1 Introduction
This product is a 1/4 DIN size (96 x 96mm front) microprocessor based graphical process controller, featuring
a 160 x 80 pixel, monochrome LCD with dual color (red/
green) backlight. It operates from 100-240V at 50/60
Hz or 24V-48V AC/DC, depending on the model purchased. It can measure and control up to two process
variables from a variety of sources such as temperature, pressure, flow and level. Primary and secondary
control outputs are possible for each loop.
over time, increasing, decreasing or holding their values as required. When combined with the real-time
clock (part of the Data Recorder option) the profiling
capabilities are expanded to allow automatic program
start at a defined time and day.
Inputs are user configurable for thermocouple and RTD
probes, as well as linear process signal types such as
mVDC, VDC or mADC. Two-point calibration or multipoint scaling can compensate for errors or non-linear
signals. Output options include single or dual relays,
single or dual SSR drivers, triacs or linear mA/V DC.
These can be used for process control, alarms/events
or retransmission of the process variable or setpoint
to external devices. Transmitter power supply options
can provide an unregulated 24V DC (22mA) auxiliary
output voltage, or a 0 to 10VDC stabilized excitation for
external signal transmitters.
Optional features include a second process input, USB
interface, remote setpoint inputs RS485 or Ethernet
communications, profile control and data recording.
Control options include cascade, ratio and 3-point
stepping valve control. Automatic tuning or 5 stage
gain-scheduling are also available.
The USB Interface option allows uploading or downloading instrument configuration settings to/from a
USB memory stick, for easy configuration of multiple
instruments or transfer to/from the PC configuration
software. If the data recorder or profiler options are fitted, recordings and profile information can be transferred via the memory stick.
Up to 7 alarms can be defined as process high or low,
deviation (active above or below controller setpoint),
band (active both above and below setpoint), rate of
input change, control loop, PID power or signal break
types. Alarm status can be indicated by lighting an
LED, changing the display backlight color or viewing
the active alarm status screen. These alarms can be
linked to any suitable output.
The data recorder option allows the user to make recordings of the processes over time. Recordings can
be transferred to a memory stick using the USB interface or downloaded via one of the communications options.
Configuration for basic applications is possible using
the easy Setup Wizard run automatically at first powerup or manually later. Access to the full range of parameters is via a simple menu driven front panel interface,
or the PC based configuration software.
The Profiler option allows the user to predefine up 255
segments, shared amongst up to 64 Setpoint Profiles.
These control the setpoint levels for the control loop(s)
2 Installation
Installation
ELECTRIC SHOCK/FIRE HAZARD. Read and
understand all instructions before ine installation, servicing or operating controller. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury or death
and/or equipment or property damage.
ELECTRIC SHOCK/FIRE HAZARD. Installation
should be only performed by technically competent personnel. It is the responsibility of the
installing engineer to ensure that the configuration is safe. Local Regulations regarding
electrical installation & safety must be observed (e.g. US National Electrical Code (NEC)
or Canadian Electrical Code). Failute to follow
these instructions could result in personal injury or death or equipment/property damage.
Unpacking
1. Remove the product from its packing. Retain the
packing for future use, in case it is necessary to
transport the instrument to a different site or to return it to the supplier for servicing.
2. The instrument is supplied with a panel gasket and
push-fit mounting clamp. A multi-page concise
manual is supplied with the instrument, in one or
more languages. Examine the delivered items for
damage or defects. If any are found, contact your
supplier immediately.
1
If panel sealing must be maintained, mount each instrument into an individual cut-out with 10mm or more
clearance between the edges of the holes.
Note: The mounting clamp tongues may engage the
ratchets either on the sides or the top/bottom faces
of the Instrument housing. When installing several
Instruments side-by-side in one cut-out, use the
ratchets on the top/bottom faces.
Ensure the inside of the panel remains within the
instrument operating temperature and that there
is adequate airflow to prevent overheating.
Note: For an effective IP66 seal against dust and
moisture, ensure gasket is well compressed against
the panel, with the 4 tongues located in the same
ratchet slot.
Do not remove the panel gasket, as this may
result in inadequate clamping and sealing of
the instrument to the panel.
Once the instrument is installed in its mounting panel, it
may be subsequently removed from its housing if necessary, as described in the Fitting and Removing Plugin Modules section.
Figure 1. Main Dimensions
Cleaning
Clean the front panel by washing with warm soapy
water and dry immediately. If the USB option is fitted,
close the USB port cover before cleaning.
Panel-Mounting
The mounting panel must be rigid and may be up to
6.0mm (0.25 inches) thick. The cut-out size is:
92mm x 92mm (+0.5mm / -0.0mm).
Instruments may be mounted side-by-side in a multiple installation, but instrument to panel moisture and
dust sealing will be compromised. Allow a 20mm gap
above, below and behind the instrument for ventilation.
The cut-out width (for n instruments) is:
(96n - 4) mm or (3.78n - 0.16) inches
Gasket
1. Insert instrument into the
panel cut-out.
Mounting Panel
2. Hold front bezel firmly
(without pressing on the
display area), and re-fit
mounting clamp. Push the
clamp forward, using a tool if
necessary, until gasket
compresses and instrument
is held firmly in position.

3 Field Upgrade Options
Plug-Modules and Upgradeable Functions
Plug-Modules can be either pre-installed at the time
of manufacture, or retrofitted in the field to expand the
capabilities of the controller. Contact your supplier to
purchase these items. Part numbers and circuit board
identification numbers for the plug-in modules and accessories are shown in below:
Plastic pegs prevent fitting of older non-reinforced single relay modules (Board Identification Numbers 637/01 and 638/01). Fitting the
older relay modules reduces the isolation rating to Basic 240V Isolation and is therefore not
recommended. Remove this peg when fitting
Dual Relay Modules.

Preparing to Install or Remove Options
Modules
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all
power before installing or servicing controller.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or property damage.
Replacement of boards must be carried out by
a technically competent technician. If the Power Supply board does not match the labelling,
users may apply incorrect voltage resulting in
irreparable damage.
1. Grip the edges of the front panel (there is a finger
grip on each edge) and pull it forwards approximately 10mm, until the Front Panel Removal Latch
prevents further movement. The purpose of the
latch is to prevent removal of the instrument without
the use of a tool.
Removing/Replacing Option Modules
1. To remove or replace Plug-in Modules 1, 2, 3 or A it
is necessary to detach the power supply and input
boards from the front panel by lifting first the upper
and then lower mounting struts.
2. The Front Panel Removal Latch must be pushed
down to allow removal of the instrument. Using
a tool (e.g. screwdriver or pen tip), press down it
down through the front central ventilation hole. This
will release the instrument from the case.
2. Remove or fit the modules to the connectors on the
power supply and input boards. The location of the
connectors is shown below. Plastic pegs prevent
fitting of older nonreinforced single relay modules –

Profiler Enabling
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all
power before installing or servicing controller.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or property damage.
If you purchased a controller with the Profiler option
installed, these features will be enabled during manufacture.
Controllers supplied without the Profiler option installed can be upgraded in the field by purchasing a
licence code number from your supplier. A unique code
must be purchased to enable profiling on each controller that requires it.
With the required option modules correctly located
into their respective positions the instrument can be
replaced into its housing as follows:
1. Hold the Power Supply and Input boards together.
2. Align the boards with the guides in the housing.

tween them. If wires MUST cross each other, ensure
they do so at 90 degrees to minimize interference.
ELECTRIC SHOCK/FIRE HAZARD. Installation
should be only performed by technically competent personnel. It is the responsibility of the
installing engineer to ensure that the configuration is safe. Local Regulations regarding electrical installation & safety must be observed
(e.g. US National Electrical Code (NEC) or Canadian Electrical Code). Failure to follow these
instructions could result in personal injury or
death and/or equipment / property damage.
Keep signal cables as short as possible. If an earthed
thermocouple is used or if the sensor has a screened
cable, it should be earthed at one point only, preferably
at the sensor location or cabinet entry point, by means
of a metal gland. Ideally all analogue and digital signals
should be shielded like this, but for unscreened cables,
large diameter ferrite sleeves at the cabinet entry point
are an effective method of reducing RF interference.
Looping cables through the ferrite sleeves a number of
times improves the efficiency of the filtering. For mains
input cables the fitting a suitable mains filter can provide good results.
Avoiding EMC Problems
This controller has passed EMC compliance tests to
EN61326. There should be no difficulty achieving this
level of compliance in use, but it should be borne in
mind that the wiring of the installation can significantly
reduce the efficiency of instrumentation immunity due
to the ease with which high frequency RF can enter via
unprotected cables.
Noise Suppression at Source
If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relays and
replace with solid-state relays. Noise-generating devices such as Ignition transformers, arc welders, motor drives, relays and solenoids should be mounted in
a separate enclosure. If this is not possible, separate
them from the instrumentation, by the largest distance
possible.
The following general recommendations can reduce
the possibility of EMC problems.
Many manufacturers of relays, contactors etc supply
‘surge suppressors’ to reduce noise at its source. For
those devices that do not have surge suppressors supplied, Resistance-Capacitance (RC) networks and/or
Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) may be added.
1. If the instrument is being installed in existing equipment, wiring in the area should be checked to ensure that good wiring practices have been followed.
2.The controller should be mounted in a properly
earthed metal cabinet. All round metal shielding is
important, so the cabinet door may require a conductive sealing strip.
Inductive coils: MOVs are recommended for transient
suppression in inductive coils. Connect as close as
possible, in parallel to the coil. Additional protection
may be provided by adding an RC network across the
MOV.
3. It is good practice to ensure that the AC neutral is at
or near ground (earth) potential. A proper neutral will
help ensure maximum performance from the instrument.
4. Consider using a separate isolation transformer to
feed only the instrumentation. A transformer can
protect instruments from noise found on the AC
power supply.
Cable Isolation & Protection
Four voltage levels of input and output wiring may be
used with the unit:
Figure 5. Transient Suppression
with Inductive Coils
1. Analog inputs or outputs (for example thermocouple, RTD, VDC, mVDC or mADC)
2. Relays & Triac outputs
4. AC power
Contacts: Arcing may occur across contacts when
they open and close. This results in electrical noise as
well as damage to the contacts. Connecting a properly
sized RC network can eliminate this arc.
The only wires that should run together are
those of the same category.
For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm
resistor and 0.1 microfarad capacitor (1000 volts) is
recommended. For circuits from 3 to 5 amps, connect
two of these in parallel.
3. Digital Inputs & SSR Driver outputs
If any wires need to run parallel with any from another
category, maintain a minimum space of 150mm be-
6
The placement of probes into pipe work some
distance from the heating vessel leads to transport delay, which results in poor control.
For a two wire RTD, a wire link should be used in place
of the third wire (see the wiring section for details). Two
wire RTDs should only be used with lead lengths less
than 3 metres.
Use of three wire RTDs is strongly recommended to
reduce errors do to lead resistance.
Thermocouple Wire Identification
The different thermocouple types are identified by their
wires color, and where possible, the outer insulation
as well. There are several standards in use throughout
the world, but most regions now use the International
IEC584-3 standard.

pull-up resistors, so may be connected to either voltage free contacts (e.g. from a switch), or TTL compatible signals: Logic High = Open contacts (>5000Ω) or 2
to 24VDC signal. Logic Low = Closed contacts (<50Ω)
or -0.6 to +0.8VDC signal.

standard, UL 60950.
Plug-in Module Slot A – Single Digital Input Module
If a digital input module is fitted, it provides a fully isolated input that is held high via a pull-up resistor. The
input can be connected to either to voltage free contacts (e.g. from a switch), or a TTL compatible signal.

Special Wiring Considerations for Valve
Motor Control
Figure 40. Plug-in Module Slot A –
Digital Input A Module
Valve Motor Drive (VMD) controllers require two identical outputs to be assigned to position the valve. One
to open and one to close the valve. These outputs can
be two single relays, two triacs, two SSR drivers or one
dual relay, but it is recommended to use two single relays (SPDT change-over contacts), and to interlock the
relay wiring as shown. This prevents both motor windings from being driven at the same time, even under
fault conditions.
Option C Connections
Option C offers a factory fitted multiple digital input option. The board also accommodates the USB port if
that is option is fitted. The USB port does not have
connections on the rear terminal, it is accessed via the
front panel.
Switching actuators directly connected to the valve
motor must only be used up to half of their rated voltage (see CAUTION below). The internal relay and triac
outputs are rated at 240VAC, so the maximum motor
voltage when using them in this way is therefore 120V
unless interposing relays are used. Interposing relays
or other devices used to control the valve must themselves be rated for twice the motor supply voltage.

ELECTRIC SHOCK/FIRE HAZARD. The windings
of a valve motor effectively form an autotransformer. This has a voltage doubling effect when
power is applied to either the Open or Close
terminal, causing twice the supplied voltage at
the other terminal. For this reason, switching
devices directly connected to the valve motor must only be used up to half of their rated
voltage. The maximum motor voltage when using the internal relays/triacs is therefore 120V
unless interposing relays are used. Interposing relays or other devices used to control the
valve must themselves be rated for twice the
motor supply voltage. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.

5 Powering Up
Ensure safe wiring practices have been followed. When
powering up for the first time, disconnect the output
connections. The instrument must be powered from
a supply according to the wiring label on the side of
the unit. The supply will be either 100 to 240V AC, or
24/48V AC/DC powered. Check carefully the supply
voltage and connections before applying power
Powering Up Procedure
At power up, a self-test procedure is automatically
started, during which a splash screen is displayed and
the LED indicators are lit. At the first power up from
new, a Setup Wizard runs to assist configuration of basic applications (refer to the Setup Wizard section on
page 43). At all other times, the instrument returns to
the normal operation mode once the self-test procedure is complete.
Figure 43. A Typical Front Panel
Front Panel Overview
The illustration below shows an instrument fitted with
the optional USB socket located to the right of the four
keypad buttons. Clean the front panel by washing with
warm soapy water and dry immediately. If the USB option is fitted, close the port cover before cleaning.
Display
The instrument has a 160 x 80 pixel monochrome
graphical display with dual color (red/green) backlight.
The main display typically shows the process variables,
setpoints, power / deviation bar graphs or graphical
trends during normal operation. There are recorder and
profile status screen. The top line of the display has
labels for the 4 LED indicators. If desired, the backlight color can be changed to indicate the presence of
an active alarm or latched output. Refer to the Display
Configuration section.

LED Functions
Keypad Functions & Navigation
There are four red LEDs that by default indicate the
status of the primary & secondary outputs, automatic
tuning and alarm status. The top line of the graphical
display has four labels for LED indicators. The function
of these LEDs and their display labels can be changed
using the PC configuration software. The information
in this manual assumes standard functions for these
LEDs.
Each instrument has four keypad switches, which are
used to navigate through the user menus and adjust
the parameter values. In configuration screens, a context sensitive scrolling help text is displayed that guides
the user about the function of the keys.

6 Messages and Error Indicators
Plug-in Module Problems
Auxiliary Input Over-range or Under-range
Indication
If an invalid or unknown module is detected in one of
the plug-in module slots during the power-up self-test,
the message “Fault Found, Press
, for details” is
shown. This is followed by “Replace faulty module in
Module Slot n, Press
,” (where n is the faulty slot
location). The Service Contact information is displayed
next showing details of who to contact if a fault persists
If the auxiliary Remote Setpoint input is more than 5%
above than the Auxiliary Input Upper Limit, its value is
replaced by the word “HIGH” to indicate that it is out
of range.
If the auxiliary Remote Setpoint input is more than 5%
below than the Auxiliary Input Lower Limit, its value is
replace by the word “LOW” to indicate that it is out of
range.
Replace the module in slot “n”. If this does not solve
the problem, return the instrument for investigation.
Cascade-Open
“Cascade Open” is shown on the main screen if the
internal link has be severed between cascaded master
and slave control loops. This mode should only be used
for diagnostics and slave tuning. Close the cascade for
proper operation. Refer to the Cascade Control section
for more information.
Do not continue using the product until the the
error is resolved.
Sensor Break Detection
Whenever a problem is detected with a process variable or auxiliary input connection, the displayed value
for that input is replaced with the word “OPEN”; except
in Ratio control where an open input 1 or 2 is shown
as “x1-Open” or “x2-Open”. See Redundant Input to
protect critical processes from sensor faults.
Profile Not Valid
If the user attempts to run a profile that would take the
setpoint beyond the current setpoint limits, the profile
will not run and the message “Profile Not Valid” is displayed at the bottom of the profile status screen.
This may be the result of a failed sensor, a broken connection or an input circuit fault.
USB Data Transfer Failure message
In this condition, the control outputs go to the pre-set
power value (see Control Configuration.)
If the instrument cannot successfully write to the USB
memory stick, the message “Data Transfer Failure” will
be displayed. Check that there is adequate disk space
on the memory stick, then retry.
Correct the signal/wiring problem to continue
normal operation.
If the instrument cannot successfully read data from
the USB memory stick, the message “Data Transfer
Failure” will also appear. Check that this operation
would not cause the maximum number of profiles and/
or segments to be exceeded then retry.
Un-Calibrated Input Detection
The instrument is fully calibrated during manufacture. If
a fault occurs and calibration data is lost, the process
input displays are replaced with the word “ERROR”
and error is shown instead of “Calibrated” for effected
inputs in Service & Product Information mode.
Getting Help
First Level Support
If the errors persist or other problems are encountered,
refer your supplier for first level support. This includes
help with configuration, tuning, servicing and replacement modules.
In this condition, the control outputs go to the pre-set
power value (see Control Configuration).
Second Level Support
If your supplier is unable to assist or cannot be contacted, check the Service & Product Information screen
on the main menu for details of who to contact.
Perform a full base calibration of the input before continuing normal operation. If the problem
persists, return the instrument for servicing.

