Procedure

1. Click in the Type column of the first row (V1 = Variable 1) or
mark the row (click on V1) and use Variable Settings >
Type.
2. Select Alarm and click on OK.
3. Click in the Variable Name column and allocate a name iden-
tifying the alarm signal.
4. Click in the Additionals column and specify the type of alarm
monitoring.
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.
5. Click in the Format/Adjustment column to specify the trans-
fer format.
Since the alarm signal, like digital signals, does not require
any post decimal places (Precision), you can enter 0 here. 1
is sufficient for the Field Length.
When the dialog is closed, the number of transferred places
and the unit in the Format/Adjustment column, e.g. f, are
displayed.
6. 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.
