Input configuration
Internal inputs 1T temperature and 1H humidity (with added AES3-HT-A2, -A3 or -A5 element)
Sensor sampling rate (control speed decrease as rate increases)
Alarm 1 (1T), Alarm 3 (1H) low limit
Alarm 1 (1T), Alarm 3 (1H) low limit values
Alarm 2 (1T), Alarm 4 (1H) high limit
Alarm 2 (1T), Alarm 4 (1H) high limit values
Hysteresis Alarm 1, 2, 3, 4
Calculate a range of inputs (0= not active):
1= average, 2= minimum, 3= maximum, 4= differential
Universal inputs 1U = UI1, 2U = UI2 (TCI-W22-U only)
Signal type (0= not active):
1= 0-10V or 0-20mA, 2= 2-10V or 4-20mA, 3= passive temperature
Analog input display range: 0= x 0.1, 1= x 1, 2= x 10, 3 = x 100
Analog input unit of measure: 0= no unit, 1= %, 2= °C /°F, 3= Pa
Sensor sampling rate (control speed decrease as rate increases)
Alarm 5 (1U), Alarm 7 (2U) low limit
Alarm 5 (1U), Alarm 7 (2U) low limit value
Alarm 6 (1U), Alarm 8 (2U) high limit
Alarm 6 (1U), Alarm 8 (2U) high limit value
Hysteresis alarm 5 and 6 (1U), alarm 7 and 8 (2U)
Calculate a range of inputs (0=not active):
1= average, 2= minimum, 3= maximum, 4= differential
➔ Set jumpers on the back of the controller: 0–10VDC (default), 0–20mA, or RT/DI (passive temperature or binary)
➔ Further define analog inputs with U00
➔ Match sensor range to input display. With a differential pressure transmitter having 0–200 Pa measuring range set UO1
display minimum to 0 and U02 display maximum to 200. The allowable range value of -50–205 may be adjusted with
multipliers inU03. The largest displayable values are -990–9999. Limiting range increases resolution. Applies to analog as
well as passive temperature inputs.
➔ For binary input (open/close contact) set the jumper to RT/DI and parameter U00 to an analog input. An open contact
reads as a high value (100%), a closed contact as a low value (0%).
➔ Enable / Disable an alarm. Setting the alarm enable to OFF will prevent the alarm from being displayed on screen. It may
never the less be used to control an output by setting the appropriate output alarm flags. This way, an alarm limit may be
used as interlock.
➔ Specify the input value that triggers an alarm. Hysteresis is the difference between alarm level input and value required
to turn the alarm off. An alarm is displayed as text if enabled (see table). Alarm text can be set to blink continuously until
acknowledged by pressing the OPTION button or only while the alarm conditions are active (see user parameter UP15).
➔ Calculate mathematical functions over multiple inputs for loop control or display with xU12. In order to calculate average,
minimum or maximum between several inputs, make sure all the inputs are of identical type and range and then activate
the same function on xU12 on all the selected inputs. The largest input of the group selected will carry the calculated
value. For example: When average is activated on 2U12 and 1U12 = 1, the average is carried on UI2.UI2 may now be
used as input for control loops and it will show the average value of UI1 and UI2 combined. It is possible to use different
functions on different inputs. For example: minimum of UI1 and UI3 and maximum of UI2 and UI4.
➔ The differential function may only be calculated on subsequent inputs. Such as UI2-UI1. The function must only be
activated on the minuend (UI2 in this example). The displayed value of the minuend will change into the difference: UI2
in – UI1 = UI2 out. It is possible to have multiple differentials on one controller. It is not possible to reverse the
subtraction to UI1-UI2.
