Temperature Controller 1.2.2 iB6 / iB12 1.0 Introduction PID Control with Autotuning When an iB6 or iB12 zone is in Normal (closed loop) mode, Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is provided. The iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controllers also support Manual (open loop) mode that overrides automatic control. In Manual mode you control the output by entering a fixed output percentage value.
1.0 Introduction 1.2.4 iB6 / iB12 Temperature Controller Programmable Boost Function Every iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controller supports a boost function. For each zone you can use the Boost Config menu to configure a special setpoint (closed loop boost) or a special fixed output percentage (open loop boost) to be used when the boost button is pressed.
Temperature Controller iB6 / iB12 1.0 Introduction 1.4 What Happens When You Power Up the Controller When an iB6 or iB12 Temperature Controller is powered up using the switch on the back, all LEDs and all elements in the LCD display light briefly, and then software versions (of the display and the controller hardware) are displayed. At the conclusion of the startup process, the process values and setpoints for all zones are displayed.
2.0 Setup Sequence iB6 / iB12 Temperature Controller 2.1 Setup Sequence The following list summarises the configuration and startup tasks to be accomplished once the controllers are wired as shown on the diagrams shipped with the unit. Refer to Section 5 for information about all configuration parameters, parameter interactions and valid ranges. 1) Turn on the controller using the switch on the back (shown below). When the unit is powered up, the controller goes through its startup sequence (see 1.
Temperature Controller 2.0 Setup Sequence iB6 / iB12 d) Change the unit of measure by pressing e) Exit the menu system by pressing and holding for several seconds. The PV and SP for all zones (except any offline zones) will be displayed in the selected unit of measure. Other temperature values previously entered while a different unit of measure was in use will be converted automatically. or . 4) If the factory settings listed in subsection 3.
3.0 User Interface iB6 / iB12 Temperature Controller for Manual (closed loop) for Standby If the zone is configured to start up in Idle after the run/idle button status LED will be lit. Whenever a zones output is on, its green output has been pressed, no LED is lit. 3.1 Overview During operation, the front panel contains a two-line display that displays the PV (process value) and SP (Normal (closed loop) mode setpoint or Manual (open loop) mode output percentage) for each zone during normal operation.

Information about each parameter is in Section 5. At the factory, all zones settings are identical. When a parameter is accessed, the display of its name alternates with the display of its current value.

4.0 Alarms & Alarm Indication iB6 / iB12 Temperature Controller 4.1 Types of Alarms The iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controllers support high and low deviation alarms, configurable separately for each zone (see subsection 5.6). The unit also recognises process problems (such as loop break, reversed and open sensors, and process temperature exceeding configured safety limit) and problems with its own operation. 4.

Temperature Controller iB6 / iB12 6.0 PID Controller Tuning 6.1 Introduction iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controllers support automatic tuning for control of zones running in CompuCycle Normal (closed loop) mode. By default, every iB6 and iB12 controller is configured to execute the Autotune operation the first time it is powered up, then to disable the Autotune feature, even if Autotune was not successful.
6.0 PID Controller Tuning iB6 / iB12 Temperature Controller During the Autotune operation, the display for the selected zones blinks “Tun.” Unless you want to terminate the Autotune by changing a zones mode, do not press any buttons during the Autotune operation. The lower line will continue to display the setpoint you entered in Step 2.
Temperature Controller iB6 / iB12 6.0 PID Controller Tuning 6.4 Manual Tuning (Zeigler-Nichols PID Method) 6.4.1 Introduction This tuning method may be used if the spread between initial process temperature and process operating temperature is small, or if the process is too slow for Autotuning. Manual tuning requires that zones be tuned one at a time and that the PV be tracked over time. (Graph the displayed PV against time manually.) All zones should be running while manually tuning one zone.
7.0 Restricting Functions iB6 / iB12 Temperature Controller 7.1 Introduction If you have access to the Superv [Supervisor] Config menu, you can disable any of the following: the soft start feature (not recommended), boost button , mode button , use of the front-panel buttons to change setpoints or configuration parameters. 7.2 Procedure To disable/enable a button or function: 1) Select any zone by pressing .
Temperature Controller 8.0 Resetting Default Values iB6 / iB12 8.1 Introduction Using this function returns all configuration parameter values for the selected zone(s) to their defaults (shown in Section 5). The setpoints for the selected zone(s) will be changed to 25 °C (77 °F). Reloading defaults never affects the following settings that apply to the whole controller: display units, input type.