7 Application Setup
Before beginning configuration, consider how the controller will be used in your application. For instance,
how many control loops are needed, is cascade or ratio
control required, will the unit control a valve motor, do
you need setpoint profiling etc. Consideration should
also be given to the output types, alarms and tuning
method.
more complex applications where the wizard is not
sufficient, consideration must be given to the following
fundamental questions:
If fitted, how will the 2nd input be used?
• One loop only (if the 2nd input not fitted or not used
in this application)
• Two independent control loops
• Valve feedback for loop 1
• A “redundant” backup for the 1st input
• Cascaded with the first control loop
• A reference input for ratio control
This section is intended to help with this process, guiding you through the major configuration settings. Additional information can be found in the relevant sections
of this manual, including the glossary, configuration
menus, and dedicated sections for major features.
These are listed in the table of contents.
How will the instrument physically control the process?
•Primary only or primary & secondary control outputs
• Direct valve motor drive outputs
Pre-Commissioning Considerations
An easy Setup Wizard is available for basic applications where the most commonly required parameters
are present for adjustment in turn. The wizard has a
sub-set of the full configuration menu options. For
The table below shows the main input and control configuration settings for these application types (see configuration menus).

pass-code (1 to 9999) to gain entry. These menus are
indicated by the symbol . The codes can be viewed
and changed from the Lock Code Configuration submenu of Configuration Mode. The factory default unlock code is 10 for all modes but for security, these
should be changed to new values. If the Configuration
Mode lock code is lost, refer to Lost Lock Codes.

Control Mode
Select the fundamental application type, from: Standard; Cascade or Ratio.
Refer to the Application Setup section.
Note: Choosing Cascade or Ratio disables the use of the 2nd input as a
fully independent control loop.
Cascade Mode
Opens or closes the cascade link. Cascade-Open breaks the master-slave
connection. This allows slave loop to be tuned & adjusted independently.
Caution: Return to Cascade when finished!
Profile Selection Type
Select the bit pattern to be used for profile selection. Binary or BCD (Binary
Coded Decimal). Select None if profile selection not is required.
Control Select
Select from Control Standard or Control VMD (TPSC).
Use Control VMD to directly drive the windings of a motorized valve. This uses
a 3-point stepping algorithm giving “open” and “close” outputs.
Use Standard for all other applications (including solenoid valves or modulating valves with positioning circuitry requiring mA or VDC signals).
Control Enable/Disable
Used to temporarily disable the control outputs. Select control Enabled (normal) or Disabled – when disabled, control output(s) for this loop are turned off
(unless manual mode has been selected), and the setpoint value is replaced
by “OFF”.
Caution: The instrument is not able to control the process when
control is disabled and the Output Power Limits are ignored.
Auto/Manual Control
Selection
Switches the control loop between Automatic and Manual Control. The operator monitors and alters power to correctly control the process (0 to 100% or
-100 to +100% for dual control).
Caution: Manual mode overrides the automatic control loop. It
also ignores any output power limits, valve open/close limits and
the control enable/disable setting. The operator is responsible for
maintaining the process within safe limits.
Control Type
Select Single Control for primary control only (e.g. heating only or cooling only)
or Dual for primary and secondary control outputs (e.g. heating and cooling) Dual is not possible with Ratio or VMD Control.
Primary Control Action
Set the primary control output for Reverse or Direct Action. Reverse action applies additional primary power as the process falls further below setpoint (e.g.
heating applications).
Direct action applies additional primary power as the process rises higher
above setpoint (e.g. cooling applications).
In dual control, secondary output action is opposite to primary action.
Control Status
A “read-only” diagnostic status display of the current loop 1 process variable
and effective setpoint values to assist with manual tuning.

The on-off control hysteresis (deadband) for PID Set n (n = up to 5). Adjustable
from 1 to 300 display units, centred about the setpoint – Only the set(s) in use
are shown.
Set n - Breakpoint
The SP or PV value where the PID Set n (n = up to 5) if gain scheduling is used.
Set 1 is used from Scaled Input Lower Limit to the Set 2 Breakpoint, then Set
2 used to the Set 3 Breakpoint etc. If a breakpoint is set to OFF subsequent
PID sets are not used. The final PID set runs to the Scaled Input Upper Limit.
Manual Reset (Bias)
The Manual Reset value to bias the control working point within the proportional band(s). Adjustable from 0 to 100% for single control or 100 to +100%
for dual control. Typically set to 80% of typical power needed for setpoint, but
lower values can help inhibit start-up overshoot.
Anti Wind-Up Limit
Adjusts the value at which the “reset wind-up inhibit” is applied. Above this
power level further integral action is suspended. Adjustable from 10 to 100%
of PID power. Lower values inhibit overshoot.
Caution: If set too low control deviation can occur (the process settles, but is offset above or below the setpoint). It this is observed,
increase the value until the deviation error is removed.
Ratio SFAC
The nominal ratio scaling factor used for Stoichiometric Ratio Control in burner fuel/air control applications. Adjustable from 0.010 to 99.999. – refer to the
Ratio Control section.
Ratio NO
A constant between 0.0 & 9999.0, added to the x1 (input 1) value in Stoichiometric Ratio Control mode to allow for atomizing air when calculating the process value. The total air flow is therefore x1 + NO
Primary Cycle Time
The primary power cycle time. Adjustable from 0.5 to 512 seconds. Applied for
time proportioned primary relay, SSR driver or triac control outputs – Not used
for VMD Control modes.
Secondary Cycle Time

Select Active Setpoint
Select if the main or alternate setpoint is to be the current “active” setpoint for
this loop.
Main Setpoint Offset
An offset that can be added to the main setpoint (+ve values) or subtracted
from it (-ve values) when the instrument is a comms slave in a multi-zone application. This changes the effective setpoint used for control.
Caution: It should be set to zero if an offset is not required.
Alternate Setpoint
Offset
An offset that can be added to the alternate setpoint (+ve values) or subtracted
from it (-ve values) when the instrument is a comms slave in a multi-zone application. This changes the effective setpoint used for control.
Caution: It should be set to zero if an offset is not required.

+
to return to Input Menu
These settings apply to the slave loop if the controller has been setup for cascade control.
Control Select
Select from Control Standard or Control VMD (TPSC).
Use Control VMD to directly drive the windings of a motorized valve. This uses
a 3-point stepping algorithm giving “open” and “close” outputs.
Use Standard for all other applications (including solenoid valves or modulating valves with positioning circuitry requiring mA or VDC signals).
Control Enable/Disable
Used to temporarily disable the control outputs. Select control Enabled (normal) or Disabled – when disabled, control output(s) for this loop are turned off
(unless manual mode has been selected) and the setpoint value is replaced
by “OFF”.
Caution: The instrument is not able to control the process when
control is disabled and the Output Power Limits are ignored.
39
Auto/Manual Control
Selection
Switches the control loop between Automatic and Manual Control.
Control Type
Select Single Control for primary control only (e.g. heating only or cooling
only) or Dual for primary and secondary control outputs (e.g. heating and
cooling) - Dual is not possible with Ratio or VMD Control.
Primary Control
Action
Set the primary control output for Reverse or Direct Action. Reverse action
applies additional primary power as the process falls further below setpoint
(e.g. heating applications). Direct action applies additional primary power as
the process rises higher above setpoint (e.g. cooling applications). In dual
control, secondary output action is opposite to primary action.
Control Status
A “read-only” diagnostic status display of the current loop 2 process variable and effective setpoint values to assist with manual tuning.
Power Output Levels
A “read-only” diagnostic status display of the current loop 2 primary and
secondary % output power levels to assist with manual tuning – Not shown
with VMD Control. Does not apply if control is disabled or in manual mode.
Gain Schedule PID
Set in use
A “read-only” diagnostic status display showing the PID set in use. The set
use may vary based on the current setpoint or process variable value. – Only
shown if Gain Scheduling is in use.
PID Set Selection
Choose to use one of five PID Sets; or choose Gain Schedule on SP or PV.
– This selects a fixed PID set to be “Active”; or automatically switch sets
based changes in SP or PV values.
Set n – Primary Pb
The primary proportional band for PID Set n (n = up to 5). Set as On-Off
control, or a proportional band from 1 to 9999 display units – Only the set(s)
in use are shown.
Set n – Secondary Pb
The secondary proportional band for PID Set n (n = up to 5) if dual control is
used. Set as On-Off control, or a proportional band from 1 to 9999 display
units – Only the set(s) in use are shown.
Set n – Integral
The integral time value (Automatic Reset) for PID Set n (n = up to 5). Adjustable from 1s to 99min 59s or OFF – Only the set(s) in use are shown.
Set n – Derivative
The derivative time value (Rate) for PID Set n (n = up to 5). Adjustable from
1s to 99 min 59s or OFF – Only the set(s) in use are shown.
Set n – Overlap
The overlap (+ve) or deadband (-ve) between primary & secondary proportional bands for PID Set n (n = up to 5). In display units - limited to 20% of
the combined primary & secondary prop band width.
Set n - Breakpoint
The SP or PV value where the PID Set n (n = up to 5) if gain scheduling is
used. Set 1 is used from Scaled Input Lower Limit to the Set 2 Breakpoint,
then Set 2 used to the Set 3 Breakpoint etc. If a breakpoint is set to OFF
subsequent PID sets are not used. The final PID set runs to the Scaled Input
Upper Limit.
Manual Reset (Bias)
The Manual Reset value to bias the control working point within the proportional band(s). Adjustable from 0 to 100% for single control or 100 to +100%
for dual control. Typically set to 80% of typical power needed for setpoint,
but lower values can help inhibit start-up overshoot.
Anti Wind-Up Limit
Adjusts the value at which the “reset wind-up inhibit” is applied. Above this
power level further integral action is suspended. Adjustable from 10 to 100%
of PID power. Lower values inhibit overshoot.
Caution: Manual mode overrides the automatic control loop. It
also ignores any output power limits, valve open/close limits and
the control enable/disable setting. The operator is responsible for
maintaining the process within safe limits.
Caution: If set too low control deviation can occur (the process
settles, but is offset above or below the setpoint). It this is observed, increase the value until the deviation error is removed.
40
Primary Cycle Time

9 Input Calibration & Multi-point Scaling
User Calibration
Single Point Calibration
The process inputs can be adjusted to remove sensor
errors or to match the characteristics of the attached
process. For each loop, independent use of base (unadjusted), single point offset or two point calibration
strategies are possible, as is the use of multi-point
scaling for the displayed values of linear inputs. These
parameters are in the Input 1 & 2 calibration sub-menus
of Input Configuration Sub-Menu Screens.
This is a ‘zero offset’ applied to the process variable
across the entire span. Positive values are added to the
reading, negative values are subtracted. It can be used
if the error is constant across the range, or the user
is only interested in a single critical value. To use, select Single Point Calibration from the input calibration
menu, and simply enter a value equal, but opposite to
the observed error to correct the reading.
Single Point
‘Offset Calibration’
value
Incorrect use of Calibration & Scaling can
make the displayed value very different from
the actual process variable. There is no front
panel indication of when these parameters are
in use.

Note: These methods do not alter the internal instrument calibration. Simply choose Base Calibration to restore normal measured values.
Re-calibration of the internal base values is possible, but should only be attempted by qualified personnel as it overwrites the factory calibration – see
Base Calibration Adjustment below if you think this
may be required.

Re-calibration of the internal base values is possible,
but should only be attempted by qualified personnel as

Figure 44. Single Point Calibration
This example shows a positive offset value. For example: If the process displays 27.8 when it should read
30, The error is -2.2 so an applied offset of +2.2 would
change the displayed value to 30.
Calibration Reminder
If the Data Recorder feature is fitted, a calibration reminder can be set for a future date. From this date a
daily reminder is shown (and shown at every start-up),
until a new date has been set. This is useful in applications that require a regular check of the measured accuracy – see Input Configuration Sub-Menu Screens.
The same offset is applied to all values, so at 100.0 the
new displayed value would be 102.2.
57
Two Point Calibration
Multi-point Scaling
This method is used where an error is not constant
across the range. Separate offsets are applied at two
points in the range to eliminate both “zero” and “span”
errors. To use:
If an input is connected to a linear input signal (mA, mV
or VDC), multi-point scaling can be enabled. This allows the linearization of a non-linear signal. – see Input
Configuration Sub-Menu Screens.
1. Measure and record the error at a low point in the
process.
The Scale Input Upper & Lower Limits define the values
shown when the input is at its minimum and maximum
values. Up to 15 breakpoints can scale the input vs.
displayed value between these limits. It is advisable to
concentrate the break points in the area of the range
with the most non-linearity, or an area of particular importance to the application.
2. Measure and record the error at a high point in the
process.
3. Go to the first two point input calibration screen.
a. Enter the desired low point value as the Calibration Low PV value.
b. Enter an equal, but opposite value to the observed error as the Calibration Low Offset to correct the error at the low point.

Base Calibration Adjustment
Calibration of each input type is carried out during
manufacture. This can be verified in the Service and
Product Info screens.
A high end value of 100.0 with a -1.7 offset would read
98.3.
Re-calibration of the internal base values is possible,
but should only be attempted by qualified personnel
as it overwrites the factory calibration. For most applications, base re-calibration is not required during the
lifetime of the instrument.
There is a linear relationship between these two calibration points.
Choose values as near as possible to the bottom and top of your usable span to achieve
maximum calibration accuracy. The effect of
any error can grow at values beyond the chosen calibration points.

ELECTRIC SHOCK/FIRE HAZARD. Any calibration adjustment must only be performed by
personnel who are technically competent and
authorized to do so. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
Performing a Calibration Check
1. Setup input 1 for the input signal type to be checked.
2. Power up the instrument and correctly connect the
signal source. Leave powered up for at least five
minutes for RTD and DC linear inputs, and at least
30 minutes for thermocouple inputs.
The equipment used must be in a known good state of
calibration.
3. After the appropriate delay for stabilisation, check
the calibration at a number of cardinal points by applying the appropriate input signal. The observed
readings should be within the tolerances stated in
the specifications.
Required Equipment
To verify the accuracy of the instrument or to carry out
recalibration, a suitable calibration signal source is required for each input type as listed below. Accuracy
must be better than ±0.05% of reading:
4. Test the other signal types as above if required.
5. Repeat the process for input 2 if fitted.
1. DC linear inputs: 0 to 50mV, 0 to 10VDC and 0 to
20mADC.
2. Thermocouple inputs - complete with 0ºC reference
facility, appropriate thermocouple functions and
compensating lead wire.
Recalibration Procedure
Note: The 50 mV calibration phase MUST always be
calibrated before calibration of the thermocouple
input.
For each process input, recalibration is carried out in
six phases as shown in the table below; each phase
corresponds to a basic input type.

to skip to next screen accepting the values shown.
A total of 9 physical digital inputs are possible on this
instrument. A multiple digital input can be installed at
time of purchase, and a single plug-in module can be
fitted in option slot A.
Digital Signal Type
The digital inputs can be connected to volt-free contacts, or to a voltage signal (compatible with TTL). They
can often be used in parallel with equivalent menu selections, where either can change function status.
Highlighted Input
Some inputs are level sensitive, while others are edge
sensitive requiring a High to Low or Low to High transition to change functions status. Pre-Tune is always off
at power-up (except if auto pre-tune is enabled), but
other edge sensitive functions retain their power off
status at power on. See the tables below for details.
Soft Digital Inputs
In addition to the physical digital inputs, four “soft” digital inputs are available. They are used to select functions in the same way as the physical inputs.
Open contacts (>5000Ώ) or 2 to 24VDC signal = Logic
High (logic low if inverted). Closed contacts (<50Ώ) or
-0.6 to +0.8VDC signal = Logic Low (logic high if inverted).
The response time is ≥0.25 seconds. Signals
applied for less than this time may not register
and the function might not change state.
A diagnostic screen assists commissioning and fault
finding by showing the current signal state for all digital
inputs.
The four soft digital inputs can be configured by combining physical inputs, alarms & events using Boolean
logic. Input AND selections are then globally OR’d with
the input OR selections, the alarms & the events. By
using the invert inputs function, NAND & NOR equivalents can be created.

Profile Selection via Digital Inputs
For instruments with the profiler option, the multi-digital input option can be used to select the profile to run using
either a standard binary bit pattern, or binary coded decimal from BCD switches. Profile selection inputs are all
level sensitive ( ), with a high/open signal equating to a binary 1 (assuming non-inverted), and a low/closed signal
equating to a binary 0 (assuming non-inverted).
Profiles are numbered 0 to 63. Select inputs C1 to Cn for the required number of profiles, from the table:
C1 to C2

Using BCD to Select Profile Numbers
A single BCD switch can be used to select profiles 0 to 9 using C1 to C4, with a bit pattern identical to standard
binary. For larger numbers, a double BCD switch arrangement is needed. A separate binary pattern is applied to
C5 to C7 for the “tens” digit (10 = 001, 20 = 010, 30 = 011 etc).
Any number combination higher than 63 is invalid.

