Pump Status Tags
Pump status tags accept incoming digital data from pumps.
VTS also includes digital status tags that are to be used for equipment processes related to digital equipment other than pumps. For information on digital status tags and their properties, please refer to Digital Status Tags.
Note: Digital inputs clamp raw data values to either zero or one on each input pin (yielding a result of 0, 1, 2, or 3 for pump status and digital status tags). Analog zero yields zero, while all other values yield 1. This is effective for analog values that have discrete states (e.g. line voltage can be read for on/off), but pure analog data (e.g. velocity) will only become false when the value drops below the sensitivity of the measuring device.
The characteristics of pump status tags are summarized in the table below.
