The 545 is the most accurate instrument in its class. With a sampling rate of eight times per second, it is ideal for demanding pressure and flow applica- tions.
For important hardware installation guidelines, see Chapters 3 and 4. • For a detailed description of all the software menus and parameters of the 545, follow through Chapter 5 and 6. Appendix 1 can be used as a guide to these parameters. TEXT FORMATTING IN THIS MANUAL...

Alarms may be used in systems to provide warnings of unsafe conditions. All tied to an output relay in the SET UP 545 operators must know how the alarms are configured, the consequences of mode. See Chapter 5 and Chapter 7 for acknowledging an alarm, and how to react to alarm conditions.

HARDWARE INPUT TYPES The Process Variable The 545 accepts several different types of process variable signals. Set a jumper location to specify the type of input signal. Set the signal range in the software (see Chapter 5 for software menus, or Chapter 7 for applications).
If it is difficult to slide the chassis in all the way, make sure the screws have been removed (they can block proper alignment), and that the chassis is properly oriented. 8. Carefully insert and align screws. Tighten them until the bezel is seated firmly against the gasket. Do not overtighten. 545 User's Manual Chapter 4...
Hardware Configuration ADDING AND CHANGING OUTPUT MODULES The 545 has provisions for four output modules. A controller ordered with output module options already has the modules properly installed. Follow these instruc- tions to add modules, change module type(s) or change module location(s).
Failure to use the tie wraps may result in loosening of the module and even- tual failure. All separately ordered modules should come with a tie wrap. Extra sets of tie wraps are available by ordering Part #545-665. NOTE: For greatest accuracy, calibrate all milliamp modules added for retransmission as per the instructions in Appendix 2.
Hardware Configuration SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS MODULE A special communications module is available for the 545; see order code in Chapter 1 for details. Equipment needed: Wrist grounding strap Phillips screwdriver (#2) Small flat blade screwdriver 1. Before installing the communications module, set up the hardware wiring for the application.
MENUS CAUTION! All software changes occur in real time; In SETUP mode, there are 12 sets of options that control different aspects of 545 always perform set up functions under manual operation. operation; in TUNING mode, there is one. Each set of options is called a menu.
This manual displays these two types of param- eters differently; refer to Figure 5.2. A special feature of the 545, called Smart Menus, determines the correct parameters to display for the specific configu- ration, so not all the listed parameters will appear.
For information about all the software menus and parameters, continue reading this chapter. Refer to Appendix 1 for a quick-reference flowchart of all menus and parameters. • For information about the installed options on the 545, compare the product label on top of the controller to the order code in Chapter 1. •...

For derivative action based on PV changes, choose PV. B. ALARMS Each loop of the 545 controller has two extremely flexible and powerful software alarms (4 alarms total). The number of available outputs limits how alarms are linked to relays. A Global Alarm feature allows all alarms to be assigned to the same relay.

MANUAL Alarm occurs when the controller is put into manual mode of opera- tion. This may be useful for security purposes or to alert the operator that 545 is no longer under automatic control. • RATE Alarm occurs when the process variable changes at a rate greater than what is specified by the alarm setpoint and time base.

J. MULTIPLE SETPOINTS The 545 can store up to eight local setpoints and use a remote setpoint. One application of this feature is configuring the controller to restrict operators to discrete setpoint choices. The 545 can also store multiple sets of PID parameters (see next section).
K. MULTIPLE SETS OF PID VALUES The 545 has the ability to store up to eight sets of PID values. This can be a valuable feature for operating the controller under conditions which require different tuning parameters for optimal control. There are various methods of selecting which set should be active.
D 7200 seconds M. SELF TUNE—POWERTUNE ® The Self Tune function of the 545 consists of two distinct components, Pretune and Adaptive Tune. These components may be used independently or in conjunction with one another. For best results, we recommend using them together.

In order to make accurate calculations, Adaptive Tune needs noise band and Otherwise, the 545 will attempt to response time values. Pretune TYPE 2 and TYPE 3 automatically calculate these adapt the Tuning parameters to the values.

If the noise band is set too large, the process variable will remain within the noise band, and the controller will not retune itself.

The ramp-to-setpoint function is triggered by one of three conditions: 1. Upon power up, if the 545 powers up in automatic control, then the setpoint will ramp from the process variable value to the setpoint value at the specified rate.
O. INPUT LINEARIZATION Thermocouple and RTD Linearization For a thermocouple or RTD input, the incoming signal is automatically linearized. The 545 has lookup tables that it uses to provide an accurate reading of the temperature being sensed. Square Root Linearization Many flow transmitters generate a nonlinear signal corresponding to the flow being measured.
Load line is adjusted by observing the percent output required to control the process and then adjusting the load line to that value. This minimizes the effect of momentary power outages and transients. Load line may also be Chapter 7 545 User's Manual...

Software Configuration 1. Access the SER. COMM. menu. 2. STATION specifies the unit’s station address. It is the only way one 545 can be distinguished from another. Each 545 on the same RS-485 interface must have a unique station address.
(see Figure 7.19). When the 545 is configured for Cascade, Loop 1 is automatically the primary or outer feedback Loop and Loop 2 is the secondary or inner feedback loop. Loop 1 will not have a physical output, but rather the PID algorithm output is internally fed to Loop 2 as its Setpoint.
Remember that the setpoint span of Loop 2 is driven by the PID output of Loop 1 (the outside loop). Therefore you set SP LO LIM at 200 and SP HI LIM at 800. With these parameters, whenever Loop 1 output is 0%, the Loop 2 SP is 200. 545 User's Manual Chapter 7...
