Table 3. PID and Relevant Parameters:
Symbol Description Range Default Comment
P Proportional Band 0.1 ~ 99.9 (%) 5.0 Note 4
I Integration Time 2 ~ 1999 (Sec) 100 Note 5
D Differentiation Time 0 ~ 399 (Sec) 20 Note 6
SouF Overshoot Suppression 0.0 ~ 1.0 0.2 Note 7

Ot Control Period 2 ~ 199 (Sec) 2 Note 8
Filt Digital Filtering Strength 0~3 0 Note 9

P,I and d parameters control the accuracy and respond time of the temperature controller.
Auto-tuning is recommended for user who does not familiar PID control theory. P, I and d
values should only be adjusted by professionals.

Note 4
Proportional Band (P): When P increases, fluctuation of object being controlled decreases.
When P decreases, fluctuation of object being controlled increases. When P value is too
small, system may become non-converge.
Note 5
Integration time (I): its purpose is to reduce static error. When I decrease, respond speed is
faster but system is less stable. When I increase, respond speed is slower, but system is
more stable.

Note 6
Differentiation time (d): its purpose is to control in advance and compensate delay. Setting
d-value too small or too large would decrease system stability, oscillation or even non-
converge.

Note 7

Overshoot suppression coefficient. When overshoot exists, increase SouF. When

undershoot exists, decrease SouF.

Note 8
Control Period (ot): When ot gets smaller, heating/cooling cycle is drived faster, system
respond speed is faster. But when using contact control (Relays), contacts wear out faster.
When contact control (Relay) is used, normally set ot=5~15.
When non-contact control (SSR) is used, normally set ot=2.
Note 9
Digital Filtering (Filt): Filt=0, filter disabled; Filt=1, weak filtering effect; Filt=3,
strongest filtering effect; Stronger the filtering, more stable the readout, but has more
readout display delay.

c) To enter temperature and alarm parameter setting mode press (SET), then enter code
“0001”, press (SET) again.

5. Auto-Tuning
By simply press a single button the built-in artificial intelligent is activated to automatically
calculate and set parameters (P, I, D, SouF, ot) that fit the condition to be controlled.

a) How to Start and stop auto-tuning process:
i. To activate auto-tuning, press and hold (>) until “AT” indicator blinks, which indicates auto-
tuning is in progress. When auto-tuning finish, “AT” indicator is off. Now newly calculated
PID parameters are remembered and start to be used.
ii. To EXIT during auto-tuning process, press and hold (>) until “AT” indicator turns off. Then
previous PID parameters values are resumed.

6. Connection Terminals (back view).

Polarity of power at terminal 1 and 2 do not matter. The “R” is not an external resistor; it is
only available from the Pt-100 thermocouple.
Relay J1: #3 #4 = normally closed, #4 #5 = normally opened
Relay J2: #13 #14 = normally opened
 Fig 7.

Note: For DC type, the power is 12V ~ 32V

7. Device Application Example

User want to control temperature (T) of furnace, 0 ~ 1000 deg Celsius sensor range is
required. Furnace is to be maintained at 800 deg C. Alarm1 will go off if T>850 deg C, and
Alarm2 will go off if T<750 deg C. System power supply is AC110V. Installation opening is
45x45(mm). SSR will be used to control the heating element.
a) Choose VTC-620 with K-type thermocouple.
b) See figure for connection diagram.
c) Parameter setting:
(Inty)=K; (SV)=800 deg C;
(outy)=2; (AH1)=850 deg C;
(Hy)=0.3; (AL1)=848 deg C;
(psd)=0; (AH2)=750 deg C;
(rd)=0; (AL2)=752 deg C;
(CorF)=0;
(auto-tuning is used to set PID parameters)
d) Power up the controller. Keep pressing (>) to activate auto-tuning. When “AT” stop
blinking, new PID parameters are generated for the new system. The controller is in
normal operation mode controlling the furnace temperature at 800 deg C.
