PRESENTATION N1540 is an extremely versatile process controller. It has several types of input, with thermocouples, resistance thermometers and linear voltage and current signals that allow the equipment to indicate the most diverse variables. In addition, it has different alarm functions, display Offset, configuration password protection, serial communication, display in Celsius (°C) or Farenheit (°F) degrees, among other features.
SPA1 Absolute minimum value alarm. Triggers when the PV value is below the point set by ALr-SPA1 (using alarm 1 as an example): difl ALrF – SPA1 ALrF ALrF ALrF – SPA1 positive SPA1 negative SPA1 NOVUS AUTOMATION 5/22...
The auxiliary supply is another feature available. It is suitable for feeding the process transmitters that generate the input signal for the digital panel meter. Available on terminals 11 and 13 of the rear connector. SERIAL COMMUNICATION For complete information, see APPENDIX 1 – COMUNICATION PROTOCOL. Figure 1 Serial communication NOVUS AUTOMATION 6/22...
The digital panel meter allows you to create a connection between display range and output current with inversely proportional behavior (rtll > rtKL). Available on terminals 18 (+) and 19 (-) of the rear connector of the N1540-RT and N1540-RT-24V models. The user can set the retransmission signal between the options 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA.
It is recommended to use RC FILTERS (noise suppressors) in contactor coils, solenoids, etc. • In control applications, it is essential to consider what can happen when any part of the system fails. The internal devices of the equipment do • not guarantee full protection. NOVUS AUTOMATION 8/22...
Each parameter is shown on the display alternately with its value or condition. According to the protection configuration adopted, the PASS parameter is displayed as the first parameter of the cycle where protection starts. See CONFIGURATION PROTECTION chapter. NOVUS AUTOMATION 9/22...
Allows you to set the PV retransmission mode: Retr It determines the retransmission in 0-20 mA. Retransmission 0-20 It determines the retransmission in 4-20 mA. 4-20 This parameter will be displayed when PV retransmission is available on the digital panel meter. NOVUS AUTOMATION 10/22...
