4.1 Selecting the Control Method
When selecting the control method, set the parameters according to the
following table. (Parameters are factory-set to heating control.)

When heating and cooling control is selected, the “deadband” and “cool-
ing coefficient” parameters can be used.
The dead band is set with the set point as its center. The dead band width
is the set value of the “dead band” parameter (level 1 mode). Setting a posi-
tive value produces a dead band, while setting a negative value produces
an overlap band.

If the heating and cooling characteristics of the control target greatly dif-
fer, preventing satisfactory control characteristics from being obtained by
the same PID parameters, adjust the proportional band (P at cooling side)
using the cooling coefficient to balance control between the heating and
cooling sides. In heating and cooling control, P at the heating or cooling
side is calculated by the following formula:
Heating side P = P; Cooling side P = cooling coefficient

•
In heating and cooling control, the manipulated variable output that is
output when controller operation is stopped is dependent on the set
value of the
“
MV at stop” parameter (level 2 mode) in the same way as
for standard control.
•
However, note that in heating and cooling control, the manipulated vari-
able at the cooling side is treated as a negative value for the sake of conve-
nience. When the manipulated variable at STOP is a negative value, the
manipulated variable is output to only the cooling side, and when a posi-
tive value, the manipulated variable is output to only the heating side.
The factory setting is “0”. If the controller is operated using the factory
setting, the manipulated variable is not output to both the heating and
cooling sides.
When the overlap band is set, the bumpless function that operates when switching
between manual and automatic operation may not work.
