PROTECTED PARAMETERS MODE
*
The protected parameters mode is enabled when program disable is active.
This mode prevents access to the configuration modes without the proper access
code number. Only the parameters that are selected in the configuration 3
parameter lock-out section can be accessed.
“ProP”
- Enter Proportional band
“Intt”
- Enter integral time
“dErt”
- Enter derivative time
“rtio”
- Enter remote setpoint ratio value
“bIAS”
- Enter remote setpoint bias value
“SP-2”
- Enter internal cascade, secondary setpoint
“Pb-2”
- Enter internal cascade, secondary
proportional band
“It-2”
- Enter internal cascade, secondary integral
time
“dt-2”
- Enter internal cascade, secondary derivative
time
“AL-1”
- Enter value for alarm #1
“AL-2”
- Enter value for alarm #2
“CodE”
- Enter access value to unprotected
parameters & configuration parameters
*
These parameters may not appear due to option configuration or other
programming.

APPLICATION
A chemical company would like to
maintain the level of an acid solution tank to
insure constant availability for their process.
They have chosen a PCU controller which
has a continuous level probe with a 4 to 20
mA output proportional to tank level,
connected to the input terminals. The tank is
filled by controlling the position of a
proportional control valve. The control valve
is controlled by a 3 to 15 PSI air signal.
The PCU uses the level control input as its
feedback. The 4 to 20 mA input signal is
scaled so that 4 mA equals 0% and 20 mA
equals 100%.
The 4 to 20 mA output of the PCU is taken
to an I/P converter to convert the 4 to 20 mA
output to a 3 to 15 PSI signal for the control
valve. The relay outputs of the PCU are used
for high and low level alarms.
