Commission GENERAL The instrument is despatched from the factory with “default values” in all of the settable parameters. These values can be overwritten by the method described in section 2 Operating. When the instrument is first installed on a process the parameters mentioned in this section may be adjusted as described below.
Commission Setting Heat/Cool Dead Band On instruments fitted with a cool channel a parameter “db” sets the distance between the heat and cool proportional bands. This parameter has a maximum range of + 5% of the proportional band. Proportional Band Range of Dead Band “db”...
Commission Tuning the Loop Having set the above parameters the controller should be coupled to the finalised process and configured as proportional only. This can be achieved by selecting the parameters “ti”, integral time and “td” derivative time and setting them to the off position.
Commission The value of the proportional band (Pb) where oscillations commenced, and the time of oscillation (T) should be used in the following table to determine the critically damped values for a proportional, proportional+integraI or a proportional+integral+derivative control loop. F i n a l Setting of controller parameters Control for critical damping.
Commission Setting High and Low Cutback The parameters for cutback high “cbh” and cutback low “cbL” should both be initially set to one proportional band width, converted into display units. This can be calculated by taking the value in percentage that has been installed into the parameter “Pb”...
Page 74
Commission Self Tuning This routine is a single-shot process which will disable itself on completion. Once enabled the instrument exercises its output channels in a prescribed way, observing the effect this has on the measured value. Display Units Loop Setpoir PseudoSetpoir Instruments with Output 2...
Commission * cbL only set if,at self tune enable, the measured value was more than 5% of span below the setpoint and the parameter was not set to “off”. * cbh only set if, at self tune enable, the measured value was more than 5% of span above the setpoint and the parameter was not set to “off”.
Commission Setting a Setpoint Rate Limit Function The parameter “SPr” in the Operator Scroll List sets the setpoint rate limit. The value is set in display units per minute or per hour depending on the setting of the configuration. The value of the parameter “Uni Ramp” in the User Configuration indicates whether this ramp rate is in display units per minute or per hour, “LO”...
Commission ENTERING A PROGRAMME All models except the 9025 are fitted with the programmer feature. This may however have been disabled in the configuration in which case it will be necessary to enter this mode to re-enable this feature. Model 902P contains one programme whilst 903P and 904P contain a maximum of four and fifteen programmes respectively.
Commission Some applications require instantaneous changes to the setpoint, in certain parts of the programme, instead of a ramp. This can be achieved instead of setting a ramp under parameters “Prl-8” by keeping the down key depressed after the smallest value is displayed in which case “StEP” is displayed. This will cause the programmer set point to instantaneously jump from the level in the previous segment to the level in the next segment.
Commission P r o g r a m m e r Scroll list - 3 - 4 Ramp-Ramp or Dwell-Dwell Programmes The programme sequence of this controller is Ramp - Dwell - Ramp-Dwell etc. Programmes that do not conform to this convention can be entered i.e. Ramp Ramp - Dwell etc.
Commission setting the intermediate segment to either “None“ for a Ramp or “0.0” for a Dwell, which will remove that segment from the programme. When setting “Pr 1- 8”, if the “down” key is kept depressed after the lowest numerical value is displayed, the value “None”...
Commission 7.10 Linking Programmes For multi-programmers, consecutive programmes may be linked, producing programmes of 32, 48, 64 etc. segments. Setting the Loop Count in any programme to “COnt” will automatically link that programme to the next highest numbered programme. The value of the loop count in the last of a number of linked programmes set the number of repeats of the whole linked programme.
Commission OPTICAL PYROMETER INPUTS If the instrument has been configured for use with an optical pyrometer the value of character C and D of parameter “Cl ” in the instrument configuration “ICOnF” will be 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30. Configuration of the instrument for this type of input will cause the parameter “ES”...
Commission 9.0 SENSOR BREAK POWER Sensor break power is the default power to be requested when a process variable sensor break condition is detected. This could be a sensor going open circuit, over range or under range. During a sensor break condition, the main display will be replaced with a flashing indication;...
Commission 10.0 DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS If the digital communications port is to be used on this instrument, with either the RS 232 or RS 422 standard then a value must be entered under the address parameter “Add” in the Supervisor Scroll List. This address must agree with the value written into the supervisory software for that particular control loop.
Commission MOTOR VALVE POSITION CONTROL 11.0 Valve Position control uses the standard PID algorithm, modified by dedicated VP output drivers. Power feedback is not available. The VP may operate with either symetric or asymetric valve travel times. Provision is also made for a valve position indication and limiting, using feedback from a potentiometer fitted to the valve.
Commission F r o m I n s t r u m e n t S c r c ” Minimum On Time The parameter, “ot”, is set to allow for inertia in the motorised valve. The value defines the minimum “raise” or “lower” output pulse duration from the controller, which should be slightly greater than the minimum response time of the valve mechanism.
Commission Valve Update Time 11.3 The parameter, “Ut”, is set to minimise the amount of valve activity. The value defines the interval at which the required output is recalculated. Setting larger values reduces valve activity, but gives less stable control. Values between 0.1 second to travel time may be entered.
Configure GENERAL The 902/3/4 instruments can easily be configured to most users’ requirements on site. Changing the configuration will involve altering the software and may also involve hardware changes. The instrument is always fitted with a power supply PCB, a microprocessor PCB and a display PCB. To facilitate a large number of options a further two mutually exclusive options PCB’s may be installed.

