2 - PROGRAMMING

2.1 - FAST PROGRAMMING OF THE SET POINT

This procedure permits rapid programming of the active Set Point and possibly the alarm thresholds (see par 2.3)
Push key “ P” , then release it and the display will visualise “SP n”(where n is the number of the Set Point active at that
moment) alternatively to the programmed value.
To modify the value, press “ UP”key to increase it or the “ DOWN”key to decrease it.
These keys change the value one digit at a time but if they are pressed for more than one second, the value increases or
decreases rapidly and, after two seconds in the same condition, the changing speed increases in order to allow the desired
value to be reached rapidly.
Once the desired value has been reached, by pushing key P it is possible to exit by the fast programming mode or it is possible
to visualise the alarm thresholds (see par. 2.3).
To exit the fast Set programming it is necessary to push key P, after the visualisation of the last Set Point, or alternatively, if no
key is pressed for approx. 15 seconds, the display will return to normal functioning automatically.

2.2 - SELECTION OF THE CONTROL STATE AND PARAMETER PROGRAMMING

By pushing key "P" and holding it down for approx. 2 sec. it is possible to enter into the main selection menu.
Using the "UP" or DOWN”keys, it is then possible to roll over the selections:

"OPEr" to enter into the operating parameters menu

"ConF" to enter into the configuration parameters menu
"OFF" to swap the regulator into the OFF state
"rEG" to swap the regulator into the automatic control state
"tunE" to activate the Auto-tuning or Self-tuning function
"OPLO" to swap the regulator to the manual control state and therefore to program the % control value using the “
UP”
and “ DOWN”keys

Once the desired item has been selected, push key “ P”to confirm.
Selecting "OPEr" and "ConF" gives the possibility of accessing other menus containing additional parameters and more
precisely :

"OPEr" - Operating parameters Menu: this normally contains the Set Point parameters but it can contain all the desired
parameters (see par. 2.3).
"ConF" - Configuration parameters Menu: this contains all the operating parameters and the functioning configuration
parameters (alarm configuration, control, input, etc.)

To enter the menu “ConF”select the option “ ConF” , press the key “P”and the display will show “ 0”.
At this request, enter, using keys “UP”and “ DOWN” , the number reported on the last page of this manual and push key “ P”.
If an incorrect password is entered, the instrument exit from programming mode.
]
If the password is correct, the display will visualise the code identifying the first group of parameters (“SP “) and with keys “ UP”
and “ DOWN”it will be possible to select the desired group of parameters.
Once the desired group of parameters has been selected, the code identifying the first parameter of the selected group will be
visualised by pushing the “ P”key.
Again using the “ UP”and “ DOWN”keys, it is possible to select the desired parameter and, if the key “ P”is pressed, the display
will alternatively show the parameter’s code and its programming value, which can be modified by using the “ UP”or “ DOWN”
keys.
Once the desired value has been programmed, push key “ P”once more: the new value will be memorised and the display will
show only the code of the selected parameter.
By using the “ UP”or “DOWN”keys, it is then possible to select a new parameter (if present) and modify it as described above.
To select another group of parameters, keep the “ UP”or “ DOWN”key pressed for approx. 2 sec., afterwards the display will
return to visualise the code of the group of parameters.
Release the key and by using the “ UP”and “ DOWN”keys, it will be possible to select a new group.
To exit the programming mode, no key should be pressed for approx. 20 seconds, or keep the “ UP”or “ DOWN”pressed until
exit from the programming mode is obtained.
The programming and exit modes for the “ OPEr”menu are the same as those described for menu “ ConF”with the difference
that to access the menù "OPEr" the Password is not required.

Hold for

ATTENTION: The instrument is programmed in factory with all the parameters, to exception of the Set Point "SP1" (and 2,3,4),
programmable in the menù "ConF" to the purpose to prevent wrong accidental programming from non experienced consumers.

TLK 35 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Vr. 01 - ISTR 06484 - PAG. 4

2.3 - PARAMETERS PROGRAMMING LEVELS

The menu “ OPEr”normally contains the parameters used to program the Set Point; however it is possible to make all desired
parameters appear or disappear on this level, by following this procedure:
Enter the menu “ ConF”and select the parameter to be made programmable or not programmable in the menu “ OPEr” .
Once the parameter has been selected, if the LED SET is switched off, this means that the parameter is programmable only in
the menu “ ConF” , if instead the LED is on, this means that the parameter is also programmable in the menu “ OPEr” .
To modify the visibility of the parameter, push key “ U”: the LED SET will change its state indicating the parameter accessibility
level (on = menu ” OPEr”and “ ConF”; off = menu “ ConF”only).
The active Set Point and the alarm thresholds will only be visible on the Set Point fast programming level (described in par. 2.1)
if the relative parameters are programmed to be visible (i.e. if they are present in the menu “ OPEr” ).
The possible modification of these Sets, with the procedure described in par. 2.1, is instead subordinate to what is programmed
]
in par. “Edit”(contained in the group “PAn “ ).
This parameter can be programmed as :
=SE : The active Set Point can be modified while the alarm thresholds cannot be modified.
=AE : The active Set Point cannot be modified while the alarm thresholds can be modified
=SAE : Both the active Set Point and the alarm thresholds can be modified
=SAnE : Both the active Set Point and the alarm thresholds cannot be modified

