Why can't I set SV, P, I, D, OUT1, alarm value on my Shinko FCD-13A Controller?
If you are unable to set the SV, P, I, D, OUT1 proportional cycle, or alarm value, check if a set value lock (Lock 1 or Lock 2) is selected. If so, release the lock selection. Also, check if AT (Auto-tuning) is in progress, and if it is, cancel AT.
Why is the PV display indication irregular or unstable on my Shinko Controller?
An irregular or unstable PV display indication can occur for several reasons: * The sensor input selection may be incorrect; set the sensor input properly using the rotary switch (SW303) and the DIP switch (SW304). * The temperature unit may be incorrect; set it to a suitable unit with the DIP switch. * The sensor correction value may be unsuitable; set it to a suitable value. * AC might be leaking into the thermocouple or RTD circuit; use an ungrounded type sensor. Also, ensure that equipment that interferes with or makes noise is kept away from the controller, and that the thermocouple or RTD specification is appropriate.
What to do if the PV does not rise on my Shinko FCD-13A?
If the PV is not rising, there are a few things to check: * The thermocouple or RTD may be out of order; replace the sensor. * Check whether the sensor or control output terminals are securely connected to the input or output terminals of the instrument. * Ensure that the wiring of sensor and control output terminals are correct.
Why is the PV display flashing on my Shinko Controller?
A flashing PV display can indicate a problem with the thermocouple or RTD. Check the following: * The thermocouple or RTD may be burnt out; change the sensor. * Ensure the lead wire of the thermocouple or RTD is securely mounted to the instrument input terminals. * Check if polarity of thermocouple or compensating lead wire is correct. * Check whether codes (A, B, B) of RTD match with the instrument terminals.
Why is the Shinko FCD-13A Controller not performing control, and only the PV display is indicated?
If the controller is not performing control and only the PV display is indicated, it could be due to the following: * The Control output OFF function is active; cancel the function by pressing the key for approximately 1 second. * The Program mode is selected; to start Program control, press the key. To perform Fixed value control, select the Fixed value control mode by pressing the key for approximately 3 seconds while holding down the key.
What to do if the setting indications do not change on my Shinko Controller?
If the setting indications do not change within the input range even when the keys are pressed, and new values cannot be set, the SV high limit or SV low limit in [Auxiliary function setting mode 1] may be set at the point where the value does not change. Set it to a suitable value during Auxiliary function setting mode 1.
Why can't I select the setting mode on my Shinko Controller?
If the setting mode cannot be selected, it may be because Manual control is selected. Change the mode to Automatic control.
What to do if program control does not start on my Shinko Controller?
If program control does not start even when the key is pressed in the Program mode, it may be because the step time has not been set. Set the step time.
Why can't I change from Manual to Automatic control on my Shinko FCD-13A Controller?
If the mode cannot be changed from Manual control to Automatic control by keypad, the mode may have been set to “Manual control” by External operation. External operation has priority.
Why can't I change from Remote to Local setting on my Shinko Controller?
If the mode cannot be changed from Remote setting to Local setting by keypad, the mode may have been set to “Remote setting” by External operation. External operation has priority.
