Configuration

3.7 Algorithm Set Up Group

Introduction

This data deals with various algorithms in the controller and Timer functions.

The Timer section allows you to configure a time-out period and to select the timer start by either the keyboard (RUN/HOLD key) or Alarm 2. An optional digital input can also be configured to the start the timer. The timer display is selectable as either “time remaining” (see TREM) or “elapsed time” (see ET).

Alarm 1 is activated at the end of the time-out period. When the timer is enabled, it has exclusive control of the alarm 1 relay—any previous alarm 1 configuration is ignored. At time-out, the timer is ready to be activated again by whatever action has been configured.

The CONTROL ALGORITHM lets you select

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the type of control that is best for your

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

process.

 

 

 

 

 

ONOF

0

 

 

ON/OFF is the simplest control type. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

output can be either ON (100 %) or OFF (0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

%). The Process Variable (PV) is compared

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with the setpoint (SP) to determine the sign

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of the error (ERROR = PV–SP). The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ON/OFF algorithm operates on the sign of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the error signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Direct Acting Control, when the error

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

signal is positive, the output is 100 %; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when the error signal is negative, the output

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

is 0 %. If the control action is reverse, the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

opposite is true. An adjustable overlap

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Hysteresis Band) is provided between the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on and off states.
