Application Notes HOLD Function The input value and alarms are frozen while the logic input is closed. With logic input closed, a reset turns OFF both the relay outputs and the alarms latch. FLASH function The input value is sampled, the setpoints are “frozen”, when the logic input switches on the input value is “frozen” and the setpoints are updated based on the last acquired value.
String assigned to an alarm Each enabled alarm can be assigned an alphanumeric string composed of 5 characters, to be displayed on the PV in level 1. The string of alarm n (with n from 1 to 10) is enabled by means of parameter At.n = +512 (to display the string when the alarm trips) or At.n = +1024 (to display the string when the alarm limit is exceeded in case of alarm with time delay).
