1 Introduction

These instruments are microprocessor based indicators, process and valve controllers, and indicators. They can measure, display or control process variables such as temperature, pressure, flow and level from a variety of inputs. Models are available in three sizes.

(48 x 48mm front).

The operating voltage is either 100-240V at 50/60 Hz or 24V-48V AC/DC depending on the model purchased. EEPROM technology protects against data or configuration loss during power outages.

Inputs are user configurable for connection to thermocouple and RTD probes, as well as linear process signal types such as mVDC, VDC or mADC. Output options include relays,

SSR drivers, triacs or linear mV/voltage modules. These can be used for process control, valve control, alarms or retransmission of the process variable or setpoint to external devices such as data recorders or PLC’s. A Transmitter Power Supply option module can provide an unregulated 24V DC (22mA) auxiliary output voltage for external signal transmitters.

Alarm indication is standard on all instruments; up to five alarms are possible on the indicators. Alarms may be set as process high or low, deviation (active above or below controller setpoint), band (active both above and below setpoint), or control loop types.

Models with a heater current input also have high, low or short circuit heater break alarms based on control load current. These alarms can be linked to any suitable output. Alarm status is indicated by LED’s or the alarm status screen.

Controllers can be programmed for on-off, time proportioning, or current proportioning control implementations, depending on the output modules fitted, and feature manual or automatic tuning of the PID parameters. A secondary control output is available when additional output modules are fitted. Valve Motor Drive (Three Point Stepping Control) is possible on some models. Optional analogue controller Remote Setpoint inputs included in the range. Control functions, alarm settings and other parameters are easily adjusted from the front keypad or via PC based configuration software.

Limit Controllers shut down a process in order to prevent possible damage to equipment or products. They have latching relay, which cannot be reset until the process is in a safe condition. Limit controllers work independently of the normal process controller and have approvals for safety critical applications.

Indicator models can display a process value and provide multiple stage alarm outputs.

Additional features include Multipoint scaling to compensate for non-linear signals and a Tare function to auto-zero the current reading.

Preparing to Install or Remove Options Modules

CAUTION:

Before removing the instrument from it’s housing, ensure that all power has been removed from the rear terminals.

1. Remove the instrument from its housing by gripping the side edges of the front panel

(there is a finger grip on each edge) and pull the instrument forwards. This will release the instrument from the rear connectors in the housing and will give access to the PCBs.

2. Take note of the orientation of the instrument for subsequent replacement into the housing. The positions of the main and option PCBs in the instrument are shown below.

Removing/Replacing Option Modules

With the instrument removed from its housing:

1. To remove or replace modules into Option Slots 1,A or B, it is necessary to gently separate the CPU and PSU PCBs. This is achieved by detaching the main boards (PSU and CPU) from the front moulding by lifting first the upper and then lower mounting struts as shown. This frees the boards from the front. If only Option slots 2 or 3 are to be changed, this stage is not required as these slots are accessible without separating the main boards from the front.

Replacing the Instrument in its Housing

With the required option modules correctly located into their respective positions the instrument can be replaced into its housing as follows:

1. If required, move the CPU and PSU boards back together, taking care to locate the option module tongues into the slots in the board opposite. Hold the main boards together whilst relocating them back into the mounting struts on the front panel.

2. Align the CPU and PSU PCBs with their guides and connectors in the housing.

3. Slowly and firmly, push the instrument in position.

CAUTION:

Ensure that the instrument is correctly orientated. A mechanical stop will operate if an attempt is made to insert the instrument in the wrong orientation, this stop MUST

NOT be over-ridden.

4 Wiring Instructions

Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. As with any instrumentation, these guidelines should be followed to minimize the effect of noise.

Installation Considerations

Ignition transformers, arc welders, mechanical contact relays and solenoids are all common sources of electrical noise in an industrial environment and therefore the following guidelines

MUST be followed.

1. If the instrument is being installed in existing equipment, the wiring in the area should be checked to ensure that good wiring practices have been followed.

2. Noise-generating devices such as those listed should be mounted in a separate enclosure. If this is not possible, separate them from the instrument, by the largest distance possible.

3. If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relays and replace with solid-state relays. If a mechanical relay being powered by an output of this instrument cannot be replaced, a solid-state relay can be used to isolate the instrument.

4. A separate isolation transformer to feed only the instrumentation should be considered.

The transformer can isolate the instrument from noise found on the AC power input.

AC Power Wiring - Neutral (for 100 to 240V AC versions)

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.

Wire Isolation

Four voltage levels of input and output wiring may be used with the unit:

1. Analogue input or output (for example thermocouple, RTD, VDC, mVDC or mADC)

2. Relays & Triac outputs

3. SSR Driver outputs

4. AC power

CAUTION:

The only wires that should run together are those of the same category.

If any wires need to run parallel with any other lines, maintain a minimum space of 150mm between them.

If wires MUST cross each other, ensure they do so at 90 degrees to minimise interference.

Use of Shielded Cable

All analogue signals must use shielded cable. This will help eliminate electrical noise induction on the wires. Connection lead length must be kept as short as possible keeping the wires protected by the shielding. The shield should be grounded at one end only. The preferred grounding location is at the sensor, transmitter or transducer.

Noise Suppression at Source

Usually when good wiring practices are followed, no further noise protection is necessary.

Sometimes in severe electrical environments, the amount of noise is so great that it has to be suppressed at source. Many manufacturers of relays, contactors etc supply 'surge suppressors' which mount on the noise source. For those devices that do not have surge suppressors supplied, Resistance-Capacitance (RC) networks and/or Metal Oxide Varistors

(MOV) may be added.

Inductive coils:- MOVs are recommended for transient suppression in inductive coils, connected in parallel and as close as possible to the coil. Additional protection may be provided by adding an RC network across the MOV.

Figure 9. Transient suppression with inductive coils

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.

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.

Sensor Placement (Thermocouple or RTD)

If the temperature probe is to be subjected to corrosive or abrasive conditions, it must be protected by an appropriate thermowell. The probe must be positioned to reflect true process temperature:

1. In a liquid media - the most agitated area

2. In air - the best circulated area

CAUTION:

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. Two wire RTDs must only be used with lead lengths less than 3 metres. Use of three wire RTDs is strongly recommended.

Thermocouple Wire Identification Chart

The different thermocouple types are identified by their wires colour, and where possible, the outer insulation as well. There are several standards in use throughout the world.

5 Powering Up

WARNING:

ENSURE SAFE WIRING PRACTICES ARE FOLLOWED

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.

CAUTION:

When powering up for the first time, disconnect the output connections.

Powering Up Procedure

At power up, a self-test procedure is automatically started, during which all LED segments and indicators are lit. At the first power up from new, or if the option modules are changed,

will be displayed, indicating configuration is required (refer to section 6). At all other times, the instrument returns to operator mode once the self-test procedure is complete.

