Curtis 1207B Manual
Changing parameter values
When the programmer is first connected to a 1207B controller, that controller's
parameter list is uploaded to the programmer along with the present settings. You
can scroll through this list and adjust parameter settings and test the results.
Select "Program" (the top item in the Main Menu), and then press the
right arrow on the Navigation Key to see the list of parameters. Use the down
arrow to scroll down to the parameter you wish to adjust. The present value of
the parameter, and its units, will be displayed. Use the Data Inc/Dec Key to
change the parameter's value.
Alternatively, before adjusting the parameter value from this screen, you
can press the right arrow key. This will cause a bar graph of that parameter to
appear, showing its present value and also the minimum and maximum allowed
values. You can change the value of the parameter from this screen, as well,
using the Data Inc/Dec Key.
The programmer automatically sends the change to the controller. The
new value is set when the Data Inc/Dec Key is released.
Use the left arrow on the Navigation Key to return to the previous screen.
Real-time monitoring
The programmer can request and display real-time data from the 1207B con-
troller. Select "Monitor" in the Main Menu, and use the right arrow on the
Navigation Key to display the list of Monitor variables. The values are periodi-
cally updated in this list view.
To view a single variable at a faster rate, select that variable in the list
view and press the right arrow to show a detail screen. The update rate will be
faster on this screen, because only one variable is being updated.
Use the left arrow on the Navigation Key to return to the previous screen.
Faults and fault history
The programmer allows access to the present and past status of the 1207B con-
troller. The controller runs continuous self-diagnostics and will record and log
each error event in non-volatile memory. When the programmer is connected
to the controller, this log file is automatically uploaded into the programmer.
To see the present status of the controller, use the Navigation Key to
select "Fault" and then "System Faults." To see the log file, select "Fault" and
then "Fault History."
It is useful to clear the fault history file after reading it. To do this, use the
Navigation Key to select "Fault" and then "Clear Fault History." When asked
to confirm your action, use Data Inc/Dec Key. The "+" arrow means Yes and
the "-" arrow means No (that is, it cancels clearing the fault history).
