number of heating zones (10)
The TC505 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 !
enter ramps as gradient (°C/h) or time (h.min) (11)
On the TC505 you can can enter the speed on a heating or cooling ramp either as degrees
centigrade per hour (°C/h) or as time (hours / minutes) whatever your preference is.
function of the 1st / 2nd / 3rd additional control output (13) ff.
The TC505 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) and (14) appear only depending on installed extensions of the controller and
number of zones used (ie. according to the number of available control outputs).