Overview Of Front Panel

The illustration below shows a typical instrument front panel. Refer to the following table –

Typical LED functions for a description of the front panel indicators. Each model in the range will vary slightly from the example shown.

Automatic Tune Mode

Automatic Tune Mode is selected when it is desired to use the Pre-tune and Self-tune facilities on a controller to assist the user in setting up Proportional band, Integral and

Derivative parameter values. Refer to the following Automatic Tune Mode table.

Pre-tune can be used to set Controller PID parameters approximately. Self-tune may then be used to optimise the tuning. Pre-tune can be set to run automatically after every power-up using the Auto Pre-Tune parameter in Setup Mode.

The AT indicator will flash while pre-tune is operating, and is continuously on whilst Self-tune is operating. If both Pre-tune and Self-tune are engaged the AT indicator will flash until Pre-tune is finished, and is then continuously on.

Navigating in Automatic Tune Mode

Press to select the next parameter in the table and or to set the value required.

Hold down and press to return to Select Mode.

Note:

If there is no key activity for 2 minutes the controller automatically returns to operator mode

P6100, P8100 & P4100 Controllers - Operator Mode

This is the mode used during normal operation of the instrument. It can be accessed from

Select Mode, and is the usual mode entered at power-up. The available displays are dependent upon whether Dual or Remote Setpoint modes are being used, whether Setpoint

Ramping is enabled and the setting of the Display Strategy parameter in Configuration Mode.

Note:

For model P6120 only the Initial Operator Mode screen is available.

WARNING:

IN NORMAL OPERATION, THE OPERATOR MUST NOT REMOVE THE CONTROLLER FROM

ITS HOUSING OR HAVE UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO THE REAR TERMINALS, AS THIS

WOULD PROVIDE POTENTIAL CONTACT WITH HAZARDOUS LIVE PARTS.

CAUTION:

Set all Configuration Mode parameters and Set Up Mode parameters as required before starting normal operations.

P6100, P8100 & P4100 Controllers – Extended Operator Mode

Using the PC configuration software, it is possible to extend the Operator Mode displays available by adding parameters from Setup Mode. When an extended Operator Mode is configured the additional parameters are available after the standard operator displays.

Note:

This mode is not applicable to the P6120.

Navigating in Operator Mode

Press to move between displays.

When a display value can be adjusted, use or to change its value.

Note:

The operator can freely view the parameters in this mode, but alteration depends on the settings in the Configuration and Set Up Modes. All parameters in Display strategy 6 are read only, and can only be adjusted via Setup mode.

Special Wiring Considerations for Valve Motor Control

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 relays, two triacs, two SSR drivers or one dual relay. The relay contacts are rated at 240VAC (120V max for direct Valve Motor control – see

CAUTION

below).

When using two relays (with SPDT change-over contacts), it is recommended to interlock the relay wiring as shown. This prevents both motor windings from being driven at the same time, even under fault conditions.

Close Valve Winding

N/C

“CLOSE” RELAY 120VAC SUPPLY

Figure 38. Interlocking of Valve Relays

CAUTION:

The windings of a valve motor effectively form an Autotransformer. This causes 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.

P6170, P8170 & P4170 – Setup Mode

This mode is normally selected only after Configuration Mode has been completed, and is used when a change to the process set up is required. It can affect the range of adjustments available in Operator Mode. Some Setup Mode parameters can be copied into Operator

Mode by the PC Configurator software. This is called Extended Operator Mode. These parameters appear after the normal Operator Mode screen sequence has been completed.

Note:





Setup Mode.





Once the displayed value is changed, the effect is immediate. No confirmation of the change is required.

Note:


Adjusting the Valve Parameters

Before Valve Position Indication can be used, the user must first adjust the Set Valve

Opened Position and Set Valve Closed Position parameters. These define the input value that will be measured by the Auxiliary Input when the valve is at its physical end stops. They must be set correctly even if the valve will not be driven to its end stops in the application.

The user may optionally set the Valve Open Limit and Valve Close Limit. These are upper and lower valve position clamps, which the controller will not attempt to drive the valve past.

Note:

Valve Position Indication is only possible if an Auxiliary Input option module is fitted, and has been configured for this function.

Limit Setpoint Adjustment

Adjustment of the Limit Setpoint can be only made from Setup Mode.

Exceed Condition

An Exceed Condition occurs when the Process Variable exceeds the Limit Setpoint value

(i.e. PV is greater than the Limit Setpoint when set for high limit action, PV is less than the

Limit Setpoint for low limit action). The LED is on during this condition, and is extinguished once it has passed.

Limit Output Function

The Limit Output relay(s) de-energise whenever an Exceed condition occurs, causing the process to shut down. The LED is on when the relay is de-energised.

The relay remains latched off even if the Exceed condition is no longer present. A reset instruction must be given after the exceed condition has passed to re-energise the relay, allowing the process to continue. The LED then turns off.

Limit Annunciator Outputs

An Annunciator output will activate when an Exceed condition occurs, and will remain active until a reset instruction is received, or the Exceed condition has passed. Unlike the Limit

Output, an Annunciator can be reset even if the Exceed condition is present. When an

Annunciator is active, the LED will flash and the Alarm Status screen is available.

Resetting Limit Outputs & Annunciators

A reset instruction can be given by any of the following methods. The front panel Reset key, the Digital Input (if fitted) or via Serial Communications command if an RS485

Communications module is fitted.

Using The Reset Key To Reset Limit Outputs & Annunciators

Press the key reset an active Annunciator or latched Limit Relay.

Note:

Annunciators will deactivate immediately, Limit Outputs will only re-energise if the Exceed condition has passed.

CAUTION:

Ensure that the cause of the Exceed condition has been rectified before resetting the Limit Output.

Alarm Indications

The alarm status screen indicates any active alarms, in addition the associated

Alarm LED flashes.

For latching alarm outputs, the LED FLASHES when the alarm condition exists, and goes to ON when the alarm condition is no longer present if the output has not yet been reset, to indicate that the relay is in the Latched on condition.

Resetting Latched Alarm Outputs

Latched outputs can be reset whilst the Process variable or Alarm Status screens are displayed, via the Digital Input (if fitted), with a communications command via the RS485 module (if fitted) or from the front keypad as follows:

Press either or to reset the latched relay(s).

Note:

Outputs will only reset if their alarm condition is no longer present.

CAUTION:

A reset will affect ALL latched outputs.

For each breakpoint the input scale value ( n) is entered in % of input span, followed by the value to be shown ( $ n) in display units. Each breakpoint’s input scale value must be higher than the previous value, but the display values can be either higher or lower. Any scale value set to 100% becomes the last in the series.