Calibration 20mV Calibration Procedure 1) Press the scroll key until “i02” is displayed. 2) Set the output of the calibrator to 20.000mV. 3) Repeat the procedure 4 to 9 of paragraph 5.1 above for mnemonic ‘i02”. 4) If no further calibrations are required leave configuration as described in paragraph 6.0 of this section.
Cali bration C.J.C. Calibration Procedure 7) The leads between the calibrator and the instrument should now be changed for compensating cable, see Figure 2. C O N T R O L L E R COMPENSATED MILLIVOLT SOURCE Figure2 instrument connections for C J C calibration procedure.
Calibration 10) If the reading drifts by more than a few tenths of a degree in 30 seconds the calibration of ‘cJc’ has been unsucessful. Check the calibrator, instrument and compensating cable wiring. 11) Press the “up” and “down” keys simultaneously together to repeat the calibration of “cJc”.
Calibration 8) Press the “up” and “down” keys simultaneously. 9) The “rth” will disappear and the top dot of the LSD will flash for approximately 15 seconds. 10) The display will now read 250.0 11) If the reading drifts by more than a few tenths of an !A in thirty seconds, the RT calibration is unsucessful.
Page 123
Calibration 6) The display will now indicate a voltage reading of 10.000. A drift of more than a few mV’s in this reading in 30 seconds indicates that the calibration procedure was unsuccessful. 7) If unsuccessful check the calibrator, instrument and interconnections. 8) Press the “up”...

The amplitude of this voltage is the relevant currents, in amps, multiplied by 50. 4) Connect a voltage source such as the Eurotherm 239 to the instrument as Figure 6 using the terminals numbers selected from the table above.
C a l i b r a t i o n Valve Positioner Potentiometer Calibration Procedure 5.10 (Only applicable to controllers where the Valve Positioner output has been configured to be used with a potentiometer) The motorised valve plus potentiometer, that is to be used, must be wired to the controller, as shown in Figure 7, before commencing this calibration procedure.
Calibration This calibration procedure rescales the potentiometer, under the mnemonic “op” making the maximum and minimum selected positions now equal to 100% and 0% respectively. These settings limit the travel of the motor in the “Auto” mode. Potentiometer limits “PL” and “Ph” in the Installation Mode Scoll list can further restrict the movement of the motor if they are set to other than 0% and 100% respectively.

Communications 4.4. ASCII Fast Poll The order of the list of mnemonics given in paragraph 4.7 is important. An “ACK” transmitted back to the 902/3/4 after a request for data will initiate a fast poll and cause the instrument to automatically transmit the next mnemonic in the list together with its data.
Communications ASCII Parameter Mnemonic List 4.7. The order of this table is that which would be obtained if a fast poll was performed commencing from Instrument Identifier (II). This is a complete list of all the communication mnemonics. The actual list on any specific controller will be a configuration dependant subset of this list.

Error Messages 1 .o General The 902/3/4 controller has incorporated in its software programmes to detect faults in the operating procedures of the instrument. If one of these faults are detected, an error message will appear in either the upper or lower displays. These error messages can then be used to determine the corrective action necessary to return the instrument to full operational status.

Appendix Auto/Manual Alternative control conditions that can be selected within the controller. The instrument can be set into an automatic mode or set into manual operation. In ‘auto’ a closed loop condition, the power to the process is automatically computed and set by the sensor output relative to the setpoint.

Appendix integral Action Integral action is used to achieve zero steady state control error. The product of error and proportional gain is integrated into an accumulator which is added to output signal. A problem with integral action is that when large error signals exist for a significant period of time, such as following a large scale setpoint step, the integral accumulator assumes a very large value.
