6.3 Monitoring Automated Ramp/Soak Program Operation
The program Status view provides all information regarding the operation of the current program.
Status indicates the current operating mode of the program, i.e., active, hold, ramp, steady, waiting, etc.
Start indicates the date and time at which the program was started.
End is the calculated stop date and time for the program.
Step indicates the step number currently being executed.
Time is the time remaining in the current step.
Wait indicates the input(s) being monitored if a wait for condition is present.
Wait SP shows the set point or digital input number for the wait for condition if active.
Jump indicates the step number that program will jump to at the completion of the current step.
Cycles indicates the number of jumps remaining for the step (if any).
The
loop set points for the current step can be viewed at the top of the screen by pressing the left and right
scroll buttons to cycle through each loop configured in the system. Note that the set points shown here are the
target set points, not the actual set points the loops are controlling to. To view the actual control set point, see
the Single, Dual or Overview screens.
IMPORTANT: If the set point does not match the set point programmed for the step, the set point may exceed
the configured set point range for the loop. If a step set point exceeds a limit, it will be coerced
to the lower or upper limit that it exceeds. This is done automatically without altering the original
program.
The set point limits are those defined in the MCT configuration for the loop, not those on the
set point Limits screen under the device setup menu. It is not possible to enter set points for a
program that exceed the configured set point limits; however, if the program was imported from
another MCT system with set point limits exceeding those of the current system, this can occur.
