INTRODUCTION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Thank you for purchasing the Fuji Electric PXZ controller. All of these Before using this product, the user is requested to read the following controllers are PID Autotune controllers that employ Fuji Electric’s precautions carefully to ensure safety. The safety requirements are patented fuzzy logic algorithms.

• Set the proportional time cycle parameter, “TC” to 30 secs. or more. • Use of “Z-trap” (manufacturer: Fuji Electric Co.) is recommended to protect the relay against switching surges and to ensure the prod- uct’s long life.
FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION FRONT PANEL OPERATION The PXZ controller programming menu consists of two blocks— PRIMARY (SETPOINT) MENU and SECONDARY (SYSTEM) MENU. At C1 C2 H L HB power up, the controller will be in the operational mode– process variable (PV), in the case of PXZ4, and both process variable and set- point variable (SV), in the case of PXZ-5, 7, 9 will be displayed.
AUTOTUNING PRIMARY MENU SETTINGS PARAMETER DESCRIPTION Before initiating the autotune function, first decide if you would like to autotune at setpoint or 10% of full scale below setpoint. Set the Main Setpoint Variable: The main setpoint variable is setpoint (SV), alarms (AL, AH) and the cycle time (TC). Bring your the control point you wish to maintain.

Low Alarm Setpoint: The Low Alarm Setpoint is that Hysteresis: The Hysteresis is that area around the main point of the process below which, the low alarm output setpoint where the output does not change condition. relay is energized. If the alarm type, programmed in the That area or deadband is intended to eliminate relay secondary menu, includes an absolute value for the chatter at setpoint for On/Off control applications.

Deadband/Overlap: The Deadband/Overlap is that per- Autotuning: Autotuning is the automatic calculation centage of the heating side of the proportional band and entering of the control parameters (P, I and D) into where the heating (output #1) and the cooling (output memory.

APPENDIX A The PXZ then reads the reaction of these test signals on the process. Keep in mind that every process is different and therefore every reac- tion to the test signals is different. This is why PID parameters are not Autotuning the same for different processes.
APPENDIX B al band too small, however, can lead to over-responsiveness leading to process oscillation. Manual Tuning A proportional band which is correct in width approaches main set- point as fast as possible while minimizing overshoot. If a faster Tune the PXZ controller if any of the following occurs: approach to setpoint is desired and process overshoot is not a prob- lem, a smaller or narrower proportional band may be used.

Integral Time is the speed at which the controller corrects for offset. Tuning A short integral time means the controller corrects for offset quickly. Tuning the PXZ, as with any PID loop, requires tuning each parameter If the integral time is too short, the controller would react before the separately and in sequence.
APPENDIX C Time Constant Heater Break Option The Heater Break Option is used to detect heater break conditions Time and to energize an alarm relay when such conditions exist. In most cases, the option is used to detect the failure of one or more zones in 4.

5. If the cycle times of one or both outputs are long and the process dynamic, there is a good chance that both outputs will be cycling on and off at the same time around main setpoint. This is evident if one or both outputs are relays.