Tare Feature

When Tare is enabled ( = in Configuration Mode), it can be used to set the displayed value to zero automatically, by making the PV Offset parameter equal, but opposite to, the current process variable value.

Tare can be initiated via the Digital Input (if fitted), with a communications command via the

RS485 module (if fitted) or by using the following key press sequence:

Press until the process variable is displayed.

Hold down and together for three seconds until the display shows

12 Manually Tuning Controllers

Single Control Tuning (PID with Primary Output only)

This simple technique balances the need to reach setpoint quickly, with the wish to limit setpoint overshoot at start-up or during process changes. It determines values for the

Primary Proportional Band ( """" ), Integral Time Constant (

Constant (

) and Derivative Time

) that allow the PID control algorithm to give acceptable results in most applications that use a single control device.

CAUTION:

This technique is suitable only for processes that are not harmed by large fluctuations in the process variable.

1. Check that the Setpoint Upper Limit ( ) and Setpoint Lower Limit ( safe levels for your process. Adjust if required.

) are set to

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 (i.e. set """" = 0).

4. Switch on the process. The process variable will 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 example diagram below - Manually Tuning PID.

5. Calculate the PID control parameters using the formula below. Input Span is the difference between Scale Range Lower Limit and Scale Range Upper Limit:

""""

= x 100

Input Span

= T minutes

Dual Control Tuning (PID with Primary and Secondary Outputs)

This simple tuning technique balances the need to reach setpoint quickly, with the wish to limit setpoint overshoot at start-up and during process changes. It determines values for the

Primary Proportional Band ( """" ), Secondary Proportional Band ( """" ), Integral Time

Constant ( ) and Derivative Time Constant ( ) that allow the PID control algorithm to give acceptable results in most applications that use dual control (e.g. Heat & Cool).

CAUTION:


1. Tune the controller using only the Primary Control output as described in the Single

Control Tuning section above.

2. Set """" to the same value as """" and monitor the operation of the controller in dual control mode. If there is a tendency to oscillate as the control passes into the Secondary

Proportional Band, increase the value of """" . If the process appears to be over-damped in the region of the Secondary Proportional Band, decrease the value of """" .

3. When the PID tuning values have been determined, if there is a kick to the process variable as control passes from one output 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.

Valve Control Tuning (PI with VMD or Linear Outputs)

This tuning technique is used when controlling a modulating valves, either with a Valve Motor

Drive Controller, or if a standard controller if the valve requires a linear (mA/VDC) signal for its positioning circuitry. It determines values for the Primary Proportional Band ( """" ), and

Integral Time Constant ( ). The Derivative Time Constant ( ) is normally set to zero

(OFF). This PI Control minimises valve wear whilst giving optimal process control.

CAUTION:


1. Check that the Motor Travel Time ( ) matches the time taken for the valve to travel between its physical end stops. Adjust if required.

2. Check that the Minimum Motor On Time ( ) matches the minimum drive effort needed to initiate valve movement when stationary. Adjust if required.

3. Set the setpoint to the normal operating process value (or to a lower value if overshoot beyond this value is likely to cause damage).

4. Set the Primary Proportional Band to the minimum value (i.e. set """" = 0.5%).

5. Set the Integral Time Constant to the maximum value (i.e. set = 99.59).

6. Set the Derivative Time Constant to OFF (i.e. set = 0.00).

Manually Fine Tuning.

A separate cycle time adjustment parameter is provided for each time proportioning control output.

Note:

Adjusting the cycle time affects the controllers operation; a shorter cycle time gives more accurate control but electromechanical components such as relays have a reduced life span.

1. Increase the width of the proportional band if the process overshoots or oscillates excessively.

2. Decrease the width of the proportional band if the process responds slowly or fails to reach setpoint.

3. Increase the automatic reset until the process becomes unstable, then decrease until stability has been restored.

Note:

Allow enough time for the controller and process to adjust.

4. Initially add rate at a value between 1/4 th

and 1/10 th

of the automatic reset value.

5. Decrease Rate if the process overshoots/undershoots or oscillates excessively.

Note:

When controlling a modulating valve, it is recommended that Rate (Derivative) is set to 0 seconds (OFF) to avoid excessive valve activity.

Rate can cause process instability.

6. After making all other adjustments, if an offset exists between the setpoint and the process variable use the Bias (manual reset) to eliminate the error:

Below setpoint - use a larger bias value

Above setpoint - use a smaller bias value.

13 Modbus Serial Communications

All models support the Modbus RTU communication protocol. Some models also support an

ASCII communication protocol. Where both Modbus and ASCII are supported, the protocol to be used is selected from Configuration Mode. The RS485 Communications Module must be fitted into Option Slot A in order to use serial communications.

Refer to the relevant Model Group Section for the ASCII and Modbus Application Layer

(parameter address/ident information).

For a complete description of the Modbus protocol refer to the description provided at http://www.modicon.com/ or http://www.modbus.org/

Physical Layer

The Base address, bit rate and character format are configured via the front panel in

Configuration Mode or by using the PC Configurator software.

Physical layer configuration settings possible are:

Data rate: 1200, 2400, 4800 (default), 9600 and 19,200 bps

Parity: None (default), Even, Odd

Character format: Always 8 bits per character.

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.

Note:

Three character times = 1.5ms at 19200, 3ms at 9600, 6ms at 4800, 12ms at 2400 and

24ms at 1200 bps.

Link Layer

A Query (or command) is transmitted from the Modbus Master to the Modbus Slave. The slave instrument assembles the reply to the master. All of the instruments covered by this manual are slave devices, and cannot act as a Modbus Master.

MODBUS

MASTER

SLAVE

INSTRUMENT

QUERY

RESPONSE

Figure 40. Modbus Link Layer

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.

Data is encoded for each character as binary data, transmitted LSB first.

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 given address, function and data characters.

For a RESPONSE the address field contains the address of the responding slave. The

Function and Data fields are generated by the slave application. The CRC is generated from the address, function and data characters.

Device Addressing

The instrument is assigned a unique device address by the user in the range 1 (default) to

255 using the $$ parameter in Configuration Mode. This address is used to recognise

Modbus Queries intended for this instrument. The instrument does not respond to Modbus

Queries that do not match the address that has been assigned to it.

The instrument will also accept global Queries using device address 0 no matter what device address is assigned. No responses are returned for globally addressed Queries.

Supported Modbus Functions

Modbus defines several function types; these instruments support the following types:

14 ASCII Communications

This is simple ASCII protocol provides backwards compatibility with some older products.

ASCII is not available in all models in the range. The Modbus protocol is recommended for future use.

Refer to the relevant Model Group Section for the ASCII and Modbus Application Layer

(parameter address/ident information).

Physical Layer

The Base address, bit rate and character format are configured via the front panel in

Configuration Mode or by using the PC Configurator software.

