Furnace Setup

The Furnace Setup menu option is an administrative access only option.  Do not make any adjustments on the screen without first contacting Super Systems Inc..

 

PVT Type:

The PVT type is the mode the device runs in (Carbon, Dewpoint, etc.). The mode selected determines the calculations and scaling for the Process Variable. The PVT type will always be Vacuum for the 9220.

 

Temperature Mode:

This value determines the specific temperature scale to be used.  It can be either °F or °C.

 

Atmosphere Instrument:

The 9220 does not control atmosphere.

 

Temperature Instrument:

Allows for a Client instrument (or internal) to be the defined temperature control device.  The types of instruments are:  Internal Loop 1 – Internal Loop 3, Instrument 1 – Instrument 25.

 

Event Instrument:

Allows for a Client instrument (or internal) to be the defined event control device.  The types of instruments are:  Internal, PLC.

 

 

Quench Instrument:

Allows for Client instrument (or internal) to be the defined quench control device.  The types of instruments are:  Internal Loop 1 – Internal Loop 3, Instrument 1 – Instrument 25.

 

End of Quench Event:

Tells the programmer which event to signal end of quench (related to which relay it is assigned).  The list of possible values is: 0 – 14.

 

Quench Speed Event:

Tells the programmer which event will signal the quench speed.  The list of possible values is: 0 – 14.

 

Quench Run Event:

Tells the programmer which event will signal quench run.  The list of possible values is: 0 – 14.

 

Vacuum Gauge on RS-232:

This value determines if there is a vacuum gauge on the RS-232 port.  The list of options are either No or Yes.

 

Date and Time:

This value is the current date and time on the 9220 controller only (not the local computer or the touch screen, if applicable).  Clicking on the “Value” column will allow the user to set a new date and time on the controller.  Note: The date and time of the touch screen can be changed (if necessary) by selecting the date and time in the lower right corner on the touch screen under the menu.  This can be reached by going through the menu, and shutting down the software. Then, at the CE screen the date and time can be changed by double taping the time in the bottom right corner and setting it, then select “apply”. For this to take effect the screen needs to be rebooted; on the older TPC 642 displays the registry needs to be saved under TPC Configuration icon, the Misc Tab and then reboot the touch screen. The date and time that is recorded on the flash card (and therefore the datalog data) is the date and time of the Advantech display not the controller.

 

PLC Type:

This value defines the type of PLC being used.  The options are: Micrologix Modbus, MCMmodule Modbus, DF1 PLC5, DF1 Slik, Modbus TCP, Passive.

 

Default Hold Time:

This value is the default holding time for the furnace.  The range is 0 to 10000.

 

 

Clear events/end of recipe:

This switch will allow the user to clear the events out at the end of a recipe.  The options are either no or yes.

 

Clear TC set point/end of recipe

This switch will allow the user to clear the T/C set point out at the end of a recipe.  The options are either no or yes.

 

 

Client Event Boards

This is the amount of Client 9015 controllers to the 9220.

 

 

Load T/C Auto Check

This will monitor the Load TCs, and if there is a Load TC that is significantly out of band and most likely giving erroneous measurements, the controller will automatically disregard that Load TC when checking for band status (whether or not the Load TCs are in band with the control TC).  The controller will check once per minute.
