1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction The new generation low-cost PID microprocessor-based Fuzzy logic controller series incorporate two bright easy to read LCD Displays which indicate Process Value (PV) and Setpoint (SP). The Fuzzy Logic technology incorporated on these series controllers enables a process to reach a predetermined set point in the shortest time with a minimum of overshoot during startup (Power ON) or external load disturbances (example: an oven door being opened).
LCD Display All the controllers in this series will be equipped with high brightness LCD Display. Digital Communication RS-485 Digital communication is available as an additional option. These options allow the units to be integrated with supervisory control systems and software. A Micro USB programming port is available for automatic configuration, calibration and testing without the need to access the keys on the front panel.
Programming Port A Micro USB programming port is available for automatic configuration, calibration and firmware upgrades without the need to access the keys on the front panel. 1-2.Programming Port Auto-tuning The auto-tuning function allows the user to simplify the initial setup for a new system. A clever algorithm is provided to obtain an optimal set of control parameters for the process.

3 Programming Press for 5 seconds and release to enter the setup menu. Press and release to select the desired parameter. The upper display indicates the parameter symbol, and the lower display indicates the value of the selected parameter. 3.1 User Security There are two parameters PASS (password) and CODE (security code) which will control the data security function.
3.3 Control Output There are 4 kinds of control modes can be configured as shown below. Control Mode OUT 1 OUT 2 O1HY Heat Only REVR ∆ Cool Only DIRT ∆ Heat PID, Cool ON-OFF REVR COOL Heat PID, Cool PID REVR COOL 3-2.Control Mode...
3.3.2 Heat only P or PD Control Select REVR for OUT1 set TI = 0, OFST is used to adjust the controlled offset (manual reset). If PB ≠0 then O1HY will be hidden. OFST Function: OFST is measured in % with a range of 0 - 100.0 %. When the process is stable, let’s say the process value is lower than the setpoint by 5°C.
3.3.7 DB Programming Adjustment of DB (Dead band) is dependent on system requirements. If a greater dead band is used, then an unwanted cooling action can be avoided, but an excessive overshoot of the setpoint will occur. If a smaller dead band (DB) is used, then an excessive overshoot can be minimized, but an overlapping of the heating and cooling action will occur.
3.5 Alarm The controller has up to four alarm outputs depending on the controller model. There are 16 types of alarm functions and one dwell timer that can be selected. There are 4 kinds of alarm modes (A1MD, A2MD, A3MD, and A4MD) available for each alarm function (A1FN, A2FN, A3FN, and A4FN). In addition to the alarm output, output 2 can also be configured as an alarm.
Page 86
Heater break detection is enabled by setting A1FN to HBEN. A Heater break alarm (H. bK) alerts the user when the current measured by CT1 in CT1R is lower than HB1T, or CT2 in CT2R is lower than HB2T. When the current measured by CT1 in CT1R is higher than HB1T+HBHY and CT2 in CT2R is lower than HB2T+HBHY, the heater break alarm will be off.
3.5.2 Alarm Modes There are six types of alarm modes available for each alarm function. 1. Normal alarm 2. Latching alarm 3. Holding alarm 4. Latching/ Holding alarm 5. Setpoint Holding Alarm 6. Latching None Reset Alarm 3.5.2.1 Normal Alarm: ALMD = NORM When a normal alarm is selected, the alarm output is de-energized in the non-alarm condition and energized in an alarm condition.
3-20 Process Value High- Latching & Holding Alarm 3.5.3 Alarm Delay In certain applications during startup, nuisance alarms will be generated before the process value reaches the set point. To avoid these kinds of nuisance alarms, a time delay for alarms is available. To enable the time delay for alarms, set the delay time using the A1DL, A2DL, A3DL, and A4DL parameters.
3.6 User Select Menu Configuration Conventional controllers are designed with parameters in a fixed order. If the user needs a friendlier menu operation to suit their application, most conventional controllers do not offer a solution. The C series controllers have the flexibility for the user to select those parameters which are most significant and put these parameters in an easy access USER menu.
