2 ELECTRICAL CONECTIONS
2.1 General notes about wiring
1. Do not run input wires together with power cables.
2. External components (like zener barriers, etc.) connected
between sensor and input terminals may cause errors in
measurement due to excessive and/or not balanced line
resistance or possible leakage currents.
3. When a shielded cable is used, it should be connected at
one point only.
4. Pay attention to the line resistance, a high line resistance
may cause measurement errors.

Safety notes:
–To avoid electrical shocks, connect power line at last.
–For supply connections use No. 16 AWG or larger wires
rated for at least 75°C.
–Use copper conductors only.
–SSR outputs are not isolated. A reinforced isolation must
be assured by the external solid state relays.
–For SSR, mA and V outputs if the line length is longer than
30 m use a shielded wire.

Ascon Tecnologic - K_5P Series - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 5

5 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
5.1 Introduction
When the instrument is powered, it performs a LED test (all
LED ON) and a self test. During self test the upper display
shows the label: tESt, while the lower diplay shows the
FirmWare version (e.g.: r.1.0.0). At the end of self test the
instrument starts immediately working in accordance with
the parameters values loaded in its memory. The instrument
behaviour and its performance are governed by the value of
the stored parameters. At first start up the instrument uses
a “default” parameter set (factory parameter set); this set is a
generic one (e.g. a TC J input is programmed).
m Before connecting the output actuators, we recommend to configure the parameters to suit
your application (e.g.: input type, Control strategy,
alarms, etc.).
To change these parameters you need to enter the
“Configuration mode”.
m Do not change the [5] Unit (Engineering Unit) value during process control as the temperature values
inserted by the user (thresholds, limits etc.) are not
automatically rescaled by the instrument.
5.2 Instrument behaviour at Power ON
At power ON the instrument can start in one of the following
mode depending on its configuration:
Auto mode without program functions.
–The upper display shows the measured value;
–The lower display shows the Set point value;
–The decimal figure of the less significant digit of the upper
display is OFF;
–The instrument is performing the standard closed loop control.
Manual mode (oPLo).
–The upper display shows the measured value;
–The lower display shows the power output and the MAN
LED is lit;
–The instrument performs NO Automatic control;
–The control output is equal to 0% and can be manually
modified by and keys.
Stand-by mode (St.bY).
–The upper display shows the measured value;
–The lower display shows alternately the set point value and
the message St.bY or od;
–The instrument performs NO control at all (the control
outputs are OFF);
–The instrument is working as an indicator.
Auto mode with automatic program start up.
–The upper display shows the measured value;
–The lower display shows one of the following information;
• The operative set point (when it is performing a ramp)
• The time of the segment in progress (when it is perform-
ing a soak);
NOTE VERY WELL: In all cases, the decimal figure of the
less significant digit of the lower display is lit.
We define all the above described conditions as “Standard
Display”.
5.3 Entering the “Configuration modes”
The configuration parameters are collected in various groups.
Every group defines all parameters related with a specific
function (e.g.: control, alarms, output functions).
1. Press the key for more than 5 seconds. The upper
display shows PASS while the lower display shows 0.
2. Using and keys set the programmed password.
Notes: 1. The factory default password for configuration
parameters is equal to 30.
2. During parameter modification the instrument
continues to control the process.
In certain conditions, when a configuration
change can produce a heavy bump to the
process, it is advisable to temporarily stop the
control during the programming operations (the
control output will be Off). In this case, use a
password equal to 2000 + the programmed value
(e.g. 2000 + 30 = 2030).
The control will restart automatically when the
configuration procedure will be manually closed.
3. Press the key. If the password is correct the display
starts showing the acronym of the first parameter group
preceded by the symbol: ]. In other words the upper
display will show: ]inp (group of the Input parameters).
The instrument is in configuration mode.
5.4 Exiting the “Configuration mode”
Push key for more than 5 seconds, the instrument
returns to the “Standard display”.
5.5 Keyboard functions during
parameter changing
A short pression on the key exits from the current
parameter group and selects a new parameter group.
A long pression allows to close the configuration
parameter procedure (the instrument returns to the
“Standard display”).
When the upper display is showing a group and the
lower display is blank, this key allows to enter in the
selected group.
When the upper display is showing a parameter and
the lower display is showing its value, this key allows
to store the selected value for the current parameter
and access the next parameter within the same group.
Increases the value of the selected parameter.
Decreases the value of the selected parameter.
+ These two keys allow to return to the previous
group. Proceed as follows:
Push the key and maintaining the pressure, push
the key; release both the keys.
Note: The group selection is cyclic as well as the selection
of the parameters in a group.

