DCP200 Profile Controller & Recorder - Product Manual

Loops Segments

A Loop Segment goes back to a specified segment in the current profile. This action is repeated for the required number of times (1 to 9999) before the profile continues onwards. More than one Loop Segment can be used in a profile, but they must not cross.

Figure 40. Run/Hold & Hold Segments

A Hold during a segment maintains the current setpoint value. Once the hold condition is stopped the Ramp or Dwell continues. Depending on the configuration, a hold can be the started & stopped by via a key-press, breaking the signal to a Run/Hold digital input, a serial comms command or by the Auto-Hold feature (see below).

Note:

A running profile will also hold while Manual Control is selected.

A Hold Segment is a pre-planned hold, programmed into the profile. It maintains the value of the previous segment. The profile does not continue until a Continue Trigger occurs. This can be via a key-press, a digital input signal or after waiting for a time of day (available on Recorder version only).