Physical layer configuration settings possible are:

Data rate:

Parity:

1200, 2400, 4800 (default), 9600 and 19,200 bps

Even

Character format: 7 bits per character. + 1 stop bit.

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.

Note:

Three character times = 1.5ms at 19200, 3ms at 9600, 6ms at 4800, 12ms at 2400 and

24ms at 1200 bps.

Device Addressing

The instrument is assigned a device address by the user using the $$ parameter in

Configuration Mode. The address may be set to any unique value from 1 (default) to 99. This address is used to recognise ASCII messages intended for this instrument. The instrument does not respond to messages that do not match the address that has been assigned to it.

Session Layer

The ASCII protocol assumes half duplex communications. The master device initiates all communication. The master sends a command or query to the addressed slave instrument and the slave replies with an acknowledgement of the command or the reply to the query.

Messages from the master device may be one of five types:

Type 1:

Type 2:

Type 3:

Type 4:

Type 5:

{S}{N}??*

{S}{N}{P}{C}* or R{N}{P}{C}*

{S}{N}{P}#{DATA}* or R{N}{P}#{DATA}*

{S}{N}{P}I* or R{N}{P}I*

{S} {N} \ P S S ? *

All characters are in ASCII code. See the following Parameter Key table for details of the parameters in brackets { }.

Type 2 Message

L {N} {P} {C} * or R {N} {P} {C} *

This type of message is used by the master device, to interrogate or modify a parameter in the addressed slave device. {P} identifies the parameter and {C} represents the command to be executed, which may be one of the following:

+ (Hex 2B) = Increment the value of the parameter defined by {P}

– (Hex 2D) = Decrement the value of the parameter defined by {P}

? (Hex 3F) = Determine the current value of the parameter defined by {P}

The reply from the addressed slave device is of the form:

L {N} {P} {DATA} A * or R {N} {P} {DATA} A *

where {DATA} comprises five ASCII-coded digits whose format is shown in the

Data Element table

above. The data is the value requested in a query message or the new value of the parameter after modification. If the action requested by the message from the master device would result in an invalid value for that parameter (either because the requested new value would be outside the permitted range for that parameter or because the parameter is not modifiable), the slave device replies with a negative acknowledgement:

L {N} {P} {DATA} N * or R {N} {P} {DATA} N *

The {DATA} string in the negative acknowledgement reply will be indeterminate. If the process variable or the deviation is interrogated whilst the process variable is outside the range of the slave device, the reply is:

L {N} {P} < ? ? > 0 A *

if the process variable is over-range, or

L {N} {P} < ? ? > 5 A *

if the process variable is under-range.

Type 3 Message

L {N} {P} # {DATA} * or R {N} {P} # {DATA} *

This message type is used by the master device to set a parameter to the value specified in

{DATA}. The command is not implemented immediately by the slave device; the slave will receive this command and will then wait for a Type 4 message (see below). Upon receipt of a

Type 3 message, if the {DATA} content and the specified parameter are valid, the slave device reply is of the form:

L {N} {P} {DATA} I * or R {N} {P} {DATA} I *

(where I = Hex 49) indicating that the slave device is ready to implement the command. If the parameter specified is invalid or is not modifiable or if the desired value is outside the permitted range for that parameter, the slave device replies with a negative acknowledgement in the form:

L {N} {P} {DATA} N * or R {N} {P} {DATA} N *

Type 4 Message

L {N} {P} I * or R {N} {P} I *

This type of message is sent by the master device to the addressed slave device, following a successful Type 3 transaction with the same slave device. Provided that the {DATA} content and the parameter specified in the preceding Type 3 message are still valid, the slave device will then set the parameter to the desired value and will reply in the form:

L {N} {P} {DATA} A *

where {DATA} is the new value of the parameter. If the new value or parameter specified is invalid, the slave device will reply with a negative acknowledgement in the form:

L {N} {P} {DATA} N *

where {DATA} is indeterminate. If the immediately preceding message received by the slave device was not a Type 3 message, the Type 4 message is ignored.

Error Response

The circumstances under which a message received from the master device is ignored are:

Negative acknowledgements will be returned if, in spite of the received message being notionally correct, the slave device cannot supply the requested information or perform the requested operation. The {DATA} element of a negative acknowledgement will be indeterminate.

Parity error detected

Syntax error detected

Timeout elapsed

Receipt of a Type 4 message without a preceding Type 3 command message.

CAUTION:

Calibration must be performed by personnel who are technically competent and authorised to do so.

Calibration is carried out during manufacture and is not normally required again during the lifetime of an instrument.

Equipment Required For Checking or Calibrating the Universal Input

A suitable calibration signal source is required for each input type. To verify the accuracy of the instrument or carry out recalibration, the listed input sources are required, with better than ±0.05% of the reading accuracy:

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 leads (or equivalent).

3. RTD inputs: decade resistance box with connections for three-wire input (or equivalent).

Calibration Check

1. Set the instrument to the required input type.

2. Power up the instrument and connect the correct input leads.

Leave powered up for at least five minutes for RTD and DC linear inputs, or at least 30 minutes for thermocouple inputs.

3. After the appropriate delay for stabilisation has elapsed, check the calibration by connecting the appropriate input source and checking a number of cardinal points.

4. Repeat the test for all required input types.

Active Setpoint

Type: Controller Definition

The Active Setpoint is the setpoint used as the current target Setpoint Value. Some controllers can have more than one setpoint (e.g. Setpoint 1 and 2 or Local and Remote

Setpoints), but only one of these is active at any time.

Also refer to Actual Setpoint, Remote Setpoint, Setpoint, Setpoint Select and Setpoint Select

Enable.

Actual Setpoint


Actual Setpoint is the current value of the setpoint. This may be different to the Active

Setpoint’s target value if the setpoint is currently ramping. The actual setpoint will rise or fall at the ramp-rate set, until it reaches the target setpoint value.

Also refer to Active Setpoint, Setpoint, Setpoint Ramp Enable and Setpoint Select.

Alarm Inhibit


Inhibits an alarm at power-up or when the controller Setpoint is switched, until that alarm goes inactive. The alarm operates normally from that point onwards.

Also refer to Alarm Operation.

Annunciator

Type: Limit Controller Definition

A special type of alarm output that is linked to a Limit Controllers main Limit Output. An

Annunciator output will activate when an Exceed condition occurs, and will remain active until a reset instruction is received, or the Exceed condition has passed. Unlike the Limit Output, an Annunciator can be reset even if the Exceed condition is present

Setpoint

Automatic Reset (Integral)

Type: Controller Tuning Parameter

Used to automatically bias the proportional output(s) to compensate for process load variations. It is adjustable in the range 1 seconds to 99 minutes 59 seconds per repeat and

OFF (value greater than 99 minutes 59 seconds - display shows ). Decreasing the time increases the Integral action. This parameter is not available if the primary output is set to

On-Off.