3.7 Ramp The ramping function is performed during power up as well as any time the setpoint is changed. Choose MINR or HRR for the RAMP setting, and the controller will perform the ramping function. The ramp rate is programmed by adjusting the RR setting. The ramping function is disabled as soon as the Failure mode, the Manual control mode, the Auto-Tuning mode or the Calibration mode occur.
After the timer has finished, the dwell timer can be restarted by pressing the RESET key. The timer stops counting during manual control mode, failure mode, calibration and Auto-Tuning. If alarm1 is configured as a dwell timer, A1HY and A1MD are hidden. It is similar for other alarms as well. 3.9 User Calibration Each unit is calibrated in the factory before shipment.
3.10 Digital Filter In certain applications, the process value is too unstable to be read. To improve this, a programmable low pass filter incorporated in the controller can be used. This is a first-order filter with a time constant specified by the FILT parameter. A value of 0.5 seconds is used as a factory default. Adjust FILT to change the time constant from 0 to 60 seconds.
3.11.3 Alarm Failure Transfer An alarm failure transfer is activated as the controller enters failure mode. After that, the alarm output will transfer to the ON or OFF state which is determined by the set value of A1FT, A2FT, A3FT, and A4FT. 3.12 Auto-Tuning The Auto-Tuning process will be performed at the setpoint (SP1).
3.13 Manual Tuning In certain applications (very few), using Auto-Tuning to tune a process may be inadequate for the control requirement. In this case, the user can try manual tuning. If the control performance by using Auto- Tuning is still unsatisfactory, the following guidelines can be applied for further adjustment of PID values.
3.15 Default Setting 3.15.1 Factory Default Setting The controller’s parameters can be loaded with default values listed in the parameter description table. In certain situation, it is desirable to retain these values after the values of the parameters have been changed.
3.17 Retransmission The controller can output (retransmit) PV or SP via its retransmission terminals RE+ and RE- provided that the retransmission option is ordered. A correct signal type should be selected for the option board to meet the retransmission option installed. RELO and REHI are adjusted to specify the low scale and high scale values of retransmission.
3.19 Event Input There are 6 or 2 or 1 Event Inputs that are available in this series of controllers depending on the size of the controller. Refer section 2.8 for wiring an event input. The Event input accepts a digital (on/off) type signal.
LOCK: All parameters are locked and unable to be changed (Read-only) in communication. AU.MA: Switch between Auto-Tuning and manual tuning control mode. F.tra: Switch to Failure Transfer Mode AL. oN: If Alarm 2 or Alarm 3 set to E1.c.o or E2.c.o then EI1 or EI2 will activate Alarm Output Alarm 2 or Alarm 3.
3.21.2 RUN Select the profile rune mode. There are 5 modes available in the controller. 1. StAR: Start to run profile 2. CoNt: Continue run profile 3. PV: Continue run profile from current PV 4. Hold: Hold profile 5. SToP: Stop profile 3.21.2.1 StAR The Profile starts to run from the first segment in the selected profile.
3.21.6 PFR If power is lost and then restored, while a profile is running, the behaviour of the profile is determined by the setting of the parameter “PFR “power fail recovery in the profile configuration. The options available for PFR are CONT, PV, SP1. 3.21.6.1 CONT If CONTis selected, then when power is restored the profile continues from where it was interrupted when power was lost.
3-30.Power failure recovery from PV at Ramp Segment 3.21.6.3 SP1 If SP1 If is selected, then when power is restored the profiler is disabled and it enters static mode, and SP1 is selected for control set point. 3.21.7 Holdback As the set point ramps up or down (or dwells), the measured value may lag or deviate from the setpoint by an undesirable amount.
3.21.11.1 Profile Segment Parameters Each profile segments have the following parameters. 1. Target Set Point (TSP) 2. Ramp Time (RPT) 3. Soak Time (SKT) 3.21.11.1.1 Target Set point The target Setpoint of the segment can be configured by the parameters TSP1, TSP2, TSP3, TSP4, TSP5, TSP6, TSP7, TSP8, TSP9, TSPA, TSPB, TSPC, TSPD, TSPE, TSPF, and TSPG.
