Operation
4.11 SETPOINT
The control setpoint is the desired load temperature expressed in temperature or sensor units. Use sensor units if no
temperature response curve is selected for the sensor input used as the control channel.
The control setpoint has its own units parameter. Set with the
Control Setup
key in Section 4.7. Control channel
readings can display in any units. Display units need not match setpoint units.
NOTE
:
If a curve is not assigned to the control input, control reverts to sensor units and the setpoint is set to
the most current reading.
When changing setpoint units while the control loop is active, the Model 325 converts the control setpoint to the new
control units for minimal disruption in control output.
Setpoint resolution depends on sensor type and setpoint units. With setpoint expressed in temperature, setpoint resolution
is 0.001 degree for setpoints below 100, and 0.01 for setpoints between 100 and 1000. In sensor units, the setpoint
resolution matches the display resolution for the sensor input type given in the specifications (Section 1.2).
The instrument allows a large setpoint range to accommodate a variety of sensors and units. With setpoint expressed in
sensor units, setpoint range is unlimited. The user must determine suitability of a setpoint value. In temperature units, a
safety feature limits the setpoint value to help prevent load damage. The setpoint limit in the temperature response curve
sets maximum safe temperature in kelvin for the sensor package. It can be verified by using the Curve Entry key. The
setpoint is limited to a value less than or equal to the limit. If the setpoint value changes from the number entered when
Enter is pressed, it is likely the setpoint exceeds the above limit or is inappropriate for the sensor type.
Once control setup parameters are configured (Section 4.7) and the active control loop is selected (Section 4.6.1), the
desired temperature setpoint is entered by pressing the
Setpoint
key.
Enter for Loop 1
Setpoint 77.350½
The setpoint is entered using the numeric keypad, which includes the numbers 0
–
9, +/–, and decimal point. Press the
Enter
key to accept the new setpoint or press the
Escape
key to cancel.
If the display format is configured to show the setpoint (Section 4.3), you will see something resembling the following
for a normal display.
