Pyrometer Analog Watchdog:
If the Pyrometer Analog Watchdog is activated (Option 4),
the Industrial Mux will watch for missed readings from the pyrometer, an indication that
the pyrometer has failed in some way. If missed readings occur, the analog output will be
forced to the Analog Safe Value and, if programmed to do so, energize one of the relays.
When the Pyrometer Analog Watchdog (Item 4 in Figure 6-1) is enabled, then item “5.
Pyrometer Watchdog Actions” should be configured. This offering has a self-explanatory
submenu for setting the watchdog alarm configuration.
Force Analog Output:
Temporarily forces all analog output channels to a user configured
value (0-20mA) for testing purposes.
Analog Safe Value:
This is the milliamp output that the analog outputs should go to if
there is a failure with one of the pyrometers
