PACTware Multi-Input/Output Device Type Manager
Section "Settings":
■
Target mode:
Mode selection option per channel.
Choose the target mode of the output value for each of the 12 channels.
The following 3 modes are available:
•
Auto:
Automatic.
The measured value of the device is used as output value.
•
Manual
Option to set the output value of the device manually.
•
Out of service
The channel is not in use and the output value is BAD.
■
Invert OUT:
Determine whether the setpoint is logically inverted before writing to OUT in
Auto mode.
■
Fail-safe behavior:
Defines the reaction of a device if a fault is detected.
•
Use fail-safe value as OUT
•
Use last valid OUT value
•
Keep (wrong calculated) OUT value
■
Fail-safe value:
Default value for the OUT parameter if a sensor or sensor electronics are
detected. Ensure that the fail-safe behavior is set accordingly.
Process Data Parameters in the Online Mode
The following parameters contain read-only information displayed in the online mode.
■
Actual mode
Current mode of the channel. The mode can differ from the "Target mode".
Example: A different value or status is selected but the selection is not confirmed yet.
More Information
For more information on the modes of operation, see chapter 8.2.
More Information
For more information on the fail-safe behavior, see chapter 9.1.3.
Process Data Parameters in the Online Mode
The following parameters contain read-only information displayed in the online mode.
Section "OUT":
■
OUT:
Process variable of the discrete input block in Auto mode. User-specified value
defined in the manual mode or during operation. When the diagnostic status turns to BAD,
the device uses the value specified in the fail-safe behavior.
The following 2 pull-down menus are active in case the actual mode is set to
“
Manual
”
. In
this case, you can make the settings for online diagnostic simulation purposes.
- OUT status type
- Alarm limits
■
Inverted
If this check box is shown as active, this confirms that the setpoint was logically inverted
before writing to OUT in the target modes "Auto".
■
Simulation enabled
If this check box is shown as active this confirms that the "Simulation" for this MIO sensor
input is enabled.
