Functional specifications

1.Self-setting[ ]
PID self-tuning is the function of temperature controller to calculate PID control
parameters by measuring the thermal characteristics and thermal response time of the
control object, and through this function can realize automatic parameter setting to
complete high-speed and stable control.
※ When self-tuning, the heating system should be in working condition, and the
measured value PV should be lower than the set value SV.
※When the control mode parameter is in the state of " ", the self-tuning switch[
]will be displayed.
※ Set the self-setting switch[ ]to the state of " ", and the AT indicator light starts to
flash, indicating that the self-setting state has been entered.
※ During the execution of self-tuning, all parameter groups and SV setting values will be
locked. If you want to interrupt the self-tuning manually, Set the self-tuning switch[ ]to
the state of " ".
※During self-tuning, if the fault code " "or" "occurs, it will be interrupted
automatically.
※After the completion of self-setting, the AT indicator will stop flashing, and the
parameters obtained from setting will be saved automatically，And returns
the control state to continue running with a new isoparameter .
※Interrupt self-tuning, parameters will not be modified.

5/16
2.Control mode
Control mode parameters under the state of" ", the current PID control mode, if
in the state of " ", it is a bit control state.

3.Suppress overshoot [ ]
For PID control, overshoot suppression adjustment, the larger the set value, the faster the
heating, easy to overshoot;The smaller the setting value, the slower the heating and not
easy to overshoot.Factory default is 60. It is recommended to get the set value by PID
self-tuning.

4.Bit control return difference[ ]

Used to set the interval between ON and OFF of the control output in a bit control.
※When the control mode parameter is in the state of " ", the bit return
difference value[ ]will be displayed.
※If the return error range is too small, the control output may be unstable due to external
interference and other reasons.

6/16
5.Error correction[ ]
This function is used to correct temperature errors caused by external sensors, etc., but
the controller itself is basically error free.
If the actual temperature is 80 ° C but the controller shows 78 ° C, then set the error
correction [ ] to" ", and the controller's display temperature will become 80℃.
※Setting range -99~99℃.
※After error correction, if current temperature (PV) is out of range " "or" " will be
displayed.

6.Digital Filtering [ ]
Frequent changes of input signals lead to unstable display of current temperature (PV),
which will affect the instability of the operation volume and thus lead to instability of the
output. Therefore, this function is to filter the input signals to achieve stable control.
※1-30 is the first filtering, and 31-59 is the enhanced filtering.
※ Factory default setting is 50, suitable for most occasions, no special requirements
without modification.

No need to interact with the setting temperature.

Standby function

The attached standby function means that the alarm will not be ON even if the condition
of "ON" is reached from the current value beyond the alarm range until it enters the next
alarm range.

8.Alarm return difference [ ]

Used for the difference needed to return to a non-alarming state from an alarming state.
If the alarm action point is 120 ° C, the alarm return difference value is set at 20 ° C.
When the temperature reaches above 120 ° C, it will be in the alarm state; when the
temperature falls below 100 ° C, it will return to the non-alarm state.
※ The setting range is 0~100℃.
※ Factory default is 1℃

Matters needing attention

1.In order to eliminate inductive interference, please wire the product separately with
high-voltage lines, power lines, etc.
2.Use the M3 terminal in the following shape.

3. Please use the power switch or circuit breaker when turning off the power to the
product.

4. Please install the switch and circuit breaker nearby for the operator to operate.

5. If the product is used as temperature indication or adjustment, it should not be used as

other instruments.

10/16
6. When using the thermal resistance (RTD) sensor, 3 wires should be connected. If you
want to extend the wire, you must use the same type and length of wire connection.If the
impedance of the line is different, it may cause temperature deviation.

7. When the power line and the input signal line have to be installed closer, please add a
filter at the power end and shield the signal line.

8. Keep away from high frequency equipment (high frequency welder, high frequency
sewing machine, high capacity SCR controller)

9. When the measurement input is switched on, HHH or LLL will be displayed if any error
occurs. At this time, check whether the input is wrong after power off.
