z How to Set Up Current Input

Remove the temperature controller cover and set JP8 to short. JP8 jumper locates near the sensor input area on PCB board.
Normal Iniput (Factory Setting) Current Input (4 ~ 20mA, 0 ~ 20mA)

  Display Unit Setting

Use following parameter to change the PV and SV display unit, select decimal point and switch between ℃/F.
¾ In Operation Mode : SP=1 displays decimal place (ex: 25.5 degree); SP=0 displays integral number (ex: 25 degree).
¾ In Initial Setting Mode : Select temperature display unit ℃/℉. (℉=℃* 9 / 5 + 32)

  Set Value and the Upper/Lower Limit of Input Value Setting

¾ Set the Upper Limit of Input Value: This parameter can be set in the Initial Setting Mode , the upper limit input value must
be set within the range shown in the chart “Temperature Sensor Type & Temperature Range”.
¾ Set the Lower Limit of Input Value: This parameter can be set in Initial Setting Mode , the lower limit input value must be
set within the range shown in the chart “Temperature Sensor Type & Temperature Range”.
¾ Set the SV: This parameter can be set in Operation Mode, SV value must be set within the range of upper/lower limit input value.
SV can not be set in In “Program Mode” or in “Remote Mode”.

  Digital Filter and Linear Compensation Setting

In “Regulation Mode”, and parameters can be used to ajust the filter status and to avoid interferences on input signal.
¾ : Filter Factors (setting range=0~50; factory setting=8). Digital Filter Calculation equation: PV=(Last displayed PV * n +
Measure Value)/ (n+1). When the parameter value is small, the PV display is close to the Measured Value. When the parameter
value is large, the PV response is slow.
¾ : Filter Range (setting range=0.10~10.00℃/℉). If factory setting = 1, it means the controller will begin Digital Filter
Calcaulation when the Measure Value lies within the range of “Last displayed PV + / - 1.00℃/℉”. Therefore, it is recommended to
set a larger value when noise interferences is serious.
When PV display value is different than user’s expectation, Linear Compensation function can be set by and
parameters in“Regulation Mode”.
¾ : Linear Compensation Value (setting range= -99.9 ~ +99.9). Linear Compensation Calculation equation: PV = Measure
Value + Compensation Value.

6
 For example: Measure Value=25.0; Compensation = 1.2. After applying to the Compensation equation PV=26.2.
¾ Linear Compensation Gain (setting range = 0~0.999). Linear Compensation Gain Calculation equation: PV = Measure
Value* (1 + Gain/1.000) + Compensation.
For example: Measure Value=25.0; Gain= 0.100. After applying to the Gain calculation equation PV= 25.0 * (1 + 0.100 / 1.000) =
27.5。
If temperature deviation is the same in every temperature, settting linear compensation value can solve deviation problem. If temperature
deviation varies upon different temperatures, calculate the linear deviation error and adjusts the temperature by setting Gain and
Compensation value.

  Applications of Analog Voltage & Current Input

The input range of analog voltage and current are used as the uppler/lower limit of the controller’s voltage and current setting. When
setting up the desire voltage or current, it must lies within the range of upper/lower limit. For example: If the range of analog input voltage
is 0~5V, the upper limit setting will be 5000 and lower limit setting will be 0. If the decimal setting is set to 3 decimal place, a input voltage
of 2.5V will displays as 2.500. The equation of Display Value = (Upper limit setting of controller– Lower limit setting of controller)*(Input
voltage- Analog lower limit)/(Analog upper limit– analog lower limit) + Lower limit setting of controller.

  Disable the Cold Junction Function

The cold conjunction function of a thermocouple is set to ENABLE, but in some cases, we can set it to DISABLE.
¾ In Initial Setting Mode, is used to set the first digit (Y) of Yxxx, (when Y=0, Enable; when Y=1, Disable).

 Analog Output Compensation

When the output mode is set to analog current output (4~20mA) or linear voltage output (0~10V), user’s desire output value can be
attained by using compensation function. For example, the analog output 1 can be adjusted in and parameters in
“Regulation Mode”. The output value can be positive or negative (+/-) and it can be changed by pressing the Up/Down key on the
temperature controller. The scale of each pressing is an increase or decrease of 1uA and 1mV.
For example: To change the current output range from 4~20mA to 3.9~20.5mA, set to 500 (20.5-20=0.5mA; 0.5mA/1uA= 500).
and set to -100 (3.9-4=-0.1mA; -0.1mA/1uA=-100).

¾ To control the output manually: Set parameter to in【Initial Setting Mode】.

