Table 2 - I/O channel functions 

During the configuration of channels, only the valid options for each 

channel will be shown on the display. The description for the 

functions follows: 

 

off

 - No function 

The I/O channel programmed with code 

off

 will not be used by the 

controller. 
Note: Although without function, this channel is available through the 

serial communication (command 5 MODBUS). 

 

A1

a2

a3

a4

– Alarm output 

The selected channel can be used as output to alarms. Available for 

all the I/O channels. 

 

(trL

 - PWM control output 

Defines the channel to be used as control output (relay or digital 

pulse). Available for all the channels. The digital pulse is available  

on (when available) and I/O5. 

 

mAn

RUN

 function 

Defines channel as Digital Input with the function of enabling / disabling 

the control and alarm outputs (“

kprg

 – Digital input with 

Hold Program

 function 

Defines channel as Digital Input with the function of commanding the 

execution of the selected setpoint profile program. Available for I/O3, 

I/O4 (when available) and I/O5. 

Closed Contact = Enables execution of the program 

Opened Contact = Interrupts execution of the program 

Note:  Even when the execution of the program is interrupted, the 

control output remains active and controlling the process at the point 

(Setpoint)  of interruption. The program will resume its normal 

execution starting from this same point when the digital input is 

closed. 

 

Pr 1

 – Digital input with function to Execute Program 1 

Defines the channel as Digital Input with the function of commanding 

the execution of the setpoing profile program 1. Available for I/O3, 

I/O4 (when available) and I/O5. 
Useful function for switching between the main setpoint and a 

secondary one defined by the program 1

Closed  = selects program 1 

Opened = useds main Setpoin 

 

(.0.20

 –0-20 mA Control Output

measurement in 0-20 mA.  

 

P.4.20 

- 4-20 mA PV retransmission 

Available for I/O 5 only, configures the channel to retransmit the PV 

measurement in 4-20 mA.  

 

s.0.20 – 

0-20 mA SP (Setpoint) retransmission  

Available for I/O 5 only, configures the channel to retransmit the 

values of SP in 0-20 mA.  

 

s.4.20 – 

4-20 mA SP (Setpoint) retransmission  

Available for I/O 5 only, configures the channel to retransmit the 

values of SP in 0-20 mA. 

ALARMS FUNCTIONS 
The controller has 4 independent alarms. They can be programmed 

to operate with eight different functions, represented in Table 3

 

off

 – Alarms turned 

off

 

ierr

 – Sensor break alarm 

It is activated whenever the input sensor is broken or disconnected. 

 

rs

 – Ramp & soak program event alarm 

This alarm is activated by the Ramp & Soak program (refer to the 

PROGRAMS OF RAMP AND SOAK section on how to set the event 

alarm). 

 

lo

 – Alarm of Absolute Minimum Value 

It is activated when the measured value is below the value defined in 

the alarm Setpoint. 

 

ki

 – Alarm of Absolute Maximum Value 

It is activated when the measured value is above the value defined in 

the alarm Setpoint. 

 

dif

 – Alarm of Differential Value 

In this function, the parameters “

SPA1

”, “

SPA2

”, ”

SPA3

” and “

SPA4

” 

represent the PV deviation as compared to the main SP. 
Using the Alarm 1 as example: for Positive SPA1 values,  the 

differential alarm will be triggered when the PV value is out of the 

range defined in: 

(SP –SPA1) to (SP + SPA1) 

For a negative SPA1 value,  the differential alarm will be triggered 

when the PV value is within the range defined above 

 

difl

 – Alarm of Minimum Differential Value 

It is activated when the PV value is below the value defined in: 

(SP –SPA1) 

Using the Alarm 1 as example. 

 

difk

 – Alarm of Maximum Differential Value 

It is activated when the PV value is above the value defined in: 

(SP + SPA1) 

Using the Alarm 1 as example.
