Heating/Cooling Control Output Limits
The upper limit of the heating output is defined with the Upper Output Limit (n.OH)
parameter (where n: 1-4), and the upper limit of the cooling output is defined with the
Lower Output Limit (n.OL) parameter (where n: 1-4). The lower limit of the heating or
cooling output is fixed at 0%.

In Automatic mode, depending on the dead band and cooling gain preset values,
sometimes the cooling output will never reach the Lower Output Limit (n.OL) (n: 1-4).
TIP
In Automatic mode of heating/cooling PID control, the output range is defined by restricting the PID
computation result within upper and lower limits that are calculated from the specified upper and lower
output limits as follows:
- Upper limit for PID computation result =
upper output limit (n.OH) (n: 1-4)/2 + dead band [%]/2 + 50%
- Lower limit for PID computation result =
50% - lower output limit (n.OL) (n: 1-4)/(2 x cooling gain) - dead band [%]/2
where the dead band is converted from industrial unit to percentage as follows:
Dead band [%] = ((dead band in industrial unit)/(PRH - PRL) x 100%) x 100%/(proportional band x 2).
The PID computation result is further restricted within 200%. Therefore, even if the computed lower
limit for PID computation result is less than -200%, the PID computation result is still limited by -200%
and so is the cooling output.
