2.Installation

2.1.Panel mounting

1.Prepare the panel cutout with proper dimensions (45.5 X 45.5 mm)

2.Insert the controller into the panel cutout from the front of the panel.

3.Secure the controller by pushing the mounting bracket into the controller from the rear side.

4.Tighten the screws of the mounting bracket slightly if the controller is not firmly secured

3.3.2.User Level

Process value offset correction The value to be added to the PV to correct the sensor offset error.

Control output percentage In Auto mode ( = ), it shows the percentage of power applied to the control output. In Manual mode ( = ), the upper display will show the process value (PV) and “ ” alternately and the “MA” indicator is lit. The value of percentage can be changed manually.

Control mode Select the control mode to be Off – Standby mode. Both control output and alarm are turned off. On – Auto mode (closed loop control). In this mode, the control output percentage is determined by PID algorithm or ON/OFF action. AT1 – Auto-tuning mode 1. In this mode, the controller will tune the PID parameters automatically at SV. The process will oscillate around the SV during AT1 process (Figure 6). Use AT2 mode if overshooting beyond the normal process is likely to cause damage. AT2 – Auto-tuning mode 2. In this mode, the controller will tune the PID parameters automatically at (SV-10%). The process will oscillate around (SV-10%) during AT2 process (Figure 6). Man – Manual mode (open loop control). In this mode, the control output can be set manually.
