Stop alarm processing in loop control
Stop alarm (SPA) overview
When an error related to the loop tag data such as a sensor error (SEA) occurs, the control mode can be changed to
MANUAL forcibly by switching the stop alarm (SPA) from FALSE to TRUE.
Switch the stop alarm (SPA) from FALSE to TRUE using a user program as necessary.
When the stop alarm (SPA) is switched to TRUE, alarms which have occurred (MLA, MHA, DVLA, DPPA, PLA, PHA, LLA,
HHA, SEA, and DMLA) will be automatically reset (TRUE FALSE).
