Note:
After switching on or a failure, always two complete cycles must be
executed until a measured value difference can be calculated and a
tendency can be outputted.
The level in a basin should be monitored on rising tendency. If the rise
is higher than 25 % per minute, an additional emptying pumpt should
be switched on. The max. reaction time should be one minute. In case
of a probable failure, the pump should be switched off.
Select in the DTM navigation section the menu items "Meas. loop -
Outputs - Relay".
l E.g. set for relay 1 the mode "Rising tendency"
l Select under "Reaction in case of failure" the option "Switching
condition off"
l Enter the following values into the parameter fields:
- Measured value more than 25 %/min.
- Max. reaction time 1 min.
The function of the tendency recognition is shown in detail in the
following diagram. The previously described example is used as a
basis.
Fig. 14: Example for tendency recognition
1 Old average value = 25 %, new average value = 25 %
Difference < 25 % -> Relay ON
2 Old average value = 25 %, new average value = 37.5 %
Difference < 25 % -> Relay ON
3 Old average value = 37.5 %, new average value = 62.5 %
Difference = 25 % -> Relay OFF
4 Old average value = 62.5 %, new average value = 75 %
Difference < 25 % -> Relay ON
5 tm -> max. reaction time
