D / Y / off
The principle is identical to the control behaviour of a 2-point controller with additional contact.
Output Y2 is used for switchover of the connected circuit between “
D” and “Y”. Output Y1 switches the heating ener-
gy on and off.
E.g. for temperature control with electrical heating (inverse operation) or cooling (direct operation).
Cycle time Tp1 must be adjusted as follows: Tp
Tu
1
0 25
<=
·
,
With higher Tp1, oscillations must be expected. Tp1 cor-
responds to the minimum cycle time (time in seconds) at 50 % duty cycle.
PD action
(
Tn = 0 = switched off Tn = Î)
The working point is in the middle of the proportional band X
p1
at 50 % duty cycle.
For keeping the control variable constant, a defined amount of energy dependent of is required. This causes a perma -
nent control deviation, which increases with higher X
p1.
DPID action
By means of the I action, line-out without permanent control deviation is possible.
The static characteristic of a two-point controller is identical to the one of a continuous controller. The difference is
that a duty cycle instead of a linearly variable current signal is output (relay contact, logic signal 0/20mA or control
output 0/24V).
Working point Y
0
and cycle time Tp1 of the cycle at 50% are adjustable.
The shortest switch-on or off time is 100ms.