¾ To set output to 0%: Set parameter to or to in【Operation Mode】.
¾ To adjust the lower limit of analog output: Input a desire value and check the meter to adjust the analog input value to desire value
(For example: 4~20 m A, adjusting analog value will be 20 m A). Set parameter (Output 1) or (Output 2) to your
desire value in 【Regulation Mode】.
¾ To set output to 100%: Set parameter (Output 1) = or (Output 2) = in 【Operation Mode】.
¾ To adjust the lower limit of analog output: Input a desire value and adjust the analog input value to your desire value (For example:
4~20 m A, adjusting analog value will be 20 m A). Set (Output 1) or (Output 2) to your desire value in
【Regulation Mode】.

  Retransmission and Compensation Adjusting

When the input value changes, the retransmission output will also be changed correspondingly. For example: If retransmission =
4~20mA ; uppler/lower limit = 100.0 ~ 0. Wen the controller reads 0, it outputs 4mA; when the controller reads 100, it outputs 20mA. The
value can also be a negative number to generate a negative slope. For negative slope, sets upper/lower limit = 0~100.0. In this case,
when the controller reads 0, it outputs 20mA; when the controller reads 100, it outputs 4mA. Refer to the slope diagram below.

Output = Output =
Negative Slope Positive Slope

(Figure 1: Propotional Output Diagram)

7
¾ To set Retransmission to positive/negative slopes (a Retransmission board must be installed first): In 【Initial Setting Mode】 set
the parameter, the last digit (Y) of xxxY indicates when Y=0 positive slope; when Y=1 negative slope.
¾ To adjust the lower limit of Retransmission:
a、 Make sure the slope of Retransmission is positive.
b、 Set lower limit value larger than the display value: In【Initial Setting Mode】set the value in larger than the display value
(PV).
c、 Input the analog value to meter, check the meter and adjust the analog input value: In 【Regulation Mode】, enter the new value
into . For example, if the range is 4~20mA, the new value will be 4mA.
¾ To adjust the upper limit Retransmission:
a、 Make sure the slope of Retransmission is positive.
b、 Set upper limit value smaller than the display value: In【Initial Setting Mode】set the value in smaller than the display
value (PV).
d、 Input the analog value to meter,check the meter and adjust the analog input value: In 【Regulation Mode】, enter the new value
into . For example, if the range is 4~20mA, the new value will be 4mA.

The Dead Band parameter is automatically enabled when the temperature controller is in dual output control. As shown
in the diagram follow. The purpose of Dead Band function is to reduce the energy wastage of frequent heating/cooling actions. For
example, if SV = 100 degree and = 2.0, there will be no output when the temperature is between 99~101°C..

When the controller is in PID control and dual loop output mode, sets the P value of the 2nd set of PID. The 1st set of PID
is generated when TUNE= AT, but user can also manually sets the PID value. The P value of th 2nd set of PID = the P value of 1st
set of PID x . The I and D value of the 2nd set of PID remains the same as the 1st set of PID.

  SV Control Mode Setting

There are 4 methods for setting SV of the temperature setting; they are Fixed, Slope, Program and Remote.
z Fixed SV Mode: controls the temperature to directly rise to a fixed setting value
¾ Set parameter to in 【Initial Setting Mode】
¾ Set the target temperature: set SV value by a parameter in 【Operation Mode】

z Slope SV Mode: Control temperature rises at a slope (unit: ℃/min.) to a fixed value, i.e., the temperature can be set to rise in a
set slope (unit: ℃/min.). E.G., Set a slope of 0.5 and set SV to 200.0℃; this means the temperature rises 0.5℃ every minute from
Room Temperature up to 200.0℃.
¾ Set parameter to in 【Initial Setting Mode】
¾ Set rising slope (unit: ℃/min. or ℃/s): set rising slope by parameter in 【Regulation Mode】
¾ Set target temperature: set SV value by a parameter in 【Operation Mode】
¾ Set unit for rising slope (unit: ℃/min. or ℃/s): for parameter in 【Initial Setting Mode】, set the corresponding Y
position value to xxYx (Y can be 0 or 1; Y= 0: ℃/min.; Y=1: ℃/s).

