About Limit Detectors
Limit detectors monitor sensor feedback signals. If the sensor signal exceeds user-defined limits, the controller
can trigger a detector action. The adjustment range equals 130% of the selected range’s full scale.
Actions
Standard detector actions include: Station Power Off, Interlock, Program Interlock, Program Stop, Program
Hold, or Custom Actions.
Example
The following figure shows how a limit detector can automatically stop a test. Here the limits have been set
to remove station power when the displacement feedback reaches either +1.1 cm or -1.1 cm. When the
specimen breaks, the +1.1 cm upper limit is reached. The limit detector then trips, stops the test, and removes
station power.
