1) Hardware:
1.1) Factory settings:
The Gefran 600-R-R(D)-0-0-1 is factory set for PID heating, direct absolute alarm, input type "J" and access to the "EASY" programming menu
(Protection level "0").
The main control output is mapped to "Out2" (terminals 19 & 20). This is noteworthy as one would intuitively consider OUT1 to be the main output. This
implies that one changes the cycle time of the main control output by adjusting Ct.2 in the Out menu.
The Alarm output is mapped to Out1 (terminals 21 & 22).
1.2) Transmitter supply / Pt100: Inside the controller are jumper settings to connect either the third wire input for Pt100 or the internal +24V(10V)
transmitter voltage to terminal no. 3
Note: the factory setting of the jumper is for Pt100 input. You need to change the jumper setting to enable the +24V output on terminal no. 3 (see sketch
on hardware).
The internal transmitter supply is common negative (internally linked to negative sensor input on terminal no. 2). The positive output is connected to
terminal 3 via the jumper (see above).
1.3) Transmitter supply voltage: inside the controller is a solder link to select the transmitter output voltage (24, 15, 10, 5, 1.23VDC). Factory setting is
24VDC (small track on PCB needs to be cut when changing to other voltage). (see sketch on hardware).
1.4) Digital input: On models 600(I)-R-?-N-?-? the digital input is NOT isolated. It is common negative (terminal 6 and terminal 2). To activate the input
you need to apply 24VDC to the digital input (terminals 5 and 6). Alternatively you can enable the internal 24V transmitter supply (jumper setting, see
above) and use a dry contact between terminals no. 3 and no. 5
1.5) Outputs: Type 600 controllers have up to 4 outputs, depending on the model. Each output can be mapped via software to perform one or more
functions. It is for example possible to assign a combination of alarms to one output relay. It is also possible to assign the main control function to any of
the outputs. If for example the relay contact on output 2 (factory setting for main control output) is damaged, you can by software change the main
control function to output 1.
Factory setting: output 1 is mapped to alarm 1 and output 2 is mapped to main control (heating).
1.6) Analog output: Type 600-R-?-C-?-? and 600-R-?-W-?-? have a small PC-board attached to the CPU board. There is a jumper setting on this board
: with the jumper in place (factory default) the output is set to 0(2)-10V. When the jumper is removed the output is 0(4) to 20mA.

5 • PROGRAMMING and CONFIGURATION
On the 600-R-?-C-?-? the analog output can only be used for control purposes.
The 600-R-?-W-?-? can be configured for analog control or for analog retransmission.
Change from 0-20 (0-10V) to 4-20mA (2-10V): This is a software setting. In the "Out" menu set rL.3=64 heat) or 65 (cool) for control purposes. For
retransmission go into the "U.CAL" menu, function 1. Connect a mA (V) meter to the analog output and adjust the value (4mA or 2V) with the UP
and DOWN arrow keys. The factory default setting is 0--20 mA.

2) Configuration menus:
2.1) Description of menus:
The programming of the 600 controller is divided into 10 menus:
INF: the information menu contains general information (software version etc.)
CFG: the configuration menu contains all parameters affecting the control behavior (enabling of self-/autotune, PID parameters, hysteresis, softstart
time, loop break power etc.)
Ser: The serial communication menu only applies to controllers with serial communication. It allows selection of addresses, protocol, baud rate,
Parity checking etc.
InP: the input menu contains selection of input type, the input range, filters, and limits for setpoints.
Out: the output menu allows selection of reference signals for the various alarms, alarm types, heater-and sensor failure functions, mapping of
control output and alarms to the four output ports, setting of the cycle time for all PID outputs, assignment of the reference signal for the analog
output.
PAS: the following menus (7-9) are password protected. Entering a password of "99" allows access to these menus:
Pro: the protection menu allows tamper proofing and restriction of access to the various menus and settings.
Hrd: the hardware configuration menu allows enabling of control via serial comms, selection of control type (PID heat, heat-cool…), the alarm types,
function of the three LED's (L1---L3) , the "Auto/Manual" key, the digital input, function of the lower display…
Lin: Custom linearization for the main input can be performed in 35 steps.