4 Applications 4.1 Heat Only Control with Dwell Timer An oven is designed to dry the products at 150°C for 30 minutes, and then stay unpowered for another batch. A C Series controller equipped with a dwell timer is used for this purpose. The system diagram is shown as below.
4.2 Cool Only Control A C Series Controller is used to control a refrigerator at a temperature below 0°C. Since the required temperature is lower than the ambient temperature, a cooling action is required. Hence, select DIRT for OUT1. Since output 1 is used to drive a magnetic contactor, O1TY is set to RELY. A small temperature oscillation is tolerable;...
4.3 Heat and Cool Control An injection mold is required to be controlled at 120°C to ensure a consistent quality of the parts. An oil pipe is buried in the mold. Since plastic is injected at a higher temperature (e.g. 250°C), the circulation oil needs to be cooled as its temperature rises.
4.4 Ramp & Dwell 4.4.1 Temperature Cycling Chamber A chamber is used to test the temperature cycling effect on personal Computers. An external cycle timer is used to control the event input for switching the set point. The products under test are required to stay at 60°C for 1 hour and -10°C for 1 hour. The transition interval between high-low temperatures is required to be 5 minutes.
4.4.2 Programmable Bread Baking Oven Bread is baked in batches. A ramp is incorporated to control the thermal gradient to suit for making the bread. A dwell timer is used to shut off the oven power and announce to the baker. The system is configured as shown in the following diagram and configuration.
4.5 Remote Setpoint An on-line multiple zone oven is used to dry paint. Since heat demand varies at different positions in the production line, multiple zones with individual controls should be used to ensure a consistent temperature profile. If the user uses a C Series Controller with a retransmission output for the master controller and retransmits its setpoint to the remote Setpoint input of the slave controllers, each zone will be synchronized with the same temperature.
4.6 RS 485 Communication in Controller A Tile making plant has 5 production lines. Each production line is equipped with 16 Controllers to control the temperature for the Kiln. The foreman wants to be able to program the controllers and monitor the process in the control room to improve quality and productivity.
4.7 Retransmission Application An air-conditioned room uses controllers to control its temperature and humidity. The temperature and humidity are required to be recorded on a recorder. The ranges of interest for these two quantities are 20°C to 30°C and 40% RH to 60% RH. The recorder inputs accept 0 - 5 V signal. To achieve this, set the following parameters in the Setup menu.
4.8 Ramp & Soak Profile in Heat Treatment Chamber A heat treatment chamber needs to vary temperature as a function of time. Because the process requires a rapid increase in temperature as it is heated and a rapid decrease in temperature as it is cooled.

5 Calibration Do not proceed through this section unless there is a definite need to re-calibrate the controller. All previous calibration data will be lost. Do not attempt recalibration unless you have appropriate calibration equipment. If calibration data is lost, you will need to return the controller to your supplier who may charge you a service fee to re-calibrate the controller.
5.1.1.3 Calibrate Offset of Cold Junction Compensation Setup the equipment according to the following diagram for calibrating the cold junction compensation. Note that a K type thermocouple must be used. 5-1.Cold Junction calibration Setup Let controller sit at least 20 minutes in a room temperature of 25±3°C. The 5520A calibrator is to be configured as a K type thermocouple output with internal compensation.
5.1.1.6 Calibrate Linear Input Select the input type as 0 to 10V in the INPT parameter in bASE menu configuration. Press and hold the scroll key until appears on the display, then release the scroll key. Press the scroll key for 2-3 seconds then release, the display will show and the unit will enter the calibration mode.
6 Communication This chapter explains the Modbus Communication protocol of the controller using RS-485 communication. This supports only RTU mode. Data is transmitted as 8-bit binary bytes with 1 start bit,1 stop bit and optional parity checking (None, Odd, Even). Baud rate may be set to 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600 and 115200 BPS.

6.2 Exception Responses If the controller receives a message which contains a corrupted character (parity check error, framing error etc.), or if the CRC16 check fails, the controller ignores the message. However, if the controller receives a syntactically correct message which contains an illegal value, it will send an exception response, consisting of five bytes as follows: Slave address +offset function code + exception code + CRC16 Hi +CRC16 Lo Where the offset function code is obtained by adding the function code with 128 (i.e.