11 Cascade Control
Applications with long time lags (e.g. with two or more
capacities such as heated jackets) can be difficult to
control with a single control loop. The solution is to split
the process into two or more cascaded loops consisting of a Master and Slave(s) acting on a common actuator. Ideally, the slave loop’s natural response time
should be at least 5 times faster than the master.
As the oil temperature rises towards the slave setpoint,
its output falls. Gradually, the product temperature will
also begin rising, at a rate dependant on the transfer
rate/lag between the oil jacket and the product. Eventually this causes the master’s PID output to decrease,
reducing the slave setpoint. The oil temperature is reduced towards the new slave setpoint. This continues
until the system becomes balanced. The result is quicker, smoother control with the ability to cope with changes in the load. Overshoot is minimized and the jacket
temperature is kept within acceptable tolerances.
The master controller measures the process temperature and compares it to the desired product setpoint.
Its correcting variable (0 to 100% PID output) becomes
the slave’s effective setpoint (scaled to suit the process). This setpoint is compared to the slave’s process
input, and the controlling actuator is adjusted accordingly.
Normal Cascade Operation
During operation, the master and slave are coupled together and. “Cascade” is displayed. The master process value and setpoint are most relevant to the user.
The master setpoint is directly adjustable. The process
value of the slave controller is displayed for information
only.
Note: Cascade control is only available on models
fitted with the 2nd control loop. The master loop
uses input 1; and the slave loop uses input 2.
Example Cascade Application
Cascade-Open
In this example the controlling actuator is a heater,
indirectly heating the product via an oil jacket. The
maximum input to the slave represents 300ºC, thus
restricting the jacket temperature. At start-up the master compares the product temperature (ambient) to its
setpoint (250ºC) and gives 100%. This sets the maximum slave setpoint (300ºC), which is compared to the
oil temperature (ambient) and the slave requests maximum heater output.
The cascade can be disconnected (via digital inputs or
menu selection), switching from normal operation to direct control of the slave. “Cascade-Open” is displayed.
Opening the cascade is “Bumpless”. The current cascade value is used as the initial slave setpoint (displayed as “SlaveSP”). The process is then controlled
and adjusted solely by the slave controller using this
setpoint. Switching back to Cascade is also bumpless.

Cascade Tuning
To manually tune a cascade:
The user can tune the slave and master loops manually, or use the pre-tune feature (see Controller Tuning).
1.Select Cascade-Open from the Cascade Control
menu, breaking the link between the master and
slave loops.
In either case the slave control loop must first be optimized on its own, followed by the master loop in combination with the previously tuned slave.
2. Set the slave controller setpoint manually to the appropriate value for your application.
3. Tune the slave for relatively fast control (‘proportional only’ is often sufficient).
To automatically pre-tune a cascade:
1. Go to the Automatic Tuning menu
4. Select Cascade-Closed from the Cascade Control
menu to link the master and slave loops, then tune
the master/slave combination.
2. Select “Cascade-Open” from the pre-tune menu to
tune the PID set(s) on the slave.
3. After the slave has successfully tuned, pre-tune the
master/slave combination by selecting “CascadeClosed” from the pre-tune menu.
Note: The cascade remains open until you pre-tune
the master or manually select Cascade-Closed.

12 Ratio Control
A ratio control loop is used where the quantity of one
of the material is to be controlled in proportion to the
measured quantity of a second material. The controller
mixes the materials at the desired ratio by adjusting the
flow of input 1. The flow of input 2 may be controlled
separately, but is not controlled by the ratio control
loop itself.
fected by this control loop. Atomizing air is fed in with
the fuel oil at a constant rate ‘NO’. This must be considered when calculating the correct fuel/air mix. Total
airflow is x1 + NO. The stoichiometric factor, SFac is
entered to match the desired ratio. E.g for 10 parts total
airflow to one part fuel, SFac would be 10.
The setpoint (entered as a relative value such as 1.00)
is multiplied by SFac when calculating the control deviation. E.g. with a setpoint of 1.00 and SFac of 10 the
controller attempts to make the physical ratio 10. With
a setpoint of 1.03 it would attempt to make the ratio
10.3 for 3% excess air.
The process value used by the controller is therefore
determined by the ratio of the two inputs rather than a
single measured variable.
Note: Ratio control is available on models with the
2nd Auxiliary Input, or two loop models. The feature
and information displayed is optimized for control
of burner fuel/air, but can be used in other flow ratio
applications.
The instantaneous (controlled) process value is calculated from the physical ratio, divided by SFac. Like the
setpoint, this is displayed as relative value.
E.g. if SFac is 10, with 59.5m3/h airflow measured at
x1, 0.5m3/h atomising air applied at NO and 6m3/h fuel
is measured at x2, the instantaneous process value
would be:

is set so that there are no flammable residues in the
waste gas.

If fuel flow remained at 6m3/h and the setpoint was
adjusted to 1.05 (5% excess air), the controller would
increase the x1 air flow to 62.5m3/h.

Figure 48. Ratio Control Example
It is normal in this application to display the process
value and setpoint as relative values rather than the
physical ratio or absolute values. A scaling factor is set
such that the displayed value will be 1.00 at the correct
stoichiometric ratio for the application.

Inputs 1 and 2 are configured and scaled to match the
attached flow meters. In this example a 4 to 20mA signal at x1 represents 0 to 1000m3/h of airflow controlled

13 Redundant Input
Note: The user may not even be aware of a sensor fault, so it is strongly recommended that signal
break alarms are configured for both inputs to provide a notification if problems occur.
If the 2nd universal input is fitted, the second input can
be configured as a redundant input for the main process input. This increases process security by protecting against the possible loss of valuable product resulting from sensor failure.
The redundant sensor must be of the same type, and
be correctly located in the application ready to take
over if needed. If the redundant input option is selected, the 2nd input cannot be used for other functions.
A second sensor is connected to input 2 so that if the
main sensor fails, the instrument automatically switches to this backup or “redundant” sensor. In this condition, if input 1 has a signal break alarm configured
it will activate, but any other process input or control
status alarms seamlessly switch to the 2nd input. The
2nd input continues to be used until the signal to input
1 is restored.
Note: If both signals are lost at the same time, the
PV value display is replaced with “OPEN” and the
normal sensor break actions occur.

14 Valve Motor Drive / 3-Point Stepping Control
imum motor voltage when using the internal relays/triacs is therefore 120 V unless interposing
relays are used. Interposing relays or other devices used to control the valve must themselves be
rated for twice the motor supply voltage. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
When directly controlling the motor of a modulating
valve or damper, set the Control Mode to VMD in configuration mode to enable the 3-point stepping Valve
Motor Drive control algorithm.
The term “3-point stepping” is used because there are
3 output states, open valve, close valve or stopped (no
action). Switched outputs move the valve further open,
or further closed when a control deviation error is detected. If the error is reduced to zero, no further output
is required until the load conditions change.
Switching actuators directly connected to the valve
motor must only be used up to half of their rated voltage. The internal relay and triac outputs in this instrument are rated at 240VAC Therefore, the maximum motor voltage when using them is therefore 120V unless
interposing relays are used. Interposing relays or other
devices used to control the valve must themselves be
rated for twice the motor supply voltage.
VMD mode doesn’t allow on-off control (the minimum
proportional band equates to 0.5% of the scaled input
span) and usually requires PI control, where the derivative parameter is set to OFF.
Note: Some modulating valves have positioning circuitry to adjust the valve position. These require a
DC linear mA or voltage output and use the standard
control algorithm (Set Control Mode to Standard).
Position Feedback
In VMD mode this instrument uses a boundless (openloop) 3-point stepping algorithm. It does not require
any kind of position feedback in order to correctly control the process and can therefore avoids problems associated with faulty feedback signals.
Special Wiring Considerations for Valve
Motor Control
Valve motor drive mode must have two identical outputs assigned to position the valve. One to open and
one to close the valve. These outputs can be two single
relays, two triacs, two SSR drivers or one dual relay,
but it is recommended to use two single relays (SPDT
change-over contacts), and to interlock the wiring as
shown. This prevents both motor windings from being
driven at the same time, even under fault conditions.
However, where valve feedback is available it can still
be displayed in a bar-graph as a percentage open (0
to 100%). Position feedback is usually provided by
means of a potentiometer mechanically linked to the
valve. The output of a related flow meter can also be
used to indicate the relative valve position. Flow meters
typically have linear 0-20/4-20mA or 0-5/0-10V signals.
To display the position/flow signal the 2nd input is must
be configured for this purpose.

Setpoint Sources
Loop 2 Setpoint Sources
The setpoint is the target value at which the instrument
attempts to maintain the process variable. Each loop
can have a Main “local” setpoint set from the keypad
and an Alternate setpoint.
Loop 2 can have a Main “local” setpoint set from the
keypad and an Alternate setpoint. The alternate setpoint source can be either another local Setpoint” or
a remote setpoint (RSP), set by a mA or V DC signal
applied to auxiliary input A. The control loop can only
use one setpoint source at a time for each loop. This
is called the “Active Setpoint”. If the profiler option is
fitted this provides the setpoint, replacing both main
an alternate setpoints, when 2-loop profiling is in use.
Loop 1 Setpoint Sources
Loop 1 can have a Main “local” setpoint set from the
keypad and an Alternate setpoint. The alternate setpoint source can be either another local Setpoint or a
remote setpoint (RSP), set by a mA or V DC signal applied to the 2nd input or to auxiliary input A. The control
loop can only use one setpoint source at a time for
each loop. This is called the “Active Setpoint”. If the
profiler option is fitted this provides the setpoint when
the profiler is in use, replacing both main an alternate
setpoints.
Main/alternate setpoint selection can be made via a
digital input; from the Control Configuration menu or
if enabled in the Display Configuration sub-menu, an
operator screen can be used to select the setpoint. The
chosen setpoint selection method can be used to permanently select one of the setpoints, or allow switching
between them.
Main/alternate setpoint selection can be made via a
digital input; from the Control Configuration menu or

Refer to the Control Configuration Sub-Menu Screens
for setpoint settings.
Loop 2 Profile Setpoint
If the selected profile was configured to control the
setpoint of both loops, it will provide the active setpoint source. Once profile control mode is exited, the
selected main or alternate setpoint for loop 2 becomes
active again.
Refer to the Control Configuration Sub-Menu Screens
on page 50 for setpoint settings.
Loop 1 Profile Setpoint
When in profile control mode, the selected profile always provides the active setpoint source for loop 1.
Once profile control mode is exited, the selected main
or alternate setpoint for loop 1 becomes active again.

16 Profiler
Introduction
more segments. The header information is unique for
each profile, it contains the profile’s name; if it controls
just one or both loops; how it should start & stop; the
abort & power-loss recovery actions; and how many
times it should be repeated.
The Profiler feature allows the user to store up to 255
profile segments, shared between a maximum of 64
Profiles. Each profile controls the value of the setpoint
over time; increasing, decreasing or holding their values as required. The profile can control both setpoints
if the 2nd control loop is fitted.
Note: Profile Header information is only stored to
memory as the Segment creation sequence begins.
No profile is created if you exit before this point.
Segment information is stored as each segment is
created, but the profile remains invalid until an end
or join segment is defined.
Profiler options and screens are added to the Main
Menu and Operation Mode.
Segment information is stored as each segment is created, but the profile remains invalid until an end or join
segment is defined.
This section covers the Profiler (or setpoint programmer) option. To confirm if profiling is enabled on your
controller, refer to the Service & Product Info menu.
Profiler Enabling
Segments can be ramps, dwells, steps or special segments such as holds, ends, joins or loop-backs.
Controllers supplied without the Profiler option installed can be upgraded by purchasing a licence code
number. Refer to the Field Upgrade information.
If the instrument also has the data recorder option, its
real time clock (RTC) expands the profiling capabilities
by adding Day & Time profile start options, releasing
of hold segments at a specific time of day and changing the power fail recovery option to one based on the
length of time the power has been off. These features
are explained below and in the Profiler Setup and Profile Control menus.
To obtain the correct code you must tell your supplier
the instrument serial number – this can be found in the
Service & Product Info menu.

Profile Starting & Standard Segments
.
The example profile below explains the standard segment types required to make a simple profile or profile
sequence. A Start Trigger is the instruction to begin the
selected profile. This can be from the profile control
menu, a digital input signal, via a serial communications command or if enabled in the display configuration, the profile can be controlled from an operator
screen.
Profile Components
General profile configuration settings apply to all profiles. They enable or disable “profile editing while running”, and automatic starting of the selected profile if
it has been configured with a delay or day & time start
trigger.
If delay or day & time start triggers are disabled, profiles can only be manually started, and this is with immediate effect even if they have a delay or day & time
trigger defined. If delay or day & time start triggers are
enabled, delayed starts are possible, and if the selected profile has a day & time trigger it will wait until the
time set and before starting.
Following a Start Trigger, profiles can start immediately, after a delay, or using the Day & Time start timer
(Day & Time start available on with the Recorder option
only). Following the start trigger, the remaining delay
time or the start day & time are shown in the profile
status bar-graph until the profile begins running.
Note: Profiles outside current setpoint limits will not
run, A “profile not valid” error shows if you attempt to
run a profile under these circumstances.
Note: Even if profile editing is enabled, changes
to the current and next segment or a running profile will not take effect until the profile is next run.
Changes to other segments will take effect immediately.

Figure 49. Profile Starting and Standard Segment Types
Ramps and Step Segments have target setpoint that
they will reach as they finish. If a segment is a RampTime type, the slope needed to reach the target setpoint in the defined time will change depending on the
starting setpoint value. For a Ramp-Rate segment, the
slope is defined by the segments Ramp Rate, so the
time to reach the target setpoint will change instead.
This is of particular significance for the first segment,
since the starting value of the process may not be
known in advance.
The example below shows how two loop profiling
works in practice. Auto-Hold settings and target setpoints are independent for each loop, but the segment
types and time settings are the same.
Note: When using the instrument as a two loop profiler Ramp-Rate type segments are not available.
Calculate the time from the starting value to the
target setpoint and use Ramp-Time instead.
A Dwell (often called a “soak”) holds the previous setpoint
value for the specified dwell time. Step segments jump
straight to the new target setpoint value. An End segment
ends the profile or profile sequence. If the last segment is
a Join, the “join target” profile will begin running.
Seg. u & v shows a ramp and a dwell with the shared
time base The ramp direction can be different (Seg. w),
and although one loop cannot ramp while the other
dwells, a “dwell” is achieved by a ramp with its final
setpoint value at the same value as the previous segment (Seg. x). Similarly, if only one loop is to Step to
a new value, make the other “step” to its existing setpoint value. If you later change the previous setpoint,
you may have to change both segments.
Note: If the join target has been deleted the profile
sequence will abort and the last profiles abort action will apply.
Two Loop Profiles
If the instrument is configured to control two control
loops, the setpoint of both loops can be maintained
when profiling. Both setpoints are synchronized to a
common segment time-base, but have independent
target setpoints for each of the segments.
The Loop-back feature takes both loops back to the
same defined earlier segment.
Note: When using the instrument as a two loop profiler Ramp-Rate type segments are not available.
Calculate the time from the starting value to the
target setpoint and use Ramp-Time instead.
Note: Auto-Hold settings are independent for each
loop. Either loop can cause the profile to auto-hold,
holding both loops at the current setpoint value.
The profile continues only when both loops are
back within their hold bands.
69
Loop-Back Segments
A Hold Segment is a pre-planned hold programmed
into the profile. It maintains the value of the previous
segment and the profile does not continue until a Continue Trigger occurs. This can be via a key-press, serial communications, a digital input signal or after waiting until a pre-set time of day (time of day is available
with the recorder option only).
A Loop-back segment goes back to a specified segment in the current profile. This action is repeated for
the required number of times (1 to 9999) before the
profile continues onwards. More than one Loop Segment can be used in a profile, but they cannot cross.
Loop-back target segment
The Auto-Hold Feature
There are independent auto-hold settings for each segment of each loop controlled by the profile. When utilized, auto-hold ensures that the profile and the actual
processes remain synchronized. If the process does
not closely match the setpoints (within the defined
Hold Bands), the profile will be held until it returns
within bounds. When Auto-Hold becomes active, the
profile status is shown as “Held”.

Note: The segment time is increased by the time
that the process is out of bounds, extending the total profile run time.
Example: Runs segments 1 to 5, then
repeats segments 3 to 5 again 500 times,
before continuing on to segments 7
Auto-hold can be configured to hold the profile if the
process goes beyond the hold band Above the Setpoint only, Below the Setpoint only or it can be set to
Band (either side of the setpoint).
Figure 50. Loop-back Segments
Note: For two-loop profiles, either loop can cause
the profile to hold. The entire profile (i.e. both loops)
will be held if either process is outside of its autohold band. It continues only when both loops are
back within their auto-hold bands.

A Hold condition during a segment maintains the current profile setpoint value(s). Once the hold condition
is stopped the Ramp or Dwell continues. The user can
request that the profile holds, or it can be instigated
automatically.

During a Dwell, the dwell time is increased by the time
that the process is outside of the hold band in the selected direction(s). This ensures the process was at the
desired level for the required amount of time.
Note: A running segment will hold if the operator
or a digital input instructs it to. It can also hold due
to “auto-hold”, if one of the profile control loops is
disabled, if a cascade is set to “open” or if manual
control is selected.

Auto Hold on Ramps
During a Ramp segment, the ramp is held at the current setpoint value while the process is outside of the

Note: Recorder versions always use option E (Continue profile) if the “off time” is less than the Profile
Recovery Time setting. If the “off time” is longer,
the defined Profile Recovery Method is used.
If the power is cut or the input signal is lost while a profile is running, the instrument will use the defined Profile Recovery Method once the signal / power returns.
The profile recovery method is set in the profile header.

End the profile and maintain the setpoint value(s) from the time the power failed.
End the profile and use Controller Setpoint value (s).
End the profile with the Control outputs off - setpoint value replaced by “OFF”.
Restart the profile again from the beginning.
Continue profile from the point it had reached when the power failed

Profile Abort Actions
Once a running profile ends, that profiles’ Segment
End Type defines the action taken by the instrument.
If a sequence of profiles are joined together, the End
Segment Type of the last profile in the sequence will be
carried out when it completes. The end segment type
is set in the final profile segment data.
If a running profile is forced to end early, the Profile
Abort Action defines action taken by the instrument.
The profile abort action is set in the profile header.
If a profile sequence is forced to end early, the profile
abort action of the current segment will be used.
The possible abort options are explained below.

