Appendix A Runtime Templates Device Loop Templet3BUR002418-600 A 221Device Loop TempletThis section describes the active runtime fields on the Device Loop Templet. Selectthe Loop FCM Display and then the device block to get the runtime version of theDevice Loop Templet. Use the fields at the bottom of the Loop FCM Display tomake State, Mode and Command changes.LOOP DESCRIPTOR FieldThis field specifies a loop descriptor. The descriptor is a label included onoperational displays and the Alarm/Event Log. This field does not need a uniqueentry, so more than one loop can have the same descriptor.Valid entry is:any combination of up to 24 alphanumeric characters. All 24 characters areprinted when information for the loop appears on the Alarm/Event Log, butonly the first 12 characters are shown when the descriptor appears on a display.PROCESSING RATE FieldThis field specifies the loop processing rate. This field and the CCF BASE RATEfield interact to determine the loop processing rate. Scan Rate (Loop Detail display)equals the Processing Rate divided by the Base Rate. If the Base Rate is 0.5 and theProcessing Rate is 1.0, then the Scan Rate is 2.0.Valid entry is in the form of an integer equivalent of hr:min:sec. The range is 0.100second (min.) to 65535 times the base rate (max.). Processing rate must be greaterthan or equal to the CCF base rate (0.1 to 1.0). This field is automatically roundedup to the next higher multiple of the base rate.Device Loop Template entry examples:Runtime Entry Configurator Entry Interpreted as:0.25 .25 .25 seconds5 5 5 seconds257 4:17 or 257 4 minutes 17 seconds7744 2:09:04 or 7744 2 hours 9 minutes 4 seconds
