    ###### CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION

    From its surge-resistant power supply to its rugged construction, the 545 process controller is designed to ensure the integrity of your process with maximum reliability — hour after hour, day after day. The isolated inputs and outputs guard against the dangers of electrical interference, the front face meets NEMA 4X standards for watertight operation and exposure to corrosive environments, and the solid metal housing and sturdy rubber keys enhance durability and ESD protection. The 545 has been engineered to be the industry’s most user–friendly process controller. With three digital display areas — two offering up to 9 characters of true alphanumerics — the 545 effectively eliminates the cryptic messages that could confuse even the most experienced operator. The bright, crisp display is vacuum fluorescent, and offers much better readability than any other display technology. Additional operator–friendly features include: custom programmable alarm messages, illuminated keys, and an easy to use menu system. The 545 is the most accurate instrument in its class. With a sampling rate of eight times per second, it is ideal for demanding pressure and flow applications. The 545 also offers two universal process inputs and modular, field interchangeable outputs that allow more flexibility than ever before. With two independent full feature control loops, the 545 can take the place of two PID controllers; additionally, preprogrammed functions can be called for cascade, ratio and feed forward applications.

    The 545 uses foreground and background loops that facilitate straight forward operator interface in any of the dual loop modes. It also offers sophisticated control algorithms, including heuristic adaptive tuning, split range and duplex outputs (control), and open or closed loop electric actuator control (velocity control).

    Thank you for selecting the dual loop Process Controller. The 545 is user-configurable for any of the following functions:

  • • Two independent PID loops
  • • Single Station Cascade Control
  • • Single Station Ratio Control
  • • Feed Forward Control
  • Specifications and information subject to change without notice.

    ########### 545 MODES

    Page 5

    There are three operating modes for the 545 controller: OPERATION, the default mode of the controller. When the 545 is operating, you can change setpoints, select manual control and change output level, acknowledge alarms and monitor conditions.

    SET UP, also referred to as configuration. Here you set up the basic functions of the instrument such as input and output assignments, alarm types and special functions

    TUNING, where you configure function parameters for Proportional, Integral and Derivation (PID) control. Use this mode periodically to optimize the control performance of the instrument.

    ########### BASIC OPERATION PROCEDURES A Quick Explanation of Dual Loop Operation

    Upon power up, Loop 1 is in the foreground (displayed), and Loop 2 is in the “background” (hidden). Set up changes only affect the foreground loop; to make changes to the operation of the background loop, it must be brought to the foreground.

    Page 9

    The controller helps the user identify the foreground and background loops with the following:

  • • When Loop 2 is in foreground DISPLAY key and the PV2 icon are lit
  • • The third display will show a message identifying the foreground loop.
  • Use the following as a quick guide to key operating functions of your 545. Most of these procedures will affect whichever loop is in the foreground at the time you execute the procedures. Those that are specified by the wordGLOBALwill affect both loops (the whole controller).

    ############### To switch the foreground and background loops

    ############### 1. Press FAST+DISPLAY. To select /change a setpoint

  • 1. Use DISPLAY key to toggle display to Set Point.
  • 2. Use SET PT key to toggle to active setpoint.
  • Before the newly selected setpoint is made active, there is a two-second delay to prevent any disruptive bumps. If the setpoint displayed is ramping, RAMPING will show the 3rd display.

  • 3. To change value, press ▲▲▲ or ▼▼▼ . To change from auto to manual control (bumpless transfer)
  • 1. When in automatic control, press theMANUALkey at any time, except while in the TUNING mode.
  • 2. TheMANUALkey will light in red, and the 2nd display will immediately change to indicate current output level.
  • ############### To change from manual to auto

  • 1. When in manual control, press MANUAL at any time except while in the TUNING or SET UP mode.
  • 2. The 2nd display will not change, and the MANUAL key will no longer be lit once control changes.
  • ############### To change manual output values

  • 1. Make sure the controller is under manual control.
  • 2. Use the DISPLAY key to toggle 2nd display to output level.
  • 3. Use the ▲▲▲ or ▼▼▼ key to change the value. To override security
  • If a locked operation is attempted, SECURITY appears in the 2nd display for two seconds.

  • 1. Use the ▲▲▲and▼▼▼keys to quickly enter the security code, which will show in the 3rd display. The starting value is 0. Note: Two seconds of key inactivity will clear the display.
  • 2. If the code is correct,CORRECTappears in the 3rd display. The display will clear after two seconds, allowing full access.
  • ################################## NOTE:

    See the glossary in Appendix 6 for explanation of rampingand target setpoint. Also refer to the section in

    Chapter 7.

    Page 10

    ################################## NOTE:

    All alarms are software alarms unless tied to an output relay in the SET UP mode. See Chapter 5 and Chapter 7 for more details on alarms.

  • 4. If code is incorrect,INCORRECTappears in the 3rd display. INCORRECT will disappear after two seconds, and a new security code can then be entered.
  • 5. The controller will revert back to full security lock after one minute of key inactivity.
  • ############### To display control output value

  • ToggleDISPLAYkey until the 2nd display shows OUT followed by the output percentage. This value is the PID output.
  • • In duplex applications, this value does not directly refer to the output signal (refer to the Chapter 7 section on Duplex Control for details.)
  • • For on/off outputs, the output value shown is either ON or OFF.
  • • For duplex applications with two on/off outputs, the OUT tag is not shown. In this case, the status of both outputs is shown in the following manner: 1:ON 2:OFF (1 and 2 are the respective outputs).
  • ############### To display the active PID set

  • 1. Select the desired foreground loop (hold FAST, press DISPLAY).
  • 2. Press MENU to reach Tuning Mode.
  • 3. In TUNING Mode, press MENU to reach the correct Menu parameter.
  • 4. The active PID set will have an asterisk (*) on both sides of the value.
  • ########### ALARM OPERATION

    Alarms may be used in systems to provide warnings of unsafe conditions. All 545 operators must know how the alarms are configured, the consequences of acknowledging an alarm, and how to react to alarm conditions.

    ############### Alarm Indication

    Depending on how the system is configured, the 545 indicates an alarm condition(s) for the foreground loop by:

  • • Lit icons ALM 1 and/or ALM 2
  • • Lit ACK key
  • • Displayed alarm message The 545 indicates an alarm condition(s) for the background loop by:
  • • Showing the (user defined) message for one or both alarms in the third display (alternate displays for simultaneous alarms).
  • To acknowledge an alarm(s): An acknowledgeable alarm has both a lit icon and a lit ACK key. A non-acknowledgeable alarm has only a lit icon. Figure 2.2 demonstrates acknowledging an alarm.

  • 1. If the alarm is in the background, bring that loop forward using FAST+DISPLAY.
  • 2. To acknowledge Alarm 1, press ACK once.
  • 3. To acknowledge Alarm 2, press ACK twice.
  • 4. If both alarms are activated, pressACKonce to acknowledge Alarm 1, then again to acknowledge Alarm 2.
  • 5. The message and alarm icon disappear.

    Latching Alarms If an alarm is set up to be latching (for details, see Chapter 5) then, in general, it must be acknowledged in order to clear the alarm and release the relay (if applicable). A non-latching alarm will clear itself as soon as the process leaves the alarm condition. Limit Sequence

    An alarm can be configured to be both latching and non-acknowledgeable. In this case, the alarm is acknowledgeable only after the process has left the alarm condition. This is similar to the function of a limit controller.

    More on Alarms For more details on how to set up alarms and for examples of various ways alarms can be set up, refer to the section on Alarms in Chapter 7.

    ############################################## NOTE:

    Powering down the 545 acknowledges/ clears all latched alarms. When powering up, all alarms will be reinitialized.

    ########### WIRING

    Our 545 controllers are thoroughly tested, calibrated and “burned in” at the factory, so the controller is ready to install. Before beginning, read this chapter thoroughly and take great care in planning a system. A properly designed system can help prevent problems such as electrical noise disturbances and dangerous extreme conditions.