5.6 Factory reset - default parameters
loading procedure
Sometimes, e.g. when you re-configure an instrument
previously used for other works (or by other people) or when
you have made too many errors during configuration and
you decided to re-configure the instrument, it is possible to
restore the factory configuration.
This action allows to put the instrument in a defined
condition (the same it was at the first power ON).
The default data are those typical values loaded in the
instrument prior to ship it from factory.
To load the factory default parameter set, proceed as follows:
1. Press the key for more than 5 seconds;
2. The upper display starts showing PASS while the lower
display shows 0;
3. Using and keys set the value -481;
4. Push key;

5.7 Parameters configuration
In the following pages we will describe all the instrument
parameters. However, the instrument only shows
those parameters applicable to the hardware options in
accordance with the specific instrument configuration
(i.e.: setting AL1t [Alarm 1 type] to nonE [not used], all
parameters related to alarm 1 will be skipped).

Notes: 1. When a TC or RTD input is selected and a decimal
figure is programmed (see the next parameter) the
max. displayed value becomes 999.9°C or 999.9°F.
2. All changes to SEnS parameter setting forces [2] dP
= 0 and this causes a change to all parameters re-
lated with it (e.g. set points, proportional band, etc.).
[2] dP - Decimal point position
Available: Always.
Range: When [1] SenS = Linear input: 0... 3.
When [1] SenS different from linear input: 0 or 1.
Note: All changes to dP parameter setting causes a change
to all parameters related with it (e.g.: Set Points,
proportional band, etc.).
[3] SSc - Initial scale read-out for linear inputs
Available: When a linear input is selected by [1] SenS.
Range: -1999... 9999.
Notes: 1. SSc defines, for linear inputs, the value that is to
be displayed when the instrument measures the
minimum measurable value.
The instrument is able to display the measured
value until it reaches a value of 5% lower than SSc,
below which shows the Underrange message.
2. It is possible to set an initial scale read-out higher
than the full scale read-out in order to obtain a
reverse read-out scaling.
E.g.:
0 mA = 0 mBar and 20 mA = -1000 mBar (vacuum).
[4] FSc - Full scale read-out for linear input
Available: When a linear input is selected by [1] SenS.
Range: -1999... 9999
Notes: 1. FSc defines, for linear inputs, the value that is to
be displayed when the instrument measures the
maximum measurable value.
The instrument is able to display the measured
value until it reaches a value of 5% higher than
FSc, above which shows the Overrange message.
2. It is possible to set a full scale read-out lower
than the initial scale read-out in order to obtain a
reverse read-out scaling.
E.g.:
0 mA = 0 mBar and 20 mA = -1000 mBar (vacuum).

Ascon Tecnologic - K_5P SERIES Line - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 11
[5] unit - Engineering unit
Available: When a temperature sensor is selected by
[1] SenS parameter.
Range: °c Celsius;
°F Fahrenheit.
m An engineering unit modification does NOT produce the automatic re-scaling of all parameters related
with the engineering unit (e.g. alarm thresholds,
proportional band, etc.).
[6] FiL - Digital filter on the measured value
Available: Always.
Range: oFF No filter;
0.1... 20.0 s
Note: This is a first order digital filter applied on the measured
value. For this reason it will affect the measured value
but also the control action and the alarms behaviour .
[7] inE - Selection of the Sensor Out of Range type
that will enable the safety output value
Available: Always.
Range: our When an overrange or an underrange is
detected, the power output will be forced to
the value of [8] oPE parameter.
or When an overrange is detected, the power
output will be forced to the value of [8] oPE
parameter.
ur When an underrange is detected, the power
output will be forced to the value of [8] oPE
parameter.
[8] oPE - Safety output value
Available: Always.
Range: -100... 100% (of the output).
Notes: 1. When the instrument is programmed with one control
action only (heat or cool), setting a value outside of the
available output range, the instrument will use Zero.
E.g.: When heat action only has been programmed,
and oPE is equal to -50% (cooling) the instrument
will use the zero value.
2. When ON/OFF control is programmed and an out
of range is detected, the instrument will perform
the safety output value using a fixed cycle time
equal to 20 seconds.
[9] io4.F - I/O4 function selection
Available: Always.
Range: on Out 4 forced to ON (used as a transmitter
power supply);
out4 Used as digital output 4;
dG2.c Digital input 2 for dry contact;
dG2.U Digital input 2 driven by 12... 24 VDC.
Notes: 1. Setting [9] io4.F = dG2.C or dG2V, the parameter
[24] O4F becomes not visible while [11] diF2
parameter becomes visible.
2. Setting [9] io4F = on the [24] O4F parameter and
the [11]diF2 parameter will NOT be visible.
3. Setting [9] io4F different from dG2.c or dG2.U, the
instrument forces [12] diF2 parameter to nonE.
If [11] diF1 was equal to (SP4 or UPDN) it will be
forced to nonE.
4. The transfer from [9] io4F = on to [9] io4F = Out4
makes parameter [24] O4F visible equal to nonE.

