10.1 Service
The service counters provide service interval alerts and life total service numbers for each of the digital outputs
available on the MCT control module. The service intervals (counter set points) are adjustable and can be set
to match service intervals for equipment operated by the MCT.
Two service alert set points are provided for each output of the MCT. One service alert is available for the
number of times each output turns on and is adjustable from 0 to 4,000,000,000 cycles. The second service
alerts is for ‘on’ time and is adjustable from 0.0 to 400,000,000.0 hours.
To adjust a counter set point, select the output from the list by touching its description. The current set point
for that output will be shown in the set point field at the bottom of the screen. Enter the new set point by touching
the set point field and press the ‘Done’ button on the numeric keypad when finished.
NOTE: To adjust the cycle counter, you must be viewing the elapsed interval or life total counts for the
outputs. To adjust the set point for hours of operation, you must be viewing the elapsed run or total
life hours of the outputs. See section 10.1.1 Service Options.
When a service interval is exceeded, a service alert can be set to appear on the alarm screen. This alert will
notify the operator that service should be performed at the next available down period. However, the alert will
not be able to be cleared from the alarm screen until the service counter that has been exceeded is reset.
In order to determine which service counter has been elapsed, scan the list of outputs and look for the
‘Exceeded’ description. To clear the counter, select the output from the list and press the ‘Clear’ button. This
will clear the counter so that it can begin totalizing for the next service interval.
