Introduction INTRODUCTION The CN9400 is a 1/16 DIN dual display , dual output miniature controller with PID control strategy . Control can be optimised with a single shot autotune either on initial warm-up or at setpoint. The second setpoint can be configured in a variety of alarm modes or PID Heat-Cool strategy . A programmer offers a single ramp [...]

Overview OVER VIEW INST ALLA TION The Model CN9400 controller is designed to be mounted in a 1/16 DIN panel cut-out. See the INST ALLA TION section. SET -UP After installation the controller requires programming with the following information: T ype of Input Sensor Operating unit (C or F etc) T ype of Output Device T emperature Setpoint Note: The c[...]

Overview CYCLE-TIME The choice of cycle-time is influenced by the external switching device or load. e.g. contactor , SSR, Valve. A setting that is too long for the process will cause oscillation and a setting that is too short will cause unnecessary wear to an electro-mechanical switching device. Cycle-time selection methods The following methods [...]

Set-up SET -UP 5 This section details the four step initial configuration that enables control with factory PID settings to start, once the setpoint has been entered. POWER-UP On power -up the controller will display the self test sequence and brief display blanking 1 SELECT INPUT SENSOR Press and hold ✱ and use either the ▲ or ▼ buttons to s[...]

Autotune AUTOTUNE Select the most appropriate method of Autotune , T une or T une at Setpoint, to suit the application. Note: The proportional cycle-time can be pre-selected before starting Autotune, see PROPORTIONAL CYCLE-TIME . The TUNE program should be run with the load cool. The output is cycled at 75% of the setpoint value to avoid any oversh[...]

Autotune The TUNE A T SETPOINT program will now start. The upper display will alternate tune and the process temperature. The lower display will read the setpoint value. Note: During tuning the main setpoint (SP1) LED will flash. When the TUNE A T SETPOINT program is complete the upper alternating display stops and only the process temperature is d[...]

Proportional cycle-time The choice of cycle-time is influenced by the external switching device or load. eg. contactor , SSR, valve. A setting that is too long for the process will cause oscillation and a setting that is too short will cause unnecessary wear to an electro-mechanical switching device. CYCLE-TIME SELECTION METHODS The following metho[...]

If this cycle-time is suitable press and hold both ▲ and ▼ buttons for 3 seconds to enter it into the controllers memory . If the calculated cycle-time is not compatible with the switching device press and hold the ✱ button then press and hold ▲ or ▼ until a more suitable cycle-time is displayed. Release the buttons, then press and hold b[...]

Programmer RAMP-SOAK This feature enables the controller to ramp up or down from current temperature to a target setpoint at a pre-determined rate. It then controls at the target setpoint for an adjustable soak period before switching off the heat output. Set Ramp rate ( 0 to 9995 deg/hour) Press ▲ and ▼ buttons for 3 seconds to enter program e[...]

The second setpoint SP2 can be used to trigger an alarm or as a proportional control output. TO CONFIGURE SP2 AS AN ALARM Enter program mode. Select level 2 then followed by the required option below: dV .hi sets off alarm signal when temperature rises above a pre-set temperature above the setpoint. dV .Lo sets off alarm signal when temperature fal[...]
