• If CtrL (control method) is set to 0 (ON/OFF control), dIFF (ON/OFF control
differential) and OFFS (ON/OFF control operating point offset) are displayed and
the settings can be changed.

The meaning of the symbols in the diagram:

: ON/OFF changes when the value is exceeded
• Example of how to use the ON/OFF control differential and the ON/OFF control
operating point offset:
In heating control with SP = 200 °C, if you want to turn off the output when the
temperature is 205 °C or higher and turn on the output when the temperature
falls below 190 °C, set the differential to 15 °C and the offset to 5 °C.
In cooling control with SP = 10 °C, if you want to turn off the output when the
temperature is 5 °C or lower and turn on the output when the temperature is
above 10 °C, set the differential to 5 °C and the offset to −5 ° C.
Handling Precautions
• dIFF (ON/OFF control differential) and OFFS (ON/OFF control operating
point offset) should be set so that the output is turned on or off within
the PV range.
