Introduction to Ramp/Soak Profile Control – Fig. 2.2
Information.
• 10 programs per control channel.
• Digital State program selection – allows digital inputs to select program to be run.
• 99 programmable segments – can be shared between programs and controllers – see Fig. 2.3.
• Programmable time units – can be programmed in hours or minutes.
• Program repeat – 0 to 99 times or continuously.
• Program holdback hysteresis – for guaranteed ramps and soaks.
• 5 types of ramp/soak generated events – segment active event, program active event, end of program event,
holdback event and hold active event.
• 6 ramp/soak commands – can be selected from the front panel or via digital signals to run/hold programs, reset
programs, skip forward to next segment, skip backwards to beginning of segment, increase soak time or decrease
soak time (refer to Fig. 2.4 for ramp/soak adjust example).
• Self-seeking set point function – avoids unnecessary delays when a program is started – see Fig. 2.5.
• Retort function – ensures safe operation under fault conditions – see Fig. 2.6.
• Power recovery function – determines ramp/soak profile restart position on instruments fitted with the Timer option.
The Ramp/Soak option is a set point profile generator which controls the Local set point and can be used with any type of control
process for more complex control. A Profile Program is made up of Ramps (the set point is increased or decreased at a linear rate
until it reaches the desired value) and Soaks (the set point is maintained at a fixed value for a set time duration).
Fig. 2.2 shows a typical Ramp/Soak Profile and some of its features.
