Overview:

The making of ceramics is one of the oldest forms of heat-treating known to man. Clay, silica or some type of high purity alumina is shaped, dried, milled and then baked at extremely high temperatures. This high baking process changes the clay material to stone or glass. Depending on the properties that are desired from the end product will determine the material used and the method of firing the work.
I cannot select UP350/351 with the LL100/LL200 program pattern setting tool.
(ns-faq-green-9110-soft)
By design, UP350/351 program patterns are set by using the parameter setting tool.
What are the proper uses for meter alarms, PV events, time events, and local events?
(ns-faq-green-9056-spec)
Meter alarms are for outputting alarms regardless of the operation mode. PV and time events are used only during program operation. Local events are action events used only during local operation.
With the LL100/LL200, are communications possible with the UT320/UT350/UP350 using a dedicated adapter?
(ns-faq-green-9116-1-spec)
Yes, if it is an enhanced model. If the product has been enhanced, an "E" appears on the front panel model name, as in "UT320E."
UT320/UT321/UT350/UT351. On the UP350/UP351, there are parameters that I can't set.
(ns-faq-green-9098-soft)
In the controller specifications, communication and LOCK parameters cannot be set with the LL100/LL200.
Can I output an opening (aperture) signal from a valve?
(ns-faq-green-9029-spec)
Yes, by setting RET=3(OUT). (Note that this is position proportional only.)
Can I use a heating/cooling type of 1 output?
(ns-faq-green-9069-spec)
Yes. The selection in the OT=0 to 3 setting in the setup parameters will be 1 output.
Can I perform CC-Link communication?
(ns-faq-green-9035-connect)
Yes, by using the UTAdvanced series.
What is the delay timer in the alarm function?
(ns-faq-green-9074-term)
This is a function in which output occurs a specified time after an alarm set point is exceeded. If you clear the alarm point during operation of the timer, the timer is reset.
IN is not displayed the first time I turn the power ON.
(ns-faq-green-9013-spec)
Once input is set, IN is not displayed when you turn the power ON.
Can you tell me about the 15 VDC transmitter power supply function?
(ns-faq-green-9030-spec)
This function supplies power to 2-wire transmitters. It differs depending on the specifications of the transmitter, but the input accepts 100 Ω resistors. 100 Ω resistor (model: X010-100-2, sold seperately)
When should I use sensor power supplies (affected models: certain Green series instruments)?
(ns-faq-green-9008-spec)
These are used when 2-wire transmitters are used in the field. They provide cost savings since they do not need to be purchased separately. 24 V (21.6–28.0 VDC, 30 mA MAX) sensor power supplies can be specified with the following models: UT551,...
I can't switch the SP.
(ns-faq-green-9053-spec)
Check whether you are trying to switch it via communication, or whether it is the zone PID.
Are there independent PIDs for heating and cooling?
(ns-faq-green-9070-spec)
Yes, if it is a heating/cooling type.
I'm trying to do AUTO/MAN via communication by writing 0/1 to DO206, but it's not working.
(ns-faq-green-9051-spec)
The DO206 items are used when in cascade control mode. For other modes, use DO201.
What settings can I use to get control output that is proportional to the input?
(ns-faq-green-9045-setting)
Set the following: P=100, I=D=OFF, DR=DIR (direct action), MR=0, SP=0.
Can you give me details on the "Super2" function? (Affected products:Green series)
(ns-faq-green-9003-term)
Even when you expand the applicable range of the PID constant, the process states fluctuate, or response is unstable and hunting occurs (control responses fluctuate), this function is effective for stabilizing control and suppressing hunting. Normall...
What PID should be used for remote input?
(ns-faq-green-9025-spec)
With the UT300 series, only use 1PID. With UT400/500/700 models, the PID used just prior to switching to remote input is used. When using SP switching during remote input, only the PID switches.
Output stops when the status is STOP.
(ns-faq-green-9031-spec)
When RET=1 or 2, the STOP has no effect.
Why don't PID items appear?
(ns-faq-green-9044-spec)
They don't appear with OT=3 ON/OFF control.
What models are supported by the LL100/LL200?
(ns-faq-green-9088-soft)
The UT300/400/500/700 series, and the UP350/351/550/750. However, the LL200 custom computation function is only compatible with the UT750/UP750.
What protocol is used when communicating with the Mitsubishi Electric's sequencer?

(ns-faq-green-9066-setting)
Set both item P on the heating side and item Pc on the cooling side to 0.0.
What is the difference between + and - of the dead zone?
(ns-faq-green-9067-spec)
If you set + dead zone in the settings, you can get an area where no outputs occur. If you set - dead zone, you can get an area where both outputs occur at the same time.
Is there a function for determining the PID?
(ns-faq-green-9039-spec)
Yes, the Auto tuning function.
I'm replacing my GREEN series with the UTAdvanced series. Is there anything I need to be careful of in terms of wiring?
(ns-faq-ut-2108-connect)
The common for all GREEN series alarm relay outputs are shared. In the UTAdvanced series, each alarm relay output has its own common. If used the same way, use external wiring to connect common to common.
Can I use an RS-485 communication program written for the GREEN series (UT300/UT400/UT500/UP300/UP500/UM300) on a UT-Advanced series instrument?
(ns-faq-ut-2025-connect)

After changing the UT's SP values from the MELSEC via CC-Link, when I change the SP value on the UT main unit, I can't change to the same value as before from the MELSEC.
(ns-faq-ut-2026-connect)
As for individually writing parameters via CC-Link, changing OUT area values constitutes a write request. In your case, since the OUT area value hasn't changed from the previous value, the SP value is notoverwritten. As a fix, periodically copy t...
There is no current input range.
(ns-faq-green-9018-spec)
Use a resistor to input current as voltage. A resistor is available: X010-250-2 (250 Ω).
Do Green series controllers support Ethernet?
(ns-faq-green-9009-connect)
Yes. This requires an RS-485/Ethernet converter such as VJET. The controller must also have a communication option. Some models can be connected directly with the UTAdvanced series.
When I set up alarm values the parameters are initialized and I can't enter the settings.
(ns-faq-green-9071-setting)
Set them in the order, Alarm type → Alarm setting values. They will also not be displayed if you select an alarm for which no value is set.
Can I write the PV value via communication?
(ns-faq-green-9048-spec)
The PV value can be written by using the ladder sequence function of UTAdvanced series. However, when communication is interrupted, the PV value is retained.
Can I change setup parameters while the instrument is running?
(ns-faq-green-9015-spec)
Yes, but if you change some parameters, others will be initialized. We do not recommend that you make changes while in operation.

There is no indication on the display in the GREEN series.
(ns-faq-green-9082-spec)
Check whether the wiring to the power supply terminal is correct. If only the LCD on the UT/UP700 does not display, a custom computation may be set for no display. If the PV display is also blank, this may indicate product failure. Please contact you...
Please provide information about PCB usage. (GREEN series)
(ns-faq-green-9125-spec)
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl) were banned from manufacturing and imports in 1975. The GREEN series began to be manufactured in 1997, and do not include PCBs.
Are contacts still good during malfunction?
(ns-faq-green-9081-spec)
There are 2 types of output available, FAIL and "failure diagnosis."
What are energize/de-energize alarms?
(ns-faq-green-9076-term)
For energize alarms, ON contact results when an alarm occurs. For de-energize alarms, OFF contact results when an alarm occurs. Note that OFF contact also results when the power fails.
How do I change the input type?
(ns-faq-green-9014-spec)
If you change the input type, parameters will be initialized. We do not recommend that you make changes while in operation.
Is there a function for resetting alarms?