“not active at power up” and “Acknowledgeable”.
Notes: 1. The “not active at power up” selection allows to
inhibit the alarm function at instrument power up
or when the instrument detects a transfer from:
• Manual mode (oplo) to auto mode;
• Stand-by mode to auto mode.
The alarm will be automatically enabled when
the measured value reaches, for the first time,
the alarm threshold ± hysteresis (in other words,
when the initial alarm condition disappears).

[30] AL1L - For High and low alarms it is the low
limit of the AL1 threshold
- For band alarm is the low alarm threshold
Available: When [28] AL1t is different from nonE or [28]
AL1t is different from SE.br.
Range: From -1999 to [30] AL1H engineering units.

Range: From [30] AL1L to 9999 engineering units.
[32] AL1- Alarm 1 threshold
Available: When:
[28] AL1t = LoAb - Absolute low alarm;
[28] AL1t = HiAb - Absolute high alarm;
[28] AL1t = LodE - Deviation low alarm (relative);
[28] AL1t = Hide - Deviation high alarm (relative).
Range: From [30] AL1L to [31] AL1H engineering units.
[33] HAL1 - Alarm 1 hysteresis
Available: When [28] AL1t is different from nonE or
[28] AL1t is different from SE.br.
Range: 1... 9999 engineering units
Notes: 1. The hysteresis value is the difference between
the Alarm threshold value and the point the Alarm
automatically resets.
2. When the alarm threshold plus or minus the
hysteresis is out of input range, the instrument will
not be able to reset the alarm.
Example: Input range 0... 1000 (mBar).
–Set point equal to 900 (mBar);
–Deviation low alarm equal to 50 (mBar);
–Hysteresis equal to 160 (mBar)
the theoretical reset point is 900 - 50 + 160 = 1010 (mBar)
but this value is out of range.
The reset can be made only by turning the instrument
OFF, removing the condition that generates the alarm and
then turn the instrument ON again.
–All band alarms use the same hysteresis value for both
thresholds;
–When the hysteresis of a band alarm is bigger than the
programmed band, the instrument will not be able to reset
the alarm.
Example: Input range 0... 500 (°C).
–Set point equal to 250 (°C);
–Relative band alarm;
–Low threshold equal to 10 (°C);
–High threshold equal to 10 (°C);
–Hysteresis equal to 25 (°C).