2.4 - CONTROL STATES

The controller can act in 3 different ways : automatic control (rEG), control off (OFF) and manual control (OPLO).
The instrument is able to pass from one state to the other :
- by selecting the desired state from the main selection menu suing the keyboard.
- By using the key “ U”on the keyboard; suitably programming par. “ USrb”(“USrb”= tunE; “ USrb”= OPLO; “ USrb”= OFF) it is
possible to pass from “ rEG”state to the state programmed on the parameter and vice versa.
- By using the digital input 1 suitably programming par. “ diF”(“ diF”= = OFF) it is possible to pass from “rEG”state to the state
OFF and vice versa.
- Automatically (the instrument swaps into "rEG" state at the and of the auto-tuning execution)
When switched on, the instrument automatically reassumes the state it was in when it was last switched off.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL (rEG) –Automatic control is the normal functioning state of the controller.
During automatic control it is possible to visualize the control power on the display by pushing key “ UP” .
The range of the power values goes from H100 (100% of the output power with reverse action) to C100 (100% of the output
power with direct action).
CONTROL OFF (OFF) –The instrument can be swapped into the “ OFF”state, i.e. the control and the relative outputs are
deactivated.
The alarm outputs are instead working normally.
BUMPLESS MANUAL CONTROL (OPLO) –By means of this option it is possible to manually program the power percentage
given as output by the controller by deactivating automatic control.
When the instrument is swapped to manual control, the power percentage is the same as the last one supplied and can be
modified using the “ UP”and “ DOWN”keys.
As in the case of automatic control, the programmable values range from H100 (+100%) to C100 (-100%).
To return to automatic control, select "rEG" in the selection menu.

2.5 - ACTIVE SET POINT SELECTION

This instrument permits pre-programming of up to 4 different Set points (“SP1”, “SP2”, “SP3”, “SP4”) and then selection of
which one must be active. The maximum number of Set points is determined by the par. "nSP" located in the group of
parameters “]SP “ .
The active Set point can be selected :
]
- by parameter "SPAt" in the group of parameters “SP “ .
- by key “U”if par. "USrb" = CHSP
- by the digital inputs if diF”= CHSP , = SP1.2 , =SP1.4 or = HE.Co
- Automatically between SP1 and SP2 if a time “ dur.t”(see par. 4.8) has been programmed.
Set Points “ SP1” ,“SP2” ,“ SP3”,“
SP4”will be visible depending on the maximum number of Set Points selected on par. “
nSP”
and they can be programmed with a value that is between the value programmed on par. “SPLL”and the one programmed on
par. “SPHL”.

Note : in all the following examples the Set point is indicated as "SP", however the instrument will act according to the Set point
selected as active.

 3 - INFORMATION ON INSTALLATION AND USE

3.1 - PERMITTED USE

The instrument has been projected and manufactured as a measuring and control device to be used according
to EN61010-1 for the altitudes operation until 2000 ms.
The use of the instrument for applications not expressly permitted by the above mentioned rule must adopt all
the necessary protective measures.
The instrument CANNOT be used in dangerous environments (flammable or explosive) without adequate
protection.
The installer must ensure that EMC rules are respected, also after the instrument installation, if necessary using proper filters.
Whenever a failure or a malfunction of the device may cause dangerous situations for persons, thing or animals, please
remember that the plant has to be equipped with additional devices which will guarantee safety.

3.2 –MECHANICAL MOUNTING

The instrument, in case 4 DIN Modules, is designed for mounting on DIN OMEGA rail.
Avoid placing the instrument in environments with very high humidity levels or dirt that may create condensation or introduction
of conductive substances into the instrument.
Ensure adequate ventilation to the instrument and avoid installation in containers that house devices which may overheat or
which may cause the instrument to function at a higher temperature than the one permitted and declared.
Connect the instrument as far away as possible from sources of electromagnetic disturbances such as motors, power relays,
relays, solenoid valves, etc.