  • 1. For improved electrical noise immunity, install the 545 as far away as possible from motors, relays and other similar noise generators.
  • 2. Do not run low power (sensor input) lines in the same bundle as AC power lines. Grouping these lines in the same bundle can create electrical noise interference.
  • 3. All wiring and fusing should conform to the National Electric Code and to any locally applicable codes.
  • 4. An excellent resource about good wiring practices is the IEEE Standard No. 518-1982 and is available from IEEE, Inc., 345 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017, (212) 705-7900.
  • Diagrams on the next three pages serve as guides for wiring different types of process inputs. The shaded areas on the diagrams show which rear terminals are used for that type of wiring.

    ########### OUTPUT MODULES

    The 545 output modules are used for control, alarms and retransmission. The four output module types are: Mechanical Relay, Solid State Relay (Triac), DC Logic (SSR Drive) and Analog (Milliamp).

    To install these modules, plug them into any of the four output sockets on the printed circuit boards (refer to Chapter 4). The wiring is the same whether the modules are used for control, alarm or retransmission.

    The diagrams on the next two pages are a guide for properly connecting the various outputs. To find out which module(s) have been installed in the controller, compare the product number on the controller label with the section Order Code in Chapter 1. This section also includes a diagram of how to wire a position proportioning output, a special application using two mechanical or two solid state relays.

    ############### 1. Mechanical Relay Output

  • • Output 1 is always Control 1.
  • • Outputs 1, 2 and 3 are jumper selectable for normally open and normally closed on the power supply circuit board.
  • • Output 4 is always configured for normally open and has reduced voltage and current ratings (see Specifications).
  • NOTE: Refer to Figure 4.2 for location of the corresponding jumpers. Second input jumper connector on the option board must be in either mA (milliamp) or V(voltage) position.

  • ########### Serial Communications

    A twisted shielded pair of wires should be used to interconnect the host and field units. Belden #9414 foil shield or #8441 braid shield 22-gauge wire are acceptable for most applications. The foil shielded wire has superior noise rejection characteristics. The braid shielded wire has more flexibility. The maximum recommended length of the RS 485 line is 4000 feet. Termination resistors are required at the host and the last device on the line. Some RS 485 cards/converters already have a terminating resistor. We recommend using RS-232/RS-485 converter (Product #500-485). The communication protocol is asynchronous bidirectional half-duplex, hence the leads are labelledComm +andComm –.

    Use a 60 to 100 Ohm terminating resistor connected to the two data terminals of the final device on the line.

    CAUTION The shield needs to be connected continuously but only tied to one ground at the host. Failure to follow these proper wiring practices could result in transmission errors and other communications problems.

    ###### CHAPTER 4 HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

    Hardware configuration determines the available outputs as well as the type of input signal. The 545 controller comes factory set with the following:

  • • All specified module and options installed (for details, refer to the Order Code in Chapter 1).
  • • Process variable and remote setpoint set to accept a milliamp input.
  • • Relay outputs set to normally open. Alter the factory configuration of the 545, requires accessing the circuit boards, and locating the jumpers and output modules (see Figure 4.1).
  • 1. With the power off, loosen the four front screws, and remove them.
  • 2. Slide chassis out of the case by pulling firmly on the bezel.
  • FRONT FACE

    MICROCONTROLLERBOARD

    POWER SUPPLYBOARD

    OPTION BOARD

    NOTE: Hardware configuration of the controller is available at the factory; Consult an application engineer for details.

    Figure 4.1 Location of Printed Circuit Boards for Hardware Configuration

    A detailed view of the circuit boards appears in Figure 4.2. After configuring the hardware, or if no changes are necessary, continue setting up the process as needed.

    ########### HARDWARE INPUT TYPES The Process Variable

    The 545 accepts several different types of process variable signals. Set a jumper location to specify the type of input signal. Set the signal range in the software (see Chapter 5 for software menus, or Chapter 7 for applications).

    The jumpers for the process variable are located on the Microcontroller Circuit Board (see Figure 4.2). The factory default is Milliamp. Locations are marked as follows:

    V Voltage MA Milliamp TC ▼ Thermocouple with downscale burnout TC ▲ Thermocouple with upscale burnout RTD RTD

    NOTE: Thermocouple downscale and upscale burnout offers a choice in which direction the controller would react in the event of thermocouple failure. For example, in heat applications, typically, it is desirable to fail upscale (TC ▲) so that the system does not apply more heat.

    NOTE: Changing the jumpers means moving the jumper connector. The jumper connector slips over the pins, straddling two rows of pins. The printed circuit boards are labeled next to the jumpers.

    Page 34

    The Remote Setpoint Figure 4.2 shows the location of the remote setpoint jumper. The factory default is milliamp. Choose from the following settings:

    V Remote setpoint with voltage signal (jumper removed)

    mA Remote setpoint with milliamp signal (jumper installed) Mechanical Relays

    There are three output module sockets on the Power Supply Circuit Board, and one output module on the Option Board (see Figure 4.2). The mechanical relay on the Power Supply Board may be configured for either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). A jumper located next to each socket determines this configuration. All relay output are factory set to NO (normally open).

    Follow these instructions to change jumpers for the Process Variable, Remote Setpoint and Digital Inputs: Equipment needed: Needle-nose pliers (optional)

    Phillips screwdriver (#2) Wrist grounding strap

  • 1. With power off, loosen two front screws, and remove them.
  • 2. Side the chassis out of the case by pulling firmly on the bezel.
  • 3. Use Figure 4.2 to locate the jumper connector to change.
  • 4. Using the needle nose pliers (or fingers), pull straight up on the connector and remove it from its pins, as shown in Photo 2. Be careful not to bend the pins.
  • 5. Find the new location of the jumper connector (again, refer to Figure 3.2). Carefully place it over the pins, then press connector straight down. Make sure it is seated firmly on the pins.
  • 6. Make any other jumper changes as needed. To alter output modules 1, please refer to the next section, starting with Step #3.
  • 7. To reassemble the controller, properly orient the chassis with board opening on top. Align the circuit boards into the grooves on the top and bottom of the case. Press firmly on the front face assembly until the chassis is all the way into the case. If it is difficult to slide the chassis in all the way, make sure the screws have been removed (they can block proper alignment), and that the chassis is properly oriented.

  • 9. Replace tie wraps forall the modules (the Retention Plate and Output Module 4) with new ones before reassembling the controller. Failure to use the tie wraps may result in loosening of the module and eventual failure. All separately ordered modules should come with a tie wrap. Extra sets of tie wraps are available by ordering Part #545-665. NOTE: For greatest accuracy, calibrate all milliamp modules added for retransmission as per the instructions in Appendix 2.
  • 10.Rejoin the circuit boards by aligning the pins of their connectors, then squeezing the board(s) together. Make sure that all three printed circuit boards are properly seated against one another; check along side edges for gaps. Make sure the cable assemblies are not pinched.
  • 11.To reattach the board assembly to the front face assembly, align the boards (with the open area on top) into the slots of the font face assembly. The clips should snap into place.
  • 12.To reassemble the controller, properly orient the chassis with board opening on top. Align the circuit boards into the grooves on the top and bottom of the case. Press firmly on the front face assembly until the chassis is all the way into the case.

    ########## MENUS

    InSETUPmode, there are 12 sets of options that control different aspects of 545 operation; in TUNING mode, there is one. Each set of options is called a menu. When traversing the two modes, the menu names appear in the 2nd display.

    Most of the menus are loop dependent, that is, each loop has its own set of parameters for that menu. Three of the menus are global, that is, one set of parameters applies to both loops.

Use the MENU key to access parameters for a particular menu; the parameter name will replace the menu name in the 2nd display, and the parameter value will show in the 3rd display.

    This chapter outlinesallthe available parameters for the 545. Some parameters are independent of any special configuration, and others are dependent on the individual configuration. This manual displays these two types of parameters differently; refer to Figure 5.2. A special feature of the 545, called Smart Menus, determines the correct parameters to display for the specific configuration, so not all the listed parameters will appear.

