Chromalox 2104 Technical Manual 53
The timer setting should be chosen according to the
response time of the system. The minimum time seting
should be 0.25% of span divided by the normal load
response rate to full ON or full OFF condition
(whichever is slower).
Example: For a controller with type J T/C (span -100°F
to 1400°F), 0.25% of span is 3.75°F. If the heating
response is 2°F/min., and the cooling response is 1°F/
min., the minimum Loop Timer setting would be 3.8
minutes. To prevent false alarms, it is recommended that
you start by doubling the setting to 7.6 minutes.
The CLP Alarm sequence begins when the control
output reaches 0.0% or 100.0% (process variable outside
of the proportional band). The controller then measures
the time for the process variable to respond (increase or
decrease the process variable) and compares the
measured time to the Loop Timer value.
Control Loop Protection Alarm (CLP)
Control Loop Protection (CLP) monitors the
controller’s process variable input and load output to
detect and respond to conditions indicating a failure in
the control loop (Sensor, Controller Output, Load or
Process flow). CLP is selected by setting the LOOP Timer
on the CTRL PAGE menu to a value from 0.1 to 999.0
minutes (0.0 disables CLP).
