Setpoints Setup Screen
Up to 192 setpoints may be configured in the system by the Centurion Configuration Tool software. The values
for the setpoints are user editable.
Setpoints are data entries used in greater than or less than comparisons of signals based on variable input types
such as MPU, analog or thermocouples. The setpoint is a threshold, exception or any other out-of-limit event that
can be configured to take a required action. Multiple setpoints are often applied to a process, and they may be
configured as often as needed to meet changing conditions.
Common alarm and shutdown setpoints a user might have configured include:
High shutdown (High-High)
High warning (High)
Low warning (Low)
Low shutdown (Low-Low)
To edit a configured setpoint:
a) Select the setpoint group submenu that requires editing.
The configuration listing provided will include a listing of all
setpoints and their respective number.
b) Assign numeric threshold that if crossed, triggers the
setpoint.
b) Adjust the sign of the threshold value as plus (+) or
minus (-) by moving the cursor to the sign symbol position
and use the up and down keys to toggle the sign.
NOTE:
Setpoints 1-16 and 17-32 can also have
debounce timing applied as a signal filter. The
setpoint comparison must be sustained through this
time delay to see the setpoint as true. This time
filter can be used to ignore transients of short
duration.
