Action after Power Is Restored
When the power is restored, every bit of the operation parameter excluding the program hold bit stored in
the data register is maintained. If the power is failed and restored while the PID module performs the
program control, the PID module starts its operation in accordance with the original PID module status
before the power failure as shown in the table below.

The program hold is
maintained. Fixed value
control is performed with
the set point (SP) at the
time that the power is
turned off.
*1: The PID module is in standby status when the control enable bit is on but the program control bit is off. While in
standby status, the PID module performs no control.
*2: While the program control is running, the PID module saves the program control status every 6 minutes after the
program control is started (after the program control bit is turned on). The program control status is also saved at
the start of each step. If the power to the PID module is turned off while the program control is running, the PID
module resumes the program control from the latest saved point.
For example, if the power to the PID module is turned off in 7 minutes after the program control is started at step
0, the PID module resumes the program control at the status (1) when the power is restored. If the power to the
PID module is turned off in 4 minutes after the program control enters step 1, the PID module resumes the
program control at the status (2) when the power is restored. If the power to the PID module is turned off in 2
minutes after the program control enters step 2, the PID module resumes the program control at the status (3),
which is the start of step 2, when the power is restored.
*3: To restart the program control from the start of step 0, turn off and on the program control bit (operation
parameter Bit3).
