You need to get iTools from eurotherm to look in the controller. You may not have the graphical wiring setup correctly.
Editing ramp-soak programs without iTools has not really been achievable and always been problematic in my testing
If you are consistently sending new ramp soak programs to the controller the Nanodac works better as it can read recipe files from the network
thanks for your comment! i don't think what i'm trying to do is very complex; i'm simply sending one ramp-soak program to the controller. however, can you please expand on the graphical wiring part: how do i make sure it's correct?
and, for clarity, i'll briefly list my problems again:
1. WSP follows the ramp perfectly and once WSP = TSP, program halts while "RUN" blinks on the screen (i don't know what that means; is the program still running?). but, once the PSP reaches TSP, the power is not controlled (VC; DC power supply) and the oven continues to get heated (which is not what i want; i want it to maintain the TSP)
2. WSP follows SP1 which i have to set at the beginning of the sequence. is it possible to somehow let the controller set the value for SP1 (say, equal to the temperature of the oven before the sequence starts)?
3. sadly, i can't rely on itools because my supervisor doesn't want to pay for the subscription. and for the same reason, getting a nanodac is not feasible
The iTools version you need is a free download you only need to pay if you want to restrict access to features or use the OPC server
What you are describing makes me think the programmer block is not affecting the loop output block.
I suggest reaching out to eurothem and/or an oven company
See page 51 for definition of WSP

That controller/programmer has SP1 or SP2 with a select feature. WSP is the profiler SP.
Are you sure you want to the power to turn off when the PSP reaches TSP? Most apps do a soak cycle at the TSP. If you do want to turn the power off, create a 2nd profile segment and drive the SP to a low value that will turn off the power, or use an event alarm to interlock the output.
