Using Time Triggers
If you want the setpoint actions to be synchronized with the clock, for example, to provide recording interval data, use the minute
time interval trigger that generates periodic events synchronized with the device clock.
Delaying Setpoint Operations
Two optional delays can be added to each setpoint to extend monitoring a setpoint trigger for a longer time before making a
decision on whether the expected event occurred or not. When a delay is specified, the logical controller will change the setpoint
status only if all conditions are asserted for a period at least as long as the delay time.
Using Setpoint Events
When a setpoint status changes, i.e., a setpoint event is either asserted or de-asserted, the following happens in your device:
1. The new setpoint status is logged to the setpoint status register that can be monitored via communications from the user
application software in order to give a real-time indication on the expected event.
2. The operated setpoint status is latched to the setpoint alarm register accessible through communications. The register
holds the last setpoint alarm status until it is explicitly cleared via communications.
Recording Setpoint Events
Time-tagged setpoint events can be recorded to the submeter event log if you select it as the setpoint action. The Event recorder
logs any setpoint transition event: both when the setpoint is operated, and when it is released.