Auto Pre-Tune


Determines whether the Auto Pre-Tune feature is activated on power up ( $ * = disabled,

= enabled). Auto Pre-Tune is useful when the process to be controlled varies significantly each time it is run. Auto Pre-Tune ensures that tuning occurs at the start of the process. Self-Tune may also be engaged to fine tune the controller.

Display code = , default setting = $

Also refer to Pre-Tune, Self-Tune and Tuning.

Auxiliary Input


A secondary linear input option module. It can be used as a Remote Setpoint input or for

Valve Position Indication. Signals can be mA, mV, VDC or Potentiometer.

Also refer to Remote Setpoint, and Valve Position Indication.

Band Alarm 1 Value


This parameter is applicable only if Alarm 1 is selected to be a Band Alarm. It defines a band of process variable values, centred on the current actual setpoint value. If the process variable value is outside this band, the alarm will be active. This parameter may be adjusted from 1 to full span from the setpoint.

Display code = , default value = 5.

Bias (Manual Reset)


Used to manually bias the proportional output(s) to compensate for process load variations.

Bias is expressed as a percentage of output power and is adjustable in the range 0% to

100% (for Primary Output alone) or -100% to +100% (for both Primary and Secondary

Outputs). This parameter is not applicable if the Primary output is set to ON/OFF control mode. If the process settles below setpoint use a higher Bias value to remove the error, if the process variable settles above the setpoint use a lower Bias value. Lower Bias values will also help to reduce overshoot at process start up.

Display code = , default value = 25%.

Also refer to ON/OFF Control and PID.

Bumpless Transfer


A method used prevent sudden changes to the output power level when switching between

Automatic and Manual control modes. During a transition from Automatic to Manual, the initial Manual Power value will be set to equal the previous automatic mode value. The operator can then adjust the value as required. During a transition from Manual to Automatic, the initial Automatic Power value will be set to equal the previous manual mode value. The correct power level will gradually applied by the control algorithm at a rate dependant on the integral action resulting from the Automatic Reset time. Since integral action is essential to

Bumpless Transfer, this feature is not available if Automatic Reset is turned off.

Also refer to Automatic Rest and Manual Mode

Boundless VMD Control

- Refer to Open Loop VMD.

Type: VMD Controller Definition

Cascade Control


Applications with two or more capacities (such as heated jackets) are inherently difficult for a single instrument to control, due to large overshoots and unacceptable lags. The solution is to cascade two or more controllers, each with its own input, in series forming a single regulating device. The product setpoint temperature is set on the master controller. This is compared to the product temperature, and the master’s PID output (mA or VDC) is fed into a remote setpoint input on the slave. The RSP is scaled to suit any expected temperature. The slave loop’s natural response time should ideally be at least 5 times faster than the master.

In the example, the maximum input represents 400ºC, thus restricting the jacket temperature.

At start-up the master compares the product temperature (ambient) to its setpoint (300ºC) and gives maximum output. This sets the maximum (400ºC) setpoint on the slave, which is compared to the jacket temperature (ambient) giving maximum heater output.

As the jacket temperature rises, the slave’s heater output falls. The product temperature also rises at a rate dependant on the transfer lag between the jacket and product. This causes the master’s PID output to decrease, reducing the ‘jacket’ setpoint on the slave, effectively reducing the output to the heater. This continues until the system becomes balanced.

When tuning a cascade system, first set the master to manual mode. Tune the slave controller using proportional control only (I & D are not normally required) then return the master to automatic mode before tuning the master. The result is quicker, smoother control with minimum overshoot and the ability to cope with load changes, whilst keeping the jacket temperature within acceptable tolerances.

Display code = , default setting = r____ Ww

(read/write).

Control Type

Type: Controller Parameter

Defines if a controller has one or two control outputs. Single outputs can drive the PV in one direction only (e.g. heat only, cool only, increase humidity etc). Dual outputs can force the PV to increase or decrease (e.g heat & cool, humidify and dehumidify etc).

Dual control is not possible on Valve Motor Drive controllers

This stands for Central Processing Unit and refers to the onboard microprocessor that controls all of the measuring, alarm and control functions of the instrument.

Current Proportioning Control


Current proportioning control can be implemented on units configured with linear current or voltage output(s). It provides a 4 to 20mA, 0-20mA, 0 to 5V, 0 to 10V or 2 - 10V DC PID output. On-Off control should not be used with Current proportioning control.

Also refer to On-Off Control, PID, Primary Proportional Band, Rate, Secondary Proportional

Band and Time Proportional Control.

Cycle Time


For time proportioning outputs, it is used to define time period over which the average on vs. off time is equal to the required PID output level. , and are available when option slots 1, 2 or 3 are defined as time proportioning output types. The permitted range of value is 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 seconds. Shorter cycle times will give better control, but at the expense of reduce life when used with an electromechanical control device (e.g. relays or solenoid valves).

Deviation Alarm 1 Value Type


This is applicable only if Alarm 1 is selected to be Deviation Alarm. A positive value

(Deviation High) sets the alarm point above the current actual setpoint, a negative value

(Deviation Low) sets it below. If the process variable deviates from the setpoint by a margin greater than this value, alarm 1 becomes active.

Differential (On-Off Hysteresis)


A switching differential used when one or both control outputs have been set to On-Off. This parameter is adjustable within the range 0.1% to 10.0% of input span; the default value is

0.5%. The differential band is centred about the setpoint.

Relay chatter can be eliminated by proper adjustment of this parameter. Too large a value for this parameter will increase amplitude of oscillation in this process variable.

Display code = $ for primary only differential, $ for secondary only differential &

$ for primary and secondary differential.

Also refer to Input Span and On-Off Control.

Direct/Reverse Action of Control Outputs


Direct action is typically used with cooling applications; On-Off direct outputs will turn on when the process variable exceeds setpoint. Proportional direct outputs will increase the percentage of output as the process value increases within the proportional band. Reverse action is typically used with heating applications; On-Off reverse outputs will turn off when the process variable exceeds setpoint. Proportional reverse outputs will decrease the percentage of output as the process value increases within the proportional band. The

Secondary Output will be direct whenever the Primary Output is selected as reverse. The

Secondary Output will be reverse whenever the Primary Output is selected as direct.

Display Strategy


Alters the parameters displayed in normal operator mode. For example a controller could display PV + SP, PV + adjustable SP, PV + Ramping SP, PV only or SP only. Display strategy 6 will allow read only access to the setpoint values in Operator Mode, Setup Mode must then be entered to change the setpoint.

Elapsed Time is not affected by the Alarm 2 and Alarm 3 status.

Also refer to Alarm Operation, Exceed Time and Indicator.

