Section 3 SET-UP MODE : ACCESS AND OPERATION
The controller requires various user settings that determine how the controller will function or operate. These settings are called Parameters.
For the convenience and ease of operation, the various parameters have been grouped separately depending upon the functions they define. Each such group is called a PAGE. Each PAGE is assigned a unique number, called PAGE NUMBER, for its access. The parameters contained in a PAGE are presented in a fixed sequence to the user for setting. The user can access a desired PAGE by entering its PAGE NUMBER and can select and set the desired parameter values.
PARAMETER PROMPTS
Each parameter has an identifying tag, called the Parameter Prompt. While setting parameter values in a PAGE, the parameter prompt is always displayed on the Lower Readout and its current value is displayed on the Upper Readout.
ACCESSING A PAGE
Each PAGE is accessible only from the MAIN Display Mode. That is, from the current PAGE, the user must return to the MAIN Display Mode before the other PAGE can be accessed.

OP2 Function : Control
Parameter Description
HYSTERESIS This parameter value sets a differential (dead) band between the ON and OFF control states. Keep it large enough to avoid frequent switching of the load without losing the desired control accuracy.
CONTROL LOGIC Normal The Output remains ON for Temperature below Setpoint and OFF otherwise.
Reverse The Output remains ON for Temperature above Setpoint and OFF otherwise.
OP2 Function : Blower
BLOWER / COMPRESSOR HYSTERESIS This parameter value sets a differential (dead) band between the blower ON and OFF states. Keep it large enough to avoid frequent switching of the load without losing the desired control accuracy.
BLOWER / COMPRESSOR TIME DELAY
This parameter is mainly used for Compressor Load. For compressor switching it is desired that once the compressor is switched OFF, there must be some time delay before it is switched ON again. The switching ON of the compressor should therefore take place only if both the conditions, that is; the time delay is elapsed and PV is above the Setpoint, are satisfied.
The `Time Delay’ parameter allows the user to set the optimum time delay that ensures both, the enhanced compressor life and the desired control accuracy.
Set this parameter value to zero if no time delay is required.

Section 6 CONTROL PARAMETERS : PAGE-10

Refer Table 6.1 for the parameter descriptions and settings.

Table 6.1
Parameter Description
CONTROL MODE Select appropriate Control Algorithm suited for process requirement.
On-Off The control algorithm tends to maintain the Temperature at SP by either switching the output fully OFF or fully ON. The On and Off switching is differentiated by the user settable Hysteresis’. PID The control algorithm uses a 2nd order equation to compute the% Output Power’ required to maintain the Temperature at SP. The constants P, I, D are automatically set by the controller by issuing Self-Tune command.
HYSTERESIS (For On-Off Control only) Sets differential (dead) band between On- Off switching of the control output (Relay/SSR).
COMPRESSOR TIME DELAY (For On-Off Control only) This parameter is mainly used for Compressor Load. For compressor switching it is desired that once the compressor is switched OFF, there must be some time delay before it is switched ON again. The switching ON of the compressor should therefore take place only if both the conditions, that is; the time delay is elapsed and PV is above the Setpoint, are satisfied.
Set this parameter value to zero if no time delay is required.
CYCLE TIME (For PID Control only) For time-proportionating PID control, the output power is implemented by adjusting the ratio of ON : OFF time of a fixed time interval, called `Cycle Time’.
Larger Cycle Time ensures longer Relay/SSR life but may result in poor control accuracy and vice-a-versa. The recommended Cycle Time values are; 20 sec. for Relay and 1 sec. for SSR .

