Loc 808 is the master password, can be changed by parameter PASd.

Please set PASd cautiously, if the password lost, you can’t access the parameter table again.
1 to 8 field parameters can be defined by parameters EP1 to EP8. If the number of the field parameters
is less than 8, the first idle EP parameter should be set to “nonE”. The initial values of EPs and Loc are
EP1=HIAL, EP2=LoAL, EP3=HdAL, EP4=LdAL, EP5=nonE, EP6=nonE, EP7=nonE, EP8=nonE and
Loc=0.
You can redefine field parameters and Loc to change operation style. For example, you can execute
auto tuning from field parameter instead of by pressing in basic display status, and only take HIAL
and HdAL as field parameter.
The EP paramters and Loc should be set as below:
EP1=HIAL, EP2=HdAL, EP3=At, EP4=nonE, Loc=1

① Upper display window, displays PV, parameter code, etc.
② Lower display window, displays SV, parameter value, or alarm
message
③ Setup key, for accessing parameter table and conforming
parameter modification.
④ Data shift key, and auto tuning
⑤ Data decrease key, and also run/pause switch
⑥ Data increase key, and also stop key
⑦ LED indicator. MAN, MIO, Al2, AU2 and COMM indicators is non-applicable.
OP1, AL1 and AU1 LED indicate I/O operation of the corresponding module. RUN LED, which only works for CN44,
means that the program control is running.

36
Basic display status:
When power on, the upper display window of the instrument shows the process value (PV), and the lower window
shows the set-point (SV). This status is called basic display status.
When the input signal is out of the measurable range ( e.g., the thermocouple or RTD circuit is break, or input
specification sets wrong), the upper display window will alternately display “oral”, and the instrument will automatically
stop output.
If the lower display window alternately display “HIAL”, “LoAL”, “HdAL” or “LdAL”, it means high limit alarm, low limit
alarm, deviation high alarm, and deviation low alarm happening.
For programmable controller (CN44): The lower display may alternately display between SV and “StoP”, ”HoLd”
or ”rdy” which means the program is stop, pause and ready.
If don’t want to display the alarm message, can disable by set ADIS=oFF

37
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
● Parameter Setting:
In basal display status, press and hold for about 2 seconds can access Field Parameter Table.

Press can go to the next parameter;

Press 、 or can modify a parameter.

Press and hold can return to the preceding parameter.

Press (don't release) and then press key simultaneously can escape from the parameter

table. The instrument will escape auomatically from the parameter table if no key is pressed within 25
seconds.

Set Loc=808 and then press can access System Parameter Table.

38
● Set Value Setting:
In basal display status, if the parameter lock “Loc” isn't locked, we can set setpoint (SV) by pressing
first、then can , or to adjust value.
Press key to decrease the value, key to increase the value, and key to move to the
digit expected to modify.
Keep pressing or , the speed of decreasing or inscreasing value get quick. The range of
setpoint is between the parameter SPL and SPH. The default range is 0 to 400.

● Control Run and Stop

Start controlling run: Press and hold 2 seconds, and let RUN led on. For CN 44, it will start the
program run again
Stop Controlling: Press and hold 2 seconds, and let STOP led on. For CN 44, it will stop the program
and Step value will reset to StEP=1.

39
● AI control and auto tuning
When AI control method is chosen (CtrL=APId / nPId), the PID parameters can be obtained by running
auto-tuning.
In basal display status, press for 2 seconds, the “At” parameter will appear. Press to

change the value of “At” from “oFF” to “on”, then press to active the auto-tuning process.

During auto tuning, the instrument executes on-off control. After 2-3 times of on-off action, the
instrument will obtain the optimal control parameter value.
If you want to escape from auto tuning status, press and hold the key for about 2 seconds until the

"At" parameter appear again. Change “At” from “on” to “oFF”, press to confirm, then the auto

tuning process will be cancelled. (P.S. If parameter “SPr” activate and the heating was running, then will
stop the “At” until completed the heat up process. )

Note 1: If the setpoint is different, the parameters obtained from auto-tuning are possible different. So
you’d better set setpoint to an often-used value or middle value first, and then start auto-tuning.
40
 For the ovens with good heat preservation, the setpoint can be set at the highest applicable
temperature. Depending on the system, the auto-tuning time can be from several seconds to
several hours.

