Stuck Input Alarm Configuration
Figure 4.18. gives an overview of the Stuck Input Alarm configuration menu.
If you wish to be notified when an input appears to be ‘stuck’ use the Stuck Input Alarm. The alarm
will be set if the input does not change by the defined amount over a set time period.

value. Press SELECT.
DELTA– This is the amount by which the process variable must change.

and press SELECT.
TIME– The span (1-300sec) in which the delta must change before the alarm is set.

variations to avoid false trips and the input signal noise and averaging filter settings to prevent