    ###### CHAPTER 6 TUNING

    ########### OVERVIEW

    Page 68

    The self tune function of the 545 consists of two distinct components — Pretune and Adaptive Tune. In addition, you may choose from three type of Pretune:

  • TYPE 1 - for slow thermal processes.
  • TYPE 2 - for fast fluid or pressure processes.
  • TYPE 3 - for level control applications.
  • • Choose the type of Pretune in the SELF TUNE menu.
  • • Pretune and Adaptive Tune may be used separately or together. Refer to Chapter 7 for more information.
  • • Each control loop has its own set of TUNING parameters. On the following pages is the step by step guide to the tuning parameters.
  • NOTE: For more information about Pretune and Adaptive Tune, refer to section on Tuning applications in Chapter 7.

    NOTE: Loop 1 is in the foreground upon power up. When Loop 2 is in the foreground, both the PV2 icon and DISPLAY key will be lit.

    Change the HI LIMIT and LOW LIMIT, or the HIGH OUT and LOW OUT, and run PRETUNE again. Change the HI LIMIT and LOW LIMIT, or the OUT.STEP size, and run PRETUNE again. Change the manual output percentage, or the HI LIMIT and LOW LIMIT, and run PRETUNE again. Set a longer TIMEOUT period and/or increase the OUT.STEP size, and run PRETUNE again. Eliminate the noise source (if possible) or increase the OUT.STEP and run PRETUNE again. Check the described conditions and make corrections or repairs.

    Change the manual output percent and run PRETUNE again.

    Increase the OUT.STEP size and run PRETUNE again. Increase the OUT.STEP size and run PRETUNE again. Move Tune PT. (or the set point if TUNE PT. is automatic) farther from the process variable and run PRETUNE again. Check if any PID values are generated and if they are acceptable. If not, eliminate noise sources (if possible) and run PRETUNE again.

    If Pretune and Adaptive Tune do not generate optimal PID values for control, check the following menu entries:

  • ########### A. CONTROL TYPE

    Each of the control loops in the 545 can be independently configured.

    ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to the CONTROL menu.
  • 2. For the parameter ALGORITHM, select the type of 545 control:
  • • ON-OFF “Crude” control similar to a household thermostat. Used primarily
  • on slow, stable processes where moderate deviation (cycling) around setpoint is tolerable. Only available with SSR, SSR Drive, and relay outputs.

  • •P Proportional only control. Provides much better control than on/off. Used on processes that are less stable or require tighter control, but have few load variations and do not require a wide range of setpoints.
  • •PI Proportional plus integral control. In addition to proportional control, it compensates for control errors due to a wide range of setpoints or load requirements. The integral term works to eliminate offsets.
  • •PD Proportional plus derivative control. In addition to proportional control, it compensates for control errors due to fast load variations.
  • •PID Proportional plus integral plus derivative control. In addition to proportional control, it compensates for changes in setpoint, load requirements and process variations.
  • • PID/ON-OFF Only available with Duplex control. First output uses the PID algorithm, while second output uses on/off control.
  • For algorithms using the derivative function (D), choose the conditions for the derivative term: Scroll to parameter D. SOURCE
  • • For derivative action based on error, or deviation from setpoint, choose DEVIATION
  • • For derivative action based on PV changes, choose PV.
  • NOTE: The ability to base alarms on parameters other than PV greatly expands the alarm capacity.

    ########### B. ALARMS

    Each loop of the 545 controller has two extremely flexible and powerful software alarms (4 alarms total). The number of available outputs limits how alarms are linked to relays. A Global Alarm feature allows all alarms to be assigned to the same relay.

    ################################## The 545 indicates an alarm condition(s) for the foreground loop by:

  • • Lit icons ALM 1 and/or ALM 2
  • • Lit ACK key
  • • Displayed alarm message The 545 indicates an alarm condition(s) for the background loop by:
  • • Showing the (user defined) message for one or both alarms in the third display (alternate displays for simultaneous alarms).
  • ########### Software Configuration

    Page 78

  • 1. Access the ALARM menu.
  • 2. Set values for the following parameters. All possible values are shown. Remember: there are 2 alarms for each loop (useFAST+DISPLAYto switch loops).
  • ################################## ALM.TYPE:1and ALM. TYPE:2

    Specifies the type of alarm to implement. Selection includes:

  • • HIGH ALARM High process variable alarm. Occurs when the process variable exceeds the alarm setpoint.
  • • LOW ALARM Low process variable alarm. Occurs when the process variable goes below the alarm setpoint.
  • • HIGH/LOW Combination of high and low alarms. Occurs when the PV exceeds the individually set high or low setpoint.
  • • BAND Creates a band centered around the control setpoint, that is twice the alarm setpoint. Alarm occurs when the process variable travels outside of this band. The alarm is dependent on the control setpoint. As the control setpoint changes, the band adjusts accordingly. For example, if the control setpoint is 500 and the alarm setpoint is 25, then the band extends from 475 to 525.
  • • DEVIATION Similar to the band alarm but creates a band only on one side of the control setpoint. Alarm occurs when the process variable deviates from the control setpoint by an amount greater than the alarm setpoint. This alarm is dependent on the control setpoint; as the control
  • setpoint changes, the alarm point changes.

    For example, if the control setpoint is 500 and the alarm setpoint is +50, then an alarm occurs when the process variable exceeds 550. In order for an alarm to occur when the process variable drops below 450, select an alarm setpoint of –50.

  • • MANUAL Alarm occurs when the controller is put into manual mode of operation. This may be useful for security purposes or to alert the operator that 545 is no longer under automatic control.
  • • RATE Alarm occurs when the process variable changes at a rate greater than what is specified by the alarm setpoint and time base. This alarm helps to anticipate problems before the process variable can reach an undesirable level. For example, if the alarm setpoint is 10 with a time base of 5 seconds, an alarm occurs whenever a change in process variable greater than 10 occurs in 5 seconds.
  • ALM.SRC.:1 and ALM.SRC.:2 For HIGH , LOW or HIGH/LOW alarms, specifies the variable (source) upon which a selected alarm is based. Selection includes:

  • •PV
  • • PV2
  • •SP
  • • RAMP SP
  • • DEVIATION
  • • OUTPUT
  • ################################## ALARM SP:1 and ALARM SP:2

    Defines the point at which an alarm occurs. For a RATE (rate of change) alarm, it specifies the amount of change (per RATE TIME period) that must occur before the alarm activates. A negative value specifies a negative rate-of-change. Does not apply to HIGH/LOW alarms.

    HIGH SP:1 and HIGH SP:2 For a HIGH/LOW alarm, defines the high setpoint at which an alarm occurs.

    LOW SP:1 and LOW SP:2 For a HIGH/LOW alarm, defines the low setpoint at which an alarm occurs.

    ################################## DEADBAND:1 and DEADBAND:2

    Specifies the range through which the process variable must travel before leaving an alarm condition (see alarm examples at the end of this section). Prevents frequent alarm oscillation or “chattering” if the process variable has stabilized around the alarm point.

    ################################## ALM.1 OUT and ALM.2 OUT

    Page 79

    For any enabled alarm, selects the output number to which the selected alarm will be assigned. It is possible to assign both alarms to the same output relay, thus creating a “global” alarm .

    NOTE: Each of the two loops has two alarms.| |---|

    ################################## LATCHING:1 and LATCHING:2

    A latching (YES) alarm will remain active after leaving the alarm condition unless it is acknowledged. A non-latching (NO) alarm will return to the non-alarm state when leaving the alarm condition without being acknowledged.

    ################################## ACK.:1 and ACK.:2

    For any enabled alarm, enables or disables operator use of theACKkey to acknowledge an alarm at any time, even if the control process is still in the alarm condition.

    A latching alarm can always be acknowledged when it is out of the alarm condition. When either alarm is available to be acknowledged, theACK key will be illuminated. If both alarms are acknowledgeable, pressingACK will first acknowledge alarm #1. PressingACKa second time will acknowledge alarm #2.

    ################################## POWER UP:1 and POWER UP:2

    For any enabled alarm, selects the alarm condition upon power up. Choices are:

  • • NORMAL Controller will power up in alarm only if it is in alarm condition.
  • • ALARM: Controller always powers up in alarm regardless of system’s alarm condition. This is an excellent way to activate an alarm if there has been a power failure.
  • • DELAYED Controller will never power up in alarm, regardless of system’s alarm condition. The system must leave and reenter the alarm condition before the alarm will activate. This is typically used to avoid alarms during start up.
  • ################################## MESSAGE:1 and MESSAGE:2

    Allows user to specify a nine-character message to be displayed when the respective alarm is active. If both alarms are active or any other diagnostic message is present, the messages will alternate.

