm is illustrated in Figure 3-2.
