EAGLE QUANTUM PREMIER DEVICES
Channel Configuration
Adjustable parameters include the engineering units and range, the analog signal (ma) range, alarm setpoints,
deadband adjustments for both the module and the eight individual channels, and an alarm trigger direction
selection per channel.
Being a multi-channel device there are multiple tagnames. At the top of the dialog box there is a device tagname
that refers to the module as a whole and is used with its global status and diagnostic events.
Ranges
Below this are channel tagnames and configuration fields relating to the eight individual channels. Fields are
provided to enter the engineering units and ranges for both the milliamp input and engineering range.
Deadband
A field is provided to enter the desired PV (Process Variable) Deadband.
Normally all values are transmitted to the controller every five seconds; If the
PV changes more than the entered percentage before the five second report
time arrives, an immediate message is sent with the current values.
The Alarm Setpoint areas also provide a deadband (DB) field allowing the
individual alarm hysteresis to be configured.
