Span Your Valves

Chapter 9

What You Have Accomplished

The valve spanning procedure you just completed has defined the:

range of pressure available during any ejector profile

end-of-range minimum and maximum signal levels for linear control of

the ejector pressure valve in open-loop control.

For this

range limit

When trying to obtain

the pressure in:

The QDC module drives the selected

pressure valve to % output signal in:

Minimum

EAC41, ERC41

EAC43,. ERC43

Maximum

EAC42, ERC42

EAC44, ERC44

Now for open-loop ejector profiles, the QDC module assumes a liner
relationship between ejector pressure and signal output.

Set the Profile Pressure Alarm

Set the maximum pressure alarm EAC57 (N45:53) equal to an ejector
pressure that should:

not be exceeded during the ejector profile
not be greater than EAC42 (N45:38) or ERC42 (N45:98) maximum

pressure control limits

Entering zero disables this alarm.

Download the EAC block to the QDC module.

Important: If downloading from your programming terminal, download
EAC followed by EPC, with download bits B21/21 and 23 (chapter 4).