3.3 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Carry out the electrical wiring by connecting only one wire to each terminal, according to the following diagram, checking that
the power supply is the same as that indicated on the instrument and that the load current absorption is no higher than the
maximum electricity current permitted.
As the instrument is built-in equipment with permanent connection inside housing, it is not equipped with either switches or
internal devices to protect against overload of current: the installation will include an overload protection and a two-phase
circuit-breaker, placed as near as possible to the instrument, and located in a position that can easily be reached by the user
and marked as instrument disconnecting device which interrupts the power supply to the equipment.
It is also recommended that the supply of all the electrical circuits connected to the instrument must be protect properly, using
devices (ex. fuses) proportionate to the circulating currents.
It is strongly recommended that cables with proper insulation, according to the working voltages and temperatures, be used.
Furthermore, the input cable of the probe has to be kept separate from line voltage wiring. If the input cable of the probe is
screened, it has to be connected to the ground with only one side.
We recommend that a check should be made that the parameters are those desired and that the application functions correctly
before connecting the outputs to the actuators so as to avoid malfunctioning that may cause irregularities in the plant that could
cause damage to people, things or animals.

GREISINGER and its legal representatives do not assume any responsibility for any damage to people, things or
animals deriving from violation, wrong or improper use or in any case not in compliance with the instrument’
s
features.

4 - FUNCTIONS

4.1 - MEASURING AND VISUALIZATION

]
All the parameters referring measurements are contained in the group “InP”.
Depending on the model required the input accept:
C: Thermocouples temperature probes (J,K,S and GREISINGER IRS Infrared sensors), mV signals (0..50/60 mV, 12..60 mV),
Thermoresistances PT100.
E : Thermocouples temperature probes (J,K,S and GREISINGER IRS Infrared sensors), mV signals (0..50/60 mV, 12..60 mV),
Thermistors PTC and NTC.
I : normalized analogue signals 0/4..20 mA
V : normalized analogue signals 0..1 V, 0/1..5 V, 0/2..10 V
Depending on the model, using par. “SEnS”, it’ s possible to select the type of input probe, which can be :
- for thermocouples J (J), K (CrAL), S (S) or for infrared sensors serie GREISINGER IRTC1 with linearization J (Ir.J) or K
(Ir.CA)
- for thermoresistances Pt100 IEC (Pt1) or thermistors PTC KTY81-121 (Ptc) or NTC 103AT-2 (ntc)
- for normalised signals in current 0..20 mA (0.20) or 4..20 mA (4.20)
- for normalised signals in tension 0..1 V (0.1), 0..5 V (0.5), 1..5 V (1.5), 0..10 V (0.10) or 2..10 V (2.10).
- for normalised signals in tension 0..50 mV (0.50), 0..60 mV (0.60), 12..60 mV (12.60).
We recommend to switch on and off the instrument when these parameters are modified, in order to obtain a correct
measuring.
For the instruments with input for temperature probes (tc, rtd) it’ s possible to select, through par. “Unit”, the unit of
measurement (°C, °F) and, through par. “dP”(Pt100, PTC and NTC only) the desired resolution (0=1°; 1=0,1°).
Instead, with regards to the instruments with normalised analogue input signals, it is first necessary to program the desired
resolution on par. “dP”(0=1; 1=0,1; 2=0,01; 3=0,001) and then, on par. "SSC", the value that the instrument must visualise at
the beginning of the scale (0/4 mA, 0/12 mV, 0/1 V o 0/2 V) and, on par. "FSC", the value that the instrument must visualise at
the end of the scale (20 mA, 50 mV, 60 mV, 5 V or 10 V).
The instrument allows for measuring calibration, which may be used to recalibrate the instrument according to application
needs, by using par. “OFSt”and “rot”.
Programming par. “ =1,000, in par. “
rot” OFSt”it is possible to set a positive or negative offset that is simply added to the value
read by the probe before visualisation, which remains constant for all the measurements.
If instead, it is desired that the offset set should not be constant for all the measurements, it is possible to operate the
calibration on any two points.

In this case, in order to decide which values to program on par. “

OFSt”and “
rot”
, the following formulae must be applied :
“rot”= (D2-D1) / (M2-M1) “OFSt”= D2 - (“rot”x M2)

where:
M1 =measured value 1
D1 = visualisation value when the instrument measures M1
M2 =measured value 2

TLK 35 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Vr. 01 - ISTR 06484 - PAG. 7

D2 = visualisation value when the instrument measures M2

TLK 35 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Vr. 01 - ISTR 06484 - PAG. 8

It then follows that the instrument will visualise :

DV = MV x “rot”+ “OFSt”

where: DV = visualised value MV= measured value

Example 1: It is desired that the instrument visualises the value effectively measured at 20° but that, at 200°, it visualises a
value lower than 10° (190°).
Therefore : M1=20 ; D1=20 ; M2=200 ; D2=190
“rot”= (190 - 20) / (200 - 20) = 0,944
“OFSt”= 190 - (0,944 x 200) = 1,2

