Chapter 3. INSTALLATION ■ Mounting procedures • The mounting must be horizontal within 10 degrees tilted in back side lowering or within 10 degrees tilted in back side rising. • In the case of panel mount type (C15T), the mounting panel should be used with a thickness of less than 9 mm of firm board.
Page 30
Chapter 3. INSTALLATION ● Using the hard cover for panel mount type (C15T) For panel mounting type, it is possible to attach the hard cover to the front console. Use of hard cover makes it possible to prevent the settings from being changed due to accidental operation or to operate the unit in poor installation environment.
Page 31
Chapter 3. INSTALLATION ● Using the soft cover for panel mount type (C15T) For the panel mounting type, it is possible to attach the soft cover to the front console. The key can be operated with the soft cover attached. Attaching the soft cover to the front console provides the protection (IP66) similar to the waterproof mounting using the gasket.

Chapter 8. PID CONTROL TUNING CAUTION This unit incorporates the self-tuning function without use of control constant settings in addition to the ON/OFF control and conventional PID control. This self-tuning control monitors and studies the characteristics of the control subject even if the SP value is changed or external disturbance occurs in order to automatically calculate the control constants.

Chapter 8. PID CONTROL TUNING ● Operation during execution of AT Insufficient stability Stable cycle Time AT start Normal end The AT function calculates the PID constants using the limit cycle. (1) When the AT function is started, a point, where the SP and PV deviations are split to “2:1”, is determined as ON/OFF change point of the MV (manipulated variable).
