Setpoints

The IQ plus 710 indicator provides twenty programmable setpoints for control of both indicator and external
equipment functions. Setpoints are conÞgured to trip based on speciÞed conditions; tripping the setpoint can be
used to request indicator functions (print, tare, accumulate) or to change the state of a digital output controlling
external equipment.
Figure 8-1 shows the general structure of the SETPTS menu. See Section 3.2.7 on page 28 for a detailed
description of the SETPTS menu. The eighteen setpoint kinds are described in Table 8-1 on page 55.

Batch and Continuous Setpoints

IQ plus 710 setpoints can be either continuous or batch setpoints.

the corresponding digital output on.
are active one at a time, in an ordered sequence. The IQ plus 710 can use batch setpoints to
Batch setpoints
control up to twenty separate batch processing steps. A digital output associated with a batch setpoint is on
until the setpoint condition is met, then latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.
To use batch setpoints, you must activate the BATCHNG parameter on the SETPTS menu. This parameter
deÞnes whether a batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO sequences repeat continuously, while
MANUAL sequences require a BATSTRT digital input, BATSTART EDP command, or STRTBAT macro
command before restarting. As shown in Table 8-1 on page 55, GROSSSP, NETSP, and RELSP setpoint kinds
can be conÞgured as either batch or continuous setpoints.
The BATCH parameter must also be set on for each batch setpoint. If the setpoint is deÞned but the BATCH
parameter is off, the setpoint operates as a continuous setpoint, even during batch sequences.
