Calculating Detection Current Values - Omron E5CN User Manual

Using Heater Burnout, Heater Short, and Heater Overcurrent Alarms

3-10-3 Calculating Detection Current Values

Heater Burnout Detection 1/2 set value = Normal current value + Burnout current value
Heater overcurrent 1/2 set value = Normal current value + Overcurrent value

Note Heater voltage fluctuations are not considered here, so be take that
into account when setting the detection current.

• Calculate the set value using the following equation:
HS Alarm 1/2 set value = Leakage current value (output OFF) + HS current value
• To set the current for heater burnout when two or more heaters are con-
nected through the CT, use the value from when the heater with the small-
est current burns out. If all of the heaters have the same current, use the
value from when any one of them burns out.
• Make sure that the following conditions are satisfied:
Heater with a current of less than 10.0 A:
(Current value at normal operation) − (Current value at heater burnout) ≥
1 A
When the difference is less than 1 A, detection is unstable.
Heater with a current of 10.0 A or more:
(Current value at normal operation) − (Current value at heater burnout) ≥
2.5 A
When the difference is less than 2.5 A, detection is unstable.
