Parameter composition

Main functions

Main functions

LBA function starts to measure time from the moment when the control output obtained by P.I.D operation becomes 0 % or 100 %. Also, from this point, this function detects heater break, sensor break, manipulator malfunction and etc by comparing the changed amount of measured value in each set time. Also, it can set the LBA dead band in order to prevent any malfunction to happen in the normal control loop.

1. When control output obtained by P.I.D operation is 100 %, LBA will be ON only when process value does not rise more than 2 ℃ in the LBA setting time
2. When control output obtained by PID operation is 0 %, LBA will be ON only when process value does not drop more than 2 ℃ in the LBA setting time

Auto tuning(AT) function

Auto tuning function measures, computes and sets the optimum P.I.D or ARW constant to the temperature control automatically. After supplying power in and while temperature is increasing, press the key and key synchronously to begin the auto tuning. When auto tuning is finished, tuning operation will be ended automatically.

ON/OFF control setting method

Usually temperature controller performs the temperature control by “PID control method” which is by the PID auto-tuning. However, ON/OFF control method is used when controlling refrigerator, fan, solenoid valve and etc. When users want to set the temperature controller as ON/OFF control mode, set the set value of proportional band as 0 in the “standard mode”. At this time, HY5 (hysteresis) parameter will be displayed. It prevents frequent ON/OFF operation with setting a proper ON/OFF operating range.

CAUTION

• If you run Auto tuning in the ON/OFF control mode, the control mode will be changed to PID.

Set data lock function

The set data lock function is used to prevent the changing of each setvalue by the front key and the activation of the auto-tuning function, i.e., prevent misoperation after setting has ended. For set data lock, display LOC by pressing the key, then set the following value in accordance with setting procedure thereby enabling data lock ON or OFF.

• 0000: No set data locked.
• 0001: Only set-value (SV) can be changed with the set data locked.
• 0010/0011: All set data locked.

Alarm Funtion

Deviation alarm

※ Each alarm could be set as below table (▲: Set-value (SV) △: alarm set- value)

Absolute alarm

Note

• Regardless of the set-value, the high or low alarm is activated at the alarm set- value.
• For the band alarm, the relay of the low alarm ( ALL ) is not activated but the relay of the high alarm ( ALH ) is activated.

HYS Selection

HYS selection in case of ON/OFF control

5L 16= 0

• According to its control direction, HYS can be set shown as below.

5L 16= 1

• Regardless of control direction, HYS can be set shown as below.

Alarm hold operation on/off

When the power is being supplied and the process value (PV) is within the alarm range, this function is used to turn off the alarm output until the process value (PV) reaches the out of the alarm range. This is used for low alarm and other applicable alarms when turning on the power and the alarm is not needed to turn on while the process value (PV) is increasing to reach the set value (SV) for first time.

Up scale and down scale

• If the process value exceeds the upper limit of input range due to upscale, etc., the process value(PV) display unit flashes overscaledisplay 「“ ”」
• If the process value becomes below the lower limit of input range due to downscale, etc., the process value(PV) display unit flashes underscale display 「“ ”」

Model number when power is on

Control direction

Reverse action (heating) or direct action (cooling) can be selected in the internal parameter (5L9).

1. Reverse [0]: Control output ON when PV < SV
2. Direct [1]: Control output ON when PV > SV

Input filter

• Input filter time can select from 5L 11.
• When PV value becomes unstable due to effects of noise, the filter helps to eliminate the unstable status (If select [0], Input filter is off)

Input scale

• In case of DCV input, it’s a setup range of input range
• Example, 5LI =0000 (1 – 5V DCV),5L 12 =100.0, 5L 13=0.0, Input scale is as follows.

Alarm delay time

• Delay time of High alarm and low alarm can set from 5L 14 and 5L 15.
• If user set it, alarm will be ON after passing delay time.
• (Turning off the alarm has nothing to do with delay time)

Anti-reset windup (ARW)

Set anti-reset windup from “A” parameter to prevent over – integral.

A = Auto (0)

A = set value

• If ARW value is too small or too big, overshoot or undershoot will happen. Please use same value as P (Proportional band)

Select set value (only for KX4S)

Select a set value ( or ) by external contact input

1. External contact input is OFF ( =OFF)
   • Display , start control according to the [Picture 1].
2. External contact input is ON ( =ON)
   • Display , start control according to the [Picture 2].

Parameter setting

Set value (S.V) setting

After completing the wiring setup and turning on the power, it shows the model and firmware version of the temperature controller for a moment then it displays the process value and the set value. This mode is called “control mode”. In “control mode”, if key is pressed then the set value in the SV display unit is blinking. The set value can be changed with using key and key and moving the placement of the digits by pressing key. After adjusting the desired value, press key to set the desired value to the set value. After setting the set value, please execute the auto-tuning by pressing key and key at the same time.

Standard mode setting

Standard mode is a setting mode that has frequently used functions by a user such as alarm parameters, ON/OFF operation, hysteresis (control operation range) and others. Each parameter can be set according to its application. But, performing the PID auto-tuning will automatically set P (proportional band), I (integral time), d (differential time), A (anti reset wind up), LbA (control loop break alarm) and etc.

Press the key continuously for 3 sec

System mode setting

System setting mode is a setting mode that a user (or an engineer) set its parameters for the first time to use it properly since KX series temperature controller has many functions.

1. In the control mode press and keys at the same time for 3 seconds to enter into the system setting mode
2. Press the key for 3 seconds to return to the control mode (PV/SV)
