Digital controller: how to programm it?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around programming a Honeywell-Mellen UDC 3200 controller to achieve a controlled heating rate of 5°C per minute up to 1000°C. The user is experiencing issues with the heating process being too fast despite their current settings. Suggestions include checking the RATE variable for ramp rate adjustments, as it may provide better control over the heating speed. The conversation indicates that the problem may not be strictly programming-related but could involve the heating element's constraints. Understanding the controller's specific parameters is crucial for achieving the desired heating performance.

Hi!

I have to use a Honeywell-Mellen controller UDC 3200.
To heat up to 1000°C with 5°/C min.
I was programming as follwing:
SRAMP
Time:250
EU/HR: 8500
GAIN: 60.0

but is is still fast heating ?
Have you any idea how to do it?

Thank you in advance!

Read the datasheet?

Your question doesn't look like programming problem.
It looks more like you are asking about heating element constraints.
 
I am asking how to set the programm because I have the problem that is too fast heating.
I do not know what is wrong.
 
1000C, eh? Hot dog! On our ovens, the ramp rate is set with the RATE variable. Does your machine have something similar?
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
