SOFT START FUNCTION
The
Soft Start
function (
CFG
>>
CTRL
>>
SF.St
) prevents abrupt variations in the power delivered to the load by the controller control
output. A time interval (in seconds) limits the rise in the percentage of power delivered to the load. It will only reach 100 % of the power at
the end of this interval.
This function is normally used in processes that require a slow start, where applying 100% power to the load instantaneously can damage
parts of the process.
Available only when in PID control mode (see
PID CONTROL MODE AND ON/OFF CONTROL MODE
section).
