GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model T16 Controller accepts signals from a variety of
temperature sensors (thermocouple or RTD), while the Model
P16 Controller accepts either a 0 to 10 VDC or 0/4 to 20 mA DC
input signal. Both controllers can provide an accurate output
control signal (time proportional or DC Analog Output) to
maintain a process at a setpoint value. Dual 4-digit displays allow
viewing of the process/temperature and setpoint simultaneously.
Front panel indicators inform the operator of the controller and
output status. The comprehensive programming allows these
controllers to meet a wide variety of application requirements.
MAIN CONTROL
The controller operates in the PID Control Mode for both
heating and cooling, with on-demand auto-tune, that establishes
the tuning constants. The PID tuning constants may be fine-
tuned through the front panel and then locked out from further
modification. The controller employs a unique overshoot
suppression feature, that allows the quickest response without
excessive overshoot. Switching to Manual Mode provides the
operator direct control of the output. The controller may also be
programmed to operate in On/Off mode with adjustable
hysteresis.
ALARMS
Optional alarm(s) can be configured independently for
absolute high or low acting with balanced or unbalanced
hysteresis. They can also be configured for deviation and band
alarm. In these modes, the alarm trigger values track the setpoint
value. Adjustable alarm trip delays can be used for delaying
output response. The alarms can be programmed for Automatic
or Latching operation. A selectable standby feature suppresses
the alarm during power-up until the temperature stabilizes
outside the alarm region.
ANALOG OUTPUT OPTION
The optional DC Analog Output (10 V or 20 mA) can be
configured and scaled for control or re-transmission purposes.
The programmable output update time reduces valve or actuator
activity.
PC PROGRAMMING KIT
The optional TP16KIT contains a programming module with a
9 pin RS232 connector, cable and Windows
®
based
configuration software. The software allows downloading,
uploading and storage of T16 and P16 program files. All
controllers have a communications port that allows configuration
by PC even without controller power connected. Controller
calibration is also possible using the software when the proper
calibration equipment and controller power is connected.
CONSTRUCTION
The controller is constructed of a lightweight, high impact,
black plastic textured case and bezel with a clear display window.
The front panel meets NEMA 4X/IP65 specifications when
properly installed. In applications that do not require protection to
NEMA 4X, multiple controllers can be stacked horizontally or
vertically. Modern surface-mount technology, extensive testing,
plus high immunity to noise interference makes the controller
extremely reliable in industrial environments.
