Configuration 
3.8  Output Set Up Group 
Introduction 
This group deals with various output types in the controller, the Digital Output Status and 
the Current Output operation.  
 ATTENTION
 The Tuning Group is automatically configured to have two PID sets 
when a Duplex Control Algorithm is selected.

Definition 
OUT ALG 
 
The OUTPUT ALGORITHM lets you select the type 
of output you want. Not applicable with Control 
algorithm prompt 3PSTEP. 
Selections are hardware dependent. For example, if 
the controller does not have a current output, then 
none of the prompts for Output Algorithms that need 
a current output will appear. Likewise, if the 
controller does not have a relay output, then none of 
the prompts that need a relay output will appear. 
 ATTENTION  For all Duplex Output forms, PID heat 
parameters apply for controller output greater than 
50 %; PID cool parameters apply for controller 
output less than 50 %. 
 
TIME 
TIME SIMPLEX—This output algorithm uses Digital 
Output 1 for Time Proportional Control. The output is 
updated per the Loop sampling rate selection. Time 
Proportional Output has a resolution of 4.44 msec. 
Cycle Time is adjustable from 1 to 120 seconds. 
 
CURRENT 
CURRENT SIMPLEX—Type of output using one 4 
mA to 20 mA signal that can be fed into a positive or 
negative grounded load of 0 to 1000 ohms. This 
signal can easily be configured for 4-20 mA or 0-20 
mA operation via the CO RANGE configuration, 
below. 
 
POSITON 
POSITION PROPORTIONAL —Type of output using 
two relays and a motor that has a 100 to 1000 ohms 
feedback slidewire. 
This output algorithm selection forces Input 2 to the 
SLIDEW selection when the Control Algorithm is any 
selection other than 3PSTEP.
