5.3.2 Local Menu
The local menu allows the configuration of parameters specific to the mAI085-MB.
Display Function Response
oPn Selects the Open/Close mode at startup. Selecting YES will start the
interface with the OPEN lamp on. Selecting no will start the interface
with the CLOSE lamp on. The default value is no. YES/no
oPL Selects the open relay output pulse timing. See “Controlling
Conveying Systems” for details on output pulse timing. A value of 0
disables this function. The default value is 0. 0-255
seconds
CPL Selects the close relay output pulse timing. See “Controlling
Conveying Systems” for details on output pulse timing. A value of 0
disables this function. The default value is 0. 0-255
seconds
oDL Selects the open delay. This delay allows for a conveying system to
start before beginning to open any actuators. The delay starts when
the OPEN key is pressed. See “Controlling Conveying Systems” for
details. A value of 0 disables this function. The default value is 0. 0-255
seconds
CDL Selects the close delay. This delay allows for a conveying system to
purge after closing all actuators. The delay starts when the last
actuator has been commanded to close. See “Controlling Conveying
Systems” for details. A value of 0 disables this function. The default
value is 0. 0-255
seconds
SPd Selects the baud rate for the controller communications network.
Changing the baud rate without first setting the baud rates for all of
the field devices will result in lost communication to the field devices.
The default setting is 19200 baud. 9600, 1920
5.3.3 Actuator Controller Menu
The Actuator Controller Menu allows the configuration of the field actuator controller. In
addition this menu allows the setup of internal parameters that affect the open/close timing
of the actuator controllers. Additional menu items allow the recall and saving of the
parameters from the field device on an individual controller basis.
Provision is made to create a template from a specific controller. This template can then be
used to preset any additional controllers. Using the template/copy system can help speed
up the configuration process.
