9.4 Limit Menus
9.4.1 Overview
There are zero, two or three Limit menus depending on how many Limits were
purchased with the instrument. These menus determine the operation of each of
the limits.
Detailed instructions on operating the instrument in the SETUP Menu mode can
be found in “SETUP Menu mode” on page 23. A diagram of all menus is located
in “Setup Menu Reference” on page 133.
9.4.2
LIMIT.ENABLE
Menu
Item
This enables or disables the operation of this limit. The two options for this menu
item are “
ON
” and “
OFF
”.
9.4.3
LIMIT.SETPOINT
Menu Item
This is the numeric value in engineering units for the signal level that activates the
limit.
9.4.4
LIMIT.RETURN PNT
Menu Item
This is the numeric value at which the limit deactivates. In general, this number
should differ from the set point values by at least 1% of full scale.
Carefully consider what value should be entered for the
RETURN POINT
. If the
signal is expected to approach the
SET POINT
from a lower value, the
RETURN
POINT
value should be less (algebraically) than the
SET POINT
. If the signal is
expected to approach the
SET POINT
from a higher level, the
RETURN POINT
should be higher (algebraically) than the
SET POINT
.
9.4.5
LIMIT.ENERGIZE
Menu Item
This specifies when to activate the limit relative to the set point and return point.
The options for this menu item are:
•
“
SIGNAL > SETPOINT
” means the limit will activate when the signal is higher than
the set point.
•
“
SIGNAL < SETPOINT
” means the limit will activate when the signal is lower than
the set point.
•
“
SIGNAL INSIDE
” means the limit will activate when the signal is in between the
set point and the return point.
•
“
SIGNAL OUTSIDE
” means the limit will activate when the signal is not in between
the set point and the return point.
The figures below further illustrate the differences between these settings.
