Configuration Modes - ascon KX Series Engineering Manual

4. CONFIGuRATION PROCEDuRE
4.1 INTRODuCTION
When the instrument is powered, it starts immediately to work
according to the parameters values loaded in its memory.
The instrument behaviour and its performance are governed
by the value of the stored parameters.
At the first start up the instrument will use a "default"
parameter set (factory parameter set); this set is a generic
one (e.g. a TC J input is programmed).
wARNING! before connecting the output actuators,
we recommend to configure the parameters to
suit your application (e.g.: input type, Control
strategy, alarms, etc.).
To change these parameters you need to enter the
"Configuration mode".
4.2 INSTRuMENT bEhAVIOuR AT
POwER ON
At power ON the instrument can start in one of the following
mode depending on its configuration:
Auto mode without program functions.
– The upper display will show the measured value;
– The lower display will show the Set point value;
– The decimal figure of the less significant digit of the lower
display is OFF;
– The instrument is performing the standard closed loop control.
Manual mode (OPLO).
– The upper display will show the measured value;
– The lower display will show alternately the power output
and the message oPLo and the MAN LED will lite;
– The instrument does not perform Automatic control;
– The control output is equal to 0% and can be manually
modified by and
Stand by mode (St.bY).
– The upper display will show the measured value;
– The lower display will show alternately the set point value
and the message St. b Y or od;
– The instrument does not perform any control (the control
outputs are OFF);
– The instrument is working as an indicator.
Auto mode with automatic program start up.
– The upper display will show the measured value
– The lower display will show one of the following information;
• The operative set point (when it is performing a ramp)
• The time of the segment in progress (when it is perfor-
ming a soak);
• The set point value alternate with the message St. b Y;
– In all cases, the decimal figure of the less significant digit
of the lower display is lit.
We define all the above described conditions as
"Standard Display".

4.3 hOw TO ENTER ThE

"CONFIGuRATION MODES"

Note: The KX Line is equipped with two different
"configuration" methods:
A) The "code" configuration method;
b) The "complete" configuration method.
The "code" configuration method is really fast but modifies
only the most common configuration parameters.
The "complete" configuration method allows to take
advantage of all instrument features, giving more capabilities
it requires more actions and time.
Note that you can take advantage by both methods because if
you use the code configuration and then you enter in the
complete configuration, all selections made by code are still valid.
In both cases the instrument have one complete parameter set.
We call this set "configuration parameter set" (or
"configuration parameters").
When code configuration method is used all the parameters
not modified by the code will maintain their default values.
In both cases the access to the configuration parameters is
protected by a password (a specific password for each method).
Note: The instrument will show only the parameters consis-
tent with the specific hardware and in accordance with
the value assigned to the previous parameters
(e.g.: if you set an output as "not used" the instrument
will mask all other parameters related to this output).
4.3.1 "Code" configuration procedure
The controller configuration (Input type, Control mode, etc.)
can be made entering two 4-digit codes.
Before to enter into code configuration we suggest you to
prepare the two codes according to the tables that follow.
Notes: 1. During the Code configuration procedure there is
no timeout.
2. To leave, at any time, the Configuration session
without saving the settings made, press the
button.
To enter into code configuration proceed as follows:
1. Push the button for more than 3 seconds.
The upper display will show PASS while the lower display
will show 0;
2. Using and buttons set the password programmed
in parameter [121] PAS4. The factory default password
for Code configuration is 300;
3. Push the button;
If the password is correct the instrument will show one of
the following conditions:
• If no code is present, the display shows codE on the
upper display and oFF on the lower display.
Push the button to continue.
The upper display will flash cod1 while the lower display
shows 0000.
• If a previous code was stored, the upper display will
flash cod1 while the lower display shows the value of
cod1 stored in memory.
