Real Time Clock Menu
(Block 21)
The Real Time Clock menu allows setting of
the real time clock inside the DCM-3. The real time
clock does not influence actuator performance.
1 RTC Day: Day of the month (numeric value)
2 RTC Month: Month (numeric value)
3 RTC Year: Year (4 digits)
4 Hour (24): Hour of the day (24 hour format)
5 Minute: Minute of the hour (0 through 59)
Dem Curve Spcl Menu
(Block 22)
This menu allows setting the Demand
characterization nodes. (SETTING DEMAND
SIGNAL CHARACTERIZATION, page 25)
LED Status Parameter
(Block 23)
The LED Status parameter allows remote
checking of which LED’s on the DCM-3 are
illuminated.
Operating Status Parameter
(Block 24)
The Operating Status parameter is a summary
of whether process-related conditions are inside
or outside of anticipated limits. These conditions
control the STATUS INDICATION LEDs (page 21).
1 Demand
: Typically caused by the Demand
signal falling below acceptable levels. (LOSS
OF DEMAND SIGNAL (L.O.S.), page 25)
2 Position
: Caused by the CPS-5 signal being
outside the range anticipated by the DCM-3.
(OUTPUT SHAFT POSITION SENSING, page
28)
3 Temperature
: The ambient temperature
of the DCM-3 is outside of the rating.
(TEMPERATURE SENSING, page 22)
4 Thrust
: Inactive for Group 14.
5 Over-Thrust Stop
: Inactive for Group 14.
6 Stalled
: A Stall alarm is active. (STALL
PROTECTION, page 23)
7 Feedback Open
: The Feedback signal is
enabled, but cannot flow the proper current.
(CONFIGURING FEEDBACK, page 31)
8 Switch Block
: The DCM-3 cannot power the
motor due to an electro-mechanical switch.
Check the Handswitch and over-travel limit
switches.
Switch Status Parameter
(Block 25)
This parameter indicates which switches are
being actuated. Group 14 actuators do not use
this parameter.
Local Cntrl Status Parameter
(Block 26)
This parameter allows remote monitoring of
which buttons on the local configuration interface
are being pressed. (PUSHBUTTON CONTROLS,
page 20)
RET Inhibitors Parameter
(Block 27)
This parameter allows a technician to view
exactly what DCM-3 condition is preventing the
actuator motor from running in the retract direction.
Refer to Inhibitors Table (page 69).
EXT Inhibitors Parameter
(Block 28)
This parameter allows a technician to view
exactly what DCM-3 condition is preventing the
actuator motor from running in the extend direction.
Refer to Inhibitors Table (page 69).
Alarm Mask Parameter
(Block 29)
Alarm Mask
parameter shows which alarms
will cause the alarm out solid state relay to activate.
