Section 6.7.1 Channel Settings
The channel settings define the monitoring type of the channel and the parameters associated with the
channel type. The Die Protection screen is shown in Figure 6.22. The screen displays channel type,
description, status, and sensor state for eight channels. Additional information specific for one channel,
channel 5 in Figure 6.22, is displayed in the bottom section of the screen. The additional information
includes the channel type, stop type, bypassed state, and other information specific to the channel type.
The information on the Die Protection screen is view only information. Channel setting cannot be
changed on this screen.
In order to change channel settings, the CHANNEL SETTINGS softkey must be selected. The Die
Protection Settings screen will be displayed. This screen is shown in Figure 6.23.
The channel settings can by changed by a user who has gained access control. See Section 3.9 for
information concerning access control. There are several items that can be programmed on this screen.
The item list changes depending on the type of channel logic that is selected. In Figure 6.24 a Cyclic
channel type is selected. The remaining items are all associated with Cyclic type inputs. In addition, the
help screens are specific for logic type and for the highlighted parameter. The following sections
contain a description of all possible items that may appear on the Die Protection Setting screen. Some
of these items will not appear on all screens, because they do not apply to the selected channel type.