17 USB Interface
Note: To speed up the disk operation, keep the
number of files in these folders to a minimum.
The features in this section are available on models fitted with the optional USB Interface.
Using the USB Port
The first recorder log file is named 001-0001.csv. A
new file is created with the first 3 digits incremented
(e.g. 002-0001.csv; 003-0001.csv etc) each time the
data being recorded is changed. The last 4 digits increment (e.g. 001-0002.csv; 001-0003.csv etc) if the
file size reaches 65535 lines, if a recording is stopped
then re-started or if there is a period of >10s without an
alarm when recording from an alarm trigger.
The USB Interface can be used to upload or download
instrument settings to or from a USB memory stick
(FAT32 formatted). Easy configuration of multiple instruments is achieved by copying from one instrument
to another, or by transferring data from the PC configuration software. If the Data Recorder or Profiler options
are fitted, recordings and profile information can also
be transferred via USB memory stick. Refer also to the
USB menu.
USB Memory Stick Folders & Files
Do not remove the memory stick during data
transfer. Data corruption may result.
When a USB stick is inserted, the instrument looks for,
and if necessary creates the DEVICE, CONFIG, PROFILE and RECORDER folders. Files must be located
in these folders in order to be used by the instrument.
When preparing to upload files from your PC, ensure
that you save them to the correct folder on the memory
stick.
During data transfer, normal operations carry
on in the background, but operator access is
denied. Transfer of full memory can take up to
20 minutes. Only begin a transfer when access
to the instrument (e.g. setpoint changes) will
not be required.
If the file name already exists, data will be
overwritten.
DEVICE – This folder must be located in the
Root of the USB memory stick
CONFIG – Configuration files (*.bct)
PROFILE – Profile program files (*.pfl)
RECORDER – Recorder log folders/files The
user is asked for a new recorder sub-folder
name before transferring recorder data to USB.
The instrument stores the log files (*.csv) in this
folder.

Data Recorder
The optional Data Recorder allows the recording of process conditions to memory over time. It operates independently from the Trend Views. The recorder includes
1Mb of flash memory to store data when powered down
and a real time clock (RTC) with a battery backup.
Recorder status and manual record trigger control can
optionally be added to Operation Mode. This is enabled
or disabled in the Display Configuration sub-menu.
Note: The recorder control screens allow the manual
trigger to be started or stopped, but recording will
continue as long as any trigger that has been configured is active.
Servicing of the Data Recorder/RTC circuit and
replacement of the internal lithium battery should
be carried out by only a trained technician.
Uploading Data
Recordings can be transferred to a memory stick using
the USB Port. They can also be uploaded directly to the
PC software via the configuration port or RS485/Ethernet
communications if fitted.
Recordable Values
A selection of values can be recorded for each control
loop, from: Process Variable; Maximum or Minimum
Process Values (since the previous sample); Setpoints;
Primary Power, Secondary Power or Auxiliary Input
values. Additionally the status of Alarms and Profiler
Events can be recorded, as can when the unit is turned
On/Off. See the Recorder Configuration sub-menu.
The data is stored in Comma Separated format (.csv)
which can be opened and analysed with the optional PC
software or opened directly into a spreadsheet. Many
third party software programs can also import data in the
.csv format.
Sampling rates between 1 second and 30 minutes are
possible, with the data either recorded until all memory
is used, or with a continuous “First In/First Out” buffer
overwriting the oldest data when full.
The file contains a header identifying the source instruments serial number, the date of the file upload and descriptions of the data columns.
The data columns seen depends on the data selected to
record, but will always include the date and time of each
sample. The date format follows the instrument date format selection. Date(en) is dd/mm/yyyy, and Date (us) is
mm/dd/yyyy.
The recording capacity is dependent on sample rate
and number of values recorded. For example: Two analogue values will recorded for 21 days at 30s intervals.
More values or faster sample rates reduce the duration
proportionally.
Note: Analysis with the PC software is limited to 8 analogue channels, so only the first 8 will be displayed.
The number of recorded alarms & events is not limited.
Note: If recorded, each alarm/event change forces an
extra sample to be recorded, reducing the remaining
recording time available. If these are likely to change
often, take this into account when determining if there
is sufficient memory available.
Additional Features & Benefits from
the Recorder
Recorder Control and Status
The real time clock (RTC) included with the data recorder
also expands the profiling capabilities (see Profiler) and
allows a “calibration due” reminder to be shown at a
specified date (see the Input Configuration sub-menu).
Options for starting/stopping recordings include Manually
(from the recorder menu or a screen added to operation
mode); a Digital Input; during a Running Profile; or Record
on Alarm. See the Recorder Configuration sub-menu.
The recorder control menu allows the manual trigger to
be started or stopped, as well as deleting recorded data
from memory.
A status screen is shown with current information about
the recorder, including if a recording is in progress (Recording or Stopped); the recording mode (FIFO or Record
Until Memory Is Used); a % memory use bar-graph and
the estimated available time remaining based on the data
selected and memory used.

Controller Tuning
PID Sets & Gain Scheduling
Up to 5 sets of PID tuning terms can be entered for each
control loop, allowing the instrument to be pre-set for
differing conditions. Each set has individual values for
the following parameters: Primary Proportional Band;
Secondary Proportional Band; On-Off Differential; Integral Time; Derivative time; Overlap/Deadband. The parameter values can be entered in the control configuration sub menu (page 50), but also see Automatic Tuning
below for automatic tuning of the PID sets.
Note: ON/OFF control is possible with the individual
PID sets but cannot be used with gain scheduling. On/
off control is replaced with the default proportional
band if gain scheduling is turned on.
The PID sets might be configured for different applications, or to allow for differing process or load conditions
that might occur in a single application. In this case one
set at a time would be selected as the “Active PID” set
for that loop.
Automatic Tuning
If the a change to the scale lower or upper limits forces
any of the breakpoints out of bounds, all breakpoints
will be turned off and the instruments uses the default
PID set 1.
To automatically optimize the controllers tuning terms
for the process, you can use Pre-Tune, Self-Tune or
Auto Pre-Tune independently for each control loop.
Note: Automatic tuning will not engage if either proportional band is set to On/Off control. Also, pre-tune
(including an auto pre-tune attempt) will not engage if
the setpoint is ramping, if a profile is running, or if the
Process Variable is <5% of span from setpoint.
Alternatively, if the process conditions change significantly during use (e.g. if it is partially exothermic as the
temperature rises) Gain Scheduling can be employed.
Gain scheduling ‘bumplessly’ switches PID sets automatically at successively higher setpoint or process values, giving optimal control across a wide range of process conditions. This is explained in the diagram below.
Pre-Tune
Pre-tune performs a single disturbance of the normal
start-up pattern so that a good approximation of the
ideal PID values can be made prior reaching setpoint. It
automatically stops running when the test is complete.
The user chooses which PID set the new tuning terms
will be applied to, but this selection does not change
the selected “active PID set”. This allows tuning of any
PID set for future use before return to control with the
current PID set.In VMD mode, derivative is not applied
by pre-tune, and the controller is optimized for PI control. In standard control mode, PI & D are all calculated,
which may not suit all processes.
Scale Upper Limit
PID Set 4
PV or SP

PID Set 2
Breakpoints
PID Set 5
There are two pre-tune modes with different process
test points. The first is “Standard Pre-Tune” which
tests the process response half-way from the activation
point (the process value when pre-tune began running)
to the current setpoint. The second type is “Pre-Tune at
Value” which allows the user to specify the exact point
at which the process test will occur.
PID Set 1
Scale Lower Limit
PID set 1 is used from the scaled input lower limit until
the “breakpoint” for set 2 is passed and that set becomes active.
Set 2 is then used until the breakpoint for Set 3 is
reached etc.
ELECTRIC SHOCK/FIRE HAZARD. Consider
possible process over-shoot when selecting the
value to tune at. If there is a risk of damage to
the product or equipment select a safe value.
Failure to follow these instructions could result
in personal injury or equipment damage.
If any breakpoint is set to OFF, the subsequent PID sets
are not used.
The final set continues from the last breakpoint to the
scaled input upper limit.
Gain Scheduling breakpoints can be selected to switch
PID sets with a change in the current setpoint value, or
the current process value.
76
During pre-tune, the controller outputs full primary
power until the process reaches the specified test
point. Power is then removed (full secondary power applied for dual control), causing an oscillation which the
pre-tune algorithm uses to calculate the proportional
band(s), integral and derivative time. The pre-tune process is shown below.

Self-Tune
Pre-tune is selected from the automatic tuning menu. It
will not engage if either primary or secondary outputs
on a controller are set for On-Off control, during setpoint/profile ramping or if the process variable is less
than 5% of the input span from the setpoint.
If engaged, self-tune uses a pattern recognition algorithm to continuously monitor and adjust for control
deviation. It optimizes the tuning by applying new PID
terms to the current Active PID set while the controller is operating. In VMD control mode, derivative is not
applied by self-tune, and the controller is optimized for
PI control.
Note: To pre-tune a cascade, first select “CascadeOpen” to tune the PID set(s) on the slave. After the
slave has successfully tuned, remember to pre-tune
the master/slave combination (this time select “Cascade-Closed”). The cascade remains open until you
do this.
Setpoint 2
Temperature
Auto Pre-Tune
As a single-shot operation, pre-tune will automatically
disengage once complete, but can be configured to
run at every power up using the auto pre-tune function.
If auto pre-tune is selected, a Standard Pre-tune will
attempt to run at every power up, applying new tuning terms to the current Active PID set. Auto pre-tune
will not be able to test the process if at the time the
controller is powered up, either primary or secondary
outputs are set for On-Off control, during setpoint/profile ramping or if the process variable is less than 5% of
the input span from the setpoint. Auto pre-tune is not
possible with cascade control mode.

Process Variable
The diagram shows a typical application involving
a process start up, setpoint change and load disturbance. In each case, self-tune observes one complete
oscillation before calculating new terms. Successive
deviations cause the values to be recalculated converging towards optimal control. When the controller
is switched off, these terms are stored and used as
starting values at switch on. The stored values may not
always be ideal, if for instance the controller is new or
the application has changed. In this case the user can
use pre-tune to establish new initial values for self-tune
to fine-tune.
Time
Use of continuous self-tuning is not always appropriate. For example frequent artificial load disturbances,
such as where an oven door is often left open for extended periods, might lead to calculation errors. In
standard control mode, PI & D are all calculated, which
may not suit all processes. Self-Tune cannot be engaged if the instrument is set for on-off control or with
cascade control mode.

This tuning technique balances the need to reach setpoint quickly, with the desire to limit setpoint overshoot
at start-up and during process changes. It determines
values for the primary & secondary proportional bands,
and the integral and derivative time constants that allow the controller to give acceptable results in most
applications using dual control (e.g. Heat & Cool).
This technique balances the need to reach setpoint
quickly, with the desire to limit setpoint overshoot at
start-up or during process changes. It determines values for the primary proportional band and the integral
and derivative time constants that allow the controller
to give acceptable results in most applications that use
a single control device.
These techniques are suitable only for processes that are not harmed by large fluctuations in the process variable.
This technique is suitable only for processes
that are not harmed by large fluctuations in the
process variable.
Method 1 – For Simple Processes
1. Check that the scaled input limits and the setpoint
limits are set to safe and appropriate levels for your
process. Adjust if required.
Use this method if the process is simple/easily controlled and the relative power available from the primary and secondary actuators is approximately symmetrical (e.g. if the maximum heating and cooling power is
equal)
2. Set the setpoint to the normal operating value for
the process (or to a lower value if an overshoot beyond this value might cause damage).
1. Tune the controller using only the Primary Control
output as described in steps 1 to 5 of Manually Tuning - PID with Primary Output, above.
3. Select On-Off control (i.e. set the primary proportional band to zero).
2. Set the Secondary Proportional Band to the same
value as the Primary Proportional Band and monitor
the operation of the controller in dual control mode.
4. Switch on the process. The process variable will rise
above and then oscillate about the setpoint. Record
the peak-to-peak variation (P) of the first cycle (i.e.
the difference between the highest value of the first
overshoot and the lowest value of the first undershoot), and the time period of the oscillation (T) in
minutes. See the diagram below.
3. If there is a tendency to oscillate as the control passes into the Secondary Proportional Band, increase
its value. If the process appears to be over-damped
(slow to respond) in the region of the secondary
proportional band, decrease its value.
5. Calculate the PID control parameters (primary proportional band, integral time and derivative time) using the formulas shown.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the second control loop if required.
78
4. When the PID tuning values have been determined,
if there is a disturbance to the process variable as
control passes from one proportional band to the
other, set the Overlap/Deadband parameter to a
positive value to introduce some overlap. Adjust
this value by trial and error until satisfactory results
are obtained.
6. If symmetrical oscillation occurs, increase the proportional bands together, maintaining the same ratio. If the asymmetrical oscillation occurs, adjust the
ratio between the bands until it becomes symmetrical, then increase the bands together, maintaining
the new ratio.
7. When the PID tuning values have been determined,
if there is a disturbance to the process variable as
control passes from one proportional band to the
other, set the Overlap/Deadband parameter to a
small positive value to introduce some overlap. Adjust this value by trial and error to find the minimum
value that gives satisfactory results.
Method 2 – For Asymmetrical Processes
Use this method if the relative power available from
the primary and secondary actuators is not symmetrical (e.g. if the maximum cooling power is less than the
maximum heating power)
1. Check that the scaled input limits and the setpoint
limits of the loop in question are set to safe and appropriate levels for your process. Adjust if required.
Valve, Damper & Speed Controller Tuning
This tuning method is used when controlling devices
such as dampers, modulating valves or motor speed
controllers. It applies equally to modulating valves with
their own valve positioning circuitry, or in VMD mode
where the instrument directly controls the valve motor–
see Valve Motor Drive / 3-Point Stepping Control. It determines values for the primary proportional band, and
integral time constant. The derivative time is normally
set to OFF. This type of PI Control minimizes valve/motor wear whilst giving optimal process control.
2. Set the setpoint to the normal operating value for
the process (or to a lower value if overshoots beyond this value might cause damage).
3. Select On-Off control by setting the primary proportional band to zero (the secondary proportional
band will automatically be set on-off control when
you do this).
4. Switch on the process. The process variable will oscillate about the setpoint. Record the peak-to-peak
variation (V) of the oscillation (i.e. the difference between the on-going overshoot and undershoot), the
time period of the oscillation (T) in minutes and the
maximum rate of rise (dP) and fall (dS) as the oscillation continues.
In VMD modem the Motor Travel Time and Minimum
On Time must be correctly set to match the valve specifications before attempting to tune the controller.
This technique is suitable only for processes
that are not harmed by large fluctuations in the
process variable.
Process Variable
1. Set the setpoint to the normal operating process
value (or to a lower value if overshoot beyond this
value is likely to cause damage).
2. Set the Primary Proportional Band a value approximately equal to 0.5% of the input span for the loop
to be tuned. (Span is the difference between the
scaled input limits).
3. Set the Integral & Derivative time constants both to
OFF.
Time
V = On-going Peak-to-Peak variation
T = Time period of oscillation (minutes)
dS = Maximum rate of rise
dP = Maximum rate of fall
R = Ratio dS/dP
Primary Proportional Band = Pb.P = V/R
Secondary proportional band = R x Pb.P
Integral Time = T minutes
Derivative Time = T/6
4. Switch on the process. The process variable should
oscillate about the setpoint.
5.Follow the instructions in the diagram below. At
each stage, allow sufficient settling time before
moving on to the next stage. P.Pb is the Primary
Proportional Band, Int.T is the Integral Time Constant.
5. Calculate and enter the PID control parameters (primary proportional band, integral time and derivative
time) using the formulas shown, and observe the
process.

Fine Tuning
Proportional Bands
Small adjustments can be made to correct minor control problems. These examples assume reverse acting
control (e.g. heating). Adjust accordingly for direct action. If they do not help solve the problem, re-tune the
controller as detailed on the preceding sections.
Increase the width of the proportional bands if the process overshoots or oscillates excessively. Decrease
the width of the proportional band if the process responds slowly or fails to reach setpoint.
Note: When fine tuning the settings, only adjust one
parameter at a time, and allow enough time for the
process to settle into its new state each time you
change a value.
Proportional Bands
Cycle Times
A separate cycle time adjustment parameter is provided for the Primary and Secondary control when using
time-proportioning control outputs.
Too Narrow: Process Oscillates
If the process oscillates at the same frequency as the
cycle time, it indicates it may be too long for the process. Decrease the cycle time and re-check the period
of oscillation, if it has changed to match the new cycle
time this confirms that the time is too long.
If the control actuators will accept it, continue reducing
the cycle time until the process stabilizes, or no further
improvement is seem. Recommended times. Relays
≥10 seconds. SSR Driver 1 second.
Too Wide: Slow warm up and response
Proportional Cycle Times
Integral Time Constant
To find the optimum integral time, decrease its value
until the process becomes unstable, then increase it a
little at a time, until stability has is restored. Induce a
load disturbance or make a setpoint change to verify
that the process stabilizes. If not increase the value
some more and re-test. If the response is too slow, decrease the integral time, but avoid instability.
Ideal: Stable Process
Integral Time
Too Short: Overshoots and oscillates
Too Long: Oscillation period = cycle time.
Note: Adjusting the cycle time affects the controllers
operation; a shorter cycle time gives more accurate
control, but mechanical control actuators such as relays will have a reduced life span.
Too Long: Slow warm up and response
81
Derivative Time Constant
Anti Wind -up
Initially set the derivative to between 1/4th and 1/10th
of the Integral time value. Increase the derivative time
if the process overshoots/undershoots. Increase it a
little at a time, but if the process becomes unstable,
decrease it until the oscillation stops. Induce a load
disturbance or make a setpoint change to verify that
the process stabilizes. If not decrease the value some
more and re-test.
Too Small: Overshoots setpoint before
settling
Derivative Time
Process Disturbance
Too Long: Oscillates and over corrects
when process disturbed
Too Short: Slow to setpoint or offset
above/below setpoint
Manual Reset
For proportional only control, after making all other
adjustments, if a positive control deviation error exists
(process is offset above the setpoint) reduce the manual reset until the error is eliminated. If there is a negative error (process is offset below the setpoint) increase
manual reset until the error is eliminated.
Process Disturbance
Too Short: Slow warm up and disturbance
response under-corrects
For PID or PI control, typically set manual reset to approximately 80% of power needed to maintain setpoint, but lower values can be used to inhibit start-up
overshoot if required.
Note: When controlling a modulating valve, it is usually
recommended that derivative is set to OFF to avoid
excessive valve activity. Derivative can cause process
instability in these processes.
Manual Reset
Anti Wind-up
If after fully optimising the tuning, there is an overshoot
of the setpoint at start-up or in response to large setpoint changes, the reset wind-up inhibit point can be
reduced to suspend integral action until the process is
closer to setpoint. If set too low control deviation can
occur (the process settles, but is offset above or below
the setpoint). It this is observed, increase the value until
the deviation error is removed.
Too High: Overshoots setpoint at start-up
Too Low: Slow to setpoint

Serial Communications
Supported Protocols
Ethernet Configuration
Communication with a Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP
master device is possible if the appropriate communications module is fitted in option slot A. An RS485
Module is required for Modbus RTU. An Ethernet Module is required for Modbus TCP. The instrument can
also act as “setpoint master” over RS485 for multi-zone
applications. In this mode the unit continuously sends
its setpoint value using Modbus broadcast messages.
Master mode is not available with Ethernet module.
For Modbus TCP communications (Modbus over Ethernet), the Ethernet IP address can either be assigned
by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP),
BootP or AutoIP server on the network, or manually assigned using the IP address allocation software tool.
Refer to the PC Software section of this manual on
page 235 for more information about setting the IP address. The supported data rates 10/100BASE-T (10 or
100 Mbps) are automatically detected.
To protect the EEPROM from excessive write operations, the 6 most recent parameter write requests are
held in standard RAM. All data is written to EEPROM at
power-down or if another parameter is changed. Avoid
continuously changing more than 6 parameters.
Link Layer
A query (data request or command) is transmitted from
the Modbus Master to the Modbus Slave. The slave
instrument assembles the reply to the master. This instrument is normally a slave device. It can only act as
a master when being use as setpoint master controller
to broadcast its setpoint to other controllers in a multizone application.
All models also have a configuration socket for bench
setup via the PC configuration software prior to installation. An RS232 to TTL lead (available from your
supplier) is required in order to use this socket. A
front mounted USB port is available on some models;
this can also be used to configure the instrument or
to transfer recorder or profile files via a USB memory
stick.