Note 2: Parameter CHYS (on-off differential, control hysteresis) has influence on the accuracy of
auto-tuning. Generally, the smaller the value of CHYS, the higher the precision of auto tuning.
But CHYS parameter value should be large enough to prevent the instrument from error action
around setpoint due to the oscillation of input. CHYS is recommended to be 2.0.

Note 3: AI series instrument has the function of self-learning. It is able to learn the process while
working. The control effect at the first run after auto tuning is probably not perfect, but excellent
control result will be obtained after a period of time because of self-learning.

41
● Program setting (Only For CN44)
Press the key once and release in the display status, the instrument will be in the setup program
status. The set point of the current program StEP will be displayed.
Pressing 、 or can modify the value.

Pressing can go to next parameter. The program parameters will be displayed in the sequence

of setpoint1, time1, setpoint2, time2.

Pressing and holding for about 2 seconds will return to the previous parameter. Program step can
modify anytime even the program still in running.

Run / Hold
In basic display status, if the program is in stoP status (“StoP” is alternately displayed on the lower
window), press and hold the key for about 2 seconds until the lower display window displays the
"Run" symbol, the instrument then will start the program.
At running status, press and hold the key for about 2 seconds until the lower display window displays
42
the "HoLd" symbol, the instrument changes to hold status.
At Hold status, the program is still executing, and the process value is controlled same as setpoint, but
the timer stop working, and the running time and setpoint remains. At Hold status, press and hold the
key for about 2 seconds until the lower display window displays the "Run" symbol, the instrument
will back to run program
Stop
Press and hold the key for about 2 seconds in the basic display status, until the lower display
window displays the "stoP" symbol, the stoP operation is executed now, when program stopped, timer
will be reset and stop. This operation forces the instrument to stop running, meanwhile, the StEP
number will reset to 1, and control output is also stopped

Power cut/resume event handling:

There are 5 events handling method selectable for power resume after power cut. Please refer to
parameter PonP.

43
PV startup and PV preparation function (rdy function) :
At the beginning of starting a program, resuming a program after power cut or continuing to run a
program after it is just modified, the PV (process value) are often quite different from the set point. PV
startup function and PV preparation function can make PV and set point consistent, and avoid
unexpected result. When PV startup function enabled, the instrument will adjust the running time
automatically to make the expected set point is the same as the current PV.
For example, the program is set that the temperature will be raised form 25℃ to 625℃ in 600 minutes.
But the current PV is 100℃, then the instrument will automatically to run this program start from 75
minutes, that mean changed the temperature raised from 100℃ to 625℃ in 525 minutes (600-75) min.
At the above situation(PV=100, SV=25, first step SV), when PV preparation function is enable, the
alarm function will be blocked at that time, and PV will be adjusted to approach SV until the deviation
alarm condition is released (PV is between SV-LdAL and SV+HdAL). After deviation alarm was off, the
controller start the program again. Preparation function (rdy Function) is helpful to keep the integrity of

44
the program, but it will prolong the program time because the start of the program is postponed.
PV startup function is prior to PV preparation function. If both function are enabled, the system apply PV
startup first, if PV startup function works, PV preparation function will not be activated.

Curve fitting:
Curve fitting is adopted as a kind of control technology for CN44 series instrument. As controlled process often has
lag time in system response, by the way of curve fitting the instrument will smooth the turning point of the linear
heating-up, cooling-down and constant temperature curves automatically. The degree of the smooth is relevant
with the system’s lag time t (t=d+CtI) ; the longer of the lag time, the curve will more smooth. On the opposite the
smooth function will be weaker. Generally the shorter of the process lag time (such as temperature inertia), the
better of the program control on effect. By the way of the curve fitting to deal with the program curves, will avoid
overshoot. Note: The characteristic of the curve fitting will force the program control to generate fixed negative
deviation during the linear heating-up and fixed positive deviation during the linear cooling-down, the deviation is
direct proportional to the lag time and the speed of heating-up (cooling-down). This phenomenon is normal.

