1-2 Bulletin 900-TC32 Input and Output OverviewMain FunctionsThe following introduces the main functions of the Bulletin 900-TC32. Fordetails on each function and how to use the functions, see Chapter 3 andonward.• Input Sensor Types — The following input sensors can be connectedfor temperature input:– Thermocouple: K, J, T, E, L, U, N, R, S, B– Non-contact temperature sensor type: Bulletin ES1A; K (10…70°C),K (60…120°C), K (115…165°C), K (160…260°C)– Platinum resistance thermometer: Pt100, JPt100– Analog input: 0…50 mV• Control Output — Control output is either relay or voltage (SSR)output depending on the model of Bulletin 900-TC32.If you select heating and cooling control on the Bulletin 900-TC32,Alarm 1 output is used for cooling control.• Alarms — Alarms are supported on the Bulletin 900-TC32. Set theAlarm Type and Alarm Value, or upper- and lower-limit alarms.If necessary, a more comprehensive alarm function can be achieved bysetting the Standby Sequence, Alarm Hysteresis, Close in Alarm/Openin Alarm, and Alarm Latch ON/OFF parameters.When the input error output is set to ON, alarm output 1 turns ONwhen an input error occurs.• Control Adjustment — Optimum PID constants can be configuredeasily by AT (auto-tuning) and ST (self-tuning).• Communications Function — Personal computer (PC) RS485communications are supported by the controller ordered with thisoption. Refer to Table 1.A. Note: The PC must have 900Buildersoftware installed.Publication 900-UM003C-EN-E - January 2004
