This instrument is a microprocessor based single loop controller capable of measuring,
displaying and controlling temperature, pressure, flow, and level from a variety of inputs. Most
heating outputs are easily tuned using the instrument’s Auto Tune function with several
choices for control algorithms and control responses.
Control functions, alarm settings and other parameters are easily entered through the front
keypad. All user's data can be protected from unauthorized changes with it’s Enable mode
security system. Battery back-up protects against data loss during AC power outages.
The input is user configurable to directly connect to either thermocouple, RTD, mVDC, VDC or
mADC inputs. Thermocouple and RTD linearization, as well as thermocouple cold junction
compensation is performed automatically. The sensor input is isolated . The instrument can
be specified to operate on either 115VAC or 230VAC power at 50/60Hz. It is housed in an
extruded aluminum enclosure suitable for panel mounting and may be surface mounted using
an optional adaptor. For installation in washdown areas, a watertight cover is available (see
the instrument price list order matrix).

1.1.2 DISPLAYS
Each instrument is provided with dual digital displays and status indicators as shown in Figure
1-1. The upper digital display is programmable to show the process variable or the deviation
from setpoint value. The lower digital display will be the active setpoint value or the percentage of the proportional output indicated by the indicator light. Status indication is as shown
(Figure 1-1). Display resolution is programmable for 0 to 3 decimal places depending upon
the input type selected.
PAGE 6
1.1.3 CONTROL
The instrument can be programmed for on-off, time proportioning, current proportioning, or
position proportioning control implementations depending on the output(s) specified for the
instrument in the model number. The Auto Tune function can be used for a heating output
assigned to output 1 at the Setpoint 1 value. A second control output is an available option.
Proportional control implementations are provided with fully programmable separate PID
parameters.
1.1.4 ALARM
Alarm indication is standard on all instruments. Alarm type may be set as PROCESS
DIRECT or REVERSE (High or Low), DEVIATION DIRECT or REVERSE (Above or Below
setpoint), or DEVIATION BAND TYPE (Closed or Open within the band). Alarm status is
indicated by LED. An alarm output can be provided by assigning any output(s) SPST relay(s)
or SSR Driver(s) to the alarm.
1.1.5 PROCESS VALUE RE-TRANSMISSION OUTPUT
If an instrument is specified with a mADC current output, this output may be programmed to
operate as a process value re-transmission output (range scaled by user). If an output is
used as a process value output, it is not available for use as a control output.

Installation and Wiring 2.1
Prior to proceeding with installation, verify the AC power input required by the instrument. AC
power input is either 115 VAC or 230 VAC and is specified in the model number and on the
wiring label affixed to the instrument housing. See Figure 2-4 (page 12) for a wiring label
description.
230 VAC models may be converted to 115 VAC operation by the user by changing the
position of jumpers soldered on the Power Supply Board, see Appendix A-1 (page 50) for
details. (Note: 115VAC units cannot be field converted to 230VAC)
Electrical code requirements and safety standards should be observed and installation
performed by qualified personnel.
The electronic components of the instrument may be removed from the housing during
installation. To remove the components, loosen the locking screw located in the lower center
of the instrument’s front panel. Pull the entire instrument straight out of the
housing. During re-installation, the vertically mounted circuit boards should be properly
aligned in the housing. Be sure that the instrument is installed in the original housing. This
can be verified by matching the serial number on the unit to the serial number on the housing.
(Serial numbers are located on the inside of the housing enclosure and on the label on the
underside of the front panel). This will insure that each instrument is accurate to its published
specifications. The ambient compensator on the rear of the housing enclosure is calibrated to
the electronics of the instrument at the factory.
PAGE 7
Recommended panel opening sizes are illustrated below (Figure 2-1). After the opening is
properly cut, insert the instrument housing into the panel opening. Insert the two panhead
screws provided, through the holes in the mounting bracket into the holes in the rear of the
instrument as shown in Figure 2-1. Firmly tighten the screws. Instruments are shipped
standard for panel mounting. To surface mount, an adaptor is required and should be
specified when ordering. For installation in wash-down areas, a watertight cover is available.

Preparation for Wiring 2.2
2.2.1 WIRING GUIDELINES
Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The following are
guidelines that must be followed to minimize the effect of noise upon any instrumentation.
2.2.1.1 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the industrial environment:
• Ignition Transformers
• Arc Welders
• Mechanical contact relay(s)
• Solenoids
Before using any instrument near the devices listed, the instructions below should be fol-
lowed:
1. If the instrument is to be mounted in the same panel as any of the listed devices, separate
them by the largest distance possible. For maximum electrical noise reduction, the noise
generating devices should be mounted in a separate enclosure.
2. If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relay(s) and replace with solid state relays. If a
mechanical relay being powered by an instrument output device cannot be replaced, a solid
state relay can be used to isolate the instrument.
3. A separate isolation transformer to feed only instrumentation should be considered. The
transformer can isolate the instrument from noise found on the AC power input.
4. If the instrument is being installed on existing equipment, the wiring in the area should be
checked to insure that good wiring practices have been followed.
2.2.1.2 AC POWER WIRING
Earth Ground
The instrument includes noise suppression components that require an earth ground connection to function. To verify that a good earth ground is being attached, make a resistance
check from the instrument chassis to the nearest metal water pipe or proven earth ground.
This reading should not exceed 100 ohms. Use a 12 gauge (or heavier) insulated stranded
wire.
Neutral (For 115VAC)
It is good practice to assure that the AC neutral is at or near ground potential. To verify this, a
voltmeter check between neutral and ground should be done. On the AC range, the reading
should not be more than 50 millivolts. If it is greater than this amount, the secondary of this
AC transformer supplying the instrument should be checked by an electrician. A proper
neutral will help ensure maximum performance from the instrument.
2.2.1.3 WIRE ISOLATION
Four voltage levels of input and output wiring may be used with the unit:
• Analog input or output (i.e. thermocouple, RTD, VDC, mVDC or mADC)
• SPST Relays
• SSR driver output
• AC power
The only wires that should be run together are those of the same category. If they need to be
run parallel with any of the other lines, maintain a minimum 6 inch space between the wires.
If wires must cross each other, do so at 90 degrees. This will minimize the contact with each
other, do so at 90 degrees. This will minimize the contact with each other and reduces "cross
talk". "Cross talk" is due to the EMF (Electro Magnetic Flux) emitted by a wire as current
passes through it. This EMF can be picked up by other wires running the same bundle or
conduit.
In applications where a High Voltage Transformer is used, (i.e. ignition systems) the secondary of the transformer should be isolated from all other cables.
This instrument has been designed to operate in noisy environments, however, in some cases
even with proper wiring it may be necessary to suppress the noise at its source.
2.2.1.4 USE OF SHIELDED CABLE
Shielded cable helps eliminate electrical noise being induced on the wires. All analog signals
should be run with shielded cable. Connection lead length should be kept as short as
possible, keeping the wires protected by the shielding. The shield should be grounded at one
end only. The preferred grounding location is the sensor, transmitter, or transducer.
2.2.1.5 NOISE SUPPRESSION AT THE SOURCE
Usually when good wiring practices are followed, no further noise protection necessary.
sometimes in severe electrical environments, the amount of noise is so great tht it has to be
suppressed at the source. Many manufacturers of relays, contactors, etc., supply "surge
suppressors" which mount on the noise source.
For these devices that do not have surge suppressors supplied, RC (resistance-capacitance)
networks and/or MOC (,etal oxide varistors) may be added.
Inductive Coils - MOV's are recommended for transient suppression in inductive coils connected in parallel and as close as possible to the coil. See Figure 2-2. Aditional protection
may be provided by adding an RC network across the MOV.

