A8.2.3  Operating Parameters
  DIAG_MODE
DIAG_MODE gives the directive for the ILBD 
operation. There are following three modes.
DIAG MODE
Code Mode Function
0 Stop The blockage detection operation 
is stopped.
1 Calculation The blockage detection operation 
is performed.
Alarms are generated along with 
the result.
2 Reference Reference values for the 
blockage detection are obtained 
and updated to the latest. After 
sampling reference values, this 
mode changes to "Calculation".
When the blockage detection operation is 
performed, set “Calculation” to DIAG_MODE. 
“Stop” must be set when you change a threshold 
value or set an alarm.
“Reference” is set in order to obtain the reference 
uctuation values under the normal conguration.
  DIAG_PERIOD
The values such as RATIO_FDP and BLKF are 
averaged based on several hundreds of pressure 
uctuation values in constant time. DIAG_PERIOD 
denes the sampling time. The default value at the 
shipment is set to 180 seconds.
For the information on how to change the sampling 
period, refer to A8.2.10.
  DIAG_COUNT
When the value as RATIO_FDP or BLKF exceeds 
the threshold value for several times in a row, it is 
estimated that the impulse line is plugged. DIAG_
COUNT denes the number of times to estimate 
blockage detection.
If DIAG_COUNT is set to three times, an alarm is 
not generated at part ‘A’ in Figure A8.3. The reason 
is that only the rst and second values exceeded 
consecutively the threshold.
When the value exceeds consecutively the 
threshold value three times, an alarm is generated 
(see part ‘B’ in Figure A8.3).

Figure A8.3  Relationship of DIAG_COUNT and 
Alarm
The number of detection to give an alarm is set for 
each blockage detection function. The default value 
at the shipment is set to three times.
If uctuating around the threshold value, an alarm 
may be often generated. In this case, change the 
threshold value (DIAG_LIM) or the sampling time 
(DIAG_PERIOD) to enhance the accuracy of the 
blockage detection. Refer to A8.2.10.