Example 2: It is desired that the instrument visualises 10° whilst the value actually measured is 0°, but, at 500° it visualises a
50° higher value (550°).
Therefore : M1=0 ; D1=10 ; M2=500 ; D2=550
“rot”= (550 - 10) / (500 - 0) = 1,08
“OFSt”= 550 - (1,08 x 500) = 10

By using par. “FiL”it is possible to program time constant of the software filter for the input value measured, in order to
reduce noise sensitivity (increasing the time of reading).
In case of measurement error, the instrument supplies the power as programmed on par. “OPE”.
This power will be calculated according to cycle time programmed for the PID controller, while for the ON/OFF controllers the
cycle time is automatically considered to be equal to 20 sec. (e.g. In the event of probe error with ON/OFF control and
“OPE” =50, the control output will be activated for 10 sec., then it will be deactivated for 10 sec. and so on until the
measurement error remains.).

By using par. “InE”it is also possible to decide the conditions of the input error, allowing the instrument to give the power
programmed on par. “ OPE”as output.
The possibilities of par. “
InE”are :
= Or : the condition occurs in case of over-range or probe breakage
= Ur : the condition occurs in case of under-range or probe breakage
= Our : the condition occurs in case of over-range or under-range or probe breakage
]
Using par. “diSP”, located in the group “PAn”, it is possible to set normal visualization of the display which can be the
process variable (dEF), the control power (Pou), the active Set Point (SP.F) the Set Point operating when there are active
ramps (SP.o) or alarm threshold AL1, AL2 or AL3 (AL1, AL2, AL3).
]
Again in the group “PAn”the par. “AdE”is present that defines the 3 led shift index functioning.
The lighting up of the green led = indicates that the process value is within the range [SP+AdE ... SP-AdE], the lighting up of
the led –indicates that the process value is lower than [SP-AdE] and the lighting up of the led + indicates that the process
value is higher than [SP+AdE].

4.2 - OUTPUTS CONFIGURATION

]
The instrument’ s outputs can be programmed by entering the group of parameters “Out, where the relative parameters
“O1F”, “O2F”and “O3F”(depending on the number of outputs available on the instrument) are located.
The outputs can be set for the following functions :
- Main control output (1.rEG)
- Secondary control output (2.rEG)
- Alarm output normally open (ALno)
- Alarm output normally closed (ALnc)
- Alarm output normally closed with led reverse indication (ALni)
- Output deactivated (OFF)
]
The coupling outputs number outputs –number alarms can be made in the group referring to the alarm to the alarm (“AL1”
,
] ]
“AL2” , “AL3”).

4.3 - ON/OFF CONTROL (1rEG)

]
All the parameters referring to the ON/OFF control are contained in the group “rEG”.
This type of control can be obtained by programming par."Cont" = On.FS or = On.FA and works on the output programmed as
1.rEG, depending on the measure, on the active Set Point “SP”, on the functioning mode "Func”and on the hysteresis
"HSEt".
The instrument carries out an ON/OFF control with symmetric hysteresis if “ Cont" = On.FS or with asymmetrical hysteresis if
“Cont”= On.Fa.
The control works in the following way : in the case of reverse action, or heating (“
FunC” =HEAt), it deactivates the output, when
the process value reaches [SP + HSEt] in case of symmetrical hysteresis, or [SP] in case of asymmetrical hysteresis and is
then activated again when the process value goes below value [SP - HSEt].
Vice versa, in case of direct action or cooling ("Func”
=CooL), it deactivates the output, when the process value reaches [SP -
HSEt] in case of symmetrical hysteresis, or [SP] in case of asymmetrical hysteresis and is activated again when the process
value goes above value [SP + HSEt].

4.4 - NEUTRAL ZONE ON/OFF CONTROL (1rEG - 2rEG)

]
All the parameters referring to Neutral Zone ON/OFF control are contained in the group “rEG”.
This type of control can be obtained when 2 outputs are programmed respectively as 1.rEG and 2.rEG and the par. “Cont”=
nr .
The Neutral Zone control is used to control plants in which there is an element which causes a positive increase (ex. Heater,
humidifier, etc.) and an element which causes a negative increase (ex. Cooler, de-humidifier, etc).
The control functions works on the programmed outputs depending on the measurement, on the active Set Point “SP”and on
the hysteresis "HSEt".
The control works in the following way : it deactivates the outputs when the process value reaches the Set Point and it activates
the output 1.rEG when the process value goes below value [SP - HSEt], or it activates the output 2.rEG when the process value
goes above [SP + HSEt].
Consequently, the element causing a positive increase has to be connected to the output programmed as 1.rEG while the
element causing a negative increase has to be connected to the output programmed as 2.rEG.

