Kinda of a resurrection, but I have a question for all of the PID gurus assembled in one place. I'm using a SYL-2352 PID to drive a single SSR. I currently have mine configured so that AL-2 (low process alarm) is constantly on up to a set-point. I have the set-point well below what I consider a maximum safe temperature. This way, the SSR is energized while the alarm is active, i.e., the temperature has not reached the set-point. Once the set-point (+ hysteresis) is reached, the alarm stops and de-energizes the SSR. This seems to be intuitively simpler than assigning 2 separate alarms and running jumpers. It also seems like an adequate fail-safe for not overheating the tube or dry-firing the element. Did I oversimplify things? Am I shortening the life span of the alarm relay? Am I disregarding the design of the PID by not utilizing a built-in system for this very purpose? Thanks for the help.
