Parameter Settings
Param Settings
Param | Range | Example |
Param1 Alarm Output This would be the tag output of a controller. |
1 to 5000 | 1 to enter Alarm Output for Tag 1. |
Param2 Tag Interlock This would be the tag input of a controller. If no interlock is required, set Param2 to 0. |
1 to 5000 | 2 to enter Tag Interlock for Tag 2. |
Theory of Operation:
This allows the output of a controller to be controlled (Param1) if the Tag
Interlock tag (Param2) is set to manual override mode. Thus in a control
situation, the control would be in override and then the user can turn on and
off the output as required.
Normally the settings would be duplicated for a tag control system, i.e
Tag 1 is a control input, and Tag 2 is the output relay. Thus Param1 would be
set to 2, and Param2 would be set to 1.
