Alarm Configuration
The Hydro-Control VI has a number of alarms that may be configured to assist in managing, monitoring
and controlling the mixing process. When an alarm is triggered the Hydro-Control displays a visual
prompt on the screen to indicate the nature of the problem to the operator and give possible resolutions,
the Alarm OPTO output is also activated to signal that a problem exists to the batch control system.
This output could also be used to trigger an audible or visual warning. The alarm is also recorded in
the Mix Log.

Alarms can be enabled, disabled and configured from page 2 of the System Parameters as shown in
Figure 30. When troubleshooting alarms, the wiring connections and any related OPTO Input and
Output modules should be checked to make sure that they are not the cause of the fault. Inputs and
Outputs can be checked using the I/O Setup And Status screen as shown in Figure 31.
