Table 2 - Types of functions for the I/O channels

During the configuration of the I/O channels, only the valid options for

each channel will be shown on the display. These functions are

described below:

• off - Without function
The I/O channel programmed with code off will not be used by the

controller. Although without function, this channel is available through

the serial communication as digital I/O (command 5 MODBUS).
• a1, a2, a3, a4 – Alarm Outputs
The selected channel can be used as output to Alarms 1 to 4.

Defines that the programmed I/O channel acts as alarm outputs.

Available for all the I/O channels.
• Lbd –Loop Break Detector function.
Assigns the output of the Loop Break Detector alarm to an I/O

channel. Available to all I/O channels.
• (trL – PWM Control Output
Defines the I/O channel to be used as the PWM control output (relay

or digital pulse). Available for all the I/O channels. The digital pulse is

available on I/O5 (standard) or on I/O3 and I/O4 (when the DIO

optional is installed). Check the specifications of each channel.
• mAn - Digital Input with Auto/Manual function
Defines the I/O channel as Digital Input with the function of switching

the control mode between Automatic and Manual. Available on I/O5

(standard) or on I/O3 and I/O4 (when the DIO optional is installed).

Closed = Manual control;

Open = Automatic control

• rvn - Digital Input with RUN function
Defines channel as Digital Input with the function of

enabling/disabling the control and alarm outputs (“RvN”: YES / no).

Available for I/O5 or I/O3 and I/O4, when installed.

Closed = outputs enabled

Open = control and alarms output shut off

• rsp - Digital Input with Remote SP function
Defines channel as Digital Input with the function of selecting the

remote SP as the control setpoint. Available for I/O5 or I/O3 and

I/O4, when available.

Closed = remote SP

Open = uses main SP

• kprg - Digital Input with Hold Program function
Defines channel as Digital Input with the function of commanding the

execution of the selected setpoint profile program. Available for I/O5

or I/O3 and I/O4, when available.

Closed = Enables execution of the program

Open = Interrupts (freezes) execution of the program

Note: Even when the execution of the program is interrupted, the

control output remains active and controlling the process at the point

(Setpoint) of interruption. The program will resume its normal execution

starting from this same point when the digital input is closed.
• Pr 1 - Digital Input with function to Execute Program 1
Defines the IO channel as Digital Input with the function of

commanding the execution of the setpoing profile program 1.

Available for I/O5 or I/O3 and I/O4, when available.
Useful function for switching between the main setpoint and a

secondary one defined by the program 1.

Closed = selects program 1;

Open = selects main setpoint

• (.0.20 –0-20 mA Control Output
Available for I/O 5 only, defines the channel as a 0-20 mA control

output.
• (.4.20 - 4-20 mA Control Output
Defines the channel as a 4-20 mA control output.
• P.0.20 – 0-20 mA PV retransmission
Available for I/O 5 only, configures the channel to retransmit the

values of PV in 0-20 mA.
• P.4.20 - 4-20 mA PV retransmission
Available for I/O 5 only, configures the channel to retransmit the

values of PV in 4-20 mA.
• s.0.20 – 0-20 mA SP (Setpoint) retransmission
Available for I/O 5 only, configures the channel to retransmit the

values of SP in 0-20 mA.

s.4.20 –

4-20 mA SP (Setpoint) retransmission

Available for I/O 5 only, configures the channel to retransmit the

values of SP in 0-20 mA.
CONFIGURATION OF ALARMS
The controller has 4 independent alarms. These alarms can be

configured to operate with nine different functions, as shown in Table 3.
• off – Alarms turned off.
• ierr – Open Sensor alarms - (Loop Break)
The open sensor alarm acts whenever the input sensor is broken or

badly connected.
• rs – Program Event Alarm
Configures the alarm to act in (a) specific segment(s) of the

programs of ramps and baselines to be created by the user.
• Rfai1 – Burnt-out Resistance Alarm - (Heat Break)
Signals that the heating element has broken up. This alarm function

requires the accessory Current transformer CT1. Details for use of the

option “burnt-out resistance” are found in the specific documentation

that accompanies the product whenever this option is requested.
• lo – Alarm of Absolute Minimum Value
Triggers when the value of measured PV is below the value defined

for alarm Setpoint.
• ki – alarm of Absolute Maximum Value
Triggers when the value of measured PV is above the value defined

for alarm Setpoint.
• dif – Alarm of Differential Value
In this function the parameters “SPA1”, “SPA2”,” SPA3” and “SPA4”

represent the Deviation of PV in relation to the SP.
Using the Alarm 1 as example: for Positive SPA1 values, the

Differential alarm triggers when the value of PV is out of the range

defined for:

(SP – SPA1) to (SP + SPA1)

For a negative SPA1 value, the Differential alarm triggers when the

value of PV is within the range defined above:
• difl – Alarm of Minimum Differential Value
It triggers when the value of PV is below the defined point by:

(SP – SPA1)
