Additionals column and specify the type of alarm monitor-
ing.
You can specify up to four alarm conditions. When one of
the conditions is satisfied, the alarm signal is triggered.
To the left above the graphical displays select the levels at
which switching is to occur and how they are to switch.
Enter the values for the switching thresholds in the
(scaled) unit of the selected signal. Use either fixed values
(constants) or arrange for the values to be determined by
other variables.
Status indicator: The output can be set via a command from
the Test Controller, e.g. via a PROFIBUS-DP command. Click
in the Additionals column and specify the type of alarm mon-
itoring.
5. Click in the Format/Adjustment column to specify the trans-
fer format.
Since digital signals do not require any post decimal places,
you can enter 0 for Precision. 1 is sufficient for the Field
Length. With a digital input you can also specify a unit
(optional).
For several inputs/outputs there is also the type Set8 with
which 8 inputs or outputs are transferred as a number (4-byte
float format, single precision format).
When the dialog is closed, the number of transferred places
and the unit in the Format/Adjustment column, e.g. f, are
displayed.
6. Click in the Range/Error column to define the reaction in the
case of an error for the digital outputs (optional).
7. Save the changes in a file and close the module once you have
made all the changes:
The file is created within the project folder and the file name
is generated automatically. The project folder bears the same
name as the project. The generated file name contains the
address of the Test Controller through which the module is
connected and an identifier for the relevant module.
IMPORTANT
If the modules are connected through a Test Controller, new
module settings must also be updated there. Select
> Write Project (Update) in the test.commander. The project
file is in this case automatically updated.
or File > Save To File And Exit.