    ################################## FAULT

    Activates an alarm if the process variable signal is lost. Assign this function to either Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 (not both). This action is in addition the selected alarm type (additive alarm function).

    ################################## OUTPUT

    For a RATE alarm, selects the output action. Use to obtain early indication of a possible break in the process variable signal. Select PV BREAK to have rate-of-change alarm take the same action as a detection of a break in the process variable signal (where it trips to manual control at a predetermined output).

    ################################## RATE TIME

    For RATE alarms, defines the time period over which a discrete change in process variable must occur for the rate alarm to be activated. The amount of change is defined by the alarm setpoint. The rate-of-change is defined as the amount of change divided by the time period.

    Example

  • A. If the alarm setpoint is set to 10 and the time base is set to 1 second, the rate of change is 10 units per second.
  • B. If the alarm setpoint is set to 100 and the time base set to 10, the rate of change is also 10 units per second.
  • In example A, the process variable would only have to experience a ten unit change over a short period of time, while in Example B, it would require a 100 unit change over a ten second period. Example A is much more sensitive than Example B. In general, for a given rateof-change, the shorter the time period, the more sensitive the rate alarm.

    NOTE:The duplex output states vary depending upon:

  • 1. Control Type (PID, On/Off, etc.)
  • 2. Control Action (DA, RA)
  • 3. Output Limits
  • 4. Output Gap or Overlay, and
  • 5. Output 2 Relative Gain and PID% Output.
  • Please refer to the output state examples in this section to confirm that the configuration is appropriate for the process.

    NOTE: Set manual reset/load line parameters to 50% when using Duplex control (MAN. RST.:X parameter is in the TUNING menu.)

    ########### C. DUPLEX CONTROL

    The Duplex control algorithm enables two discrete control outputs for the control loop. Duplex control is commonly used for applications that require both heating and cooling or when 2 control elements are needed to achieve the desired result.

    ########### Hardware Configuration

    • The controller must have two output modules assigned to the loop (any combination of output modules).

    Page 81

    ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to the CONFIG. menu. Set LOOP1 OUT or LOOP2 OUT. to DUPLEX.
  • 2. To use different algorithms for each output (PID for the first, and On/Off for the second): Go to the CONTROL menu. Set ALGORITHM to PID:ON/OFF.
  • 3. To make the control action for each output independent of the other: Go to the CONTROL menu. SetACTION:1orACTION:2to either DIRECT or REVERSE action based on the diagrams in the output examples section (Figures 7.2 through 7.8).
  • 4. Go to the TUNING menu. Set values for PID OFST:1 (or ON OFST:1) and PID OFST:2 (or ON OFST:2). These parameters allow the user to independently offset the point at which output 1 and output 2 become active. PID OFSET units are in percent (%) of control output; ON OFST is in engineering units. The settings can be used to make sure there is a dead band, i.e., no controller output around setpoint. They can also be used to overlap output 1 and output 2 so that both are “on” in a small band around setpoint.
  • 5. Set MAN. RESET(manual reset) term to 50%. This causes the PID output to be 50% when there is zero error. This term is still active as a “load line” setting when using automatic reset (integral), so set it to 50% whether using automatic reset or not.
  • 6. REL. GAIN(relative gain) changes the gain of Output 2 relative to Output 1. Note that the relative gain can limit the maximum output available for Output 2 when using PID control.
  • 7. Go to the CONTROL menu. Set LOW OUT. and HIGH OUT.to limit the maximum or minimum outputs from Output 1 and Output 2. The actual limitation on the outputs is dependent on the offset settings, the relative gain setting and the control action.
  • ########### Duplex Output State Examples

    The following Duplex examples represent a variety of ways this function can be set up. PID control examples show the PID output percentage on the horizontal axis, and On/Off control examples show the process variable on the horizontal axis. The vertical axes are the output of each physical output. Most of these examples use the first output as heating and the second output as cooling.

    When using PID control, the 545 controller actually displays the PID output. To relate this output to the actual physical output, locate the PID output on the horizontal axis. Draw a vertical line at that point. At the intersection of this vertical

    line and the respective output line, draw a horizontal line. The physical output is the value where this horizontal line intersects the respective axis. The illustrations assume a manual reset/load line term of 50%. Therefore, at zero error (process variable equals setpoint) the PID output is 50%. Duplex with reverse and direct acting outputs

    This combination of offsets results in an overlap where both outputs are active simultaneously when the PID output is around 50%.

    The output limits are applied directly to the PID output. This in turn limits the actual output values. In this example, the high output maximum limits the maximum value for output 1, while the low output minimum limits the maximum value for output 2. The value the actual outputs are limited to depends on offset settings, control action and relative gain setting with PID control.

    ########### D. SLIDEWIRE POSITION PROPORTIONING CONTROL

    Slidewire position proportioning utilizes a slidewire feedback signal to determine the actual position of the actuator being controlled. This option is only available for one of the two control loops.

    ########### Hardware Configuration

  • • The controller must have the Slidewire Feedback option installed. Refer to the order code in Chapter 1 for more information.
  • • The controller must have mechanical relays, solid state relays or DC logic modules installed in the two output sockets corresponding to one control loop (1 or 2).
  • • The Slidewire does NOT have to be wired to the controller in order to set up position proportioning.
  • ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. To configure the controller before wiring the slidewire feedback signal to the controller, complete these steps:
  • a. Go to the CONTROL menu.
  • b. Set a value for PV BREAK
  • c. Go to the SPECIAL menu.
  • d. Set a value for DES. OUTPT.
  • e. Set a value for PWR.UP:OUT.
  • f. Go to SER. COMM. menu.
  • g. Set a value for SHED OUT.
  • 2. Place the controller under manual control.
  • 3. Go to the CONFIG. menu.
  • 4. Set either LOOP1 OUT or LOOP2 OUT to POS. PROP (position proportioning).
  • 5. Set SLIDEWIRE to LOOP1 or LOOP2.
  • 6. Go to the CONTROL menu.
  • 7. For S/W RANGE, specify the full range resistance of the slidewire from endto-end. With a 100 ohm slidewire, this parameter should be set to 100.
  • 8. Scroll to OPEN F/B (Open feedback). Enter the ohm value when the actuator is fully open (0 to 1050 ohms).
  • Page 85

  • 9. Scroll to CLOSE F/B (Closed feedback). Enter the ohm value when the actuator is fully closed (0 to 1050 ohms).
  • 10. Measure the actual slidewire value at the terminals (10 and 11). As an alternative, set up these two parameters dynamically. Before entering Set Up set the manual output at 100%. Enter Set Up and change the OPEN F/B value until the actuator just reaches its full open position. Exit Set Up and set the manual output to 0%. Enter configuration and change the CLOSE F/B value until the actuator just reaches its full closed position.
  • 11. Set the parameter P. PROP. D.B., which is used to eliminate cycling of the motor. A low deadband setting may result in motor overspin or cycling. A high deadband will result in reduction of sensitivity. To set:
  • a. Go to the TUNING menu.
  • b. Set P. PROP. D.B. to .5%.
  • c. Place controller under Manual control.
  • CAUTION! The relay in socket 1 drives the motor counterclockwise and the relay in output socket 2 drives the motor clockwise. This is important for:

  • • Wiring the outputs
  • • Selecting the control ACTION:1 parameter, or
  • • Determining the normally open or normally closed relays.
  • The configuration choices influence the way the position proportioning algorithm works.

    NOTE: OPEN F/B and CLOSE F/B values are always reference to the CCW end of the Slidewire.

    NOTE: P.PROP.D.B. can only be configured if the Slidewire Feedback is wired to the controller.

  • d. Change the output percentage and observe if the valve stabilizes at the new value.
  • e. If the valve oscillates, increase the P.PROP.D.B. value by 0.5%; repeat until oscillation stops.
  • NOTE: Adaptive tuning is not available with velocity position proportioning control.

