Set Up Maximum Pressure Alarms and Time Delays

The QDC module continuously monitors ram (screw) and clamp pressure
inputs. When it detects that the process input equals or exceeds a preset
alarm setpoint, the QDC module sets an alarm bit. A setpoint of zero
disables the associated alarm.

To guard against nuisance alarms caused by noise spikes or pressure
transients, you can set a time delay so the QDC module must monitor
continuous excessive pressure for an amount of time before setting the
high pressure alarm. A setpoint of zero disables this delay.

Configure the QDC module for pressure alarms as follows:

1.

Determine these values for ram (screw) and/or clamp pressure
alarms:

pressure-alarm setpoint
time-delay setpoint

2.

Record non-zero setpoints on Worksheet 3-G for the pressure alarms
and time delays you want to use.

3.

Download them to the QDC module using the procedures presented
earlier in this chapter.
