11.0 CS20 - TWO LOOP CONTROLLER
11.1 CS20 - TWO LOOP CONTROLLER
A two loop 53MC5000 Controller is configured at the factory for CS20 operation to provide the
standard displays listed in Table 11-2 and the default datapoint settings listed in Table 11-3. As a
Two Loop (PID) Controller, each loop Proportional Band is set at 100%; the Process Variables AI0-
1 are scaled 0-100% for linear 4-20 mA input signals; and AO0-1 are set as reverse action (PV
above setpoint causes decreasing value) control signals over a 4-20 mA signalling range. These
settings may be altered and additional Control Strategy 20 (CS20) functions can be activated as ne-
cessitated by the process application. The Two Loop Controller provides two identical standard
PID controllers with both control loops fully independent of each other. The input/output signals for
the two control loops are identical: Process Variable (PV), Remote Setpoint, Remote Setpoint En-
able, Control Output, and Process Alarms. Just as with the standard Single Loop (PID) Controller,
only the Process Variable and Control Output of each loop are required for control purposes; the
other signals do not have to be connected or configured . Each loop calculates an output from the
difference between its Process Variable feedback signal sent from a Field Transmitter (FT) (e.g,
flow meter) and its setpoint (SP) value. After the output is calculated, it is applied to a final control
loop element (e.g, valve) to restore process flow to the loop setpoint value. Validate the controller
model number to ensure it has the necessary two loop hardware capabilities. A typical low-resolu-
tion display Two Loop Controller process application is illustrated in Figure 11-1.
