A-B SuperBridge Technical Reference
24
Note 3: See Setpoint (page 24).
Note 4: An error in the 20.00.HP.O, A and B applications makes it impossible for
SuperBridge to detect the fact that the controller is taken out of “Comm Setpoint
Mode”.
Note 5: Some scaling problems exist for some registers. If bit 6 or 7 in the register
property word is set, unpredictable results can occur. See Useful Registers, page
29.
PROCESS VALUE
The process value is, with the following exceptions, the feedrate, as displayed in the root node or
main screen of the controller. The exceptions are:
11.00.HP Current Gross Weight, with high resolution.
35.00.HP Actual Batch Total for last batch weighed out.
SETPOINT
The setpoint value is, with the following exceptions, used as the feedrate setpoint, when the
controller is in “Comm Setpoint” or “Remote Serial” mode. The exceptions are:
10.00.HP The setpoint value is transferred to the High Feedrate alarm limit.
11.00.HP The setpoint value is transferred to the weight value for limit switch number 3.
35.00.HP The setpoint value is used as the batch setpoint when the controller is in “Comm
Setpoint” mode.
Secondary setpoints, normally used for MCs that has a feedrate and a batch setpoint, are used
for the batch setpoint. The batch setpoint mode has to be “Remote Serial”. Currently, secondary
setpoint is only supported by MC³ 24.96.EX.D and 30.20.EX.Beta.
GENERAL ALARMS AND WARNINGS
The General Alarm bits are mapped out according to the following table. Detailed information
about the meaning of the alarms is available in the operations manual for the controllers.
Warnings mapped in all MC³ models except 24.96.EX depend on which inputs or outputs are
qualified for warning. The bit order can be found by displaying the warning screen in the
controller, when it has been configured
