Sample Period
Type in the text box the time span for the sample period. Refer to the example below under
Proportional Band.
Proportional Band
Type in the text box the process value away from the set point at which the relay will be active for
the entire sample period.
For example, if you are forcing the conductivity higher, your set point is 200 mS/cm, your sample
period is one hour and your proportional band is 10 mS/cm. At the beginning of the sample
period, the conductivity is 195 mS/cm. The relay will activate for 30 minutes, then deactivate for
30 minutes. If the conductivity is now 197.5 mS/cm, the relay will activate for 15 minutes and then
deactivate for 45 minutes.
Control Direction
Click on the radio button to select between “Force Lower” or “Force Higher.”
Mutual Interlocks
Click the check boxes to select or de-select the relays and analog output control outputs that you
want to be prevented from turning ON if this output relay is already ON. If you do not need any
other output to shut off when this relay turns on, UNCHECK all boxes. The selection is mutually
exclusive, meaning that if Relay 2 has Relay 4 interlocked, then R2 won’t turn on if R4 is already
on, and R4 won’t turn on if R2 is already on. This feature should be used with caution since it can
potentially delay a chemical addition for a long time.
Output Time Limit
Type in the text box the maximum amount of time that the relay can be continuously activated
before the controller deactivates the relay and activates an Output Time Limit alarm. This is
intended to prevent the output from running out of control if the input fails in such a way that it
will never deactivate the relay.
Note that the relay will not activate again until someone resets the timer!
It will take some experience to find out what the normal output on-time will be. If the relay cycles
open and close under worst case conditions in 30 minutes, you may want to set the Output Time
Limit at 60 minutes.
Hand Time Limit
Type in the text box the maximum number of minutes that the relay can be activated in the Hand
Mode. Any value between 1 and 1440 is acceptable.
Click on the “Submit” button to save the changes.
Output Mode
Click on the radio buttons to manually control the relay. The normal selection will be
Auto
, where
the controller uses the various set points to open and close the relay. You can force the relay closed
regardless of the set points by selecting
Hand
, or force the relay open regardless of the set points
by selecting
Off
.
If you select
Off
, the relay will not activate again until either Hand or Auto is selected (or if power
is cycled)! If you select
Hand
, the relay will activate until either Auto or Off is selected, or until
