CONFIGURATION MODE
The configuration modules serve to provide the basic set-ups required by
the controller. It is divided into sections which group together related
programming steps, such as inputs, outputs, alarms, etc. Upon completion of
each section, the program returns to the configuration selection stage, which
allows the user to return to the normal display mode, or advance to a later
configuration stage.

(Detailed in the operator’s manual)
* These parameters may not appear due to option configuration or other
programming
HARDWARE FEATURES
The fast 100 msec input sampling rate
provides quick controller response to a process
disturbance for excellent temperature control.
Measurement accuracy of 0.15% provides
closer process control conforming to the
desired control setpoint value.
The unit accepts a variety of both
thermocouple or RTD temperature probes.
The A.C. input power is switch selectable,
allowing the unit to operate from either 115
VAC or 230 VAC. Since the controller is
serviceable from the front of the panel, the
output modules may be easily changed or
replaced without disturbing the wiring behind
the panel and NO re-programming is required.
The standard model simply requires pressing a
latch to remove the unit. The Type 4X/IP65
rated model utilizes two panel securing screws
and a neoprene gasket to guarantee a water
tight seal, when properly installed.
Low-drift, highly stable circuit design
ensures years of reliable and accurate temperature control. The recommended
two year re-calibration interval is easily accomplished via the programming
menu.
SETPOINT FEATURES
The controller’s setpoint can be protected from out of range values, by
programming the setpoint range limit values. Additionally, safeguards from
inadvertent data entry can also be programmed.
The setpoint ramp feature ramps the setpoint value at start-up or any time a
setpoint change is made, at a user programmable rate, independent of a
programmed profile. This feature reduces thermal shock to the process and
also helps to minimize temperature overshoot.
The active setpoint, which can be a running profile, may also be transmitted
by the linear DC output for slave control loops.
Four control points are available which can be implemented at any time.
Each control point is programmed independently, with each having a setpoint
and a PID gain set value. With gain value changes, the output power control
signal will not “bump” resulting in a smooth control transition.
INPUT FEATURES
A programmable input filter can be used to stabilize readings from a process
with varying or oscillating temperature characteristics, helping to provide
better temperature control.
A programmable temperature shift and slope function can be used to
compensate for probe errors or to have multiple TSC units indicate the same
nominal temperature.
A programmable User Input is available to control a variety of controller
functions, such as profile control, auto/manual transfer, serial communication
print requests, etc.