z Program SV mode: This means the temperature setting value is not a fixed value but a setting curve defined by the user
according to his-her requirements. By way of PID control, the temperature input rises along with the defined temperature curve. As
to how to input the temperature setting curve, the machine provides 16 patterns with 16 steps each, together with a linking
parameter, a loop parameter, and a number of executions. Each step has 2 parameters (temperature setting value and time). If the
initial step has a time parameter set to 0, temperature will rise from room temperature at the initial slope up to the target
temperature. After setting these parameters, each temperature controller will have its own set of initial pattern and initial step for
creating its own temperature setting curve. Some of the terms are explained as follows:
a、 Initial pattern: set the program to start running at a sequential number of patterns
b、 Initial Step: set the program to start running at a sequential number of steps
c、 Initial Slope: If the time setting of the initial step of the initial pattern is set to 0, an initial slope shall be set to allow the
temperature to rise from room temperature to the setting value.
d、 Step: includes 2 parameter settings: a setting point X and an executing time T, representing the setting value (SV) to rise
to X after time T. If the setting point X is identical to the previous setting, this process is called a Soak, otherwise a Ramp,
therefore this control procedure is also called a Ramp Soak control. The first running procedure is preset as a Soak
control, to set the temperature control to setting point X in advance and maintain the temperature at X, at a duration of T.
e、 Link Parameter: the number of the subsequent pattern to be linked after executing this pattern. If set to END, the program
mode will end but maintain the last setting value; if set to STOP, all the program controls will end with the output switched
off.
f、 Number of loops: Number of extra loops to be carried out for the pattern. If set to 1, the pattern will be carried out 2 times.
g、 Executing step: Number of steps executed for each pattern.
h、 Wait time, wait temperature: After reaching the program temperature value, a wait time and wait temperature can be set; if
the current temperature is not within the range of (temperature setting value ± wait temperature), the set wait time will start
to count down until the currently measured temperature reaches the range of (temperature setting value ± wait
temperature) of each step before proceeding to the subsequent step. An alarm will be issued if the range of (temperature
setting value ± wait temperature) is not reached when the count down reaches 0.
i、 Execution:

9
 If the setting control is in running mode, the program will start running from the initial pattern and initial step, and carry out
commands one by one.
When the setting control is in end mode, the program will stop running and give out an output disable.
When setting control is in stop control and temperature is controlled at the setting value before the stop, by re-selecting
the start status, the program will start running from the initial pattern and initial step.
When setting control is in pause control and temperature is controlled at the setting value before the stop, by re-selecting
the start status, the program will start running from the step where the program was paused and carry out the remaining
part.

z Remote Mode: Input of setting value can be dynamic, an analog value (voltage or current) can be converted into a dynamic input
value. Two methods can be used for the conversion: positive slope or negative slope, they are depicted as follows:
a、 Positive slope Remote setting: Display of Remote analog input is in positive proportion with setting input, e.g.: Remote input
type is selected as 1~5 V analog voltage, Remote higher limit of input is set as 5000, Remote lower limit of input is 1000,
decimal display is set as 0; when Remote input is 5V, the screen shows 5000; when Remote input is 2V, the screen show
2000; this is the dynamic setting of the screen display. (Dynamic setting value =(Remote higher limit of input – Remote lower
limit of input)*(Remote input value - lower limit of Remote input)/( higher limit of Remote input - lower limit of Remote input)+
Remote lower limit of input)
b、 Negative Slope Remote setting: Display of Remote analog input is in negative proportion with setting input, e.g.: Remote
input type is selected as 1~5 V analog voltage, Remote higher limit of input is set as 5000, Remote lower limit of input is 1000,
decimal display is set as 0; when Remote input is 5V, the screen shows 1000; when Remote input is 2V, the screen show
4000; this is the dynamic setting of the screen display. (Dynamic setting value =(Remote higher limit of input – Remote lower
limit of input)*(Remote input value - lower limit of Remote input)/( higher limit of Remote input - lower limit of Remote input) –
Remote lower limit of input)
¾ Set parameter to in 【Initial Setting Mode】
Note: This option is only available when a Remote board is inserted. If the Remote type is of analog current, the JP in the
Remote board must be shorted (using a short cap). If the Remote type is of analog voltage, ensure the JP is open.

  Control Mode Setting

There are 4 control modes; ON-OFF, PID, FUZZY and MANUAL.
z ON-OFF Mode: For heating output, the output is off when input is greater than the setting value; output is on when input is smaller
than (setting value – adjustment sensitivity setting value). For cooling output, the output is on when the input is greater than
(setting value + adjustment sensitivity setting value); output is off when input is smaller than the setting value. If one of 2 outputs is
set for heating and the other for cooling, a non-action zone can be set as follows.

