normally used as option 5, PWM main control output. Refer 
to Table 2 for functions.

input/output.  Functions  0  to  10  are  available.  Refer  to 
Table 2  for  functions.  The  presence  of  this  I/O  option  is 
detected by the controller and the prompt menu will only be 
shown if the expansion option is available.

Table 2). This option is normally used for main control 
output or PV analog retransmission. 
CALIBRATION CYCLE 
All  input  and  output  types  are  factory  calibrated.  This  cycle  should 
only be accessed by experienced personnel. If in doubt do not press 
the   or   keys in this cycle.

RAMP AND SOAK PROFILE PROGRAM 
Seven  ramp  and  soak  profiles  with  up  to  7  segments  each can  be 
programmed. Longer profiles of up to 49 segments can be created by 
linking 2 or more profiles.

Figure 11 -  Example  of a complete ramp and 
soak profile 
Figure 12 - Example of a profile with 
fewer segments. (T4 is set 0) 
To execute a profile with fewer segments just program 0 (zero) for the 
time intervals that follow the last segment to be executed. 
The  program  tolerance  “Ptol
PtolPtol
Ptol”  defines  the  maximum  deviation 
between PV and SV for the execution of the profile. If this deviation is 
exceeded, the program will  be interrupted until the deviation falls  to 
within the tolerance band. 
Programming 0 (zero) at this prompt disables  the tolerance and the 
profile execution will not to be halted even if PV does not follow SV 
(time priority as opposed to SV priority). 
LINK OF PROGRAMS 
It  is  possible  to  create  a  more  complex  program,  with  up  to  49 
segments, joining the seven programs. This way,  at the end of a 
program execution the controller immediately starts to run another one. 
When  a  program  is  created,  it  must  be  defined  in  the  “LP
LPLP
LP"  screen 
whether there will be or not another program. 
To  make  the  controller  run  a  given  program  or  many  programs 
continuously, it is only necessary to link a program to itself or the last 
program to the first.
