  • Page 2 FC5A series MicroSmart PID modules. • All MicroSmart modules are manufactured under IDEC’s rigorous quality control system, but users must add a backup or failsafe provision to the control system using the MicroSmart in applications where heavy damage or personal injury may be caused in case the MicroSmart should fail.
  • Page 3 • If relays or transistors in the MicroSmart output modules should fail, outputs may remain on or off. For output signals which may cause serious accidents, provide a monitor circuit outside the MicroSmart . • Do not connect the ground wire directly to the MicroSmart . Connect a protective ground to the cabinet containing the MicroSmart using an M4 or larger screw.

    NSTALLATION AND IRING Power Supply for PID Modules When supplying power to the PID modules, take the following into consideration. Using the same power supply for the MicroSmart CPU and the PID module is recommended to suppress the influence of noise. If the same power source is used for the PID module and MicroSmart CPU module, after the MicroSmart CPU is started to run, the PID module performs initialization for a maximum of 5 seconds.

  • Page 24: Chapter 4: Pid Module Main Functions

    PID M ODULE UNCTIONS 4: PID M ODULE UNCTIONS This chapter describes the temperature control, fixed value control, auto-tuning (AT), program control, heating/cooling control, difference input control, and cascade control of the PID module. Temperature Control Using the PID Module Temperature Control Configuration Example Using the PID Module B.
  • Page 25 PID M ODULE UNCTIONS In reality, the ideal temperature control shown in Figure 1 on the previous page is almost impossible to achieve due to a number of complicated factors such as thermal capacity, static characteristics, dynamic characteristics and disturbances. Figure 2 is regarded as an optimal temperature control result.

  • Page 26: Fixed Value Control

    PID M ODULE UNCTIONS Fixed Value Control The PID module provides 2 control modes, one is the fixed value control and the other is the program control. The fixed value control is a standard temperature control which performs to eliminate the deviation between the single set point (SP) and process variable (PV).
  • Page 27 PID M ODULE UNCTIONS • If the proportional band is narrowed (Proportional gain is made larger) Because the control output starts turning on/off at around the set point (SP), the time until the process variable (PV) reaches the set point (SP) is shortened, and the offset is small; however, hunting is frequent.
  • Page 28 PID M ODULE UNCTIONS PD Control Action (Proportional + Derivative Action) Compared with P action, the response to rapid temperature change due to disturbance is faster, the temperature control can be stabilized in a shorter time, and transitional response characteristic can be improved in PD control action.

  • Page 29: Auto-Tuning (At)/Auto-Reset

    PID M ODULE UNCTIONS Auto-Tuning (AT)/Auto-Reset The optimal temperature control parameters differ depending on the characteristics of the process to control. For PID control action, the proportional band, integral time, derivative time, and ARW are automatically configured by performing auto-tuning (AT). For P control or PD control action, the reset value is automatically configured by performing auto-reset.
  • Page 30 PID M ODULE UNCTIONS [Process variable (PV) ≥ Set point (SP) + AT bias value] When AT bias is set to 20°C, the PID module starts giving the temperature fluctuation to the process at the temperature 20°C higher from the set point (SP). (1) Fluctuation period.
  • Page 31 PID M ODULE UNCTIONS Cancel Auto-tuning (AT) To cancel auto-tuning (AT) while it is performed, turn off Auto-tuning (AT)/Auto-reset bit (Bit1) of the operation parameter. When the operation parameter Bit1 is turned off, auto-tuning (AT) is canceled, and the Auto-tuning (AT)/Auto-reset LED (AT0/AT1) will go off. When auto-tuning (AT) is cancelled, P, I, D and ARW values are reverted to the original values at the time that auto-tuning (AT) was started.

  • Page 32: Program Control

    PID M ODULE UNCTIONS Program Control The program control allows you to define the set point (SP) that changes as the time progresses so that the process variable (PV) can be controlled to match the set point (SP) changing as the time progresses. The set point (SP) and time can be configured for each step.
  • Page 33 PID M ODULE UNCTIONS Program Control Operation Bits and Status Monitoring By turning on/off the operation parameter bit, program control progression can be operated. By monitoring program run status, the current status of program control can be monitored. For the allocation of operation parameter, program run status, operating status, see pages 5-7 to 5-10. Program Control Start (Start the program control) Turn on the program control bit (Bit3) of the operation parameter.
  • Page 34 PID M ODULE UNCTIONS Action when Program Control Starts The program control mode start type can be selected from 3 types: PV start, PVR start, and SP start. When SP start is selected, the program control starts from the set point (SP) configured with “Set point (SP) when program control starts.”...
  • Page 35 PID M ODULE UNCTIONS Action after Power Is Restored When the power is restored, every bit of the operation parameter excluding the program hold bit stored in the data register is maintained. If the power is failed and restored while the PID module performs the program control, the PID module starts its operation in accordance with the original PID module status before the power failure as shown in the table below.
  • Page 36 PID M ODULE UNCTIONS Program Pattern Example The set point (SP) configured for each step is handled as the set point (SP) at the end of the step. The time configured for each step is the process time of each step. Program Pattern Step No.

  • Page 37: Heating/Cooling Control

    PID M ODULE UNCTIONS Heating/Cooling Control When it is difficult to control the target process with heating control only, cooling control can be added to perform the heating/cooling control. Control results derived from the set point (SP) and process variable (PV) are outputted to 2 outputs, heating output (CH0) and cooling output (CH1).

Auto-tuning (AT) for the slave (CH0) 1. Turn off the CH0 and CH1 control enable bits of the operation parameter to disable the CH0 and CH1 controls.

When the program control mode is selected as the control mode, parameters for the fixed value control mode, such as the set point (SP), proportional band/proportional gain, or integral time, are disabled.
  • Page 100 PID M ONFIGURING ODULE USING The fixed value control is a normal temperature control that the PID module controls the output to eliminate the deviation between a single set point (SP) and the process variable (PV). The following diagram shows an example of the fixed value control.
  • Page 101 PID M ONFIGURING ODULE USING (3) Control Register+54: Heating/Cooling Control The heating/cooling control can be enabled. When it is difficult to control a target process with heating control only, cooling control can be added to perform the heating/cooling control. Example: Heating/Cooling control uses both heating and cooling outputs and is suitable for the heat producing processes such as extruders or for temperature control at near the ambient temperature, such as environment testers.
  • Page 102 PID M ONFIGURING ODULE USING (8) Control Register+28: Derivative Time When the set point (SP) is changed or when the deviation between the set point (SP) and the process variable (PV) is increased due to a disturbance, the derivative action increases the output manipulated variable (MV) to rapidly correct the deviation between the process variable (PV) and the set point (SP).

  • Page 105 PID M ONFIGURING ODULE USING (20) Control Register+48: Cooling Proportional Band The cooling proportional band can be configured when the heating/cooling control is enabled.
