1CM
=PID
1PB
0...19.9°
Proportional bandwidth.
Temperature control takes place by changing the
ON time of the output: the closer the temperature
to the setpoint, the less time of activation. A small
proportional band increases the promptness of
response of the system to temperature variations,
but tends to make it less stable. A purely
proportional control stabilises the temperature
within the proportional band but does not cancel
the deviation from setpoint.
With
1PB
=0 the output is always off.
1IT
0...999s
Integral action time.
The steady-state error is cancelled by inserting an
integral action. The integral action time, determines
the speed with which the steady-state temperature
is achieved, but a high speed (
1IT
low) may be the
cause of overshoot and instability in the response.
With
1IT
=0 the integral control is disabled.
1DT
0...999s
Derivative action time.
Response overshoot may be reduced by inserting
a derivative Action. A high derivative action (
1DT
high) makes the system very sensitive to small
temperature variations and causes instability. With
1DT
=0 the derivative control is disabled.
1AR
0...100%
Reset of integral action time referred to
1PB
Decreasing the parameter
1AR
reduces the integral control action zone, and consequently the
overshoot (see figure on paragraph
1IT
).
1CT
1...255s
Cycle time.
It’s the period in which the output ON time changes. The quicker the system to be controlled
reacts to temperature variations, the smaller the cycle time must be, in order to obtain higher
temperature stability and less sensitivity to load variations.

STAND-BY
Button , when pressed for 3 seconds, allows the controller to be put on a standby or output control to be resumed (with
SB
=YES only).
KEYPAD LOCK
The keypad lock avoids undesired, potentially dangerous operations, which might be attempted when the controllers is operating
in a public place. In the INFO menu, set parameter
LOC
=YES to inhibit all functions of the buttons. To resume normal operation
of keypad, adjust setting so that
LOC
=NO.
CONTROLLER AUTOTUNING IN PID MODE
Before starting
In the setup mode (see configuration parameters): set
1CM
=PID; make sure that
1CH
matches the desired operation mode
(
1CH
=REF for refrigerating control,
1CH
=HEA for heating control); then adjust setpoint
1SP
at the desired value.
Start autotuning
During normal operation, keep buttons
+
pressed for 3 seconds. 1CT blinks on the display. With
+ or
set the cycle
time in order to define the dynamic of the process to be controlled. To abort the autotuning function, press ; to start autotuning
press +
or wait for 30 seconds.
During autotuning
During the entire autotuning phase, the display alternates TUN with the actual temperature measured. In case of power failure,
when power is resumed, after the initial autotest phase, the controller resumes the autotuning function. To abort the autotuning,
without modifying the previous control parameters, keep button pressed for 3 seconds. After the autotuning has taken place
successfully, the controller updates the control parameters and start to control.
Errors
If the autotuning function failed, the display shows an error code:
E1 timeout1 error: the controller could not bring the temperature within the proportional band. Increase
■
1SP
in case of heating
control, vice versa, decrease
1SP
in case of refrigerating control and re-start the process.
E2 timeout2 error: the autotuning has not ended within the maximum time allowed (1000 cycle times). Re-start the autotuning
■
process and set a longer cycle time
1CT
.
E3 temperature overrange: check that the error was not caused by a probe malfunction, then decrease
■
1SP
in case of heating
control, vice versa increase
1SP
in case of refrigerating control and then re-start the process.
To eliminate the error indication and return to the normal mode, press button
■
.
Control improvement
To reduce overshoot, reduce the integral action reset
■
1AR
To increase the response speed of the system, reduce the proportional band
■
1PB
. Caution: doing this makes the system less stable.
To reduce swings in steady-state temperature, increase the integral action time
■
1IT
; system stability is thus increased, although
its response speed is decreased.
To increase the speed of response to the variations in temperature, increase the derivative action time
■
1DT
. Caution: a high
value makes the system sensitive to small variations and it may be a source of instability.
RECALIBRATION
Have a precision reference thermometer or a calibrator to hand. Ensure that
■
OS1
=0 and
SIM
=0.
Switch the controller off then on again.
■
During the auto-test phase, press buttons
■
+
and keep them pressed till the controller shows
0AD
.
With buttons
■
and select
0AD
or
SAD
:
0AD
allows a calibration of 0, inserting a constant correction over the whole scale
of measurement.
SAD
allows a calibration of the top part of the measurement scale with a proportional correction between the
calibration point and 0.
Press
■
to display the value and then use
+ or
to make the read value coincide with the value measured by the
reference instrument.
Exit from calibration by pressing button
■
.
OPERATION
The AC1-27 controller, size 72x94x47 mm (WxHxD), is to be secured to a DIN rail in such a position as to ensure that no liquid
■
infiltrates causing serious damage and compromising safety
;
Make sure that electrical connections comply with the paragraph “wiring diagrams”. To reduce the effects of electromagnetic
■
disturbance, keep the sensor and signal cables well separate from the power wires.
Place the probe T1 inside the room in a point that truly represents the temperature of the stored product.
