1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction Generally most of the furnace applications require Controller and Recorder separately to control and record the data. Some Furnaces application requires Ramp & Dwell controllers .The new generation Paperless Recorder provides PID Control, Ramp & Dwell Control and Recording in one device by using the new process control Card PC201 .
100msec Sampling rate and log speed for Data Acquisition Real time and Historical Trends for PV and SV 1.3 Process Control Card The Process Control Card uses Fuzzy Logic plus PID microprocessor technology for its control. The Fuzzy Logic plus PID microprocessor based technology enables a process to reach a predetermined set point in the shortest time, with the minimum of overshoot during power-up or external load disturbance.
The function of Fuzzy Logic is to adjust PID parameters internally in order to make manipulation output value MV more flexible and adaptive to various processes.PID + Fuzzy Control has been proven to be an efficient method to improve the control stability as shown by the comparison of curves shown below.
Flexible Configuration of Program 1.3.1 There are up to 32 segments can be defined for a profile. Each segment can be configured as a ramp or a dwell (soak) segment or defining a repeat number of cycles at arbitrary location within the profile and finally terminated by an end segment.
Fuzzy Control 1.3.7 The function of Fuzzy control is to adjust PID parameters from time to time in order to make manipulation output value more flexible and adaptive to various processes. The results are to enable a process to reach a predetermined set point in the shortest time with the minimum of overshoot and undershoot during power-up or external load disturbance.

L: Low limit. Any the process is lower than low limit, the alarm or job is actuated. HH: High High limit, to set up another limit higher than high limit for double warning. LL: Low Low limit, to set up another limit lower than low limit for double warning. Dev+: Trigger an event on positive deviation of process value.
Hysteresis To avoid the event or alarm has been activated too often hysteresis value can be set for the alarm to change it in to normal state. Hysteresis value can be defined for the event trigger set point. Holding time: It refers to, suppose the set point is reached, but the user want to wait for some time to activate that action.
selecting TIMR for A1FN or A2FN). The output 1 hysteresis (O1HY) is enabled in case of PB1 = 0. The heat only on-off control function is shown in the following diagram. Figure 4-28.Heat Only ON-OFF Control The ON-OFF control may introduce excessive process oscillation even if Hysteresis is minimized to the smallest.
improve the control .This Process Control Card contains a very clever PID and Fuzzy algorithm to achieve a very small overshoot and very quick response to the process if it is properly tuned. 4.3.1.1.4.2 Cool Only ON-OFF Control ON-OFF control, P (PD) control and PID control can be used for cool control. Set OUT1 to DIRT (direct action).
Table 4-41.Heat Cool Control Modes Note The ON-OFF control may result excessive overshoot and undershoot problems in the process. The P (or PD) control will result in a deviation process value from the set point. It is recommended to use PID control for the Heat-Cool control to produce a stable and zero offset process value.
Heat PID+Cool PID: set OUT1=REVR, OUT2=COOL, CPB=100, DB=-4.0, PB1=0, TI1=0, TD1=0, and set appropriate values for O1TY, CYC1, O2TY, and CYC2. 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.
4.3.1.1.4.5 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 with=AL2 and A1FN with LB. TIME, A1SP, A1DV and A1HY are hidden if alarm 1 is configured as a loop break alarm.
4.3.1.1.4.7 Failure Transfer The controller will enter failure mode as one of the following conditions occurs. SB1E Error 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.
Alarm 2 Failure Transfer is activated as the controller enters failure mode. Thereafter the alarm 2 will transfer to the ON or OFF state preset by A2FT.Alarm 2 Failure Transfer is activated as the controller enters failure mode. Exception: If Loop Break (LB) alarm or sensor Break (SENB) alarm is configured for A2FN, the alarm 2 will be switched to ON state independent of the setting of A2FT.
continues to control by using its previous value. If the load doesn't change, the process will remain stable. Thereafter, once the load changes, the process may run away. Therefore, the user should not rely on a bumpless transfer for a longer time. For fail safe reason, an additional alarm should be used to announce the operator when the system fails.