Contacts - Arcing may occur across contacts when the contact opens and closes. This
results in electrical noise as well as damage to the contacts. Connecting a RC network
properly sized can eliminate this arc.
For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm resistor and 0.1 microfarad capacitor
(1000 volts) is recommended. For circuits from 3 to 5 amps, connect 2 of these in parallel.
See Figure 2-3, page 10.

2.2.2 SENSOR PLACEMENT (Thermocouple or RTD)
Two wire RTD's should be used only with lead lengths less then 10 feet.
If the temperature probe is to be subjected to corrosive or abrasive conditions, it should be
protected by the appropriate thermowell. The probe should be positoned to reflect true
process temperature:
In liquid media - the most agitated area.
In air - the best circulated area.
THERMOCOUPLE LEAD RESISTANCE
Thermocouple lead length can affect instrument accuracy since the size (gauge) and the
length of the wire affect lead resistance.
To determine the temperature error resulting from the lead length resistance, use the following
equation:
Terr = TLe * Lwhere; TLe = value from appropriate table below
L = length of leadwire in thousands of feet

Example:
An MIC is to be located in a control room 660 feet away from the process. Using 16 AWG,
type J thermocouple, how much error is induced?
Terr = TLe * L
TLe = 2.47 (°F/1000 ft) from Table 2
Terr = 2.47 (°F/1000 ft) * 660 ft
Terr = 1.6 °F

RTD LEAD RESISTANCE
Rtd lead length can affect instrument accuracy, since the size (gauge) and length of the wire
affect lead resistance.
To determine the temperatire error resulting from the lead length resistance, use the following

Configuration and Operation 3.1
3.1.1 POWER UP PROCEDURE
Verify all electrical connections have been properly made before applying power to the
instrument.
If the instrument is being configured (set up) for the first time, it may be desirable to disconnect the controller output connections. The instrument will go into the Control mode following
the power up sequence and the output(s) may turn on. During power up, the seven digit
model number will be displayed. Next, the EPROM tab number will be displayed, followed by
the software revision level. Instrument self test 1 through 3 will take place as they are
displayed. After completion of the tests Ctrl will be displayed for 3 seconds. At this time
another mode of operation may be selected by pressing the SCROLL key.
3.1.2 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
Parameter selections and data entry are made via the front keypad. To ease configuration
and operation, the user selectable features have been divided into several sections (modes).
Data and parameter entries are made by stepping through each mode and making an
appropriate response or entry to each step as necessary for the application.

3.2.2 CONFIGURATION DISPLAYS
During configuration, the upper display shows the parameter codes. The lower digital display
shows the parameter value. During operation, the upper display is used to indicate process
value or deviation from setpoint. The lower display can be used to indicate setpoint value or
proportional output percentage.
3.2.3 MODE SELECTION
If the instrument is in the Control mode, repeated depressions of the SCROLL key will cause
the instrument to display the code corresponding to each mode that is enabled. To enter a
mode, with the mode displayed, depress the DOWN key. Entry into any mode except the
Control, Tune and Enable modes will cause the output(s) to turn off.
Configuration Summary 3.3
All configurable parameters are provided in Tables 3-1 thru 3-3 on the following pages. These
tables illustrate the display sequence, parameter adjustment and factory setting for each step.
The instrument is provided with a “time-out” feature. If the instrument is in any mode, other
than the Control mode, and no keypad activity takes place for 30 seconds, the mode will be
exited automatically. The instrument will then display the code for the respective mode. If a
mode code is displayed for five seconds with no key stroke activity the
“time-out” will cause the instrument to return to the Control mode of operation.

3.3.1 ENABLE MODE CONFIGURATION
The Enable Mode provides a means of enabling or disabling access to setpoint changes and
each of the non-control modes. In the Enable mode, each mode except Control, will be
displayed. Either “on” (enabled) or “oFF” (disabled) may be selected. See Table 3-1 (page
24) for the Enable mode procedure. For additional security the Enable mode may be locked
out by using a hardware jumper, JU 2, located on the Processor board. See Appendix A-2
(page 65).
3.3.2 PROGRAM MODE CONFIGURATION
The Program mode is used to configure or re-configure the instrument. The input and output
selections are made in the Program mode. All possible parameters are illustrated in Table 3-2
(page 29) for illustrative purposes. Only those parameters that are applicable to the hardware
options chosen or to previous parameter selections will be displayed.
PAGE 24
3.3.3 TUNE MODE CONFIGURATION
The Tune mode is used to adjust the tuning parameters and the alarm setting needed for
operation of the instrument. If Auto Tuning is used to determine the parameters for the
heating output (Output 1), those parameters in the Tune mode (except Cycle time) need not
be configured.
TABLE 3-1 ENABLE MODE CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
To enter the Enable mode, depress and hold the UP and DOWN keys. All display lamps will
light, after ten seconds the upper display will read EnAb. If EnAb does not appear, check
the position of the Enable mode jumper, JU 2, located on the Processor board (See Appendix A-2, page 65). The jumper must be in the unlocked position for the Enable mode to
function. Release the keys and the upper display will then change to EtSt. Depress the
SCROLL key to review the state (on or off) of the mode (will appear on the lower display).
Use the UP key to enable a mode that is off. Use the DOWN key to disable a mode that is
on. When all selections have been made, to exit the Enable mode depress the UP key with a
mode code displayed EtSt, ECAL, etc.

