Simple application and clear user interfaces
PAL offers ready-to-use blocks with clearly designed faceplates. Modern scalable vector graphic symbols (SVGs) ensure a high-resolution, scalable display and intuitive operability.
Integrated system functionality
Extensive system functions are available directly at the measuring point (TAG), including
Shift logbook with note function
Trend display
Alarm reports
Exclusive operator functions
Selective access blocking:
The operator can specifically block access to individual measuring points.
Control computer dependency:
The access locking can be linked to a specific control computer.
Service and maintenance functions
Service and maintenance functions are integrated directly in the blocks. No additional configuration work is required.
Flexible operating philosophy
The operating philosophy can be set individually via parameters or wiring – with or without confirmation.
Comprehensive signal monitoring
Each PAL block monitors the full signal status, including configuration errors, software errors, I/O module errors, open circuit
Priority commands and interlocks
Priority commands:
"Command Priority" and "Command Priority Manual" enable prioritized switching behavior.
Interlocking:
Switching operations by operators and automatic commands can be specifically locked.
Simulation and loop check
A simulation of measured values is possible directly from the faceplate – ideal for loop checks and commissioning.
Cascading interlock block
The configurable interlock block enables the display, bridging and flexible interconnection of digital signals. Various gate types and step-shaped display options ensure maximum flexibility.
Powerful analog value monitoring
- Additional scaling options in the faceplate
- Average filter scalable up to 30 seconds
- Simulation by switching between a live and dummy value
- Limit value monitoring for 3x high and 3x low monitoring of value changes (rate of change)
Versatile digital value monitoring
Display, bridging and normalization of digital input signals, time delay, storage, alarming and trend recording