Heating sensitivity Cooling sensitivity

adjustment adjustment
DeadBand

Heating Cooling

(Output ON-OFF control of both actions)

¾ Set parameter to in 【Initial Setting Mode】

¾ Set adjustment sensitivity: Set adjustment sensitivity by parameter【Regulation Mode】 to (Output 1),
(output 2)
¾ Setting of DeadBand of both outputs: Set DeadBand by parameter in 【Regulation Mode】

z PID Mode: When set for heating or cooling, the program performs PID operation via input temperature and setting temperature,
with the operation result output for the temperature control. A PID parameter and control period must be set for this function; these
parameters can also be generated automatically via auto-tuning (AT).
a、 A total of six sets of PID parameters are available, one of which can be selected for carrying out PID, and the program may
automatically select a set of PID that is most close to the input value. In order to achieve this, each set of PID parameters has
a reference input setting value which allows the user to set for manual setting or for auto-tuning (AT). E.G., for the six sets of
th
PID parameters as shown below, SV is reference input setting. Let us select the 4 set as the PID running parameter: i.e.,
P=40, I=220, D=55, IOF=30%. If we select AT to find the set closest to the setting value with a setting input of 230, the
program will automatically find the second set as the running parameter for PID operation.

0 1 2 3 4 5
SV 80 160 240 320 400 480
P 120 46 70 60 40 50
I 100 140 180 200 220 240
D 25 35 45 50 55 60
IOF 20 10 30 20 30 21

b、 Set PID parameters and the control period: in which PID parameters can be adjusted manually according to system
characteristics or created automatically by AT, the pre-set integral value is set as I parameter ≠0, allowing for promptly
achieving the setting value; unit is % output; proportional error compensation is: when I parameter is set to =0, for the
adjustment of reduced time to reach the temperature. The Control Period is the period of PID operation, if the control period is
10s, it means a PID operation is carried out every 10s. The result is then output to control the temperature. If the system
heats up quickly, the control period shall not be set too long. For relay output, the lifespan of the relay shall be considered; a
short period will shorten the lifespan of relay.

11
 c、 Coef and DeadBand are added in the PID parameter for double output (one for heating and one for cooling). Coef refers to
the ratio between the first and second portions of output (P parameter of second group =Coef*P, Coef= 0.01~99.99);
DeadBand is the overlapping temperature of the P output of the first group and the second group.
¾ Set parameter to in 【Initial Setting Mode】
¾ To set for heating or cooling control: Select desired output control by parameter in 【Initial Setting Mode】. If no
board is inserted in Output2, selection items are: H1, C1 (H for heating, C for cooling, 1 for output 1). If a board is inserted in
Output 2, selection items are: H1H2, C1H2… H1A2(H for heating, C for cooling, 1 for output 1, 2 for output 2, A for Alarm 3 )
¾ Select number of PID sets as running parameter and set PID parameter: Select 0~5, , by parameter in
【Regulation Mode】, then press key to set the selected PID parameter including “SV‘x’”, ”P‘x’”, ”I‘x’”, ”d‘x’”, and ”ioF‘x’”,
where ‘x’ is the pre-selected set as the PID running parameter, which can be 0~5. “SV‘x’” is the reference temperature
setting value; “P‘x’”, ”I‘x’”, ”d‘x’”, ”ioF‘x’” correspond to P, I, D, and IOF.
¾ Set the control period: in parameter【Regulation Mode】, PV displays “o‘x’-‘y’”, ‘x’ is 1(output 1) or 2 (output 2), ‘y’ is H(Heating)
or C (Cooling)
¾ Set double output Coef: Set Coef value by parameter in 【Regulation Mode】
¾ Set DeadBand of double output: Set DeadBand zone by parameter in 【Regulation Mode】
¾ Set control to running mode: Set parameter in 【Operation Mode】 to .
¾ Set AT: Set parameter to in 【Regulation Mode】. The selected number of PID will be adjusted
automatically. After that, a pre-set parameter of integrated PID value will be created automatically and the display will
automatically alter into .
Note: When performing AT, the entire system must complete setting; i.e. the input Sensor must be wired and correctly set, and the
output must be connected to a heater or cooler pipe.

z MANUAL Mode: Manual control function, may force output of a fixed value; normally operated by combining switchover of PID
control.
a、 Switch from PID control to manual control: Control output will maintain the original control output before switching over to
manual control. E.g., if the control output before the PID calculation is 20%, then the control output after switching to manual
control is 20%. You may force a fixed output value after a switchover, for example: controlling the output to be 40%.
b、 Switch from manual control to PID control: if manual control before switching-over to PID control is 40%, the program will
take 40% as the initial value for calculating the PID value and output the new control.
Note: If power of machine is switched off in manual control mood, the output % will be maintained when the power is switched on
again.
¾ Set parameter to in 【Initial Setting Mode】
¾ Set control period: in parameter 【Regulation Mode】, PV displays “o‘x’-‘y’”, ‘x’ is 1 (output 1) or 2 (output 2), ‘y’ is H (Heating)
or C (Cooling)
¾ Set output %: in parameter 【Operation Mode】, PV screen displays “oUt‘x’”, ‘x’ is 1 (output 1) or 2 (output 2)