Auto Tune Method 3.4
The Auto Tune function will select the tuning parameters for a proportional control heating
application assigned to Output 1. For the Auto Tune to properly calculate the Tune mode
parameters, the Program and Tune mode parameters listed below must be correctly selected.
3.4.1 PROGRAM MODE PARAMETERS THAT AFFECT AUTO TUNING
1. Output 1 out1 must be set for proportioning reverse (heating) (4, 6, 7) output action.
2. Output 1 upper limit o1uL can be used to limit the maximum heating output percentage.
This will affect the process response curve used to calculate the tuning parameters. If
overshooting or Er56 occurs, reducing the maximum output percentage may be
necessary.
3. Output 1 lower limit o1LL can be used to select a minimum output value. The
instrument can be directed to output this minimum value if the Auto Tune aborts (fails)
by use of the Auto Tune Abort AAo option.
4. Output 2 out2 can not be selected as time or current proportioning reverse (4 or 6). If
out1 = 7, then out2 must be 7. Out2 may be used for direct cooling action.
5. Auto Tune can only be initiated when Setpoint Configuration SPC is 0, 1, 2, or 3 and
SP1 is active. In other words, when SP2 or remote setpoint is active, Auto Tune can
not be initiated and the AUTO TUNE key is ignored. If SPC is 4, Auto Tune can not be
initiated.
6. The Auto Tune will not function if the Setpoint Ramp Rate is selected other than 0.0.
7. The Auto Tune Deviation upper limit AduL serves 2 functions: (which depend upon the
Auto Tune Select option parameter selected, see step 46 on page 33).
A. If the Auto Tune Select option ASo = 0, then the process value (temperature)
must be less then the setpoint value minus the AduL value in order for the
Auto Tune to function. Auto Tune will not function if the PV > SP - AduL.
Example: if PV = 200, SP = 230 and AduL = 50, the Auto Tune will not
function (see Appendix B, page 68).
B. If ASo = 1 and the process value is greater than the setpoint value minus
AduL, the heating out1 control output will be turned off when the AUTO
TUNE key is pressed. When the process value drops below the setpoint
value minus the AduL value, the heating control output will be turned on so
the Auto Tune function can begin (see Appendix B, page 68).
Note: In order for AduL to have an effect on Auto Tune, the AduL value must
be greater than 20 degrees or 5 % of the setpoint value, whichever is greater,
initiating the Auto Tune function.
8. Auto Tune Deviation lower limit AdLL:
A. If AdLL = 0 when the Auto Tune key is pressed the Auto Tune process
response calculations will begin when the process value reaches the point
1/2 way between the setpoint value and the process value at the time when
the AUTO TUNE key was pressed. Example: If SP = 1200 and PV = 400,
then the response calculations will be considered when the PV > 800.
PAGE 37
B. If AdLL > 0, when the Auto Tune key is pressed, the Auto Tune process
response calculations will begin when the process value rises above the point
that is the result of subtracting 1/2 of the AdLL value from the setpoint value.
9. Auto Tune setpoint upper limit ASuL sets a maximum setpoint limit over which the
auto tune will not initiate. Typically selected at application maximum setpoint value
plus 10%.
10. Auto Tune setpoint lower limit ASLL sets a minimum setpoint limit under which the
Auto Tune will not work. ASLL must be lower than ASuL (see Appendix B, page 68)
11. The Control Response Criteria CrC is used to select the desired type of control
response for the process. Selecting 1.0 will provide good response to system upsets
but may allow overshooting of the setpoint. Selecting a value of 2.0 may result in a
slow response to system upsets but provide a stable process control. Selecting
values between 1.0 and 2.0 will result in process control somewhere between the two
extremes described. Actual process response will depend upon the application.
12. Control algorithm choice CAC allows selection of the type of control that best suits the
process. For example, if the process acts a little unstable after Auto Tuning with PID
selected, changing to the CAC PI and re-Auto Tuning may improve process stability.
13. Auto Tune abort option AAo is used to select what the controller will do if the Auto
Tune function can not complete. Select the AAo parameter code that is best for your
application.
14. Auto Tune time limit AtL selects a time limit that will cause the Auto Tune to abort if
the process response calculations have not been completed. Start at 0, no time
limit, if unfamiliar with the process reaction time needed.
15. The Auto Tune on demand ASo parameter, if selected as 0, will disable the Auto
Tune function when the process variable is within the AduL value below setpoint. If
ASo is selected as 1, the Auto Tune will work when the process variable is within the
AduL value below setpoint as described in number 6 previously (page 37).
PAGE 38
3.4.2 TUNE MODE
1. Manual Reset rSt should be set to 0 when performing the initial Auto Tune. This
parameter may be adjusted later, if desired.
2. Cycle Time for Output 1 Ct1 may need to be adjusted when using time proportioning
control. Typically the lowest cycle time settings result in the smoothest process
control. However, low cycle time will reduce the life of mechanical relays. For motor
modulation control, the cycle time setting must be the stroke time of the motor.
Adjusting the cycle time affects the instrument operation. Shorter cycle time causes
more accurate control and shorter life span of electro-mechanical components. Longer
cycle time causes less control accuracy and longer life span of electro-mechancial
components.
3. First Output Position deviation from setpoint FoP should be set to 0 when performing
the initial Auto Tune. This may be adjusted later, if desired .
4. Second Output Position deviation from setpoint SoP, depending upon the application,
may affect the process control response curve that is used by the Auto Tune
calculations. Set SoP to 0 when performing Auto Tune.
3.4.3 AUTO TUNE OPERATION
1. Select the Program and Tune mode parameters as necessary for the application as
described in this section.
2. Use the UP or DOWN key to select the setpoint 1 value for the application.
3. Press the AUTO TUNE key.
4. The lower display will show Atun to indicate that the Auto Tune function is operating.
When the Auto Tune function is complete, Atun will not be displayed.
5. Observe the process response, if any error codes appear, consult the Trouble-shooting
Section for the appropriate response (page 56).
6. If you wish to abort (stop) the Auto Tune, press the AUTO TUNE key once more. This
will cause Er58 to be displayed and the controller will operate as selected by the AAo
parameter.
7. For optimum control, some applications may require manual adjustments of the Tune
mode parameters.
8. When the Auto Tune function has completed and the process control is satisfactory,
you may wish to disable the Auto Tune function and the Tune mode to prevent
inadvertant changes to the tuning parameters.
Manual Tuning Method 3.5
1. Cycle Time - Time Proportioning Outputs
A. Adjusting the cycle time affects instrument operation
1. Shorter Cycle Time
a. More accurate control
b. Shorter life span of electro-mechanical components
2. Longer Cycle Time
a. Less control accuracy
b. Longer life span of electro-mechanical components
2. Proportional Bandwidth
A. Proportional Bandwidth is the inverse of gain.
Increased Bandwidth = Decreased Gain
B. Increase the Proportional Bandwidth if:
1. The process overshoots excessively.
2. The process oscillates excessively.
C. Decrease the Proportional Bandwidth if:
1. The process responds slowly
2. The process fails to reach setpoint
3. Add Automatic Reset
A. Increase the Automatic Reset in steps of .2 repeats per minute until the
process becomes unstable, then decrease until stability is restored.
B. Be sure to allow sufficient time for the process and the instrument to react.