OmniX+
Parameter Description
PROPORTIONAL BAND (For PID Control only)
The Proportional Band is defined in terms of process value deviation from the setpoint (also known as process error). Within the band the output power is varied from maximum (100%) at maximum deviation to minimum (0%) at minimum deviation. The process value thus tends to stabilize at a point within the band where the power input equals losses. Larger Band results in better stability but larger deviation.
The Proportional Band value is automatically calculated by controller’s Self- Tune feature and seldom requires any manual adjustments.
INTEGRAL TIME (For PID Control only) The application of proportional band alone results in process value stability within the band but away from the setpoint. This is called steady state Offset Error. The integral action is incorporated for automatic removal of offset error with minimum oscillations.
The Integral Time value is automatically calculated by controller’s Self-Tune feature and seldom requires any manual adjustments.
Setting the value 0 cuts-off Integral action.
DERIVATIVE TIME (For PID Control only) It is desired that the controller should respond to any dynamic changes in the process conditions (like variations in load, power supply fluctuations, etc.) fast enough so as to retain the process value near the setpoint. The Derivative Time determines how strong the output power will change in response to the rate of change of measured PV.
The Derivative Time value is automatically calculated by controller’s Self- Tune feature and seldom requires any manual adjustments.
Setting the value 0 cuts-off Derivative action.

Parameter Description
AUXILIARY CONTROL SETPOINT (Available if OP-2 function is Control)
This parameter value sets an offset to the Control Setpoint (SP) to define another (Auxiliary) setpoint either above (positive value) or below (negative value) the SP.
BLOWER CONTROL SETPOINT (Available if OP-2 function is Blower)
This parameter value sets a positive (+) offset to the SP to define the Blower / Compressor Setpoint’. SETPOINT LOCKING This parameter allows locking the adjustment of the SP on Lower Readout in Main Display Mode. For Locking, set the parameter value to Yes’. This allows the operator to protect the SP from any unauthorized changes.

Parameter Description
TIMER ENABLE Yes Soak Timer function is enabled. No Soak Timer function is disabled.
TIME UNITS Select the time units for Soak Time Duration.
TIME DURATION The preset time value in selected units for the Soak Timer.
TIMER-START BAND After issuance of start command, the timer starts counting down once the Temperature enters the band around SP defined by this parameter value.
HOLDBACK STRATEGY None Temperature based timer pause is not required. Up Timer is paused if Temperature is outside holdband above SP. Down Timer is paused if Temperature is outside holdband below SP. Both Timer is paused if Temperature is outside holdband either above or below SP.
HOLD BAND Sets the temperature limit(s) with respect to the SP for the timer to pause. The timer stops counting down so long as the Temperature is outside this band value.

Basic Operation
The Soak Timer is essentially a preset timer that can be configured to run as :
(a) A Free Running Timer by setting timer Start Band’ to 0. That is, the timer starts counting down immediately upon issuance of Start Command by the user and continues until set time is elapsed. (b) A Setpoint Dependent Timer. That is, after issuance of Start Command, the count down starts only after the PV reaches within timerStart Band’. The timer start band is a symmetrical band centered around the SP. For example, for a start band of 2°C and SP value of 100°C, the count down begins once the PV reaches a value within 98°C (SP Start Band) to102°C (SP + Start Band). Note that, once the PV enters Start Band’, the timer continues to run regardless of whether the PV remains within or outside theStart Band’.

User Manual

Hold Band Operation The timer is also provided with a Hold Band’ that can be enabled to make sure that the timer counts down only while the PV is within theHold Band’. That is, the timer pauses (holds counting down) whenever the PV is outside the Hold Band’. TheHold Band’ is set with respect to the SP and can be set above or below or above and below the SP. For example, a 5 °C Hold Band below the SP (say,100°C) will force the timer in pause state whenever the PV is equal or less than 95°C (SP – Hold Band).
Power-fail Recovery Modes The timer facilitates 3 different power-fail recovery modes, viz., Continue, Re-start and Abort. In Continue mode, the timer resumes to execute the balance soak time once the PV is detected within Hold Band. In Re-start mode, the timer executes the complete set time all over again. In Abort mode, the timer stops execution until a start command is issued.
End-of-Soak Events
The output Relay/SSR modules, OP2 and/or OP3, can be configured as End-of-Soak Alarm with a settable alarm duration. That is, upon completion of Soak Time execution, the Relay energizes (say, to activate a buzzer) for the set alarm duration.
Additionally, the controller provides `Output-Off’ strategy that can be enabled to force the control output OP1 off upon Endof-Soak. The output becomes active again after issuance of Start Command for the execution of a new Soak Time Cycle.