]LbA group - Loop break alarm
General note about LBA alarm
The LBA operate as follows: applying the 100% of the power
output to a process, the process variable, after a time due to
the process inertia, begins to change in a known direction (in-
creases for an heating action or decreases for a cooling action).
Example: If I apply 100% of the power output to a furnace,
the temperature must go up unless one of the component in
the loop is faulty (heater, sensor, power supply, fuse, etc...)
The same philosophy can be applied to the minimum power.
In our example, when I turn OFF the power to a furnace, the
temperature must go down, if not the SSR is in short circuit,
the valve is jammed, etc..
LBA function is automatically enabled when the PID requires
the maximum or the minimum power.
When the process response is slower than the programmed
limit the instrument generates an alarm.
Notes: 1. When the instrument is in manual mode, the LBA
function is disabled.
2. When LBA alarm is ON the instrument continues
to perform the standard control. If the process
response comes back into the programmed limit,
the instrument automatically resets the LBA alarm.
3. This function is available only when the programmed
control algorithm is equal to PID (Cont = PID).
[52] LbAt - LBA time
Available: When [56] Cont = PID
Range: oFF LBA not used;
1... 9999 seconds.
[53] LbSt - Delta measure used by LBA during
Soft start
Available: When [52] LbAt is different from oFF.
Range: oFF Loop break alarm is inhibit during soft start
1... 9999 engineering units.
[54] LbAS - Delta measure used by loop break
alarm (loop break alarm step)
Available: When [52] LbAt is different from oFF.
Range: From 1 to 9999 engineering units.
[55] LbcA - Condition for LBA enabling
Available: When [52] LbAt is different from oFF.
Range: uP Enabled when the PID requires the maxi-
mum power only;
dn Enabled when the PID requires the mini-
mum power only:
both Enabled in both condition (when the PID re-
quires the maximum or the minimum power).
LBA application example:
LbAt (LBA time) = 120 seconds (2 minutes);
LbAS (delta LBA) = 5°C.
The machine has been designed in order to reach 200°C in
20 minutes (20°C/min).
When the PID demands 100% power, the instrument starts
the time count.
During time count if the measured value increases more
than 5°C, the instrument restarts the time count. Otherwise
if the measured value does not reach the programmed delta
(5°C in 2 minutes) the instrument will generate the alarm.

[57] Auto - Auto tune selection
Ascon Tecnologic has developed three auto-tune algorithms:
–Oscillating auto-tune;
–Fast auto-tune;
–EvoTune.
1. The oscillating auto-tune is the usual auto-tune and:
• It is more accurate;
• Can start even if PV is close to the set point;
• Can be used even if the set point is close to the
ambient temperature.
2. The fast type is suitable when:
• The process is very slow and you want to be opera-
tive in a short time;
• When an overshoot is not acceptable;
• In multi loop machinery where the fast method
reduces the calculation error due to the effect of the
other loops.
3. The EvoTune type is suitable when:
• You have no information about your process;
• You can not be sure about the end user skills;
• You desire an auto tune calculation independently
from the starting conditions (e.g. set point change
during tune execution, etc).
Note: Fast auto-tune can start only when the measured
value (PV) is lower than (SP + 1/2SP).
Available: When [56] cont = PID
Range: -4... 8 where:
-4 Oscillating auto-tune with automatic restart at
all set point changes;
-3 Oscillating auto-tune with manual start;
-2 Oscillating auto-tune with automatic start at 1st
power up only;
-1 Oscillating auto-tune with automatic restart at
all power up;
0Not used;

point changes.
5 EvoTune with automatic restart at all power up;
6 EvoTune with automatic start at 1st power up only;
7EvoTune with manual start;
8EvoTune with automatic restart at all set point
changes.
Note: All auto-tunes are inhibited during program execution.
[58] tunE - Manual start of the auto-tune
Available: When [56] cont = PID.
Range: oFF The instrument is not performing the auto-tune;
on The instrument is performing the auto-tune.
[59] HSEt - Hysteresis of the ON/OFF control
Available: When [56] cont is different from PID.
Range: 0... 9999 engineering units.
[60] Pb - Proportional band
Available: When [56] cont = PID.
Range: 1... 9999 engineering units.
Note: Auto-tune functions calculate this value.
[61] ti - Integral time
Available: When [56] cont = PID.
Range: OFF Integral action excluded;

[63] Fuoc - Fuzzy overshoot control
This parameter reduces the overshoot usually present at
instrument start up or after a set point change and it will be
active only in this two cases.
Setting a value between 0.00 and 1.00 it is possible to slow
down the instrument action during set point approach.
Setting Fuoc = 1 this function is disabled.

