5. IMPORTANT USAGE INFORMATION – suppression systems use If inductive load is connected to relay contacts (i.e. contactor coil or transformer) then during its contacts disconnection surges and electric arc often occurs. They are caused by discharge of energy stored in the inductor. The most negative effects of these surges are: reducing the life of the contactors and relays, destruction of semiconductors (diodes, thyristors, triacs), measurement and control systems damage or distortion, emission of electromagnetic field that interferes local devices.

12. ON-OFF CHARACTERISTIC TYPES CAUTIONS: Parameter name Parameter number (p. 10, table 1) 13. PID REGULATION Controller works in PID mode when proportionality range (parameter 12: ) is different than zero. Proportionality range position relative to set value is shown on illustrations a) and b). Influence of integral and derivative part of PID regulation is set by parameter 13: and 14:...
14. PID AUTOTUNING Autotuning automatically selects PID parameters and consists of following stages: Tuning start delay (about 1 minute, time for actuator power on, i.e. heating power, cooling power, fan,...), determining object characteristic, calculating and saving in non-volatile controller memory parameters , start of regulation with new PID parameters.
15. MANUAL PID PARAMETERS CONFIGURATION Following algorithm allows PID action parameters choice – proportionality range (parameter 12), integration time , (13), differentiation time (14) and pulsation period (15). 1. Set regulator to ON-OFF mode (parameter = 0), threshold required value and =0.
