9 Parameters
This chapter discusses the parameters available with DT-9. Some parameters are not normally used
on Stock coal feeders. These parameters are hidden by default and are marked as Normally Hidden
in the parameter list below. These parameters can be viewed, modified or made visible using the
Expert Mode in EasyServe. Use the
Edit | Expert Mode menu selection or the F6 key. The default
password is 7353.
9.1 General Information
Parameters are variable features or data used to adapt DT-9 to the application.
There are two principal types of parameter:
Selection parameters - for selection from multiple Options
•
Select characteristic values (e.g., display unit, control behavior)
•
Select event classes (determine reaction on events)
•
Select hardware configuration (source, unit, channel, level)
Numeric parameters - for direct input of numeric values
Parameters can be changed during operation. However, parameters influencing measuring result,
e.g., display filters, must not be changed.
Default Values:
The DT-9 controller saves two different sets of default parameter value, referred to as Factory
Defaults and Custom Defaults. Factory Defaults are set in the controller firmware and cannot be
modified. These values provide a common starting point for new systems. Custom Defaults can be
modified in the field and can store the custom settings used for a particular installation. Custom
Defaults are set during factory testing.
All parameters are preset with default values that don’t normally need to be changed. You can recall
default values using the "Load Factory Defaults" function and the “Load Custom Defaults” function.
Identification:
Parameters are organized by function group and identified as follows:
"Group number - parameter number - parameter name", e.g., P01.02 Com. Error ARM7.
Parameters Attributes:
The DT-9 is versatile system that can be user programmed for a variety of application and many of
the parameters required for one application are not required for others. To simplify operation, each
parameter has a parameter attribute that can be set to hidden (H), read only (R) or read/write (W).
Special parameters that are not normally used in Stock feeders are factory set to default values and
then hidden. Their current values, default values and hidden status can be changed in EasyServe,
using Expert Mode (Menu: Edit | Expert Mode). The default password is 7353.
