Segment Editing (Cont.)
GO BACK TO
For GoBack segments only, this allows the user to enter a segment number for the program to return to.
CYCLES
For GoBack segments only, this allows the number of times the program returns to the ‘Go Back To’
segment, before continuing.
DURATION
Sets the amount of time for which Dwell segments are to operate.
Times are entered using a hours/minutes/seconds/milliseconds display
which appears when the ellipsis button to the right of the duration
field is clicked on.
WAIT FOR
Select an analogue or digital input as the wait criterion. For single channel
programs only one analogue input is available; for two-channel
programmers one digital and two analoge inputs are available, as shown.
CH1 (2) TSP
The channel 1 (2) target setpoint, editable by the user in a similar way as that
used for segment name editing, described above. Ch2 TSP appears only for two channel programmers.
TIME
For programs where ‘Ramp Style’ = ‘Time’, this allows the user to enter time periods for ramp segments,
in a similar way, as described for ‘Duration’, above. For two channel programmers, two times can be
entered, and if the two times are different, the channel with the shorter time waits at its setpoint value
until the other channel’s time has elapsed.
RATE
For programs where ‘Ramp Style’ = ‘Rate’, this allows the user to eneter a rate value for Ramp segments.
This value is entered in the same way as that used for segment name editing, described above. For two
channel programmers, two rates can be entered.
OTHER PARAMETERS
Holdback, PV Event etc. parameters may or may not appear depending on the programmer features
enabled, and they are all edited in the ways described above.