    ########### E. VELOCITY POSITION PROPORTIONING CONTROL

    Velocity position proportioning does not utilize direct feedback. It estimates the position of the actuator, based on time and the speed of the actuator.

    In automatic control mode, the controller will display “CW” to refer to energizing of the clockwise relay, and “CCW” to refer to energizing of the counterclockwise relay. A blank display means that both relays are de-energized.

    In manual control mode, the display is blank unless an output change is being made. Use the▲▲▲ and▼▼▼ keys to change the output; the relay is only energized while the keys are being pressed. The display indicates the percentage change in valve position in real time. The rate of change is dependent on the values entered for CCW TIME and CW TIME.

    The controller will transfer to manual control due to a lost process variable (PV. BREAK), a digital input closure (DES.OUTPT.), a power-up sequence (PWR.UP:OUT.), or lost communications (SHED OUT). In these cases, the output can be set to: remain at its last value with both relays de-energized (OUTS OFF); rotate fully counterclockwise (CCW); or rotate fully clockwise (CW). CCW and CW will energize the respective relay for a period two times that of theCCW TIME or CW TIME.

    ########### Hardware Configuration

    • The controller must have mechanical relay, solid state relay or DC logic

    modules installed in the first two output sockets. Refer to the section on Chapter 1 for more information.

    ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to CONFIG. menu. Set LOOP1 OUT or LOOP2 OUT to POS. PROP.
  • Page 86

  • 2. Go to the CONTROL menu. Set SLIDEWIRE to NONE. Alternatively, set SLIDEWIRE to LOOP1 or LOOP2, whichever does NOT have velocity position proporioning on it.
  • 3. Set CCW TIME to the amount of time (in seconds) it takes for the actuator to fully rotate in the counterclockwise direction. Set CW TIME to the amount of time (in seconds) it takes for the actuator to fully rotate in the clockwise direction. Loads on the valve may affect the time required, therefore, it is best to measure these values when the valve is in service. As an alternative, enter the values specified by the actuator manufacturer and then make adjustments later.
  • 4. Set MIN. TIME to the minimum amount of time the controller must specify for the motor to be on before it takes any action.
  • 5. Set values forPV. BREAK, DES. OUTPT., PWR.UP:OUT.andSHED OUT.
  • ########### F. STAGED OUTPUTS

    With staged outputs, one analog output can vary its signal (e.g., 4-20 mA) over a portion of the PID output range. The second analog output then varies its signal over another portion of the PID output range. This is an excellent method to stage two control valves or two pumps using standard control signal ranges.

    • There must be an analog module installed in output socket 2, 3 or 4.

    Software Configuration Up to two outputs can be configured for retransmission. The menu will scroll through the configuration parameters for specified value “X” (2, 3 or 4).

  • 1. Go to the CONFIG. menu.
  • 2. For OUTPUT:2, OUTPUT:3andOUTPUT:4parameters, set one or two of them to RETRANS.
  • 3. Go to the RETRANS. menu.
  • 4. Set the corresponding parameter, TYPE:X, for the first retransmission output to define what is being transmitted: the process variable, setpoint, ramping setpoint or output.
  • NOTE: For an analog output module for retransmission that was not factoryinstalled, calibrate the output for maximum accuracy. Refer to Appendix 4 for details on calibration.

  • 5. Set parameters LOW RANGE:X and HIGH RANGE:X for the first retransmission output, to define the range of the transmitted signal in engineering units. This can be useful in matching the input range of the receiving device.
  • 6. For any other retransmission output, continue to scroll through the this menu and set the TYPE:X, LOW RANGE:X and HIGH RANGE:X for the second retransmission output.
  • NOTE: To take advantage of multiple setpoints, make sure that the SP NUMBER parameter in the SPECIAL menu is set to a value greater than 1.

    ########### H. DIGITAL INPUTS

    Digital inputs can be activated in three ways: A switch (signal type)—the recommended type, a relay, or and open collector transistor

    Digital inputs are only functional when that option is installed (via hardware). The controller detects the hardware type, and supplies the appropriate software menus (see the section on parameters in Chapter 5). There are 14 contact types for the five digital inputs.

    ########### Hardware Configuration

  • ########### Basic Operating Procedures

    Page 89

  • 1. If more than one digital input closes and their actions conflict, the last digital input that closed has priority.
  • For example, if one digital input closes and selects 2nd setpoint, and then another digital input closes and selects a remote setpoint, the remote setpoint takes precedence.

  • 2. Any digital input can be overridden by: another digital input, a keyboard operation, or an automatic function. If a closed digital input is overridden, then it must be opened in order to be rearmed.
  • For example, if one digital input closes and selects the 2nd setpoint, and then a different setpoint is selected through the keyboard, the keyboard selection takes precedence.

    NOTE: There is a one-second delay before a closed digital input takes action.

    ########### I. REMOTE SETPOINT

    The Remote Setpoint can be assigned to Loop 1, Loop 2, or both. Remote setpoint limits are the same as setpoint limits.

    Hardware Configuration

  • • This optional feature is available only if ordered originally from the factory, Product #545-xxxxxBxx00 or #545-xxxxxExx00). Refer to the order code in Chapter 1.
  • • Before configuring the software, make sure the corresponding jumper is set properly. Refer to Chapter 4 to check or change jumper positions.
  • Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to the REM. SETPT. menu.
  • 2. Set TYPE V/mA to define the input signal range (e.g. 4-20mA).
  • 3. RSP:LO. RNG. and RSP: HI RNG.define the range of the remote setpoint in engineering units. The correct range will be dependent on the source of the remote setpoint signal.
  • 4. RSP:LOW and RSP:HIGH set limits on the remote setpoint value in engineering units.
  • 5. TRACKING determines whether or not the controller will revert to a local setpoint if the remote setpoint signal is lost. This prevents a process upset due to a sudden change in setpoint.
  • 6. BIAS LOW and BIAS HIGH set limits on an operator entered bias value.
  • 7. RSP FIXEDdetermines the signal to which the controller will revert when a lost RSP is restored (fixed). Options are to stay in local or automatically return to remote setpoint.
  • 8. To bias or ratio the remote setpoint value:
  • a. Go to the TUNING menu.
  • b. Set RSP BIAS and RSP RATIO values.
  • Basic Operating Procedures

    After configuring the hardware and software, select the remote input by:

  • • pressing the SET PT key until RSP shows in the display
  • • using a digital input
  • ########### J. MULTIPLE SETPOINTS

    Page 90

    The 545 can store up to eight local setpoints and use a remote setpoint. One application of this feature is configuring the controller to restrict operators to discrete setpoint choices. The 545 can also store multiple sets of PID parameters (see next section).

    ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to the SPECIAL menu.
  • 2. Set NO. OF SP to the number of local setpoints desired.
  • 3. Use the SET PT key to scroll to each local setpoint and set it to the desired value with the ▲ or ▼ keys.
  • 4. To link the PID sets to the corresponding local setpoint: Go to the TUNING menu.
  • Set NO. OF PID to SP NUMBER. For details on multiple sets of PID, refer to the next section in this chapter.

    ########### Basic Operating Procedures

    To select a set point, toggle theSET PTkey to scroll through the setpoints. The displayed setpoint becomes active after two second of key inactivity.

    The digital inputs can also be used to select the active setpoints. A single digital input may be used for selecting the seconds setpoint, SP2. A set of two digital inputs per loop may be used, to select up to 4 setpoints per loop (see the section in this Chapter in Digital Inputs).

    The SET PT key is lit when a setpoint other than the primary local setpoint is active.

    ########### K. MULTIPLE SETS OF PID VALUES

    The 545 has the ability to store up to eight sets of PID values. This can be a valuable feature for operating the controller under conditions which require different tuning parameters for optimal control. There are various methods of selecting which set should be active. These methods are explained in this section.

    ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to the TUNING menu.
  • 2. NO.OF PID is the desired number of PID sets to be stored. SP NUMBER automatically sets this value equal to the number of stored local setpoints (each PID set will be active when its respective local setpoint is active).
  • 3. PID TRIP determines which variable selects the various PID sets: process variable, setpoint or deviation from setpoint.
  • 4. TRIP:X defines the point (in the PV range) at which that set of PID values become active.
  • ########### Basic Operating Procedures

    A PID set can be selected in one of four ways.

