* Alarm Input: When selected, the input will provide a visual alarm notification on alarm screen.
Using the ‘Defeat’ selection, the input can be configured to disable specific digital
outputs on the MCT control module. The alarm condition will be maintained as
long as the input is activated. The alarm will not clear until the input returns to its
deactivated state and the alarm is reset on the alarm screen or through a digital
input configured as ‘Reset Alarm’.
Start Program: When selected, the input will start the currently loaded program at step one. If a
pro
gram is currently running, no action will occur. This is a ‘single-shot’ activation
in which the input must make the required transition state in order to activate the
function.
Hold Program:
When selected, the input will put a running program into the hold state. If a
program is not currently running, no action will occur. This is a ‘single-shot’
activation in which the input must make the required transition state in order to
activate the function.
Continue Program:
When selected, the input will put a program that is in hold, into the run state. If a
program is not active or the program is not currently in hold, no action will occur.
This is a ‘single-shot’ activation in which the input must make the required
transition state in order to activate the function.
End Program: When selected, the input will turn the program off. This will also turn off all system
events. If a program is not running, no action will occur and event status will not
be affected.
This is a ‘single-shot’ activation in which the input must make the
required transition state in order to activate the function.
* Wait Input: When selected, the input acts as a trigger for the program wait for digital input
function. The input can then be selected in the program to pause a step until the
input is activated.
* Control Output: When selected, the input will act as a switch that can be used to directly control a
digital output of the MCT control module. In order to use the input as a switch for
an output, the digital output must be configured to use the input for control. See
section 10.8 Digital Outputs for more information.
* Defeat Output: When selected, the input will cause digital outp
uts selected under ‘Defeat’ to turn
off. The operation is similar to the alarm input function, but no alarm message is
displayed.
* Start Data:
When selected, the input will start and stop the data logging operation of the MCT.
