3. If the analog output is being used to control the position of a cooling valve or SCR power controller of a heater bank for example it is important that the analog output supply only the signal for the proper heating or cooling range in order to properly control the amount of cooling or heating applied to a process nCompass provides the ability to supply only the heating output cooling output or a combination of heating and cooling outputs from its analog outputs For example if an FDC 300 series control is used setting an Out Min to Out Max range of 0 to 100 will result in an analog output of 0 10Vdc or 4 20mA for an output of 0 to 100 heating If a different model of controller is used that represents heating as 50 to 100 with cooling from 50 to 0 setting an Out Min to Out Max range of 50 to 100 will result in an analog output of 0 10Vdc or 4 20mA for an output of 0 to 100 of the heat output In order to retransmit a cooling percentage of output nNCompass allows the analog output range to be inverted relative to the value representing the cooling percentage of output This allows the positoner of a cooling valve for example to receive a 0 10Vdc or 4 20mA signal representing 0 full closed to 100 full open of cooling even if the cooling percentage represented by the controller is 50 no cooling output to 0 full cooling output For example if 0 to 100 represents no cooling to full cooling setting

15. nCompass provides this ability but there are considerations that must be taken by the end user to protect their equipment and investment Just like placing a personal computer on the internet opens it up to outside attack placing your nCompass on a network poses the same risk The first thing to remember is this The most likely cause of problems is not a hacker trying to sabotage your equipment but more often to be related to the ubiquity of PCs with Ethernet cards the ease with which your own co workers can hang stuff on the network and careless or nonexistent internal security measures Accidental problems are more common than deliberate ones Allowing anyone access to nCompass by placing it on the office LAN also opens the door for accidental shutdown damage to equipment loss of data lost time etc This is possible even by the most well intentioned co workers Thus there are several steps that should be taken to minimize this risk The first is to never mix your office LAN with your control LAN The control LAN should be a separate network that consists of your nCompass controller s and possibly any other equipment that you may have that is related to the operation of the system It should be separated from your office LAN by a firewall or at minimum a bridge or router A control network and a business network have two entirely different purposes and their interaction should be closely controlled It is also unwise to assume

If the alarm start delay is enabled the start delay time can be used to set the maximum length of time the alarm can be inhibited For example if a process is started and the start delay is enabled what happens if the process never reaches its normal operating mode The process will operate indefinitely in an alarm condition unless an operator notices it because the alarm will not activate since it never entered the normal range By setting the start delay the alarm inhibit will be disabled once this time period is exceeded from the start up of the system The allowable time setting is from 0 32 760 seconds A value of zero 0 disables the alarm start delay timer so inhibit will be on indefinitely until the alarm input reaches normal operating range The Alarm Message is the text notification that appears on the Alarm screen when the alarm activates This message can be edited up to 25 characters maximum so that the alarm message more accurately describes what the alarm means 8 3 1 1 Rate of Change ROC Alarm Set Point When rate of change ROC is selected as the alarm type increasing decreasing or both the alarm set point is defined by an amount of change in the process value over a period of time in minutes Alann Settings Se Delta C 0 0 Time minute oi Differential C 0 0 Delay seconds 0 Start Delay seconds 0 Alarm Message ALMA 1 The Delta set point defines the allowable change of the selected l
