Section 5.5 Restricting PLS Outputs

This selection provides the menu shown in Figure 5.12 and allows the user to restrict operator access to
specific programmable limit switch outputs. The arrow keys are used to position the cursor onto the
desired channel and the CHANGE STATUS softkey is used to restrict or un-restrict the selected channel.
Changing the status of a PLS channel to Restricted secures the present setpoint and description
information. The ability to change or bypass the channel will be removed from the display selections
normally available in the programmable limit switch menu. No changes will occur to a restricted channel
if a different job is recalled. Channels that are bypassed before being restricted will automatically return
to normal operation. Only PLS outputs 1-8 can be restricted.
