4.5 Alarms
Alarm settings are most easily accessible using FlowPlot or FlowView or a Bronkhorst® readout and control unit.
The built-in alarm functionality can be used to handle different alarm types:
· system errors and warnings
· min/max alarms
· response alarms
· batch alarms
· master/slave alarms
The used alarm type can be set with parameter Alarm Mode. When an alarm is activated, the type can be read out using
parameter Alarm Info. An automatic setpoint change can be set using the parameters Alarm Setpoint Mode and Alarm New
Setpoint. It is also possible to set an alarm delay, to prevent overreaction to small disturbances, using parameter Alarm Delay
Time. The methods by which an alarm can be reset are controlled by Reset Alarm Enable.
