Introduction

Watchdog Timer: The CLS watchdog timer output notifies you of
system failure. You can use it to hold a relay closed while the controller
is running, so you are notified if the microprocessor shuts down.

Front Panel or Computer Operation: Set up and run the CLS from
the front panel or from a local or remote computer. Watlow Anafaze
offers ANASOFT, our IBM AT or IBM-PC compatible software you can
use to operate the CLS. ANASOFT has these features:

Process Overviews

Parameter Setup

Graphic Trend Plotting

Data Logging

Multiple Job Storage: Store up to 8 jobs in protected memory, and
access them locally by entering a single job number or remotely via
digital inputs. Each job is a set of operating conditions, including
setpoints and alarms.

Non-Linear Output Curves Standard: Select either of two non-linear
output curves for each control output.

Autotuning Makes Setup Simple: Use the Autotune feature to set up
your system quickly and easily. The CLS internal expert system table
finds the correct PID parameters for your process.

Pulse Counter Input Standard: Use the pulse counter input for precise
control of motor or belt speed.
