Alarms (Analog versions only) - Configuration Attributes
Alarms are a user configurable feature. This feature may be adjusted via the
Diagnostics Port using a special software application available from Brooks.
Reference the Brooks Expert Support Tool (BEST) User Manual for more
information about the Diagnostic Port and software application.
Each alarm has the following common user configurable attributes:
Alarm Code -
The alarm code specifies the code to be flashed on the LED
to indicate that an alarm condition has occurred. When more than one alarm
is active, then the LED will indicate the most severe alarm with the highest
Alarm Code. Alarm Codes do not have to be unique, i.e., more than one alarm
type can use the same alarm code.
Connector Pin 3, on the 15 pin D-Connector also provides an open collector
TTL output that will close depending on the alarm situation and the alarm set-
tings for remote monitoring of alarms (See Figure 3-3).
Latching Enable -
When an alarm is set to non-latching that means the alarm
is indicated only when the monitored value exceeds the specified conditions.
When the alarm is set to latching, it means that the alarm will be indicated