  • • For NO. OF PID = SP NUMBER, the active set of PID values is the same as the active setpoint. For example, if SP3 is active, then PID set #3 will be active.
  • • When using PID trip values, a PID set becomes active when the variable exceeds its trip point. For example, ifPID TRIP= SETPOINT, andTRIP:2= 500, the second set of PID values becomes active when the setpoint exceeds 500, and remains active until the setpoint drops below 500 or exceeds the next highest trip point. The PID set with the lowest trip point is also active when the trip variable is less than the trip value. (The user can set the lowest trip point
  • = the low end of the process variable range, but this is not required.)

  • • A digital input can be set to trip to the second set of PID upon closure, which overrides a selection based on trip points.
  • ########### Using with Adaptive and Pretune

    The 545 can be programmed to automatically set the PID values using the Pretune and Adaptive Tuning functions. For both functions, the tuned set of PID is that which is active upon initiation of the tuning function.

    Page 91

    The controller cannot trip to other PID sets (based on trip point or the digital input

    contact) until Adaptive Tuning is disabled. However, if the PID set is tied to the corresponding local setpoint, the active PID set values will change with the local setpoint.

    Each PID set has 5 parameters that control its function—proportional band, reset, rate, manual reset (or loadline), and trip point. For each set (2 thru 8), these values have to be manually set.

  • 1. Press MENU to access the TUNING menu.
  • 2. Set values for parameters 1 thru 20 (these include the first PID set)
  • 3. Press MENU to access these parameters for each additional PID set (2 through 8): PROP. BND, RESET, RATE, MAN. RST. and TRIP.
  • ########### L. POWERBACK

    POWERBACK is Moore Industries’ proprietary algorithm which, when invoked by the user, reduces or eliminates setpoint overshoot at power up or after setpoint changes. Powerback monitors the process variable to make predictive adjustments to control parameters, which in turn helps to eliminate overshoot of the Setpoint.

    ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to the TUNING menu.
  • 2. Set POWR.BACK parameter to ENABLED.
  • 3. Go to the SELF TUNE menu.
  • 4. The DEAD TIME is the time between initiation of an input change and the start of an observable response in the process variable. Pretune will automatically calculate a value for this parameter. However, if Pretune is not run, or results are poor, value choices are:
  • R 10 to 3200 seconds D 7200 seconds

    ########### M. SELF TUNE—POWERTUNE®

    The Self Tune function of the 545 consists of two distinct components, Pretune and Adaptive Tune. These components may be used independently or in conjunction with one another. For best results, we recommend using them together.

    ########### Pretune

    This algorithm has three versions. Choose the type that most closely matches the process to optimize the calculation of the PID parameters. The three Pretune types are:

  • • TYPE 1 Normally used for slow thermal processes
  • • TYPE 2 Normally used for fast fluid or pressure processes
  • • TYPE 3 Normally used for level control applications
  • Pretune is an on-demand function. Upon initiation, there is a five second period during which the controller monitors the activity of the process variable. Then the control output is manipulated and the response of the process variable is monitored. From this information, the initial Proportional Band, Reset and Rate (P, I and D values) and Dead Time are calculated. When using TYPE 2 or TYPE 3 Pretune, the Noise Band (NOISE BND.) and Response Time (RESP. TIME) and DEAD TIME will also be calculated.

    In order to run this algorithm, the process must fulfill these requirements:

  • • The process must be stable with the output in the manual mode;
  • • For tuning a non-integrating process, the process must be able to reach a stabilization point after a manual step change; and
  • • The process should not be subject to load changes while Pretune operates.
  • If these conditions are not fulfilled, set the Adaptive Tune to run by itself.

    Page 92

    ########### Adaptive Tune

    Adaptive Tune continuously monitors the process and natural disturbances and makes adjustments in the tuning parameters to compensate for these changes. In order to make accurate calculations, Adaptive Tune needs noise band and response time values. Pretune TYPE 2 and TYPE 3 automatically calculate these values. These values may also be entered or changed manually in the SELF TUNEmenu. For Pretune TYPE 1, Noise Band, Response Time and Dead Time parameters must be entered manually.

    Figure 7.12 illustrates the relationship between Pretune and Adaptive Tune

    ########### Software Configurations Pretune by Itself

  • 1. Go to the SELF TUNE menu (press MENU+FAST)
  • 2. Set the TYPE parameter to PRETUNE.
  • 3. Set thePRETUNEtype to the one that best matches the process (see above section).
  • 4. The next parameter, TUNE PT., appears only for TYPE 1 pretune. This parameter sets the PV point at which the output will switch off. In thermal processes, this will help prevent overshoot. The default is AUTOMATIC.
  • 5. Set the value for OUT STEP.This parameter defines the size of bump to be used. The resulting disturbance must change the process variable by an amount that significantly exceeds the peak-to-peak process noise, but does not travel beyond the “normal” process variable range.
  • 6. The next two parameters,LOW LIMITandHI LIMIT, set the process variable boundaries. If these boundaries are exceeded during the Pretune, the pretune cycle will abort and return to manual control at the output level prior to the initiation of pretune.
  • 7. The next parameter,TIMEOUT, defines the maximum time in minutes within which pretune must complete its calculations before it is aborted. The first time a pretune is performed, set TIMEOUT to its maximum value. Make note of the length of the pretune cycle. Then, adjust TIMEOUT to a value about twice the pretune time. The purpose of this parameter is to prevent a Pretune cycle from continuing for an excessive period of time if a problem develops. The value hasno impact on the PID values being calculated.
  • 8. Next isMODE. This defines what mode the controller will enter when pretune is completed. Select MANUAL if there will be a need to review PID parameters before attempting to control with them; the default is AUTOMATIC.
  • 9. If POWERBACK algorithm is being utilized, set a value for DEAD TIME.
  • 10.Place the controller under manual control.
  • CAUTION! Disable Adaptive Tuning before altering process conditions (e.g., for shutdown, tank draining, etc.). Otherwise, the 545 will attempt to adapt the Tuning parameters to the temporary process conditions. Adaptive Tune can be disabled via digital input (if applicable—see Digital Inputs in this chapter), or via menus:

  • 1.Go to theTUNINGmenu.
  • 2.Go to parameterADAPTIVE. Change the value toDISABLED.
  • 11.Access the TUNING menu (press MENU). Set the first parameter, ADAPTIVE, to DISABLED.
  • 12.Activate the next parameter, PRETUNE.
  • 13.Press ACK to begin Pretuning. The 3rd display will show the message EXECUTING.
  • 14.When Pretune is complete, the 3rd display will show COMPLETED for two seconds and then return to the current menu display.
  • ############### Pretune TYPE 1 & Adaptive Tune

  • 1. Go to the SELF TUNE menu.
  • 2. Set TYPE to BOTH.
  • 3. Set PRETUNE to TYPE 1.
  • 4. Set a value for TUNE PT.
  • 5. Set NOISE BND parameter.
  • 6. Set the RESP. TIME parameter.
  • 7. Make sure that the process is reasonably stable and place the controller under manual control.
  • 8. Press MENU to access the TUNING menu. Set ADAPTIVE to ENABLED. The Adaptive Tuning cycle does not begin until the controller is under automatic control.
  • 9. Activate the next parameter, PRETUNE.
  • 10.Press ACK to begin Pretuning. The 3rd display will show the message EXECUTING.
  • 11.When Pretune is complete, the 3rd display will show COMPLETED for two seconds and then return to the current menu display.

  • 3. Set the PRETUNE parameter to TYPE 2 or TYPE 3.
  • 4. Set the value for OUTSTEP.
  • 5. DO NOT Enter values for NOISE BND, RESP TIME and DEAD TIME. The Pretune algorithm should calculate these values.
  • 6. Make sure that the process is reasonably stable and place the controller under manual control.

