- 11. Description of Operation When mounting and wiring are complete unit is ready to turn on. Turn on the power supply. Display will show the current process temperature. Press the selector switch/key, now it will show the set value. By means of set screw, set it to desired value. For EAP series instrument again press the selector switch, process temperature will be on the display. Now if wiring is done in relay energised mode the relay will be in energised state and the LED will be ON. Now process temperature starts increasing, when it crosses the set value the relay will be off, disconnecting external electrical circuit.The relay- on LED will go off. There are only two states that is relay on and relay off . Due to heat mass of the system the temperature will go on rising to a certain value and starts decreasing. When it crosses the value about 2 0 C below the set value, relay again goes on connecting the electrical circuit so that heaters will be on again. The process temperature drops to a certain minimum value due to heat mass and again starts increasing. The cycle goes on continuously. The nature of control is of oscillating type. On--Off Control Action This type of control action is widely used in industrial processes. There are only two states ON state & OFF state and no intermidiate step is there. The controlled temperature cycles around the set point as shown in fig. The maximum temp. above set point is called overshoot while minmum temp. below set point is called undershoot. The degree of overshoot or undershoot depends upon the system characteristics & not upon the controller. It generally depends upon sensor response time, time lag, capacity of heating systems, total heat mass of the systems etc.. When heat mass of system >> than the heat mass of heating system, on-off controller shows good results with minimum Overshoot Setpoint Hysterisis Temperature Undershoot Startup period Time Sensor Placement Proper sensor placement can eliminate many problems in a control systems. The sensor should be placed so that it can detect any temperature change with minimum thermal lag. The sensor tip is the sensing element in the system & must be in direct contact with the process material to provide optimum sensing accuracy. One inch immersion is usually satisfactory for either liquid or solid applications. In a process that requires fairly constant heat output,the sensor should be placed close to the heater . In a process where heat demand is variable, the sensor should be closer to the operating area. Some experimenting with the sensor location is often required to find the optimum location. In a liquid prosess, the use of stirrer will eliminate the thermal lag. As thermocouples are point measuring devices placing more than one sensor in parallel will provide an average temp. reading & produce better results in most processes. Proper sensor type is also a very important factor in obtaining precise measurements. The sensor must have the correct temp. range to meet the process requirements. Standard sensor limits of error are +2 degree celcius plus drift caused by improper protection or an over temp. occurance. This error is far greater than the controller error & can not be corrected at the sensor end except by proper selection & replacement. Cautions As the signals generated by the thermocouples & resistance bulbs are at low levels, complete protection against induction noise of external origin should be provided. 1 ) Place the thermocouple circuit as wide apart as possible from the power supply circuit. Shielding wires are recommended. 2 ) Keep the thermocouples at a distance from strong magnetic fields. 3 ) Extend the compensation conductors to the terminals of the instruments.
