choose hours, minutes, or seconds for time measurement, under the
Configuration tab. When the limit of 999,999 is reached, the value
will return to zero.
Status:
This is the current status of each input with respect to that input’s
alarm programming. For any input that displays a numeric value,
(temperature, 4-20mA, 0-5VDC, pulse count, or time accumulator)
the Status column will display either Okay, High, or Low. For N.O./
N.C. inputs, the Status Column will display either Open, Closed, or
the label selected for that input from the Configuration tab.
State:
The actual alarm state of the input. There are 5 possible alarm
states: No Alarm, Waiting, Alarm, Outstanding, and Cleared.
Definitions:
No Alarm (green) - A digital input is in its normal position or an
analog input is within the programmed alarm limits.
Waiting (yellow) - A digital input is in the alarm position or an
analog input has gone outside of the programmed alarm limits but
the input’s alarm recognition time has not expired.
Alarm, Alarm High, Alarm Low (red) - A digital input has remained
in the alarm position or an analog input has remained outside of the
programmed alarm limits for the length of the alarm recognition
time. An unacknowledged alarm exists.
Cleared (purple) - An alarm has been acknowledged, but the input is
still in the alarm position or is still outside of the programmed alarm
limits.
Outstanding (pink) - An unacknowledged alarm exists but the input
has returned to its normal position or back to within the pro-
grammed alarm limits.
Min & Max:
The highest and lowest values an input has reached. Digital inputs
have no Min or Max values, while other inputs may have only a
Max.
