4.3.3.2 Individual Channel Configuration
You can see analog input value and configure setting for each channel. Simply click
one of the Individual Channel Configuration items for the interested channel. (The
average channel you set in the Averaging setting will also be displayed here) At the
upper part of the Status Display area, you can see the current analog input value
and defined range of that channel by the Input value and Input range text box.
Refer to Figure 5.9 below.
ADAM-6015, 6017 and 6018 modules all feature built-in alarm function. At the lower
part of the Status Display area, there are two tabs to configure the high alarm and
low alarm for the selected channel: High alarm and Low alarm. When the analog
input value is higher than the high alarm value, or lower than the low alarm value, the
alarm condition occurs. Then the alarm status will be activated to logic high. For
ADAM-6015 module, ADAM.NET Utility can detect the alarm status and show it by
the Alarm status LED display. For ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018 module, when the
alarm condition occurs, the Alarm status LED display will be lit. Besides, the speci-
fied digital output channel will generate logic high value if you build the mapping rela-
tionship between alarm and DO channel in the DO mapping area. You can set the
DO channel by Channel combo box in the DO mapping area. After choosing the
interested channel, click the Apply button.
There are three alarm modes. You can select the alarm mode by the Alarm mode
combo box for the low alarm and high alarm respectively.
1. Disable: Alarm is disabled. So even when the alarm condition occurs, nothing
will happen.
2. Latch: Once the alarm condition occurs, the alarm status will be activated to
logic high level and will keep the value until the alarm is clear manually. Before
the value is clear, the Alarm status LED will continuously be lit. For ADAM-
6017 and ADAM-6018 module, the specific output channel (chosen in the DO
mapping area) will continuously generate logic high value. You can clear the
alarm by click the Clear latch button.
3. Momentary: The alarm status will dynamically change depends on if the alarm
condition occurs. If the alarm condition occurs, the alarm status will be logic
high. If the alarm condition disappears, the alarm status will be logic low. So not
only the Alarm status LED in the utility but also the specific digital output chan-
nel value will change depend on the alarm condition.