Available: When [56] cont = PID
Range: 0... 2.00.
Note: Fast auto-tune calculates the Fuoc parameter while
the oscillating one sets it equal to 0.5.
[64] tcH - Cycle time of the heating output
Available: When at least one output is programmed in order
to be the heating output (H.rEG), [56] cont = PID
Range: 0.2... 130.0 seconds (from FW r.1.1.0).
1.0 ... 130.0 second (FW until r.1.0.0).
[65] rcG -Power ratio between heating and cool-
ing action (relative cooling gain)
The instrument uses the same PID parameter set for heat
and for cool action but the efficiency of the two actions is
usually different. This parameter allows to define the ratio
between the efficiency of the heating system and the effi-
ciency of the cooling one.
An example will help us to explain the philosophy.
Consider one loop of a plastic extruder. The working tem-
perature is equal to 250°C.
When you want to increase the temperature from 250 to
270°C (DT = 20°C) using 100% of the heating power (resis-
tor), you will need 60 seconds.
On the contrary, when you want to decrease the temperature
from 250 to 230°C (DT = 20°C) using 100% of the cooling
power (fan), you will need 20 seconds only.
In our example the ratio is equal to 60/20 = 3 ([65] rcG = 3)
and it say that the efficiency of the cooling system is 3 time
more efficient of the heating one.
Available: When two control actions are programmed
(H.rEG and c.rEG) and [55] cont = PID.
Range: 0.01... 99.99.
Note: Auto-tune functions calculate this value.

Ascon Tecnologic - K_5P SERIES Line - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 19
[66] tcc - Cycle time of the cooling output
Available: When at least one output is programmed in order
to be the cooling output (c.rEG), [56] cont = PID.
Range: 0.2... 130.0 seconds (from FW r.1.1.0).
1.0... 130.0 seconds (FW until r.1.0.0).
[67] rS - Manual reset (integral pre-load)
It allows to drastically reduce the undershoot due to a
hot restart. When your process is steady, the instrument
operates with a steady power output (e.g.: 30%).
If a short power down occurs, the process restarts with a
process variable close to the set point while the instrument
starts with an integral action equal to zero. Setting a manual
reset equal to the average power output (in our example
30%) the instrument will start with a power output equal to
the value it will use at steady state (instead of zero) and the
undershoot will become very little (in theory equal to zero).
Available: When [56] cont = PID.
Range: -100.0... +100.0%.
[68] Str.t - Servomotor stroke time
Available: When [56] cont = 3Pt.
Range: 5... 1000 seconds.
[69] db.S - Servomotor dead band
Available: When [56] cont = 3Pt.
Range: 0.0... 10.0
[70] od - Delay at power up
Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
Range: oFF Function not used;
0.01... 99.59 hh.mm.
Notes: 1. This parameter defines the time during which
(after a power up) the instrument remains in
stand by mode before to start all other functions
(control, alarms, program, etc.).
2. When a program with automatic start at power up
and “od” function are programmed, the instrument
performs “od” function before to start the program
execution.
3. When an auto-tune with automatic start at
power up and “od” function are programmed, the
autotune will start at the end of “od” delay.
General notes about soft start function
The soft start function allows to limit the power output for
a programmable time ([72] SSt) or up to a programmed
threshold value ([73] SS.tH)(the first of the two).
When soft start function is running the lower display shows
the label SSt alternated to the value selected by [89] diSP
parameter (from FW r.1.1.0).
Setting [72] SSt = inF (soft start always ON) the instrument
does not display the label SSt (from FW r.1.1.0).
[71] St.P - Max. power output used during soft start
Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
Range: -100... +100%.
Notes: 1. When St.P parameter has a positive value, the
limit will be applied to the heating output(s) only.
2. When St.P parameter has a negative value, the
limit will be applied to the cooling output(s) only.
3. When a program with automatic start at power
up and soft start function are programmed, the
instrument performs the soft start and than the
program function.
4. The auto-tune function will be performed after soft
start function.
5. The Soft start function is available also when ON/
OFF contro l is used.
[72] SSt - Soft start time
Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
Range: oFF Function not used;
0.01... 7.59 hh.mm;
inF Soft start always active.
[73] SS.tH - Threshold for soft start disabling
Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
Range: -1999... 9999 engineering units.
Notes: 1. When the power limiter have a positive value (the
limit is applied to the heating action) the soft start
function will be aborted when the measured value
is greater or equal to SS.tH parameter.
2. When the power limiter have a negative value (the
limit is applied to the cooling action) the soft start
function will be aborted when the measured value
is lower or equal to SS.tH parameter.
]SP Group - Set point parameters
The SP group will be available only when at least one output
is programmed as control output (H.rEG or C.rEG).
[74] nSP - Number of used set points
Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
Range: 1... 4.
Note: When you change the value of this parameter, the
instrument operates as follows:
• [81] A.SP parameter will be forced to SP.
• The instrument verifies that all used set point are
within the limits programmed by [76] SPLL end [77]
SPHL. If an SP is out of this range, the instrument
forces it to the maximum acceptable value.
[75] SPLL - Minimum set point value
Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
Range: From -1999 to [76] SPHL engineering units.
Notes: 1. When you change the [75] SPLL value, the
instrument checks all local set points (SP, SP2,
SP3 and SP4 parameters) and all the program set
points ([95] Pr.S1, [100] Pr.S2, [105] Pr.S3, [110]
Pr.S4 parameters). If an SP is out of this range, the
instrument forces it to the max. acceptable value.
2. A [75] SPLL change produces the following actions:
• When [82] SP.rt = SP the remote set point will
be forced to be equal to the active set point;
• When [82] SP.rt = trim the remote set point
will be forced to zero;
• When [82] SP.rt = PErc the remote set point
will be forced to zero.
[76] SPHL - Maximum set point value
Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
Range: From [75] SPLL to 9999 engineering units.
Note: For other details see [75] SPLL parameter.