Exceed Condition


A state that occurs when the Process Variable exceeds the Limit Setpoint value. E.g. if the

PV is above the Limit SP when set for high limit action, or below the Limit SP for low limit action. The Limit Controller will shut down the process when this condition occurs, and cannot be reset until the Exceed Condition has passed.

Indicator

Type: Indicator Definition

An instrument that can display a Process Variable. Alarm outputs are available that will activate at preset PV values. Relay outputs can be selected to have a Latching function similar to a Limit Controller output, but indicators do not have the necessary approvals for safety critical applications. Other options are PV retransmission and Serial Communications.

Latching Relay


A type of relay that, once it becomes active, requires a reset signal before it will deactivate.

This output is available on Limit controllers and indicator alarms. To successfully deactivate a latched relay, the alarm or limit condition that caused the relay to become active must first be removed, then a reset signal can be applied. This signal may be applied from the instrument keypad, Digital Input or command via Serial Communication.

Also refer to Alarm Operation, Indicator, Limit Controller, Limit Hysteresis, Serial

Communications.

LED


Light Emitting Diode. LED’s are used as indicator lights (e.g. for the alarm indication). The upper and lower 7-segment displays are also LED’s.

Limit Controller


A protective device that will shut down a process at a preset Exceed Condition, in order to prevent possible damage to equipment or products. A fail-safe latching relay is used, which cannot be reset by the operator until the process is back in a safe condition. This signal may be applied from the instrument keypad, Digital Input or command via Serial Communication.

Limit controllers work independently of the normal process controller. Limit Controllers have specific approvals for safety critical applications. They are recommended for any process that could potentially become hazardous under fault conditions.

Also refer to Annunciator, Controller, Exceed Condition, Exceed Time, Latching Relay, Limit

Hysteresis, Limit Setpoint and Serial Communications.

Limit Hysteresis


An adjustable band on the “safe” side of the Limit Setpoint. For a high limit, the hysteresis band is below the limit setpoint value, for a low limit, the hysteresis is above the limit setpoint value. The latching limit relay cannot be reset by the operator until the process has passed through this band

Also refer to Exceed Condition, Latching Relay, Limit Controller and Limit Setpoint.

Limit Setpoint


The preset value at which an Exceed Condition will occur. When a Limit Controller has been set for High Limit control action, the Exceed Condition is above the Limit Setpoint. When a

Limit Controller has been set for Low Limit control action, the Exceed Condition is below the

Limit Setpoint.

Loop Alarm Enable


Enables or disables a loop alarm. A loop alarm is a special alarm, which detects faults in the control feedback loop, by continuously monitoring process variable response to the control output(s). The loop alarm can be tied to any suitable output. When enabled, the loop alarm repeatedly checks if the control output(s) are at the maximum or minimum limit. If an output is at the limit, an internal timer is started: thereafter, if the high output has not caused the process variable to be corrected by a predetermined amount 'V' after time 'T' has elapsed, the loop alarm becomes active. Subsequently, the loop alarm mode repeatedly checks the process variable and the control output(s). When the process variable starts to change value in the correct sense or when the output is no longer at the limit, the loop alarm is deactivated.

For PID control, the loop alarm time 'T' is always twice the Automatic Reset parameter value.

For On-Off control, a user defined value for the Loop Alarm Time parameter is used.

The value of 'V' is dependent upon the input type. For Temperature inputs, V = 2°C or 3°F.

For Linear inputs, V = 10 least significant display units

Control output limits are 0% for Single output (Primary only) controllers and -100% for Dual output (Primary and Secondary) controllers.

Correct operation of the loop alarm depends upon reasonably accurate PID tuning. The loop alarm is automatically disabled during manual control mode and during execution of the Pre-

Tune mode. Upon exit from manual mode or after completion of the Pre-Tune routine, the loop alarm is automatically re-enabled.

Loop Alarm Time


When On-Off control is selected and loop alarm is enabled, this parameter determines the duration of the limit condition after which the loop alarm will be activated. It may be adjusted within the range of 1 second to 99 minutes 59 seconds. This parameter is omitted from the

Set-up mode display sequence if On-Off control is not selected or loop alarm is disabled.

Display code = , Default setting is 99:59.

mADC

Type: General Definition

This stands for milliamp DC. It is used in reference to the DC milliamp input ranges and the linear DC milliamp outputs. Typically, these will be 0 to 20mA or 4 to 20mA.

Manual Mode


If Manual Mode is enabled in Set-Up mode, pressing the AM key in operator mode will cause a controller to enter or leave manual control mode. Switching between automatic and manual modes is achieved using bumpless transfer.

For standard Process Controllers Manual Mode operates as follows:

The upper display shows the current process value, and the lower display shows the output power in the form - xxx (where xxx is equal to the percentage output power). This value may be adjusted using the UP or DOWN keys to increase/decrease the power output. The value can be varied between 0% to 100% for controllers using primary control only, and -

100% to +100% for controllers using primary and secondary control (e.g. full heat power to full cool power).

For VMD Controllers with the Valve Position Indication feature Manual Mode operates as follows:

The upper display shows the current process value, and the lower display shows the output valve position in the form - xxx (where xxx is equal to the amount the valve is opened, between 0% and 100%). This value may be adjusted using the UP or DOWN keys to open or close the as required. The Open Valve output will be energised as long as the UP key is pressed, and the Close Valve output will be energised as long as the DOWN key is pressed.

For standard VMD Controllers without the Valve Position Indication feature Manual Mode operates as follows:

The upper display shows the current process value, and the lower display shows

Mma

. The valve may be adjusted using the UP or DOWN keys to open or close the as required. The

Open Valve output will be energised as long as the UP key is pressed, and the Close Valve output will be energised as long as the DOWN key is pressed.

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. The operator

MUST maintain the process as the desired level manually. Manual power is not limited by the

Primary Power Output Limit.

Master & Slave


The terms master & slave are used to describe the controllers in applications where one instrument controls the setpoint of another. The master controller can transmit the setpoint to the slave using an analogue DC linear signal. The slave controller must have a matching a remote setpoint input. Some Profile Controllers can transmit their setpoint via serial communications serial communications. For this method, the Profiler must be able to act as a communications master device and the slave must have a compatible communications option fitted.

Minimum Motor On Time

Type: VMD Controller Parameter

This defines the minimum drive effort needed to initiate valve movement, if the valve was previously stationary. This parameter is used primarily to ensure that valve frictional and inertial effects do not cause controller drive to be ignored by the valve.

If Self-Tune is , this parameter can be used to influence valve activity. Larger values reduce valve activity but increase the risk of the process oscillating. Self-Tune monitors oncontrol valve activity and will minimise it automatically.