U.CA: User calibration allows precision calibration of inputs and analog outputs.
2.2) Getting into the various menus:
Press and hold the "F" key on the controller down: The menus INF, CFG, Ser, InP, OuT, PASS and LEVEL 1(main menu displaying temperature and
setpoint) will appear in succession.
Release the function key whenever the desired menu is displayed.
Press the button briefly to get to the first parameter in the selected menu. The parameter type is indicated in the top display, the value is shown in the
bottom display.
Use the up/down arrow keys to change the parameter value.
Press the function key briefly to accept the parameter value and to move on to the next parameter.
Press and hold the "F" key down to move to other menus.
Note: It is possible that some menus do not appear while holding the function key down. This is because the protection level is preventing access to
these menus. Refer to step 3.2)
Password protected menus:
Press and hold the "F" key on the controller down to get to "PAS". Release the F-key and enter the password: 99
To get into the Pro menu, press the F-key briefly.
To get into any subsequent menu (Hrd, Lin, U.CAL) press and hold the "F" key on the controller down to get to "PAS". Release the F-key and enter
the password: 99
Now press and hold the function key down until the desired menu is displayed. Release the function key, then press the function key briefly to get to
the first parameter in the menu.
3) Setting up the controller:
When setting up a controller it is advisable to work through the menus in the following sequence:
PAS (password=99)-Pro (enable access to menus), PAS (password=99)-Hrd, InP, Out and then CFG.
The reason is that by selecting options in a menu, some parameters in another menu become superfluous and are thus skipped, making setting-up
easier.
(e.g. in ON/OFF control the h.It and h.dt parameters are skipped)
3.1) "Pro" protection (barring access to settings):
The protection menu allows tamper proofing by restricting access to the various menus and settings. After configuring and tuning the controller we
recommend setting Pro=12, thus protecting the setup, only allowing access to the control setpoint and the alarm setpoints.
Pro=0 (factory default) allows access to the "Easy" Programming menu, which contains only
the most commonly used set-up parameters.
Pro=128 enables full access to all parameters.
Pro=12 allows access to the control setpoint and alarm setpoint, blocking access to all other
menus.
Pro=13 will prevent changing of alarm setpoints.
Pro=14 will also prevent changes to the control setpoint.
• Configuration Menus
"Easy" configuration:
(only applies to 600-R-R(D)-0-0-1 units)
The "EASY" configuration is an abbreviated version, containing only the most commonly used parameters. It is enabled by setting the protection

Now press and hold the "F" key until you get to the Hrd menu.
Press the "F" key briefly to move from one parameter within the menu to the next.
Use the up/down arrow keys to change the parameter value.
"hd.1" This can be used to select one or a combination of the following functions: Multiset (having 2 setpoints), Reversed LED state, or instrument
control by serial communication.
"Ctr" This sets the control type. Usually Ctr=6 (PID heating) or Ctr=7 (PID cooling).
For combined heat/cool applications Ctr=12 (PID heat + ON/OFF cool, typical
for extruders with air cooling) or Ctr=14 (advanced PID heat + PID cool) is useful.
See note 10
"AL.n" Use this function to select the combination of alarms you wish to enable.
See note 13
"but." Use this to program the function of the Manual/Auto key on the faceplate.
(but.=5 to switch between setpoints; but.=6 to start/stop self-tuning; but.=7 to start/stop
auto-tuning)
"diG" this parameter defines the function of the digital input. The digital input serves a
function similar to the M/A button, but is operated via remote switch.
(only applies to models 600-R-?-N-?-?)
"dSP" defines the value to be indicated in the lower display. Usually dSP=0, i.e. the lower
display indicates the control setpoint.
See note 17
"Ld.1" This sets the function of LED 1. (4 to indicate self-tuning status; 5 to indicate auto-
tuning status; 9 to indicate softstart running; 10 to indicate status of multisetpoint. Add
16 to any one of these codes to make LED flash if the associated function is active.)
"Ld.2" This sets the function of LED 2.
"Ld.3" This sets the function of LED 3.
