CODE 10 - Digital input - Standard for I/O5, I/O6 and

key.

Selects R&S program 1. Used to alternate between the main

Setpoint and a second Setpoint defined by the R&S program 1.

Closed: selects program 1
Opened: uses main Setpoint

CODE 11 - Analog control output - I/O5 only. 0-20 mA control

output.

CODE 12 - Analog control output - I/O5 only. 4-20 mA control

output.

CODES 13 to 16 - Analog retransmission. I/O5 only. Configures

I/O5 to output a 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA analog signal proportional to

PV or SP.

REMOTE SETPOINT
The remote Setpoint (SP) is enabled by an external digital signal in

either I/O5 or I/O6, when programmed with the code 8 (Select remote

SP input).
An external resistor shunt of 100 Ω is required between the terminals

7 and 8.

ALARMS FUNCTION
The controller has 4 alarms. The alarms can the configured to

operate in any of the nine functions listed on Table 3.
• Open sensor

It is activated whenever the input sensor is broken or disconnected.
• Event alarm

It activates alarm(s) in specific segments of the program. See item

7.2 in this manual.

• Event alarm

Detects a heater broken condition, by monitoring the load current

when the control output is activated. This alarm function requires an

optional device (option 3). Details of the "resistance fail" option can

be found in a specific documentation that is sent with the product

when the option is purchased.

No active alarm. This output can be used as a digital

output to be set by the serial communication.

Sensor Break

(input Error)

ierr

Alarm will be ON if PV sensor breaks, input signal is

out of range or Pt100 is shorted.

Event Alarm

(ramp and

Can be activated at a specific segment of ramp and

soak program.

Table 3 - Alarm functions

Where SPAn means “SPA1”, “SPA2”, “SPA2” and “SPA4”.
• Minimum value

It is activated when the measured value is below the value defined in

the alarm Setpoint.
• Maximum value

It is activated when the measured value is above the value defined in

the alarm Setpoint.
• Differential (or Band)

In this function, the parameters “SPA1”, “SPA2” represent the PV

deviation as compared to the main SP.
In a positive deviation, the differential alarm will be triggered when

the measured value is out of the range defined in:

( SP – Deviation) and (SP + Deviation)

In a negative deviation, the differential alarm will be triggered when

the measured value is within the range defined above.

• Minimum differential

It is activated when the measured value is below the value defined in.

(SP - Deviation)

• Maximum differential

It is activated when the measured value is above the value defined in:

(SP + Deviation)

ALARM TIMER FUNCTIONS
Alarms 1 and 2 can be programmed to have timer functions. The 3

modes of operation are:

1- Pulse 2- delayed actuation 3- Oscillator

The desired function can be achieved programming the parameters

“A1t1”, “A1t2”, “A2t1” and “A2t2” (see Table 4).
The LEDs associated to the alarms will light when the alarm condition

is recognized, not following the actual state of the output, which may

be temporarily OFF because of the temporization.
