Watlow F4T Controller • 37 • Chapter 2 Configuration Using Composer
Name
User-entered identifier for the profile. The name follows the profile when it is saved in a file
or moved to another controller.
Note:
If data logging is enabled for the profile it is suggested that the profile name be limited to
characters between A to Z, a to z or 0 to 9. The data log filename will replace any other
characters with an underscore ( _ ).
Password
User-set code that must be entered prior to editing a protected profile. A password may con-
sist of up to ten characters, may include letters, numbers or symbols and is case sensitive.
Guaranteed Soak Deviation/Guaranteed Soak Values: Loop1 to Loop4
The amount by which the process value is allowed to differ from the loop’s set point for steps
with Guaranteed Soak Enable set to On. In such steps when the process value differs from the
set point by more than this value, the step timer stops running until the process value is re-
turns to within the band defined by the set point plus or minus this value.
Step Parameters
The following parameters set the behavior of a profile’s steps. Only the parameters that apply
to the selected step type appear in the step detail.
Step Type
Set the behavior of the step.
Options:
• Soak: maintains the each loop’s set point constant for the step’s Time.
• Ramp Time: adjusts each loop’s set point gradually from the previous set point to the
step’s Set Point over the step’s Time.
• Ramp Rate: adjusts each loop’s set point at the user-set Rate of change until it reaches
the step’s Set Point.
• Wait For Process or Event: holds the profile until the specified conditions on the event
inputs are met. When multiple conditions are specified, the profile will not proceed un-
til all the conditions are satisfied at the same time.
• Instant Change: sets each loop’s set point to the step’s Set Point without ramping from
the previous set point and holds that set point for the step’s Time.
• Jump: repeats previous steps in the profile starting at the step set with Jump to Step
for the Number of Times set. This option is not available for step 1. A value of zero en-
tered for the Number of Times will create an infinite loop.
• End: sets what each loop and event output does when the profile ends.
Time: Hours Minutes Seconds
Set the duration of the step.
Note:
Step timing will be impacted if the a profile is running and the time settings are changed.
