Profile Control π The main purpose of the Series F4 is to control profiles for ramp-and-soak-processing applications. The instructions below explain how to use an existing profile. To program a profile, see Chapter 4, Profile Programming. To Start/Run a Profile To initiate the profile mode, press the Profile Key π and answer the questions that follow. While running a profile, the Profile Status message on the lower display will keep you informed about the progress of the profile.
To Hold a Running Profile 1. Press the Profile Key π while running a profile. The Profile Action Menu appears. 2. Choose to Don’t Hold, Hold or Terminate the profile. (Default is to Don’t Hold.) If you choose to hold the profile, the Main Page reappears, and the Profile Status message reads “Profile X holding.” The Profile Indicator Light is off. If you do not make a choice when the Profile Action Menu appears, the profile continues running and the profile indicator light stays on.
Alarm Set Points ✔ NOTE: PID Set 1 for Channel 1 and PID Set 6 for Channel 2 are used in the Static Set Point mode. The Series F4 includes two alarm outputs, which can be programmed as process or deviation alarms. Autotuning Procedure Process alarms notify the operator when process values exceed or fall below Alarm Low and Alarm High Set Points. Deviation alarms notify the operator when the process has deviated from the set point beyond the deviation limits.
Integral (Reset): Define the integral time in minutes per repeat; define reset in repeats per minute. Set repeats per minute if units are U.S.; minutes per repeat if units are SI. Derivative (Rate): Define the derivative (rate) time in minutes. Large values prevent overshoot but can cause sluggishness. Decrease if necessary. Dead Band: Define the dead band in degrees or units. Heating dead band shifts the set point down. Cooling dead band shifts the set point up.
Cascade Cascade control is available on the Series F4 controllers. For background information about cascade control, see the Features Chapter. Select cascade control through the Analog Input 3 Menu (Setup Page) and choose Process Cascade or Deviation Cascade. To set the range for the Process Cascade Inner Loop set point, use Low and High Range settings. These are independent of the Channel 1 set point. Deviation Cascade uses Deviation Low and High settings that are referenced to the Channel 1 set point.

What Is a Ramping Profile? A profile is a set of instructions programmed as a sequence of steps. The controller handles the profile steps automatically, in sequence. As many as 40 different profiles and a total of 256 steps can be stored in the Series F4’s non-volatile memory. The 256 steps are grouped by profile. So, one profile could have 256 steps; or 39 profiles could have 6 steps and one could have 22; or 32 profiles could have eight steps each.
Soak Soak maintains the set point from the previous step for a chosen time in hours, minutes and seconds. Define the Soak step by choosing: 1. Wait for an event or process value; (Wait for Events are set up in the Setup Page.) 2. Event outputs to turn on or off (if digital outputs are set up as events in the Setup Page); process value must arrive at or cross the specified value before the step proceeds.
How to Program a New Profile F4 The Series F4 uses a question-and-answer format to prompt you to define the steps and step types of a new profile. Here’s how: 1.Go to the Profiles Page. Move the cursor to Go to Profiles (at the bottom of the Main Page), then press the Right Key . . 2.Create a new profile. Press . . 3.Name the profile. Unless the equipment manufacturer has locked out this function, you can name your profiles for easy reference. (Names can have up to 10 characters.
• how much time it will take to reach set point; • what the set point is; • which PID set to activate; and • whether you want a guaranteed soak. Continue defining step types until your profile is complete. The last step must be an End step. Enter Ramp Time:____ 00:00:01 (H:M:S) ▼ ▲ Adjusts Digit < > Save Changes 6.Choose the end-state. All profiles end with an End step, which is preprogrammed into the new profile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Profiles 1. Why should I check the Setup Page before programming a profile? Complex, sophisticated profile control is possible with the Series F4’s two or three analog inputs, four digital inputs, four control outputs (two for a single-channel controller), two alarm outputs, two retransmit outputs and eight digital outputs, but they must be configured correctly. Don’t assume that the controller has been set up correctly for the profile you want to program and run.

Sample Application: Setup for Environmental Testing F4 1A 1B 2A 2B Main Page___________ Go to Profiles Go to Setup Go to Factory 1 2 Analog Input 1 i For greatest accuracy in measuring the chamber temperature, a resistance temperature detection (RTD) sensor has been wired to analog input 1. Andy wanted to measure tenths of degrees Fahrenheit, with an alarm that would clear by itself if the temperature exceeded or fell below the active alarm set point band.
Analog Input 2 Analog Input 3 The humidity sensor on analog input 2 was a process sensor using a 4 to 20 mA signal, so Andy set the high end of the scale (20mA) for 100% and the low (4mA) for 0% relative humidity (rh). Knowing that process sensor displays are sometimes jumpy, he put a 1-second filter on it to stabilize it. A thermocouple (type J) sensor was adequate to measure the temperature of the equipment itself (analog input 3). The other settings remained the same as analog input 1.

