7 Caution during Use Caution during Use Follow instructions in 'Cautions during Use'. Otherwise, It may cause unexpected accidents. Check the polarity of the terminals before wiring the temperature sensor. For RTD temperature sensor, wire it as 3-wire type, using cables in same thickness and length. For thermocouple (CT) temperature sensor, use the designated compensation wire for extending wire. Keep away from high voltage lines or power lines to prevent inductive noise. In case installing power line and input signal line closely, use line filter or varistor at power line and shielded wire at input signal line. Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high frequency noise. Do not apply excessive power when connecting or disconnecting the connectors of the product. Install a power switch or circuit breaker in the easily accessible place for supplying or disconnecting the power. Do not use the unit for other purpose (e.g. voltmeter, ammeter), but temperature controller. When changing the input sensor, turn off the power first before changing. After changing the input sensor, modify the value of the corresponding parameter. Power supply should be insulated and limited voltage/current or Class 2, SELV power supply device. Do not overlapping communication line and power line. Use twisted pair wire for communication line and connect ferrite bead at each end of line to reduce the effect of external noise. Make a required space around the unit for radiation of heat. For accurate temperature measurement, warm up the unit over 20 min after turning on the power. Make sure that power supply voltage reaches to the rated voltage within 2 sec after supplying power. Do not wire to terminals which are not used. Install DIN rail vertically from the ground. This unit may be used in the following environments. 1Indoors (in the environment condition rated in 'Specifications') 2Altitude max. 2,000m 3Pollution degree 2 4Installation category II The above specifications are subject to change and some models may be discontinued without notice.

42 6 Parameter Settings and Functions Input type This product supports multiple input types, making it possible for the user to choose from thermocouples, resistors, and analog voltage/current. Different sensors can be designated to each channel. CH1 input type = KCA.H, CH2 input type = JIC.H Setting group Parameter Setting range Initial Setting Input Type Refer to Input type and temperature range Factory default K(CA).H - Unit When changing input type settings, the high-limit and low-limit values of SV are automatically changed to max/min values of operational temperature range of the modified input type. You must reset these values. (SV, Multi SV No, SV-0 to SV-3 and input correction are initialized.) However, measurement units remain the same. If the measured value is out of the input range, external device displays HHHH (high-limit), LLLL (low-limit) and displays OPEN when the sensor is not connected Input temperature sensor unit When selecting the temperature sensor input options, you can set the desired units of operation temperature/display temperature. Setting group Parameter Setting range Factory default Initial Setting Unit, - Unit When modifying the temperature units, setting values of the related parameters remain the same as the existing values, and SV, Multi SV No., SV-0 to SV-3, SV high-limit/low-limit, and input correction will be initialized. 42 Copyright Reserved Autonics Co., Ltd.

43 6 Parameter Settings and Functions Input correction This feature is used to compensate for input correction produced by thermocouples, RTDs, or analog input devices, but NOT by the controller itself. The input correction adjustments function is mainly used when the sensor cannot be attached directly to control object. It is also used to compensate for temperature variance between the sensor's installation point and the actual measuring point. Setting group Parameter Setting range Initial Setting Input Bias -999 to 999 (H) to (L) Factory default Unit 0 Digit If the controller displays 78 when the actual temperature is 80, set the input correction to 2 in order to adjust the controller's display temperature to 80. Make sure that an accurate temperature variance measurement is taken before setting values of Input Correction. An inaccurate initial measurement can lead to greater variance. Many of today's temperature sensors are graded by their sensitivity. Since higher accuracy usually comes at a higher cost, most people tend to choose sensors with medium sensitivity. Measuring each sensor's sensitivity correction and using the Input Correction feature for correction can ensure higher accuracy in temperature reading Input digital filter It is not possible to perform high accuracy control if the PV (present value) fluctuates because of noise elements, disturbance, or instabilities in the input signal. Using the Input Digital Filter function can stabilize PV to realize more reliable control. Setting group Parameter Setting range Factory default Initial Setting Digital Filter 0.1 to Sec. Unit When the Input Digital Filter is set to 0.4 seconds, the digital filter is applied according to a sampling value collected over 0.4 seconds (400ms). When the Input Digital Filter is used, PV (present value) can vary from the actual input value. Copyright Reserved Autonics Co., Ltd. 43