4. Rate Adjustment
A. Rate can cause process instability. Typically add Rate as 1/10th of the
automatic reset value.
B. Decrease Rate if:
5. Manual Reset
A. After making all other adjustments, use if an offset exists between the
setpoint and the process variable.
B. If the process is:

Control Capability 4.1
A variety of user programmable control features and capabilities are available including:
• AutoTune• On-Off Control
• Time Proportioning Control• Current Proportioning
• Position Proportioning Control• Alarm Functions
• Dual Output Control• Auto/Manual Switching
• Automatic Transfer• Setpoint Adjustment
• Process Re-transmission
The capabilities available in a specific unit are dependent upon the hardware options specified
when the instrument is ordered. Refer to Appendix C (page 58) for the decoding of the
instrument model number. Current proportioning control cannot be implemented if a current
output was not ordered. Position proportioning cannot be implemented if two relays (Outputs
1 and 2) and the option have not been ordered. The available output types and quantity of
each are as follows:
Type of OutputQuantity Available
* SPST mechanical relay outputUp to three
* SSR DriverUp to three
* mADC current outputUp to two
The maximum number of SPST relay and/or SSR driver outputs available on a single instrument is three. Relay and SSR drivers may be assigned as either control or alarm outputs.
The mADC current output(s) may be assigned control or process value retransmission
output functions.
Control Responses 4.2
Each instrument may be configured to provide 3 mode proportional control. Proportional
control is provided with Proportional Band, Integration, and Derivative responses. The PID
parameters are defined as follows:
Out 1Out 2
P (Proportional)Proportional BandPb1Pb2
I (Integration)Automatic ResetArS1ArS2
D (Derivative)Ratert1rt2
Manual Reset is provided for use in lieu of, or in conjunction with automatic reset. A cycle
time adjustment parameter is provided for use with each time proportioning control output.
Direct/Reverse Operation of Outputs 4.3
Direct operation is typically used with cooling applications. On-Off direct output(s) will turn on
when the process variable exceeds setpoint. Proportional direct output(s) will increase the
percentage of output as the process value increases within the proportional band.
Reverse operation is typically used with heating applications. On-Off reverse output(s) will
turn off when the process variable exceeds setpoint. Proportional reverse output(s) will
decrease the percentage of output as the process value increases within the proportional
band.
On-Off Control 4.4
On-Off control can be implemented with SPST relay or SSR driver output(s) . On-Off
operation can be assigned to either or both Output 1 and 2. A hysteresis adjustment is
provided for On-Off Outputs. This adjustment is in terms of degrees/engineering units and
defines the bandwidth of the hysteresis. The hysteresis value straddles the setpoint. Relay
chatter can be eliminated by proper adjustment of this parameter. When operating in On-Off
control, the output(s) will turn on or off depending upon the setpoint, the process value, Tune
mode selections, and the hysteresis adjustment.
Time Proportioning Control 4.5
Time Proportioning control can be implemented with a SPST relay or SSR driver. Time
Proportioning control can be selected for either Output 1 and/or Output 2, depending on
hardware configuration. Time Proportioning control is accomplished by cycling the output on
and off during a prescribed period of time when the process variable is within the
proportional band.
Ex: Calculated output % = 40%; Cycle time adjustment = 20 seconds
Output on time = .4 x 20 = 8 seconds
Output off time = .6 x 20 = 12 seconds
PAGE 41
When the unit is operating in the Control mode, the control algorithm determines the output %
required to correct for any difference between the process value and the
setpoint. The output calculation is affected by Tune mode parameter adjustments.
See Figure 4-1 (page 42) for proportional bandwidth effect on the output.
Current Proportioning Control 4.6
Current Proportioning control can be implemented on units provided with mADC current
output(s). Current Proportioning control provides a 4 to 20mADC or 0 to 20mADC output in
response to process value and setpoint. As with Time proportioning, the calculated output %
for Current proportioning control is affected by the Tune mode parameter adjustments.
See Figure 4-1 (page 42) for proportional bandwidth effect on the output.
Position Proportioning Control 4.7
Position Proportioning Control can be implemented on those units provided with two SPST
relay or two SSR driver outputs and the Position Proportioning (slidewire feedback) option.
Position Proportioning control permits the use of PID control when the final control element is
a modulating device such as a motorized valve. Two outputs are required to control the
valve. One output opens the valve, the second output closes the valve. The slidewire
feedback is used to indicate the valve position to the instrument. The valve position will be
dependent upon the process value, the setpoint and Tune mode
parameters. (Continued on next page)
PAGE 42
(Continued from page 41)
A Position Proportioning sensitivity adjustment is provided, which specifies a deadband
around the setpoint to prevent the valve from oscillating. The valve rotation time must be
entered, for proper operation, into the Tune mode paramter Ct1.
See Figure 4-1 for proportional bandwidth effect on the output.

The Proportional Bandwidth is the area where the output is a percentage of the full output.
The size of the proportional band determines what change in the output will result from a
change in the process variable. In the upper figure when the process variable is at 125 the
output will be at 75% of full output. In the lower figure the proportional bandwidth is smaller.
When the process variable is at 125 the output is now at 100%. The larger the proportional
band the smaller the "gain" and vice versa.

Dual Output Control 4.8
Dual output control can be performed when two outputs are specified. The outputs may be
programmed for On-Off, Time Proportioning, or Current Proportioning, as applicable. To utilize
the Auto Tune feature, Output 1 must be programmed for proportional reverse action.
The output action is dependent upon the setpoint, the process value, and Tune mode parameters. If two proportional outputs are selected, both output proportional bands will be biased so
that 0 % of output is seen when the process value equals setpoint. The output(s) can be
biased by the use of the Tune mode parameters FoP and SoP as shown below.