  • 2. Set the TYPE parameter to ADAPTIVE.
  • 3. PressMENUto access the TUNING menu.
  • 4. Set the ADAPTIVE parameter to ENABLED. The Adaptive Tuning cycle does not begin until the controller is under automatic control.
  • CAUTION! If the process conditions are temporarily changed, (e.g., during process shutdown, draining of a tank, etc.)disable adaptive tuning. Otherwise, the controller will attempt to adapt its tuning parameters to the temporary process conditions. Disable adaptive tuning by:

  • 1. In the TUNING menu, change ADAPTIVE to DISABLED through the keypad; or
  • 2. Closing the appropriate digital input (see Digital Input section in this chapter).

    ############################## Figure 7.13 Noise Band Calculation Example

    ############### Poor Pretune Results

    If Pretune results are poor, or process conditions do not allow Pretune to run, the POWERBACK and Adaptive Tune parameters can be manually configured. Proper setting of the noise band and response time parameters will yield excellent adaptive control without running the Pretune function.

  • 1. Go to the SELF TUNE menu.
  • 2. Set NOISE BND. The noise band is chosen to distinguish between disturbances which affect the process and process variable “noise.” The controller functions to compensate for disturbances (i.e., load changes), but it cannot compensate for process noise. Attempting to do this will result in degraded controller performance. The Noise Band is the distance the process deviates from the setpoint due to noise in percentage of full scale. Figure 7.13 shows a typical process variable response in a steady-state situation. In this example, the process noise is within a band of about 0.5% of full scale.

    A noise band that is too small will result in tuning parameter values based on noise rather than the effects of load (and setpoint) changes. If the noise band is set too small, then Adaptive Tune will attempt to retune the controller too often. This may result in the controller tuning cycling between desirable system tuning and overly sluggish tuning. While the result may be better than that achieved with a non-adaptive controller, this frequent retuning is not desirable.

    If the noise band is set too large, the process variable will remain within the noise band, and the controller will not retune itself. With too large a noise band, important disturbances will be ignored, and the controller will be indifferent to sluggish and oscillatory behavior.

    Noise band settings are generally between 0.1% and 1.0%, with most common settings of 0.2% or 0.3%. Figure 7.14 shows the conversion of peakto-peak noise to an appropriate noise band for each T/C type & RTD.

  • 3. Set RESP. TIME. The response time is the most critical value in Adaptive Tuning. Response time represents the time lag from a change in valve position (controller output) to a specific amount of change in process variable. Specifically, Response Time is equal to the Dead time of the process plus one Time Constant. The Dead time is the time between initiation of an input change and the start of an observable response in the process variable. The Time Constant is the interval of time between the start of that observable response and the point where the process variable reaches 63% of its final value. (See Figure 7.15). Example After a stimulus (e.g., valve movement), if it takes 300 seconds for a process to reach 63% of its new (expected) value, the response time is 300 seconds. If the response time is set too short, the process will be unstable and cycle around the setpoint. If the Response Time is set too long, response to an off-setpoint condition will be sluggish. It is generally better to use a response time that is too long rather than too short.
  • 4. Set DEAD TIME.
  • Self Tuning with Multiple Sets of PID For both Pretune and Adaptive Tune, the tuned set of PID is that which is active upon initiation of the tuning function.

    The controller cannot trip to other PID sets (based on trip point or the digital input contact) until Adaptive Tuning is disabled. However, if the PID set is tied to the corresponding local setpoint, the active PID set values will change with the local setpoint.

    Each PID set has 5 parameters that control its function—proportional band, reset, rate, manual reset (or loadline), and trip point. For each set (2 thru 8), these values have to be manually set.

    Page 98

  • 1. Press MENU to access the TUNING menu.
  • 2. Set values for parameters 1 thru 20 (these include the first PID set).
  • 3. Press MENU to access these parameters for each additional PID set (2 through 8): PROP. BND, RESET, RATE, MAN. RST. and TRIP.

    ############### Self Tune with Time Proportioning Outputs

    When using either the Pretune or the Adaptive Tune with a time proportioning output, use as short of a cycle time as possible within the constraint of maintaining a reasonable life on relays, contacts or heating elements.

    ############### Self Tune with Control Valves

    In many systems utilizing a control valve, the point at which the control valve begins to stroke does not coincide with 0% output, and the point at which it completes its stroke doesn’t coincide with 100%. The parameters LOW OUT andHIGH OUTin theCONTROLmenu specify the limits on the output. Set these limits to correspond with the starting and stopping point of the valve’s stroke. This prevents a form of “windup” and thus provides the adaptive control algorithm with the most accurate information.

    For example, in manual, the control output was slowly increased and it was noted that the control valve started to stroke at 18% and at 91% it completed its stroke. In this case LOW OUT should be set at 18% and HIGH OUT at 91%.

    Note that when output limits are used, the full output range from -5 to 105% is available in manual control.

    ############### Self Tune with Cascade Control

  • 1. To pretune Loop 2 with a Type 1 pretune, Loop 1 must be under manual control. Otherwise, the controller will display the error message PRETUNE LP1 AUTO.
  • 2. To pretune Loop 1, Loop 2 must be under Automatic Control. Otherwise the controller will display the error message PRETUNE L2 MANUAL.
  • ########### N. RAMP-TO-SETPOINT

    The 545 contains a ramp-to-setpoint function that may be used at the user’s discretion. This function is especially useful in processes where the rate-ofchange of the setpoint must be limited.

    When the ramping function is activated, the controller internally establishes a series of setpoints between the original setpoint and the new target setpoint. These interim setpoints are referred to as the actual setpoint . Either setpoint may be viewed by the user. When the setpoint is ramping, RAMPING will be shown in the 3rd display when the actual (ramping) setpoint is displayed.

    When the target setpoint is being shown, RAMPING will not appear. Pressing the DISPLAY key will scroll the 2nd display as follows:

  • • From the target setpoint to the actual (ramping) setpoint;
  • • To the deviation from setpoint;
  • • To the output level; and
  • • Back to the target setpoint. Note that when ramping, the deviation indication is with respect to the target setpoint. The ramp-to-setpoint function is triggered by one of three conditions:
  • Upon power up, if the 545 powers up in automatic control, then the setpoint will ramp from the process variable value to the setpoint value at the specified rate.
  • 2. On a transfer from manual to automatic control the setpoint will ramp from the process variable value to the setpoint value at the specified rate.
  • Page 99

  • 3. On any setpoint change, the setpoint will ramp from the current setpoint to the new target setpoint. When triggered, the display will automatically change to indicate the ramping setpoint.
  • ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to the PV INPUT menu.
  • 2. Set the SP RAMP parameter to the desired rate of change.
  • ########### O. INPUT LINEARIZATION Thermocouple and RTD Linearization

    For a thermocouple or RTD input, the incoming signal is automatically linearized. The 545 has lookup tables that it uses to provide an accurate reading of the temperature being sensed.

    ########### Square Root Linearization

    Many flow transmitters generate a nonlinear signal corresponding to the flow being measured. To linearize this signal for use by the 545, the square root of the signal must be calculated. The 545 has the capability to perform this square root linearization.

    For the first 1% of the input span, the input is treated in a linear fashion. Then it is a calculated value, using the formula in Figure 7.16.

    ########### PV = Low Range + [(Hi Range – Low Range) (V input- Vlow/ (Vhigh – V low)]

    Hi Range is the high end of the process variable. Low Range is the low end of the process variable. V input is the actual voltage or current value of the input. V high is the high end of the input signal range (e.g. 5 volts or 20 mA). V low is the low end of the input signal range (e.g. 1 volt or 4 mA).

    Example: PV range is 0 – 1000. Input signal range is 1–5 volts. Input signal is 3 volts.

    Therefore PV = 0 + [ (1000 – 0) (3-1) / (5–1) ] = 1000 .5 =707

    ########### Custom Linearization

    Custom linearization allows virtually any nonlinear signal to be linearized using a 15-point straight line approximation curve (see Figure 7.17). Typical applications are linearizing signals from nonlinear transducers, or controlling volume based on level readings for irregularly-shaped vessels. To define the function, enter data point pairs—the engineering units corresponding to a particular voltage or current input.

  • 4. Enter values for the 1ST INPUT and 1ST PV data points. All the input parameters define the actual milliamp or voltage input. All the PV parameters define the corresponding process variable value in engineering units.
  • It is not necessary to use all 15 points. Whenever the XTH INPUT becomes the high end of the input range, that will be the last point in the table.

