Setup Parameter Lock
To prevent unauthorized changes to key parameters with
pushbuttons or software, a user may lock the settings. Two
levels of lock exist. Lock setting 1 locks all parameters except
LOCK and the G.SV group to allow set value changes. Lock
setting 2 locks all parameters except the LOCK parameter.
To unlock the controller, an operator must change the LOCK
parameter to off (0) with pushbuttons or software.
For a complete list of setup parameters,
their functions, and setting options, refer to
the PD500 Series Instruction Manual
PROCESS & TEMPERATURE INPUTS
SuperNova Controllers use a single universal input that
accepts process and temperature inputs.
Thermocouple:
K, J, E, T, R, B, S, L, N, U, W, PLII
RTD:
JPT100, PT100
Process:
1-5 V (4-20 mA), 0-5 V, 0-10 V,
0-50 mV, 0-100 mV
External 250 Ω resistor required to read 4-20 mA.
Recommended accessory PDX-RES2.
VERSATILE OPERATION
Powerful standard and optional features such as universal
inputs, current 4-20 mA (SCR), voltage pulse (SSR), or
relay control outputs, two alarm relays, two digital inputs,
serial communications, and remote setpoint control make
the SuperNova an excellent choice for any process or
temperature control application requiring easy to change,
visible set points.
Main Control & Secondary Outputs
The main control output can be a 4-20 mA (SCR), voltage
pulse (SSR), or relay output. A secondary relay control output
is standard, which allow for one or two direction SV control
(i.e., heating and cooling).
Mini-USB Port for SuperNova Software
A mini-USB port may be used for a direct PC connection to
run the SuperNova software for monitoring, programming,
and data logging. This USB port is located
behind the panel
on the top of the controller for PD510 1/16 DIN models, and
on the front behind an IP65 rubber tab on PD520 and PD530
1/8 and 1/4 DIN models.
Easy Auto/Manual Control Mode Switching
Changing between auto and manual control modes is
accomplished by holding two buttons that are labelled SET and
. A graphic on the front panel indicates that these buttons
control the Auto/Manual (A/M) function:
Programmable Alarm Relays
All PD500 Series controllers have two SPST alarm relays.
These alarm relays can be used for a variety of alarm and
control functions and include a number of useful features.
