•
To select the Initial State of the output sources and binary outputs press the
green button marked Initial State. The power and binary output states and
values selection screen will appear. You will see that you may select any
value for any magnitude that is NOT selected to carry out the Ramp.
Furthermore, the state you select for the binary outputs on this screen will be
the state that the function adopts for all the states between increases. The
magnitudes selected for the Ramp appear in grey and with the value selected
as Initial Value on the previous configuration screen, which cannot be
modified.
•
To select the Fault state of the binary outputs and output sources, press the
red button marked “Fault State”. The screen will appear to select values and
both power and binary outputs states. You will see that you may select any
magnitude that is NOT selected to carry out the Ramp. Furthermore the state
you select for the binary outputs on this screen will be the state that the
function adopts for all the fault states. The magnitudes selected for the Ramp
appear in grey and with the value selected as value of the first pulse on the
previous configuration screen, which cannot be modified.
•
To select the trip signal that will stop the ramp, press the white button marked
“trip” and select the binary inputs you wish to use. It is important to highlight
that a trip will only be considered as valid to stop the function when this
occurs within a fault state. If it occurs outside the fault state (in the state
between faults), this will be displayed on the results screen, but it will not stop
the execution of the function.
The Pulse Ramp will thus be configured and ready to be executed immediately.
Observe that the information about the number of steps (increases) and the total
duration of the function (in milliseconds) appears in the lower right-hand corner of the
window. These data are automatically calculated from the initial, end, increase and step
duration values.
