INITIAL SETTINGS
There are a number of key settings required before initial operation of a CALogix PID module.
1. Input sensor type (Input settings menu)
Select input sensor type from drop down list (Default J)
When changing the sensor type ensure that the setpoint 1 upper and lower limits are set to values that will
allow the setpoints you wish to enter
If selecting linear refer to section on linear inputs
2. Select operating unit (Module settings)
Select process units from drop down list.
3. Allocate outputs 1,2 & 3 (Output settings)
Allocate physical outputs 1, 2 and 3 to SP1, SP2, SP3. Any physical output can be assigned as any setpoint, but
each output can only be assigned once.
Note: If the outputs have been previously allocated to a set-point and you wish to change assignment,
then the outputs need to be set to none and this setting applied before you can re-allocate a new output to a
setpoint. Please consider any wiring changes that may be required.
