Safety Precautions

 Pictorial Symbols (safety symbols)

Various pictorial symbols are used in this manual to ensure safe use of the product, to protect you and

other people from harm, and to prevent damage to property. The symbols are described below.

Be sure you thoroughly understand the meaning of the symbols before reading this manual.

: This mark indicates precautions that must

be taken if there is danger of electric shock,

fire, etc., which could result in loss of life or

injury.

:

This mark indicates that if these precautions

and operating procedures are not taken,

damage to the instrument may result.

: This mark indicates that all precautions

should be taken for safe usage.

 An external protection device must be installed if failure of this instrument

could result in damage to the instrument, equipment or injury to personnel.

 All wiring must be completed before power is turned on to prevent electric

shock, fire or damage to instrument and equipment.

 This instrument must be used in accordance with the specifications to

prevent fire or damage to instrument and equipment.

 This instrument is not intended for use in locations subject to flammable or

explosive gases.

 Do not touch high-voltage connections such as power supply terminals, etc.

to avoid electric shock.

 RKC is not responsible if this instrument is repaired, modified or

disassembled by other than factory-approved personnel. Malfunction can

occur and warranty is void under these conditions.

IMR02L03-E1

i-2

 This product is intended for use with industrial machines, test and measuring equipment.

(It is not designed for use with medical equipment and nuclear energy.)

 This is a Class A instrument. In a domestic environment, this instrument may cause radio

interference, in which case the user may be required to take additional measures.

 This instrument is protected from electric shock by reinforced insulation. Provide reinforced

insulation between the wire for the input signal and the wires for instrument power supply,

source of power and loads.

 Be sure to provide an appropriate surge control circuit respectively for the following:

- If input/output or signal lines within the building are longer than 30 meters.

- If input/output or signal lines leave the building, regardless the length.

 This instrument is designed for installation in an enclosed instrumentation panel. All

high-voltage connections such as power supply terminals must be enclosed in the

instrumentation panel to avoid electric shock by operating personnel.

 All precautions described in this manual should be taken to avoid damage to the instrument

or equipment.



All wiring must be in accordance with local codes and regulations.

 All wiring must be completed before power is turned on to prevent electric shock, instrument

failure, or incorrect action.

The power must be turned off before repairing work for input break and output failure

including replacement of sensor, contactor or SSR, and all wiring must be completed before

power is turned on again.

 To prevent instrument damage or failure, protect the power line and the input/output lines

from high currents with a protection device such as fuse, circuit breaker, etc.

 Prevent metal fragments or lead wire scraps from falling inside instrument case to avoid

electric shock, fire or malfunction.

 Tighten each terminal screw to the specified torque found in the manual to avoid electric

shock, fire or malfunction.

 For proper operation of this instrument, provide adequate ventilation for heat dispensation.

 Do not connect wires to unused terminals as this will interfere with proper operation of the

instrument.

 Turn off the power supply before cleaning the instrument.

 Do not use a volatile solvent such as paint thinner to clean the instrument. Deformation or

discoloration will occur. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove stains from the instrument.

 To avoid damage to instrument display, do not rub with an abrasive material or push front

panel with a hard object.

 Do not connect modular connectors to telephone line.

 When high alarm with hold action is used for Event function, alarm does not turn on while

hold action is in operation. Take measures to prevent overheating which may occur if the

control device fails.

1.1 Features

The program controller has the following features:

Selectable LCD color

Dominant color (s) of LCD is selectable when

ordering.

• PF900: Green and Orange

• PF901: White

Easy-to-read display

Easily check the operation state in progress by the

simultaneous display of segment level and segmen

t

time, the operation lamps, and the program patter

n

indicated with the bar graph of dots.

Large-capacity program setting

Up to 99 program patterns may be set. Each program

p

attern offers up to 99 segments.

1024 segments maximum:

number of Pattern

× number of segment

Autotuning (AT) with learning function

Search soak areas to conduct Autotuning (AT) to the

segments in turn in the Reset mode (RESET).

Loader communication

Use the loader communication port to connect

PF900/901 with the personal computer to set or

monitor parameter set values.

Use with the communication converter,

COM-K (RKC product).

WinUCI-PF900 (monitor and setting tool for

PF900) is required to set or monitor this

instrument by using a personal computer.

To use a personal computer to set or control this

instrument, you must use WinUCI-PF900 software

(monitor and setting tool for PF900).

Refer to the CD-ROM (accessory) or download

from the official RKC website.

Two communication ports (optional)

PF900/901 has 2 communication ports: COM port 1

is for the Host communication and COM port 2 is

for Intercontroller communication between

controllers.

Host communication (communication 1)

Connect to the Host devices such as the Host

computer and operation panel by using the Host

communication.

Select communication interface from RS-232C,

RS-422A or RS-485 (when ordering).

Link operation (communication 2)

Connect with single loop temperature controller or

p

rogram controller via Intercontroller

communication to operate master/slave link

operation. No need to use remote setting input by

analog signal or the Host communication.

Operability

Simple setting by direct key

It is possible to switch operation mode among the

Program control mode, the Fixed set point control

mode, and the Manual control mode by using direc

t

keys in the SV setting & monitor mode. No need to

go to the specific setting display.

Also the type of key operation of the direct keys is

selectable: Press once, Press twice, or Press an

d

hold (2 seconds or more).

To prevent errors, the direct key operation can be

p

rohibited.

When Feedback resistance input is specified with other control method than Z or C, the factory set value is fixed to “Z: Position proportioning

PID control without FBR (Reverse action).”

4

Digital input 7 (DI7) to 11 (DI11) are standard.

5

Communication 2 is for the Intercontroller communication.
