10.4 Mode
(PATH: Menu/PID Setup/Mode)
This menu contains the selection of control modes using a relay or analog output.
10.4.1 PID Mode
This menu assigns a relay or analog output for PID control action as well as details of their
operation. Based on the control device being used, select one of the following three paragraphs
for use with solenoid valve, pulse input metering pump or analog control.
Pulse Length – If using a solenoid valve, select ”Relays” and ”PL”, Pulse Length. Choose the
first relay position as #1 if controlling a pump or signal-to-open valve. Choose the second relay
position as #2 if controlling a signal-to-close valve. Set the pulse length (feed cycle time) in
seconds. A short pulse length will provide more uniform feed. A longer pulse length will reduce
wear on the solenoid valve. A value of 10 seconds may be a good starting point. The % ”on”
time in the cycle is proportional to the control output.
Pulse Frequency – If using a pulse input metering pump, select ”Relays” and ”PF”, Pulse
Frequency. Choose the first relay position as #3 if controlling a pump. Choose the second relay
position as #4 if controlling a reverse acting pump. Set the pulse frequency to the maximum
frequency allowed for the particular pump being used, typically 60 to 100 pulses/minute.
Control action will produce this frequency at 100% output.
CAUTION: Setting the Pulse Frequency too high may cause the pump to overheat.
Analog – If using Analog control, change ”Relays” to ”Analogout”. Choose the first Analogout
position as #1 if controlling a pump or signal-to-open valve. Choose the second Analogout
position as #2 if controlling a signal-to-close valve. Select the analog output current range
required by the control device, 4–20 or 0–20 mA.
After assigning the PID control action, pressing the [ENTER] key again will bring up the Save
Changes dialog.
