Temperature Controller Settings
Description Item
This indicates a Eurotherm Series 2200 or Series 2400 temperature
controller is connected to the controller. A Model 409 Temperature
controller may contain multiple Eurotherm controller channels. Temperature Control icon
A GRESIII board or Model 494.47 Dual UART/Encoder card is
required to support a temperature controller.
Type: Enter the name of the temperature controller as desired.
Interlock Temperature (deg C) Define the default temperature. This
temperature will be sent to the temperature controller whenever the
station is interlocked or not loaded.
Use Interlock Temperature: Select True to use the interlock
temperature feature.
Com Timeout Delay (sec): Enter the amount of time to wait for
communication time-out with a temperature controller before reporting
an error.
Serial Port: Select the serial port where you will connect the
temperature controller.
If a GRESIII board is used, you must set the baud rate for the serial
port to 9600.
Channels: Specifies the number of temperature controllers on that
will share the serial port. For example, a Model 409 Temperature
controller may contain multiple Eurotherm temperature controllers
that all share the same serial port.
For FTIIm Systems–The maximum number of temperature controllers
that can be supported is 16, four on each of the four GRES ports.
Since RSCs must be on an interlock chain numerically equal to their
port number (Intlk 1 = Port 1, etc.), a station on interlock X will not
be able to use an RSC if there is a temperature controller on port X.
Name: Describes this resource as it will appear in Station Builder
resource lists when opened against an .hwi file. Analog Output icon
Changing this name may invalidate existing station configurations.