See note 17
press and hold the "F" key down until you get to the InP menu, then release the "F" key.
Press the "F" key briefly to move from one parameter within the menu to the next.
Use the up/down arrow keys to change the parameter value.
"SP.r" (only applies to models with serial communication) defines if the remote setpoint is
absolute or relative to the local setpoint.
"tyP." Selects the sensor input type: 0=J, 2=K, 30=Pt100 (see table)
For scaling of analog inputs (e.g. 0-10V, 4-20mA…) refer to note 9
"FLt" This sets the filtering of the input signal. While the filter reduces the effect of interference
on the sensor wiring, it also delays the response time, thus affecting the control
performance. On very fast processes (hotrunner nozzles, air heating) set FLt=0.1
On slow processes set FLt=0.5 (default)
"FLd" This filter stabilizes the display when the input variable fluctuates rapidly. It does not
affect control behavior. (Fld=0.5 factory setting)
"dP.S" Enter the number of decimal points required. (0=no decimal point, 1=one decimal
point). For J, K and Pt100 sensors not more than one decimal point are possible).
NB: See note 8
"Lo.S" this is the minimum sensor input scale. Leave the setting at 0 (0.0) for J or K sensors
and set to -200 (199.9) for Pt100 sensors. On analog input types (e.g. 0-10V, 4-
20mA…) this defines the minimum value of the input scale.
"Hi.S" this is the maximum sensor input scale. Set to 1000 (999.9) for J sensor, set to 1300
(999.9) for K sensor and set to 850 (850.0) for Pt100 sensors. On analog input types
(e.g. 0-10V, 4-20mA…) this defines the maximum value of the input scale.
See note 9
"oFS." Allows offset correction of the main input. It is normally set to "0".
"FT.2" Sets the filtering of the auxiliary Input signal (applies only to 600-R-?-H-?)
"LS.2" this is the minimum auxiliary input scale (applies only to 600-R-?-H-?)
"HS.2" this is the maximum auxiliary input scale (applies only to 600-R-?-H-?)
"oF.2" Allows offset correction of the auxiliary input. It is normally set to "0"
"Lo.L" this is the lower limit for the control and alarm setpoints. It prevents operators from setting the setpoints below this limit.
"Hi.L" this is the upper limit for the control and alarm setpoints. It prevents operators from
setting the setpoints above this limit.
NB: See note 9

"A2.r" same function as Al.r above but applies to Alarm 2.
"A3.r" same function as Al.r above but applies to Alarm 3.
See note 13
"Al.t" Selects the alarm function for alarm 1.
"A2.t" Selects the alarm function for alarm 2.
"A3.t" Selects the alarm function for alarm 3.
See note 17
"Hb.F" defines the Heater Break function. See note 15
"rL.1" sets the function of out1 (terminals 21 + 22). Normally rL.1=2 resulting in this output being mapped to Alarm1. For combined Heat/Cool operation
this output is usually set for cooling (rL.1=1)
"rL.2" sets the function of out2 (terminals 19 + 20). Normally rL.2=0, (main output for heating)
"rL.3" sets the function of out3 (terminals 5 + 6). It only applies to units with a third output.
For controllers with analog control output (600-R-?-C---) this is set as the main output
For Heating (rL.3=0)
"rL.4" sets the function of out4 (terminals 11 + 12). It only applies to units with a fourth output.
See note 13
"Ct.1" sets the cycle time for output 1 (cooling output for Heat/cool).
"Ct.2" sets the cycle time for output 2 (main or heating output).
"Ct.3" sets the cycle time for output 3 (main or heating output).
"Ct.4" sets the cycle time for output 4 (main or heating output).
The above parameters only apply to PID control with relay or logic outputs.
Set Ct.=1 If the control output switches a solidstate relay (controller type 600-R-D-0-0-1).
Set Ct.=20 if the control output switches a contactor or relay (controller type 600-R-R-0-0-1).
Setting a shorter cycle time can adversely affect the life span of the contactor.
NB: See note 20
"rEL" sets the state to which the various alarms should revert when a sensor fault occurs.
