Alarm setup for TPC alarms:
a.
Move the cursor to the desired alarm setup and press Enter (F4).
b. Use
the
and
keys to move the cursor to the desired param-
eter. Press Edit (F4). Use the arrow keys to change the setting to
the desired value and press Save (F4) to store the value
Setpoint:
Setpoint is the usually the value to which the process
is to be controlled. The alarm will not be on much when the
process is at the setpoint value.
Proportional:
Proportional is the same as proportional band and
is the range over which control is being used. It is the opposite of
process gain. Smaller values provide tighter control.
Integral:
Integral is the number of seconds over which deviations
from the setpoint are integrated to remove continuing offsets.
Smaller values provide higher response.
Derivative:
Derivative is a form of control that resists all changes
in readings. Higher readings increase the derivative function. To
prevent process oscillation, use caution in setting the derivative
value.
Time period:
Time period is the cycle time for TPC control. One
cycle consists of an energized (relay on) time and a deenergized
(relay off) time.
URV:
URV is the deviation from the setpoint that results in the
alarm being on all the time.
LRV:
LRV is the deviation from the setpoint that results in the
alarm being off all the time. The LRV should be set to 0.00.
Setpoint
: 1.000 ppm
Proportional: 100.0%