Manual Operation of Proportional Outputs 4.9
To enter the Manual mode, press and release the AUTO/MANUAL key. If the Standby mode
is on in the Enable mode the instrument will enter the Manual mode. The Manual mode
status LED will light to indicate that the Manual mode is in use. Shifting from the Control to
the Manual mode is bumpless. The proportional output(s) will stay at the last value(s)
calculated by the control algorithm. The upper display will show the current process value. If
Output 1 is a proportional output, the lower display will show the Output 1 percentage of
output value and the PO1 status lamp will light. If PO1 is not a proportional output, the lower
display will show the Output 2 percentage of output and the PO2 status lamp will light. If dual
proportional outputs have been selected, press the SCROLL key to toggle the lower display
between the PO1 and the PO2 values. To change the percentage of output value, press the
SCROLL key to display the percentage output value that you desire to adjust. Use the UP or
DOWN key to change the percentage value as desired.
To exit the Manual mode of operation press the AUTO/MANUAL key once more. The Manual
mode status LED will go out. The Auto Transfer to the Control mode function can be selected
in the Program mode to shift the instrument from Manual to Control mode automatically when
the process variable reaches setpoint.
The proportional control output value(s) may change rapidly when returning to the Control
mode. The output change will depend upon the Tune mode selections and the process value
deviation from setpoint at the time of transfer.

Local Single Setpoint
Local single setpoint adjustment, if selected in the Program mode, is accomplished by
using the keypad. Press the UP key to increase the setpoint value. Press the DOWN key
to decrease the setpoint value. Holding the key pressed will cause the value to change
slowly at first then increasingly faster. The range of setpoint values can be limited by
selecting the desired setpoint upper limit SPuL and the setpoint lower limit SPLL values in
the Program mode. The setpoint value can be protected from inadvertent changes by
disabling the Setpoint Change, ESPC, in the Enable mode.
Local Dual Setpoint
Local dual setpoint adjustment, if selected in the Program mode, is accomplished by using
the keypad. Press the SP1/SP2 key to select either SP1 or SP2. Press the UP key to
increase the setpoint value displayed. Press the DOWN key to decrease the setpoint
value displayed. Press the SP1/SP2 key to display the alternate setpoint value. Use the
UP or DOWN key(s) as necessary to adjust the alternate setpoint value. The range of
setpoint values can be restricted by selecting the setpoint upper limit SPuL and the
setpoint lower limit SPLL values in the Program mode. Press the SP1/SP2 key to toggle
the setpoint value from SP1 to SP2 and visa versa. The Auto Tune will function at the
Setpoint 1 value. If the second setpoint is active when the AUTO TUNE key is pressed,
the key will be ignored.
Ramp Rate
A selectable Ramp Rate function can be used to limit the rate at which the setpoint used
by the control algorithm will change. This feature will also establish a soft startup. Upon
power up, the instrument will take the initial process value as the setpoint. A setpoint ramp
rate will be calculated to increase the setpoint from the initial process value to the
setpoint selected. The setpoint ramp rate feature cannot be used with the Auto Tune
function.
PAGE 45
Sudden changes in the setpoint value entered via the keypad can be inhibited from
affecting the control outputs by use of this feature. The internal setpoint used to control
the process will ramp to the setpoint value entered at the rate of change selected.
Note: The displayed SP is not the same as the ramp SP.

Remote Setpoint (Optional)
The instrument setpoint can be adjusted by supplying a signal to the remote setpoint
terminals as indicated in the installation section. Local or Remote setpoint operation is
selected by pressing and releasing the SCROLL key until the upper display reads setpoint
select SPS. Press the DOWN key to enter the Setpoint Select mode. The lower display
will change to show the current setpoint mode, either local loc or remote rSP. To change
the setpoint mode press the SCROLL key. To exit the setpoint mode press the UP key.
To prevent unwanted setpoint mode changes, the Setpoint Select mode can be disabled in
the Enable mode, ESPS. When remote setpoint is active, the AUTO TUNE key is ignored.
Remote Selection of Dual Local Setpoint (Optional)
To use this feature, a remote dry contact closure needs to be connected to the instrument
between terminals 8 and 5 as shown in Section 2.2, page 11. In the Program mode, set
the setpoint configuration value to 3 - Local Dual Setpoint. Exit the Program mode and
follow the instructions for the Local Dual Setpoint to adjust the two setpoint values that are
desired. Return to the Program mode and change the setpoint configuration parameter
value from 3 to 4 - Remote Selection of Dual Local Setpoint. In this configuration, the
AUTO TUNE key is ignored.
When a dry contact closure is sensed between terminals 8 and 5, the setpoint value will be
the SP1 value. If no contact closure is sensed, the controller will be using the SP2 value.
The setpoint values can be adjusted by using the Digital Communcations Option. Refer to
the Protocol Manual (Form 2878) for more details about this option.
Process Re-transmission Output
If the instrument is provided with a current output not used for process control, this output
may be assigned to provide a linear re-transmission of the process value. This output can
be used to provide a process signal to remotely installed recorders, panel meters and
data loggers. The process output is scaled for the application by using the Program mode
parameters, process value upper Pou and process value lower PoL. The current output
resolution is 200 steps, so for the best re-transmission accuracy the span between Pou
and PoL should be as small as possible.
The example illustrated in Figure 4-4 shows a process re-transmission application for
0 to 200 degrees F.

4.1.2 OUTPUT ACTION ON ERROR CONDITION
If the instrument displays a sensor problem code Hi, Lo or Snsr or any of the error codes
1-36, the On/Off Output(s) Control and Alarm will go off. The Proportional Control Outputs
will go to a user selectable output % (P1EC, P2DC in the Program mode). The Process
Re-transmission proportional output will go to 0%. Proportional control can be adjusted in
the event of an error condition in the Manual mode. On/Off relays can be activated
individually in the Test mode (Test 6).

