Function Overview
The Ramp and Soak Controller provides the opportunity to control applications needing set-point changes over time. Examples of this are RAMP changes where a gradual rate of temperature change can be set. These can be separated by SOAK periods during which the process is held at a constant value. Each individual time interval in the program or SEGMENT, together with its associated moving setpoint value can be stored as a unique PROGRAM, as represented by the diagram below.

Ramp Rate = Degrees / Time Program start point = From process value Starts all programs from the current temperature reading or process value (upper green LEDs). For example, if the oven is still hot or warm from a recent program cycle or general use, programs started shortly thereafter will ramp starting from whatever temperature the control is presently reading. All sample program ramp rates are set in degrees , per minute SPRU . Also, all program setpoint ramp rates (except programs #9 and #10) are set at 100 degrees (C or F) per minute. This rate of 100 is much faster then the oven can actually achieve but allows the oven to ramp as fast as it can without any time restrictions. (See also HoldBack units)

Program number This is the program number.

Power fail recovery = Reset Program will start from the beginning if power fails and resumes or if the unit is turned off by the power switch and then on again. ( For consecutive batch processing, using the power switch to power off the unit then on again is also the fastest way to restart a program once it's been completed).

HoldBack Units = Varied: 5, 2, 1 HoldBack units tell the control not to advance to the soak segment until the temperature is within the stated holdback units of the target or ramp-to temperature. Ex: If the target temp. is 250 and the holdback is 5 the control will not start the soak segment until process temp is at least 245. This allows quick input of fast ramps rates i.e.100, without attempting to calculate the best ramp rate the oven can achieve without starting premature soak cycle or segment. Also, this variable can be changed to allow for soak cycles to begin at any point prior to target or ramp-to temps being reached (if not critical) to help speed the entire program for batch process applications.

RAMP & SOAK PROGRAM SETTINGS

PROGRAMMING SECTION

Programming a ramp & soak program to fit your individual needs and applications is quick and easy. Basic programming consists of programming "SEGMENTS" which control the RAMP and the SOAK function parameters. [For information re: advanced function programming - eg: linking or looping of programs - see Controller manufacturer's instruction manual] When at: When at: When
SEG TYPE

SEGMENT, choose the segment to program. TYPE, choose the desired function for that segment - ramp
SPR

, soak

SOAK

, etc.

SPR

RAMP is selected, the following prompts will appear:

When at: SPRR SET POINT RAMP RATE, enter the temperature ramp rate (in degrees per minute) to achieve set temperature (preset at 100 deg./min.). When at:
T.SP

TARGET SET POINT, set target ramp temperature desired (whether increase or decrease).

Programming Ramp & Soak Programs cont.

When SOAK SOAK is selected,
SINT

will appear in the program loop.

When at: SINT SOAK INTERVAL, select the amount of time (duration), the controller is programmed to hold the temperature before executing the next function command. Soak time is set in minutes.

Pre-Installed Ramp & Soak Programs

There are 12 sample ramp and soak programs (refer to configurations chart below), that are resident in your controller. These programs allow you to more easily customize programs by changing the temperature and time values within each program rather than entering a complete program from the start. To run any of the pre-installed programs, enter the menu levels by pressing the up & down arrow keys together until the prompt "tune" appears. Toggle "left" (down key once) to the "levl / 1" prompt. Hold the star key then press the down key once to get to the program "levl / P." Toggle "right" (up key) to program number prompt "prog/ 1", select an alternate program by pressing and holding star key and pressing up or down arrow keys. Toggle "right" (up key again) to "run/off" prompt, select "on" by holding star key and then pressing up arrow key once. Return to temperature display by pressing and holding both up/down arrow keys. The control display will now alternate the running program segment with the current process temperature. See control manual menu flow diagram for a better understanding of how to navigate the menu levels from the related display prompts. Once program is finished, the control will prompt with "stop". To return control to standard operational or nonprogram mode, enter menu "levl / P" toggle to "run" prompt and select "off". To restart the same program select "off" and then "on" again.
