<strong>2704</strong> Controller Programmer Operation<br />

6.4. PROGRAMMER TYPES<br />

The programmer can be configured as Time to Target or Ramp Rate. A time to target<br />

programmer requires fewer settings <strong>and</strong> is simple to use since all segments are the same. A<br />

time to target programmer can, in general contain more segments than a ramp rate.<br />

6.4.1. Time To Target Programmer<br />

Each segment consists of a single duration parameter <strong>and</strong> a set of target values for the<br />

profiled variables.<br />

1. The duration specifies the time that the segment takes to change the profiled variables<br />

from their current values to the new targets.<br />

2. A dwell type segment is set up by leaving the target setpoint at the previous value.<br />

3. A Step type segment is set up by setting the segment time to zero.<br />

6.4.2. Ramp Rate Programmer<br />

Each segment can be specified by the operator as Ramp Rate, Dwell or Step.<br />

1. Each profiled setpoint must complete its segment before the programmer will move to the<br />

next segment. If one ramp reaches its target setpoint ahead of the other variables, it will<br />

dwell at that value until the other variables have completed. The program will then move<br />

to the next segment.<br />

2. The duration parameter for a segment is read only. In this case the dwell period can be<br />

changed when the program is in Hold..<br />

3. The duration is determined by the longest profile setting.<br />

6.4.3. Segment Types<br />

A segment type can be defined as Profile, Go Back or End.<br />

6.4.3.1. Profile<br />

A profile segment may be set as:-<br />

Ramp<br />

Dwell<br />

Step<br />

The setpoint ramps linearly, from its current value to a new<br />

value, either at a set rate (called ramp-rate programming), or in a<br />

set time (called time-to-target programming). You must specify<br />

the ramp rate or the ramp time, <strong>and</strong> the target setpoint, when<br />

creating or modifying a program.<br />

The setpoint remains constant for a specified period at the<br />

specified target. When creating programs the target is inherited<br />

from the previous segment. When editing an existing program it<br />

is necessary to re-enter the target value. This allows the dwell<br />

target to be matched to a go-back segment.<br />

The setpoint steps instantaneously from its current value to a<br />

new value at the beginning of a segment.<br />
