ALARM INITIAL BLOCKING 

The initial blocking option inhibits the alarm from being recognized if 
an  alarm  condition  is  present  when  the  controller  is  first  energized. 
The  alarm  will  actuate  only  after  the  occurrence  of  a  non  alarm 
condition followed by a new occurrence for the alarm. 

The initial blocking is disabled for the sensor break alarm function. 

SQUARE ROOT EXTRACTION 

Available when input type 19 is selected. The indicator displays the 
square root of the current signal input applied to terminals 22 and 24. 

ANALOG RETRANSMISSION OF PV AND SP 

The analog output, when not used for control purposes, is available 
for  retransmitting  the  SV  and  SP  values  in  0-20  or  4-20  mA.  This 
analog  output  is  electrically  isolated  from  other  inputs  and  outputs. 
The  analog  output  signal  is  scaleable,  with  the  output  range 
determined by the values programmed in the parameters “

current output terminals (terminal 1 and 2). 

SOFT START 

Defines  the  time  interval  for  the  output  to  reach  its  maximum  value 
(100  %).  The  soft  start  value  is  programmed  in  “

INSTALLATION / CONNECTION 

Insert  the  unit  into  the  panel  cut-out  and  slide  the  mounting  clamp 
from the rear to a firm grip at the panel. 

All electrical connections are made to the screw terminals at the rear 
of the controller. They accept wire sizes from 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 (16 to 
22 AWG).  The terminals should be tightened to a torque of 0.4 Nm 
(3.5 lb in). 

To  minimize  the  pick-up  of  electrical  noise,  the  low  voltage  DC 
connections and the sensor input wiring should be routed away from 
high-current  power  conductors.  If  this  is  impractical,  use  shielded 
cables. In general, keep cable lengths to a minimum. 

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION 

 

Input  signal  wires  should  be  laid  out  away  from  power  lines  and 
preferably inside grounded conduits. 

 

Instrument mains (line) supply should be suitable for this purpose 
and should not be shared. 

 

In controlling and monitoring applications, possible consequences 
of any system failure must be considered in advance. The internal 
alarm relay does not warrant total protection. 

 

Use  of  RC  filters  (47  R  and  100  nF,  serial)  are  highly 
recommended  when  driving  solenoids,  contactor  coils  or  other 
inductive loads.

RTD (Pt100) 

Figure 4

 shows the Pt100 wiring, for 3 conductors. Terminals 10, 11 and 12 

must  have  the  same  wire  resistance  for  proper  cable  length  compensation. 
For 2 wire Pt100, short circuit terminals 10 and 11.

Refer  to 

Figure  5

.  (The  controller  provides  an  internal  electronic 

shunt for the input current. No changes in the circuit are necessary). 

 

Alarm and output connection

 

When  I/O  channels  are  set  up  as  output  channels,  they  must  have 
their capacity respected, according do specifications. 

 

Remote setpoint: 

The remote Setpoint (SP) is enabled by an external  digital signal in 
either I/O5 or I/O6, when programmed with the code 8 (Select remote 
SP input).An external resistor shunt of 100   is required between the 
terminals 7 and 8.
