Appendix A Runtime Templates; Introduction; Loop Definition Templet - ABB 800xA Operation

Introduction

The runtime versions of the Loop Definition and FCM templets are used to make
tuning changes that cannot be made from the faceplate and device loop displays.
Their information is always current since it comes directly from the active data base.
Some fields are for reference only and are dimmed, other fields are black and are
tunable.
Tuning changes are made to database items by first changing the information on the
templet and then sending the templet information to the database by selecting the
SAVE button. If the save process is not successful, a message describing the
problem is displayed. After corrective action is taken, you can re-try the save
process.
Saving changes both the active database in the subsystem containing the loop and
the installed database. However, the original configuration templets are not
modified until the database is decompiled.

Loop Definition Templet

This section describes the active runtime fields on the Loop Definition Templet.
LOOP DESCRIPTOR Field
Specifies a descriptor for the loop. The descriptor is used with the tag to identify the
loop. Valid entry is: any combination of up to 24 alphanumeric characters. All 24
characters are printed when information for the loop appears on the Alarm/Event
Log, and only the first 12 characters are shown when the descriptor appears on a
display.
