Limits view parameters

The
Limits
view includes these parameters:
Parameter
Description
High Clamp
Displays the highest value an output channel is allowed to reach in the control process.
Low Clamp
Displays the lowest value an output channel is allowed to reach in the control process.
Disable All Alarms
Select to disable alarms for the current channel; all alarm entries under this check box are disabled.
The
High Clamp
and
Low Clamp
Alarms are disabled also, but the actual limits themselves are still effective and thus shown above the disable check box.
Latch Limit Alarms
Select to maintain the high and low limit alarms even after the condition ceases. The high and low limit alarms are set if the requested output level is beyond either limit (> High or <Low).
Ramp in Run Mode
Enables ramping during Run mode. Ramping occurs between the current output level and any new output value received. The output is only allowed to change at the configured ramp rate limit every 35 milliseconds.
If you select
Ramp in Run Mode
, in
Ramp Rate
, type the maximum rate of change, in engineering units per second, that an output may make.
Ramp Rate
Displays the maximum rate of change an output may make in engineering units/second. Also serves as a trigger point for a Ramp Rate Limit alarm when
Ramp in Run Mode
is selected. You can also use the Ramp Rate Limit for ramping to a user-defined value in Program or Fault mode.
Latch Rate Alarm
Select to maintain the rate alarm even after the condition ceases. The ramp rate alarm is set if there is a minimum change of input between samples of a channel.
Unlatch
Unlatches the adjacent alarm condition.
Unlatch All
Unlatches all alarms for the channel.
