If multiple instruments need a ground reference the four positions of TB2 can serve as those ground points (assuming the JP17-JP20) jumpers are intact. If more than four grounding screws are needed then a custom wire from TB2 to a separate terminal block can allow for more grounding screw positions.
Introduction
An alarm is an indication that an event that you have configured (for example—Process Variable) has
exceeded one or more alarm limits. There are six alarms available, each with two setpoints. You can
configure each of these two setpoints to alarm on various controller parameters. There are two alarm output
selections, high and low. You can configure each setpoint to alarm either high or low. These are called
single alarms. You can also configure the two setpoints to alarm on the same event and to alarm both high
and low. An adjustable hysteresis of 0.0% to 100.0% is configurable for each alarm setpoint.
Priority of functions that operate relays
During alarm conditions an alarm will deenergize its associated relay unless a higher priority function has
been configured for that relay. See Table 3-11. If you want the alarm to control the relay, do not configure
a higher priority function.
