5.2.7 Configuring Alarm/Control Setpoints
The PM130 PLUS has an embedded logical controller that can perform different actions in response to
user-defined internal and external events. Unlike a PLC, the meter uses a simplified programming
technique based on setpoints that allows the user to define a logical expression based on measured analog
and digital values that produce a required action.
The meter provides 16 control setpoints with programmable operate and release delays. Each setpoint
evaluates a logical expression with one trigger argument. Whenever an expression is evaluated as “true”,
the setpoint performs a programmable action that can send a command to the output relay, or increment
a counter.
The logical controller provides very fast response to events. The scan time for all setpoints is 1 cycle time
(16.6 ms at 60Hz and 20 ms at 50/400 Hz).
