steam cylinders.
– Safety Loop: Present status of the external safety chain ("Open"= safety
chain open, "Closed"= safety chain closed).
– Blower Pack: Actual status of blower pack safety loop connected to blower
pack input pins on driver board ("Open"= Blower pack safety loop is open,
blower pack does not have power to it and the humidier is stopped,
"Closed"= Blower pack safety loop is closed, blower pack starts running
as soon as the humidier produced steam).
– Enable Input: Actual status of the external enable switch, if present
("Open"= switch open, "Closed"= switch closed).

– Current Sensor: Actual heating current in amps.
– Run Time: Operating hours since initial commissioning.
– Weighted hours: Operating hours since initial commissioning related to
100 % steam output.
– Event Counter: this parameter shows the number of power cycle every
time the user has power cycled the humidier to change CXF (CXF =
Cylinder x fault) back to CXW (CXW = Cylinder x warning).
– Cycle Counter: this parameter shows how many times the humidier has
gone from an idle state (not producing steam) to active operation state
(with valid demand). Idle states include, safety loop open state, blower
pack open, any of the four idle modes in software, remote disable, etc.
