Thank you for choosing a NIVELCO instrument.
We are sure that you will be satisfied throughout its use.
1. APPLICATION
The UNICONT PMG-411, PMG-412 and PMG-413 universal analogue PID-controllers can be used with a
Pt-100 resistance thermometer and with different thermocouples for temperature measurement, control as
well as processing the signals of transmitters with 4 20 mA and 15 V DC or 010 V DC output. The
output signal of the controller can be a relay, continuos 4 20 mA process current signal or SSR-driver.
Additional alarm relay provides for limit monitoring. The unit is microprocessor based, has an auto-tuning
software, automatic and its PID controller able to find the optimum of the P-I-D constants. The setting can be
performed by the keyboard on the front side. The large bi-coloured display provides easy reading even from
far distance. The process parameters are red, the set values are green.

ALARM RELAY DISABLING
MODE OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Standard No latch
Latch
Remains latched after triggering.
Release by selecting AL-A.
Standby Latch
No triggering at first reaching of PV
SV. The output does not switch on if
the PV first reaches the set point (SV).
It triggers only if PV differs from the
SV and reaches the alarm value.
Latch and Standby
Simultaneous use of latching and
standby order.
SETTING THE ANALOGUE INPUT
Pushing both fasteners on the back side, the instrument can be pulled out of the
box. There are two jumpers (S/W1 and S/W2) inside the instrument. The jumpers
can be carefully pushed off and pulled back according to the figure below.
A.) Resistance thermometer and thermocouple input
B.) Voltage input (1 ... 5 V DC, 0 ... 10 V DC)
C.) Current input (4 ... 20 mA)
SV-2 OPERATION (INTERNAL SET POINT)
The SV can be seen on the lower green display and set by the keys on the front
panel.
There is a possibility to set a second internal SV in the SV-2 menu, which is
effective with the short circuit of the input points IN2.
MEASURED VALUE OFFSET (PARAMETER In-b)
Displayed value can be shifted with any value in the parameter In-b menu (Offset
Function). This can be applied for instance for cable compensation with
temperature measurement of two wire Pt 100.
SCALING
Measurement range will automatically be determined with the use of Pt 100 or
thermocouple. For analogue inputs (420 mA, 010 V DC, 15 V DC) the low
and the high values have to be entered in menu L-SC (low value) or
H-SC (high value).
SETTING RISING TEMPERATURE GRADIENT (RAMP)
The required delay can be set in the rAPU menu for heating and in rAPd for
cooling is needed. After reaching the new SV, will be kept by the controller.
6. CONTROL ALGORITHM
There are three different control algorithms, which can be set by the UNICONT
PMG-411, -412 unit.
ON / OFF control
Proportional (P) control
PID control
The best accuracy can be achieved by PID control. The PMG-413 unit with
analogue output can only be used as PID controller.
It is essential to define the control characteristic: whether heating or cooling is
needed.
COOLING/HEATING CONTROL
The unit is able to control the cooling/heating process and it can also be used for
level control. The filling control corresponds with the heating algorithm and the
emptying control with the cooling algorithm.
The algorithm can be selected in menu o-Ft.
Select HEAT: heating or filling control
Select CooL: cooling or emptying control

PV = process variable Y = control signal
ON / OFF CONTROL
Setting the PID parameters to zero the unit can be operating as an ON/OFF
controller.
In this case the controller offers a settable symmetrical switching difference in the
menu HIS.
The heating or cooling algorithm should be set (see menu o-Ft)
PROPORTIONAL (P) CONTROL
In case of proportional control the value of gain (P) is other than zero but the
integral and derivative times are zero. The proportional gain can be set between
1100%. Control will be accomplished by changing the time of the relayss
energised and de-energised state within the its cycle time. The cycle time of the
relay can be set in the menu T between 1120 s.
Proportional band: the control range of the cycle. Out of the proportional band
the relay is always energised or de-energised.
The proportional baude: q = P (%) M
where M = measurement range.
The location of the proportional band compared to the SV depends on the
percentage value in the menu rESt. If rESt value = 0%, the whole range is under
the SV.
If rESt value = 0 %, the whole band is under the SV.
If rESt value = 50.0 %, the proportional band is symmetrically situated to
the SV
If rESt value = 100 %, the proportional band is situated over the SV

PID CONTROL
The PID control is the most commonly used control mode. Similar to the
proportional control PID control will be accomplished by changing the relays
energised and de-energised states within its cycle time. Since determination of
the PID parameters by the manual trial and error method the use of the AT mode
is suggested.
AT MODE
Sensing characteristic features of the control process, the unit determines
automatically the PID parameters and the cycle time.
AT mode will be started by pressing key AT at least 3 s.
During the auto tuning the AT-LED will be blinking and it will turn off if completed.
Auto tuning can be interrupted by pressing key AT for longer than 3 sec. Auto
tuning procedure is suggested to repeat from time to time since thermal features
may be changed.
PID RAMPING MODES
There are two different ramping modes
With the first one, the PV reaches the SV with high speed. In this case a minor
override will occur (Fig. 1.), by the second one the PV reaches the SV slower
but without override (Fig. 2.)
Selecting and setting can be performed in the Pidt menu. PidF means the fast
and PidS the slow setting.

7. FAULT INDICATION
The unit provides for fault indication if it does not work correctly.
The fault indication can be a text on the display or triggering of the Alarm relay.
Fault indications on the display
There are three kinds of fault indiications:
LLLL the measured value is under the lower measurement limit (it is
probable an incorrect input choice)
HHHH the measured value is over the upper measurement limit (the input
signal has not been correctly choosen)
OPEN the sensor input screw terminal is open (the wire is loose or cut)
Fault indications by the Alarm relay
The Alarm relay can be programmed for two alarm events.
Selecting LbA Menu Point: In case of a unit failure the relay will be triggered
with a delay set in Parameter Menu (See SETTING
CONTROL PARAMETERS)
Selecting SBA Menu Point: In case of sensor cut the relay will be triggered with
a dely set in Parameter Menu (See SETTING
CONTROL PARAMETERS)
8. STORAGE CONDITIONS
Ambient temperature: -25...+60C
Air moisture: max. 98 %
9. WARRANTY
Warranty: two years after the purchase. It can only be validated if presenting both
the warranty sheet and the invoice.
The warrantial repair is carried out at the manufacturers seat so the costs of
dismounting and mounting as well as the shipping charge the customer. The
manufacturer accepts the instruments only accurately cleaned or desinfectioned.
We do not guarantee faults because of irregular use, break and elemental
damage.