44 6 Parameter Settings and Functions SV high/low-limit value You can limit the SV (setting value) range within the temperature range of the sensor or analog input type (refer to Input type and temperature range) in order to prevent the system from controlling with improper SV. Factory Setting group Parameter Setting range default SV High-limit 1350 Initial Setting Refer to the below. SV Low-limit -200 SV low-limit value: Min. value of input sensor range to SV high-limit - 1 digit SV high-limit value: SV low-limit + 1 digit to max. value of input sensor range Unit / Attempts to set the limits outside the min/max input range, or analog's high/low-limits, are not accepted. Instead, the previous settings are retained. SV (setting value) can only be set within the SV low-limit and SV high-limit. SV low-limit cannot exceed SV high-limit.

Heating and cooling control mode controls the object using different PID time constants for each heating and cooling. It is also possible to set heating and cooling control in both PID control or ON/OFF control mode. Heating/cooling output can be selected among Relay output, SSR drive voltage output and current output depending on model types choosen according to your application environment. (Note that only standard SSR control is available for SSR drive output in OUT2.)

47 6 Parameter Settings and Functions Deadband/Overlap band In heating and cooling control, it is possible to designate a deadband between heating and cooling control bands based on SV (setting value). A deadband forms around the SV when DB is set to a positive value. No control occurs in the deadband area. Therefore, heating and cooling MVs become 0.0% in the formed deadband. An overlap band (simultaneous application of heating and cooling MVs) forms around the SV when DB is set to a negative value.

52 6 Parameter Settings and Functions Ramp function Ramp is a feature used to configure the changed temperature per unit time toward SV (setting value). The feature limits change rate of SV and thereby restricts sudden temperature changes (increase and decrease) in the control subject. Ramp is commonly used in applications where rapid temperature changes (increase and decrease) could impact negatively on the control subject. SV determines the control of the control subject temperature. The SV changes based on the configured changed temperature per unit time (hereinafter referred to as RAMP SV). Ramp Up change rate and Ramp Down change rate can be set independently. Setting group Parameter Setting range Control Operation Ramp_Up/Down Change Rate 0 (OFF) to Factory default Ramp Time Unit SEC, MIN, HOUR MIN - Unit / / Digit For ceramic or pottery furnaces, rapid heating may break the furnace subject. Apply Ramp Up Change Rate to control the temperature. Activating the ramp feature when the ramp is not in operation limits the rate of SV (setting value) change based on PV (present value). Changing SV or ramp parameters when the ramp is in operation limits the rate of SV change based on SV at the point of the change. Alarm activation with the ramp in operation depends on the final SV.

ON_Hysteresis sets the output on point and OFF_Offset sets the off point. Setting hysteresis too low can result in hunting induced by disturbance (noise, chattering, etc.). To minimize hunting, set ON_Hysteresis and OFF_Offset values according to the heater or cooler's capacity and thermal characteristics, control subject and sensor response characteristics, installation conditions, and other defining factors.

57 6 Parameter Settings and Functions PID control PID control is a combination of proportional (P), integral (I), and derivative (D) controls and offers superb control over control subjects, even with a delay time. Proportional control (P) implements smooth, hunting-free control; integral control (I) automatically corrects offsets; and derivative control (D) speeds up the response to disturbance. Through these actions, PID control realizes ideal temperature control. How to apply PID control Proportional (P) control: Set both integral and derivative times to 0 after PID control is selected. Proportional-Integral (PI) control: Set the derivative time to 0 after PID control is selected. Proportional-Derivative (PD) control: Set the integral time to 0 after PID control is selected. When using the multi-sv function, the same PID time constant will be applied to SV0 to SV Proportional band When PV (present value) is within the proportional band (P), the ON/OFF ratio needs to be adjusted during the proportional period (T). The defined proportional control (time proportional control) section is referred to as the proportional band.

