Chapter 3 Module Features
Process Alarms
Process alarms (configured in engineering units) alert you when the module has
exceeded configured high or low limits for each input channel. You can latch
process alarms. These are set at four user configurable alarm trigger points:
• High high
• High
• Low
• Low low
You can configure an alarm deadband to work with these alarms. The deadband
lets the process alarm status bit to remain set, despite the alarm condition
disappearing, as long as the input data remains within the deadband of the
process alarm.
Figure 8 shows input data that sets each of the four alarms at some point during
module operation. In this example, Latching is disabled; therefore, each alarms
turns OFF when the condition that caused it to set ceases to exist.