If 2.rEG output is used to control compressor is possible to use the “ Compressor Protection”function that has the meaning to
avoid compressor “ short cycles” .
This function allows a control by time on the output 2.rEG activation, independently by the temperature control request.
The protection is a “ delayed after deactivation”type.
This protection permits to avoid the output activation for a time programmable on par. “ CPdt”(expressed in sec.); the output
activation will occurs only after the elapsing of time “
CPdt” .
The time programmed on parameter “ CPdt”is counted starting from the last output deactivation.
Obviously, whether during the time delay caused by the compressor protection function, the regulator request should stop, the
output activation foreseen after time “ CPdt”would be erased.
The function is not active programming “ CPdt”=OFF.
The led relative to 2.rEG output blinks during the phases of output activation delay, caused by “ Compressor Protection”
function.

4.5 - SINGLE ACTION PID CONTROL (1rEG)

]
All the parameters referring to PID control are contained in the group “rEG”.
The Single Action PID control can be obtained by programming par."Cont" = Pid and works on the output 1.rEG depending on
the active Set Point “SP” , on the functioning mode "Func”and on the instrument’
s PID algorithm with two degree of freedom.

In order to obtain good stability of the process variable, in the event of fast processes, the cycle time “
tcr1”has to have a low
value with a very frequent intervention of the control output.
In this case use of a solid state relay (SSR) is recommended for driving the actuator.

The Single Action PID control algorithm foresees the setting of the following parameters :
"Pb" –Proportional Band
"tcr1" –Cycle time of the output 1.rEG
"Int" –Integral Time
"rS" –Manual Reset (if “Int =0 only)
"dEr" –Derivative Time
“FuOC”- Fuzzy Overshoot Control

This last parameter allows the variable overshoots at the start up of the process or at the changing of the Set Point to be
avoided.
Please remember that a low value on this parameter reduces the overshoot while a high value increase it.

4.6 - DOUBLE ACTION PID CONTROL (1rEG - 2rEG)

]
All the parameters referring to PID control are contained in the group “rEG”.
The Double Action PID control is used to control plants where there is an element which causes a positive increase (ex.
Heating) and an element which causes a negative increase (ex. Cooling).
This type of control can be obtained when 2 outputs are programmed respectively as 1.rEG and 2.rEG and the par. “Cont”=
Pid.
The element causing a positive increase has to be connected to the output programmed as 1.rEG while the element causing a
negative increase has to be connected to the output programmed as 2.rEG.
The Double Action PID control works on the outputs 1.rEG and 2.rEG depending on the active Set Point “SP”and on the
instrument’s PID algorithm with two degrees of freedom.
In order to obtain good stability of the process variable, in case of fast processes, the cycle times “
tcr1”and “
tcr2”have to have
a low value with a very frequent intervention of the control outputs.
In this case use of solid state relays (SSR) to drive the actuators is recommended.

TLK 35 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Vr. 01 - ISTR 06484 - PAG. 11

The Double Action PID control algorithm needs the programming of the following parameters :

"Pb" - Proportional Band

"tcr1" - Cycle time of the output 1.rEG
“tcr 2”- Cycle time of the output 2.rEG
"Int" - Integral Time
"rS" - Manual Reset (if “Int =0 only)
"dEr" - Derivative Time
“FuOC”- Fuzzy Overshoot Control
"Prat" - Power Ratio or relation between power of the element controlled by output 2.rEG and power of the element controlled
by output 1.rEG.
If par. “
Prat”= 0, the output 2.rEG is disabled and the control behaves exactly as a single action PID controller, through output
1.rEG.

4.7 - AUTOTUNING AND SELFTUNING FUNCTIONS

]
All the parameters referring to the AUTO-TUNING and SELF-TUNING functions are contained in the group “rEG”.
The AUTO-TUNING and SELF-TUNING functions permit the automatic tuning of the PID controller.
The AUTO-TUNING function permits the calculation of thePID parameters by means of a FAST type tuning cycle and, at the
end of this operation, the parameters are stored into the instrument’
s memory and remain constant during control.
The SELF-TUNING function (rule based "TUNE-IN") instead allows control monitoring and the continuous calculation of the
parameters during control.

