BASIC OPERATION
The PCU controls a process by measuring the input signal and then calculating
a control output power value by use of a modified PID control algorithm. The unit
controls the system with the new output power value to keep the process at
setpoint. The PID control algorithm incorporates features that provide for high
control accuracy and low overshoot from process disturbances.
FRONT PANEL FEATURES
In the normal operating mode, the unit displays the scaled process value in the
upper display. One of four other parameters can be viewed in the lower display:
- Setpoint
- % Power Output
- Deviation
- Second Input Process Value
The parameters can be scrolled through by pressing the DSP button. If
enabled, the control setpoint or power output (manual mode only) can be
directly modified in this mode.
In 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 when making a parameter change. The controller’s configuration
and parameter settings are stored in an internal E

PROM device.
