Table 01 - Input Types 

OUTPUTS 
The N1020 offers two output channels, user configurable as Control 

outputAlarm 1 output or Alarm 2 output.  
OUT1 -  Logical pulse, 5 Vdc / 25 mA, available at terminals 4 and 5. 
OUT2 -  Relay SPST-NA, 1.5 A / 240 Vac, available at terminals 6 

and 7. 

Note: The outputs can be configured independently from each other, 

for example, both can be control outputs at the same time. 

CONTROL OUTPUT 
The control strategy can be configured as ON / OFF or PID

ALARM OUTPUT 
There two alarms available in the N1020. The alarms can be 

assigned to either output, logical or relay. The alarm functions are 

described below. 

ALARM FUNCTIONS 
The alarms can be configured to operate with nine different functions, 

as shown in Table 02

off

 

Alarms turned 

Off

lo

 

Alarm of Absolute Minimum Value. Triggers when the value of 

measured PV is below the value defined for alarm Setpoint 

(SPA1 or SPA2)

 

SPA1 

PV 

  

ki

 

Alarm of Valor Absolute Maximum Value. Triggers when the 

value of measured PV is above the value defined for alarm 

Setpoint

 

SPA1 

PV 

 

dif

 

Alarm of Differential  Value. In this function the  parameters 

SPA1

 and 

SPA2

 represent the deviation of PV in relation to 

the SP of CONTROL.

Alarm of Minimum Differential Value. It triggers when the value 

of PV is  below  the defined point by  (using the Alarm 1 as 

example):

example):

t.0n

 

Timer ON alarm. Sets alarm output ON when timer is runing.  

t.end

 

Timer end. Configures the alarm to actuate when the timer 

expires. 

ierr

 

Sensor Break Alarm. Activated when the input signal of PV is 

interrupted, out of the range or when Pt100 in short-circuit. 

Table 02 – Alarm functions 

Alarms Timer Modes (Temporization) 
The controller alarms can be configured to perform 4 timer modes:

Table 03 - Temporization Functions for the Alarms 

The signs associated to the alarms will light when the alarm condition 

is recognized, not following the actual state of the output, which may 

be temporarily OFF because of the temporization. 
Initial Blocking of Alarm 
The initial blocking option inhibits the alarm from being recognized if 

an alarm condition is present when the controller is first energized (or 

after a transition from run YES 

NO). The alarm will be enabled 

only after the occurrence of a non alarm condition followed by a new 

occurrence for the alarm.