Figure 62. Modbus Link Layer
RS485 Device Addressing
The instrument must be assigned a unique device address in the range 1 to 255. This address is used to recognize Modbus queries intended for this instrument.
With the exception of globally addressed broadcast
messages, the instrument ignores Modbus queries that
do not match the address that has been assigned to it.
A message for either a QUERY or RESPONSE is made
up of an inter-message gap followed by a sequence
of data characters. The inter-message gap is at least
3.5 data character times - the transmitter must not
start transmission until 3 character times have elapsed
since reception of the last character in a message, and
must release the transmission line within 3 character
times of the last character in a message.
The instrument will accept broadcast messages (global
queries) using device address 0 no matter what device
address is assigned to it. No response messages are
returned for globally addressed queries.
Note:Three character times is approximately 0.25ms
at 115200 bps, 0.51ms at 57600 bps, 0.75ms at 38400
bps, 1.5ms at 19200 bps, 3ms at 9600 bps and 6ms at
4800bps.

Supported Modbus Functions
Data is encoded for each character as binary data,
transmitted LSB first.
The following Modbus function types are supported by
this instrument:
For a QUERY the address field contains the address
of the slave destination. The slave address is given together with the Function and Data fields by the Application layer. The CRC is generated from the address,
function and data characters.

Function Descriptions
The following is interpreted from the Modbus protocol
description obtainable from www.modbus.org. Refer to
that document if clarification is required. In the function descriptions below, the preceding device address
value is assumed, as is the correctly formed two-byte
CRC value at the end of the QUERY and RESPONSE
frames.

Note: In the response the “Number of Bytes” indicates the number of data bytes read from the instrument.
E.g. if 5 words are read, the count will be 10 (0xA hex). The maximum number of words that can be read is
64. If a parameter does not exist at one of the addresses read, a value of 0000h is returned for that word.

Exception Responses
If a QUERY is sent without a communication error, but the instrument cannot interpret it, an Exception RESPONSE
is returned. The exception response consists of a modified version of the original function code and an exception
code that explains what was wrong with the message. Possible exception responses and their reasons are:
Function Code
The original function
code with its most
significant bit (MSB) set.
This offsets it by 0x80,
so for example 0x06
becomes 0x86.

Write functions: Parameter number is out of range
or not supported. (for write functions only).
Read Functions: Start parameter does not exist or
the end parameter greater than 65536.
03

Attempt to write invalid data / required action not
executed.
Note: In the case of multiple exception codes for a single query, the Exception code returned is the one
corresponding to the first parameter in error.
Modbus Parameters
ed) or an IEEE / Motorola (big endian) Floating Point
Number. Where possible use floating point numbers
especially if the values have more than one decimal
place.
The register addresses for the Modbus parameters are
detailed in the tables below. The Access column indicates if a parameter is read only (RO) or if it can also
be written to (R/W). Communications writes will not be
implemented if the Writing Via Serial Comms parameter in the Communications Configuration sub-menu is
set to Disabled.
Note: Read only parameters will return an exception if an attempt is made to write values to them.
Some parameters that do not apply for a particular configuration will still accept read / writes (e.g.
attempting to scale a linear output which has not
been fitted).
Data Formats
Data can be accessed in three formats: Integer Only
(decimal places are not included), Integer with 1 Decimal Place (only the first decimal place value is includ-

The register address offset calculations are shown
above.
Analog parameter values and their limits are expressed
as decimals.
For your convenience, the parameter tables on the following pages show each parameter’s Modbus register
address as a decimal and hexadecimal number for all
three formats. The tables also show if the parameter
has read-only (RO) or read-write (RW) access.
Bit parameters list the bit positions and their meaning
(bit 0 = LSB). Only bits that have a function are listed,
unused bits are omitted.

This can be entered only as a floating point number.
When converted to binary the least significant 19 bits represents
the date in this format:
www DDDDD MMMM YYYYYYY
YYYYYYY = YEAR
MMMM = MONTH
DDDDD = DAY OF MONTH (1-31 but must be valid)
www = Day of the week The day of week portion
is calculated from the date (Read Only).
Example with date set to 31/07/2012
Day (31) = 11111
Month (7) = 0111
Year (12) = 0001100
Bits 17 and higher are ignored when writing so 11111 0111
0001100 (64396 decimal) is just one of many possible numbers
to write as 31/07/2012, and when reading the date back, the
number returned is
10 11111 0111 0001100 (195468 decimal) because bits 17-19
are 010 (to represent “Tuesday”).

This can be entered only as a floating point number. When converted to binary the least significant 19 bits represent the date in
this format:
www DDDDD MMMM YYYYYYY
YYYYYYY = YEAR
MMMM = MONTH
DDDDD = DAY OF MONTH (1-31 but must be valid)
www = Day of the week The day of week portion
is calculated from the date (Read Only).
Example with date set to 31/07/2012
Day (31) = 11111
Month (7) = 0111
Year (12) = 0001100
Bits 17 and higher are ignored when writing so 11111 0111
0001100 (64396 decimal) is just one of many possible numbers
to write as 31/07/2012, and when reading the date back, the
number returned is
10 11111 0111 0001100 (195468 decimal) because bits 17-19
are 010 (to represent “Tuesday”).

Profile Setup via Modbus
Instruction Sequence to create a profile at a specified profile position:
The information in this section is intended for advanced
users writing their own software code. Most users will
create or edit profiles using the instrument keypad, or
using the the PC software (available from your supplier). Either method allows quick and easy editing of
profiles.
If this profile number is already in use then the
profile header data is overwritten but the segments associated with it are kept.
Note: There is a global block on profile creation or
editing via Modbus while a profile is running. An attempt to do so returns the error code 0x15.
1. Determine which profile positions are being used by
using the Command Code value PS (0x50, 0x53).
This command will return a list of all the profile positions currently being used.
The only profile related commands allowed while a
profile runs are the Profile Control & Status Parameters in the previous section.
2. Choose a location that is not being used and write
the profile header data using the Command Code
value WP (0x57, 0x50). The profile number is echoed
back by the instrument in the Edit Response Message.
Advanced users can setup or edit profiles by writing
to the Profile Configuration parameter at address 8198
(0x2006). This can only be accessed by using Modbus
function code 23 (0x17). The instrument replies with a
status message. When creating a new profile the steps
below must be followed exactly, either to create a profile at the next available position, or at the position you
specify.
3. Write the first segment using the Command Code
value Code WS (0x57, 0x53). This command will fill
the next available segment position and link it to the
profile created in step 1.
4. Write the second segment, again using Command
Code WS. This fills the next available segment position and links it to the segment created in step 2.
Each message in the sequence includes a 2 byte Command Code that tells the instrument the purpose of the
message, and therefore the meaning of the data contained in it.
5. Continue writing segments until the profile is complete (whilst remaining within the overall limit of 255
segments for all profiles combined). Each of these
segments fills the next available position and links it
to the previous segment specified.
Instruction Sequence to create a profile at the next
available position:
1. Create a profile by writing the profile header data
using the Command Code value CP (0x43, 0x50).
This starts the profile creation process by reserving
a profile memory slot. The profile number is returned
by the instrument in the Edit Response Message.
6. The very last segment of the profile must be one
of the end type segments. Thereafter, no more segments can be added to the specified profile. To add
a segment to an existing profile the insert segment
command must be used.
2. Write the first segment using the Command Code
value Code WS (0x57, 0x53). This command will fill
the next available segment position and link it to the
profile created in step 1.
Instruction Sequence to edit an existing
Profile Header
3. Write the second segment, again using Command
Code WS. This fills the next available segment position and links it to the segment created in step 2.
When a profile header is changed, the segments associated with it remain unchanged. They must be edited
separately if required.
4. Continue writing segments until the profile is complete (whilst remaining within the overall limit of 255
segments for all profiles combined). Each of these
segments fills the next available position and links it
to the previous segment specified.
1. Determine the number of the profile to be edited.
Use the Command Code value PS (0x50, 0x53)
which returns a list of all profile positions/numbers
currently in use.
2. Write a new profile header data using the Command
Code value EP (0x45, 0x50). The profile number is
echoed back by the instrument in the Edit Response
Message.
5. The very last segment of the profile must be one
of the end type segments. Thereafter, no more segments can be added to the specified profile. To add
a segment to an existing profile the insert segment
command must be used.
169
Instruction Sequence to read a profile
The following rules apply when creating a profile over
communications:
1.Use the command RP to read the profile header
data
• Profiles must always be terminated with an end segment.
• Segments cannot be added after an end segment
has been added.
• All changes made to the selected profile are immediately saved in the instrument.
2. Use the command RS to read the 1st segment’s
data
3. Use the command RS to read the 2nd segment’s
data.
4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 until an end segment is
reached.

Creating, Editing or Inserting Segments
Creating new segments is only possible when a new profile is being created (see above for instruction for creating
a profile at the next available position, or at a position that you specify). An error is returned if the correct sequence
is not followed. The Insert Segment command is used to add segments to an existing profile (one that already has
an end segment). This inserts a new segment at the position specified. The Edit Segment command is used to
alter segments of an existing profile. The segment number is in relation to the profile number, e.g. to edit or insert
a segment at position 3 of profile 1 the segment number will be 3, and to edit or insert a segment at position 3 of
profile 6 the segment number will also be 3.

Glossary
Active Setpoint
Alarm Configuration
The term Active Setpoint is used to describe the currently selected setpoint when the instrument is in controller mode. Controllers can use the Main local setpoint
and/or the Alternate Setpoint. Only one of the setpoints
can be active at any time. During profiler control, the
setpoint value is controlled by the profiler function.
A sub-menu of the configuration menu, used to adjust
the alarm parameters (alarm types, values, hysteresis,
minimum duration and inhibiting).
Also refer to: Actual Setpoint; Alternate Setpoint; Controller Mode; Local Setpoints; Profiler Mode; Remote
Setpoint; Setpoint; and Setpoint Selection.
Alarm Duration Inhibit
Also refer to: Alarm Hysteresis; Alarm Inhibit; Alarm
Operation; Alarm Types and Configuration Mode.
An adjustable alarm configuration time. After an alarm
trigger point is passed, the alarm is inhibited from activation until this time has elapsed. If the alarm trigger is
removed before the time has passed (e.g. the process
falls back below a high alarm value) the alarm will not
activate at all. The time duration inhibit is not applied
when an alarm condition ends. This parameter is in addition to the alarm activation inhibit.
Actual Setpoint
Actual Setpoint is the effective current value of the active setpoint. This will be different to the setpoints target value during setpoint ramps. The actual setpoint
will rise or fall at the ramp-rate set, until it reaches its
target setpoint value. During profile control, the actual
setpoint value is controlled by the profiler function.
Also refer to: Alarm Hysteresis; Alarm Inhibit; Alarm
Operation; Alarm Types and Configuration Mode.
Also refer to: Active Setpoint; Controller Mode; Profiler
Mode; Setpoint; Setpoint Ramp Rate and Setpoint Selection.
Alarm Hysteresis
An adjustable band through which the process variable
must pass before the alarm will change state. The band
is always on the “safe” side of an alarm point, e.g. a
high alarm’s hysteresis band is below the high alarm
value, and a low alarm’s hysteresis is above the low
alarm value. Refer to the Alarm Hysteresis Operation
diagram on the next page.
Alarm Activation Inhibit
Alarm Inhibit prevents unwanted alarm activation at
power-up or when the controller setpoint is changed.
The alarm activation is inhibited until a ‘Safe’ (nonalarm) condition is present. The alarm operates normally from that point onwards. E.g. if inhibited, a low
alarm will not activate at power-up, until the process
has first risen above the alarm point and then falls back
below. This parameter is in addition to the alarm minimum duration setting.
Also refer to: Alarm Duration Inhibit; Alarm Types; Loop
Alarm; Alarm Operation; LSD; Process Variable; and
Rate Of Change Alarm.

Alarm Types
Auxiliary Input Lower Limit
There are three basic alarm types, Process Alarms,
Control Deviation Alarms and Event Based Alarms;
plus some special condition alarms. Process Alarms
are based on the absolute value of the Process Variable. If the PV rises above a high alarm value, or falls
below a low alarm value, the alarm will become active.
Control Deviation Alarms are based on the value of the
Control Deviation error. If the PV is more than the high
deviation alarm value above setpoint, or more than the
low deviation alarm value below setpoint, the alarm will
become active. Event based alarms activate when the
condition for that alarm type is true. These can be Signal Break, Low Memory or Loop Alarms. Rate of Signal
Change Alarm is based on the rate of change of the PV.
If the rate of change is greater than the alarm value for
longer than the Minimum Duration time, the alarm will
activate. Control Power High and Control Power Low
alarms are based on the output power from the PID
control algorithm.
When auxiliary input A is used to provide a remote setpoint (RSP), this setting defines the Alternate Setpoint
value when the auxiliary input signal is at its minimum
value (e.g. for 4 to 20mA, the value when 4mA is applied). However, the setpoint is always constrained by
the setpoint limits.
Also refer to: Alternate Setpoint; Auxiliary Input; Auxiliary Input Upper Limit; Auxiliary Input Offset; Remote
Setpoint; Setpoint and Setpoint Upper Limit and Setpoint Lower Limit.
Auxiliary Input Offset
Used to adjust the value of auxiliary input A if it provides a Remote Setpoint. Positive values are added
to the remote setpoint value, negative values are subtracted, but the setpoint is still constrained by the setpoint limits.
Also refer to: Auxiliary Input; Remote Setpoint; Scaled
Input Upper Limit; Scaled Input Lower Limit Setpoint
Lower Limit and Setpoint Upper Limit.
Also refer to: Alarm Operation; Band Alarm Value; Control Deviation; Control Power Alarm; Deviation Alarm;
Loop Alarm; PID; Process High Alarm; Process Low
Alarm; Process Variable; Rate Of Change Alarm; and
Setpoint.
Auxiliary Input Type
Defines the type and range of the linear input signal for
auxiliary input A. It can be mADC or VDC. This can be
used as a Remote Setpoint input.
Alternate Setpoint
The instrument can use one of two setpoints (Main or
Alternate). The alternate setpoint can be chosen from
Local Setpoint 2 or a remote setpoint input from Auxiliary Input A if fitted. One setpoint can be chosen as the
active at using the setpoint selection screen.
Also refer to: Remote Setpoint and Setpoint.
Auxiliary Input Upper Limit
When the auxiliary input is used to provide a Remote
Setpoint (RSP), this setting defines the value of the
RSP when the auxiliary input signal is at its maximum
value (e.g. for 4 to 20mA, the value when 20mA is applied). However, the RSP value is always constrained
by the setpoint limits.
Also refer to: Auxiliary Input; Local Setpoints; Main
Setpoint; Profiler; Remote Setpoints; Setpoint and Setpoint Select.
Auto Pre-Tune
Also refer to: Auxiliary Input; Auxiliary Input Lower Limit; Auxiliary Input Offset; Remote Setpoint; Setpoint and
Setpoint Upper Limit and Setpoint Lower Limit.
When the auto pre-tune is enabled, a pre-tune activation is attempted at every power-up (Standard PreTune activation rules apply). Auto pre-tune is useful
when the process to be controlled may vary significantly each time it is run. Auto pre-tune ensures that
the process is tuned correctly each time the process
is started. Self-tune may also be engaged to fine-tune
the controller.
Band Alarm Value
The amount of control deviation that is acceptable before a Band Alarm is activated. If the process variable
is more than the value of this band from the actual setpoint, the alarm will be active.
Also refer to: Pre-Tune; Self-Tune; PID and Tuning.
Also refer to: Actual Setpoint; Alarm Operation; Alarm
Types; Control Deviation; Input Span; LSD and Process
Variable.

