PROGRAMS CYCLE 
Ptol 
Program Tolerance - Maximum admitted deviation of 
PV  with  respect  to  SP.  If  exceeded,  the  program 
execution is suspended (the internal timer freezes) until 
the  deviation  be  returns  back  within  the  defined 
tolerance. 
The value 0 (zero) disables the function. 
Psp0 
Psp9 
Program SP’s, 0 to 9: Group of 10 values of SP that 
define the Ramp and Soak profile segments. 
Pt1 
Pt9 
Program  Time  -  Time  intervals  of  program 
segments. Defines  the  time of  duration,  in minutes, 
of each 9 program segments. Configurable between 0 
and 9999 minutes. 
Pe1 
Pe9 
Program  event  -  Program  Segment  Alarm. 
Parameters  that  define  which  alarms  are  to  be 
activated  during  the execution  of  a certain program 
segment: 
    OFF   Do not start the alarm in this segment. 
    A1   Start alarm 1 when the program reaches 
      this segment. 
    A2   Start alarm 2 when the program reaches 
      this segment. 
    A1A2   Start alarm 1 and 2 when the program 
      reaches this segment. 
The alarms chosen must have its function configured 
as “rS”. 
rPt.P 
Repeat  Program  - Determines  the  number  of  times 
which one program must be REPEATED besides the 
first  execution.  Configurable  between  0  and  9999 
times.  After  the  last  execution, all  controller  outputs 
are turned off ((RUN=OFF). 
ALARMS CYCLE 
Fva1 
Fva2 
Function Alarm. Defines the functions for the alarms 
among the options of the Table 02. 
Sp.a1 
Sp.a2 
Alarm  SP: Value  that defines  the alarms  actuation 
point.  For  alarms  programmed  with  functions  of 
Differential type, these parameters define deviations. 
bla1 
bla2 
Blocking Alarm. 
YES  Enables initial blocking.   
NO  Inhibits initial blocking. 
xya1 
xya2 
Alarm  Hysteresis.  Defines the  difference  between the 
value  of  PV  at  which  the  alarm  is  triggered  and  the 
value at which it is turned off (in engineering units). 
Flsh 
Flash.  Allows  visual  signalization  of  an  alarm 
occurrence by flashing  the indication of PV in the 
operation level. 
YES  Enables the alarm signalization blinking PV. 
NO   Disable the alarm signalization blinking PV. 
INPUT CYCLE 
Type 
Input  Type.  Selects  the  input  signal  type  to  be 
connected  to  the  process  variable  input.  Refer  to 
Table 01. 
fltr 
Digital Input  Filter.  Used  to  improve  the  stability  of 
the measured signal (PV). Adjustable between 0 and 
20. In 0 (zero) it means filter turned off and 20 means 
maximum filter. The higher the filter value, the slower 
is the response of the measured value. 
Dp.po 
Decimal  Point.  Determines  the  presentation  of  the 
decimal point. 
vni t 
Unit. Defines the temperature unit to be used: 
(    Indication in Celsius.     
f    Indication in Fahrenheit. 
0ffs 
Offset. Parameter that allows the user to correct the 
PV value indicated. 
Spll 
SP  Low  Limit.  Defines  the  SP  lower  limit.  To  0-50 
mV  input  type  sets  the  lower  range  for  SP  and  PV 
indication. 
Spxl 
SP High Limit. Defines the SP upper limit. 
1e.ov 
Percentage value to be applied to the output when a 
failure in the sensor connected to the controller input 
occurs. 
Lbd.t 
Time  interval  for  the  LBD  function.  Defines  the 
maximum interval of time  for the PV  to react to  a 
control command. In minutes. 
f.en 
F Enable.  Enables  the utilization of  F key  to  execute 
the RUN function. 
YES  Enables F key to execute the RUN function. 
NO   Disables it. 
m.en 
M Enable. Enables the utilization of   key to change 
the control mode to Automatic or Manual. 
YES   key enabled. 
NO    key disable. 
CALIBRATION CYCLE 
All  types  of  input  are  calibrated  in  the  factory.  If  a  new 
calibration  is  required,  it  should  be  performed  by  a  skilled 
professional.  If  this  cycle  is  accessed  accidentally,  do  not 
change its parameters. 
pass 
Password.  This  parameter  is presented  before the 
protected cycles. See item Protection of Configuration. 
(alib 
Calibration. It  enables the  calibration  possibility of 
the  controller.  When  are  disabled,  the  related 
parameters calibration are hidden. 
inL( 
Input  Low  Calibration.  Enter  the  value 
corresponding  to  the  low scale  signal  applied to  the 
analog input. 
ink( 
Input  High  Calibration.  Enter  the  value 
corresponding  to  the  full  scale  signal  applied  to  the 
analog input. 
0vL( 
Output Low Calibration. Analog output calibration. 
Introduction  of  lower  value  present  in  the  analog 
output. 
0vk( 
Output  High  Calibration.  Analogic  output 
calibration. Introduction of higher value present in the 
analog output. 
rstr 
Restore. Restores the factory calibration for all inputs 
and outputs, disregarding modifications carried out by 
the user. 
(j 
Cold  Junction.  Temperature  of  controller  cold 
junction. 
Pas.( 
Password Change. Allows defining  a new  access 
password, always different from zero. 
Prot 
Protection.  Sets  up  the  Level  of  Protection.  See 
Table 03.
