Alarms Menu
Up to four alarms per input can be configured. Per alarm, a limit value can be set, which is mon-
itored to determine whether it is crossed in one direction or the other. Each alarm can be set to
be either latching or non-latching.
Check box “Upper” (“Upper limit”): The assigned alarms are set to be either of the “over” or “under”
type. If this box is checked, the alarm is of the “over” type.
Check box “latched”: The assigned alarms are set to be latching or non-latching. If this box is
checked, the alarm is latching.
NOTE: This property has an effect on the behaviour of the front-panel LEDs, on what is shown in
the “Measure” menu, and on the relay outputs assigned to the alarm.
Input field “Limit Values” (“Limit”): An alarm is triggered when the measurement value exceeds or
falls below the limit value set here.
NOTE: Alarms which are not required can be deactivated in this field. To do this, enter the field,
press "CLEAR" and confirm the setting with "OK".
Option field: “Relay” (“Set Output”): Assignment of the relay driver outputs to the alarms of the
selected input. After a relay driver output has been selected, the program branches to a “Menu for
Assigning Relay Outputs”.
For the sake of clarity during the startup procedure, the relay driver outputs should be configured
and assigned in the “Setup/Relay Outputs” menu.
NOTE: After the entries have been made, the settings are not accepted until the OK button has
been pressed.
WARNING
When the limit values are entered via the PC operating software, be sure to use decimal sepa-
rators in the PC operating system to prevent incorrect interpretation of the entered value.