Too large a value of Minimum Motor On Time can impair the effectiveness of the Self-Tune facility; if process variable oscillations persist whilst Self-Tune is running, it may be for this reason

Display code = , default setting = 1 1

Also refer to Motor Travel Time, Self-Tune and Valve Motor Drive Control.

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. A Valve Motor Drive (VMD) Controller is used to move the valve to the desired position in order to control the gas valve. Some modulating valve motors require linear (mA or VDC) signals to position the valve. These require standard Process Controllers

(using PI control) instead of VMD types.

The Motor Travel Time parameter is the time the valve takes to travel from one physical end stop to the other. This parameter is used by the Valve Motor Drive control algorithm when calculating how long to energise the “Valve Open” or “Valve Close” outputs to bring the process on to control.

It is important that this time accurately reflects the time taken to travel between the physical limits otherwise control will be impaired. The motor travel time should be stated in the valve specification or can obtained from the supplier or manufacturer. Failing that, the valve should 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.

Display code = , default setting = . .

Also refer to Manual Mode Enable, Minimum Motor On Time and Valve Motor Drive Control.

Multi-Point Scaling Enable

Type: Indicator Parameter

When an Indicators Multi-Point Scaling function is enabled by setting

Mm

to in

Configuration Mode, up to 9 breakpoints can be defined to linearize the input signal. This only applies to mA, mV or Voltage input types. For each breakpoint, an input scale value is entered, followed by the value to be shown at the breakpoint.

Display code =

Mm

,

default setting = $ 1

Also refer to Indicator, Multipoint Scaling Set Up and Process Variable.

Multi-Point Scaling Set Up


For each breakpoint, the input scale value ( n) is entered as a percentage of the input span, followed by the value to be shown (

$

n) in display units, for this input value.

Each breakpoint’s input scale value must be higher than the previous value, but the display values can be either higher or lower. This procedure is repeated for up to nine breakpoints, but if any scale value is set to 100% if automatically becomes the last in the series.

Offset


Offset is used to modify the measured process variable value and is adjustable in the range

±input span. Use this parameter to compensate for errors in the displayed process variable.

Positive values are added to the process variable reading, negative values are subtracted.

This parameter is in effect, a calibration adjustment; it MUST be used with care. Injudicious use could lead to the displayed value bearing no meaningful relationship to the actual process variable. There is no front panel indication of when this parameter is in use.

Display value = , default value = 0.

Also refer to Input Span, Process Variable and Tare.

On-Off Control


When operating in On-Off control, the output(s) will turn on or off as the process variable crosses the setpoint in a manner similar to a central heating thermostat. Some oscillation of the process variable is inevitable when using On-Off control.

On-Off control can be implemented only with Time Proportioning Control (Relay, Triac or

SSR driver output), by setting the corresponding proportional band(s) to zero. On-Off operation can be assigned to the Primary output alone (secondary output not present),

Primary and Secondary outputs or Secondary output only (with the primary Output set for time proportional or current proportional control).

On-Off control cannot be used on Valve Motor Drive controllers.

Also refer to Differential, PID, Process Variable, Primary Proportional Band, Secondary

Proportional Band, Setpoint, Time Proportioning Control and Valve Motor Drive Control.

On-Off Differential (Hysteresis)

Refer to Differential.


Open Loop VMD


An “Open Loop” PID control algorithm does not require a position feedback signal from the valve in order to correctly control the process. Instead, the Process Variable’s deviation from the Setpoint is used to decide how long the valve open or close outputs should be energised

(in relation to the Motor Travel Time) in order to bring the process under control.

Even when position feedback is provided for Valve Position Indication, the controller does not use this signal when positioning the valve, so problems associated with faulty feedback signals are avoided.

Also refer to Modulating Valve, Motor Travel Time, PID, Process Variable, Setpoint, Valve

Position Indication and Valve Motor Drive Control.

Overlap/Deadband


Defines the portion of the primary and secondary proportional bands ( """" + """" ) over which both outputs are active (Overlap), or neither is active (Deadband). It is adjustable in the range -20% to +20% of the two proportional bands added together. Positive values =

Overlap, negative values = Deadband.

This parameter 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 Differential band of the Secondary Output to create the overlap or deadband.

When Overlap/Deadband = 0, the “OFF” edge of the Secondary Output Differential band coincides with the point at which the Primary Output = 0%. ).

Display code = , default value = 0%.

PI Control


Proportional and Integral (PI) Control is used to control Modulating Valves. It is similar to PID

Control, but without Derivative (Rate) action that causes excessive valve movement.

Also refer to Modulating Valve, PID Control, Rate, Tuning and Valve Motor Drive Control.

PID Control


Proportional Integral and Derivative control maintains accurate and stable levels in a process

(e.g. temperature control). It avoids the oscillation characteristic of On-Off control by continuously adjusting the output to keep the process variable stable at the desired setpoint.

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.

Also refer to PID.

Pre-Tune


The Pre-Tune facility artificially disturbs the start-up pattern so that a first 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 has moved approximately halfway to the setpoint. At that point, power is removed (or outputs full Secondary Power for

Dual Control), thereby introducing an oscillation. Once the oscillation peak has passed, the

Pre-Tune algorithm calculates an approximation of the optimum PID tuning terms proportional band(s), automatic reset and rate. The process is shown in the diagram below.

When Pre-Tune is completed, the PID control output power is applied using the calculated values. Pre-Tune limits the possibility of setpoint overshoot when the controller is new or the application has been changed. As a single-shot operation, it will automatically disengage once complete, but can be configured to run at every power up using the Auto Pre-Tune function.

The Pre-Tune feature on Valve Motor Drive controllers always sets the Rate parameter to zero (OFF) because derivative action is not usually desirable in these applications.

Pre-Tune will not engage if either primary or secondary outputs on a controller are set for

On-Off control, during setpoint ramping or if the process variable is less than 5% of the input span from the setpoint. Pre-Tune Operation

Process Variable (PV)


Process Variable is the variable to be measured by the primary input of the instrument. The

PV can be any parameter that can be converted into a electronic signal suitable for the input.

Common types are Thermocouple or PT100 temperature probes, or pressure, level, flow etc from transducers which convert these parameters into linear DC signals (e.g. 4 to 20mA).

Linear signals can be scaled into engineering units using the Scale Range Lower Limit and

Scale Range Upper Limit parameters.

Also refer to Input Span, Offset, Scale Range Lower Limit and Scale Range Upper Limit.

Process Variable Offset

- Refer to Offset.


Rate (Derivative)


Rate is adjustable in the range 0 seconds (OFF) to 99 minutes 59 seconds. It defines how the control action responds to the rate of change in the process variable. This parameter should not be used in modulating value applications as it can cause premature wear due to constant small adjustments to the valve position. The Rate parameter is not available if primary control output is set to On-Off.

