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.
