Two Out Of Three Voting

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.
  1. 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.
  2. The 4 to 20mA output follow the value in Mem4 (-20 to +80 degC).
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