Both functions automatically calculate the following parameters :

"Pb" - Proportional Band
"tcr1" - Cycle time of the output 1rEG
"Int" - Integral Time
"dEr" - Derivative Time
“FuOC”- Fuzzy Overshoot Control
and, for the Double Action PID control, also :
“tcr 2”- Cycle time of the output 2rEG
"Prat" - Power Ratio P 2.rEG/ P 1.rEG

To activate the AUTO-TUNING function proceed as follows :

1) Program and activate the desired Set Point.
2) Program par. "Cont" =Pid.
3) Program par. "Func" according to the process to be controlled through output 1rEG.
4) Program an output as 2.rEG if the instrument controls a plant with double action
5) Program par. "Auto" as:
- "1”–if auto-tuning is desired automatically, each time the instrument is switched on, on the condition that the process value is
lower (with “ Func”=HEAt) than [SP- |SP/2|] or higher (with “ Func”=CooL) than [SP+ |SP/2|].
- "2" –if auto-tuning is desired automatically, the next time the instrument is switched on, on the condition that the process
value is lower (with “ Func”=HEAt) than [SP- |SP/2|] or higher (with “ Func”=CooL) than [SP+ |SP/2|], and once the tuning is
finished, the par. “ Auto”is automatically swapped to the OFF state
- "3" - if manual auto-tuning is desired, by selecting par. “ tunE”in the main menu or by correctly programming key “ U”as
“USrb”= tunE. The Autotuning will start at the condition that the process value is lower (with “ Func”=HEAt) than [SP- |SP/5|] or
higher (with “ Func”=CooL) than [SP+ |SP/5|].
- "4" - if it’
s desired to activate the autotuning automatically to every change of Set Point, or at the end of programmed Soft-
Start cycle. The Autotuning will start at the condition that the process value is lower (with “
Func”=HEAt) than [SP- |SP/5|] or
higher (with “ Func”=CooL) than [SP+ |SP/5|].
6) Exit from the parameter programming.
7) Connect the instrument to the controlled plant.
8) Activate the Auto-tuning by switch off and turn on the instrument if “ =1 or 2 , or by selecting par. “tunE”in the main
Auto”
menu (or by correctly programming key “ U”).

At this point the Auto-tuning function is activated and is indicated by the flashing led AT/ST.
The regulator carries out several operations on the connected plant in order to calculate the most suitable PID parameters.
If, at the Auto-tuning start, the condition for the lower or higher process value is not found the display will show “ErAt”and the
instrument will be swapped to normal control conditions according to the previously programmed parameters.
To make the error “ ErAt”disappear, press key P.
The Auto-tuning cycle duration has been limited to 12 hours maximum.
If Auto-tuning is not completed within 12 hours, the instrument will show "noAt" on the display.
In case of probe error, the instrument automatically stops the cycle in progress.
The values calculated by Auto-tuning are automatically stored in the instrument’ s memory at the end of the correct PID
parameters tuning.

Note : The instrument is already programmed in our factory to carry out auto-tuning at every instrument switch on ("Auto" = 1).

TLK 35 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Vr. 01 - ISTR 06484 - PAG. 12

To activate the SELF-TUNING function proceed as follows

1) Program and activate the desired Set Point.

2) Program par. "Cont" =Pid.
3) Program par. "Func" according to the process to be controlled through output 1.rEG.
4) Program an output as 2.rEG if the instrument controls a dual-action plant
5) Program par. "SELF" = yES
6) Exit from the parameter programming.
7) Connect the instrument to the controlled plant.
8) Activate Self-tuning selecting par. “tunE”in the main menu (or by correctly programming key “
U”).

When the Self-tuning function is active, the led AT/ST is permanently lit up and all the PID parameters ("Pb", "Int", "dEr", etc.)
are no longer visualized.

Note : It’
s always preferable tuning the instrument using the Autotuning and to activate the Selftuning after because the tuning
through Selftuning is more slow.

To stop the Auto-tuning cycle or deactivate the Self-tuning function select one of the control types : "rEG", "OPLO" or "OFF"
from the menu “ SEL” . If the instrument is switched off during Auto-tuning or with the Self-tuning function activated, these
functions will remain activated the next time it is switched on.

4.8 - REACHING OF THE SET POINT AT CONTROLLED SPEED AND AUTOMATIC SWITCHING BETWEEN TWO SET
POINTS (RAMPS AND DWELL TIME)
]
All the parameters referring to the ramps functioning are contained in the group “rEG”.
It is possible to reach the set point in a predetermined time (in any case longer than the time the plant would naturally need).
This could be useful in those processes (heating or chemical treatments, etc.) where the set point has to be reached gradually,
in a predetermined time.
Once the instrument has reached the first Set Point (SP1) it is possible to have automatic switching to the second Set Point
(SP2) after a set time, thus obtaining a simple automatic process cycle.
These functions are available for all the programmable controls (PID single and double action, ON/OFF and Neutral Zone
ON/OFF).
The function is determined by the following parameters :
"SLor" - Gradient of first ramp (to reach “ SP1” ) expressed in unit/minute
"SLoF" - Gradient of second ramp (to reach “ SP2” ) expressed in unit/minute.
"dur.t" - Dwell time of Set Point “ SP1”before automatic switching to Set Point “ SP2”(expressed in hrs. and min.).
The functions are deactivated when the relative parameters are = InF.

