MODELS T16 & P16 - TEMPERATURE/PROCESS CONTROLLERS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Model T16 Controller accepts signals from a variety of temperature

sensors (thermocouple or RTD), while the Model P16 Controller accepts either a

0 to 10 VDC or 0/4 to 20 mA DC input signal. Both controllers can provide an

accurate output control signal (time proportional or DC Analog Output) to

maintain a process at a setpoint value. Dual 4-digit displays allow viewing of the

process/temperature and setpoint simultaneously. Front panel indicators inform

the operator of the controller and output status. The comprehensive programming

allows these controllers to meet a wide variety of application requirements.

MAIN CONTROL

The controller operates in the PID Control Mode for both heating and

cooling, with on-demand auto-tune, that establishes the tuning constants. The

PID tuning constants may be fine-tuned through the front panel and then locked

out from further modification. The controller employs a unique overshoot

suppression feature, that allows the quickest response without excessive

overshoot. Switching to Manual Mode provides the operator direct control of the

output. The controller may also be programmed to operate in On/Off mode with

adjustable hysteresis.

ALARMS

Optional alarm(s) can be configured independently for absolute high or low

acting with balanced or unbalanced hysteresis. They can also be configured for

deviation and band alarm. In these modes, the alarm trigger values track the

setpoint value. Adjustable alarm hysteresis can be used for delaying output

response. The alarms can be programmed for Automatic or Latching operation.

A selectable standby feature suppresses the alarm during power-up until the

temperature stabilizes outside the alarm region.

ANALOG OUTPUT OPTION

The optional DC Analog Output (10 V or 20 mA) can be configured and

scaled for control or re-transmission purposes. The programmable output update

time reduces valve or actuator activity.

PC PROGRAMMING KIT

The optional TP16KIT contains a programming module with a 9 pin RS232

connector, cable and Crimson, a Windows

®

based configuration software. The

software allows downloading, uploading and storage of T16 and P16 program

files. All controllers have a communications port that allows configuration by

PC even without controller power connected. Controller calibration is also

possible using the software when the proper calibration equipment and

controller power is connected.

CONSTRUCTION

The controller is constructed of a lightweight, high impact, black plastic

textured case and bezel with a clear display window. The front panel meets

NEMA 4X/IP65 specifications when properly installed. In applications that do

not require protection to NEMA 4X, multiple controllers can be stacked

horizontally or vertically. Modern surface-mount technology, extensive testing,

plus high immunity to noise interference makes the controller extremely reliable

in industrial environments.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the

manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to

prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If

equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators

not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or

equipment in the event of a fault to the controller. An independent and redundant

temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly recommended.
