15) Use a switch, relay, or other device with contacts to turn OFF the power supply quickly. Gradually lowering the voltage of the power supply may result in incorrect outputs or memory errors. 16) Do not touch the electronic components with your hands or subject them to shock when removing the terminal block.
Page 11
If the measurement accuracy is low, check to see if input shift has been set correctly. ● Precautions for Operation It takes a certain amount of time for the outputs to turn ON from after the power supply is turned ON. Due consideration must be given to this time when designing control panels, etc.

The Temperature Controller Error output will turn ON when an bit be- tween bit 0 and bit 13 in the Device A Status is ON. It can be used to out- put EJ1 error status. Refer to Status Lists on page 255 for details on Device A Status.
MV % Example: When the control period is 10 s, the minimum output ON/OFF width is 10.0%, and the MV is less than 10.0%, the output will be 0%. When the MV is 90.0% or greater, the output will be 100%.
4-2-4 Output ON Scheduling Function The ON time for each output can be reduced to one half or one fourth of the control period to limit the number of outputs in the Unit that are ON simulta- neously.
Page 85
Section 4-2 Setting Output Specifications Even if the Output ON Scheduling Method is set, the outputs may be ON at the same time due to the delay in the output device's operation. In this case, you can prevent the outputs from being ON simultaneously by setting a delay with the Delay between Outputs parameter.
Control Output Assignment must be set to Control output (heating) or Control output (cooling). Note (1) These parameters can be set only when operation is stopped. (2) Use 40% AT when output scaling has been set. If 100% AT is used, hunt- ing will occur.

This parameter can be set only when operation is stopped. When this parameter has been changed, the new setting becomes effective the next time a software reset is performed for the Unit or the next time power is turned ON.
In ON/OFF control, the control output turns OFF when the currently controlled temperature reaches a preset set point. When the manipulated variable turns OFF, the temperature begins to fall and the control output is turned ON again. This operation is repeated at a certain level. The Hysteresis (Heating) param- eter determines how much the temperature must fall before the control output is turned ON again.
Page 91
Section 4-3 Setting Control Specifications ■ Three-position Control In heating/cooling control, a dead band area can be set where the MV is 0% for both heating and cooling. with a dead band, 3-position control can be achieved. Dead band Hysteresis (Heating)

The control method must be set to 2-PID control. Note When this parameter has been changed, the new setting becomes effective the next time a software reset is performed for the Unit or the next time power is turned ON.
Direct operation Reverse operation For example, when the process value (PV) is lower than the set point (SP) in a heating control system, the manipulated variable increases according to the difference between the PV and SP. Accordingly, this is “reverse operation” in a heating control system and “direct operation”...

Control to one of the outputs. For example, when you want to perform heating/cooling control with channel 1, assign channel 1 control output (cooling) to one of the outputs. • Refer to 4-2-1 Control Output Assignments for details on assigning the control output for cooling.
Page 95
The control method must be set to heating/cooling control. Note The decimal point position is determined by the sensor selection. In this case, however, the 0 (****) decimal point position setting will be treated as setting 1 (***.*). Refer to 4-7-1 Bank Function for details on banks.
The decimal point position is determined by the sensor selection. Refer to 4-7-1 Bank Function for details on banks. Set the set point so that it is within the input range as well as the set point lim- iter range.
4-3-5 Setting the SP Ramp The SP ramp function restricts the width of changes in the set point as a rate of change. When the SP ramp function is enabled and the change width exceeds the specified rate of change, this function can restrict the set point within an area, as shown in the following diagram.
Note (1) This parameter can be set only when operation is stopped. (2) The function is stopped if this parameter is set to 0. The unit is determined by the setting of the SP Ramp Time Unit parameter. The decimal point position is determined by the sensor selection.

105.0 to 105.0 (for heating/cooling control) % Conditions for use The control method must be set to 2-PID control. The order of priority is as follows: Manual MV > MV at Stop > MV at PV Error. ■ MV at PV Error This parameter sets the MV when an input error or remote SP input error occurs.

Alarm Delay Delays can be set for the alarm outputs. ON and OFF delays can be set for each alarm and also reflected in the com- munications status. The alarm's ON delay will also operate when the power is turned ON or a software reset is performed.
Section 4-4 Setting Alarm Specifications • The alarm will not turn ON if the time that the alarm is ON is equal to or less than the ON delay set time. Likewise, the alarm will not turn OFF if the time that the alarm is OFF is equal to or less than the OFF delay set time.
4-5-2 Heater Burnout Alarm (HB Alarm) A heater burnout is detected by measuring the heater current while the control output (heating) is ON. For details, refer to the following table. (Heater burnout detection cannot be used with the control output for cooling.)

1.0 A for heaters of less than 10.0 A, and at least 2.5 A for heaters of 10.0 A or more. If the heater current is too low, loop the load line several times through a CT, as shown in the diagram below.
4-6-1 Loop Burnout Alarm (LBA) With a loop burnout alarm, there is assumed to be an error in the control loop if the control deviation (SP-PV) is greater than the threshold set in the LBA Level parameter and if the control deviation is not reduced by at least the value set in the LBA Band parameter within the specified LBA Detection Time.

LBA level, preventing detection of the loop burnout. • If the set point is so high or low that it cannot be reached even with a sat- urated manipulated variable, a temperature deviation may remain even in a steady state and a loop burnout may be detected.
• Dead Band • Alarm Value 1 to 3 • Alarm Upper Limit Value 1 to 3 • Alarm Lower Limit Value 1 to 3 The currently selected bank's parameters can be read or written by reading or writing the “Present Bank” parameters.
This parameter can be set only when operation is stopped. When this parameter has been changed, the new setting becomes effective the next time a software reset is performed for the Unit or the next time power is turned ON.
Even if an HFU is used, Bus Input cannot be used for TC Units connected to the RS-485 communications lines using distributed positioning. (2) Set the bus settings correctly in each Unit so that there are no conflicts in operation within the EJ1 system.