Inputs/Outputs Calibration Offset You can view or change the offset value of inputs 1, 2 or 3 with the Calibration Offset parameter. Temperature Calibration offset allows a device to compensate for an inaccurate sensor, lead resistance or other factors that affect the input value. A positive offset increases the input value, and a negative offset decreases the input value. The negative calibration offset will compensate for the difference between the sensor reading and the actual temperature.
Set Point Low Limit and High Limit You can view or change the input low limit (SP Low Limit) and the input high limit (SP High Limit) for analog inputs 1, 2 or 3. Location in software: Setup Page > Analog Input x (1 to 3). High Limit of selected Sensor Range SP High Limit Range (between High Limit of Sensor and SP Low Limit) SP High Limit Temperature The controller constrains the set point to a value between a low limit and a high limit.
Control Methods On-Off Control The heating action switches off when the process temperature rises above the set point. Temperature On-off control switches the output either full on or full off, depending on the input, set point and hysteresis values. The hysteresis value indicates the amount the process value must deviate from the set point to turn on the output. Increasing the value decreases the number of times the output will cycle. Decreasing hysteresis improves controllability.
Proportional plus Integral (PI) Control Set Point Droop Proportional Band Droop corrected Temperature The droop caused by proportional control (reset) can be corrected by adding integral control. When the system settles down the integral value is tuned to bring the temperature or process value closer to the set point. Integral determines the speed of the correction, but this may increase the overshoot at startup or when the set point is changed. T oo much integral action will make the system unstable.
Multiple PID Sets The Series F4 has five PID sets available for each channel, sets 1 to 5 for Channel 1 and sets 6 to 10 for Channel 2, allowing optimal performance under different conditions, loads and temperatures. In the Static Set Point mode, PID Set 1 is used for Channel 1 and PID Set 6 is used for Channel 2 control. When programming a profile, you can assign different sets to each Ramp step and Soak step. A PID set includes proportional, integral and derivative settings for outputs A and B.
Other Features Auto-tune begins (on-off control). Autotuning Auto-tune is complete (PID control). Auto-tune Set Point (Default is 90% of process set point.) Temperature The autotuning feature allows the controller to measure the system response to determine effective settings for PID control. When autotuning is initiated the controller reverts to on-off control. The temperature must cross the auto-tune set point four times to complete the autotuning process.
Alarms Alarms are activated when the process value or temperature leaves a defined range. A user can configure how and when an alarm is triggered, what action it takes and whether it turns off automatically when the alarm condition is over. Configure alarm outputs in the Setup Page before setting alarm set points. Alarm Set Points The alarm high set point defines the process value or temperature that will trigger a high side alarm.
Alarm Latching The alarm state begins when the temperature reaches the alarm high set point. A latched alarm will remain active after the alarm condition has passed. It can only be deactivated by the user. An alarm that is not latched (self-clearing) will deactivate automatically when the alarm condition has passed. Alarm Hysteresis Temperature Location in software: Setup Page > Alarm x (1 or 2).
Advanced Features Boost Heat and Boost Cool The boost heat feature uses a digital output to turn on an additional heater to speed up the heating. As the process temperature approaches the set point, the boost heat output switches off so that the process temperature doesn’t overshoot the set point. 100% 85% Boost Percent Power = 85% Heat % Power Boost cool uses a digital output to speed up the cooling process, typically by activating a solenoid valve that releases liquid nitrogen.

Too much energy is introduced and the set point is overshot. In most systems with long lag time, the process value may never settle out to an acceptable error. Curve C represents a single-control system tuned to minimize overshoot. This results in unacceptable heat-up rates, taking hours to reach the final value.

Glossary cold junction. ı) — Both direct and alternating current. ac/dc (ı control mode — The type of action that a controller uses. For example, on/off, time proportioning, PID, automatic or manual, and combinations of these. alternating current — An electric current that reverses at regular intervals, and alternates positive and negative values. cycle time — The time required for a controller to complete one on-off-on cycle. It is usually expressed in seconds.
form A — A single-pole, single-throw relay that uses only the normally open (NO) and common contacts. These contacts close when the relay coil is energized. They open when power is removed from the coil. form B — A single-pole, single-throw relay that uses only the normally closed (NC) and common contacts. These contacts open when the relay coil is energized. They close when power is removed from the coil.
events, etc. The high process variable is the highest value of the process range, expressed in engineering units. The low process variable is the lowest value of the process range. proportional — Output effort proportional to the error from set point. For example, if the proportional band is 20° and the process is 10° below set point, the heat proportioned effort is 50 percent. The lower the PB value, the higher the gain.