"An.o" This applies only to units with analog retransmission (600-R?W-) and assigns the
variable to be transmitted. Apart from the input variable you can also retransmit
deviation from setpoint (An.o=4). This is useful to influence other variables in the process.
(e.g. to reduce conveyor speed when the oven temperature drops below the set value. Use the retransmission output) to feed into the variable speed
drive or PLC).
Setpoints can also be retransmitted, for example where one controller provides the master setpoint for various slave units.
"L.An" sets the minimum limit ("zero") of the retransmission signal.
"H.An" sets the maximum limit ("span") of the retransmission signal
This applies only to units with analog retransmission (600-R?W-)

Press the "F" key briefly to move from one parameter within the menu to the next
"S.tu" This enables self-tuning, auto-tuning and softstart.
See note 18
"h.Pb" Sets the proportional band for the main control output. The value is a % of the input
range (Hi.S - Lo.S,) in the InP menu.
e.g. for Type "J" sensors h.Pb =4 equals 40°C (4% of 1000°C)
"h.It" Sets the integral time for the main control output. The time is set in minutes.
"h.dt" Sets the derivative time for the main control output. The time is set in minutes. (this
parameter should not exceed ¼ of the h.It parameter)
See note 18
"hP.H" limits the maximum heating power. Normally this parameter remains set to 100 %.
The parameter can be reduced if elements are rated too high for the application. This
reduces overshoot and also stress due to thermal expansion in the heat-up phase.
"hP.L" limits the minimum heating power. Normally this parameter remains set to 0 %.
"C.ME" only applies to PID heat/PID cool control (Ctr=14 in Hrd menu). By selecting the
relevant cooling medium the PID parameters for cooling are automatically set.
"c.SP" sets the deadband between heating and cooling (only applies to heat / cool control
functions). Because the controller prevents overlap between heating and cooling outputs, the deadband can be set very narrow (c.SP=2---5).
"c.Pb" Sets the proportional band for the cooling control output. The value is a % of the input
range (Hi.S - Lo.S,) in the InP menu.
"c.It" Sets the integral time for the cooling control output. The time is set in minutes.
"c.dt" Sets the derivative time for the main control output. The time is set in minutes. (this

See note 18
"cP.H" limits the maximum cooling power. Normally this parameter remains set to 100 %.
"cP.L" limits the minimum cooling power. Normally this parameter remains set to 0 %.
"rSt" Manual reset shifts the proportional band manually by a fixed amount (scale points -999
to 999), in order to remove a steady error. This function only applies to PID control. Normally rSt=0
See note 18
"P,rS" Power reset shifts the proportional band up and down about the set point by a
percentage of the proportional band (0-100%). Normally P.rs=0
At 0% the proportional band is entirely below the set point.
At 50% the proportional band is centered about the set point.
At 100% the proportional band is entirely above the set point.
This function only applies to PID control.
See note 19
"A.rS" Anti reset reduces the window (scale points 0-9999) within the proportional band where
integral action is active. (Normally integral action is active as soon as the process
variable enters the proportional band). Outside this window integral action is
deactivated. Normally A.rs=0
See note 19
"FFd" Feed forward adds a calculated proportion to the output power, and thus effectively
shifts the proportional band (0-100%) up. Normally A.rs=0
See note 19
"SoF" Soft-start time is in the range 0.0 to 99.9 minutes. The soft-start action terminates when
the set time has expired or when the controlled variable enters the Proportional Band.
This function is an alternative to self-tuning and if programmed it is activated each time
the instrument is powered up.
"Hy.1" sets the hysteresis for the Alarm output (output 1) and is a % of the input range. It
should normally remain set at 0.1 Use the up/down arrow keys to change this
parameter. Setting it to 100 means the alarm will latch. Alternatively hy.1 parameter
sets the time delay before the alarm trips if the alarm type (Ai.t parameter) in the Out
menu is set to n+32 or n+64.
"Hy.2" sets the hysteresis for output 2 and is a % of the input range.
"Hy.3" sets the hysteresis for output 3 and is a % of the input range.