z FUZZY Mode: This comprises 2 parts: PID parameters and Fuzzy exclusive parameters. Since Fuzzy control is calculated based
on P.I.D values of PID control, the user must first set P.I.D parameters or perform auto tuning (AT) to produce these parameters. In
addition, Fuzzy control includes the following 2 exclusive parameters.
a、 Fuzzy Gain Setting: altering this value will directly affect the calculation of Fuzzy gain. Increasing this value will directly
enhance the Fuzzy control; decreasing this value will weaken the Fuzzy control. It is recommended that this value shall be
decreased for systems with slow reaction to heating/cooling. This value may be increased for systems with quick reaction to
heating/ cooling.
b、 Set Fuzzy DeadBand: The effective bandwidth of Fuzzy control, when PV value enters into the range of SV-FZDB
<PV<SV+FZDB, Fuzzy control will stop calculation. I.e., when the PV is within this temperature range, its Fuzzy control is
fixed.
¾ Set parameter to in 【Initial Setting Mode】
¾ Set Fuzzy Gain: Set value of Fuzzy Gain by parameter in 【Regulation Mode】.
¾ Set Fuzzy DeadBand: Set value of Fuzzy DeadBand by parameter in 【Regulation Mode】.

  Setting of multiple PID sets

When PID control is selected, the system provides 6 sets (PID 0~5) PID parameter sets (P, I, D and IOF parameter) to be selected by the
user. In general conditions, one set of PID (P0) is adequate. For different setting values (SV), when the same PID value is not adequate
to control the precision, the user may set up multiple sets of PID parameters for the system to automatically switch-over to an applicable
PID set.
¾ Set only one PID set:
Set parameter to 0 (PID 0, the first set) in【Regulation Mode】, set parameter to ON; at this time, the System starts to

12
Auto Fine-tune the PID value. During the calculation, AT LED lights up in the display panel. When the PV value generates 2 curves of
temperature oscillation based on the SV value, the AT process is completed and the AT LED in the panel goes out. The calculated PID
parameters are displayed in , , , and , of which their content can be revised by the user.
¾ Automatic switching-over Multiple PID sets:
Set parameter to 0 (PID 0, the first set) in【Regulation Mode】, set the required SV value (e.g. 100 degree), set parameter
as ON; on completion of auto fine-tuning, the system fills in parameters =100, , , and
automatically, their content can be revised by the user.
Set parameter to 1 (PID 1, the second set), set the required SV value (e.g. 150 degree), set parameter as ON; on
completion of auto fine-tuning, the system fills in parameters =150, , , and automatically.
Set parameter to AUTO, System will verify on its own whether the current SV value is closer to parameter or ,
and load the corresponding PID set automatically. E.g., if SV=110, system will load parameters. If SV=140, system will load
parameters.
If more SV groups are required, PID2~PID5 can be set up with the same sequence as described above.

  Tune Function
This machine provides 2 tuning methods (Auto_Tuning and Self_Tuning) for automatic generation of PID parameters (only applicable
when control mode is set to PID control).
z Auto_Tuning: by full output of heating or cooling, temperature is allowed to oscillate up and down. Attain parameters of the
magnitude and period, calculate P, I, D, IOF parameters; in addition, save the temperature setting value for performing AT, for the
use of PID control. After Auto_Tuning, PID control will be carried out automatically.
¾ Set parameter to in 【Initial Setting Mode】
¾ AT setting: Set parameter to in 【Regulation Mode】

z Self_Tuning: By full output of heating or cooling, max. slope of temperature alteration and system delay can be attained from the
Temperature-Time Curve, and P, I, D, IOF parameters can be calculated. Self tuning can be carried out in RUN mode and in STOP
mode. In the RUN mode, PID parameters are allowed to be updated when the machine is running; in the STOP mode, PID
parameters for the SV value can be attained.

CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) is obtained by the following steps.
1. Load in a 16-bit register FFFFH as the CRC register.
2. Do an exclusive OR operation of the first byte of the data and low byte of CRC register, and place the operation result back to
the CRC register.
3. Right shift the bits in the CRC register and fill the high bits with “0”. Check the removed lowest bit.
4. If the removed lowest bit is “0”, repeat step 3. Otherwise, do an exclusive OR operation of the CRC register and the value
A001H and place the operation result back to the CRC register.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 until the 8 bits (1 byte) are all right shifted.
6. Repeat step 2 and 5 and calcualte all the bits to obtain CRC check.
Please be aware of the high/low byte transmission order in the CRC register.
