8.1.2 Setpoints
What setpoints are:
Setpoints are analog, binary or special data objects which are used for adjusting the controller to the specific
environment. Setpoints are organized into groups according to their meaning. Setpoints can be adjusted from
the controller front panel, PC, MODBUS, etc.
Each setpoint can be protected by a password against unauthorized changes. Password protection can be
assigned to the setpoints during the configuration procedure.
IMPORTANT: Do not perform repeated writing of setpoints (e.g. do NOT have a MODBUS
’watchdog’ system where PLC periodically writes down a figure into register and then reads the
figure). The setpoints are stored in EEPROM memory, which can be overwritten up to 100 000 times
without risk of damage or data loss, however it may become damaged, when allowed number of
writing cycles is exceeded!
The issue with EEPROM memory limit is resolved from ID-DCU MARINE firmware version 2.2,
setpoint registers were moved into another memory part of the controller.
