Sometimes it is desirable for the device to resume opera-
tion after a power failure. However, you can introduce a manual activation step for safety reasons.
The maximum rotation speed of the ventilator in the device is
limited between 70 and 140 %. With the[Fan Limit] at 100 %, under normal conditions (ambient
temperature 20 °C) the specified cooling capacity is reached.
If a higher cooling capacity is required or if higher ambient
temperatures are present, the maximum ventilation fan rotation speed can be increased. This does, however, increase the noise issued by the device.
Reducing the maximum ventilation fan rotation speed can
cut down on the operating noise of the device. This does, however, reduce the cooling capacity of the device.
Increase the maximum ventilator fan rotation speed when
the device is operating in a warmer environment.
If the device has reached the control range, the ventilator
fan rotation speed will automatically be reduced, regardless of the setting [Fan Limit].

- Initial value of the controller to compensate for the difference between the actual value and target value (control deviation).
- The PID controller operates with extreme speed and precision and consists of a P, I and D-compo­nent.
- The proportional range Xp indicates the tem­perature range within which the proportional com­ponent (P-component) of the controller represents 0 ¾ 100 % of the maximum actuating signal. If the preset Xp is 10 K and the control deviation is 2 K, for example, the P-component is 20 % of the actuating signal. If the control deviation is 10 K or more, the P-component is 100 % of the actuating signal.
- The adjustment time is crucial for the I-component of the actuating signal. It specifies the interval at which an existing control deviation is integrated. The higher the Tn, the slower the control deviation is integrated and the more sluggish the control becomes. A small Tn makes the control more dynamic and eventually results in vibrations.
- The D-component of the actuating signal is formed from the hold-back time Tv. It influences the speed with which the actual value approaches the target value and counteracts the P-component and I-component. The greater the preset hold-back time Tv, the more intensively the output signal is attenu­ated. Rule of thumb: Tv = Tn x 0.75.
- Attenuation time of the D-component. Rule of thumb: Td = Tv x 0.15.
Effects of viscosity on the heat transfer liquid
A control that is stable at low temperatures will usually be stable at high temperatures. Conversely, if a system is just about stable at high temperatures, it will most probably be unstable at lower tem­peratures, i.e. vibrate.

Influence of control parameters on the control action
Fig. 11: Ideal setting
Operation
If the Xp parameter selected is too large, the actual value will reach the proportional range early and the P-component will be less than 100 % of the actuating signal. It takes longer to reach the target value and as a result, the simultaneously integrated I-component has more time to establish its actuating signal component. Once the target value is reached, the excessive addition of the I-compo­nent causes the value to overshoot the target value. If proportional range Xp is reduced, the P-component remains at 100 % for longer. Consequently, the actual value approaches the target value more quickly and the I-component has less time to integrate the system deviation. The overshoot is reduced.
Fig. 12: Control parameter Xp too large
Fig. 13: Control parameter Xp too small
If the proportional range selected is too small, the P-component of the actuating signal remains at 100 % for a long time. This value decreases even faster within the proportional range, i.e. the actuating signal decreases rapidly and the progress of the actual value towards the target value comes almost to a complete stop. The I-component, which only becomes effective now, causes the actual value to move slowly towards the target value.
LOOP 29
Operation
Fig. 14: Control parameters Tn and Tv too small
In the case shown here, the preset I-component is too large (parameter Tn too small, Tn must be increased). The I-component integrates the control deviation until it becomes 0. If integration proceeds too rapidly, the actuating signal, i.e. the output signal of the controller, is too large. As a result, the actual value fluctuates (fading) around the target value. The hold-back time (parameter Tv) should be adapted using the formula: Tv = Tn x 0.75 adapted.
The actual value increases relatively sharply towards the specified target value. The proportional area settings seem to be correct. If the control deviation becomes smaller, the actual value approaches the target value much more slowly. The integration component (I-component) must compensate for the drastic reduc­tion of the proportional component (P-component). In this case, the I-component is integrated too slowly. The parameter Tn, which specifies the integration interval, must therefore be reduced. The hold-back time (parameter Tv) should be adapted using the for­mula: Tv = Tn x 0.75.

5.10.3 Editing control parameters

The [Tv man/auto] menu item allows you to define whether the control parameters [Tv] and [Td] are adapted manually or config­ured automatically. If the automatic setting is enabled, both control parameters are marked with the letter "a" and a lock symbol and cannot be selected. In this case, [Tv] and [Td] are derived with fixed factors of [Tn].

Operation
Take the following information into account:
With hardware handshake: When connecting a thermostat to
the PC, use a 1:1 and not a null modem cable. The RS 232 interface can be connected directly to the PC using a 1:1 con­tacted cable.
Without hardware handshake: Set the corresponding operation
mode on the PC. Use protected connection lines. Connect the protective screen with the connector shell. The lines are gal­vanically separated from the rest of the electronics. Do not con­nect unassigned pins.
It is easy to check the RS 232 interface when it is connected to
a PC with a Microsoft Windows operating system. For Windows® 3.11 with the program "Terminal". For Windows® 95/98/NT/XP with the program "HyperTerminal".
For operating systems Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 "HyperTerminal" is no longer part of the operating system.
Terminal programs are available on the Internet as freeware.
These programs offer features similar to "HyperTerminal" (for example PuTTY). Search query "serial port terminal program".

5.11.2 Protocol RS 232

Take the following information into account:
Connection to SUB-D socket 9-pinThe interface works with 1 stop bit, without a parity bit and with
8 data bits.
Transmission speed alternately: 2400, 4800, 9600 (factory set-
ting) or 19200 bauds.
The RS 232 interface can be operated with AND without hard-
ware handshake (RTS/CTS). In order to do so, Pin 4 (DSR) and Pin 6 (DTR) and Pin 7 (CTS) and Pin 8 (RTS) must be connected with a bridge.
The command from the computer must be made with a CR,
CRLF, or LFCR. CR = Carriage Return (Hex: 0D); LF = Line Feed (Hex: 0A)
The response from the thermostat is always made with a
CRLF.
After each command sent to the thermostat, it is necessary to
wait for the reply before sending another command. This ensures that the sequencing of inquiries and answers is clear.
Example for set value transfer from 30.5 °C to the thermo­stat.
