Heating Loop with PID Control
PID Control Setup
1. Access the Initial Setup mode by pressing and holding the
;
button for three seconds. Press the
•
button repeatedly until the parameter
Ctrl
appears. Confirm the default value
Pid
is selected for PID
control. Press the
•
button to access the parameter
s-hC
.
Confirm the default value
heat
is select-
ed for controlling a heating loop. Press the
;
button to return to the controller main screen.
2. Press the
•
button to access the parameter
r-s
. Verify that the default value
run
is selected. Press
the
;
button to return to the controller main screen.
3. Refer to Section 12-1 of this Quick Start Guide to set up the PID control parameters.
4. If the temperature controller’s output #1 is discrete, access the regulation mode again by pressing the
;
button for less than three seconds. Press the
•
button repeatedly until the parameter
htpd
appears. Use
the
,
and
.
buttons to set the time period in seconds for the heating control. Press the

There are four groups for storing PID parameters,
pid0
(PID0) -
pid3
(PID3). Press the
;
button for
less than three seconds and press the
•
button repeatedly until the parameter
pid0
appears. Use the
,
and
.
buttons to select which group to use for storing the PID parameters. Press the
;
button to
confirm the setting. The groups
pid0
-
pid3
can be individually set up with different SV values to be used
in the control process. If the group
pid4
is selected, the controller will automatically select the most useful
PID parameters based on the current temperature setting and the SV value set in each PID group.
The parameters for PID can be auto-tuned using the
At
parameter. Access this parameter by pressing the
;
button for less than three seconds. Use the
.
button to turn the auto-tune feature
on
. Press the
;
button to save the value. Optimal PID values are automatically determined with the auto-tune feature. PID
operation can also be controlled by programming the individual
p
,
i
, and
d
parameters for each PID group.
Access these parameters by pressing the
;
button for less than three seconds and press the
•
button
repeatedly until the parameter
pn
appears where
n
corresponds to the PID group you are programming. Use
the
,
and
.
buttons to change the value for the Proportional band if desired and press the

button to save the value. Press the
•
button to
access the
dn
parameter. Use the

.
buttons to change the value for the Derivative time if desired
and press the
;
button twice to save the value and return to the controller main screen.
Voltage Input
1. Access the Initial Setup mode by pressing and holding the
;
button for three seconds. In the parameter
inpt
, use the
,
and
.
buttons to select the value that corresponds to the voltage input that will be
applied to the controller. See the table for voltage specifications. Press the
;
button to save the selected
value. The controller will display the module information splash screen for three seconds and then return to
the main screen.
2. Press the
;
button for three seconds again. Press the
•
button to access the parameter
tp-h
.
Use the
,
and
.
buttons to select the high engineering value that corresponds to the maximum voltage
signal that will be applied to the input of the controller. For example, if the
V5
0V-5V input is to be used, this
is the value the controller will display when the input equals 5V. Press the
;
button to save the selected
value. Press the
•
button to access the parameter
tp-l
. Use the
,
and
.
buttons to select the
low engineering value that corresponds to the minimum voltage signal that will be applied to the input of the
controller. For example, if the
V5
0V-5V input is to be used, this is the value the controller will display when the
input equals 0V. Press the
;
button twice to save the selected value and return to the controller main screen.
3. Press the
•
button repeatedly until the parameter
sp
appears. Use the
,
and
.
buttons to select
0
,
1
,
2
or
3
to indicate the position of the decimal point for the PV and SV values on the controller. Press the
;
button twice to save the selected value and return to the controller main screen.
4. If the voltage input PV value displayed on the controller needs to be adjusted, press the
;
button for less
than 3 seconds. Press the
•
button repeatedly until the parameter
tpof
appears. Use the
,
and
.
buttons to adjust a positive or negative offset to the PV value displayed on the controller. Press the
;
button
twice to save the selected value and return to the controller main screen.
Dual Heating / Cooling Loop with PID Control
1. Access the Initial Setup mode by pressing and holding the
;
button for three seconds. Press the
•
button repeatedly until the parameter
Ctrl
appears. Confirm the default value
Pid
is selected for PID
control. Press the
•
button to access the parameter
s-hC
. Use the
.
button to select
h1C2
for
controlling a dual heating / cooling loop. This parameter sets the heating control to output #1 and the cooling
control to output #2. Press the
;
button twice to save the value and return to the controller main screen.
2. Press the
•
button to access the parameter
r-s
. Verify that the default value
run
is selected. Press
the
;
button to return to the controller main screen.
3. Refer to Section 12-1 of this Quick Start Guide to set up the PID control parameters.
4. If the temperature controller’s output #1 is discrete, access the regulation mode again by pressing the
;
button for less than three seconds. Press the
•
button repeatedly until the parameter
htpd
appears. Use
the
,
and
.
buttons to set the time period in seconds for output #1, the heating control. Press the
;
button to save the value. If the temperature controller’s output #2 is discrete, press the
•
button repeatedly
until the parameter

appears. Use the
,
and
.
buttons to enter the cycle period in seconds for
output #2, the cooling output. Press the
;
button twice to save the value and return to the controller main
screen.
5. Optional regulation parameters can be programmed for a second control
output. If this is desired, access the regulation mode again by pressing the
;
button for less than three seconds. Press the
•
button repeatedly
until the parameter
Coef
appears. This value allows the cooling control
to have a different proportional setting than the heating loop. The heating
loop proportional band setting is multiplied by the
Coef
value to create
a proportional band setting for the cooling loop control. Use the
,
and
.
buttons to change this value if desired. Press the
;
button to
save the selected value. Press the
•
button to access the parameter
dead
. Use the
,
and
.
buttons to enter a deadband zone value
around the setpoint where the output is not effected by the proportional
control value. As long as the PV remains within the deadband zone the
output is not affected by the proportional control. The integral and deriv-
ative controls ignore the deadband setting and may cause the output to
be on within the deadband zone. Press the
;
button twice to save the
value and return to the controller main screen.
