PACTware Multi-Input/Output Device Type Manager
■
Target mode:
Mode selection option per channel.
Choose the target mode of the output value for each of the 12 channels.
For the channels 1 ... 4, the following 4 modes are available:
•
Remote-Cascade:
(RCas)
Mode to prevent the channel from automatically restarting when switching ON the
device or when the status of the setpoint value has become "bad".
•
Auto:
Automatic.
The measured value of the device is used as output value.
•
Manual
Option to set the output value of the device manually.
•
Out of service
The channel is not in use and the output value is BAD.
■
Invert OUT:
Determine whether the setpoint is logically inverted before writing to OUT in
Auto or RCAS mode.
■
Fail-safe time:
Time in seconds from detection of failure of the actual used setpoint to the
action of the function block if the condition still exists.
■
Fail-safe behavior:
Defines the reaction of a device if a fault is detected.
•
Use mechanical fail-safe position
•
Use last valid setpoint value
•
Use fail-safe value as setpoint
■
Fail-safe value:
Default value for the OUT parameter if a sensor or sensor electronics are
detected. Ensure that the fail-safe behavior is set accordingly.
