Two Out Of Three Voting
UAP1066 - USC Application
The USC701
takes three measurement inputs from the same process. The
third channel is via pulse input 1 as 0 to 1khz representing the 4-20mA
input using an APC253.
- The program selects the two closest readings of the three inputs
(-20 to +80 degC), averages these values, and saves the answer in memory
4 (Mem4). See the flow chart below.
- The 4 to 20mA output follow the value in Mem4 (-20 to +80 degC).
- Both relays 1 and 2 will switch on if:
- If the two selected readings deviate more than 1 deg C (Con_a 'Dev').
- If Mem4 is below an alarm value -10 deg C (Con_b 'Alarm').
- The relays have zero dead-band but have a 10 second on delay (fail
condition must occur continuously for 10 seconds) and a 5 second off
delay (after the fail condition the good condition must occur continuously
for 5 seconds).
- The ACCESS module trim menu adjusts:
- Relay on delay (0 to 2300 seconds).
- Relay off delay (0 to 2300 seconds).
Note the time delays for relay 1 and relay 2 are set independently.
- The 'Dev' level, this is the maximum allowed variation between
the two closest temperatures.
- The 'Alarm' level, this is compared to the average of the two
closest temperatures to produce an alarm.