Bar Graphs
Auxiliary Input
The instrument displays uni or bi-directional bar-graphs

control = 0 to 100%, dual control = -100% to +100%),
control deviation (-5% to +5%) and % Recorder Memory Used (0 to 100%). In Profiler Mode, profile & current
segment bar-graphs are shown (0 to 100%).
A secondary linear input module can be installed in option slot A to provide a remote setpoint input. Signals
can be mA, or VDC. The 2nd Universal input can also
be used as an auxiliary input if fitted. Also refer to: Alternate Setpoint; Digital Input; Linear Input; mADC; Remote Setpoint and VDC
Also refer to: Control Deviation; Data Recorder; Display

Bias
Communications Write Enable
- Refer to Manual Reset.
Enables/disables the changing of parameter values via
the Serial Communications link, if a communication
option such as Modbus RTU (RS485) or Modbus TCP
(Ethernet) is installed. When disabled, communication
becomes read-only.
Bumpless Transfer
A method used to prevent sudden changes to the correcting variable, when switching between automatic
PI or PID and Manual control modes. During a transition from PI or PID to manual control, the initial manual
power value is set to the previous automatic mode
value. The operator then adjusts the value as required.
During a transition from manual control to PI or PID,
the initial automatic value is set to the previous manual
mode value. The correcting variable level will gradually
adjusted by the control algorithm at a rate dependant
on the integral action resulting from the integral time
constant value. A similar Bumpless transfer is used
with Gain Scheduling when switching PID Sets. Since
integral action is essential to Bumpless Transfer, this
feature is not available if integral is turned off.
Also refer to: Ethernet; Modbus RTU; Modbus TCP;
RS485 and Serial Communications
Configuration Menu
A selection of sub-menus from which the user can adjust the major instrument settings. There are sub-menus
for the Inputs, Control, Outputs, Alarms, Communications, Recorder, Clock, Display and Lock Codes. Configuration mode is entered from the main menu. An unlock code is required to access this mode.
Refer to the Configuration Menu information in the
Configuration & Use section.

Calibration
Adjustment or correction of the displayed values relative to the actual measured values.
Contactor
Refer to the User Calibration section of this manual for
calibration use and instructions.
- Refer to Relay
Also refer to: Multi-point Scaling and Process Variable.
Continuous Control
Cascade Control
Current or voltage correcting variables using linear
outputs (4 to 20mA, 0-20mA, 0 to 5V, 0 to 10V or 2
- 10V DC) for proportional control, PI, PD or PID control modes. On-Off control cannot be used with linear
outputs.
Applications with long time lags (e.g. indirect heat via
hot water jackets) can be difficult to control with a single control loop. The solution is to split the process into
two (or more) cascaded loops consisting of a Master
and Slave acting on a common actuator. The 2-loop
version with built-in cascade feature is ideal for this
type of application, although it can be achieved with
two discrete controllers, one with a setpoint retransmission output and the other with a remote setpoint
input.
Also refer to: Correcting Variable; Linear Output; OnOff Control; PD; PI; PID; Proportional Control; and Time
Proportional Control.
Control Configuration
A sub-menu of the configuration menu used to adjust
the parameters that relate to the control of the process
(enabling control, auto/manual mode, control type and
action, PID tuning terms, power limits, sensor break
action, setpoint values and setpoint selection).
The master controller measures the main process variable and compares it to the desired product setpoint.
Its PID output becomes the slave’s effective setpoint
(scaled to suit the process). This is compared the
slave’s process input, and the controlling actuator is
adjusted accordingly.
Also refer to: Configuration Mode; Control Action; Control Enable; Local Setpoints; Manual Mode; PID; Setpoint Selection and Tuning.
Refer to the Cascade Control section of this manual for
full details.
Control Deviation
Also refer to: Master & Slave; Proportional Control; PID;
Remote Setpoint and Setpoint.
Control Deviation is the difference between the process variable value and the actual setpoint. The control deviation error is equal to PV – SP. This value can
be monitored using the bar-graph (±5% of span). An
excessive deviation warning can be given by using a
deviation or band alarm.
Clock Configuration
A sub-menu of the configuration menu used to adjust
the setting of the real time clock fitted with the data
recorder option (e.g. date, time, and date format).
Also refer to: Actual Setpoint; Alarm Types; Band Alarm;
Bar Graph; Deviation Alarm; Input Span; Process Variable and Setpoint
Also refer to: Data Recorder and Configuration Mode

Control Action
Controller Mode
This refers to the control loop(s) primary power output
direction. Reverse action is typically used with heating
applications as it increases the correcting variable as
the process variable falls. If a secondary output has
been configured, its action is always the opposite of
the primary output.
The normal operating mode when profiling is not fitted
or it is not being used. Also refer to: Controller; Profiler
and Profiler Mode
Correcting Variable
The output level from a controller used to adjust the
process variable up or down, in order to remove any
control deviation. This might be turning on a chiller in
a temperature application or increasing the variable
speed drive of a pump in a flow application. The level
of correcting variable is commonly referred to as the

Control Enable/Disable
The PID controller outputs can be temporarily turned
off by disabling the control. When control is disabled
the setpoint value is replaced by “OFF”. All other functions continue as normal. The control enable/disable
function can be controlled from the control configuration sub-menu, via a digital input or optionally from the
operation menu if enabled in the display configuration
sub-menu.

Control Power Alarm
Custom Display Mode
A control power alarm is based on the output from the
PID control algorithm. It can provide a warning if the
PID output rises above or falls below a set value. This
is often used in conjunction with the minimum alarm
duration time so that very brief power output peaks can
be ignored.
The user can copy up to 50 Configuration Menu parameters into operation mode using the PC software.
If enabled in the display configuration sub-menu, the
configured parameters follow the normal operation
mode screens. In this mode these screens are not protected by a lock code.

Control Type
Cycle Time
This defines if a control loop has Single (unidirectional)
or Dual (bidirectional) control outputs. Single outputs
have a primary output only. This can drive the process in
one direction (e.g. heat only, cool only, increase humidity etc). Dual outputs have both primary and secondary outputs which can force the process to increase or
decrease (e.g. heat & cool, humidify & dehumidify etc).
For time proportioning outputs, the cycle time is the
period over which the controller averages the ON vs.
OFF time, in order to provide the required correcting
variable. Each control loop has separate cycle times
for the primary and secondary control outputs. Shorter
cycle times give better control, but at the expense of
reduce life for any electromechanical control devices
(e.g. relays or solenoid valves). Short cycle times do
not harm SSRs.

Band; Process Variable; and Secondary Proportional
Band.

Controller
An instrument that controls one or more process control loops. For each control loop it compares a process
variable to a target setpoint, and attempts to make the
process maintain the setpoint value by applying a correcting variable (e.g. turning on a heater or dosing with
alkali if controlling pH). The controller uses proportional
(P, PI, PD o PID) or On-Off control.
Data Recorder
The Data Recorder option can record the process values, setpoints, alarms and events over time. Recordings can be transferred to a USB memory stick or via
the serial communications options for analysis in the
PC software or spreadsheets. This option includes a
battery backed-up real time clock (RTC) which continues to keep time when the instrument is powered
down.

Derivative Action
Digital Input
Derivative action biases the proportional control output
to compensate for the rate of change in the process
variable. In a typical reverse acting application, derivative power is increased if the PV is rising, or decreased
if it is falling. The combined proportional and derivative
values adjust the correcting variable until the process
stabilizes, at which point derivative power becomes
zero. Increasing the derivative time increases the effect
of derivative action.
An input that can be driven to one of two states (active or inactive) by and external voltage or a contact
opening/closing. Digital Inputs can be used to set the
instrument in to different states. Typical uses are to select auto/manual mode, active setpoint selection, control enable/disable, profile selection, profile run/hold/
abort, hold segment release, recorder trigger, tuning
start/stop and latching alarm reset. Digital inputs may
be “inverted” so that they are inactive when on.

Direct Acting Control
Direct action is required for applications where the primary control output will be used to force the process
variable down towards the setpoint. A typical application is a chiller. When the control action is selected as
direct acting, primary proportional control outputs decrease the correcting variable as the process variable
reduces within the proportional band, and primary OnOff outputs turn off when the process variable is less
than the setpoint. The control action of a secondary
output is always the opposite of the primary output.
Power
Time
The Derivative Time Constant is defined as the time
interval in which the part of the output signal due to
proportional action increases by the same amount as
the immediate output change due to derivative action,
when the control deviation error is changing at a constant rate*. As the PV falls at a fixed rate, derivative
action causes a step in power output (D%), and over
time proportional power (P%) increases as the PV falls
within the proportional band. *For the purpose of the
definition, the increased power does not affect the PV
(in reality it would begin correcting the control error).
Derivative must be set to OFF if PI control is required,
and it is not available if the primary output is set to
on-off.

Deviation Alarm
An alarm configured to activate once an unacceptable amount of control deviation error occurs. A positive value (deviation high) sets the alarm point above
the current actual setpoint, a negative value (deviation
low) sets the alarm point below actual setpoint. If the
process variable deviates from the actual setpoint by
a margin greater than this value, the alarm becomes

A sub-menu of configuration mode, used to adjust the
parameters that relate to the process and auxiliary inputs (type, engineering units, decimal places, scaling,
filtering etc.).
Display Resolution
The maximum number of digits that can be displayed
and/or the maximum number of decimal places. Numeric values (e.g. process variable, setpoints etc) are
limited to no more than 5 digits. The maximum number
of decimal places is selectable from 0 to 3 places, but
the overall 5-digit limit means that larger values reduce
the number of decimal places shown. For example,
values >99.999 will show no more than 2 decimal places (e.g. 100.00).
Also refer to: Auxiliary Input; Configuration Mode and
Process Input.
Input Filter Time Constant
This parameter is used to filter out extraneous impulses affecting process variable values. The filtered PV is
used for all PV dependent functions (display, control,
alarm etc). Use this parameter with care as it will also
slow the response to genuine process changes.
Also refer to: LSD.
Effective Setpoint

Input Range
Engineering Units
This is the overall process variable input range and
type as selected by the Process Input Type parameter.
This range can be scaled using the Scale Input Upper
& Lower Limits.
The Process Variable and Setpoint displays can assigned engineering units to describe the signals connected to the process inputs. The engineering units for
linear inputs can be: °C; °F; K; bar; %; %RH; pH; psi or
none. For temperature inputs (RTD or Thermocouples)
they can be °C; °F or K.

proportional bands).
Ethernet
A networking technology for local area networks
(LANs). Used to link computers and other equipment
in order to share data or control such devices. If fitted
with an Ethernet communications module in option slot
A, this instrument can connect as a slave to a Modbus
TCP master device via a wired Ethernet LAN connection.
Also refer to: Input Range; LSD; Primary Proportional
Band; Scaled Input Lower Limit; Scaled Input Upper
Limit and Secondary Proportional Band.
Integral Action
Integral action biases the proportional control output
to compensate for process load variations. Their combined values adjust the correcting variable, until the
control deviation error is zero, at which point the integral value is held constant. Decreasing the integral time
constant increases the integral action. Integral action is
also known as “Automatic Reset”.
Also refer to: Modbus TCP and Serial Communications.
Gain Scheduling
Gain scheduling bumplessly switches between pre-set
PID values automatically at successively higher setpoint or process values. This allows optimal control
across a wide range of process conditions, or if the
controller is used in several different applications. It is
especially useful if the process conditions change significantly during use, such as a process that becomes
exothermic as the temperature rises.

Also refer to: Auxiliary Input; Input Range; Linear Output; mVDC; mADC; PID; Process Variable; Remote

The time constant is defined as the interval in which
the part of the output due to integral action increases
by an amount equal to the part of the output due to the
proportional action, when the control deviation is unchanging*. For example, if a step change is made in the
PV, the output immediately changes due to proportional action. The deviation error is integrated over time,
steadily changing the integral output. The time it takes
for integral power to change by the same amount due
to proportional action (I% = P%) is the “reset”, or integral time. *For the purpose of the definition, the power
output change does not affect the PV (in reality it would
begin correcting the control error). Integral must be set
to OFF if PD control is required, and it is not available if
the primary output is set to On-Off.
Linear Output
A mVDC, mADC or voltage signal used to provide a
continuous proportional control output or to retransmit
the process or setpoint values to an external device.
Also refer to: Continuous Control; Linear Input mVDC;
mADC; Process Variable; Proportional Control; Retransmit Output; Setpoint and VDC
Limit Controller
A process protection device that can shut down a process at a pre-set “exceed condition”. Limit controllers
work independently of the normal process controller in order to prevent possible damage to equipment
or products. A fail-safe latching relay is fitted, which
cannot be reset by the operator until the process has
returned to a safe condition. Limit controllers are especially recommended for any process that could potentially become hazardous under fault conditions. Ensure
you choose a limit controller with the correct approvals
for local regulations (e.g EN 14597 etc) if it is to be used
as a safety limiter.

Digital inputs may be “inverted” so that they are active when off and inactive when on. This is useful if the
signal applied to the chosen digital input function is reversed in relation the digital input action.
Also refer to: Digital Input.
Also refer to: Controller and Latching Relay.
Latching Output
Local Setpoints
Alarm outputs can be set to latch on when they become active. If enabled, an output will remain latched
ON even if the condition that caused it to be on is nolonger present and it remains latched even if the unit is
powered off-on. The output latch must be reset to turn
it off. The latch reset signal can be via a digital input or
using the front keys in the clear latched output screen.
The alarm condition that caused the output to switch
must have cleared before the latch can be deactivated.
Local setpoints are target setpoint values for the control loops that are entered by the user and stored in the
controller. The value of local setpoints can be adjusted
within the setpoint limits using the front keypad, or via
a serial communications link. The instrument can has
two setpoints for each control loop. The main local setpoint and an alternate setpoint. The alternate setpoint
can be a local setpoint or a remote setpoint from an
auxiliary input. One setpoint at a time is chosen to be
active using the setpoint selection.

A mVDC, mADC or voltage signal usually used to represent the value of the process variable for one of the
PID control loops. This can be any variable that can
be converted into a suitable DC linear signal. Common
examples are Humidity, pressure, pH or temperature.

the output to turn on for direct acting outputs, or inactive for reverse acting outputs.
Any suitable output may be assigned as a logical OR
or logical AND output of the alarm and profile event
conditions, and can be configured for reverse or direct

acting outputs (NOR). If AND is chosen, all of the se-

A loop alarm detects faults in the control feedback in the
selected loop, by continuously monitoring the process
variable response to the control outputs. If any alarm
is setup as a loop alarm, it repeatedly checks if the
control output is at saturation. If saturation is reached
(0% or 100% power for single control type, -100% or
+100% for dual control type), an internal timer is started. Thereafter, if the output has not caused the process
variable to be corrected by a predetermined amount ‘V’
after time ‘T’ has elapsed, the alarm becomes active.
The alarm repeatedly checks the process variable and
the control output. If the process starts to change in
the correct direction or the control output is no longer
at the limit, the alarm deactivates.
LSD
The Least Significant Digit (LSD) is the smallest incremental value that can be shown at the defined display
resolution.
Also refer to: Display Resolution.
mADC
This stands for milliamp DC. It is used in reference to
the linear DC milliamp input ranges and the linear DC
milliamp outputs. Typically, these will be 0 to 20mA or
4 to 20mA.
For PI or PID control, the loop alarm time ‘T’ can be automatic (twice the Integral Time value) or set to a user
defined value up to 99m 59s. Correct operation with
the automatic loop alarm time depends upon reasonably accurate PID tuning. The user defined value is always used for P, PD or On-Off control. The timer starts
as soon as an output turns on with on-off control.

Main Menu
The top-level menu that allows access to operation
mode as well as all other menus. These are: configuration mode, profiler setup and recorder menus, the setup wizard, supervisor mode and the tuning and USB
menus. Most menus require an unlock code to gain
access.
The value of ‘V’ is dependent upon the input type. For
Temperature inputs, V = 2°C or 3°F. For Linear inputs,
V = 10 x LSD
The loop alarm is automatically disabled in manual
control mode and during execution of a pre-tune. Upon
exit from manual mode or after completion of the pretune routine, the loop alarm is automatically re-enabled.

output is set to On-Off control. If the process variable
settles below setpoint use a higher value to remove the
error, if the process variable settles above the setpoint
use a lower value. For PID or PI control, typically set
manual reset to approximately 80% of power needed
to maintain setpoint, although lower values can be
used to inhibit start-up overshoot. Integral action will
automatically remove any control deviation error.
Main Setpoint
The instrument can has two setpoints for each control
loop. The main local setpoint and an alternate setpoint.
If used, the main setpoint is always a “local” setpoint.
One setpoint can be chosen to be active from the setpoint selection screen.

