Chapter 3: Controller Parameter Descriptions

Current Segment (47)

This parameter returns the segment number that is currently executing.
The controller’s front panel displays (current segment parameter value
+1).

If the user has not assigned a ramp-soak profile to the loop, this
parameter is undefined.

If the loop is in Ready state, this parameter has a value of –1. In Ready
state, the controller’s front panel displays segment 0.

Range: –1 to 19.

Default: 0.

Segment Time Remaining (48)

If the time base is in minutes and seconds, this parameter holds the total
remaining seconds, up to 999 minutes and 59 seconds. If the time base
is in hours and minutes, this parameter holds the total remaining
minutes, up to 999 hours, 59 minutes.

Range: 0 to 59999.

Default: 0.

Current Cycle Number (49)

This parameter returns the number of the current cycle. (Command 52,
Number of Cycles, returns the total number of cycles to execute.)

Range: 0 to 9999.

Default: 0.

Tolerance Alarm Time (50)

The value of this parameter decrements once each time unit (each
minute if the time base is set to hours and minutes, or each second if the
time base is set to minutes and seconds), while the profile is out of
tolerance. When a ramp-soak segment is out of tolerance for longer than
the tolerance alarm time, the controller goes into tolerance alarm and the
tolerance timer resets.

Range: 0 to 59999.

Default: 0.

Last Segment (51)

This parameter denotes the last segment in the profile.

Range: 0 to 19.
