Watlow Series 986-989
Uses Commanders Watlow 988 Modbus Table.
Watlow provides a Low and a High Alarm for each Alarm. The Modbus address 3 contains the status for both alarms. Due to this arrangement Commander can be set up to either signal the High or the Low Alarm condition for each alarm output. It cannot annunciate both. An alternative setup allows you to assign one of Commanders alarms to annunciate any alarm condition within the control.
Below is a description of the various options and instructions for changing the settings:
From the Main Screen Menus:
Click Setup
Click Edit Modbus Tables
Select the Watlow 988 Table
Enter a value of “Decimal Places” for Alarm 1 Status and/or Alarm2 Status as below:
17 to annunciate both High & Low Alarms
13 to annunciate only High Alarms
14 to annunciate only Low Alarms
Commander has no provisions to signal open thermocouple conditions with this model.
