Global Alarm
The CLS200 comes equipped with a global alarm output. The global output is activated if one or
more of the following conditions occurs:
• A system alarm occurs, or
• A failed sensor alarm occurs and is unacknowledged, or
• A process alarm occurs and is unacknowledged. The global alarm occurs only if the alarm
type is set to
ALARM
in the
SETUP LOOP ALARMS
menu. (The global alarm does not occur if
the alarm type is set to
CONTROL
.)
The global alarm output stays active until all alarms have been acknowledged. When the global
alarm output is active, it conducts current to the controller’s dc common. When the global alarm
output is not active, it does not conduct current.
NOTE!
You cannot configure any parameters for the global alarm. The active state of
the global alarm output is NOT affected by the DIG OUT POLARITY ON ALARM polarity
parameter in the SETUP GLOBAL PARAMETERS menu.
Ramp/Soak
If you have a controller without the Ramp/Soak option, pressing the
RAMP/SOAK
key has no effect.
If you have a controller with this option installed, see
Chapter 6: Ramp/Soak on page 115
