Chapter 2 Dangerous voltages capable of causing death are sometimes present in this instrument. Before installation or beginning any troubleshooting procedures the power to all equipment must be switched off and isolated. Units suspected of being faulty must be disconnected and removed to a safe location.
2-3 Wiring Precautions Before wiring, verify the label for correct model number and options. Switch off the power while checking. Care must be taken to ensure that maximum voltage rating specified on the label is not exceeded. It is recommended that power of these units to be protected by fuses or circuit breakers rated at the minimum value possible.
2-5 Sensor Installation Guidelines Proper sensor installation can eliminate many problems in a control system. The probe should be placed so that it can detect any temperature change with minimal thermal lag. In a process that requires fairly constant heat output, the probe should be placed close to the heater.
2-7 RTD Input Wiring RTD connections are shown in Figure 2.6, with the compensating lead connected to terminal 9. For two-wire RTD inputs, terminals 9 and 10 should be linked. The three-wire RTD offers the capability of lead resistance compensa- tion provided that the third wire is installed into PIN 9 as shown in Figure 2.6.

RS-232 port CC94-1 NOTE: If the ETR-3400 is configured for RS-232 communication, the input 2 and EI (Event Input) ar disconnected internally. The unit can no longer perform event input function (EIFN) and input 2 function. When you insert a RS-232 module (CM94-2) to the connectors on CPU board (C250), the jumper J51 and J5 must be modified as following: J52 must be shorted and J51 must be cut and left open.

Chapter 3 Programming the Basic Function This unit provides a useful function parameter “FUNC”, this is used to select the Function Complexity Level before setup. If the Basic Mode (FUNC = BASC) is selected for a simple application, then the following functions are ig- nored and deleted from the full function menu: RAMP, SP2, PB2, TI2, TD2, PL1, PL2, COMM, PROT, ADDR, BAUD, DATA, PARI, STOP, AOFN, AOLO, AOHI, IN2, IN2U, DP2, IN2L, IN2H, EIFN, PVMD, FILT, SLEP, SPMD and SP2F.

3-3 Rearrange User Menu The ETR-3400 has the flexibility to provide selection of User Parameters which are most significant to your pro- cess. These parameters are placed in front of the display sequence.
3-4 Display SV Instead of PV In certain applications where set point value (SV) is more important than process value (PV) for the user, the pa- rameter disf (display format) then can be used to achieve this purpose. Press keys to enter setup menu set, then press several times until disf appears on the display.
. See section 3-21 for manual tuning. ETR-3400 contains Manual Tuning: May be used if self- a very clever PID and Fuzzy algorithm to acheive a very small over- tuning and auto-tuning are inadequate.
3-7 Heat Cool Control The Heat-Cool Control can use one of 6 combinations of control modes. Setup of parameters for each control mode are shown in the following table. Table 3.1 Heat-Cool Control Setup Setup Values Heat Cool Control Modes Uses Uses OUT1 OUT2 O1HY OFST PB1 TI1 TD1 CPB...
CPB Programming: The cooling proportional band is measured by % of PB with range 1~255. Initially set 100% for CPB and examine the cooling effect. If cooling action should be enhanced then decrease CPB, if cooling action is too strong then increase CPB. The value of CPB is related to PB and its value remains unchanged throughout the self-tuning and auto-tuning procedures.
3-9 Process Alarms There are at most two independent alarms available by adjusting OUT2. If AL2 is selected for OUT2, then OUT2 will perform alarm 2 function. Now A2FN can’t be selected with NONE, otherwise Er06 will be displayed. A process alarm sets an absolute trigger level (or temperature).

