Controller N2000
NOVUS AUTOMATION 5/9
KEY
The key in front panel executes function 6 of Table 2:
Auto/Manual mode change. Operation of this key is enabled in
parameter aven

aven . The MAN indicator lights when the manual control
mode is selected.
EXTRA 24 VDC POWER SUPPLY – AUXILIAR P.S.
The controller provides a voltage power supply of 24 Vdc to excite
field transmitters with 25 mA current capacity. Available at the back
panel terminals 17 and 18.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
OPERATION CYCLE
PV Indication
(Red)
SV Indication
(Green)
PV AND SV INDICATION: The status display shows the
present value of PV (Process Variable). The parameter
display shows SV (Set Variable).
The status display shows “- - - -“ whenever PV exceeds the
maximum range or there is no signal at the input. In case of
hardware error the status display will show Ern
ErnErn
Ern, where n is the
error code.
avto

CONTROL MODE: YES indicates automatic control mode
(closed loop, PID or ON/OFF). NO indicates manual control
mode (open loop). Bumpless transfer from auto ↔ to manual
mode is available. If in doubt program YES.
PV Indication
(Red)
MV Indication
(Green)
MANIPULATED VARIABLE VALUE (MV): The upper display
shows PV value and the lower display shows the percentage
of MV applied to the control output. When in manual control
the MV value can be manually changed. When in auto mode
the MV value can only be viewed.
To distinguish the MV display from the SV display, the MV is
shown flashing intermittently.

ALARM BLOCK 1 TO 4: This function blocks the alarm at
power-up when the units is first energized.
YES enables and NO inhibits this blocking function. When
enabled the alarm will not be active at power-up waiting for
PV (Process Variable) to reach a non-alarm situation. From
this point on the alarm will be free to actuate should a new
alarm situation occur.
