LOGIC INPUTS
Both the TC8 and TC 16 can be equipped with a logic input
for selecting between main set point and auxiliary set point
(SP or SP2)
SET POINTS
Two set points are available:
Main set point (SP)
Auxiliary set point (SP2)
Set point transfer:
Transfer from SP to SP2 and vice versa may be driven by logic
input (contact closure). The transfer may be done by a step
transfer or by a ramp with two different programmable rates of
rise (ramp up and ramp down).
Set point limiters:
Set point low limit and set point high limit are programmable.
| CONTROL ACTION |
| Algorithm: PID + SMART Type: Proportional band: Hysteresis (for ON/OFF control
action): Integral time: Derivative time: Integral preload: |
Out 1 (heating) cycle
time: From 1 second to 200 seconds AUTO/MANUAL
mode: AUTO/MANUAL transfer: Two control outputs Cooling cycle time: Overlap/dead band: |
NOTE: When the proper cooling medium
(air, oil or water) is set during the
configuration procedure, the temperature controller will automatically set
the 2 output parameters.
| CONTROL OUTPUTS |
| Type: Time proportioning Direct/reverse
action: Output level indication: Output status indication: Output level limiter: |
Relay Outputs Output cycle time: Programmable from 1 s to 99 s Output
1 (heating): Output2 (cooling): Logic voltage for SSR driver (output 1
only): Output safety value: |
| OUTPUT "TURN OFF" FUNCTION |
| This function disables the control output, making the temperature controller operate as an indicator. As a result, the process variable can be monitored even when the load is OFF. When the control mode is resumed, the integral component of the output signal will be set to zero and the soft start and the alarm masking functions will be enabled. |
| ALARMS | |
| Output action: Direct or reverse function programmable Alarm functions: Alarm reset: |
Alarm masking: Each alarm can be configured as masked alarm or standard alarm. This function eliminates false indication at instrument start-up and after set point change |

Deviation alarm Operational mode: High or low programmable Threshold: Hysteresis: Heater breakdown alarm: Type: Threshold: |

front protection *SMART function for self-tuning of control parameters *Proprietary algorithm for heating/cooling control with automatic setting of control parameters according to the cooling media (air, oil or water) *Dual 4-digit LED display *Universal input (6TC types, RTD, mV, mA, 5Vand 10V all calibrated) *Independent alarms programmable as process alarm, band alarm or deviation alarm *Automatic or manual alarm reset *Alarm masking during start-up or set-point change *Manual control mode *2 programmable set points (main and auxiliary) *2 independent ramps (up and down ramps) for set point changes *Logic input for set point selection *Switching power supply (100 to 240 VAC) *Soft start ( time out output limiter) *Output power limit on maximum if rise function *Output "turn off" function
During start-up the SMART function implements auto-tuning, calculating the value of the P.I.D. parameters to optimize the set point approach. During control SMART implements self-tuning, updating the P.I.D. parameters according to the type of response due to a set point change as load change |
