Open and close command:

The commands from the

graphic display, initiated by operator, to open and
close the valve. Note that these are always momentary.
Open and close limits: The indication from the valve
limit switches that tells the operator and the logic
when the valve is fully open or fully closed.

Open and close permissive: Process conditions that

are required before the valve can be opened or
closed.

Auto open or close: Conditions that open and close the

valve automatically while the valve is in auto mode.
Output from the logic:

Open and close outputs: The output from the logic to

the valve that strokes it open and closed.
Indications and alarms:

Auto mode: Shows that the valve is in auto mode and

will be operated automatically by the auto open and
auto close commands

Failed to open/failed to close: An alarm that shows

that the valve was given an open or close output,
but the fully open or fully closed limit was not
reached in a specified amount of time.

Mismatch: An alarm that shows that both the open and

close limit are true at the same time

Start and stop command: The commands from the

graphic display initiated by the operator to start and
stop the motor. Note that these are always momentary.

Run contact: The indication from the pump motor that

tells the logic that the pump is running.

Start permissive: A condition that is required before

the pump can be started.

Process trip: Process conditions that shut down the

pump motor (i.e., trip the pump when the tank level
is too low).

Auto start: A condition that starts a pump automatically while the pump is in auto mode (example: Auto
start the pump when another pump fails).

Auto stop: A condition that stops the pump automatically when the pump is in auto mode.

Start and stop output: The output from the logic to

the pump motor that starts and stops the motor.
Indications and alarms:

Ready: Shows that all permissives have been met and

the pump is ready to be started by the operator.

Auto mode: Shows that the pump is in auto mode and

will be operated automatically by the auto start and
auto stop commands.

Failed: An alarm that tells the operator that the pump

was given a start output, but it is not running. This
tells the operator that there is a problem with the
pump itself and indicates that either the pump did not
start when it was told to, or that it stopped after it had
been running, but it was not stopped by the logic.

Tripped: An alarm that tells the operator that the pump

was stopped by the logic via the process trip (not
by the operator or an auto stop command). This
alarm is not always included in pump logic
