Watlow PM PLUS 6 User Manual

Watlow PM PLUS™ 6 • 106 • Chapter 9: Applications
Example 1: Single Loop Control
Requirements: One input is required and at least one output adjusts the controlled part of the process.
Overview: Controls one process value to a user entered Set Point based on an control algorithm.
Control loop 1 will control Analog Input 1 to Set Point 1.
Example 2: Sensor Backup
Requirements: Two analog inputs and the enhanced software option are required and at least one output adjusts
the controlled part of the process.
Overview: The Sensor Backup feature controls a process based on a primary sensor on Analog Input 1. If this
sensor fails, then the process is controlled based on the secondary sensor on Analog Input 2.
When function is set for Sensor Backup, the PV Function output equals Source A if sensor of Analog Input 1
reading is valid or Source B if sensor reading is invalid. Control loop 1 will control the valid Analog Input sensor
to Set Point 1.
