Automatic Program Operation
To stop
a program, select “Stop” from the Program Operation window. When a program is stopped, the loop
set point and events will revert back to the single set point (static mode) values that were entered prior to the
program being started. Pressing the Edit icon will navigate directly to the program Entry screen so a program
can be created, edited and stored.
6.2.1 Hold/Resume Ramp/Soak Program Operation
At any time during the operation of a program, it can be manually placed into hold. This stops the program
timer; however, the MC continues operation under the current step settings at the time the program was put
into hold. To pause a program, select “Hold” from the Program menu. To resume the program from the point
in which it was paused, select “Start” from the Program menu.
NOTE:
The program will automatically be placed in hold if holdback is enabled for the step and the process
value of the selected loop deviates from set point by more than the holdback band. When the program
is in holdback, it can not be resumed by pressing the Run button. The program will automatically
resume once the process value of the selected “hold loop(s)” is within the holdback band from set point.
6.2.2 Program Mode Settings
The program settings are used to select the mode of operation for the automatic ramp/soak programs. The
program Settings screen is accessed from the Program Operation window by pressing the “Settings” icon.
The
Primary
loop selection is used to select which loop is to be used as the master loop when operating under
the “All” program mode. It is also used by the program Entry screen to default the range of the set point limit
entry and event selections.
The
Single
mode selection button allows each control loop to run independently of the others. Programs are
then downloaded separately to each loop control. The user can then individually start and stop the program in
each loop control. Any combination of loop controls can then be operated in single set point (static) mode or
automatically via the program at any given time.
The
All
mode selection button links all loop controls into a master/slave program operation. While in single set
point (static) mode, each loop control operates independently from the others. However, when an automatic
program is started, the loop defined as the “Primary” loop becomes the master and all other loops become set
point slaves. As the program runs on the master loop, the set point of all slave loops will be set to match the
set point of the primary loop for the duration of the program’s operation.
The user will be unable to manually change the loop set points of the slave loops during program operation.
However, any events tied to the slave loops can be manually turned on and off during program operation. Only
events tied to the primary loop will be controlled via the automatic ramp/soak program.
