PROFILE OPERATING MODES

Run Mode

The controller is in the Run Mode when a profile is executing. While in the

Run Mode, the profile can be stopped (Off Mode), paused (Pause Mode) or

advanced to the next phase. A profile is started and placed into the Run Mode

either manually or automatically when the controller is powered-up. The

advancement of the profile can be viewed in the secondary display.

Off Mode

The Off Mode signifies that all profiles are dormant. The Off Mode is

achieved by manually terminating a profile in progress or by allowing a profile

to run to completion. When a profile ends or is terminated, the active setpoint

is the last hold setpoint value. A profile terminated during a ramp phase results

in the active setpoint value to be the setpoint value at the instant of termination.

A profile terminated during a hold phase results in the active setpoint value to

be the setpoint value at the hold level.

Pause Mode

The pause mode signifies that a profile is active but the time base is stopped.

The pause mode is caused only by a manual action. Pausing a profile during a

ramp phase stops the ramp and the controller maintains the setpoint value at

the instant of the pause action. During hold phases, the timing of the hold

phase is stopped. The use of pause mode effectively lengthens the total run

time of a profile. Pause mode is indicated by “PAUS” flashing in the profile

control status display. A profile can be placed in the pause mode via the front

panel buttons, the user input, or the serial communications option. The unit

remains in the pause mode until a continue operation is performed. The

continue operation places the profile into the run mode.