5.2.2 CAL2 MAIN CALIBRATION
This procedure determines and saves calibration values which correct for component variations relating to the input measuring function of the instrument. CAL2 is the only
calibration required for the volt and millivolt inputs. Additional calibration procedures are
required for thermocouple and RTD inputs.
A 50.00 ± .01mVDC source is required for calibrating. In addition make sure that JU1 on the
Processor board is in the “non volt” position. See Appendix A-2 (page 65).
With CAL2 displayed, press and hold the DOWN key, then press the SCROLL key. Release
both keys and the instrument will display hLd1. Short the input terminals 1 and 3 or apply
0.00 ± mV to the input. Depress the DOWN key; dELy will appear for up to ten seconds,
then SCAn will appear for up to ten seconds. A calibration reference number, which should
be 0, ± 50, should then appear. With a number within tolerance display, connect a 50.00
± .01mV source to the input terminals. Press the DOWN key and deLy will be displayed for
ten seconds and the SCAn for ten seconds. Then CAL2 will reappear. If there is a problem,
the appropriate error code will be displayed. Restore JU1 to the position necessary for the
input type.
If the calibration reference number falls outside the 0, ± 50 tolerance, depress the SCROLL
key and CAL2 will be displayed. Depress the DOWN key and perform the calibration once
more. Repeat the calibration until the number falls within the tolerance limits. If the calibration number remains outside these limits, check the connections to the test equipment and try
the calibration again. If the number still does not approach the tolerance limits contact an
Applications Service Engineer at the factory or a local
representative.
Error Recovery - see 5.4 (page 56) for details. However, be sure that the millivolt source is
securely connected, functioning properly and the polarity is correct. Press the DOWN key to
bring the instrument back to dELy and try the calibration again. The calibration can be exited
at anytime. hLd1 or the reference number is displayed by pressing the SCROLL key.
CAL2 QUICK CALIBRATION
This routine will allow the operator to execute a rough calibration on their unit via the keypad
with no other equipment or disturbance to established wiring. It is intended to provide a partial
recovery from a calibration corruption where the necessary equipment indicated in CAL 2-5
may not be available. Is should be noted that this is not intended as a substitution to the main
calibration procedure described earlier and may considerably deter from the accuracy of the
instrument.
With CAL2 displayed, press and hold the DOWN ARROW key, then press the SCROLL key.
Release both keys and the instrument will display hLd1. Press and hold the UP ARROW key,
then press the SCROLL key. The display will momentarily blank and then CAL1 will be
displayed. Release both keys and depress the UP ARROW key. CAL will be displayed.
5.2.3 CAL 3 COLD JUNCTION COMPENSATION
This procedure determines and saves calibration values which correct component variations
relating to the cold junction compensation. This calibration must be preceeded by CAL2 the
main calibration, to properly calibrate the instrument. These two calibrations are the only
ones needed for proper operation with a thermocouple input.
For test equipment: one type J thermocouple and one mercury thermometer accurate to
± .25 degrees C or equivalent is required. Allow 30 minutes of warm up time, with the
thermocouple connected, before proceeding with calibration.
With CAL3 displayed, depress and hold the DOWN key. Then press the SCROLL key and
the unit will display hoLd. Release both keys. Connect the J thermocouple to the input
terminals and place thermometer at the back of the unit. Press the DOWN key and deLy will
be displayed for ten seconds, then SCAn for ten seconds. The instrument will compute and
display the cold junction temperature to the nearest tenth of a degree C. Compare reading
with thermometer and use the UP and DOWN keys to correct the reading, if necessary. To
end the procedure press the SCROLL key and CAL3 will be displayed again.
The instrument may stay in SCAn. To establish a reasonable starting point, with SCAn
displayed, press the SCROLL key. CAL3 should be displayed. With CAL3 displayed, while
pressing the DOWN key, press the SCROLL key. The instrument will display hoLd. Press
the UP key. The instrument will begin the calibration procedure with a default value and
proceed to deLy. Complete calibration as described above.
Error Recovery - see 5.4 ( page 56) for details on specific errors. The calibration can be
exited at any time. hoLd is displayed by pressing the SCROLL key.
5.2.4 CAL 4 COLD JUNCTION TEMPERATURE UTILITY
This procedure displays the temperature sensed by the cold junction compensator (CJC).
No special test equipment is required.
With CAL4 displayed, press and hold the DOWN key then press the SCROLL key and
release both keys. SCAn will be displayed for ten seconds while the instrument
computes the CJC temperature. The result will then be displayed to a tenth of a degree C.
The input terminals must be shorted with a jumper wire. Remember, the temperature
displayed is that of the CJC terminals not the ambient temperature. To exit, press the
SCROLL key and CAL4 will be displayed.
PAGE 51
5.2.5 CAL 5 RTD INPUT
This procedure determines and saves calibration values which correct for component variations relating to RTD inputs. This calibration must be preceded by CAL2 to properly calibrate
the unit.
Test equipment needed will include a Decade Box (Resistance Substitution ) with .01%
resolution or equivalent. Make sure the jumpers JU1 (Processor Board), JU2 and JU3
(Options boards) are in the proper positions for RTD input. See Appendix A-2 (page 65) and
A-3 (page 66 and 67).
With CAL5 displayed press and hold the DOWN key, then press the SCROLL key and
release both keys. hLd1 will then be displayed. Connect the Decade Box at 100 ohm setting
across the input terminals 1 and 3 and Jumper terminals 1 and 5. Press the DOWN key and
dELy will be displayed for up to ten seconds, then SCAn for ten seconds. When hLd2 is
displayed, connect 277 ohms to the input and press the DOWN key. Again dELy will display
for up to ten seconds, followed by SCAn for ten more seconds. CAL5 will be displayed after
the calibration is completed.
Error Recovery - See section 5.4 (page 56) for details about specific errors.
The Calibration mode can be exited any time the unit displays hLd1 or hLd2 by pressing the
SCROLL key.
5.2.6 CAL 6 COLD JUNCTION ON/OFF
With CAL 6 displayed, while pressing the DOWN ARROW key, press the SCROLL key. The
instrument will display C6 and the number of the mode in effect. Mode 0 is the normal
operating mode. The cold junction compensation is on. Mode 1 is the cold junction compensation disabled (off). Pressing the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW will change the mode
selection. The Mode 1 functions to facilitate input testing with a non-temperature compensated millivolt source used to simulate thermocouple input.
PAGE 52
Test Mode 5.3
The Test mode can be entered, if enabled, by pressing and releasing the SCROLL until
tESt is displayed in the upper display. Press the DOWN key and tSt1 will be displayed. This
test can be initiated at this time or press the SCROLL key to advance to the desired test. Test
1, 2 and 3 are performed as a block so the display will advance from tSt1 to tSt4. During the
Test mode, with the exception of Test 5, the lower display will be blank.
All available test procedures are listed in TABLE 5-2 (page 53). Test 1, 2, and 3 are performed on start up, periodically during Control, and on entry into the Test mode. Test 4 is
executed on entry into and periodically during the Control mode. These tests can be used as
trouble-shooting aids.

