Introduction Thanks for choosing a Pixsys device. The plug-in controller ATR902 is specially dedicated to applications in the glass, metal and pottery industry. This controller provides high accuracy of the programmed ring cycle and reliable monitoring of the temperature. It can store up to 15 completely con gurable programs, each consisting of max.
Electrical wirings This device has been designed and manufactured in conformity to Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC , 2014/35/EU (LVD) and EMC Directive 2004/108/EC, 2014/30/ EU (EMC). For installation in industrial environments please observe following safety guidelines: • Separate control line from power wires. •...
6.1 Numeric indicators (Display) Usually visualizes mesured temperature, it may visualize also (programmed temperature) setpoint value, time elapsed from cycle start, number of 123. 4 operating step or the percentage value of the command output. During con guration it visualizes the value of entering parameter.
6.3 Keys • In con guration allows to scroll and modify parameters • Scroll cycles to be started or modi ed. • In cycle programming allows to modify time and setpoint values. • Modi es the setpoint during function ( tHEr ). “simple controller”...
Programming and con guration There are two programming levels: 1. Cycles programming (for operator/user), to enter time/setpoint values for each step of cycle. 2. Con guration (for manufacturer/installer of plant), to enter main parameters (sensor type, output type, intervention type alarm/auxiliary ext.). 7.1 Programming (or modifying) cycle data •...

7.1.2 Programming of the step (segment) Press Display Red display visualizes 01-t . STEP Green display shows step time. Increases, decreases value on Enter the step duration in green display. hours:minutes. N.B.:Each cycle is composed of N.B.: Set --.-- for endless time or max.
Cycle start 8.1 Start of a cycle and setting of delayed start Red display visualizes stop . Press Display Press CYCLE to scroll the cycles Red display visualizes the cycle ( cy.02 for cycle no. 2 - cy. 1 5 for CYCLE selection.
8.3 Simple controller function When this function is active, the controller cannot manage a step cycle but it regulates according to a single setpoint (programmed temperature) which is selectable by the user. Press stop and follow the points below: Press Display Red display visualizes the selected Increase until visualize tHer .
9.3 Manual Tuning This procedure allows user a greater exibility on deciding when to update PID parameters. To enable this function, select man. on parameter 06 tune . To start manual tuning procedure follow the points below (when cycle is running): Press Display Press until red display visualizes tune .

Step 3 Step 2 PROCESS Black-out SETPOINT NB: After a power-o the chronometer will restart from 00:00. Step 2 Step 1 Time 9.4.2 Recovery with programmable recovery gradient To enable cycle recovery with a recovery gradient, enter on parameter 22 r.i.cy. a value (degrees/hour if temperature) greater than 1.
9.5 Waiting step end This function has been conceived to control kilns working cycles, whenever the kiln cannot follow gradients programmed by the user. If at step end the di erence between process and setpoint values is greater than the value on parameter 21 m.G.s.e.