"Hb.t" sets the the waiting period for the heater break alarm (only applies to 600-R-?-H---)
"Lb.t" sets the the waiting period for the loop break alarm. (Lb.t=0 to disable)
"Lb.P" sets the default % output power under loop break conditions.
See note 14&15
"FA.P" sets the default % output power under sensor fault conditions.
See note 14
"G.SP" sets the ramping gradient.

• Standard Sensor
8 • DECIMAL POINT
9 • INPUTS (SCALE, TYPE)
When changing the decimal point the parameters Lo.S, Hi.S, oFS, Lo.L and Hi.L are affected and also the control and alarm setpoints! Make
sure to check and adjust all these parameters after changing the decimal point.
For example changing the decimal point from 0 to 1 will change Hi.S from 1000 to 100.0. As a result the unit will register a sensor fault if the
temperature exceeds 100°C. Set the HI.S parameter to 999.9 to rectify this.
10 • CONTROL MODE
The control type is determined by the Ctr parameter in the Hrd menu.
Most commonly used setups are:
Ctr=6 PID heating (factory default setting)
Ctr=9 ON / OFF heating (the h.Pb parameter in the CFG menu sets the hysteresis, normal setting: h.Pb=0.1)
Ctr=10 ON / OFF cooling (the c.Pb parameter in the CFG menu sets the hysteresis, normal
setting: c.Pb=-0.1)
Ctr=12 PID heating, ON/OFF cooling (c.Pb sets hysteresis, same as above): This control
mode is ideally suited for extruders with air cooling using fans. In this mode the
controller prevents overlap of the heating and cooling output.
The deadband (temperature band between heating and cooling) is set by adjusting c.SP in the CFG menu. Because overlapping of heating
and cooling is prevented by the controller, it is possible to set the deadband very small ( e.g. c.SP=0.2), thus achieving very accurate control.
This control mode is preferable to normal PID heating (Ctr=6) using the alarm function for cooling. Normal PID heating with Alarm usually
necessitates a large deadband (5-10°C) to prevent overlapping of the heat / cool operations.
Please note: you have to enable the cooling output (Out1) by setting rL.1=1 in the Out menu.
Also check that the heating output is enabled by rL.2=0 (alternatively rL.3=0 for analog control).
You also have to set the deadband c.SP in the CFG menu.
Ctr=12 PID heating, PID cooling: This control mode is ideally suited for applications where the
cooling medium (air, water, oil) is controlled via a solenoid valve or motorized valve.
The deadband (temperature band between heating and cooling) is set by adjusting
c.SP (e.g. c.SP=0.2) in the CFG menu.
The PID parameters for the cooling function are automatically set by entering the
relevant cooling medium in C.ME in the CFG menu (e.g. C.ME=2 for water cooling).
Check the note above regarding enabling of the cooling output.
The input scale is defined by the parameters Lo.S and Hi.s in the CFG menu.
If the temperature falls outside the scale defined by Lo.S and Hi.s, the controller will indicate a sensor fault.
Changing the input scale also affects the proportional band in PID control because h.Pb and c.Pb are a % of the input range.
The Gefran 600 controller allows changing of the sensor scale.
For standard temperature sensors (thermocouples, Pt100…) the Lo.S and Hi.s parameters should normally correspond with the minimum and
maximum temperature scale of the particular sensor, as listed in the input table.
Example: for a type "J" thermocouple Lo.S=0 and Hi.s=1000 .
NB: When a decimal point is selected, these parameters are affected and must be reset. For instance on a sensor input type "K" setting
dP.S=1 in the InP menu will change Lo.S=0 to 0.0 and Hi.s= 1300 (no decimal point) to130.0 (with decimal point) . When the temperature
rises above 130.0°C, the controller will thus indicate a sensor fault. The Hi.S parameter must therefor be reset to Hi.s=999.9 to eliminate this
problem.
• Analog Inputs
For analog inputs (e.g. 4-20mA or 0-10V) Lo.S and Hi.s represent the zero and span of the input signal.
Example: input type is a temperature transmitter 4-20mA and a zero and span of -5-°C and +100°C respectively (4mA representing -50°C
and 20mA representing +100°C).
