SIPART DR20 Project Planning Manual
In section y = 0 % to ya (cooling)
the period is set using T- and the associated output is -∆y. The control ratio is then from 1
at y = 0 % at y = ya.
In section y = ye to 100 % (heating)
the period is set using T+ and the associated output is +∆y. The control ratio is then from 0
at y = ye to 1 at y = 100 %
If only one output range is required with a normal-action system (e.g. heating), output +∆y should
be used and ya and ye both set to 0 % (Fig. 3/27b).
With a reverse-action system (e.g. cooling), output -∆y should be used and ya and ye both set to
100 %.

The period (T+ and T-) is adjustable. The switch-on and switch-off durations are then longer or
shorter accordingly. The ratio between these two is not changed. This only depends on the
negative deviation and the control algorithm.
