Transfer dropdown menu located in the Status Bar. Or, click the button in the Tool Bar.
Note:
If two alarms have been set with one configured to trip in the case of a broken wire and the
other to trip due to another selected parameter and an actual Broken Wire failure occurs, both the
Out of Range

Stuck Input Alarm
The fields below must be configured in order to set up your Stuck Alarm properly. The alarm will be
set according to the minimum change of the process variable over a set time period.
Enter the

Delta Time

process variable does not change by more than the Delta value with the Delta Time.

To set the correct value for delta and delta time, you need to understand the expected
process variations to avoid false trips and the input signal noise and averaging filter settings to
prevent missing stuck inputs.

Transfer dropdown menu located in the Status Bar. Or, click the button in the Tool Bar.
Note:
If two alarms have been set with one configured to trip in the case of a broken wire and the
