Introduction

The limit of an analog MP can be, dependent of the value of another MP, modified dynamically
The dynamisation of limits is done by allocating Limit Groups to the status information of an analog MP.

The list is used on generating the SPU-Database only.

The Limit 1 of MP “ABC” should be dynamized in dependency to the value of MP “XYZ”.

• Assign status to the MP “ABC”.
• Assign Limit and DynLimitGroup via the entry fields: “Limit” – “Dynamic limitgroup” for Status 2 of the MP.
• In the DynamicLimitGroup: Set the entry field “Ana.Measuring Point” to “XYZ” and input the wanted scale group in field “Scalegroup”.

On a change of the value of MP “XYZ” the ScaleGroup is used to define the limit new. Afterwards it is checked that it is within the range and whether Limit1 > Limit2.
- If ok, the limit within the status definition is overwritten. => Limit1 of "ABC" is dynamized
- If not, the limit within the status definition is kept.

• Dynamic Limits are combined in DynLimit-Lists.
• DynLimit-Lists got the extension ".dyl.xml"

• Create DynLimit-Lists.
  
  
• Create DynamicLimits within DynLimit-Lists.
• Modify DynamicLimits within DynLimit-Lists.
• Delete DynamicLimits within DynLimit-Lists.

Create DynLimitLists

Recommendation:
Create a subfolder called "DynLimitLists" in the Project folder.

In the pull down menu ‘File’ of the toolbar - select "new".
In the opened window select the item “DynLimit-Lists”.
Input the wanted name in the ‘Name’ –field and the wanted location below.

Finish with OK.



Information about entries in the fields you will find down below under the headline ‘properties’.

Delete/ Modify/ Create/ DynamicLimits

Open the wanted DynLimitLists via double-click.

• In the center window the DynLimits of the DynLimitLists are shown.
• The right window shows the properties of the DynLimit-List itself.

In the toolbar are the actions ‘apply’, ‘reset’ and ‘new Object’ operable.

Select the wanted DynLimit in the center window.

• The right window shows the definitions for that DynLimit.
• The 'delete' symbol in the toolbar becomes operable.

Click the 'delete' symbol in the toolbar.

• In the center window the entry is deleted.
• The right window is empty.

If on closing the file the modification is confirmed, the deletion is final.

Select the wanted DynLimit in the center window.

• The right window shows the definitions for that DynLimit.

In the right window you may modify the definitions.

• The field name of a modified field is marked with an asterisk.
• If the symbol ‘Apply’ is clicked the asterisk disappears.

If on closing the file the modification is confirmed, the change is final.

Information about entries in the fields you will find down below under the headline ‘properties’.

Select ‘New Object’ in the toolbar.
A DynLimit is created.

• The system places the default name Dynamic LimitN (N stands for the running number)

If on closing the file the modification is confirmed, the newly created Dynamic Limit is saved.

Information about entries in the fields you will find below under the headline ‘properties’.