The correct setting for Lo.S= -50 and Hi.S= +100. If a decimal point is set (dP.S=1) then the correct setting is Lo.S= -50.0 and Hi.S= +100.0
• Custom Inputs (user calibration)
For custom lnputs the calibration (32 step) is performed in the LIN menu. The steps are numbered from 5.00 to 5.32
Example: Custom input tyP.=53 (1-5V), corresponding to a reading of 0 to 150°C
Procedure:
divide the input signal range by 32: (5-1)/32=4/32=0.125 V
enter the corresponding value to be displayed for each step. Since the curve is not linear, look up the matching reading for each input value
on the graph or table for the input device.
step 5.00 (first step): enter value for input signal 1V ( in this case "0")
step 5.01 (second step): enter value for input signal 1.125V
step 5.02 (third step): enter value for input signal 1.250V
… continue through all 32 steps, increasing the input signal by 0.125V per step and entering the corresponding value to be displayed.
step 5.32 (final step): enter value for input signal 5.0V (in this case "150")
Now set the input range in the InP menue as follows: Lo.S=0 and Hi.S=150. This will define when the input signal is out of range.
17

For very fast processes (e.g. air heaters and Infrared heaters) PID control performance is improved by:
-selecting a faster derivative action sampling time. This is achieved by adding 64 to the Ctr parameter in the Hrd menu ( e.g. Ctr=6+64=70).
-reducing the digital input filter action by reducing FLT (e.g. FLt=0.1) in the InP menu.
-selecting the shortest possible cycle time for the control output (e.g. Ct.2=1 in the Out menu)
-using analog output (20mA, 10V) in conjunction with Thyristor drives.

Heating/Cooling control with relative gain
In this control mode (enabled with Ctr = 14 parameter) the type of cooling has to be specified.
Cooling PID parameters are therefore calculated based on heating parameters according to the specified ratio.
(for example: C.ME = 1 (oil), H_Pb = 10, H_dt = 1, H_It = 4 implies: C_Pb = 12,5, C_dt = 1, C_It = 4)
We advise you to apply the following values when setting output cycle times:
Air T Cool Cycle = 10 sec.
Oil T Cool Cycle = 4 sec.
Water T Cool Cycle = 2 sec.
NB.: Cooling parameters cannot be modified in this mode.
Control mode:
The control type is determined by the Ctr parameter in the Hrd menu.
Most commonly used setups are:
Ctr=6 PID heating (factory default setting)
Ctr=9 ON / OFF heating (the h.Pb parameter in the CFG menu sets the hysteresis, normal setting: h.Pb=0.1)
Ctr=10 ON / OFF cooling (the c.Pb parameter in the CFG menu sets the hysteresis, normal
setting: c.Pb=-0.1)
Ctr=12 PID heating, ON/OFF cooling (c.Pb sets hysteresis, same as above): This control
mode is ideally suited for extruders with air cooling using fans. In this mode the
controller prevents overlap of the heating and cooling output.
The deadband (temperature band between heating and cooling) is set by adjusting c.SP in the CFG menu. Because overlapping of heating and cooling
is prevented by the controller, it is possible to set the deadband very small ( e.g. c.SP=0.2), thus achieving very accurate control.
This control mode is preferable to normal PID heating (Ctr=6) using the alarm function for cooling. Normal PID heating with Alarm usually necessitates
a large deadband (5-10°C) to prevent overlapping of the heat / cool operations.
Please note: you have to enable the cooling output (Out1) by setting rL.1=1 in the Out menu.
Also check that the heating output is enabled by rL.2=0 (alternatively rL.3=0 for analog control).
You also have to set the deadband c.SP in the CFG menu.
Ctr=12 PID heating, PID cooling: This control mode is ideally suited for applications where the
cooling medium (air, water, oil) is controlled via a solenoid valve or motorized valve.

The PID parameters for the cooling function are automatically set by entering the
relevant cooling medium in C.ME in the CFG menu (e.g. C.ME=2 for water cooling).
Check the note above regarding enabling of the cooling output.

13 • ALARMS
• Alarm Reference Signals
Enabling Alarms:
Before any alarms can be configured they need to be enabled (see Al.n in the Hrd menu).
