Set Up Maximum RPM and Pressure Alarms, and Time Delays
The QDC module continuously monitors screw RPM, ram (screw)
pressure, and cavity pressure inputs. When it detects that the process input
equals or exceeds a preset alarm setpoint, the QDC module sets an alarm
bit. A setpoint of zero disables the associated alarm.
To guard against nuisance alarms caused by noise spikes or pressure
transients , you can set a time delay so the QDC module must monitor
continuous excessive pressure or RPM for an amount of time before setting
the high alarm. A setpoint of zero disables this delay.
Configure the QDC module for pressure and RPM alarms as follows:
1. Determine these values for ram (screw) and/ or cavity pressure
alarms:
pressure-alarm setpoint
time-delay setpoint
2. Determine these values for screw RPM alarms:
RPM-alarm setpoint
time-delay setpoint
3. Record non-zero setpoints on Worksheet 3-G for the pressure alarms,
RPM alarm, and time delays you want to use.
4. Download them to the QDC module using the procedures presented
earlier in this chapter:
