6.3.9  Limiters  
A limiter triggers the SCP’s limiter response, which causes the panel’s green LED to flash 
and a limiter message will be displayed on the screen every few seconds. 
 
The display periodically switches from the indication view 
to the limiter view and back to the indication view. 
It is still possible to navigate in the SETPNT or MENU, but 
the limiter is always displayed for a short time. 
The blinking display can be disabled by changing the 
panel to local control. Active limiters can be seen in the 
parameter/signal group “Limiter status” (Group 05). 
Example: Limiter 12 = 4 + 8 (see the table below) 
The limiters “Max Ie” and “V/Hz” are blinking
