Table 1 - Input Types 
OUTPUTS, ALARMS AND DIGITAL INPUTS CONFIGURATION 
The  controller  input/output channels  can  assume multiple functions, 
depending  on  configuration:  control  output,  alarm  output,  digital 
output, digital input, and PV or  SV analog retransmission. These 
channels are identified as I/O1, I/O2, I/O3, I/O4 and I/O 5. 
The basic controller model comes loaded with: 
• I/O1 - relay output 
• I/O2 - relay output 
• I/O5 - analog output (0-20 or 4-20mA), pulse 10V max, digital I/O 
The options available are: 
• I/O3 - 3rd relay (option 1) 
• I/O3 and I/O4 - 2 digital input/output (option 2) 
• Heater break protection (option 3). 
The function code of each I/O can be selected among the options on 
Table  2.  Only  valid  function  codes  are  displayed  for  each  I/O  (for 
example, I/O1, which is a relay, can be configured with functions 0 to 
5 only; on the other hand, I/05 can perform all 16 functions). 
The description for the functions follows: 
• CODE 0 - No function. The I/O channel programmed with code 0 
will not be used by the controller. It is available to be used by serial 
communication as digital output. 
• CODES 1 to 4 - Alarm output - Available for all I/O channels. The 
selected channel can be used as output to Alarms 1 to 4. 
• CODE 5 - PWM control output - Available for all I/O channels. 
• CODE 6 - Digital input - Standard for I/O5 and optional for I/O3 and 
I/O4. 
Closed : Manual control 
Opened: Automatic control 
• CODE 7 - Digital input - Standard for I/O5 and optional for I/O3 and 
I/O4. Start/Stop input (“rvn
rvnrvn
rvn” : YES / no). 
Closed : outputs enabled 
Opened: outputs disabled 
• CODE 8 - Digital input - Standard for I/O5 and optional for I/O3 and 
I/O4. 
Closed: remote SP (4-20 mA in remote SP input) 
Opened: main SP (internal programmed SV)

• CODE 9 - Digital input - Standard for I/O5 and optional for I/O3 and 
I/O4. 
Opened: enables R&S program 
Closed: holds R&S  program (the  program resumes when the 
contact is opened again) 
• CODE 10 - Digital input - Standard for I/O5 and optional for I/O3 and 
I/O4.  Selects  R&S program  1. Used  to alternate between  the main 
Setpoint and a second Setpoint  defined by the R&S program 1. 
Closed : selects program 1 
Opened: uses main Setpoint 
• CODE 11  - Analog  control output  - I/O5  only. 0-20  mA control 
output. 
• CODE 12  - Analog  control output  - I/O5  only. 4-20  mA control 
output. 
• CODES  13  to  16  -  Analog  retransmission.  I/O5  only.  Configures 
I/O5 to output a 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA analog signal proportional to 
PV or SP. 
ALARM FUNCTIONS 
The controller has 4 independent alarms. They can be programmed 
to operate with nine different functions, represented in Table 3. 
•  Open sensor 
It is activated whenever the input sensor is broken or disconnected. 
•  Event alarm 
It activates alarm(s) in specific segments of the program. 
•  Resistance fail 
Detects  a heater  broken  condition, by  monitoring  the load  current 
when the control output is activated. This alarm function requires an 
optional device (option 3). Details of the "resistance fail" option can 
be  found  in  a  specific  documentation  that  is  sent  with  the  product 
when the option is purchased.
