8.10 Configuring events
An event occurs if the real-time value of a user-specfied process variable varies
beyond a user-specified value. Events are used to perform specific actions on the
applications platform. For example, the event can be defined to activate a discrete
output if the flow rate is above a specified value. The discrete output, then, may be
configured to close a valve.
You can define one or two events. You may define the events on a single process
variable or on two different process variables. Each event is associated with either a
high or a low alarm.
Configuring an event includes the following steps:
1. Selecting event 1 or event 2.
2. Assigning a process variable to the event.
3. Specifying an alarm type:
• Active high – alarm is triggered if process variable goes above setpoint
• Active low – alarm is triggered if process variable goes below setpoint
4. Specifying the setpoint – the value at which the event will occur or switch state (ON to OFF, or
vice versa).
Note: Events do not occur if the process variable equals the setpoint. The process variable must be
greater than (Active high) or less than (Active low) the setpoint for the event to occur.
8.10.1 Reporting event status
There are several ways that event status can be reported:
• If your transmitter has a discrete output, the discrete output can be configured to switch states
according to event status (see Section 6.7).
• The display shows Alarm 108 (Event 1 On) or Alarm 109 (Event 2 On).
• Event status can be queried using digital communications:
- ProLink II automatically displays event information on the
Informational panel of the
Status window.
- The Communicator reports Alarm 108 (Event 1 On) or Alarm 109 (Event 2 On), and also
shows event status in
Process Variables/View Status.
8.11 Configuring slug flow limits and duration
Slugs—gas in a liquid process or liquid in a gas process—occasionally appear in
some applications. The presence of slugs can significantly affect the process density
reading. The slug flow parameters can help the transmitter suppress extreme
changes in process variables, and can also be used to identify process conditions that
require correction.