3-10 Deviation Alarm OUT2 can be configured as alarm 2 by selecting=AL2. If OUT2 selects=AL2, then output 2 will perform alarm 2 function. Now A2FN can’t be selected with NONE, otherwise Er06 will appear. A deviation alarm alerts the user when the process deviates too far from set point. The user can enter a positive or negative deviation value (A1DV, A2DV) for alarm 1 and alarm 2.
3-11 Deviation Band Alarm A deviation band alarm presets two reference levels relative to set point. Two types of deviation band alarm can be configured for alarm 1 and alarm 2. These are deviation band high alarm (A1FN or A2FN select DB.HI) and devia- tion band low alarm (A1FN or A2FN select DB.LO).
3-12 Heater Break Alarm A current transformer (part No. CT94-1) should be installed to detect the heater current if a heater break alarm is required. The CT signal is sent to input 2, and the PV2 will indicate the heater current in 0.1 Amp. resolution. The range of the current transformer is 0 to 50.0 Amp.
3-13 Loop Break Alarm A1FN selects LB if alarm 1 is required to act as a loop break alarm. Similarly, if alarm 2 is required to act as a loop break alarm, then set OUT2 withAL2 and A2FN with LB. TIME, A1SP, A1DV and A1HY are hidden if alarm 1 is configured as a loop break alarm.
3-14 Sensor Break Alarm Alarm 1 or alarm 2 can be configured as sensor break alarm by selecting SENB for A1FN or A2FN. If alarm 2 is required for sensor break alarm, then OUT2 should be selected with = AL2. The sensor break alarm is activated as soon as failure mode occurs.
3-16 PV Shift In certain applications it is desirable to shift the controller display value from its actual value. This can be easily accomplished by using the PV1 shift. Press the “scroll” key until the control reaches the parameter SHIF. The value you adjust here, either positive or negative, will be added to the actual value.
3-17 Failure Transfer The controller will enter failure mode as one of the following conditions occurs: 1. SB1E occurs (due to the input 1 sensor break or input 1 current below 1mA if 4-20 mA is selected or input 1 voltage below 0.25V if 1-5 V is selected) if PV1, P1-2 or P2-1 is selected for PVMD or PV1 is selected for SPMD.
3-18 Bumpless Transfer The bumpless transfer function is available for output 1 and output 2 (provided that OUT2 is configured as COOL). Bumpless Transfer is enabled by selecting BPLS for O1FT and/or O2FT and activated as one of the following cases occurs: 1.
3-19 Self Tuning The Self-tuning which is designed by using an innovative algorithm provides an Self-tune Menu alternative option for tuning the controller. It is activated as soon as SELF is selected with YES. When Self-tuning is working, the controller will change its working PID values and compares the process behavior with previous cycle.
3-20 Auto Tuning The auto-tuning process is performed at set point. The process will oscillate around the set point during tuning process. Set a set point to a lower value if overshooting beyond the normal setpoint is undesired. The auto-tuning is applied in cases of : •...

3-21 Manual Tuning In certain applications (very few) using both self-tuning and auto-tuning to tune a process may be inadequate for the control requirement, then you can try manual tuning. Connect the controller to the process and perform the procedures according to Figure 3.23. Figure 3.23 Manual Tuning Procedure Use initial PID values to control the process...

3-22 Signal Conditioner DC Power Supply Three types of isolated DC power supply are available to supply an external transmitter or sensor. These are 20V rated at 25mA, 12V rated at 40 mA and 5V rated at 80 mA. The DC power supply applications are shown in Figure 3.26.
3-23 Manual Control The manual control may be used for the following purposes: 1. To test the process characteristics in obtaining a step response as well as an impulse response for data needed in tuning a controller. 2. To use manual control instead of a close loop control as the sensor fails or the controller’s A-D converter fails. NOTE that a bumpless transfer can not be used for a long time.

This value is used to control the output 1 and output 2. shows the process value of input 1 on the upper display. shows the process value of input 2 on the upper display. shows the current proportional band value used for control.
Because of limitation on terminals, pin 11 is used for both Event input and RS-232. If you want to change function of ETR-3400 from RS-232 to event input, you must modify jumper J51 and J52 on CPU board by opening jumper...
4-3 Second PID Set In certain applications the process characteristics are strongly related to the process value. The ETR-3400 pro- vides two sets of PID values. When the process is changed to different set point, the PID values can be switched to match the new values.
4-4 Ramp & Dwell Ramp The ramping function is performed during power up as well as any time the set point is changed. Choose MINR or HRR for SPMD, the unit will perform the ramping function. The ramp rate is programmed by using RAMP which is shown as degrees per minute.
4-5 Remote Set Point SPMD selecting PV1 or PV2 will enable the ETR-3400 to accept a remote set point signal. If PV1 is selected for SPMD, the remote set point signal is sent to Input 1, and Input 2 is used for process signal input. If PV2 is selected for SPMD, the remote set point signal is sent to Input 2, and Input 1 is used for process signal.
4-6 Differential Control In certain applications it is desirable to control a second process such that its process value always deviates from the first process with a constant value. To set up differential control, see below. Setup: PVMD = P1-2 or PVMD = P2-1, SPMD=SP1.2 FUNC=FULL IN1,IN1L,IN1H are set according to input 1 signal IN2,IN2L,IN2H are set according to input 2 signal...
4-7 Output Power Limits In certain systems the heater (or cooler) is over-designed such that the process is too heavily heated or cooled. To avoid an excessive overshoot and/or undershoot you can use the Power Limit function. Output 1 power limit PL1 is contained in User Menu. If output 2 is not used for cooling (that is COOL is not selected for OUT2), then PL2 is hidden.
RS-232 Setup: FUNC=FULL, COMM=232, PROT=RTU, ADDR=Address, BAUD=Baud Rate, DATA=Data Bit Count, PARI=Parity Bit, STOP=Stop Bit Count Note: If the ETR-3400 is configured for RS-232 communication, the EI (Event Input) and input 2 are disconnected internally. The unit can no longer perform until an RS-232 module is connected.
Pv2). It is required that if the difference value is -100, 4mA will be exported, and if the difference value is 100, 20mA will be exported. Make the following Setup for ETR-3400: IN1U PU, DP1 NODP, IN2U PU, DP2 NODP, FUNC FULL,...
In certain applications the process value is too unstable to be read. To improve this, a programmable low pass filter incorporated in the ETR-3400 can be used. This is a first order filter with a time constant specified by the FILT pa- rameter which is contained in the setup menu.
4-12 Pump Control Pump Control function is one of the unique features of the ETR-3400. Using this function, the pressure in a process can be controlled precisely. The pressure in a process is commonly generated by a pump driven by a variable speed motor.
Programming Guide: 1. Perform auto-tuning to the system under such a condition that the material (i.e. pressure) is exhausted at typical rate. A typical value for PB1 is about 10 Kg/cm , TI1 is about 1 second, TD1 is about 0.2 second. 2.
5-1 Pump / Pressure Control A regulated water supply system is widely used in residence, water plant, chemical plant, electrical plant, semi- conductor plant ... etc. Taking the advantage of PUMP function, the ETR-3400 can be used for these types of applications.

