number of heating zones (10)
The TC507 is available as 2 and 3 control zone unit. This parameter sets the actual number of
control zone used. More than one control zone require a kiln designed accordingly (one
thermocouple per zone, one contactor per zone). The temperature distribution on a multizone
kiln is greatly improved !
show flashing maximum temperature (11)
setting „On“ causes the TC507 to show flashing maximum programm temperature every 15
seconds on display (13). This gives the user the safety of knowing that the programme has been
entered properly. If this information is confusing in your application set this parameter to „Off“.
maximum number of (half) segment (12)
Maximum number of segments required in your application. For most applications 10 segments
(ie. 20 half segments) are sufficient. The smaller the value the more programmes you can save.
The programme memory of the TC507 holds up to 800 segments which gives you for instance 80
programmes at 10 segments each. The exact number of programmes depends on some other
details (e.g. if controller is configured with EVENTs).
function of the 1st / 2nd / 3rd additional control output (13) ff.
The TC507 can be fitted with up to 4 control outputs. On single zone kilns therefore up to 3
additional control outputs are available. The function of these additional control outputs can be
set to one of the following options each:
0 - control output OFF (no function)
1 - output for safety contactor: ON during programme run, OFF if overtemperatur is found
2 - EVENT: output is programmed to ON of OFF for each half (ramp and dwell) of a segment. Up
to 2 outputs can be configured as EVENT. After configuration use keys
event1
or
event2
to
enter „0“ (=OFF) or „1“ („ON“) on every segment (actually for ramp and for dwell). During
programme run the control outputs are switched to ON or OFF accordingly. This feature is
used to control cooling flaps or a chimney for instance.
3 - ON during programme run
4 - ON during programme run as before, but not during programme delay
5 - ON when programme is completed
(further options on request)
Parameters (13), (14) and (15) appear only depending on installed extensions of the controller
and number of zones used (ie. according to the number of available control outputs).
