Event The Event is frequently used for Alarm purposes. Event can also be used for Digital Output (DO), Timer, Totalizer, Counter or Report functions. Type: There are various event configurations that can be selected for an Alarm or job purpose. Choices are H, L, HH, LL, R or r. H: High limit. When the process exceeds high limit, the alarm or job is actuated. L: Low limit. When the process drops below low limit, the alarm or job is actuated HH: High high limit, sets up another limit higher than high limit for double warning. LL: Low low limit, sets up another limit lower than low limit for double warning. R: Increasing rate of change. The job or alarm is actuated when the rate of increasing process value is greater than the specified rate time interval. For example, when the Setpoint is set to 100_1S, if the process is increasing greater than the value of 100 in 1 second, then the job or alarm will be actuated. r: Decreasing rate of change. The job or alarm is actuated when the rate of decreasing process value is greater than the specified rate time interval. For example, when the Setpoint is set to 50_2S if the process is decreasing greater than the value of 50 in 2 seconds, then the job or alarm is actuated. Setpoint: A fixed value for actuating Job1 and /or Job2. Job1, Job2: When an event occurs, the task to be performed is called the job. A typical example is to trigger an alarm buzzer in the event of high temperature. Each pen can accept four events (or alarms) and each event can create two jobs. Please note that a job under an Event is different from a job by pressing the Operate key. The former is actuated by an event, and the latter is actuated by manual control, no event necessary. Various types of jobs can be selected: No Action: Do nothing. Log Alarm: Record alarms. Log Event: Record events. Sound Buzzer: Sound the buzzer. It stops once any key is pressed. DO Latch On: Set digital output / relay on, and then select Target from DO 1 to DO 6. The relay is latched when it is activated.
