IMPROVING CONTROL ACCURACY

The following functions are to assist engineers with machine development, commissioning and troubleshooting.

Using the CheK Control accuracy monitor

SP1.P

To start the monitor select

ON

 

Note: During monitoring either return to normal operation

 

p r o

Poor control may be due to incorrectly sized heaters. SP1.P (Level 2) constantly displays the output percentage power applied, which at normal setpoint should ideally be within 20 - 80% to achieve stable control.

CONTROL ACCURACY MONITOR

CHEK

 

This measures the control stability, to within 0.1 °C/°F.

The monitor is started using CheK (Level 3) and the variance (deviation), maximum and minimum temperature

are displayed and constantly updated in