If you do not require an alarm function, set AL.n=0. This will remove the prompt for an alarm setpoint in the level1 menu.
For combined heat/cool control two outputs will be occupied. Hence you need a controller with more than two outputs (e.g. 600-R-D-R-0-1) if you want
heat/cool control with alarm.
If you use a controller with only two outputs for heat/cool control (e.g 600-R-R-0-0-1), no spare output for alarm is available, hence the alarm should be
disabled by setting Al.n=0
It is possible to enable up to 3 alarms. In addition the HB alarm (heater break) and the LBA (sensor fault) alarm can be activated.
Alarm outputs:
Each alarm can be assigned to any one of the available outputs (see parameters rL.1-rL.4 in the Out menu).
It is possible to assign more than one alarm to the same output. It is therefor possible to use one output relay to operate if either one ( AL1 or AL2)
alarm condition occurs. Alternatively the condition can be set that both alarms have to be flagged ( AL1 and AL2) before the output relay operates.
Alternatively the same alarm can be assigned to more than one output. For example setting rL.1=2 and rL.3=11 will cause Relay Out1 to operate if
alarm 1 is on and relay Out3 to operate if both alarm1 and alarm2 are on.
This makes alarm functions very versatile and reduces the number of output relays necessary.
Example: Extruder with heat / cool control, a contactor to shut down the machine if a high temperature condition or low temperature condition occurs,
and a relay to start the process when the temperature is at operating temperature.
This would normally necessitate 5 outputs (heat, cool, high alarm, low alarm, symmetrical alarm). On the Gefran 600 this can be achieved with 4
outputs, using the 600-R-D-R-R-1.
The alarm reference signals (usually the process variable) are set by the Al.r-A3. parameters in the Out menu.
There are two variables that can cause alarms to trigger:
Firstly you can cause an alarm in response to a change in the process variable PV ( e.g high temperature condition, low temperature condition etc.)
You can also cause an alarm if the control setpoint is set to excessive levels.
The reference setpoint for an alarm can either be absolute or relative to the main setpoint (see next section)
·Al.r=0 ( normal setting) means the alarm will react if the main input signal is higher (lower) than the AL.1 setpoint
·Al.r=1 means the alarm will react if the main (active) setpoint is set higher (lower) than the AL.1 setpoint. (only applies to absolute alarm). This feature
is useful to draw attention if the main setpoint is set to excessive levels by machine operators.
·Al.r=2 is identical to Al.r=0 except that it only applies to relative alarms, referred to the active setpoint in multiset function (special case where a second
control setpoint is introduced via serial communication)
The above also applies to A2.r and A3.r
The alarm types are set by the A1.t-A3.t parameters in the Out menu.
Alarms can be set to be absolute, relative or symmetrical.
·"Direct" alarm means the alarm contact closes when the input variable (eg. Temperature) exceeds the alarm setpoint
·"Inverse" alarm means the alarm contact closes when the input variable drops below the alarm setpoint.
·"Absolute" means the setpoint is independent of the active (control) setpoint.
·"Relative" means the alarm setpoint is relative to the active (control) setpoint

·"symmetrical" means the alarm is active inside / outside a window around the control setpoint. It is used to detect abnormal deviation (positive and
negative) of the input variable from setpoint.
·Alarms can be delayed by adding 32 (delay in seconds)or 64 (delay in minutes) to the selected alarm parameter. The Hy-parameter (Hy.1 -Hy.4 in
CFG menu) becomes the delay time.
Examples:
Al.t=0 means that the alarm relay will close when the temperature exceeds the alarm setpoint ("high temperature alarm")
Al.t=2 and an alarm setpoint AL.1=10 means that the alarm relay will energise when the temperature rises by 10°C above the control setpoint.
Al.t=33 (1+32) and Hy.1=45 means that a low temperature alarm will come on if the low temperature condition has prevailed for 45 seconds

• Alarm Types
The system will indicate a sensor fault whenever the input signal falls outside the range set by Lo.S and Hi.s ( InP menu).
