Page 7 Failure to follow safe installation guidelines could result in death or serious injuries. ● Make sure the Kontrolog is installed by qualiﬁed personnel and in accordance with the applicable practice code. ● Use the device only as speciﬁed in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by it.
Page 8: Section 1: Introduction
Recycling of device components and packaging should be taken into consideration and disposed of in accordance with local and national legislation/regulations. 1.2 Storage and transport The Kontrolog is protected by a special packaging during transport and is guaranteed to handle normal loads during transport. omicroniot.com...
Page 9: Section 2: Overview
There are two models of the Kontrolog device, designated by the names Kontrolog 9.3 and Kontrolog 9.2. The main difference between them is that the Kontrolog 9.3 has one output (No. 5) which is analog (4-20mA), while for the Kontrolog 9.2, all of the outputs are relay type.
Page 10: Device Configuration
The Kontrolog is powered by a two-wire power cable, connecting its AC1 and AC2 inputs to the 110 - 220 VAC, 50/60 Hz lines. It can also be powered by a 6 or 12V battery. The system is delivered with the wireless communication modules ordered.
Page 11: Section 3: Description Of Sensors And Outputs
Outputs 3.1 Description of Input Sensors A sensor connected to the Kontrolog measures a type of physical variable, analog or digital, that can be conﬁgured to read: temperature, humidity, voltage, current, etc. Each sensor has a description of registers given in Table 3-1.
Page 12: Description Of The Control Outputs
Frequency Input (Input No. 5 only) 3.2 Description of the Control Outputs The Kontrolog 9.2 programmable controller has ﬁve (5) relay outputs and the Kontrolog 9.3 programmable controller has four (4) relay outputs and one (1) 4 - 20 mA analog output.

In case the input is not associated as digital sensor, the output remains off; 2. or the 4-20 mA analog output (only for Kontrolog 9.3) follows the state of the associated analog input sensor, for which it will take as the lower limit of the input the value that the user conﬁgures in Parameter 6 of Table 3-1, and as the upper limit...
Page 16: On/Off Control Output Function
3.2.3 On/Off Control Output Function This type of function allows an On/Off control with hysteresis for heating or cooling, the following parameters must be programmed in the output (Table 3-5) to correctly conﬁgure this control function. Table 3-5 Parameters to be conﬁgured for the On/Off Controlled Output Parameter Parameter Parameter Description...
Page 17: Timed Output Function
1. Control Type = 1 → Heating 2. Hysteresis = 1.0 °C 3. Set-Point = 31.0 °C 4. When the temperature is greater than or equal to 31.0 + 1.0 = 32.0°C, output (OFF). 5. When the temperature is less than or equal to 31.0 - 1.0 = 30°C, output (ON). 3.2.4 Timed Output Function This type of function allows to activate the output according to a timer, which can operate in three ways:...
Page 18: Pulse Counter
2. Control Type = 1 → The timer is triggered when the Control Signal is greater than 37.0°C. 3. Cycle Time ON = 3600 → The output is turned (ON) for 3600 Seconds. 4. Cycle time OFF = 900 → The output is turned (OFF) for 900 seconds. As long as the temperature is below 37.0°C, the output will remain OFF.

Page 20: Calculation Performed By The Pid Control Algorithm
3.2.6.2 Calculation performed by the PID control algorithm The Kontrolog performs a PID control algorithm to bring the process variable (Pv) to the desired value (Sp), expressed in the following formula for calculating the power to be supplied to the actuating elements: Pot = [100%(Error - Der/10*VEL + Int/1000 * ΣError)/Bp]...
Page 21: Practical Considerations
● Overdamped system: It has a slow response speed and after a disturbance occurs the system may take time to return to the Sp. The advantage is that it is very stable and does not acquire undesirable oscillatory behaviors. This condition occurs when the proportional band Bp is larger than necessary and when the derivative constant dEr is very large, since the derivative action tends to anticipate the response.
Page 22: Section 4: Graphical User Interface Hmi Screen Guide
Section 4: Graphical User Interface HMI Screen Guide The HMI (Human Machine Interface) screen for device conﬁguration was designed to make it easier for the users to compose commands, according to the hierarchical coding supported by the devices. It provides a great advantage in terms of ease of device conﬁguration by technical personnel, because it simpliﬁes complex control algorithms and does not require the use of any speciﬁc programming language.

Page 43: Section 7: Centriomega® Remote Control And Monitoring Platform
Section 7: Centriomega® Remote Control and Monitoring Platform The Kontrolog works in conjunction with the Remote Monitoring WEB platform. Users can access the Remote Monitoring Platform via WEB, to perform, among other things: ● Remote monitoring and visualization of historical data records, in graphs and data tables, for up to 2 years.
Page 44: Reviewing Historical Data
The platform uses some basic elements to organize the information it manages and facilitate interaction with users. These are: Dashboards, Devices, and Events. An introduction to the use of each of them will be offered in this guide. 7.2 Reviewing Historical Data Dashboards are interfaces where relevant data is presented to the users.
