Process Alarms
When a process alarm occurs, the controller switches to the
single-loop display for the loop with the alarm and displays
the alarm code (see Alarm Displays on page 81).
Possible Causes of a Process Alarm
In a heating application, a low alarm or low deviation alarm
may indicate one of the following:
The heater has not had time to raise the temperature.
The load has increased and the temperature has fallen.
The control mode is set to manual instead of automatic.
The heaters are not working because of a hardware fail-
ure.
The sensor is not placed correctly and is not measuring
the load’s temperature.
The alarm settings are too tight. The process variable var-
ies by more than the alarm limits because of load chang-
es, lag or other system conditions.
The system is so poorly tuned that the temperature is cy-
cling about set point by more than the alarm set point.
NOTE! In cooling applications, similar issues cause
high alarms.
In a heating application, a high alarm or high deviation alarm
may indicate one of the following:
The process set point and high alarm set point have been
lowered and the system has not had time to cool to within
the new alarm setting.
The controller is in manual mode and the heat output is
greater than 0 percent.
The load has decreased such that the temperature has ris-
en.
The heater is full-on because of a hardware failure.
The system is so poorly tuned that the temperature is cy-
cling about set point by more than the alarm set point.
NOTE! In cooling applications, similar issues cause
low alarms.
