GENERAL INFORMATION
The control relay (LED A1 on the front panel) can be configured for PID or ON/OFF control action.
ON/OFF control:
The following parameters have to be set:
1. Set Point (SP)
2. Hysteresis (HSt).
3. Type of the limit level - High (Hi) or Low (Lo) (Heating or Cooling)
The way the control relay commutates is shown on Figure 1 and Figure 2.

A typical application of a High Limit Level ON/OFF control action is the heating process control. When
the temperature is above the SP the relay output is not active and there is no heating. The heating
begins when the temperature falls below the SP minus hysteresis (SP - HSt).

A typical application of a Low Limit Level ON/OFF control action is a temperature process controlled with
cooling. When the temperature is below the SP the cooling is OFF. When the PV (temperature) is above
SP plus hysteresis (SP + HSt) the relay output is activated and the cooling is started.
If the ON/OFF control action is not satisfactory enough PID control action could be used.
PID control:
The general logic of the action of the PID control is given by the expression:
t
dPVn
u(t ) = K en + ∫ e (s )ds + Td
1 1
T dt
i 0
where:
e = SP-PVc - The closed loop error; SP - Set Point, PV -Process Variable;
en=e/Range - Normalized error;
dPVn
- Change of the normalized process variable (not normalized error);
dt
K - Proportional Constant;
Ti - Integral Time (Ti);
Td - Derivative Time (Td);
u - PID normalized output 0-1.0;
Auto-Tune function
The operator can start a simple automatic identification of the process only when PID control is used (not
ON/OFF). The identification procedure is "relay feedback identification". An ON/OFF control action
around the SP is used to identify the process properties (ultimate gain, ultimate period), and than to cal-
culate the optimal (if it is possible) PID parameters. The identification procedure is shown on the figure
below. The temperature process has to be without any load disturbances during the identification (i.e. the
temperature process has to be with constant parameters and under constant conditions).
The build-in method could be successful even when processes have a relatively long dead time.
The SP during the identification has to be as close as possible to the working Set-Point. After the para-
meters are calculated and saved the controller exits the auto-tune function and enters its basic display
mode. Indication for this is the switching off of the blinking "tu" caption on the 2-digit display.
The identification procedure can be stopped manually if there are undesirable effects.

Influence of PID parameters to the controlled process:
The influence of the parameters (K, Ti and Td) to the process is graphically shown on the figure below.
Simulated transient responses and responses to load disturbance with different PID parameters are
shown on the different parts of the figure.

When the Alarm relay is configured as Low Limit:
- The relay is ON when PVx < SPx
- The relay is OFF when PVx >= SPx + HStx
Starting Auto-tune
1. The Set-Point (SP) has to be correctly entered before activation of the auto-tune procedure.
2. The controlled object has to be put to work in constant condition during the identification (without any
load disturbances, with constant parameters, with relatively constant ambient temperature, constant SP,
etc.).
3. Press A/M and MODE simultaneously. Digit 1 starts blinking on the upper display. Caption Autotu is
visualized on the lower display. Press ENT to start the auto-tune procedure. The instrument enters its
basic operating mode and caption tu starts blinking on the two-digit display. Press ENT instead of MODE
and the controller enters its basic operating mode without starting the auto-tune procedure.
Press the A/M and MODE buttons again in order to stop the auto-tune procedure. Caption StoP appears
on the upper display. Press ENT to stop the identification without calculating the parameters. Press
MODE (without pressing ENT) to enter the basic operating mode of the instrument without stopping the
auto-tune procedure.
NOTE: As ON/OFF control is implemented in the process, the temperature may rise significantly. The
maximal temperature value that will be reached at that point should not exceed the end of the instrument
measuring range. In case of reaching the end of the range, the Set-Point could be corrected to some
lower value. The identification will take time that is very much dependent on the characteristics of the con-
trolled object. If the identification procedure has been stopped before its completion, new PID parameters
will not be computed. If an error occurs in the measurement the identification is automatically stopped.
