Step 2 Loop 1 set point = 400
Time = 1 hour
This step is the soak step at 400 degrees for one hour since the set point is the same as the previous
step 1. No wait or delta is programmed on this step.
Step 3 Loop 1 set point = 100
Time = 0
Wait Type (Decrease) = monitor inputs 1, 2, 3, 4 selected
Wait set point = 100
Delta Loop = loop 1
Delta SP = 50
Once the soak step is complete and step 3 is reached, the program will enter the wait condition and
wait for each of the four monitor inputs to fall below 100 degrees. During the wait condition, the Delta
SP will be subtracted from the highest monitor point and the result will be set to loop 1 set point. Once
the wait condition is met, the delta control function will be turned off and loop 1 set point will become
the program specified set point, i.e., 100 degrees which completes the program.
6.1.4 Setting Jump Steps
This feature allows the program to
‘jump’ between different steps within itself. When a jump is programmed on
a step, the program will first execute the step as a normal step; however, once the step time is complete, the
program will jump to the specified ‘jump step’ rather than continuing on to the next step. After all of the
programmed jumps have been completed, the program will then continue to the next sequential step in the
program without making any further jumps.
To program a jump, scroll to the bottom of the step data list on the Entry screen. The jump step and cycle count
are listed below the loop set points. Enter the step number that you want the program to jump to when the step
is complete along with the total number of times the jump is to be made.
Jump to Step: Sets the step number that the program will jump to upon the completion of the step. The jump
will only occur if the cycle count is greater than zero. The step number can be a previous step
number, in order to cycle back to a previous portion of the program, or it can be set to make
the program skips steps by jumping further ahead in the program.
