Abstract: A system for commissioning a controller accepts a different manual input during each of several different phases of the installation and provides the installer with a different detectable cue during each phase. The installer provides the manual input and then operates a switch indicating the input is present. The system stores the manual input present and advances the system to the next phase, and in a preferred embodiment provides a visible cue identifying each phase. The preferred embodiment uses devices controlled by the controller during normal operation and which also have manual position adjustment or set point selection to provide the manual inputs.

Abstract: A control system for controlling an operating system stores a system parameter such as an ultimate pressure value, for an operating system. The control system allows operation of the operating system only after an initial value of the system parameter has been loaded. In one embodiment, a data generator element intended normally to specify a set point for the operating system, is used to provide the system parameter value as well. The control system provides a grace period after a value of the system parameter has been entered during which the system parameter value can be changed. After the grace period ends, the system parameter value cannot be changed by the operating system manager under normal circumstances. A light source is flashed in various patterns to indicate to personnel which of several different actions available to the control system are occurring.