Harmonic Current Higher Stress on the Load Load ( Heater ) Life Longer Shorter The output 1 and output 2 of ETR-3400 can be connected to VPFW SSR directly provided that a pulsed voltage drive output (ETR-3400-XX2XXX or ETR-3400-XXX2XX) is ordered.
An oven is designed to dry the product at 150˚F for 30 minutes and then stay unpowered for another batch. An ETR-3400 equipped with dwell timer is used for this purpose. The system diagram is shown as follows: Figure 5.5 Heat Control Example SP1=150.0...
5-4 Cool Only Control An ETR-3400 is used to control a refrigerator at temperature below 32˚F. To avoid the set point adjustment beyond the desired range, SP1L is set at 14˚F and SP1H is set at 32˚F. The temperature is lower than the ambient, a cool- ing action is required.
Since plastics are injected at a higher temperature (e.g. 250˚F), the circulation oil needs to be cooled as its temperature rises. Here is an example: Figure 5.7 Heat-Cool Control Example Injection Mold Plastics 120 F Pump Oil Tank Freezer Heater Supply 4-20 mA OUT2 OUT1 ETR-3400...
Apply Auto-Tuning at 120˚F for a new system to get an optimal PID values. See Section 3-20. The ETR-3400 is designed without heating-cooling dead band. The dead band, however, is implicitly contained in a very clever program such that if the process value increases (not necessarily exceeds the set point), the cooling control will provide an optimal amount of cool to the process.

ETR-3400 provides 4-20 mA signal to control the speed of the Inverter SP.P2 being chosen for EIFN is for the purpose of accomplishing a dual PID control. You can perform auto-tuning twice at SP1 and SP2 for initial setup to the dual values.
If you order a ETR-3400 with a retransmission unit for the master controller, and retransmit its set point to the input 2 of the rest of slave controllers, each zone will be synchronized with the same temperature. Here is an example: Figure 5.12 Remote Set Point Application...
4.12 M Height Outlet ETR-3400 Adjust SP1(here it is 1.00) to control the difference between PV1 and PV2. Choosing P1-2 for PVMD, the PV dis- play will show the difference value (PV1-PV2) between PV1 and PV2, and this value will be stabilized to the set point If you need PV1 or PV2 instead of PV, you can use the Display Mode to select PV1 or PV2 to be displayed.
5-9 Dual Set Point / PID The ETR-3400 will switch between the two PID sets based on the process value, the set point or either of the event input. As the control ramps up to the higher process value, the process characteristics change. As this happens, the original PID values are no longer valid.
Page 84
Example 2: Dual Set Point / PID A heat treating furnace is required to harden the mold at a high temperature (1000˚F) for 30 minutes, then the mold is cooled down with a programmable ramp (20˚F/minute) toward a lower set point (200˚F). Use the dual set point / PID and ramp / dwell functions for this application.
A cost effective solution for the above application is to use 80 units of ETR-3400 plus a SNA 10B Smart Network Adaptor and PC based software for this purpose. The system is installed as shown in the following diagram.
Setup Enter the setup mode to configure each ETR-3400. Choose FULL for FUNC, 485 for COMM, RTU for PROT and select an unequal address (ADDR) for each unit. Use the same values of BAUD, DATA, PARI and STOP for each ETR-3400, SNA10B and ETR-Net.

Chapter 6 Calibration Do not proceed through this section unless there is a definite need to re-calibrate the controller. Otherwise, all previous calibration data will be lost. Do not attempt recalibration unless you have appropriate calibration equipment. If calibration data is lost, you will need to return the controller to your supplier who may charge you a service fee to re-calibrate the controller.
