-
To view more detailed information on the current state of a pump.
-
To Run or Stop the pump.
-
To set the Logic Mode of the pump, which affects how the pump is used in the Line Blockage application.
To access the Pump Control dialog
-
Select a row header from the Pump Summary window.
The Pump Control dialog will appear and will display data corresponding to the row that was clicked.

The following table lists the items on the Pump Control dialog.

The current state of the object. By default, the pump application uses the following names; however, they are defined by the message set on the pump record:
|
|
Blockage |
A red label that appears only if the Line Blockage application detects that the pump flow is blocked in at least one direction (by lack of available flow paths, or line capacity). |
|
PLC State |
This field indicates the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) state of the pump. |
|
Last Krunch |

|
Logic Mode |
The Logic Mode of the pump. This affects how the object is understood and used by the Line Blockage/Flow Network application. It is changed by selecting an option from the dropdown menu and pressing the Set button. An optional timeout can be configured in the Advanced Database Editor (ADE) for this so that when it is changed to a non-default value, after some time has elapsed, the device will revert to the default logic mode. There are four possible states:
|
|
Run |
Selecting this button will send a command to the pump state to change the RUN state for the pump. This depends on the pump being In Service or Out of Logic (OOL) and the underlying status or multistate record's Has Output checkbox value being configured to true. |
|
Stop |
Clicking this button will send a command to the pump state to change the STOP state for the pump. This depends on the pump being In Service or Out of Logic (OOL) and the underlying status or multistate record's Has Output checkbox value being configured to true. |
|
Event Summary |
This is a list of all events associated with the pump and underlying status or multistate point. If the status or multistate record is not configured, this is a list of all events associated with the pump point. |
|
Point Alarm Summary |
This is a list of all current alarms associated with the underlying status or multistate point. If the status or multistate record is not configured, this is a list of all alarms associated with the pump point. |
