    Alarms will reassert themselves if alarm conditions are still present. Analog Output The analog signal (4-20mA) that is generated by the LDB-ST1LE . It can correspond to the Rate or Total. This output is used primarily for transmission of process information to remote systems.
  • Page 52 LDB-ST1LE Batcher Flow Alarm A visual indication that the volumetric flowrate is above or below the flow alarm setpoint specified by the user. Flow Signal Timeout The Flow Signal Timeout allows the user to enter a timeout of 0 to 99 seconds. If a batch is “Filling” and zero flow persists for more than the user entered time then the batch will be aborted. This prevents over flows due to faulty flow sensors and/or wiring. Flow Equation A flow control expression or algorithm describing a mathematical equation to be solved by a flow computer in the desired application. Follow Alarm Alarm relays which are non latching and whose output state is based solely on the comparison of the current process value, the alarm setpoint (trip point) and hysteresis.
  • Page 53 . Pulse Output The pulse output of the LDB-ST1LE is available for remote accumulation of the total or sent to peripheral devices, such as a PLC. The output can be scaled using the Pulse Output Scaling Constant.
  • Page 54 LDB-ST1LE Batcher Quick Update % This feature is used to disable the rate averaging filter when a significant change in the flow rate occurs. The user can enter the percent of change needed to be detected to disable the averaging feature. This is especially useful during start-up and shutdown of flow. Rate Averaging Filter The rate averaging filter is used to stabilize fluctuating rate displays. Higher settings provide more averaging for a more stable display. Derived from the equation: ((OLD DATA x "Avg. Filter") + NEW DATA) ("Avg. Filter" + 1) Ratemeter Any device used to display the speed of a process. The ratemeter in the LDB-ST1LE displays flow rate.