The relays should be checked for continuity when on and high impedance when off. SSR
drivers will output 5 VDC when on and 0 VDC when off. This sequence may be repeated by
using the DOWN key. To exit press the SCROLL key and tSt6 will be displayed. The
existence of relay SSR outputs is dependent upon the hardware configuration.
5.3.7 TEST 7 - CURRENT OUTPUT 1 TEST
This test allows the user to verify that current Output 1 is functioning properly and will allow
the adjustment of the current output value for testing of associated equipment. A volt meter
with an appropriate shunt resistor or milliamp meter will be needed to execute this test. With
tSt7 displayed depress and hold the DOWN key, then press the SCROLL key. Connect the
DVM or milliamp meter across the output terminals 5 and 6. The display will indicate 4
milliamps output. Use the UP and DOWN keys to vary the output in 1mA steps. The current
output reading should be + /- 0.5mA at any output value. To exit the test, press the SCROLL
key and “tSt7” will be displayed. The existence of the mADC current output is dependent
upon the hardware configuration as indicated by the model number.
5.3.8 TEST 8 - CURRENT OUTPUT 2 TEST
This test is the same as Test 7 except for Output 2. Check the output at terminals 7 and 5.
5.3.9 TEST 9 - AUXILIARY INPUT TEST
This test allows the operator to verify that the auxiliary inputs used for position
proportioning (slidewire) feedback or remote setpoint is functioning properly. A variable
voltage source, 5 VDC will be required to execute this test. With tSt9 displayed, press and
hold the DOWN key then press the SCROLL key. The Auxiliary input voltage will be
displayed to the nearest hundredth of a volt. Connect the +5V source across the Auxiliary
input terminals (terminals 8 and 5) and adjust the voltage. Verify that the voltage
displayed changes accordingly. The displayed voltage should be typically 0 - 5VDC +/-
0.3 volts. To terminate the test, press the SCROLL key. The display will show tSt9.
The existence of the auxiliary input tested in Test 9 depends upon the hardware
configuration as indicated by the model number.
5.3.10 TEST A - COMMUNCATIONS HARDWARE TEST
(Communications Option only)
This test allows the operator to verify that the communications hardware is functioning
properly. With tStA displayed, press and hold the DOWN key then press the SCROLL
key. The display will indicate SEnd. Each time the DOWN key is depressed, the unit will
toggle between SEnd and rEC (receive). With the desired function selected, depress the
SCROLL key.
In the SEnd (send or transmit) mode, the instrument will repeat the following sequence.
First, the transmitter will go logic 1 for one second. Next, the transmitter will change the
logic level to 0 for one second. Then, the transmitter will be disabled for one second. In
the rEC mode, the transmitter will be disabled. In either mode, the instrument will
monitor the line logic level. The display will be rEC0 when a logic 0 is on the line . The
display will be rEC1 when logic 1 is on the line. In the SEnd mode, the unit will display
rEC when the transmitter is disabled.
PAGE 55
To perform an internal test to verify the operation of the hardware, place the instrument in
the Send mode. Verify that the display cycles through rEC1, rEC0, and rEC. To verify that
the transmitter functions properly, two LED’s, each with a current limiting resistor, can be
connected to the communications terminals, with their polarities connected opposite of
each other. The following three states will be produced: one LED on, then the other LED
on, then both off. Alternately, a load resistor can be placed on the terminals, the voltage
generated across the load resistor is as follows: > +3 VDC then > -3VDC and then 0 VDC.
The terminals used depends on the hardware ordered, either 8 and 7 or G and H.
Another test method, would be to connect one or more instruments in the Receive mode to
an instrument in the Send mode. The instruments in the Receive mode should have their
display alternating in sync with the instrument that is in the Send mode. When the
sending unit displays rEC, the receiving units should display rEC1.
To terminate the test, press the SCROLL key for one second. Upon exit, tStA will be
displayed.

Trouble-shooting and Diagnostics 5.4
This section consists of two columns. The first column is a list of some possible instrument
conditions. The second column is a list of steps that should improve the condition. The steps
should be performed in order until the condition improves or all the steps have been tried. If
the instrument condition has not improved, contact the nearest representative or the factory
for assistance.
Trouble-shooting should be performed by qualified personnel using the proper equipment and
following all safety precautions. Whenever possible, the trouble-shooting should be accomplished with the electrical power disconnected. The instrument contains static sensitive
components so care should be taken to observe anti-static procedures.

Glossary of Terms
Automatic Reset (Integration)
Automatic reset is a Tune mode parameter that will bias the proportional output(s) to compensate for process load variations. This parameter is adjustable from 0.0 to 100.0 repeats per
minute. Factory default is 0.0. The display codes are ArS1 for proportional Output 1 and/or
ArS2 for proportional Output 2. The Auto Tune feature will select the ArS1 setting for a
heating output.
Automatic Transfer
Automatic transfer is a feature selected in the Program mode that will allow the instrument to
shift from the Manual to the Control mode of operation automatically when the process value
reaches setpoint.
Auto Tune
Auto Tune automatically determines the Tune mode parameters for a proportional heating
output assigned to Output 1. The Ziegler - Nichols method is used to determine the Tune
mode parameters.
Auto Tune Deviation Lower Limit
If AdLL = 0, when the AUTO TUNE key is pressed, the process response calculations will
occur during the time the process variable rises to the point 1/2 of the way between the
setpoint value and the process value when the key was pressed.
If AdLL > 0, when the AUTO TUNE key is pressed the process response calculations will
begin when the process value rises above the point that is the result of subtracting AdLL from
setpoint.
Auto Tune Deviation Upper Limit
If ASo = 0, the Auto Tune function will not operate unless the process value is < the SP-
AduL value. This can be useful to prevent unwanted retuning of the process when the
process value (PV) is > the Setpoint value minus the AduL value.
If ASo = 1, Auto Tune will function if the PV is within the AduL value from setpoint. However,
if the PV is > SP-AduL, the heating output will be turned off until the
PV < SP-AduL. At this point the heating output will be turned on so the control repsonse can
be calculated.
In order for AduL to have an effect on Auto Tuning, the AduL value should be greater than
20 degrees or 5 % of the setpoint value, whichever is greater, to initiate the Auto Tune
function.
SP
Auto Tune will not initiate if PV is above
this line, when the AUTO TUNE key is depressed
SP - AduL
Auto Tune will function if the PV is within
this area (below SP-AduL), when the AUTO TUNE
key is depressed

Auto Tune Time Limit
This feature is used to automatically abort the Auto Tune function if the control response
calculations have not been completed within the time allotted.
Balanceless Transfer
This feature prevents changes in proportional output when changing from the Manual to
Control mode of operation. When transferring from the manual mode to the control mode, the
proportional outputs will be "Balanceless" regardless of whether the unit is inside or outside
the proporitonal band. This only holds true if the Auto Reset (ArSt) value is greater than 0.
Bumpless Transfer
This feature prevents changes in proportional outputs when changing from the Control to the
Manual mode of operation.
Choice of Control Algorithm
This Program mode parameter is used to select the control algorithm that will be used for Auto
Tune calculations.
Control selections are PID, PI, or P only . PI is the factory default.
Control Algorithm
A pre-programmed series of instructions that are used by the instrument when
determining the status of the output(s).
Control Response Criteria
This Program mode parameter selects the type of control response desired for the application
when using the Auto Tune feature.
The control response selections are from 1.0 for 1/4 wave decay response to 2.0 which is a
damped response.

