PM LEGACY™ PID Default Configuration Input Output Process Function Function Value Controller Analog Input 1 Heat Input Sensor Heat (PV) Output 1 Thermocouple Type J Function Loop 1 A Conceptual View of the PM The flexibility of the PM’s software and hardware allows a large range of configurations. Ac- quiring a better understanding of the controller’s overall functionality and capabilities while at the same time planning out how the controller can be used will deliver maximum effectiveness in your application.
Keep in mind that a function is a user-programmed internal process that does not execute any action outside of the controller. To have any effect outside of the controller, an output must be configured to respond to a function. Outputs Outputs can perform various functions or actions in response to information provided by a function such as, removal of the control voltage to a contactor;...

Chapter 7: Profiling Page Navigating the Profiling Page Note: Some of these menus and parameters may not appear, depending on the controller's op- tions. See model number information in the Appendix for more information. If there is only one instance of a menu, no submenus will appear. Profile Setup First, consider some foundational profile setup features that once configured, will apply to all configured profiles.
Page 93
Once these global profile features are configured, the next step will require navigation to the Profiling Page. Here, each desired ramp and soak profile will be configured. To navigate to the Profile Page from the front panel, follow the steps below: 1.

After switching the model number to a PM Express this document will no longer apply to the control. Click on the link that follows to acquire the latest version of the PM PID Ex- press User's Guide. http://www.watlow.com/en/Resources-And-Support/Technical-Library/ User-Manuals Once there, simply enter express in the "Keyword" field to find the appropriate document.
Programming the Home Page Watlow’s patented user-defined menu system improves operational efficiency. The user-de- fined Home Page provides you with a shortcut to monitor or change the parameter values that you use most often.
A new feature in PM 3 L E G ACY ™ P ID products will allow set point changes while the control is autotuning, this includes while running a profile or ramping. When the autotune is initially started it will use the current set point and will disregard all set point changes until the tuning process is complete.
Autotuning with TRU-TUNE+ ® The TRU-TUNE+ adaptive algorithm will optimize the controller's PID values to improve con- trol of dynamic processes. TRU-TUNE+ monitors the Process Value and adjusts the control parameters automatically to keep your process at set point during set point and load changes. When the controller is in the adaptive control mode, it determines the appropriate output signal and, over time, adjusts control parameters to optimize responsiveness and stability.
When autotuning is complete, the PID parameters should provide good control. As long as the loop is in the adaptive control mode, TRU-TUNE+ continuously tunes to provide the best pos- sible PID control for the process. ç WARNING! During autotuning, the controller sets the output to 100 percent and attempts to drive the Process Value toward the set point.

Calibration of Analog Inputs: To calibrate an analog input, you will need to provide a source of two electrical signals or resistance values near the extremes of the range that the application is likely to utilize.

Calculated Electrical Input Slope = (Precision High – Precision Low) / (Electrical Measured High - Electrical Measured Low) Calculated Slope value ___________ 12.
Scale High and Scale Low When an analog input is selected as process voltage or process current input, you must choose the value of voltage or current to be the low and high ends. For example, when using a 4 to 20 mA input, the scale low value would be 4.00 mA and the scale high value would be 20.00 mA.
Outputs Duplex Certain systems require that a single process output, control both heating and cooling out- puts. An P M3 LE GAC Y ™ PI D controller with a process output can function as two sepa- rate outputs. With a 4 to 20mA output the heating output will operate from 12 to 20mA (0 to +100 percent) and the cooling output will operate from 12 to 4mA (0 to -100 percent).
Cool Output Curve A nonlinear output curve may improve performance when the response of the output device is nonlinear. If a cool output uses one of the nonlinear curves a PID calculation yields a lower actual output level than a linear output would provide.

for each group of cycles. When used in conjunction with a zero cross (burst fire) device, such as a solid-state power controller, switching is done only at the zero cross of the ac line, which helps reduce electrical noise (RFI). Variable time base should be used with solid-state power controllers, such as a solid-state relay (SSR) or silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power control- ler.
Timer Function 1. When Timer Enable is set to yes and the timer is started (you define which key ti. E n combination this is), the controller will switch from Set Point to Closed Loop Timer C. s p1 . If the timer is interrupted, the timer is terminated and the time remaining is Set Point Ct.

Alarms Alarms are activated when the output level, process value or temperature leaves a defined range. A user can configure how and when an alarm is triggered, what action it takes and whether it turns off automatically when the alarm condition is over. Configure alarm outputs in the Setup Page before setting alarm set points.
See the Keys and Displays chapter and the Home Page chapter for more details. An alarm that is not latched (self-clearing) will deactivate automatically when the alarm condition has passed. Turn latching on or off with Latching (Setup Page, Alarm Menu). a.
Using Lockout Method 1 (Read and Set Lock) All Pages have security levels assigned where two of those cannot be changed (Home and Setup). Defaults (factory settings) for each are shown below: - Home Page = 1 - Operations Page = 2 (changeable to 1, 2 or 3) - Setup Page = 4 - Profiling Page = 3 (changeable to 1, 2 or 3) - Factory Page = 5*...
Page 133
With the above settings, the Home Page and the Profiling Page can be accessed, and all writ- able parameters can be written to. Due to the Read lock setting of 2, all pages with security levels greater than 2 will be locked out (inaccessible). Another example of Method 1 lockout usage could be that an operator wants read access to all pages while allowing read/write access to the Home Page and the Lockout Menu only.
Using Lockout Method 2 (Password Enable) It is sometimes desirable to apply a higher level of security to the control where a password would be required to access the control. If Password Enabled in the Factory Page pas. E under the Menu is set to on, an overriding Password Security will be in effect.
word prompt will be displayed. Proceed to either step 7a or 8a. Pushing the Up pass or Down arrow keys enter either the User or Administrator Password. Once en- tered, press and hold the Infinity key for two seconds to return to the Home Page. b.
PM3 LEGAC Y ™ P I D Configurator Software To enable a user to configure the PM control using a personal computer (PC), Watlow has pro- vided free software for your use. If you have not yet obtained a copy of this software insert the CD (Controller Support Tools) into your CD drive and install the software.
Page 137
Note: When establishing communications from PC to the P M3 L E GA C Y ™ P I D control an in- terface converter will be required. The Standard Bus network uses EIA-485 as the interface. Most PCs today would require a USB to EIA-485 converter. However, some PCs may still be equipped with EIA-232 ports, therefore an EIA-232 to EIA-485 converter would be re- quired.

Any PM 3 LEGAC Y ™ PI D device on the network will appear in this window and would be available for the purpose of configuration or monitoring; simply click on the control of choice. After doing so, the screen below will appear. In the screen shot below notice that the device part number is clearly displayed at the top of the page (yellow highlight added for emphasis).