PROGRAMMING AND OPERATION (For CN44 only)
Ramp Mode(PAF : B=0)
Programming of instrument has uniform format of temperature-time-temperature, which means
temperature “A”(SP 1), passed Time “A”(t01), then reached Temperature “B”(SP 2). The unit of
temperature set is ℃ and the unit of time set is minute. The following example includes 5 steps, which
is linear temperature heating up, constant temperature, linear temperature cooling down, jump cycling,
ready, Hold..
StEP1: SP 1=100.0, t 1=30.0 Start linear temperature heating up from 100℃, and the time needed 30
minutes to reach SP 2(400 degree).
StEP2: SP 2=400.0, t 2=60.0 Temperature raised to 400℃, slope of raising curve is 10℃/minute, The
program take 60 minutes to raise temperature to SP3 (400 degree). It means keep the same
temperature in 60 minutes.
StEP3: SP 3=400.0, t 3=120.0 This is the step for temperature cooling down, slope of cooling curve is

47
2℃/minute, and the time needed is 120 minutes to reach SP4 (160degree).
StEP4: SP 4=160.0, t 4=0.0 When temperature reached 160 degree, the program get in Hold state. If
need go to next step, it needed operator to executed the “run” for next step.
StEP5: SP 5=160.0, t05=-1.0 Jump to StEP1 to start from beginning.

In this example, it is assumed that the deviation high alarm is set to 5℃. Because the
temperature of StEP 5 is 160℃, and the temperature of StEP1 is 100℃, when program jumps from
StEP 5 to StEP 1, the program will change to preparation state at first(if preparation mode “rdy” was
enabled), i.e., Control the temperature until the deviation between setpoint and PV is less than
deviation high alarm value. After temperature is controlled to 105℃, the program will be started from
StEP 1, and run the above steps again. The temperature control drawing was shown below.

48
Soak mode(PAF : B=1)
Suitable for the process which does not need to establish the temperature slope, can simplify the
programming and more effective. Each step also can set parameter “SPr” to define temperature raise

49
slope, if “SPr=0” raising speed will set to maximum. Because cannot know the actual time which spend
on temperature raising, user can enable “rdy” function to ensure the correct soak time.

Time setting
Set “t-xx” = 0.1～3200 (min)
Set the time of xx StEP. (Time units can be change to Hour by parameter “PAF”.)
Set “t-xx” = 0.0
The program hold on StEP xx, program will hold running and hold counting time.
Set “t-xx” = -121.0
The program stops, and switches to stop status.
Set “t-xx” = -0.1～-122.0
Negative value of this range represents a jump operation which will jump to step xx and event output.
Range -1~-120 is for step jumping application. The step jumping cannot greater than “Pno”(No. of
Program step).

50
Decimal point use for control the event output from AL1 and AL2. (Modular), Note, if parameter AOP
was assigned alarm action will trigger from AL1 and AL2, the event output also will cause alarm from
AL1 and AL2.
When set
-XXX.1, AL1 activate, AL2 release
-XXX.2, AL1 release, AL2 activate
-XXX.3, AL1 and AL2 activate
-XXX.4, AL1 and AL2 release
Example:
Example 1 : t -5 = -1.1 ; means when the program arrived step 5, AL1 activate, AL2 release and
will jump to step 1 continues running
Example 2 : t-6 = -0.3 ; means when the program arrived step 6, AL1 and AL2 activate and
continuous next step.
Note: The program will be held if it jump from a control segment to another control segment (an Hold

51
action will be inserted between two control sections), external run/Hold operation is needed to release
the Hold status. It is not allowed that the jump section jump to itself (for example: t 06= -6), otherwise,
the Hold status cannot be released.
Program arrangement of multi-curve operation
CN 44 has the advanced function of flexible program arrangement. Normally, when the program
stops, the StEP will be automatically set to1. Thus if StEP is not change to other value, a program will
start from step1. If multiple curves are defined, the control can jump to different curve by setting step 1
as jump segment.

For example: There are three curves with the length of 3 steps represent three groups of process
parameter, they are separately arranged on StEP2-StEP4, StEP5-StEP7, StEP8-StEP10. Settings are
as follows:
t -1=-2.0 Execute the program of curve 1 (StEP2-StEP4)
t -1=-5.0 Execute the program of curve 2 (StEP5-StEP7)

52
t -1=-8.0 Execute the program of curve 3 (StEP8-StEP10)
Note: Can choose the curves by setting the value of StEP “t-1“ set to -2, -5 or -8 before the program
startup.
