18 ATR171 - User manual
• In case of power failure or after a switch-off , at restart both the manual
functioning and the previously fi xed output percentage value will be maintained.
• If during automatic functioning there is a sensor failure, controller will
automatically switch to manual mode while maintaining command output
percentage unchanged as generated by P.I.D. immediately before failure.
8.6 Soft-Start
At switch-on the controller follows a rising gradient expressed in units (ex. degree/
hour) to reach the setpoint.
The chosen rising gradient in Unit / Hour must be set on parameter 73
ri.Gr.
; at next
switch-on the controller will execute Soft Start function.
Automatic and manual Tuning function cannot be enabled if Soft Start function is
active. In model ATR171-23ABC-T the Soft-Start function may be enabled only if
dip-switches are confi gured for serial communication (AI2 desabled).
8.7 Pre-programmed cycle
This function allows to program a simple working cycle on time basis, and can be