This Tune mode parameter is used to select the on/off cycle time for time proportioning
outputs (Ct1 for Output 1 and/or Ct2 for Output 2). (See page 41, Section 4.5)
When using the Position Proportioning option, Ct1 must be selected for the stroke time of the
motor.
Deviation Band Alarm (Output 3)
This feature can be used to provide an indication that the process value has deviated outside
of a selectable deviation tolerance band value that strattles the setpoint. If in the Program
mode out3 is selected as 5, an assigned output will be off as the process value is within the
deviation band about the setpoint. The output will turn on if the process value falls below or
goes above the deviation band about the setpoint. The amount of the deviation band is
selected in the Tune mode parameter, dbAL.

If out3 is selected as 6, an assigned output will be on as long as the process value is within
the deviation band about the setpoint. The output will turn off if the process value falls below
or goes above the deviation band about the setpoint. The deviation band value is selected in
the Tune mode, dbAL.

Display Filter Factor
This Program mode parameter is used to dampen the process value displayed. The selections range from 1 through 20, the value represents the number of process scans that will be
averaged for the display value. Factory default is 1, no filtering.
SP
Engineering Units Upper and Engineering Units Lower
These Program mode parameters are used with volt, millivolt, and milliamp inputs. The
Engineering Units Upper Euu should be selected as the value to be displayed when the input
is at maximum. Th Engineering Units Lower EuL should be selected as the value to be
displayed when the input is at minimum.
First Output Position
This parameter is adjustable from -1000 to 1000 units and represents a shift or offset of the
on-off actuation points or proportional band for the first output relative to the normal position.
For example, a negative value could be used to offset an expected overshoot. First
OutputPosition also shifts the proportional band with respect to the process value range
output of which integral action is inhibited. Factory default is 0. Display code is FoP.
Hysteresis for Alarm Outputs
This Program mode parameter is used to create a deadband for the alarm output(s). For
example, a process direct alarm is selected for 200 °/units with a HyAo set for 20°/units. The
output assigned will turn on when the process value exceeds 210°/units. The output will turn
off when the process value goes below 190°/units.
Be aware that this parameter will also effect the output action if used as a Deviation or
Deviation Band Alarm. (i.e.the Deviation Band will be increased by the amount of HyAo
selected)
This parameter is adjustable from 0 to 300 °/units. The factory default is 3. The display code
is HyAo.
PAGE 71
Hysteresis for Control Outputs
This Program mode parameter is used to create a deadband for On/Off control outputs. This
parameter is adjustable from 0 to 300 degrees/units. Factory default is 3. This feature can be
used to reduce the cycling of the on/off outputs. The display code is HyCo.
Input Correction
This parameter is used to adjust the process variable value to compensate for sensor errors.
This Program mode parameter is selectable from -300 to + 300 degrees/units. The factory
default is 0. The display code is iCor.
Manual Reset
This parameter is adjustable from -1500 to 1500 units representing a manual shift of proportional band(s) relative to the normal position. Manual reset is intended to be used when
automatice reset is not used to allow compensation for deviations from setpoint which remain
after the process has stabilized. Factory default is 0. Increasing the value increases the
process variable, i.e. if the process variable stabilized too low, increase the manual set.
Integral action, and conversely reset-windup inhibit apply over the same process value range
regardless of the manual reset value. The display code is rSt.
Process Filter Factor
This Program mode parameter is used to dampen the process value used to calculate output
action. The process value is averaged to dampen the control outputs. This parameter is
adjustable from 1 to 20 . Factory default is 1. The display code is PFF.
Process Retransmission Output
This parameter allows for a linear milliamp proportional output relative to the process value.
The current output may be scaled over a range selectable by the user. This output can be
used to supply the process variable signal to remote chart recorders, panel meters, and data
logger instruments.
PAGE 72
Process Rounding
This Tune mode parameter is used to determine the step size of the process value that will be
seen on the display. This feature can be used to reduce display fluctuation. This parameter
is adjusted from 1 to 100 degrees/units. The factory default is 1,no rounding (e.g. Process
rounding = 2, Process Value Display - 4, -2, 0, 2, 4, etc.).
Process Variable
The process variable refers to the condition of the process being measured (sensed). The
instrument will accept process inputs other than temperature (pressure, level, flow, etc.).
For the Auto Tune feature to work, the process value must be temperature from a
thermocouple or an RTD.
Proportional Band
This Tune mode parameter selects the span of the proportional output range. This parameter
is adjustable from 1 to 3000 degrees/units. Factory default is 100. If Output 1 is selected as a
proportional output, a display code of Pb1 will be seen. If Output 2 is selected as a proportional output, the display code will be Pb2. The Pb1 value will be automatically selected if the
Auto Tune function is used.
Rate (Derivative)
This Tune mode parameter is adjustable from 0.0 to 10.0 minutes. The value selected
represents how much sooner a PID instrument will recover from a process upset than a PI
only instrument will recover to the same process upset. If Output 1 is selected as a proportional output, rt1 will be displayed. If Output 2 is selected as a proportional output then rt2 will
be displayed. The rt1 value will be automatically selected if the Auto Tune function is used.
Second Output Position
This Tune mode parameter is used to shift (deviate) the Output 2 operating point from
setpoint. This parameter is adjustable from -1000 to + 1000 degrees/units. Factory default is
0. The display code is SoP.
Setpoint Ramp Rate
This Program mode parameter provides a rate of change control of the instrument setpoint
value. This parameter is used to inhibit sudden upsets in the instrument control caused by
large setpoint changes. This feature also creates a soft start when the instrument power is
turned on. The instrument will read the process value at the time the power was turned on as
the setpoint value. A rate of change ramp will change the internal setpoint to the setpoint
selected.
