Program Line Time Periods
Program lines for relay and LED channels can contain a
programmable time period term. This term is Pn, where n is a
number from 1 through 8 which specifies one of the eight available
time periods.
A time period is programmed using the format "FROM: hh:mm:ss
TO: hh:mm:ss". The "FROM" time does not necessarily have to be
less than or before the "TO" time. As an example, if time period 1
"FROM" time is set to 08:00:00 and the "TO" time is set to 07:00:00,
then the control program term P1 will be true 23 hours a day. It
will be false between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning.
Time periods are programmed using the command SET PERIOD.
Common Channel Attributes
When configuring the system, channels should be configured first
because other configurable features of the system reference these
channels. Each channel configuration contains common attributes
as described below.
Note: The "On and Off Delays" are not configurable for MCA Interface
channels. The Operation section in the User Instructions
(Section 5847) lists the MCA Interface channels. Section 5847
can be accessed via the CD (Electronic Documentation
Package) furnished with your system.
Note: The "Channel Name" and "On and Off Delays" are not
configurable for LMS1000 self diagnostics binary channels
B0081 – B0096.
a. Channel Active (Y or N): Prevents unused (spare)
channels from appearing in alarm reports, scan reports,
etc. It is recommended that all unused channels are set
to be NOT active.
b. Channel Name (30 characters maximum): This is a user
determined description of the channel. Consideration
should be made in naming a channel. Information
displayed can be limited by entering part of a channel(s)
name after certain commands. Refer to "Operating
LMS1000" in the User Instructions (Section 5847) for
details. Section 5847 can be accessed via the CD
(Electronic Documentation Package) furnished with your
system.
c. System Alarm Reporting (Y or N): This directs the system
whether or not to initiate a System Alarm Report if an
alarm occurs on this channel. System Alarm Reporting is
described later in this section.
d. On Delay Time (0-9999) (s for seconds, m for minutes, h
for hours): Defines the amount of time that an alarm
condition must exist before the system recognizes it as
an alarm condition. An alarm condition for an analog,
binary, and function channel is defined as when any
alarm limit is exceeded. An alarm condition for a relay or
LED channel is defined as when a preprogrammed
condition occurs which causes the relay to energize and
the LED to illuminate.
Enter a valid value (0-9999) then the modifier (s for
seconds, m for minutes, h for hours). If no modifier
entered, modifier defaults to seconds.
e. Off Delay Time (0-9999) (s for seconds, m for minutes, h
for hours): Defines the amount of time that an alarm
condition must cease before the system recognizes that
the alarm condition ceased. Refer to "On Delay Time"
above for a description of "alarm condition".
Enter a valid value (0-9999) then the modifier (s for
seconds, m for minutes, h for hours). If no modifier
entered, modifier defaults to seconds.
In addition to the common channel attributes, each channel has
other attributes specific to them as described below.
Analog Channel Attributes
Each analog channel can be configured for the following additional
items.
Note: Only "Channel Active", "Channel Name", "Sub-Access Identifier",
"System Alarm Reporting", "Monitor Type", and "Monitor Value
Format" are configurable for MCA Interface channels. The
Operation section in the User Instructions (Section 5847) lists
the MCA Interface channels. Section 5847 can be accessed via
the CD (Electronic Documentation Package) furnished with
your system.
a. Sub-Access Identifier (20 characters maximum): This
parameter applies only to TL1 commands/messages. The
Sub-Access Identifier identifies a specific sub-entity
within an NMA system, such as a specific rectifier. Only
alpha-numeric characters can be entered for this
parameter. TL1 uses specific values for this parameter.
Refer to TA-NWT-001360, Table 4-1.
b. Transducer Type (Shunt, Current, Voltage, Temp, or
None): Specifies the type of signal connected to the
input associated to this channel.
If "Shunt" is selected, the following attribute is
presented...
Shunt type (50mv or 100mv): Specifies the shunt size
connected to the input associated to this channel.
If "Current" is selected, the following attribute is
presented...
