Example: When sensor type is K thermocouple (
−200 to +1372 °C)
2.2 Parameter Selection within Mode
SV setting & Monitor mode
It is possible to set SV which is a control target and also to monitor PV, SV, MV, etc.
* Fix mode: Fixed set point control mode
Parameter setting mode
It is possible to set any parameter relating to control.
* Fix mode: Fixed set point control mode
