Note: When a function is selected to operate through digital
input, the controller does not respond to the equivalent function
command given in the frontal keypad.
POTENTIOMETER INPUT
The potentiometer of valve position can be seen in the controller. It
must be 10 k
Ω
and connections must be as Figure 07 shows. The
potentiometer reading does not power the valve position for control
effects, it only informs the operator the valve current position. The
control action happens regardless of the potentiometer.
In order to visualize the potentiometer reading, the “Pot” parameter
must be enabled. When enabled (YES), the potentiometer position is
displayed on the prompt screen that shows the Manipulated Variable
(MV). When the potentiometer visualization is selected, the MV is not
shown anymore, and the percentage value of valve opening is shown
instead. The MV screen is the second prompt of the main cycle.
ALARM CONFIGURATION
The controller has 2 independent alarms. They can be programmed
to operate with nine different functions, represented in 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.
•
Resistance fail
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.

Table 3 – Alarm functions
SPAn is meant to be the Alarm Setpoints “SPA1”, “SPA2”.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Resistance fail
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.
•
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 values is above the value defined in
the alarm Setpoint.
•
Differential (or Band)
In this function, the parameters “SPA1
SPA1
SPA1
SPA1”, “SPA2
SPA2
SPA2
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.
