Output Tab
The Output tab, shown in Figure 9-8, is used to define the type of output the controller uses for the
heating process and specific parameters for the output type. All settings in this dialog box are set for each
loop in your system at the Asymtek factory prior to shipping.
Command Description
Enable
Click Enable to activate the options on this tab.
Type
The Type of output used most often for the dispensing system
heaters is Time Proportioning (TP). In this Type, the percent
output is converted to a percent duty cycle on the programmed
cycle time.
Action
The Action sets the control action of the loop. Normally, heat
outputs are set to Reverse and cool outputs are set to Direct.
Heat Output Cycle
Time
Heat Output Cycle Time is used only with Time Proportioning
(TP) type outputs to regulate module temperature.
Heat Output Limit
Heat Output Limit can be used with IR heaters to limit the
temperature ramp. This is done to prevent damaging heated
components on the workpiece by ramping the temperature
too fast.
Heat Output Limit
Time
Output limit time in seconds. Enter 0 for continuous.
