SUB-ZERO PT244-T On-Off Temperature Controller User Manual

SUB-ZERO PT244-T On-Off Temperature Controller

Introduction

A proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID controller or three-term controller) is a control loop feedback mechanism widely used in industrial control systems and a variety of other applications requiring continuously modulated control. A PID controller continuously calculates an error value as the difference between the desired setpoint (SV) and a measured process variable (PV) and applies a correction based on proportional, integral, and derivative terms (denoted P, I, and D respectively) which give the controller its name. PT244-T is a two-set point PID controller. It is available in the touch & keypad versions. Customized iconic display interprets status easily.

Working

Auto tuning

The Auto-tuning function automatically computes and sets the proportional band (P), Integral time (I), and Derivative time (D) as per process characteristics.

• While Auto-tune is in progress “AUTO” led will turn ON.
• After Auto-tuning is complete the “AUTO” led will turn OFF.

If auto-tuning is not complete after 3-4 cycles, it is suspected to fail. In this case, check the wiring & parameters such as the control action, input type, etc. Carry out the auto-tuning again, if there is a change in setpoint or process parameters.

Note: In Auto Tuning running time, the user can not change the parameter value.

ON/OFF control action (For reverse mode)

The relay is ‘ON’ up to the set temperature and cuts” OFF” above the set temperature. As the temperature of the system drops, the relay is switched ‘ON’ at a temperature lower than the set point.

HYSTERESIS: The difference between the temperature at which the relay switches ‘OFF’ is the hysteresis or dead band.

Dwell Time

A dwell timer is used to control a process at a fixed temperature for a defined period. Once the process reaches the setpoint, the dwell timer starts to count until time out. After the time completes, control output goes OFF and auxiliary output energizes as an alarm.

Note

1. The countdown timer is displayed on the lower display. Once total time elapsed lower display will show ” “. (Not applicable for PT244-K)
2. DWL icon LED blinking indicates that the dwell timer is in progress. It switches to continuous ‘ON’ when the dwell timer is over.
3. If Dwell time is programmed as OFF, it will disable the dwell timer.
4. When soaking in progress & dwell time is modified, new dwell time is applicable.
5. The dwell period can be reduced or increased when the timer is running. if it is reduced to meet the time elapsed. the timer will change to the end state.
6. Once the timer output was energized it can be reset with the Reset key.

Initial Display when Power is ON

When power is On, the entire display part will flash for 3 sec, the software version will flash for 3 sec, and then enter into RUN mode.

1. Entire display Part.
2. Run Mode.

Parameter Setting Mode

Parameter: Function: To set control1 set point

• Press & hold the key for 2 seconds.

The display will show. Users can change the value using the UP/ DOWN keys. Holding the key will change the value at a faster rate. Press the key to store the desired value & move on to the next parameter.( For 2 relays / Dwell). Set value also can be stored by pressing Key.

Parameter: Function: To set control2 set point. (For 2 Relays)

This parameter is prompted only if Relay 2 is configured in

1. As absolute auxiliary control or as an alarm (High/Low) mode.
2. As deviation auxiliary control or as a deviation alarm mode.

Note: If set to OFF, will not be shown in the SP setting.

Parameter: Function: Sets the dwell time.

• This parameter is prompted only if Relay 2 is configured in as “ “.
• This parameter is prompted only if the parameter in is configured as . (Only for Single Relay)
• For dwell timer operation please refer Working section.

LEVEL1 Parameter

Press & hold the key for 4 seconds to enter into the Level1 parameter setting( will flash). When releasing the key, will flash. Press the UP/DOWN keys to modify the set value and to go to the next parameter by pressing a key. Press the key to save the set value and to come out of the parameter setting after changing the set value.

Parameter: Function: Sets the type of input sensor.

While changing the sensor type  parameters of level1 will reset accordingly.

For the type of input sensor & range please refer “Input types & Input range” table.

For J-type sensor

Parameter: Function: Sets input correction.

In the time it may be possible that the display may be offset by a degree or so. To compensate for this error, the user may need to add or minus the degrees required to achieve the correct temperature.

Example: The temperature on the display is 28OC, whereas the actual temperature is 30OC. The user will have to set the ” ” parameter to 2OC, which means that once out of the programming mode, the temperature on display will be 30OC (28OC+ 2OC).

Parameter: Function: Sets the lower limit of PV input.

• Sets the minimum limit for set point adjustment. It can be set from the minimum specified range of the selected sensor to the HSV-1 value.
• Once set at a particular value, this will not allow the set point to go below this value.
• When changing the setting value and SV < LSV, SV will reset as LSV.

For J-type sensor

Parameter: Function: Sets the upper limit of PV input.

• Sets the maximum limit for set point adjustment. It can be set from the LSV+1 value to the maximum specified range of the selected sensor.
• Once set at a particular value, this will not allow the set point to go above this value.
• When changing the setting value and SV > HSV, SV will reset as HSV.

For J-type sensor

Parameter: Function: To set Dwell Timer.
(Only for Single Relay)

• When Set to YES Dwell timer is enabled.

Note: When selected dwell time can be set in Set Mode.

Parameter: Function: To set maximum allowable high-temperature limit. (only for a Single relay)

Example: If this parameter is set to 700OC and the temperature reaches or goes above 700OC, the display will show a (High Temp.) alarm indicating that the temperature has reached or gone above the value set in this parameter.

Note: Ht fault will be ignored at every power ON.

(Message on display)

Parameter: Function: To set minimum allowable low-temperature limit. (only for a Single relay)

Example: If this parameter is set to -40OC and the temperature reaches or goes below -40OC, the display will show a (Low temp) alarm indicating that the temperature has reached or gone below the value set in this parameter.

(Message on display)

Parameter: Function: Sets control action for relay2. (only For 2 Relay)

This parameter is used to set the required control action for relay 2 as,

= No action

• = Reverse
• = Forward
• = Dwell time

Parameter: Function: Set the hysteresis for ON-OFF action in Control2. (only For 2 Relays)

This parameter will be prompted only if the selected control action is rE (reverse) or Fd (forward) in the setting. It sets the deadband between ON & OFF switching of the output.

Example: (For Fd control): If the set point is set at 100OC and hysteresis is set at 2OC, then when the system reaches 100OC, the heater relay will go OFF. Since the hysteresis is 2OC, the heater relay will get ON (restart) at 102OC (100OC +2OC).

Parameter: Function: Sets the alarm type. ( only For 2 Relay)

It’s applicable when is (reverse) or (forward). This parameter will be prompted only if the selected control action is rE (reverse) or Fd (forward) in the setting. It sets the deadband between ON & OFF switching of the output.

Example: (For Fd control): If the set point is set at 100OC and hysteresis is set at 2OC, then when the system reaches 100OC, the heater relay will go OFF. Since the hysteresis is 2OC, the heater relay will get ON (restart) at 102OC (100OC +2OC).
