A.4.3 Sensor Object
The sensor object has one network variable input and eleven network variable outputs.
nviResetAlm input
This network variable causes latching alarms and faults to be reset. The reset will only take place if
the cause of the fault or alarm no longer exists. Additionally, the reset only occurs when a non-zero
update is sent to this input.
This means that sending an
ST_LOW
to this input once will not have any effect on alarms or faults
that occur later. This input resets both the local relays and LonWorks network variables.
nvoAlmL output
This network variable normally has the value
ST_OFF
. When a level 1 alarm exists the
alarm1
relay
will be activated and this output will have the value
ST_LOW
.
When a level 2 alarm exists the
alarm2
relay will be activated and this will produce
ST_ME
D.
nvoAlm2 output
This variable normally has the value
ST_OFF
. When a level 2 alarm exists this will have the value
ST_MED
.
This network variable is provide for use with common shutdown relays that are not capable of
discriminating between
ST_LOW
and
ST_MED
in installations where discrimination between
alarm1
and
alarm2
is desired.
nvoAlarmThresh1 and nvoAlarmThresh2 outputs
These network variables indicate the current alarm thresholds of this instrument. Gas concentrations
greater than the amount reported in these variables will cause the alarms to activate. See the related
subsequent discussion of
nviHighLim1
and
nviHighLim2
.
The units are the same as the front panel display and will be indicated by
nvoConcType
, below. The
units will be
ppm
,
%LEL
and
%V/V
respectively when gas sensor cartridges for toxic, explosive and
oxygen gasses are installed.
For example if an H
2
cartridge is installed and
nvoAlarmThresh1
is
50.00
, this means that
alarm1
will
activate when the H
2
concentrations exceeds
20,000 ppm
since LEL for H
2
is
40,000 pp
m.
