Author: T. van Leeuwen Version: 1. Introduction This Quick Start Instruction is designed to set your Omron controller so that you can connect it, parameterize it and get it started quickly. This Quick Start Instruction contains only recommendations and does not substitute thorough study the user manual.

Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON Preparation To follow this guide it is important that you have the following hardware. Hardware • Temperature control E5CC E5EC E5…….. • Reader Temperature sensor: Pt100 or Thermocouple Sensor with process value 4-20mA or 0-10V •...
OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC Front E5CC Process Value = Actual and measured value. Set Value = Set and desired value. Outputs: Activated outputs. Level button: Level setting selection. Mode button: Parameter selection. Shift button: Programmable function button or number scrolling.
Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON 1. Connections & Settings This chapter discusses the basic settings and connections. Before contacting the help desk, please be sure to go through these. 1.1 Connecting the E5CC A connection diagram is displayed on the side of each controller. (See Figure 1.) The picture below is an example, the type you purchased may deviate from this.
OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC 1.1.1 Connecting sensor Pt100 If a Pt100 is used, connect it to clamps 4, 5, & 6. The controller expects a 3-wire Pt100, which generally has 2 identical colors and 1 different color. The identical colors go under clamps 5 and 6, the different color under clamp 4.
Please note the polarity See Figure 5 for connection diagram. Omron has a comprehensive package of solid-state relays 4-20mA Some processes need to be controlled by a 4-20mA signal. In this case, you also need a controller with this type of control output.

Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON 1.2 Setting up the controller For the correct operation of the controller, specific parameters need to be set. The most important settings are discussed in the following chapters. 1.2.1 Determining the sensor type At the factory, the controller is set to a type-K thermocouple. If you are using a different sensor type (for instance Pt100), you will find the correct setting in the table below (Figure 6).
OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC 1.2.2 Setting the sensor type To set the sensor type, you need to change the parameter in-t (input- type). Do this as follows: 1. Press the 1 button (level button) at least 3 seconds until in-t is displayed.
Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON 1.3 Selecting PID / ON-OFF Do you want accurate controls without the temperature overshooting? This is easily achieved by setting your controller as PID instead of ON-OFF. See Chapter 1.3.1 When the controller is set as PID controller, autotune must be run to get the correct PID values.
Caution: Running autotune may take some time, depending on your process. To guarantee the correct settings, do not interrupt this process. If autotune still has not completed after 2 hours, please contact the Omron help desk. During tuning the temperature may rise above the set value. If this is not desirable, then you may also select at-1.
Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON 1.4 Change alarm type The E5CC has 3 alarm outputs. These can be used to switch to an output when a specific value is reached. Some options: Option 1: Alarm when the temperature rises 5 degrees above the set value.
Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON 1.4.1 Setting the alarm In the previous chapter, the type of alarm was discussed. After setting the alarm type, you will set an alarm value. Do this as follows. 1. To set the alarms, press the 2nd button several times until al-1 is displayed.
OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC 1.5 Setting temperature shift If the temperature on the controller display deviates from your measured value (for instance due to ageing of the sensor), you can set a temperature shift. Enter the shift using the ins (input shift) parameter.
Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON 2. Advanced features The Omron E5CC has very powerful and advanced parameters. These are normally hidden, as they may severely disrupt the process. If you wish to change advanced parameters in the advanced setting level, lower the protect level to make them accessible.
OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC 2.1.1 Hiding parameters / Increasing protect level You can shield parameters from users or operators. In this example, we scroll through the settings so only the temperature can be changed. To increase the protect level, change the following settings.
Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON 2.3 Menu structure / Settings level diagram The following diagram (Figure 10) shows the different levels. In Chapter 2.4 you will find the complete parameter list. You can find a description of all levels and parameters in the manual which you can download from our web site.
OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC 2.4 Parameter list A comprehensive description of all levels and parameters is in the manual which you can download from our web site.
OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC 3. Q & A I get the message s-err. Answer: This is because the reader has been connected incorrectly, the controller has been set incorrectly, or the reader has a malfunction, see Chapter 1.2.1 and Chapter 1.2.2 The temperature varies.
Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON I want to block the buttons, so the controller cannot be operated by everyone. Answer: At the protect level you can assign user change rights. For an explanation, see Chapter 2.1.1 The user only has a right to change the temperature.
