1. APPLICATION The RE71 controller is destined for the temperature control in plastics, food, dehydration industries and everywhere when the temperature sta- bilizing is necessary. Main features of the RE71 controller: direct co-operation with resistance thermometers (RTD) or thermo- couple (TC) sensors, two-stage control acc.
3. BASIC REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONAL SAFETY In the safety service scope, the controller meets to requirements of the EN 61010-1 standard. Observations Concerning the Operational Safety: · All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as maintenance, must be carried out by qualified, skilled personnel, and national regulations for the prevention of accidents must be observed.

Fig. 1. Controller fixing The panel cut-out should have 45 x 45 mm dimensions. +0,6 +0,6 The controller must be introduced from the panel front with disconnec- ted supply voltage. Before the insertion into the panel, one must check the correct placement of the seal. After the insertion into the hole, fix the controller by means of screw clamps.
4.2. Electrical Connections Make electrical connections to terminal strip and next, insert strips into the controller sockets. The controller has two separable terminal strips. One strip enables the connection of the supply and outputs by a wire of 2.5 mm cross- section, the second strip enables input signal connections by a wire of 1.5 mm...

5. STARTING TO WORK After switching the supply on, the controller carries out the display test, re71 displays the , inscription, the program version and next, displays the measured value. A character message informing about abnormalities may appear on the display (table 4).
6.1. Programming Controller Parameters The pressure and holding down the button during ca 2 seconds causes the entry in the programming matrix. The programming matrix can be protected by an access code. In case when giving a wrong value of the code, it is only possible to see settings through – without possibility of changes.
6.3. Setting Change The change of parameter setting begins after pressing the but- ton during the display of the parameter name. The setting choice is carried out through buttons, and accepted by the button. The change cancellation follows after the simultaneous pressure of buttons or automatically after 30 sec since the last push pressure.

7.2. PID Control When we want to obtain a higher accuracy of temperature control, one must use the PID algorithm. The applied innovative SMART PID algorithm is characterized by an increased accuracy for the expanded range of control object classes. The fine tuning of the controller to the object consists on the settlement of the proportional element, integration element, differentiation element and output pulsing period.

The autotuning process will be broken without PID settings calculations, if a controller supply decay occurs or the button is pressed. In such a case, the control with current PID settings will begin. If the autotuning experiment does not end with success, then an error code will be displayed acc.
7.2.2. Proceeding Way in Case of an Unsatisfactory PID Control It is recommended to choose PID parameters, changing the value in a twice higher or twice less. During the change, one must respect follo- wing principles. a) Slow response of the jump: –...

Kind of alarms The set point value for absolute alarms is the value defined by the aLsp parameter, and for relative alarms, it is the deviation from the set point value - aLdu parameter.
9.2. Manual Control The manual control gives the possibility to identify, test the object, or control it after a sensor damage. The entry to the manual control mode follows after holding the button down during the control signal display. The manual control is signalled by the pulsation of the diode with .
