Using Alarm/Control Setpoints
BFM136 has an embedded logical controller that runs different actions in
response to user-defined internal and external events. Unlike a PLC, the
BFM136 uses a simplified programming technique based on setpoints that
allows the user to program a required action based on a measured analog
value or on a time. The controller provides up to 4 setpoints for each
submeter.
This setup allows configuring setpoints for each individual submeter. It can
be read and changed via the corresponding submeter’s address.
To program the setpoints for a submeter, select General Setup from the
Meter Setup menu, and then click on the Control/Alarm Setpoints tab.