Derivative control is not conducted if the derivative time is set to Control period If relay or SSR is used to send out MV under proportional control, the output is on for a fixed amount of time (within the control period, as a percentage of the MV) and then remains off. The preset period when output ON/OFF takes place is called the proportional control period. Control using SSR drive voltage output has a faster response than that of relay output. Therefore, by configuring a shorter control period, more responsive temperature control is achieved.

59 6 Parameter Settings and Functions Offset correction/manual reset When only proportional control (P, PD control) is used, the control subject's thermal capacity and heater capacity affect the heating and cooling time. This means stable control will still experience some deviation called offset. Offset can be corrected using manual reset. Preceding Setting Factory Setting group Parameter Unit condition range default Control Operation PID Manual Reset 0.0 to % Manual reset adjustment based on control results Under stable control conditions, set the offset to 50% if PV and SV are identical, to over 50.0% if PV is lower than SV, and below 50.0% if PV is higher than SV. The offset correction feature can only be used when proportional control is in effect. Setting the integral value to 0 makes the manual reset parameter visible. The user cannot configure the manual reset setting during heating and cooling control. Instead, the setting is automatically set to 0% for both heating and cooling. Applicable only when integral time is set to 0 (under P control or PD control only).

60 6 Parameter Settings and Functions Auto-tuning In PID control, auto-tuning processes the control subject's thermal characteristics and thermal response rate, and then determines the necessary PID time constant. Application of the PID time constant realizes fast response and high precision temperature control Auto-tuning ON/OFF Auto-tuning automatically stores PID time constants upon termination. These PID time constants can then be modified by the user to suit their usage environment. When performing auto-tuning, the output LED of the pertinent channel flashes at 1 second intervals. Once auto-tuning is complete, the output LED automatically goes off, and the parameter value returns from ON to OFF.

If sensor break error occurrs during auto-tuning, the sensor is automatically closed and the previous PID time constant kept. Auto-tuning continues to run even if the temperature reading exceeds or falls below the input range. When auto-tuning is in progress, parameters can only be referenced and not altered. When auto-tuning is in progress and digital input(di-1,di-2) feature is run/stop or auto/manual, auto-tuning will be automatically ended, if concerned DI is inputted or sensor break error occurs.

Alarm output option can be set to standard alarm (AL-A) or alarm latch (AL-B) Heater burnout alarm When using a heater to raise the temperature of the control subject, the temperature controller can be set to detect heater disconnection and send out an alarm by monitoring power supply to the heater. Heater disconnection is detected by the controller using a current transformer (CT), which converts the current to the heater to a specific ratio (CT ratio) for monitoring. If the heater current value (CT-A) measured by the CT is less than the heater detection setting value (Alarm Low_CH), the heater burnout alarm will activate. Heater burnout detection only takes place when the temperature controller's output is turned on. Otherwise, heater burnout will not be detected by the controller.

Setting Factory Setting group Parameter Unit range default Alarm Setting Alarm Low_Ch 0.0 to A Set to 00.0 for OFF. Set to 50.0 for ON. Setting value calculation : Heater burnout setting value = {(normal heater current values) + (heater burnout current)}/2 If using a single output heater (Capacity: 200 VAC, 1 KW, 5 A), normal heater current is 5 A, and burnout heater current is 0 A, the setting value is calculated as (5 A + 0 A)/2 = 2.5 A. Therefore, heater current values less than 2.5 A (heater burnout setting value) will be deemed heater burnout and the alarm will activate. When two output heaters (Capacity: 200 VAC, 1 KW, 5 A) are used, normal heater current is 10 A (5 A 2). If a single heater burns out, the heater current becomes 5A. The setting value is calculated as (10 A + 5 A)/2 = 7.5 A).