Note: In case of PID control, if Auto-tuning is desired whilst the ramp function is active, this will not be carried out until the
tuning cycle has been completed. It is therefore recommended that Auto-tuning be started avoiding activating the ramp function
and, once the tuning is finished, deactivate Auto-tuning (“ Auto”= OFF), program the desired ramp and, if it automatic tuning is
desired, enable the Self-tuning function.

If is desired only one ramp (to reach “SP1”) it is enough to program on the par. "SLor" the desired value.
The ramp "SLor" it will always active at power on and when the Set Point value “ SP1”is changed.

If it is desired an automatic cycle from the power on instead it is necessary to program the par. "nSP" = 2, to program the two
Set Point values "SP1" and "SP2" and naturally to program the par. "SLor", "dur.t" and "SLoF" with the desired values.
In this case at the end of the cycle all the ramps won't be more active.

4.9 - SOFT-START FUNCTION
]
All the parameters referring to the Soft -Start functioning are contained in the group “rEG”.
The Soft-Start function only works through PID control and allows the limitation of control power when the instrument is
switched on, for a programmable period of time.
This is useful when the actuator, driven by the instrument, may be damaged excess power supplied when the application is not
yet in the normal rating. (ex. for certain heating elements).

The function depends on the following parameters :

“St.P”- Soft-Start power
“SSt”- Soft-Start time (expressed in hh.mm)
“HSEt”- End Soft Start cycle threshold

If both parameters are programmed with values other than OFF, when switched on the instrument gives an output power as
programmed on par. “ St.P”for the time programmed on par. “ SSt”or when is reached the absolute value programmed at par.
“HSEt” .
Practically, the instrument works in manual condition and switches to automatic control at the elapsing of time “SSt”or when is
reached the absolute value programmed at par. “ HSEt” .
To disable the Soft-Start function simply program par. “ SSt”= OFF.
Whenever, a measurement errors occurs during the Soft-Start execution, the function is interrupted and the instrument gives
an output power as programmed on par. “ OPE” .
If the measurement is restored, the Soft-Start is still deactivated.

The Autotuning will start automatically at the end of programmed Soft-Start cycle at the condition that the process value is
lower (with “ Func”=HEAt) than [SP- |SP/5|] or higher (with “ Func”=CooL) than [SP+ |SP/5|].

4.10 - ALARMS OUTPUTS FUNCTIONS (AL1, AL2, AL3)

The alarms (AL1, AL2, AL3) are depending on the process value and before to set his functioning it’ s necessary to establish to
which output the alarm has to correspond to.

= ALnc if the alarm output has to be ON when the alarm is not active, while it’ s OFF when the alarm is active
= ALni if the alarm output has to be ON when the alarm is not active, while it is OFF when the alarm is active but with reverse

Note: In all the examples that follow is made reference to the alarm AL1. Naturally the operation of the other alarms results
analogous.
]
Have now access at the group “AL1”, and program on par. “OAL1”, to which output the alarm signal has to be sent.
The alarm functioning is instead defined by parameters :
"AL1t " - ALARM TYPE
"Ab1" - ALARM CONFIGURATION
“AL1”- ALARM THRESHOLD
“AL1L”- LOW ALARM THRESHOLD (for band alarm) OR MINIMUM SET OF AL1 ALARM THRESHOLD (for low or high

4.11 - LOOP BREAK ALARM FUNCTION

]
All the parameters referring to the Loop Break alarm function are contained in the group “LbA”.
The Loop Break alarm is available on all the instruments, which intervenes when, for any reason (short-circuit of a
thermocouple, thermocouple inversion, load interruption), the loop control is interrupted.
First of all, it is necessary to establish to which output the alarm has to correspond.
]
To do this it is necessary to set the parameter relative to the output to be used (“O1F”, “ ,“
O2F” ) in the group “Out”,
O3F”
programming the parameter as :

= ALno if the alarm output has to be ON when the alarm is active while it is OFF when the alarm is not active.
= ALnc if the alarm output has to be ON when the alarm is not active while it is OFF when the alarm is active.
= ALni if the alarm output has to be ON when the alarm is not active, while it is OFF when the alarm is active but with reverse

The Loop Break alarm is activated if the output power remains at the 100% of the value for the time programmed on par.
"LbAt" (expressed in sec.).
To avoid false alarms, the value of this parameter has to be set considering the time the plant takes to reach the Set point
when the measured value is a long distance from it (for example at the plant start-up).
On alarm intervention, the instrument visualizes the message “LbA”and behaves as in the case of a measurement error
]
giving a power output as programmed on par. “OPE”(programmable in the group “InP”).
To restore normal functioning after the alarm, select the control mode “
OFF”and then re-program the automatic control (“ rEG”
)
after checking the correct functioning of probe and actuator.
To exclude the Loop Break alarm, set “ OLbA”= OFF.

