APPENDICES 

Appendix A:  Alarm Mode Selections for parameter 'A1Fu' 

 

'00'  Deviation High Alarm:

  For the Deviation High Alarm, the value entered for the 

"A1SP" parameter equals the amount the controller's HIGH alarm setpoint is offset 
from the main controller setpoint. For example, if SV = 400 and A1SP = +10 then 
the Limit Alarm relay will trip when the temperature reaches 410

o

.  The Deviation 

alarm setpoint tracks the main setpoint meaning that it changes as the main 
setpoint changes always remaining a programmed number of units from the main 
setpoint. 

'01'  Deviation Low Alarm:

 With the Alarm setup as a Deviation Low Alarm, the value 

entered for the "A1SP" parameter equals the amount to which the controller's LOW 
alarm setpoint is offset from the main controller setpoint. For example, if you 
entered  SV = 400 and A1SP = -10 then the Alarm relay will trip when the 
temperature falls below 390

o

. The Deviation alarm setpoint tracks the main setpoint 

meaning that it changes as the main setpoint changes always remaining a 
programmed number of units from the main setpoint. 

'02'  Process High Alarm:

 Relay trips when the process (PV) exceeds the value 

programmed at A1SP. Process alarms are fixed, absolute values and do not 
change as the main control setpoint changes. 

'03'  Process Low Alarm:

 Relay trips when the process (PV) falls below  the value 

programmed at A1SP. Process alarms are fixed, absolute values and do not 
change as the main control setpoint changes. 

'04'  Deviation High Alarm with Standby Sequence:

 Same as the Deviation High 

Alarm but no relay action takes place until the process PV reaches the setpoint for 
a second time. Also known as "Startup Inhibit" and is useful for avoiding alarm trips 
during startup. 

'05'  Deviation Low Alarm with Standby Sequence:

 Same as the Deviation Low Alarm 

but no relay action takes place until the process PV reaches the setpoint for a 
second time. Also known as "Startup Inhibit" and is useful for avoiding alarm trips 
during startup.
