West 4100/6100/8100 Series

Description

West 4100, 6100 and 8100 Series Controllers

  1. Why can't I change parameters such as Proportioning Band, Reset or Rate?
    Is the AT (Auto Tuning) light on or flashing?  You cannot manually change parameters such as Pr

  2. How do I setup my P Series control for On/Off control?
    You need to set the Primary Output Proportioning Band Pb_P to 0.0.  This parameter is in the Se

  3. I have a West Plus series control on a plastic machine. The temperature is staying 20 degrees high. Should I try to adjust the PID parameters? Would Auto Tune help?
    Tuning may not be the issue.   First we need to check on a few other things.   Is the

  4. What is the default scale when a linear input type such as 4-20mA is selected?
    The default configuration is for 0-100.0%  on the display to equate to 4-20mA on the input

  5. How do I scale my 6100, 8100, 4100 plus series control to match my transmitter or other linear signal?
    First you need to know: What is the output of the transmitter and what does it relate to?  You

  6. How do I configure an analog output to retransmit the displayed temperature?
    I want an analog output of 4-20mA to be related to -20 to 80C on the input.   You must hav

  7. I have a N series control with a linear 4-20mA input. It no longer displays the values properly. How do I check the related parameters that scale the input?
    You can check whether the control is set up for 4-20mA, 0-10V or some other input range in the

  8. My P6100 series control does not have the same control response as my older N6100 control. How do I setup the P6100 to control the same as the older control?
    The difference in control response is likely due to differences between the settings for t

  9. My Plus controller/indicator has a invalid Unlock code, why is this?
    This problem is almost certainly caused by electrical "noise", but it may enter the controller or in