Master & Slave Controllers
The terms Master and Slave are often used in relation
to serial communications. This instrument can be a
communications slave if an Ethernet or RS485 module
is fitted.
Manual Loop Alarm Time
The loop alarm time used is manually set whenever a
loop alarm is defined to have a manually set time, or if
P, PD or On-Off control is selected. This parameter determines the duration of the output saturation condition
after which the loop alarm will be activated.
With RS485 it can also act as a setpoint master or slave
in multi-zone applications. In this case, one instrument
controls the setpoint of one or more others. This could
be a simple master/slave application where the master
controller transmits its setpoint to the slaves so that
all operate at the same temperature. Alternatively, an
offset can be applied to each zone using the slave’s
setpoint offset parameter, so each is offset slightly from
the master.
Also refer to: Loop Alarm; On-Off Control; PD; PI and
PID.
Manual Mode
Manual Mode operates as follows: The setpoint legend is replaced by the word MAN and setpoint value
is replaced by a % output power value. This value may
be adjusted using the keypad or via serial comms. The
power value can be varied from 0% to 100% for controllers using single control type, and -100% to +100%
for controllers using dual control type. Switching between automatic and manual modes is achieved using
“bumpless transfer”.
A similar master/slave relationship can be achieved if
the master retransmits its setpoint as an analogue signal. In this case, the slave controllers must have matching remote setpoint inputs so that they can follow the
masters’ setpoint value. It is possible to apply an offset
to each zone if the slave has an RSP offset parameter.
If not the remote setpoint input scaling can be adjusted
to achieve the offset.
Cascade Control is another type of Master & Slave
application where the slaves setpoint is set using the
master controllers PID power output.
Auto/manual mode can selected from the control configuration sub-menu or via a digital input if one has
been configured for this function. Alternatively, if enabled in the display configuration sub-menu, the user
to switch between automatic and manual control from
operation mode. It is possible to use a controller as a
permanent “Manual Station” by permanently selecting
manual control in the control configuration sub-menu.
CAUTION: Manual Mode should be used with care
because the power output level is set by the operator, therefore the PID algorithm is no longer in control of the process. Manual mode also ignores any
output power limits, valve open/close limits and the
control enable/disable setting. The operator is responsible for maintaining the process within safe
limits.

Serial Communications and Setpoint.
Modbus RTU
Modbus RTU is the serial communications protocol
used on instruments fitted with the RS485 Communications module into option slot A. Alternatively, the
Modbus TCP protocol is available if the Ethernet communications module is fitted. Modbus RTU is a Master/
Slave protocol. Only the Master may initiate communications. Each slave is given a unique address, and the
message contains the Modbus address of the intended
slave. Only this slave will act on the command, even
though other devices might receive it (an exception is
“broadcast commands” sent to address 0, which are
acted upon by all slaves). The commands can instruct
the slave to change values in its memory registers, or
ask it to send back values contained in the registers.
Each query or response message includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) checksum to ensure that it arrives uncorrupted.

variations. It is expressed as a percentage of output

mode.

Refer to the Serial Communications and Modbus Parameter sections for more information.
Motor Travel Time
Also refer to: Modbus TCP; RS485; Serial Communications and Setpoint.
The Motor Travel Time parameter is used in Valve Motor Drive control mode. It must be set to the time the
valve takes to travel from one physical end stop to the
other. This time is used by the VMD algorithm when
calculating how long to energize the “Valve Open” or
“Valve Close” outputs in order to bring the process on
to control. It is important that the time set accurately
reflects the time taken to travel between the physical
limits, otherwise the control can be severely impaired.
The motor travel time may be stated in your valve supplier’s specification or the valve can be timed from the
fully closed to fully opened position. The controller can
be placed in Manual Mode to assist with the timing of
valve movement.
Modbus TCP
Modbus TCP is a version of the Modbus protocol for
networks such as Ethernet, which support the Internet
Protocol. It is available if an Ethernet communications
module is fitted into option slot A. This instrument can
only act as a Slave when using Modbus TCP. A master
device initiates the communications, and the instrument only acts on the command if it has been sent to
its own IP address. Modbus/TCP does not require a
checksum to ensure that the message arrives intact.
Apart from this, the data model and function calls used
by Modbus TCP and RTU are identical; only the message encapsulation is different.
Also refer to Manual Mode Enable
Refer to the Serial Communications and Modbus Parameter sections for more information.
Multi-Point Scaling
If the process input is connected to a linear input signal, multi-point scaling can be enabled in the input
configuration sub-menu. This allows the linearization
of non-linear signals. The scale input limits define the
values shown when the input is at minimum and maximum values, and up to 15 breakpoints can scale input
vs. displayed value between these limits. It is advisable to concentrate the break points in the area of the
range that has the greatest amount of non-linearity, or
the area of particular interest in the application.
Also refer to: Ethernet; Modbus RTU and Serial Communications.
Minimum Motor On Time
This defines the minimum drive effort needed to initiate
valve movement if the valve was previously stationary.
It ensures that frictional and inertial effects are taken
into account when driving the valve, and reduces the
actuator switching operations when close to setpoint.
If the pulse required to position the valve would be less
than the minimum on time, the output is suppressed.
Each of these short pulse times is accumulated until
their value exceeds the minimum on time, and the output is turned on for this time.
Also refer to: Input Configuration; Linear Input; Process
Input; Scaled Input Lower Limit and Scaled Input Upper Limit.
When the control deviation error is inside a “neutral
zone”, the PID algorithm inhibits integration in order
to avoid oscillation. The neutral zone (symmetrical to
setpoint) is:
This stands for millivolt DC. It is used in reference to
the linear DC millivolt input ranges of the main process
inputs. These can be 0 to 50mV or 10 to 50mV

Also refer to Motor Travel Time; Self-Tune and Valve
Motor Drive Control.
On-Off Control
When operating in On-Off mode, the control output(s)
turn on or off as the process variable crosses the setpoint in a manner similar to a simple thermostat. Some
oscillation of the process variable is inevitable when
using on-off control. The amount of oscillation is mainly defined by the process characteristics, but is also
affected by the on-off differential setting. On-off control can be implemented only with Relay, Triac or SSR
driver outputs. It can be assigned to the primary output
alone (secondary output not present), primary and secondary outputs or to a secondary output only (with the
primary output set for time proportional or continuous
control). On-off Control is selected by setting the corresponding proportional band(s) to on-off.
Modulating Valve
A valve that can be positioned anywhere between fully
closed and fully open by means of an incorporated motor. A typical application would be controlling temperature in a furnace heated by gas burners. The controller moves the valve to the desired position in order to
control the gas flow. If the valve motor is directly driven
with Open and Close outputs from the controller feeding power to the motor, valve motor drive (VMD) control mode must be used. Some modulating valves have
positioning circuitry incorporated that requires linear
(mA or VDC) signals to set the position. These use the

A sub-menu of configuration mode used to adjust the
parameters that relate to the outputs. Available settings include linear output type & scaling, output usage
and retransmit output scaling etc. Boolean logical OR /
AND can be used to combine alarms and/or events to
a single output.
On-Off Differential
Also refer to: Configuration Mode; Logical Output
Combinations and Linear Output.
A switching differential, centred about the setpoint,
when using On-off control. Relay ‘chatter’ can be eliminated by proper adjustment of this parameter, but too
large a value may increase process variable oscillation
to unacceptable levels. On-off differential is also known
as hysteresis or deadband.
Overlap/Deadband
The Overlap/Deadband parameter defines the portion
of the primary and secondary proportional bands over
which both outputs are active (called overlap), or neither is active (called deadband). This is entered in display units, and is limited to -20% to +20% of the sum
of the two proportional bands. E.g. if the proportional
bands were 2° and 8° (totalling = 10°) the maximum
overlap or deadband would be ±2°. Positive values =
Overlap, negative values = Deadband. The 5 PID sets
for each control loop have their own overlap/deadband
setting.

Operation Mode
The mode used during normal operation of the instrument. It can be accessed from the main menu, and
is the usual mode entered at power-up. The screens
shown include a main screen with bar-graphs, trend
views, information about the process, alarms plus optionally, selection of auto/manual control, control output disabling. Recorder and profiler information can be
displayed if these features are fitted. Up to 50 configuration menu screens also can be shown in operation
mode if set to do so with the PC software. In this mode
screens are not protected by a lock code.
Overlap/deadband is not applicable if the primary output is set for on-off control or there is no secondary
output. If the secondary output is set for on-off, this parameter has the effect of moving the on-off differential
band of the secondary output to create the overlap or
deadband. When overlap/deadband = OFF, the edge of
the secondary output differential band coincides with
the point at which the primary output is at 0% (off).
The effect of the Overlap/Deadband parameter is
shown in the following table

tered in the control configuration sub menu or via the
automatic tuning. The PID sets might be configured for
different applications, or to allow for differing process
or load conditions that might occur in a single application. In these cases one set at a time would be selected
as the “Active PID” set for that loop. The PID sets are
also used by the automatic gain scheduling feature.
The PC software can create, download and store instrument configurations & profiles. If the recorder feature is fitted, its recordings can be downloaded and
analysed via the software. In addition, changes can
be made to the instrument operation by adding extra
screens, amending the contact details, alarm status
labels or to the functions and labels of the LED’s. The
software can download a new language file, change
the start-up “splash screen” or configure the “Supervisor Mode” screens. An on-screen simulation of the
instrument can be setup and tested on a configurable
load simulator.

PLC
This stands for Programmable Logic Controller. A microprocessor based device used in machine control. It
is particularly suited to sequential control applications,
and uses “Ladder Logic” programming techniques.
Some PLC’s are capable of basic PID control, but tend
to be expensive and often give inferior levels of control.
Refer to the PC software and use sections of this manual for full details.
Also refer to: LEDs and Supervisor Mode.
PD Control
Also refer to: PID.
Proportional and Derivative (PD) control combines proportional control with derivative action. It is similar to
PID control, but without Integral action.
Pre-Tune
The Pre-Tune facility artificially disturbs the process
variable normal start-up pattern, so that an approximation of the PID values can be made prior to the setpoint
being reached. During pre-tune, the controller outputs
full primary power until the process value reaches the
“tuning point”. With Standard Pre-Tune this is halfway
to the setpoint, but an alternative method allows the
user to specify the process value to tune at. Pre-tune
can be selected from the automatic tuning menu and
will automatically disengage once complete.
Also refer to: Derivative; Integral; PID Control; Proportional Control and Tuning.
PI Control
Proportional and Integral Control (PI) combines proportional control with integral action. It is similar to PID
Control, but without derivative action. It is often used
for modulating valves, dampers or motor speed control, where derivative action can sometimes cause instability or wear of mechanical components like valves,
due to excessive movement.
If self-tune is enabled, it will be suspended while pretune runs. A pre-tune can be configured to run at every
power up using the Auto Pre-Tune function.

for full details.
PID Control
Also refer to: Auto Pre-Tune; PID; Process Variable;
Self-Tune; and Tuning.
Proportional Integral and Derivative control maintains
accurate and stable levels in a process (e.g. when controlling temperature or humidity etc). Proportional control avoids the oscillation characteristic of on-off control by continuously adjusting the correcting variable
output(s) to keep the process variable stable. Integral
action eliminates control deviation errors, and Derivative action counters rapid process movements.
Power Output Limits
Used to limit the correcting variable. Normally the control algorithm can set these outputs to any value between 0% and 100%. If this is undesirable in a particular application, individual settings can limit the primary
power upper and lower levels and the secondary power
upper and lower levels for each control loop. The upper
limit values must be higher than the lower limits. These
parameters are not applicable if that output is set for
on-off control. Use with caution: The instrument will not
be able to control the process if the limits do not allow
the outputs to be set to the correct values needed to
maintain setpoint.

and integral & derivative times. These values are en-

is used for the second output. The control action can
be direct or reverse acting, switching the direction of
change in power relative to the change in PV.

Profile Control Menu
Also refer to: Control Action; Control Type; Overlap/
Deadband; PID; Process Variable; Secondary Proportional Band; and Tuning.
If the profiler option is fitted, a profile control menu is
available from the main menu. It allows the user to select or run a profile, and then control that profile (run,
hold, abort, skip to next segment etc.).
Process High Alarm
Refer to the Profiler Control Menu information in the
Configuration & Use section.
An alarm configured to as Process High will activate
once the process has been above the high alarm value
for longer than the alarm minimum duration time. Once
activated, the level must drop below the alarm trigger
point by more than the alarm hysteresis value before it
will deactivate. High alarm activation is not affected by
setpoint changes or the level of control deviation.
Also refer to: Main Menu; Profile Setup Menu; Profiler
and Profiler Mode.
Profile Events
Events are outputs that can be made active during
profile segments. Any of the five events tracks can be
configured to be active or inactive for the duration of
each segment, from the profile setup menu. For end
segments, events selected to be stay active until the
unit is powered down or a new profile runs. It is possible to logically link event and alarms to outputs with a
boolean OR or AND selection.

Process Inputs
The main inputs used to monitor the process value(s)
being controlled. The input are “Universal”, supporting
all common thermocouples, PT100 & NI120 RTDs, potentiometers and DC linear mV, voltage or mA signals.
Linear inputs are compatible with any parameter that
can be converted to a suitable electronic signal. They
can be scaled into engineering units to match the process. The 2nd input can also act as an auxiliary input.
Also refer to: Alarm Types; Logical Combinations; Profile Segments; Profile Setup Menu; Profiler and Profiler

The profile header contains information about how the
profile starts and stops, the power loss recovery action, if the profile should repeat multiple times when
run as well as whether the profile runs as a single or
two loop profile.

An alarm configured to as Process Low will activate
once the process has been below the low alarm value
for longer than the alarm minimum duration time. Once
activated, the level must rise above the alarm trigger
point by more than the alarm hysteresis value before it
will deactivate. Low alarm activation is not affected by
setpoint changes or the level of control deviation.

Process Variable (PV)
Also refer to: Profile Events, Profile Setup Menu, Profiler and Profiler Mode.
Process Variables are the parameter to be controlled.
Each control loop monitors its PV via one of the process inputs. PVs can be any type that can be measured
by these circuits. Common types are thermocouple or
RTD temperature probes, or pressure, level, flow etc
from transducers that convert these parameters into
DC linear input signals (e.g. 4 to 20mA). Linear signals
can be scaled into engineering units using the input
upper & lower limits.
Profile Setup Menu
If the Profiler option is fitted, a profile setup menu is
available from the main menu. It allows the user to create or edit the profile header and profile segments. Profiles can also be deleted from this menu. This menu is

Profiler
Ratio Control
A profiler controls the value of the actual setpoint over
time; increasing, decreasing or holding its value as
required. This is used in applications where the rate
of rise or fall of the process variable must be closely
controlled, or where a value must be maintained for a
period before moving to the next value. If the Profiler
is fitted, up to 64 profiles can be created with 255 segments shared amongst them. These profiles can control the setpoints for loop 1 only or both loops. Each
segment can activate/deactivate the five events.
Ratio control is where part of the process is controlled
in proportion to another part. For example, it could mix
two materials at a desired ratio by adjusting the flow of
input 1 in relation to the flow measured by input 2. The
flow of input 2 may be controlled separately, but not
by the ratio loop. If two process inputs are fitted, this
instrument can be configured for stoichiometric combustion control, where the fuel-air ratio is controlled for
a burner.
Refer to the Ratio Control section of this manual for full
details.

Profiler Mode
If the data recorder is fitted, a recorder configuration sub-menu is added to configuration mode. This
is used to adjust the recorder parameters (recording
mode, sample interval, recording triggers and values
to record).
Recorder Configuration
This mode is entered when a profile is selected or run.
The instrument will remain in profiler mode when the
profile finishes or is aborted, unless the segment end
type/profile abort action is set to “Use Controller Setpoint”.

Recorder Menu
Proportional Control
If the data recorder is fitted, a recorder menu is added
to the main menu. This is used to control the recording
manual recording trigger, delete recordings or to show
the recorder status. This menu is protected by a lock
code. Refer to the Recorder Menu information in the
Configuration & Use section.
Proportional control gradually changes the correcting variable applied from 0 to 100% of the available
power as the process moves through the “Proportional
Band”. If the control type is dual, both primary & secondary outputs available, equating to -100 to +100%.
When the proportional bands are correctly tuned, the
process is maintained at a steady value, avoiding the
oscillation characteristic of on-off control. Proportional
control is commonly used in conjunction with integral
and derivative action to give PI. PD or PID control.
Also refer to: Lock Codes; Main Menu and Data Recorder
Relay
An electromechanical switch operated by a solenoid
coil. Relays are used for alarms or, on-off/time proportioning control outputs. The limited current capacity
and switching cycles of the internal relays means that
they are often connected to larger external slave relays/contactors which are capable of switching much
larger currents and are easily replaced once worn out.
A suitably rated RC snubber should be used to suppress noise generated as they switch (refer to the noise
suppression information in the Electrical Installation
section).

Rate
- Refer to Derivative Action.
Rate of Change Alarm
An alarm based on the rate of change in the measured
process variable. If the PV changes at a rate greater
than the alarm level, the alarm will activate. The rate of
change must be above the alarm threshold for longer
than the alarm minimum duration time before the alarm
will change state (from on to off, or off to on). Caution:
If the duration is less than this time, the alarm will not
activate no matter how fast the rate of rise.

Retransmit Output
A linear VDC or mADC output signal proportional to
the process variable or setpoint, for use by slave controllers in multi-zone applications or external devices,

span.
RS485
RS485 (also known as EIA-485) is two-wire, half-duplex, multi-drop serial communications connection.
RS485 only defines the physical layer electrical specification, not the protocol that is transmitted across it.
It uses differential signals (the voltage difference between the wires) to convey data. One polarity indicates
a logic 1, the reverse polarity indicates logic 0. The applied voltages can be between +12 V and -7 volts, but
the difference of potential must be > 0.2 volts for valid
operation. RS485 can span distances up to 1200 metres using inexpensive twisted pair wires. Data speeds
can be as high as 35 Mbit/s over 10 m and 100 kbit/s at
1200 m. This instrument supports 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600 or 115200 bps.

Retransmit Output Scale Maximum
Scales a linear output if it has been selected to retransmit a process or setpoint value. Retransmit scale maximum defines the point at which the output will be at its
maximum value. E.g. for a 0 to 5V output, it is the PV or
SP value corresponding to 5V. If this parameter is set to
less than the retransmit output scale minimum, the relationship between the process/setpoint value and the
retransmission output is reversed so that higher PV/SP
values give a lower output.
It is recommended that the wires be connected as
series of point-to-point (multi-dropped) nodes (not
in a star or ring format), with 120Ω termination resistors connected across the wires at the two ends of
the network. Without termination resistors, electrical
noise sensitivity is increased and signal reflections can
cause data corruption. The master device should provide powered resistors to bias the wires to known voltages when they are not being driven. Without biasing
the data lines float, so noise can be interpreted as data.
Also refer to: Process Variable; Retransmit Output; Retransmit Output Scale Minimum; Scaled Input Upper
Limit and Setpoint.
Retransmit Output Scale Minimum
Scales a linear output if it has been selected to retransmit a process or setpoint value. Retransmit scale minimum defines the point at which the output will be at its
minimum value. E.g. for a 0 to 5V output, it is the PV or
SP value corresponding to 0V. If this parameter is set
to a value greater than that for retransmit output scale
maximum, the relationship between the process/setpoint value and the retransmission output is reversed
so that higher PV/SP values give a lower output level.
Converters from RS232 or USB to RS485 allow computers to communicate over RS485. Repeaters can be
used to extend the distance and/or number of nodes
on a network.

