4–7 Output Power Limits
In certain systems the heater (or cooler) is over-
designed such that the process is too heavily heated
or cooled. To avoid an excessive overshoot and/or
undershoot you can use the power limit function.
Output 1 power limit PL1 is contained in the user
menu. If output 2 is not used for cooling (that is, COOL is not
selected for OUT2), then PL2 is hidden. If the controller is used
for ON-OFF control, then both PL1 and PL2 are hidden.
Operation:
Press for 3 seconds, then press several times to reach PL1
and PL2. PL1 and PL2 are adjusted by using the up and down
keys with range of 0–100%.
Example:
OUT2=COOL, PB1=10.0°C, CPB=50, PL1=50, PL2=80
Output 1 and output 2 will act as the following curves:
NOTE:
The adjustment range of MV1 (H) and MV2 (C) for manual con-
trol and/or failure transfer are not limited by PL1 and PL2.
4–8 Data Communication
Two types of interfaces are avail-
able for data communication.
These are the RS-485 and RS-
232 interfaces. Since RS-485
uses a differential architecture to
drive and sense signal instead of
a single ended architecture
which RS-232 uses, RS-485 is
less sensitive to noise and more
suitable for communication over
longer distances. RS-485 can
communicate without error over
a distance of 1km while RS-232
is not recommended for dis-
tances over 20 meters.
Using a PC for data communica-
tion is the most economical method. The signal is transmitted and
received through the PC communication port (generally RS-232).
Since a standard PC can’t support an RS-485 port, a network
adapter (such as TEC99001) has to be used to convert RS-485 to
RS-232 for a PC if RS-485 is required for data communication.
Up to 247 RS-485 units can be connected to one RS-232 port;
therefore a PC with four comm ports can communicate with 988
units.
Setup
Enter the setup menu.
Select FULL (full function) for
FUNC.
Select 485 for COMM if RS-485
is required, or 232 if RS-232 is
required. Select RTU (i.e.,
Modbus protocol RTU mode )
for PROT. Set individual
addresses for any units that are
connected to the same port. Set
the baud rate (BAUD), data bit
(DATA), parity bit (PARI) and
stop bit (STOP) so that these val-
ues are accordant with the PC
setup conditions.
NOTE: If the TEC-9300 is con-
figured for RS-232 communica-
tion, the EI (event input) is dis-
connected internally. The unit
can no longer perform event
input function (EIFN).
When you attach an RS-232
module (TEC-102-103) to the
connectors on the CPU board,
you also need to modify jumper
JP22 according to section 2-16.
If you use a conventional 9-pin
RS-232 cable instead of CC94-1,
the cable should be modified for
the proper operation of RS-232
communications according to
section 2-16.
