(19) Control Register+199: Cooling Proportional Band
The cooling proportional band can be configured when the heating/cooling control is enabled. The cooling
proportional band is the multiplication of the heating proportional band.
Example:
When the heating proportional band is 10°C and the cooling proportional band is 2.0, the cooling proportional
band will be 20°C. If cooling proportional band value is 0.5, the cooling proportional band will be 5°C.
If the cooling proportional band is 0, the cooling side control will be ON/OFF control action. If the heating
proportional band is 0, both heating and cooling side controls will be ON/OFF control action.
(20) Control Register+200: Overlap/Dead Band
The overlap/dead band of the heating and cooling outputs can be configured when heating/cooling control is
enabled. When the configured value is bigger than 0, the value is used as the dead band. When the configured
value is less than 0, the value is used as overlap band.
When the overlap band is configured, the area in which both heating and cooling control outputs are turned on
is generated, and the energy loss is caused. However, the overlap helps enhance the control accuracy and
accelerate the response.
When the dead band is configured, the area in which neither heating nor cooling control outputs are turned on
is generated. In the dead band, the control accuracy and responsiveness is lowered; however, the energy loss
can be suppressed.
