Logic Input
The 7EF/7HF is equipped with a logic input to select between the main and auxiliary setpoint (SP or SP2).

Setpoints
Two setpoints available: - Main Setpoint (SP).
- Auxiliary Setpoint (SP2).
Setpoint Transfer: Transfer between SP and SP2 by logic input (contact closure). Transfer can be either by a step or by a ramp with two different configurable rates of change (ramp up and ramp down).
Setpoint Limits: Setpoint low limit and setpoint high limit are configurable.

Control Action
Algorithm: PID - Smart AT.
Type: One (heating) or two (heating/cooling) control outputs.
Proportional Band: Configurable - From 1.0% to 100.0% of the input span for a process with one control output.
- From 1.5% to 100.0% of the input span for a process with two control outputs.
Setting the PB equal to 0 changes the control action to ON/OFF.
Hysteresis (for ON/OFF control action): Configurable from 0.1% to 10.0% of the input span.
Integral Time: Configurable from 20 seconds to 20 minutes (or off).
Derivative Time: Configurable from 1 second to 10 minutes (or off).
Integral Preload: Configurable: - for 1 control output, from 0 to 100% of the output range.
- for 2 control outputs, from -100% to 100% of the heating/cooling output range.
Out 1 (heating) Cycle Time: From 1 to 200 seconds.

Overlap/Deadband: Keyboard configurable from -20% (deadband) to 50% (overlap) of the PB.
NOTE: By setting the proper cooling medium (air, oil or water) during configuration, the instrument will automatically set the cooling (OUT 2) parameters.

Type: Time Proportioning.
Direct/Reverse Action: Keyboard configurable.
Output Level Indication: Separately display of the Output 1 level (heating) and the Output 2 level (cooling).

- For 2 control outputs: From -100 to 100% of the main (heating) output span.
This function can be made active at instrument startup for a configurable time, and it can be left active in order to avoid thermal shock or preheating.
Relay Outputs Output Cycle Time: Configurable from 1 second to 99 seconds.
Output 1: SPDT contact. The selection of the NO or NC contact is made by jumper.
Contact Rating: 3 Amps at 250 Vac on a resistive load.
Output 2 (Cooling): SPST contact with rated current 2 Amps at 250 Vac on a resistive load.

24 Vdc ±20% @ 1 mA max.
Output Safety Value: When the instrument detects an out of range or a sensor break condition, it can force the output to a configurable safety value.

Output Disable Function
This function disables the control output allowing the instrument to operate as an indicator. When control is resumed, “turn off” is disabled and the instrument will operate as follows: the integral component of the output signal will be set to zero, the soft start function will be enabled, and the alarm masking function will be enabled.

Alarms
This instrument is equipped with two independent outputs configurable as:
- Heating + Alarm 1 + Alarm 2
- Heating + Cooling + Alarm 1
An optional 4 output is available as Alarm 3 or the heater breakdown alarm output.
Output Action: Direct or reverse function configurable.
Alarm Functions: Each alarm can be configured as process alarm, band alarm or deviation alarm.
Alarm Reset: Automatic or manual reset programmable on each alarm.
Alarm Masking: Each alarm can be configured as a masked or standard alarm. Alarm masking allows suppression of alarm indicators at startup and after a setpoint change.
Alarm Indications: Two indicators show when the respective alarm is ON.

Process Alarm Operating Mode: High or low configurable.