4.12 - FUNCTIONING OF KEY “U”

]
The function of key “
U”can be set through par. “USrb”contained in the group “
“PAn”.

The parameter can be programmed as :

= noF : no function
= tunE : Pushing the key for 1 sec. at least, it is possible to activate/deactivate Auto-tuning or Self-tuning
= OPLO : Pushing the key for 1 sec. at least, it is possible to swap from automatic control (rEG) to manual one (OPLO) and
vice versa.

= OFF : Pushing the key for 1 sec. at least, it is possible to swap from automatic control (rEG) to OFF control (OFF) and vice
versa.

4.13 - DIGITAL INPUTS

The instrument can be equipped with 2 digital inputs.

]
The function of the digital inputs can be set through par. “diF”contained in the group “ “InP”.
The parameter can be programmed as :
= noF : no function
= Aac : Closing the contact connected to the digital input 1 it is possible to acknowledge the alarm. (see par. 4.10)
= ASi :Closing the contact connected to the digital input 1 it is possible to acknowledge an active alarm (see par. 4.10)
= HoLd :Closing the contact connected to the digital input 1 there is the hold of the measure in that instant (P.A.: not the
reading on the display, therefore the indication could settle with a proportional delay to the filter of measure). With the function
hold the instrument operate the control in base to the memorized measure.
Reopening the contact the instrument come back to the normal acquisition of the measure.
= OFF :Closing the contact connected to the digital input 1 it is possible to select the OFF control (OFF).

4.14 - RS 485 SERIAL INTERFACE

The instrument can be equipped with a RS 485 serial communication interface, by means of which it is possible to connect the
regulator with a net to which other instruments (regulators of PLC) are connected, all depending typically on a personal
computer used as plant supervisor. Using a personal computer it is possible to acquire all the function information and to
program all the instrument’ s configuration parameters. The software protocol adopted for TLK35 is a MODBUS RTU type,
widely used in several PLC and supervision programs available on the market (TLK series protocol manual is available on
request).
The interface circuit allows the connection of up to 32 instruments on the same line.
To maintain the line in rest conditions a 120 Ohm resistance (Rt) must be connected to the end of the line.
The instrument is equipped with two terminals called A and B which have to be connected with all the namesake terminals of
the net. For the wiring operation they must be interlaced with a double cable (telephonic type).
Nevertheless, particularly when the net results very long or noised and being present potential differences between the GND
terminals, it is advisable to adopt a screened cable wired as in the drawing.

If the instrument is equipped with a serial interface, the parameters to be programmed are the following, all present in the
]
parameters group “SEr”:
"Add" : Address of the station. Set a different number for each station, from 1 to 255.
"baud" : Transmission speed (baud-rate), programmable from 1200 to 38400 baud. All the stations have to have the same
transmission speed.
"PACS" : Programming access. If programmed as "LoCL" this means that the instrument is only programmable from the
keyboard, if programmed as "LorE" it is programmable both from the keyboards and serial line.
If an attempt is made to enter the programming from the keyboard whilst a communication through the serial port is in progress
the instrument will visualise "buSy" to indicate the busy state.

4.15 - PARAMETERS CONFIGURATION BY “KEY01”

The instrument is equipped with a connector that allows the transfer from and toward the instrument of the functioning
parameters through the device GREISINGER KEY01 with 5 poles connector.
This device it’
s mainly useable for the serial programming of the instruments which need to have the same parameters

To transfer the configuration of an instrument into the device (UPLOAD) it is necessary to proceed in the following way:
1) position both dip switch of KEY 01 in the OFF mode.
2) connect the device to the instrument TLK plugging the special connector.
3) verify that the instrument or the device are supplied
4) observe the indication led on the device KEY 01: if it results green this means that a configuration is already loaded on the

To transfer the configuration loaded on the device onto an instrument of the same family (DOWNLOAD), it is necessary to
proceed in the following way:
1) position both dip switch of KEY 01 in the ON mode.
2) connect the device to an instrument TLK having the same features of the one from which has been downloaded the desired
configuration, plugging the special connector.
3) verify that the instrument or the device are supplied
4) observe the indication led on the device KEY 01: it has to result green, because if the led results green blinking or red
blinking, this means that on the device it has not been downloaded any valid configuration and therefore it’ s useless to
continue.
5) if the les results green, press the button placed on the device.
6) observe the indication led : after having pressed the button, the led becomes red and therefore, at the end of the data
transfer, it becomes green.
7) now it is possible to disconnect the device.

For additional info, please have a look at the KEY01 instruction manual.
