ON/OFF CONTROL

In this control mode, the process will constantly oscillate around the setpoint

value. The On/Off Control Hysteresis (balanced around the setpoint) can be

used to eliminate output chatter. Output Control Action can be set to reverse for

heating (output on when below the setpoint) or direct for cooling (output on

when above the setpoint) applications.

REVERSE OR DIRECT ACTING FIGURES

Note: CHYS in the On/Off Control Figures refers to the On/Off Control

Hysteresis (

) in parameter Module 2.

For heat and cool systems, Control Action parameter is used to reverse (r) for

heating and direct (d) for cooling. The Deadband/Overlap in Cooling sets the

amount of operational deadband or overlap between the outputs. The setpoint

and the On/Off Control Hysteresis applies to both OP1 and OP2 outputs. The

hysteresis is balanced in relationship to the setpoint and deadband value.

PID CONTROL

In PID Control, the controller processes the input and then calculates a

control output power value by use of Proportional Band, Integral Time, and

Derivative Time control algorithm. The system is controlled with the new

output power value to keep the process at the setpoint. The Control Action for

PID Control can be set to reverse for heating (output on when below the

setpoint) or direct for cooling (output on when above the setpoint) applications.

For heat and cool systems, the heat and cool outputs are both used. The PID

parameters can be established by using Auto-Tune, or they can be Manually

tuned to the process.
