External Alarm Inputs
Operating Mode
Selecting the Operating Mode field displays a submenu. Each alarm input
can operate in one of 3 different modes, direct, latched, or toggle. Each
mode is described below.
Direct - The alarm condition activates or de-activates when it physically
changes state, or is set or cleared with macros.
Latched – Once triggered the alarm will remain active until it is reset
manually using the alarm clear key on the keyboard.
Toggle – The first time the alarm is triggered it becomes active, the next time
it is cleared.
You may either select the required operating mode from the list box as
shown below or by typing in the first letter of the required option.
When the desired mode is highlighted in the list box or in the field, press
Enter on the keyboard.
Alarm Disable
When the MAXPRO-Net
system starts running, each alarm can be either
enabled or disabled by default.
Yes – disables the alarm
No – enables the alarm
You may either select the required alarm disabled state from the list box as
shown below or by typing in the first letter (N or Y) of the required option.
When the field contains the desired alarm state, press Enter on the
keyboard.
Note:
Any alarm can be enabled or disabled while the system is running by
using the system menu, or by executing a preprogrammed macro
sequence.
