There is a big change in performance when jumping from Row K to L
.
Row
L
has roughly control
performance similar to Row A and Row K has roughly similar control performance to Row
Q
.
Performance is optimized within rows A through K or within rows L through Q .
When trying different
PID Control
numbers, move up from
185
or
243
for faster rise time or down
to reduce overshoot and oscillations. Move right from 185 or 243 to reduce overshoot and
oscillations. Move left from
185
or
243
for less damping of the temperature rise.
Pressing the
GRAPH
key when the
Schedule Setup, Page 3 of 5
, screen is
displayed will change the display to the
Schedule Setup, Page 4 of 5
. This screen
contains parameters for the
Auxiliary
thermocouple’s Peak and Average limit
settings.
Press the
1
key to toggle
ENABLE PEAK
AND AVG LIMITS
to between
ON
and
OFF
.
If set to
ON,
then the Control will monitor
temperatures and trigger an

if the peak and/or average temperature is
outside the set limits. If set to
OFF,
the Control will not monitor any peak or average temperatures.
Item 2 on the menu,
PREHT PEAK TIME DELAY
, allows the operator to set the Control to ignore the first
part of the Preheat process cycle when selecting the peak Preheat temperature. This parameter can be
set from 0 to 99.9 seconds. If this parameter is set equal to or greater than the Preheat Time, then the
Control will not evaluate any peak temperature error, and will use 0

C as the Preheat Peak Temperature
for display and communication.
Item 3 on the menu,
PREHT AVG TIME DELAY
, allows the operator to set the Control to ignore the first
part of the Preheat process cycle when calculating the average Preheat temperature. This parameter can
be set from 0 to 99.9 seconds. If this parameter is set equal to or greater than the Preheat Time, then the
Control will not evaluate any average temperature error, and will use 0

C as the Preheat Average
Temperature for display and communication.
Press the
4
through
<
keys to edit the high and low limits for the peak and average temperatures. The
number entered will be the difference between the profile set temperature and the limit. For example, if
the
AUX PREHEAT TEMPERATURE
is set to
150 °C
, and the peak temperature should not exceed
180 °C
,
then you should enter
30 °C in the
PRHEAT PEAK HI TEMP LIMIT
field.
Use the numeric keys on the front
panel to enter a number and then press the
▲ ,
GRAPH or DATA
keys to save the value. For the Reflow
process step the Control will use the
AUX REFLOW TEMPERATURE
as the reference temperature.
