Some of the et24xx programs does not work!

I am trying to use ex24xx to control the Eurotherm 2408. Most of the programmes work well, except some ones like 'Configure 1A output electrical values' and 'Set the OP (output) power rate', which one is using to force the output power changing limit. These are not very urgent since we could set all the parameters manually first.

 

But i have to set program. The parameter 'Duration time' for Dwell Segment is not valid. It shows 'N/A' and 'N/A' range. That means even though i connet a control to this parameter, nothing is changing! The duration time is always set to 0! Then i could not use the program at all...

 

Does it mean that it is not finished or what?

Bummer dude!

 

Looks like you need to read the user's guide and re-write the driver.

Hi

Not sure if this will help : I also had problems with a 2408 temp controller... So, I used only the temperature setpoint command in a while loop (the temperature control was actually made inside my program with a waveform). It is of course not ideal and is more"expensive" in CPU resources but it works... until I will have the time to correct this...

Regards
