About Stopping External Command Processes
Typically, you will use an MPT Data Limit Detector Process or Digital Input
Detector Process to end the External Command process.
• You can use a Data Limit Detector Process to interrupt the External
Command process after a specified time period or when specified signal
limits are reached.
• If your external programmer can issue a signal when the program is
complete, you can use a Digital Input Detector Process to interrupt the
External Command process.
• You can stop the External Command process manually by clicking the stop
control on the Station Controls panel. This stops the process and the
procedure.
• You can resume the External Command process by clicking the run control
on the Station Controls panel.
When the External Command process stops or is interrupted, you may
configure it to remain at its current level, or to taper to the setpoint specified on
the Scaling tab. If a setpoint is not specified on the Scaling tab, the signal tapers
to the system setpoint.
If you click Run after holding the command, the process will either ramp to the
specified setpoint and then taper up to the defined amplitude (if Enable Ramp is
selected), or taper directly up to the defined amplitude (if Enable Ramp is not
selected).
