Andy set the compressor control parameter to have the
compressor run only when cooling is needed.

% on Power: 0%
% off Power: 9%
Off Delay: 30 seconds
On Delay: 60 seconds

There was no computer connection, so Andy skipped
Communications.

Then he left the Setup Page and went to the Factory
Page where he put a password lock on the Setup Page,
Profile Page and Factory Page.

Finally, he went to the Operations Page and set the ac-
tive alarm band:

-20°F
+20°F

Analog Input 2

The humidity sensor on analog input 2 was a process sensor using a 4 to
20 mA signal, so Andy set the high end of the scale (20mA) for 100% and
the low (4mA) for 0% relative humidity (rh). Knowing that process sensor
displays are sometimes jumpy, he put a 1-second filter on it to stabilize it.

Sensor: Process

Set Point Low: 10%

Type: Vaisala

Set Point High: 90%

Units: % RH

No Calibration Offset

Scale Low: 0%

1-second Filter

Scale High: 100%

Self-clearing Error

Analog Input 3

A thermocouple (type J) sensor
was adequate to measure the
temperature of the equipment
itself (analog input 3). The other
settings remained the same as
analog input 1.

Sensor: Thermocouple
Type: J
Decimal Point: Whole numbers
only

Alarms

He assigned an alarm output
to indicate a temperature de-
viation on input 1, which
would monitor chamber tem-
perature, and gave it a name
that would state the problem.

Name: TEMP DEV
Type: Deviation
Source: Input 1
Latch: Yes
Silencing: Self-clear
Alarm Hysteresis: 1, 1.0
Sides: Both
Condition: Close on alarm
Show: Yes

Digital Inputs

Then he set up the digital inputs for
remote functions. Digital input 1
would be wired to a key-lock switch
that requires the operator to have a
key to operate the controller and
chamber. Digital input 2 would be
wired to a door switch to stop the pro-
file if the chamber door opens.

Digital Input 1
Name: KEYLOCK
Function: Panel lock
Condition: Start on high

Digital Input 2
Name: Default
Function: Pause
Condition: High

Digital Output 6

For heating and cooling capacity
and to accommodate the com-
pressor, Andy assigned these
functions to Digital outputs 6, 7
and 8.

Digital output 6, wired to a big
auxiliary heater, was set up to
kick in only when the main
heater worked at greater than
90% power (boost power level)
for more than 20 seconds (boost
delay).

Name: BOOST HEAT
Function: Boost heat
Boost Power Level: 90%
Boost Delay: 20 seconds

Digital Output 8
