Loop Check: Operator's Guide

The document provides instructions for checking various types of signals in a loop check, including: 1) Verifying parameters for 4-20mA signals and forcing inputs to test readings and alarms. 2) Testing digital inputs by activating field devices and verifying readings, and testing digital outputs by forcing outputs. 3) Forcing fieldbus transmitter inputs to test readings and alarms, and setting PID modes and setpoints to test control valves. 4) Forcing analog inputs for IPS signals to test readings and alarms, and activating digital inputs and outputs to verify indications and shutdown signals.

alarm set point) are correct (Loop folder
INTools data as the official reference)
4-20mA signals

Analog Input
 Field:
– force input to 0%, 50%, 100% of span