In this condition the main control output power will default to the % set in FA.P (CFG menu).
This is a useful feature, allowing you to finish a production run before attending to a sensor fault. We recommend monitoring the % output
power during normal operation (temporarily set dSP=2 in HrD menu) and then entering this value as the FA.P parameter.
Alternatively set FA.P=0 to disable the control output (failsafe mode).
• Sensor Fault
14 • SENSOR FAULT AND LOOP BREAK (LBA) ALARM
LBA loop break alarm:
The LBA alarm is enabled by setting Al.n= (between 16 and 31) in Hrd menu, but can be disabled by setting Lb.t=0 in the CFG menu.
Lb.t sets the waiting time for a LBA alarm. The % output power under fault condition is set by Lb.P in the CFG menu. An alarm output can be
enabled by setting rL.1 (2, 3 or4)=6 in the Out menu. LBA is triggered when the output power is fully on (100%) but the process variable does
not respond. This will typically happen when the heating circuit is defective, a fuse is blown, the thermocouple cable is short circuited or the
sensor is not mounted in position.
Apart from triggering an alarm output, the LBA alarm can be configured to force the control output into a preset % output power when a loop
fault occurs. The idea is to enter an output power at which the process will continue at normal temperature without causing overheating.
NB: Do not set the Lb.t too short to avoid nuisance tripping. Do not set Lb.t too long causing overheating before output power is reduced.
15 • HEAT BREAK ALARM (AUX. INPUT 2)
controllers with input/output 3 option ="H" monitor the load current via a 50mA secondary current transformer (refer to Gefran CT type 330200
and 330201). The load current can be displayed via the bottom SV display (set dSP=1 in Hrd menu). The scaling of the input is achieved by
setting LS.2 (normally LS2=0) and HS.2 in the InP menu.
The heater Break (HB) Alarm is enabled by setting either rL.1 or rL.2 or rL.3 or rL.4=5, 13, 14, 15 or 16 and by setting Hb.F to the appropriate
level (see Out menu).
A.Hb in level 1 menu sets the HB alarm setpoint.
Hb.t in the CFG menu sets the waiting period before a HB alarm is triggered.
16 • MANUAL MODE
The controller can be set into manual mode. This is achieved by setting but.=1 in the Hrd menu. It is also recommended to set either Ld.1,
LD.2 or Ld.3=17 (flashing) in the the Hrd menu, thus getting LED indication if the controller is in manual mode. By operating the
AUTO/MANUAL button on the faceplate the controller will switch from normal control to manual control. The PV display ( bottom display) will
now show the % output power. The power can be adjusted via the UP/DOWN arrow keys.
The controller will return to AUTO mode if the AUTO/MANUAL button is operated again.
HB ALARM FUNCTION
This type of alarm depends on use of the current transformer (C.T.) input.
It can signal variations in load input by identifying the current value in ammeter input in the range (0 ... HS.2). It is enabled by means of
configuration code (AL.n); in this case, the alarm trip value is expressed in HB scale points.
By means of code Hb.F (“Out” phase), select the type of functioning and the assigned control output.
The alarm limit setting is A.Hb.
The direct HB alarm trips when the ammeter input value is below the limit set for Hb.t seconds of the "ON" time for the selected output.
The HB alarm can be activated only with ON times greater than 0.4 seconds (excludes continuous output).
The HB alarm also checks load current during the OFF interval of the cycle time for the selected output. The HB alarm trips if the measured
current exceeds approximately 12.5% of the full scale set for HB.t seconds of OFF status of the output (parameter HS.2 in InP).
The alarm is reset automatically if its cause is eliminated.
Setting limit A.Hb = 0 disables both types of HB alarms, with de-energizing of the assigned relay.
You can display the load current by selecting the item In.2. (level 1).
NOTE: ON/OFF times refer to the cycle time set for the selected output.
Continuous alarm Hb_F = 3 (7) is active for a load current value below the set limit. It is disabled if the heating (cooling) output value is below
3%.
• HOLD function
The input value and alarms are frozen while the logic input is closed.
With logic input closed, a reset turns OFF both the relay outputs and the alarms latch.
