Sensor matrix
For this configuration step, proceed to the following menus
A special feature of the sensor manager is the possibility to link logically all available sensors and contacts via a matrix. Because the
matrix does not tell you which sensors and digital inputs you want to use for linking to each other, there are numerous ways to map your
operating scenario - as an example, a pressure sensor monitoring a pipe can be used with a temperature sensor on a corresponding
pump in the first instance. With a second instance, different sets of sensor markers can be combined to trigger a unique alarm behavior.
How does the sensor matrix work?
As already described, the matrix is a link of individual instances that build on each other
1. Sensors and Inputs -> Individual single configuration and event management
2. Matrix marker -> Links logically individual sensors and digital inputs to a collective marker
3. Output switcher -> Links logically single alarm marker to switch an output
Each of these three instances has its own events, which can be assigned with jobs via the event control inside the sensor menu.:
Adding analog sensors
At system tab Sensors, open Setup to entert he sensor configuration dialog:
Name
Enter a name or a description that will be shown at the alarm matrix as well as the sensor monitor.
Sensortype
Determine the type of sensor. To do this, select one of the predefined sensor types from the list. For third-party sensors, please consult
the appropriate user manual to enable connection. Please note that some sensors are so-called combinated sensors - two sensors in
one housing. These require both channels and no further sensors can be connected.
Unit
With the choice of the sensor a suggestion for the indicated unit name appears. You can customize the name to your liking, but the unit
that you see as a suggestion will not change itself.
Pre-alarm / alarm
Passen Sie an dieser Stelle die entsprechende Alarmstufe an. Dabei gilt folgendes Grundprinzip:
Adjust the appropriate alarm level. The following basic principle applies:
With increasing values on a measurement scale, the pre-alarm is BEFORE the actual alarm - at a temperature, e.g. the pre-alarm (pre-
alarm) at 70 °C - the actual alarm is 90 °C. As the values decrease, the concept revolves: the pre-alarm must be higher than the actual
alarm - in relative humidity, this means the pre-alarm is at 17% humidity during the actual alarm, which would be triggered at 15%
relative humidity.
Note:
Please keep in mind, with decreasing temperatures the pre-alarm may be set with +3°C, but the actual alarm is at -5°C. From 0°C down,
the numbers will start to increase with a negativ sign.