Ascon Tecnologic - K_5P SERIES Line - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 20
[77] SP - Set Point 1
Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
Range: From [75] SPLL to [76] SPHL engineering units.
[78] SP 2 - Set Point 2
Available: When at least one output is programmed as con-
trol output and [74] nSP > 2.
Range: From [75] SPLL to [76] SPHL engineering units.
[79] SP 3 - Set Point 3
Available: When at least one output is programmed as con-
trol output and [74] nSP > 3.
Range: From [75] SPLL to [76] SPHL engineering units.
[80] SP 4 - Set Point 4
Available: When at least one output is programmed as con-
trol output and [74] nSP =4.
Range: From [75] SPLL to [76] SPHL engineering units.
[81] A.SP - Selection of the active Set point
Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
Range: From “SP” to [74] nSP.
Notes: 1. A [81] A.SP change produces the following actions:
• When [82] SP.rt = SP - the remote set point
will be forced to be equal to the active set point;
• When [82] SP.rt = trin - the remote set point
will be forced to zero;
• When [82] SP.rt = PErc - the remote set
point will be forced to zero.
2. SP2, SP3 and SP4 selection will be shown
only when the relative set point is enabled (see
[74] nSP parameter).
[82] SP.rt - Remote set point type
These instruments will communicate with each other, using
RS 485 serial interface without a PC. An instrument can be
set as a Master while the other are Slave units. The Master
unit can send his operative set point to the slave units. In this
way, for example, it is possible to change simultaneously the
set point of 20 instruments by changing the set point of the
master unit (e.g. hot runner application).
[82] SP.rt parameter defines how the slaves units must use
the value coming from serial link. Parameter [100] tr.SP
(selection of the value to be retransmitted (Master)]
parameter allows to define the value sent by master unit.
Available: When at least one output is e programmed as
control output and the serial interface is present.
Range: rSP The value coming from serial link is used
as remote set point (RSP);
trin The value coming from serial link will be
algebraically added to the local set point
selected by A.SP and the sum becomes
the operative set point;
PErc The value coming from serial will be scaled
on the input range and this value will be
used as remote set point.
Note: A [82] SPrt change produces the following actions:
• When [82] SP.rt = rSP - the remote set point will
be forced to be equal to the active set point;
• When [82] SP.rt = trin - the remote set point
will be forced to zero;
• When [82] SP.rt = PErc - the remote set
point will be forced to zero.
Example: A 6 zone reflow-oven for PCB.
The master unit sends its set point value to 5 other zones
(slave controllers).
The Slave zones use it as a set point trim.
The first zone is the master zone and it uses a set point
equal to 210°C.
The second zone has a local set point equal to -45°C.
The third zone has a local set point equal to -45 (°C).
The fourth zone has a local set point equal to -30.
The fifth zone has a local set point equal to +40.
The sixth zone has a local set point equal to +50.
In this way, the thermal profile will be the following:
–Master SP = 210°C;
–Second zone SP = 210 -45 = 165°C;
–Third zone SP = 210 -45 = 165°C;
–Fourth zone SP = 210 - 30 = 180°C;
–Fifth zone SP = 210 + 40 = 250°C;
–Sixth zone SP = 210 + 50 = 260°C.
Changing the SP of the master unit, all the other slave units
will immediately change their operative set point.

Available: When at least one output is programmed as
control output.