RTD
Resistance Temperature Detector. A temperature sensor that changes resistance with a change in the measured temperature. This instrument supports PT100
(platinum, 100Ω at 0°C) and NI120 (nickel, 120Ω at
0°C) sensors. These have positive temperature coefficients (PTC) which means their resistance increases
with higher temperatures. The temperature measured
by the sensor can be displayed as °C; °F or K.

parameter should be set to 14). The value can be set
from -1999 to 9999 and can be set to a value less than
(but not within 100 LSDs of) the Scaled Input Lower
Limit, in which case the sense of the input is reversed.
If a thermocouple or RTD is disconnected or breaks,
the instrument detects the condition within 2 seconds,
and sets the control loops output(s) to a value defined
by the sensor break pre-set power parameter in the
control configuration sub-menu. Process, band and
deviation alarms behave as though the PV has gone
high. Non-zero based linear inputs (e.g. 2 to10V or 4
to 20mA, but not 0 to 20mA) also detect sensor break
conditions and set the same pre-set power value, but
alarms behave as though the PV has gone low.
For thermocouple and RTD inputs, it is used to reduce
the effective span of the input. All span related functions work from the trimmed input span. It can be adjusted within the limits of the range, but not less than
100 LSD’s above the Scaled Input Lower Limit.

Secondary Proportional Band
If the control type is set to dual, this is the portion of
the input span over which the secondary output power
level is proportional to the process variable value. The
control action for the secondary output is always the
opposite of the primary output.
Set Valve Closed Position
When valve position indication is used in valve motor
drive control mode, this parameter defines the input
value that is measured by the 2nd input when the valve
is fully closed. The valve must be driven to its “Closed”
end stop before setting this parameter. It must not be
used to limit valve movement; separate Valve Close
and Open Limit parameters are available for this purpose. Also refer to Auxiliary Input; Set Valve Opened

Self-Tune
Self-Tune continuously optimizes tuning while a controller is operating. It monitors control deviation errors
and uses them to calculate new PID values. If the controller is new or the application has changed, the initial
values may be far from ideal, in which case pre-tune
can be used to first establish new initial values. Selftune will then fine-tune these values. Self-tune is suspended while pre-tune is running.
Set Valve Opened Position
When valve position indication is used in valve motor drive control mode, this parameter defines the input value that is measured by the 2nd input, when the
valve is fully opened. The valve must be driven to its
“Open” end stop before setting this parameter. It must
not be used to limit valve movement; separate Valve

Setpoint
Setpoint Selection
The target value at which the instrument attempts to
maintain the process, by adjusting its control output
power (the correcting variable). There are two setpoints
for each control loop. A main local setpoint and an alternate setpoint that can be another local setpoint or a
remote setpoint input from an auxiliary input. One setpoint at a time is chosen to be active using the setpoint
selection, or if the profiler is fitted it can set the actual
setpoint value over time. Setpoint values are always
limited by the setpoint limits.
The setpoint select parameter in the control sub-menu
defines whether the active setpoint will be the main or
alternate setpoint. The choice of setpoint can also be
made via a digital input or an operation mode if the
selection screen has been enabled.
Also refer to: Active Setpoint; Display Configuration;
Alternate Setpoint; Digital Input; and Setpoint.
Setup Wizard
A sub-set of the configuration menu parameters chosen to allow easy setup for basic applications. Users with more complex applications should select the
parameters they need directly from the configuration
menus. The wizard runs automatically at the first ever
power-up and exits to operation mode when completed. The wizard can be run manually from the main
menu (requires an unlock code). An option to reset all
parameters to default is offered when manually running
the wizard.
Also refer to: Alternate Setpoint; Auxiliary Input; Correcting Variable; Local Setpoints; Process Variable;

Setpoint Upper Limit
The maximum value allowed for setpoints, adjustable
within the scaled input limits. The value should be set
below any level that might cause problems in the process. If the value is moved below the current value of a
setpoint, that setpoint will automatically adjust to keep
it within bounds.

Solid State Relay (SSR)
Setpoint Lower Limit
An external device manufactured using two silicone
controlled rectifiers in reverse parallel. SSRs can replace mechanical relays in most AC power applications. Some special SSRs can switch DC, but most
cannot. As a solid-state device, an SSR does not suffer from contact degradation when switching electrical current. Much faster switching cycle times are also
possible, leading to superior control. The triac option
on this instrument provides is a small 1amp AC internal SSR. The SSR driver options on this instrument
provide >10VDC time-proportioned pulses at the rate
defined by the cycle time. When applied to the signal
input of an external SSR, it causes it to pulse current
from the line supply to the load. The external SSR can
be any current capacity available.
The minimum value allowed for setpoints, adjustable
within the scaled input limits. The value should be set
above any level that might cause problems in the process. If the value is moved above the current value of a
setpoint, that setpoint will automatically adjust to keep
it within bounds.
Also refer to: Input Span; Scaled Input Lower Limit;
Setpoint and Setpoint Upper Limit.
Setpoint Ramp Rate
Setpoint ramping is used to protect the process from
sudden changes in the setpoint, which would result in
a rapid change in the process variable. A rate is set
at which the actual setpoint value ramps towards its
target value, when the setpoint value is adjusted or the
active setpoint is changed. The feature can be turned
off by setting the ramp rate to “OFF”.
Also refer to: Cycle Time; Time Proportioning Control;
Relay; and Triac.
Solenoid Valve
To further protect the process, the initial value of the
setpoint is made equal to the current process variable
value at power-up, when switching back to automatic
from manual control, from control disabled to enabled
or after a sensor break is repaired. The actual setpoint
will rise/fall from this value at the ramp rate set, until it
reaches the target setpoint value.
An electromechanical device, use to control the flow
of gases or liquids. Unlike a modulating valve, a solenoid valve has just two states, open or closed. Usually
a spring holds the valve closed until a current passed
through the solenoid coil forces it open. Standard control mode is required with a time-proportioned or onoff output for this type of valve. Solenoid valves are
often used with high/low flame burners. A bypass supplies some fuel at all times, but not enough to heat the
process more than a nominal amount (low flame). A
controller output opens the valve when the process requires additional heat (high flame).

Trend Displays
Supervisor Mode allows access to a lock-code protected sub-set of the main configuration parameters. Up to
50 configuration menu parameters can be chosen for
inclusion in using the PC configuration software.
Trend views are a standard feature on all models. They
graphically represent recent process conditions for the
control loops, showing the most recent 120 out of 240
stored data points. This data can be the process variable; process variable & setpoint (shown as a doted
line) or the minimum and maximum value of the process variable measured since the last sample. The
scaling adjusts automatically to the visible data. Any
active alarms are indicated above the graph. The user
can scroll the right hand cursor line back to examine
all 240 data points. Their sample interval and data to
display is set in display configuration.
Refer to the Supervisor Mode information in the Configuration & Use section.
Also refer to: Configuration Menu; Lock Codes and
PC Software.
Thermocouple
A temperature sensor made from two different metals. The thermoelectric effect generates a small signal
(a few microvolts per °C) relative to the difference between the “cold” junction (at the measuring instrument)
and the “hot” junction. This does mean that the wires
and connectors used must match the metals used in
their construction. Other issues are their nonlinearity
and limited accuracy. However, basic thermocouples
are cheap to make and can measure a wide range of
temperatures. While those made from more exotic materials can even withstand the very high temperatures
found in furnaces.
Unlike the optional data recorder, trend views do not
retain the stored data if the power is turned off.
Also refer to: Alarm Types; Display Configuration; Operation Mode; and Process Variable; Setpoint.
Tuning
PID Controllers must be tuned to the process in order
for them to attain the optimum level of control. Adjustment is made to the tuning terms either manually, or via

the controller is configured for on-off Control.

Three Point Stepping Control
Tuning Menu
Motorized modulating valves normally require a special
“Three Point Stepping” control algorithm. This which
provides an output to move the valve further open, or
further closed whenever there is a control deviation error. When this error is zero, no further output is required
to maintain control unless load conditions change. This
type of control is use when the instrument is in Valve
Motor Drive (VMD) control mode.
The tuning menu can be accessed from the main menu.
This menu is lock-code protected. It gives access to
the pre-tune, auto pre-tune and self-tune facilities.
These assist with PID tuning, by setting up Proportional
bands, Integral and Derivative time values.
Pre-tune can be used to set PID parameters initially.
Self-tune may then be used to optimize the tuning if
required. Pre-tune can be set to run automatically after
every power-up by enabling Auto Pre-Tune.

Valve Motor Control

Time Proportioning Control
Also refer to: Auto Pre-Tune; Derivative Action; Integral
Action; Lock Codes; Main Menu; On-Off control; PID;
Pre-Tune; Primary Proportional Band; Self-Tune and
Secondary Proportional Band.
Time proportioning control is accomplished by cycling
the output on and off during the prescribed cycle time,
whenever the process variable is within the proportional band(s). The PID control algorithm determines the
ratio of time (on vs. off) to achieve the level of the correcting variable required to remove the control deviation error. E.g. for a 32 second cycle time, 25% power
would result in the output turning on for 8 seconds,
then off to 24 seconds. This type of output might be
used with electrical contactors, solid state relays or solenoid valves. Time proportioning control can be implemented with relay, triac or SSR driver outputs.
Triac
A small internal solid state relay, which can be used in
place of a mechanical relay for low power AC switching (0.1 to 1 amp AC). Like a relay, the output is time
proportioned. However, as solid-state devices, triacs
do not suffer from contact degradation so much faster
switching cycle times are possible, offering improved
control and reliability. A snubber should be fitted across
inductive loads to ensure reliable switch off the triac.
Also refer to: Control Deviation; Correcting Variable;
Continuous Control; Cycle Time; PID; Primary Propor206
Valve Position or Flow Indication
Also refer to: Cycle Time; Relay; SSR and Time Proportioning Control.
The valve motor drive control mode does not require
any kind of position feedback in order to correctly control the process. However, where potentiometer feedback or (mA or VDC) flow signals are available, they
can be connected to the 2nd input to indicate valve
position or flow level. The display is a percentage (0
to 100%) shown as a bar-graph in the main operator
mode screen. Even if position feedback is provided, it
is not used by the VMD control algorithm when positioning the valve, thus avoiding problems associated
with faulty feedback signals.
USB Menu
A lock-code protected USB menu is offered from the
main menu for the USB option. This allows the user to
read or write files to a USB memory stick. The current
configuration of the instrument can be copied to the
stick, or the instrument can be reconfigured from a file
created using the PC software or copied from another
instrument. Profiles can also be copied from the instrument to a USB stick or you can upload pre-stored files
created earlier from the PC software or copied from another instrument. Data recordings can be copied to the
stick for later analysis on a PC.
Also refer to Auxiliary Input; Bar-graph; Display Strategy; Open Loop VMD; PID; Set Valve Closed Position;
Set Valve Open Position; Setpoint; and Valve Motor
Control.
Refer to the USB Menu information in the Configuration
& Use section.
Valve Open & Closed Limits
Also refer to: Data Recorder; Lock Codes; Main Menu;
PC Software and Profiler
When valve position indication is used in VMD control mode, the valve limit parameters can be used to
“clamp” the maximum and minimum valve positions.
The controller will not attempt to drive the valve past
these points. The position indication input must correctly scaled using “set valve open” and “set valve
closed” before using the valve limits.
Valve Motor Drive Control (VMD)
This control mode is used when directly controlling
the motor of a modulating valve or damper. It uses a
3-point stepping Valve Motor Drive control algorithm
to open or close the valve. VMD mode is not suitable
if the modulating valve has its own positioning circuit
(use standard control with a continuous current proportioned linear output) or solenoid valves (use standard control with a time proportioned output).

Position; Valve Motor Control and Valve Position Indication.

PC Software
The primary function of the software is to create, download and store instrument configurations and profiles. If
the data recorder feature is fitted, its recordings can be
downloaded and analysed via the software.
An additional software tool is available to set the IP address required for the Modbus TCP communications
option - refer to the Network Configuration section.
Using the PC Software
There are several extra features that are only possible
via the software. Changes can be made to the operation of the instrument by adding extra screens into operation mode, enabling and configuring a “Supervisor
Mode”, as well as changing the contact details, alarm
status labels or the functions and labels of the front
LED’s. You can download a new language file or customize the controller by changing the start-up “splash
screen”.
The menus and button bar are used to select the main
parameter screena or one of the other modes or functions. Hover the mouse over the parameter description
or value to view a fuller description. Consult the comprehensive help (available from the Help Menu) for information about the general software functions.
An on-screen simulation of the instrument can be setup and tested on a configurable load simulation prior to
downloading the settings to an instrument.

Configuring the Connection
Connection from PC to Bottom Configuration Socket
The software communicates with the instrument using
Modbus via the RJ11 configuration socket located on
the underside of the case, or via the Ethernet or RS485
options if fitted. Refer to the wiring section for connection details. The configuration socket is intended for
initial configuration before installing the instrument in
the application. An RS232 to TTL lead (available from
your supplier) is required to connect this socket to your
PCs RS232 serial port or USB to RS232 adaptor. A
front mounted USB port is available on some models;
this can also be used to configure the instrument or
transfer profile files, via a USB memory stick.
When using the built-in configuration socket, set the
communications parameters as shown here and in the
following table.
• Device connector = Configuration Socket
• PC connector = the PC Serial Com port number you
are connected to
• Start and Stop bits = 1
• Data bits = 8.
• Parity, Bit Rate & Address = must match settings in
the table below
Note: When uploading or downloading via the bottom mounted configuration port, the required software communication settings depend on the module fitted in slot A. See the table below.
ELECTRIC SHOCK/FIRE HAZARD. The configuration lead/socket is not isolated from the process input or SSR Driver outputs. It is not intended for use in live applications. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
A communications settings screen is shown whenever
the user attempts to connect to the instrument from the

manually. For the latest version, go to: www.lantronix.
com/device-networking/utilities-tools/device-installer.
html
The supported data rates 10/100BASE-T (10 or 100
Mbps) are automatically detected.
Changing the IP Address
Connect the instrument to your network by plugging an
Ethernet cable into the top mounted RJ45 socket. Run
the DeviceInstaller™ tool from a PC on the same net-
work. The tool should automatically find this and any
other controllers on the network. If not use the search
button.
The existing IP and Hardware (MAC) addresses are
shown for the instruments found.
It is recommended to keep all other Ethernet device
settings at the default values. If you do change the internal interface transfer speed or parity, matching settings must be made to the instruments Modbus data
rate and parity settings in the communications configuration menu.
Click the Assign IP button and enter the correct hardware address from the list (if necessary, confirm the
number by comparing the hardware address with the
number printed on Ethernet adaptor label).
Note: You can enter any valid IP address, perhaps
for use in another location, but if the number used
does not match your existing network settings, further communication with the instrument will cease.
At the next screen, choose whether to obtain the IP address automatically or to enter a specific address. For
automatic addresses, select the protocols supported
on your network (DHCP, BootP or AutoIP. For a specific
address, enter the address, sub-net mask and default
gateway information. Your network administrator will
be able to provide this information. Press the assign
button to confirm.

Instrument Configuration
Main Parameter Adjustment
The main parameter screen contains the configuration settings broken down into functional groups similar to the instruments’ menus. The parameters can be
changed in the yellow Value column. Type in new values or select from the list offered. Invalid values will be
highlighted in red (possible values are show to the left).
Parameters are “greyed out” if they are inaccessible
due the hardware not being fitted or if they are disabled
by other settings.
Once the required changes are made, the configuration can then be download to the instrument or saved
to hard disk or a USB stick, with a .bct file extension.
The file contains the device information and configuration parameter settings, including any supervisor and
enhanced operation mode screens or changes to the
LED functions. Transfer of comms settings and clock
date/time are via optional tick boxes on the download
settings screen. Profiles, splash screens language files
and data recordings are not saved in the .bct file. They
are uploaded/saved separately.
When creating a new configuration with the software,
the basic instrument type and the options fitted to it
must be defined in the Device Selection screen. You
can select these from the drop down lists or by typing
the full model number in the Order number field.
Note: It is important that the options selected match
those fitted to your unit.
Alternatively the complete instrument type and existing configuration can be uploaded to the PC from your
instrument, via the configuration socket or serial communications. A previously saved configuration file can
be opened from the file open menu or button.

*Inverted Logic
Logic High = Open contacts (>5000Ω) or 2 to 24VDC signal
Logic Low = Closed contacts (<50Ω) or -0.6 to +0.8VDC signal
Digital Input Sensitivity:
Inputs set for: Control disable; Auto/Manual; Setpoint Select; Pre-Tune; SelfTune; Profile Run/Hold and Profile Hold Segment Release are all Edge Sensitive,
where a High-Low or Low-High transition changes the function status. Pre-Tune
is always off at power on (except if using the auto pre-tune feature), but others
functions retain their power off status at power on. Inputs set for: Profile Abort;
Data Recorder Trigger; Output Forcing; Clearing Latched Outputs; Key Mimic and
Profile Selection are all Level Sensitive, where a high or low input sets the function status. Digital inputs generally work in parallel with equivalent menus, where
either can change the function status.
Response Time:
Response within <0.25 second of signal state change.
Isolation:
Reinforced safety isolation from inputs and other outputs.
