It will not be possible to change the operative mode (status) of any selected zones: 

 

 

Figure 88 

 
If any digital inputs is active, are reported also in the alarm pages. 

 

The digital outputs (from the temperature controller to the exterior) are: 

 

OUT-1

: all the temperatures are in tolerance  and there is not any alarm active.  The 

parameter for the commutation no-nc is “OUTPUT 1 (enabling signal) logical level” Idx 18 

(refer to paragraph  6.14).  The zones in “OFF”, “MAN”, “SLAVE” or “CHECK” mode are not 
considered. 

 

OUT-2

: emergency due to a high temperature or to a serious problem: missing phase, 

damaged SSR, interrupted heater, fuse and TC failure. Fuse and thermocouple are masked 

at the start-up: will be signalled only if not present in the initial phase.  The parameter for 

the commutation no-nc is “OUTPUT 2 (alarm signal) logical level” Idx 19 (refer to paragraph 

6.14).

Supervisory software update 

If any update for supervisory software is available, follow this procedure. Copy the .zip update 

file in a USB memory stick.  

   Note: The temperature controllers with software release preceding version 2.07.40 project 

3.07 firmware 3.3, are not provided with the additional features included in revision 02.  
In order to upgrade these controllers it is required to update the software and replace 
the hardware. The new software rev.2.0 is compatible with previous hardware, but the 
new features are not  operative.  

Close the supervisory software (paragraph 6.3.2). 

Export the historical data and alarms, if you need those (refer to paragraph 6.16.2 and  6.17). 

Save the current recipe (refer to paragraph 6.11.1). 

Close the supervisory software (refer to paragraph 6.3.2). 

Start “Project Manager” with the icon 

. Then “Project”, Import”.
