8. Ladder Programming
Create a ladder program to control the PID module.
Ladder Program Example
Notes:
The ladder program should be customized depending on actual applications.
Perform the auto-tuning (AT) near the set point (SP). If auto-tuning (AT) is performed near the ambient
temperature, temperature fluctuation cannot be given to the process. In such case, the auto-tuning (AT) may not
finish normally.
Once auto-tuning (AT) is performed, it is unnecessary to perform auto-tuning (AT) again as long as the process is
unchanged.
While external input I0 is on, CH0 control is
enabled. When Q0 (CH0 control upper limit
alarm output) is on, CH0 control is disabled.
When external input I1 is turned on, CH0
program control is started. When I1 is tuned off,
the program control is stopped.
When CH0 alarm 1 is triggered, Q0 is turned on.
While external input I2 is on, auto-tuning (AT) is
performed in each step of the program control
as follows:
• Step 0: When the remaining time is 5 minutes
• Step 1: When step 1 is started
• Step 2: When the remaining time is 5 minutes
• Step 3: When step 3 is started
When CH0 program control is completed, Q1 is
turned on.
While external input I3 is on, CH1 control is
enabled. When Q2 (CH1 control upper limit
alarm output) is on, CH1 control is disabled.
When external input I4 is turned on, CH1
program control is started. When I4 is turned off,
the program control is stopped.
When CH1 alarm 1 is triggered, Q2 is turned on.
While external input I5 is on, auto-tuning (AT) is
performed in each step of the program control
as follows:
• Step 0: When the remaining time is 5 minutes
• Step 1: When step 1 is started
• Step 2: When the remaining time is 5 minutes
• Step 3: When step 3 is started
When CH1 program control is completed, Q3 is
turned on.
