I just got a PID controller. I have the configuration settings worked out. Output options are internal relay (5 amp), SSR, or Triac, as well as an alarm circuit with the same outputs. I'm configured for heating, and for internal relay, units are F, and the setpoint at the moment is 195F.
No thermocouple is connected at the moment. Is it normal that the internal relay should be open circuit unless a thermocouple is connected? I assume that is why I have no continuity on my relay connectors.
I will probably only operate using Proportional, and using the hysteresis setting. I don't see any particular benefit in using Inductive and Derivative functions for my purposes.
