A L-J-K-S-R-T-B-N-E-W thermocouple type• Connect the wires with the polarity as shown• Use always compensation cable of the correct type

for the thermocouple used• The shield, if present, must be connected to a prop-

er earth.

B For Pt100 resistance thermometer

• If a 3 wires system is used, use always cables of thesame diameter (1mm2 min) (line 20 Ω/lead maximumresistance)

• When using a 2 wires system, use always cables of thesame diameter (1,5mm2 min) and put a jumper betweenterminals 11 and 12

C For ∆T (2x RTD Pt100) SpecialAWhen the distance between the controller and the

sensor is 15 mt. using a cable of 1.5 mm2 diame-ter, produces an error on the measure of 1°C (1°F).

R1 + R2 must be <320Ω

Wire resistance 150Ω max.

For 3 wires only.Maximum line resistance 20Ω/line

3.2 CONFIGURATION CODING

A 4+4 index code follows themodel of the controller.The code has to be set to con-figure the controller(see chapter 3.1 page 19).

E.g. Enter the code 0320 to choose:- T/C type J input with range

0...600°C.- Single PID control algorithm,

reverse action.- Relay output.

E.g. Enter the code 2301 to choose:- AL1 absolute, active high;- AL2 absolute, active low;- AL3 Used by Timer;- Local + 2 Stored Setpoints with

tracking function.

4.4.2.1 AUTOMATIC TUNE

The Fuzzy-Tuning determinesautomatically the best PID termwith respect to the processbehaviour.

The controller provides 2 types of“one shot” tuning algorithm, thatare selected automatically accord-ing to the process condition whenthe operation is started.

#tune This type is selected when, atthe start of the autotune oper-ation, the PV is far from theSetpoint of more than 5% of thespan. This method has the bigadvantage of fast calculation,with a reasonable accuracy inthe term calculation.

This type is selected when the PVis close to the SP Setpoint.This method has the advantageof a better accuracy in the termcalculation with a reasonablespeed calculation.

The Fuzzy Tuning determinesautomatically the best methodto use to calculate the PIDterm, according the processconditions.

By a sole PID control algorithm, the con-troller handles two different outputs, oneof these performs the Heat action, the otherone the Cool action.It is possible to overlap the outputs.

The dead band parameter #d.bnd, is the zonewhere it is possible to separate or overlapthe Heat and Cool actions.

The Cool action can be adjusted using therelative cool gain parameter #r.C.Ga.

To limit the Heat and Cool outputs the para-meters #0p. H and #0p.HC can be used.

When there is an overlap, the displayed out-put # OUt shows the algebric sum of theHeat and Cool outputs.

4 - Operations

When the Start-up is in Holdphase, if the local Setpointbecomes lower than the Start-up Setpoint or if the operatingmode changes to manual, theStart-up function passes to the“Off” phase.

There are two possibilities:A Start-up Setpoint #sp.sU

lower than the localSetpoint.The “Hold” phase startswhen the process variablePV achieves the #sp.sU(with a tolerance of 1 digit).

B Start-up Setpoint #sp.sUgreater than or equal tothe local Setpoint.

When the process variable PVachieves the local Setpoint (with atolerance of 1 digit), the Start-upfunction passes directly to the “Off”phase.

If, at the controller power-on, theprocess variable PV is greater thanthe lowest between the #sp.sUand the working Setpoint , thenext phase (“Hold” or “Off”) willbe executed instead of the “Limy”phase.

During the “Limy” and “Hold”phases the Ö led is on.

6.2 DIGITAL INPUT COMMANDS

A function is assigned, throughthe configuration procedure toeach IL1, IL2 and IL3 digitalinput. (see the parameters set-ting at tab. 1 at page 31).The configured function is acti-vated when the digital input (freevoltage contact or open collec-tor output) is in the On state(closed). It is deactivated by set-ting the input to the Off state(open).The activation of the functionthrough the digital input has thehighest priority than through thekeypad or through the serialcommunication.

7 PROGRAMMED SETPOINT

INTRODUCTIONThe controller supplied with theSetpoint programmer option (mod.Q3-3… &) offers the functionali-ty to define, store, display and exe-cute a program consisting in theSetpoint profile in time.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS• 1 program, 8 segments/program• start, stop, hold etc, com-

mands from the keypad• time base in seconds, min-

utes or hours• continuous or up to 1…9999

time cycling of the program• 1 OP3 digital output with the

state profile defined by theprogram

• setting of the maximumallowed deviation from theSetpoint

The program consists of asequence of segments.

For each segment, it is specified:• the Setpoint

to reach#s.p.

• the duration of the segment#t.i.

• the state of the OP3 output

The program consists of:• 1 initial segment named O• 1 end segment named f• 1…6 normal segments

alvayspresent

Initial segment - 0Its main purpose is to define thevalue the process variable hasto maintain before starting theprogram.

End segment - FIts main purpose is to define thevalue the process variable hasto maintain at the end of the pro-gram and until further changesof Setpoint.

Normal segments - ===These segments build up theprofile program. There are 3types of segments:

7.2 SETPOINT PROGRAMMER OPERATION

7.2.2 RE-START OF A PROGRAM AFTER A POWER FAILURE

The parameter #fail . spec-ifies the behaviour of the pro-grammer at power up (see page58). Selected between the fol-lowing 3 choices:

#Cont Continue

#res Reset

#raMp Ramp

If #Cont is selected,the execution of the programstarts from the point reached atthe power failure time.

All the parameters, likeSetpoint and the remainingtime are restored at the valuesthey had at power off.

If #res is selected, at power on the program endsand goes back to local mode.

If #raMp is selected, the execution of the programstarts from the point reached atthe power failure time.In this case, the programs con-tinue with PV reaching SV witha ramp, whose slope corre-sponds to the one of the seg-ment running at the power off.
