BASIC OPERATION
The TSC controls the temperature profile of a system by measuring the
temperature via an input probe, compares the actual temperature to the setpoint
profile in progress, and calculates the new output power value by use of a
modified PID control algorithm. The unit controls the system with the new
output power value so the process temperature conforms to the programmed
profile. The PID control algorithm incorporates features which provide
minimum overshoot and excellent temperature control accuracy for a process.
FRONT PANEL FEATURES
In the normal display mode, the unit will display the process temperature in
the upper display. One of five other parameters may be selected for viewing in
the lower display:
Target Setpoint Profile Phase Time Remaining
% Output Power Temperature Symbol (F/C)
Profile Status
The program profile status display indicates the active profile number with
the current ramp or hold phase of the profile. The profile can be started, stopped,
advanced, etc. from the front panel when the profile status display is viewed, if
not locked from access.
The phase time remaining display, shows the time remaining in a ramp or
hold phase and, if not locked from access, may be changed on-line to effect
temporary changes to the program. Additionally, the target setpoint and %
output power (manual mode only) may also be changed on-line or locked from
operator access.
From the normal operating mode, parameters are selected by use of the PAR
button and modified by use of the UP and DOWN buttons. Parameters are then
entered by the PAR button, which advances the user to the next parameter.
Pressing the DSP button immediately returns the controller to the normal
operating mode from any parameter module. The controller configuration and
parameter settings are stored in an internal E

PROM device.
