  • Page 5: Important Usage Information

    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.

    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.

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.
