trigger an alarm. The enable of the limit monitoring is indicated at the
“QLIM_LLA_Enable” output, the triggering of the alarm is displayed at the
“QALARM_LL” output. The “LIM_LLA” limit is mirrored to the “QLIM_LLA”

output irrespective of “LIM_LLA_Enable”.
“LIM_LLA_Enable” = 0 è limit monitoring inactive
“LIM_LLA_Enable” = 1 è limit monitoring active
· “LIM_HYS” and “LIM_HYS_Set”
The “LIM_HYS” value supplies the limit for deactivating a limit monitoring
message with a hysteresis. Depending on the “LIM_HYS_Set” parameter, the
value can be specified as an absolute value or as a percentage value.
“LIM_HYS_Set” = 0 è “LIM_HYS” interpreted as a percentage value
“LIM_HYS_Set” = 1è “LIM_HYS” interpreted as an absolute value
“LIM_HYS” interpreted as a percentage value depends on the range of values
defined by the “HI_LIM” and “LO_LIM” parameters and is converted
accordingly.
The value of the hysteresis is mirrored to the “QLIM_HYS” output and
influences the deactivation of the triggered limit monitoring messages:
– Messages relating to an exceeded limit: these messages are deactivated
only after the limit minus the hysteresis has been reached.
– Messages indicating that the value has fallen below a limit: these
messages are deactivated only after the limit plus the hysteresis has been
reached.

3.3.6 Enabling/disabling the simulation
The “Simulation ON” mode enables the simulation of the analog signal. This
function is important, for example, if automatic functions shall be tested already
during the configuration phase, although a process interface does not yet exist.
Without simulating the feedbacks, many automatic functions (e.g., step sequences)
cannot be successfully executed since the feedbacks are frequently requested in
step enabling conditions or cause errors.

3.3.7 Resetting error
The following situations cause the block to go to the “Error” state and the “QOUT”
output to take on the value of the “LO_LIM” lower limit:
· Interlock (“LOCK” = 1)
· External error (“ERR_EXT” = 1)
· Wire break (“QERR_WIRE” = 1)
The following situation causes the block to go to the “Error” state and the “QOUT”
output to take on the value of the “HI_LIM” upper limit:
· Overrun (“QERR_OVERRUN” = 1)
If there is an error at the block (QERR = 1), it can be reset using the “L_RESET”
input or by the “OPdwCmd” operator. This error status can only be reset if there are
no other errors pending.
