Temperature controller CTI-40 Series Target sampling error range: for example, when SV= 200℃, the error range value is set to ±5, then the actual measured temperature (PV) is between 195—205℃. In this way, the output can be called steady-state output, and it can be used as the initial value of the manual output value.
Temperature controller CTI-40 Series Chapter 6 Temperature Control Operations 6.1 Control Modes [Auto] This type of control is a “closed loop” system and requires a thermocouple feedback signal. The controller uses a PID algorithm to determine the required output power to hold the actual temperature value equal to the set value.
