RAMP-SOAK

This feature enables the controller to ramp up or down from current temperature to a target setpoint at a pre-determined rate. It then controls at the target setpoint for an adjustable soak period before switching off the heat output.

Notes

In Ramp on configuration, if power is removed from the controller, the Ramp will re-start when power is restored.

The Ramp hold option suspends the ramp at its last value.

If no Soak period has been set, control at target setpoint continues indefinitely.

SP2 deviation alarms follow the ramp setpoint and can be used to alarm “out of limits” ramp rate.

WARNING

The Soak timer is triggered when the ramp setpoint reaches the target setpoint. If the ramp rate is set too fast for the process, the Soak timer will be triggered before the process temperature reaches the target setpoint.
