MODEL CSPID – MODULAR CONTROLLER SERIES PID MODULES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model CSPID series modules are full featured PID controllers designed
for use with the Modular Controller Series. The CSPID1 is a single loop
controller, while the CSPID2 is a dual loop controller. The design of the system
provides a true modular PID control platform for multi-zone control
applications. The modules can accept a wide range of thermocouple, RTD, 0-10
V, 0/4-20 mA signals. With multiple discrete outputs, plus an optional analog
output (CSPID1 only), the CSPID modules can perform virtually any
combination of time-proportioning or linear control for heat, cool, or heat/cool
applications. The discrete outputs may also be assigned to one of seven internal
soft alarms. The CSPID1's optional linear output can be assigned to transmit
virtually any internal variable.
The CSPID modules connect and communicate via a backplane connection to
the CSMSTR Modular Controller Series Master. The CSMSTR, equipped with
serial ports as well as an Ethernet port, allows the system to share data with PCs,
PLCs, and SCADA systems. The Master supports any combination of up to 16
CS Series modules.
The CSPID modules are available with various discrete output combinations,
including relays, open drain MOSFETs, and triac outputs. For applications
requiring large loads to be controlled, several DIN rail mount relays are available.
The modules can operate in On/Off, P, PI, or PID control mode, and use an
on-demand Auto-Tune that establishes the tuning constants. The PID constants
may be fine-tuned through the serial or Ethernet interface. The modules employ
a unique overshoot suppression feature, which allows the quickest response
without excessive overshoot. The modules can also be operated in manual mode,
providing the operator with direct control of the output.
Internal power management circuits allow the modules to be replaced while
power is applied, which reduces downtime in the event of a relay failure. All
configuration information is stored locally within each module, as well as in the
Master, so replacement modules do not need to be configured.
The Modular Controller Series' high density packaging and DIN rail
mounting saves time and panel space. The backplane connection provides power
and communication to the module and snaps easily onto standard top hat (T)
profile DIN rail.
CONFIGURATION
The Modular Controller Series is configured with Windows
Crimson™ software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which
provides a means of communication configuration, as well as commissioning
and calibration of new systems.

HEATER CURRENT MONITOR OPTION
heater degradation, or heater circuit failure. The input connects to a current
transformer with an output of 100 mA AC to ensure that proper heater current is
present when the control output is on, and that little or no current is present when
the output is off. This option provides immediate warning of a circuit short or
open, instead of waiting for a high or low temperature shutdown alarm.
