This corrects the input value from the sensor. When a sensor cannot be set at the exact location where control
is desired, the sensor measured temperature may deviate from the temperature in the controlled location.
When controlling with plural controllers, sometimes the measured temperatures do not concur due todifferences in sensor accuracy or dispersion of load capacities. In such a case, the control can be set atthe desired temperature by adjusting the input value of sensors.
However, it is effective within the input rated range regardless of the sensor correction value.
PV after sensor correction= Current PV+ (Sensor correction value)
Loop break alarm
The alarm will be activated when the process variable (PV) does not rise as much as the span or more
within the time it takes to assess the loop break alarm after the manipulated variable has reached 100%or the output high limit value.
The alarm will also be activated when the process variable (PV) does not fall as much as the span ormore within the time it takes to assess the loop break alarm after the manipulated variable has reached
0% or the output low limit value.
When the control action is Direct (Cooling), read “fall” for “rise” and vice versa.
Energized/De-energized
When the alarm action Energized is selected, event output (between terminals 11 and 12) is conducted(ON) while the event output indicator is lit. Event output is not conducted (OFF) while the event output
indicator is not lit.
When the alarm action De-energized is selected, event output (between terminals 11 and 12) is notconducted (OFF) while the event output indicator is lit. Event output is conducted (ON) while the event
output indicator is not lit.

7. Other functions
7.1 Input burnout[Overscale]
When the thermocouple or RTD is burnt out, or if the input value exceeds the [Input range high limit
value + 50 (100 )] or more, the control output (OUT) is turned off (for DC current output type, OUT
low limit value), and [] flashes on the PV/SV display.
However, when the input range high limit value is 999.9, if the input value exceeds 999.9, []flashes on the PV/SV display, and the control is performed until [999.9 + 1% of input span].
[Underscale]
For thermocouple input, if the input value drops to -50 (-100 ) or less, the control output (OUT) is
turned off (for DC current output type, OUT low limit value), and [] flashes on the PV/SV display.
For RTD input, if the input value drops to [Input range low limit value - 1% of input span] or less,the control output (OUT) is turned off, and [] flashes on the PV/SV display.
However, when the Input range low limit value is -199.9, if the input value drops below -199.9,[] flashes on the PV/SV display, and the control is performed until [-199.9 - 1% of input span].
Even in SV display mode, the indication of overscale [] and underscale [] have priority
over all displays.
7.2 Self-diagnostic function
The CPU is monitored by a watchdog timer, and when an abnormal status is found on the CPU,the controller is switched to warm-up status.
7.3 Automatic cold junction temperature compensation (thermocouple input type)This detects the temperature at the connecting terminal between the thermocouple and the instrument,
and always maintains at the same status as if the reference junction is located at 0 (32 ).

In order to set each value of P, I, D and ARW automatically, the auto-tuning process should be madeto fluctuate to obtain an optimal value. One of 3 types of fluctuation below is automatically selected.
Note: Sometimes the auto-tuning process will not fluctuate if auto-tuning is performed at or nearroom temperature. Therefore auto-tuning might not finish normally.
(A) In the case of a large difference between the SV (desired value) and PV (process variable) as
the temperature is rising
When AT bias is set to 20 , the AT process will fluctuate at the temperature 20 lower than the SV.
