® Chapter 3 Modifying the exhaust fan program Using a Constant block for a deadband value Becauseweaddedavariableblocktoserveasthesetpoint,wedonot need the constant block for this purpose. However, the sequence of operation does call for a 5.0°F deadband. Use the Constant block for the 5.0 value. To use a Constant block for a deadband value: 1. Change the 85.0 constant block value to 5.0. 2. Modify the associated comment to read “(°F).” Connecting blocks to a Deadband block 1. Connect the Equip Rm Space Temp input block to the Input port of the Deadband block. 2. Connect the Equip Rm Temp Setpoint variable block to the Setpoint port of the Deadband block. 3. Connect the 5.0 constant block to the Deadband port of the Deadband block. 4. Connect the output port of the Deadband block to the Equip Rm Fan On/Off output block.(Figure 37).

® Adding alarm indication To add an alarm variable: 1. Add another Variable block to the design space above the Equip Rm Fan On/Off output block. 2. Set the variable to the binary variable, Equip Rm Alarm, which is sourced from the program. 3. Set the block to write to the Equip Rm Alarm variable (Figure 38). Figure 38: Equip Rm Alarm binary variable in the design space Binary variable block Implementing a test for sensor failure UseaFailblocktochecktheEquipRmSpaceTempinputandsendinformation to the Equip Rm Alarm variable. When the temperature input fails, the output of the Fail block is true, and the binary variable, Equip Rm Alarm, indicates the failure by turning on. For the Fail block to detect properly an input failure, it must be applied to analog inputs configured as thermistor, Balco, Platinum, current, voltage, or resistance. The Fail at End of Range option must also be selected for the input in the Configuration dialog box. To implement a test for sensor failure: 1. From the Blocks menu, choose Test. From the Test menu, choose Fail. 2. Click in the design space to add a Fail block above the Deadband block. 3. Connect the wire leaving the Equip Rm Space Temp input block to the input port of the Fail block. Note: You can draw more than one connection from an output port. 4. Connect the output port of the Fail block to the input port of the Equip Rm Alarm variable block (Figure 39 on page 38). CNT-APG001-EN 37

Using a Constant block for a deadband value<br />

Becauseweaddedavariableblocktoserveasthesetpoint,wedonot<br />

need the constant block for this purpose. However, the sequence of operation<br />

does call for a 5.0°F deadband. Use the Constant block for the 5.0<br />

value.<br />

To use a Constant block for a deadband value:<br />

1. Change the 85.0 constant block value to 5.0.<br />

2. Modify the associated comment to read “(°F).”<br />

Connecting blocks to a Deadband block<br />

1. Connect the Equip Rm Space Temp input block to the Input port of<br />

the Deadband block.<br />

2. Connect the Equip Rm Temp Setpoint variable block to the Setpoint<br />

port of the Deadband block.<br />

3. Connect the 5.0 constant block to the Deadband port of the Deadband<br />

block.<br />

4. Connect the output port of the Deadband block to the Equip Rm Fan<br />

On/Off output block.(Figure 37).<br />

Adding alarm indication<br />

The program meets all specifications of the sequence of operation with<br />

one exception: If the Equip Rm Space Temp input fails, turn the fan on<br />

and indicate an alarm condition.<br />

Adding an alarm variable<br />

The configured, binary variable, Equip Rm Alarm, serves as the alarm<br />

indicator.<br />

Note:<br />

Variables that indicate status, such as the Equip Rm Alarm<br />

variable, may be added to custom displays so that they appear<br />

on the operator display. See the <strong>Tracer</strong> MP580/581 Programmable<br />

Controller <strong>Programming</strong> guide (CNT-SVP01A-EN) for<br />

more information about custom displays.<br />
