Setpoint Time - Programming

SETPOINT:
You will be able to use up to 8 setpoints in a 24-hour time period. Within each day, Setpoints are based on time and temperature to produce an ideal environment. By placing setpoints during different times of the day, you can regulate the temperature within a range for target temperatures and humidity. When a setpoint is in effect at a certain time length, the controller will activate the necessary equipment in heating and cooling stages to bring the environment back to Normal. The same applies when the humidity rises or falls beyond the target low/high setpoint. When one or more setpoints are used, the second or subsequent setpoints will become the active setpoint at the start time and the previous setpoint will end.

To program Setpoint Time from Pearl Cloud Platform you would do the following:

RAMPING :
In addition, you have the option of a temperature ramp between the setpoints. Each setpoint time period ends with a Ramp time. The benefit of ramping allows for you to make smooth transitions within the climate zone so that the plants don’t experience temperature shock. Ramping also saves energy, which translates directly into lower operating costs. In the example below, the start time is 8:00a with a 30-minute ramp time. The ramp time enables a smooth transition of the target temperatures between the setpoint time periods. Of course, the ramp times can be set to 0, and in this case, there will be an immediate step transition in the set points. This is best explained by the illustration shown below: Setpoint
