Alternate Limits Selected By:
Specifi es the point that initiates the Alternate mode. When this
address is zero (or OFF), the Normal alarm limits are selected;
when it is one (or ON), the Alternate alarm limits are selected.
Limits Low High
On _____ _____ °. F
Off _____ _____ °. F
On (alt) _____ _____ °. F
Off (alt) _____ _____ °. F
Local Set _____ _____ °. F
This group of inputs specifi es the alarm limits for the “Normal,”
“Alternate,” and “Local Set” modes. Each mode has a LOW and
HIGH limit. When the value of the analog input goes out of these
limits, an alarm is generated, and it will automatically print-out and
call-out (provided that the print-out has not been disabled on the
System Parameters II Screen and the call-out has not been disabled
on the System Parameters Screen).
There are two fi elds on this screen that determine which set of
limits are active—the status of the “Controlled by” fi eld and the
status of the “Alternate Limits selected by” fi eld. When the value
that has been input in the “Controlled by” fi eld is ON, either the
“On” limits or the “On (Alt)” limits are active depending on the
status of the value input in the “Alternate Limits selected by” fi eld.
If the value in the “Alternate” fi eld is on, the “On (Alt)” limits are
used, and when the “Alternate” value is OFF, the “On” limits are
used.
Alternate Limits Active Alarm
Controlled by: Selected by: Limits:
On Off On
On On On (Alt)
Off Off Off
Off On Off (Alt)
The local set alarm limits become active if the front end
computer quits communicating with the satellite controller. After
communications are re-established, any alarms that occurred while
the satellite was in local set will be reported.

These inputs are used to convert the analog signal to a binary (On/
Off) signal. The value that is going ON and OFF is a software point
referred to as a comparator. Each analog input has a comparator
associated with it named “Cn.” The comparator for analog input #1
is “C1,” analog input number 2 is “C2,” and so on. The status of the
comparator can be seen on the Analog Input Summary Screen.
When the User
has selected:
The value of the comparator is:
OFF Above &
OFF Below: OFF when the Analog Input value is greater than
the ABOVE setpoint or less than the BELOW
setpoint, and ON when the Analog Input value is
equal to either one or between the two setpoints.
OFF Above &
ON Below: OFF when the Analog Input value is greater
than or equal to the ABOVE setpoint or until the
Analog Input value becomes less than the BELOW
setpoint, and ON when the Analog Input value
is less than or equal to BELOW setpoint or until
the Analog Input value becomes greater than the
ABOVE setpoint.
ON Above &
OFF Below: OFF when the Analog Input value is less than or
equal to the BELOW setpoint or until the Analog
Input value becomes greater than the ABOVE
setpoint, and ON when the Analog Input value is
greater than or equal to the ABOVE setpoint or
until the Analog Input value becomes less than the
BELOW setpoint.
ON Above &
ON Below: OFF when the Analog input value is equal to either
one or between the two setpoints, and ON when
the Analog Input value is greater than the ABOVE
setpoint or less than the BELOW setpoint.
Because this is a “choice” fi eld, a list of available choices will be
displayed at the bottom of the screen:

the desired choice is selected and then pressing .
