Configuring variables
CNT-SVP01C-EN 31
9. Verify the open and close values and the open and close outputs, and
type new values in the Close and Open Output and Value fields if nec-
essary.
The output values are the hardware output voltage or current corre-
sponding to the open and closed states of the wired device. The analog
output calibration is determined by these four parameters.
10. Click to select the Secondary Control (E-P) check box if a secondary
control device is used and type the open and close values and outputs
for the secondary control device.
11. Complete one of the following options:
• Click another output name in the Name list to edit another out-
put.
• Click another tab to set up another item.
• Click the Download button to send your changes to the Tracer
MP580/581. (If the Security Logon dialog box appears, log on.)
Click Close to close the Configuration dialog box.
Configuring variables
Variables may be changed using a variety of methods. Variables can be
communicated from the Tracer Summit system and changed using the
Rover service tool. Variables may also be calculated in a program, or they
may be made adjustable through the operator display. The Tracer MP580/
581 accommodates 150 binary variables and 150 analog variables.
Configuring binary variables
Tracer Summit binary variables 1 through 30 are reserved for use with
the Tracer Summit system. Use local binary variables 1 through 120 as
local variables. You can edit the Tracer Summit variables or the local
variables. For each binary variable, specify a name, control source, off and
on descriptors, and a communications loss value or initial value.
To set up a binary variable:
1. In the Active Device View, click the BVs tab. The status information
for the binary variables appears.
2. Click the Configuration button. The Configuration dialog box appears
with the BVs tab displayed.
3. Click the Tracer Summit Binary Variables option or the Local Binary
Variables option to view the type of variable you want to edit
(Figure 24 on page 32).
