COMMON FEATURES FOR CHARACTER BASED OPERATOR TERMINALS PROGRAMMABILITY ALARMS The Paradigm unit can monitor and log from 100 to 500 alarms, depending Event Driven Configuration Tool on model. Such triggers as a simple bit level transition, a PLC coil activation, Edict 97, an extremely powerful Windows 95/3.11 based software program, or a complex application algorithm can activate an alarm. The alarms can be provides for the intuitive configuration of every aspect of the operator time and date stamped, with an automatic screen display and/or downloading to interface’s behavior. The requirement for time consuming PLC ladder logic is a printer for hard copy recording purposes. drastically reduced by the unique event driven approach of EDICT 97. The capability of this program, in conjunction with the PLC and the Paradigm operator interface unit, ensures a great deal of advanced functionality for your REAL TIME SCHEDULE system. This powerful PLC/Paradigm system provides many of the capabilities Real time schedule allows for repetitive or one time task to take place in the and features normally associated with the more complicated and costly system.

In conjunction with the recipe capabilities, a downloading of a available as alarms, recipes, triggers, and reports, for the run time software. special recipe can be requested by the real time schedule feature. After completion of the programming, the program is directly downloaded to the operator interface from your PC, without any compiling or saving USER PROGRAMS requirement. When you require a change in your program, EDICT 97 loads only This feature offers the user the ability to incorporate custom application the change, not the entire program, saving valuable on-line time. requirements via a powerful program language.

BATTERY BACKUP ISSUES The Operator Interface is supplied with a Lithium Battery designed to maintain the internal memory and real-time clock during power outages. Assuming the operator interface terminal is powered up for 50% of the time, this battery should last over 4 years. A “Battery Low” system variable is available so that the programmer can choose specific action(s) to occur when the battery voltage drops below its nominal voltage. It is possible to replace the battery without losing the contents of the Operator Interface’s memory, but this does not reduce the importance of ensuring that a copy of the terminal’s configuration is kept readily at hand to allow the terminal The above table denotes the pin names of the programming port.