The Rate parameter is normally set to 0 seconds (OFF) on Valve Motor Drive controllers because derivative action is not usually desirable in these applications.

Self-Tune

Type: Controller Tuning Definition

Self-Tune continuously optimises tuning while a controller is operating. It uses a pattern recognition algorithm, which monitors the process error (deviation). The diagram shows a typical application involving a process start up, setpoint change and load disturbance.

Time

Figure 44. Self-Tune Operation

The deviation signal is shown shaded and overshoots have been exaggerated for clarity.

The Self-Tune algorithm observes one complete deviation oscillation before calculating a set of PID values. Successive deviation oscillation causes values to be recalculated so that the controller rapidly converges on optimal control. When the controller is switched off, the final

PID terms remain stored in the controller's non-volatile memory, and are used as starting values at the next switch on. The stored values may not always be valid, if for instance the controller is brand new or the application has been changed. In these cases the user can utilise Pre-Tune to establish new initial values.

Use of continuous self-tuning is not always appropriate for applications which are frequently subjected to artificial load disturbances, for example where an oven door is likely to be frequently left open for extended periods of time.

The Self-Tune feature on Valve Motor Drive controllers always sets the Rate parameter to zero (OFF) because derivative action is not usually desirable in these applications.

Self-Tune cannot be engaged if a controller is set for On-Off Control.

The actual setpoint will rise/fall at the ramp rate set, until it reaches the target setpoint value. Setpoint ramping is used to protect the process from sudden changes in the setpoint, which would result in a rapid rise in the process variable.

Solid State Relay (SSR)


An external device manufactured using two Silicone Controlled Rectifiers, which can be used to replace mechanical relays in most AC power applications. 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 instrument’s SSR

Driver output is a time proportioned 10VDC pulse, which causes conduction of current to the load when the pulse is on.

Solenoid Valve


An electromechanical device to control gas or liquid flow. It has just two states, open or closed. A spring holds the valve closed until a current is passed through the solenoid coil forces it open. Standard Process Controllers with Time Proportioned outputs are used to control solenoid valves.

Solenoid valves are often used with high/low flame gas burners. A bypass supplies some gas at all times, but not enough to heat the process more than a nominal amount (low flame). A controller output opens the solenoid valve when the process requires additional heat (high flame)..

Tare


When an Indicator’s Tare function has been enabled, the operator can set the current

Process Variable input value to be displayed as zero. This function may be used to easily eliminate any offset on the input signal, e.g. when a transducer output is not giving a true zero value. It may also be used in applications displaying the weight of a product, to remove the weight of a container before starting. When Tare is activated, the instrument automatically sets the PV Offset to an equal, but opposite value to the current measured value.

Display code = , default setting = $ (disabled).

Also refer to Indicator, Process Variable, and Offset.

Three Point Stepping Control

Refer to Valve Motor Control.


Time Proportioning Control


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. The control algorithm determines the ratio of time (on vs. off) to achieve the level of output power required to correct any error between the process value and setpoint. 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

Time proportioning control can be implemented with Relay, Triac or SSR Driver outputs for either primary (Heat) or secondary (Cool) outputs depending on hardware configuration.

Also refer to Current Proportioning Control, Cycle Time, PID, Primary Proportional Band,

Process Variable, Secondary Proportional Band, Setpoint, SSR and Triac.

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 by utilising the controller’s automatic tuning facilities. Tuning is not required if the controller is configured for On-Off

Control.

Also refer to Automatic Reset, Auto Pre-Tune, On-Off control, PID, Pre-Tune, Primary

Proportional Band, Rate, Self-Tune and Secondary Proportional Band.

Triac


A small internal solid state device, which can be used in place of a mechanical relay in applications switching low power AC, up to 1 amp. Like a relay, the output is time proportioned, but much faster switching cycle times are also possible, leading to superior control. As a solid-state device, a Triac does not suffer from contact degradation when switching electrical currents. A triac cannot be used to switch DC power.

Valve Close Limit


When Valve Position Indication is to be used on Valve Motor Controllers, this parameter provides a “clamp” on the upper valve position, which the controller will not attempt to drive the valve past. It can be set between (fully closed) and the Valve Open Limit value –1, expressed as a percentage of the valve’s “fully open” position.

The Auxiliary Input must correctly scaled using the Set Valve Open and Closed parameters before using this parameter.

Display code = , default setting = .

Also refer to Auxiliary Input, Set Valve Closed Position, Set Valve Open Position, Valve Open

Limit, Valve Motor Control and Valve Position Indication.

Valve Motor Drive Control


Valve Motor Drive Controllers are designed to control Modulating Valves using a special

“Open Loop” Valve Motor Drive (VMD) PI control algorithm. Output signals are provided to move the valve further open, or further closed when the process is higher or lower than the desired setpoint. When on setpoint, no output is required to maintain control unless load conditions change. This known as Three-Point Stepping control.

Valve Position or Flow Indication is possible if an Auxiliary Input option module has been fitted and configured for this purpose.

Also refer to Auxiliary Input, Modulating Valve, Open Loop VMD, PI Control, PID, Setpoint and Valve Position Indication.

Valve Position or Flow Indication


The Valve Motor Drive Controllers do not require any kind of position feedback in order for the PID algorithm to correctly control the process. However, where feedback or flow level signals are available, they can be displayed as a percentage ( to ) of the possible valve opening or flow level. Valve Position Indication is shown in the Operator Mode lower display in place of the Setpoint when the Display Strategy is set to 3 .

Valve Position Feedback is usually provided by means of a potentiometer linked to the valve.

Potentiometers can be directly connected to the Full Auxiliary Input (Option Slot B only).

Flow meters typically have linear 0-20/4-20mA or 0-5/0-10V signals, which can be used with

/ either the Full Auxiliary Input or the Basic Auxiliary Input (Option Slot A only) of the

1

16

Din

VMD Controllers.

Even when position feedback is provided in this way, the information is not used by the Open

Loop VMD control algorithm when positioning the valve, avoiding problems associated with faulty feedback signals.

Also refer to Auxiliary Input, Display Strategy, Open Loop VMD, PID, Set Valve Closed

Position, Set Valve Open Position, Setpoint, and Valve Motor Control.

Valve Open Limit


When Valve Position Indication is to be used on Valve Motor Controllers, this parameter provides a “clamp” on the upper valve position, which the controller will not attempt to drive the valve past. It can be set between (fully open) and the Valve Closed Limit value +1, expressed as a percentage of the valve’s “fully open” position.

The Auxiliary Input must correctly scaled using the Set Valve Open and Closed parameters before using this parameter.

Display code = , default setting = .

Also refer to Auxiliary Input, Set Valve Closed Position, Set Valve Open Position, Valve

Close Limit, Valve Motor Control and Valve Position Indication.
