Alarms
Alarms are set by clicking the
icon on the desired input signal found in the
Input
Configuration Tab. Setup the
threshold and alarm type in the
Condition
section and then select which output to turn on in the
Action
section. The
alarm can be set to be latching or non-latching in the
Recovery
section. If the alarm is set to be latching, press the reset
button on the XW Transmitter to clear the Alarm.
The alarm state is now viewable on the ZW-REC webpage by monitoring the DIN input.
Note:
When alarms are enabled readings are taken once per second. This greatly reduces battery life, therefore an
AC Adaptor is recommended.
ON/OFF Control
To configure ON/OFF Control on a device, navigate to the
Output configuration tab in SYNC and click on the
icon
located to the right of the available outputs. Clicking the
icon will open the Define ON/OFF Control dialog box as
seen in
Figure 36
. Choose the input with the active alarm
that you would like to control and set your preferred
parameters.
The
Setpoint
establishes the target process value and the
Deadband
establishes the range from the Setpoint that the
process value can accept before the output is activated.
When
Reverse
control is selected, the output is on when the
process value is below the
Setpoint
. When
Direct
control is
selected, the output is on when the process value is above
the
Setpoint
.
Once the ON/OFF Control parameters have been set, click
Save
to finalize the settings.
More functions are constantly being developed for the XW Transmitter and other smart devices. Check the latest SYNC
version for the newest updates.
