Operation as a Fast ON/OFF Controller or Supervisory Monitor
With the optional dual solid state relay output option, which has a typical response time of only 17 ms, Laureate temperature meters and transmitters can serve as extremely fast and accurate ON/OFF controllers for closed-loop temperature control. They can also serve as supervisory process monitors and provide alarms or shutoffs when processes exceed normal limits. Temperature controller operation of Laureate temperature meters and transmitters
Multiple setpoint operating modes are individually selectable for each relay, as explained in the dual-setpoint controller page. Relay duty cycles and chatter can be minimized with programmable hysteresis and time delays. A band deviation operating mode can be selected for each relay, where an alarm is generated whenever the reading is a selected number of counts above or below the setpoint. The relay modes have to be non-latching, since 4-20 mA temperature transmitters do not offer external reset.
