5 Electrical wirings
This controller has been designed and manufactured in conformity to Low Voltage
Directive 2006/95/EC , 2014/35/EU (LVD) and EMC Directive 2004/108/EC, 2014/30/
EU (EMC). For installation in industrial environments please observe following safety
guidelines:
• Separate control line from power wires.
• Avoid proximity of remote control switches, electromagnetic contactors, powerful
engines and use specific filters.
• Avoid proximity of power groups, especially those with phase control.
• It is strongly recommended to install adequate mains filter on power supply of
the machine where the controller is installed, particularly if supplied 230Vac. The
controller is designed and conceived to be incorporated into other machines,
therefore CE marking on the controller does not exempt the manufacturer of
machines from safety and conformity requirements applying to the machine itself.

setpoint value.

7.2 Auto-Tuning
Tuning procedure to calculate regulation parameters can be manual or automatic
according to selection on parameter 8 (P.i.d.).

7.3 Manual Tuning

Manual procedure allows the user a greater flexibility to decide when to update PID
algorithm parameters. After selected MAn. on parameter 8 (P.i.d.), the procedure can
be activated in two ways:
• Running Tuning by keyboard:
Press SET until display 1 shows the writing tunE with display 2 showing oFF, press
c, display 2 shows on.
TUN led switches on and the procedure starts.
• Running Tuning by digital input:
Select tunE on parameter 25 dGt.i. At first activation of digital input (commutation
on front panel) TUN led switches on while at second activation switches off.

User manual - ATR227 - 11

7.4 Automatic Tuning
Automatic tuning procedure has been conceived to give user the possibility to have a clear
regulation also without knowledge of PID regulation algorithm. Setting Auto on parameter
8 P.i.d., the controller will check process oscillations and will modify PID parameters.

7.5 Soft-Start
At starting the controller can follow a gradient expressed in units (ex. Degree/Hour) to
reach the setpoint. Enter this gradient on parameter 21 SFt.G. with the chosen units/hour:
at next activation the controller will execute the Soft-Start function.
If parameter 24 S.tiM. is different from 0, after switch-on and elapsing of the time set
on parameter 24 , setpoint does not follow the gradient anymore, but it reaches final
setpoint with maximum power.

7.6 Automatic/Manual Regulation for % Output Control

This function allows to select automatic functioning or manual command of the
output percentage.
By parameter 69 Au.ma. it is possible to select two modes.
1 First selection ( en.) pressing SET display 1 shows p.--- , while on display 2 appears
auto.
c
Press to select man mode; it is now possible to modify the output percentage
c d
using and . To back to automatic mode, using the same procedure, select auto
on display 2: MAN led switches off and functioning backs to auomatic.
2 Second selection ( en.st.) enables the same functioning, but with two important
variants:
• If there is a temporary power failure or after switch-off, manual functioning as well as the
previous output percentage value will be maintained at restarting.
• If the sensor breaks during automatic functioning, controller moves to manual mode
while maintaining the output percentage command unchanged as generated by the PID
immediately before breakage.
Ex: on an extruder the resistance percentage command (load) is kept also in case of
input sensor failure.

7.7 Digital input functions

On ATR227 digital input can be enabled by parameter 25 dGt.i.
• 2.SPv.: Switch between two setpoint thresholds: with digital input active ATR226
regulates on SET2, otherwise on SET1;
• run.: Regulation is enabled only with digital input active;
• tune: Enables/disables Tuning, if parameter 8 P.i.d. is set on man.;
• au.ma.: (Automatic/Manual) if par. 19 au.ma. is set on en. or en.st., ATR227 regulates
in manual mode if digital input active, otherwise the regulation is automatic..
• Act.t.: (Action Type) heating regulation with inactive digital input; Cooling
regulation with active digital input;
• o.rSt: (Outputs Reset) allows to reset the outputs if Manual reset should be
configured for command output and/or alarm outputs.

7.8 Memory Card (optional)
Parameters and setpoint values can be easily copied from one controller to others
using the MEMORY CARD.
Enter the Memory Card with the controller not connected to power supply.
At starting display 1 visualizes memo while display 2 visualizes SkiP (only if into the
Memory are stored correct values). Pressing display 2 visualizes Load. Press SET to c
confirm. The controller loads the new values and restarts.
NB: parameters may be copied only on controllers of the same model!

Updating Memory Card.

To update the memory card values, follow the procedure previously described, setting
SkiP on display 2 so as not to load the parameters on controller.1
Enter configuration (password 1234): Exiting configuration mode, the settings will be
automatically saved on Memory card.

7.9 Regulation control (only on ATR227-12ABC)

ATR227 integrates different types of control for the regulation of the SSR command
output, selecting parameter 43 o.cL.t. as follows:

7.9.a tiME Time control

For this type of control it is suggested to use a “zero-crossing” SSR.
Activation and deactivation of the output is related to the time selected on parameter
52 c.t.. Ex. selecting a time of 10s and supposing a 30% percentage, the output will
remain active for 3s and inactive for 7s.

7.9.b bSt.F. Burst fire control

For this type of control it is necessary to use a “Non zero-crossing” SSR.
The “Burst-fire” control (1 cycle) is a duty cycle mode which consists of supplying a
series of complete mains voltage cycles to the load.

In the event that, when turned on, the controller do not see memos, it means that there are no data on the
Memory Card, but you can also update their values.

7.9.c A.bt.F. Advanced Burst fire control
For this type of control it is necessary to use a “Non zero-crossing” SSR.
In order to minimise power fluctuation during the modulation period, the
“advanced Burst fire” SSR output firing mode uses:
· A complete number of cycles for firing
· A complete number of half-cycles for non-firing

12 Configuration EASY-UP
To simplify the setting of parameters and the integration of the different components
involved in the control system, Pixsys introduces the EASY-UP coding which allows to
set sensors and/or command outputs in one single step.
By means of the code listed in the data sheet enclosed to the sensor or actuator (SSR,
motorized valve, etc.) the EASY-UP coding will set the relevant main parameters on
the controllers (ex. selection of PT100 on parameter “SEN” and the corresponding
measuring range on parameters “Lower and Upper limits of the setpoint”).
Different codes may be entered on the controllers in sequence to configure inputs,
control output or retransmission of signal.

2200 PT100 (-100..500°C); ON/OFF with hysteresis 1°C on Q1; absolute Alarm 1 on Q2
2201 PT100 (-100..500°C); ON/OFF with hysteresis 1°C on SSR; absolute Alarm 1 on Q1
2204 PT1000 (-100..250°C); ON/OFF with hysteresis 1°C on Q1; absolute Alarm 1 on Q2
2205 PT1000 (-100..250°C); ON/OFF with hysteresis 1°C on SSR; absolute Alarm 1 on Q1
2250 PT100 (-100..500°C); PID automatic tune on Q1; absolute Alarm 1 on Q2
2251 PT100 (-100..500°C); PID automatic tune on SSR; absolute Alarm 1 on Q1
2300 TC J (-100..600°C); ON/OFF with hysteresis 1°C on Q1; absolute Alarm 1 on Q2
2301 TC J (-100..600°C); PID automatic tune on SSR; absolute Alarm 1 on Q1
2400 TC K (-100..850°C); ON/OFF with hysteresis 1°C on Q1; absolute Alarm 1 on Q2