Figure 4-33.PV1 SHIFT Application 4.3.1.1.4.10 SP1 Range SP1L (SP1 low limit value) and SP1H (SP1 high limit value) in setup menu are used to confine the adjustment range of SP1. Example: A freezer is working in its normal temperature range -10 C to -15 C. In order to avoid an abnormal set point, SP1L and SP1H are set with the following values: SP1L = -15 C SP1H = -10 C Now SP1 can only be adjusted within the range from -10 C to -15 C.
out. The timer relay will remain unchanged until time out. The dwell timer operation is shown as following diagram. Figure 4-35.Dwell Timer If alarm 1 is configured as dwell timer, A1SP, A1DV, A1HY and A1MD are hidden. Same case is for alarm 2. Example Set A1FN=TIMR or A2FN=TIMR but not both.
When a normal alarm is selected, the alarm output is de-energized in the non-alarm condition and energized in an alarm condition. Latching Alarm: A1MD = LTCH If a latching alarm is selected, once the alarm output is energized, it will remain unchanged even if the alarm condition is cleared.
Figure 4-38.Holding Process Alarm Figure 4-39.Latching / Holding Process Alarm Although the above descriptions are based on alarm 1, the same conditions can be applied to alarm 2. 4.3.1.1.4.13 Deviation Alarm 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.
For alarm 1, Trigger levels=SP1+A1DV 1/2 A1HY. For alarm 2, Trigger levels=SP1+A2DV 1/2 A2HY. A1SP and/or A2SP are hidden if alarm 1 and/or alarm 2 are set with deviation alarm. One of 4 kinds of alarm modes can be selected for alarm 1 and alarm 2. These are Normal alarm, latching alarm, Holding alarm and Latching/Holding alarm.
Figure 4-43.Latching/Holding Deviation Alarm 4.3.1.1.4.14 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 deviation band low alarm (A1FN or A2FN select DB.LO).
Figure 4-45.Latching Deviation Band Alarm Figure 4-46.Holding Deviation Band Alarm Figure 4-47.Latching/Holding Deviation Band Alarm 4.3.1.1.4.15 Event Input The Event input accepts a digital type signal. Three types of signals can be connected to event input. These are Relay or switch contacts Open collector pull low Page 91 of 113...

TTL logic level One of ten available functions can be chosen by using (EIFN) contained in setup menu. NONE: Event input No function. If chosen, the event input function is disabled. The controller will use PB1, TI1 and TD1 for PID control and SP1 (or other values determined by SPMD) for the set point.
When any of D.O1, D.O2 or D.O1.2 is selected for EIFN, the output 1 and/or output 2 will revert to their normal conditions as soon as the event input is released. LOCK: All parameters are locked to prevent from being changed. SP2F Function: Define format of SP2 value.
Application 1: Programmed by Set Point Choose SP.P2 for EIFN then both set point and PID values will be switched to another set simultaneously. The signal applied to event input may come from a Timer, a PLC, an Alarm Relay, a Manual Switch or other devices.
The timer is programmed by using TIME which is contained in Configuration menu. The Timer starts to count as soon as the process reaches its set point, and triggers an alarm as time out. Here is an example. Example without Dwell Timer Select TIMR for A1FN, IN1U selects F, DP1 selects NODP, Set TIME=30.0 SP1 is set to 400 F initially, and corrected to 200 F before the process reaches 200°...
Figure 4-50.Ramp Accompanied with Dwell Timer 4.3.1.1.4.19 Remote Set Point SPMD selecting PV1 or PV2 will enable the Process Control Card 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.
IN2L, IN2H if available, are set according to the process signal SPMD= PV1 Note: If PV1 are chosen for both SPMD and PVMD, an Error Code will appear. If PV2 are chosen for both SPMD and PVMD, an Error Code will appear. The user should not use these cases, otherwise, the Process Control Card will not control properly.
4.3.1.1.4.21 Output Power Limit In certain system 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 the user can use the Power Limit function. Output 1 power limit PL1 is contained in Configuration. If output 2 is not used for cooling (that is COOL is not selected for OUT2), then PL2 is hidden.
from 0 to 60 seconds. 0 second represents no filter is applied to the input signal. The filter is characterized by the following diagram. Figure 4-53.Filter Characteristics Note: The Filter is available only for PV1, and is performed for the displayed value only. The controller is designed to use unfiltered signal for control even if Filter is applied.
