DCP200 Profile Controller & Recorder - Product Manual

Process Variable Offset

The Process variable offset is used to modify the measured process variable value. Use this parameter to compensate for errors in the displayed process variable. Positive values are added to the process variable reading, negative values are subtracted. Caution: This parameter is in effect, a calibration adjustment; it must be used with care. Injudicious use could lead to the displayed value bearing no meaningful relationship to the actual process variable. There is no front panel indication of when this parameter is in use.

Settings = ±input span

Default Value = Off.

Also refer to: Input Span and Process Variable.

Profile Control Menu

If the Profiler option is fitted, a Profile Control menu is available from the Main Menu. It allows the user to select or run a profile, and then control that profile (run, hold, abort, skip to next segment etc.).

Refer to the Profiler Control Menu information in the Configuration & Use section.

Also refer to: Main Menu, Profile Setup Menu, Profiler and Profiler Mode.

Profile Events

Events are outputs that can be made active during profile segments. There are 5 possible events, each of which can be defined to be active or inactive for the duration of each segment, from the Profile Setup Menu. For end segments, events selected to be active stay on until the unit is powered down or a new profile runs. It is possible to link event outputs to certain alarm outputs in a logical AND situation.

Also refer to: Alarm Types, Logical Combinations, Profile Segments, Profile Setup Menu, Profiler and Profiler Mode

Profile Header

The profile header contains information about how the profile starts and stops, the power loss recovery action and if the profile should repeat multiple times when run.

Refer to the Profile Components information in the Profiler Option section of this manual.

Also refer to: Profile Segments, Profile Setup Menu, Profiler and Profiler Mode.

Profile Segments

Segments can be ramps, dwells, steps or special segments such as holds, ends or joins. A maximum of 255 segments are possible, shared amongst up to 64 profiles.

Refer to the Profile Components information in the Profiler Option section of this manual. Also refer to: Profile Events, Profile Setup Menu, Profiler and Profiler Mode.

Profile Setup Menu

If the Profiler option is fitted, a Profile Setup menu is available from the Main Menu. It allows the user to set the General Profile Configuration parameters that apply to all profiles (e.g. Run/hold and abort methods etc), and to create or edit the Profile Header and Profile Segment Details. Profiles can also be deleted from this menu. This menu is protected by a lock code.

Refer to the Profiler Setup Menu information in the Configuration & Use section.

Also refer to: Lock Codes, Profile Control Menu, Profile Header, Profile Segments, Profiler and Profiler Mode.