    Once the various points are defined, the values between the points are interpolated using a straight line relationship between the points. The only limitation is that the resulting linearization curve must be either ever-increasing or ever-decreasing.

    ########### P. LOAD LINE

    Load line is a manual reset superimposed on the automatic reset action. Adjusting the MAN. RST. tuning constant shifts the controller proportional band with respect to the setpoint.

    When used with a proportional only or proportional/derivative control algorithm, the MAN. RST. parameter (located in the TUNING menu) is in effect “manual reset”.

    However, when the automatic reset term is present, the reset action gradually shifts the proportional band to eliminate offset between the setpoint and the process. In this case, load line provides an initial shift at which the reset action begins. Load line is adjusted by observing the percent output required to control the process and then adjusting the load line to that value. This minimizes the effect of momentary power outages and transients. Load line may also be

    adjusted to give the best response when bringing the load to the desired level from a “cold” start.

    ########### Q. SECURITY

    The 545 security system is easily customized to fit a system’s needs.

    ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to theSECURITYmenu.
  • 2. SEC. CODEdefines the security password (range from -9999 to 99999). The rest of the security parameters can be selectively locked out.
  • 3. SP ADJUSTprevents the operator from using the▲▲▲ and▼▼▼keys to change the setpoint value. It does not prevent the operator from changing setpoints via the SET PT key.
  • 4. AUTO./MAN. locks out the MANUAL key, preventing the operator from transferring between automatic control and manual control.
  • 5. SP SELECT locks out the SET PT key. This prevents the operator from changing among the various local setpoints or changing to remote setpoint. It does not prevent the operator from changing the setpoint value via the ▲ and ▼ keys.
  • 6. ALARM ACK. locks out the ACK key, preventing an operator from acknowledging any alarms.
  • 7. TUNING locks out modification to the parameters in the TUNING menu, preventing unauthorized changes to the tuning parameters or the activation/ deactivation of the self tuning algorithm.
  • 8. CONFIGURE allows access to the configuration menus, but prevents any unauthorized changes to the configuration parameters. If locked out, the security code is not accessible.
  • NOTE: SEC CODE does not appear unless all functions are unlocked.

    NOTE: Lock outCONFIGURE for full security. If left unlocked, the operator will have access to the security code.

    NOTE: The security function is compromised if the security code is left at zero (0).

    NOTE: Security does not prevent the operation from the digital inputs or serial communications.

    ########### Basic Operating Procedures

    The security feature can be overridden. When a locked function is attempted, the operator will have the opportunity to enter the security code.If the correct security code is entered, the operator has full access. The security feature is reactivated after one minute of keypad inactivity. If the security code is forgotten, the security feature can still be overridden.

    • The security override code is 62647 .

    Store this number in a secure place and blacken out the code in this manual to limit access.

    ########### R. RESET INHIBITION

    Reset Inhibition is useful in some systems either at the start-up of a process or when a sustained offset of process variable from setpoint exists. In conditions like these, the continuous error signal may cause the process temperature to greatly overshoot setpoint. Any of the digital inputs may be set up so that the contact closure disables the reset action (sets it to zero).

    Software Configuration

  • 1. Go to the CONFIG. menu.
  • 2. Set corresponding parameter(s) CONTACT:1 to CONTACT:5 to RST. INHBT.
  • NOTE: PV GAIN is only available if using a linear voltage or current input.

    Page 102

    ########### S. PROCESS VARIABLE READING CORRECTION

    Conditions extraneous to the controller—an aging thermocouple, out of calibration transmitter, lead wire resistance, etc.—can cause the display to indicate a value other than the actual process value. The PV OFFSET and PV GAINparameters can be used to compensate for these extraneous conditions. NOTE: This feature is provided as a convenience only. Correcting the cause of the erroneous reading is recommended.

  • 1. Go to the PV INPUT menu.
  • 2. Set PV OFFSET. This parameter either adds or subtracts a set value from the process variable reading in engineering units. For example, if the thermocouple was always reading 3° too high, the parameter could be set to “– 3” to compensate.
  • 3. Set PV GAIN. This multiplies the deviation from the low end of the process variable range by the gain factor and then adds it to the value of the low end of the range to arrive at the adjusted process variable value. For example, if the process variable range is 50 to 650 and the process variable reading is 472, aPV GAINof .995 would yield an adjusted process variable equal to [(472 – 50) x .995] + 50 = 470.
  • With a combination of both offset and gain factors, just about any inaccuracy in the sensor or transmitter can be compensated.

    ########### T. SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS

    The serial communications option enables the 545 to communicate with a supervisory device, such as a personal computer or programmable logic controller.

    The communications standard utilized is RS-485 which provides a multi-drop system that communicates at a high rate over long distances. Typical limitations are 32 instruments per pair of wires over a distance up to 4000 feet.

    The 545 uses a proprietary protocol which provides an extremely fast and accurate response to any command. Cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) virtually ensures the integrity of any data read by the 545. Through communications, there is access to every Set up, Tuning and Operating parameter. For details on 545 protocol, contact a Moore Industries’ application engineer.

    ########### Hardware Configuration

    • This optional features is only available if ordered originally from the factory. The circuitry for communications is contained on a modular circuit board that plugs into the Microcontroller Circuit Board, Refer to the order code in Chapter 1 for details.

    ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. Access the SER. COMM. menu.
  • 2. STATIONspecifies the unit’s station address. It is the only way one 545 can be distinguished from another. Each 545 on the same RS-485 interface must have a unique station address.
  • 3. Choose a BAUD RATE from 1200 to 19,200. In general, select the highest value. However, every instrument on the RS-485 interface must be set to the same baud rate.
  • 4. CRCindicates the cyclic redundancy checking feature. If the host supports it, activating this option is recommended.
  • 5. When the 545 senses that communications is lost, it can go to a predetermined state (called “shedding”). The SHED TIME parameter sets the length of time that communications can be interrupted before the controller sheds. Since the 545 is a stand-alone controller, it does not depend on communications to operate. Therefore, if the “shed” feature is not needed, set it to OFF.
  • 6. SHED MODEdesignates the mode to which the controller goes after it shes. Setting this to MANUAL brings up the following parameters.
  • 7. UseSHED OUTto specify an output level if the unit sheds and trips to manual control.
  • 8. To specify a control setpoint (in case the host is supervising the setpoint) if the 545 sheds, set SHED SP to DESIG. SP and then, set the parameter DESIG. SP to the desired setpoint.
  • ########### U. CASCADE CONTROL

    In Cascade control, the output of one control loop (outside loop) becomes the remote setpoint of a second control loop (inside). The 545 performs this cascade control in a single instrument. The Cascade strategy enables better control of processes with significant lag times by breaking the process into two faster responding loops.

    Cascade Control is typically used for the following:

  • • A slow responding process with a significant lag time
  • • A process requiring more advanced or tighter control
  • • A process where two PID control loops need to interact to achieve optimum control. Cascade Control is commonly implemented in temperature control applications where the main control variable is affected by another variable, i.e., pressure (see Figure 7.19).
  • When the 545 is configured for Cascade, Loop 1 is automatically the primary or outer feedback Loop and Loop 2 is the secondary or inner feedback loop. Loop 1 will not have a physical output, but rather the PID algorithm output is internally fed to Loop 2 as its Setpoint. Loop 2’s output comes out of Output 1. Should Loop 2 require two outputs, (e.g. duplex, staged) the second output would come out of Output 2.

  • For Loop 2 a. InPV INPUTmenu, setSP LO LIM. andSP HI LIM. to the portion of range
  • of Loop 2 setpoint over which you want control. Example

    Your Loop 2 range is 0 to 1000; you want its setpoint span to be 100 to 500. Remember that the setpoint span of Loop 2 is driven by the PID output of Loop 1 (the outside loop). Therefore you set SP LO LIM at 200 and SP HI LIM at 800. With these parameters, whenever Loop 1 output is 0%, the Loop 2 SP is 200.

    ################################## TUNING TIP

  • 1.To pretune Loop 2 with a Type 1 pretune, Loop 1 must be under manual control. Otherwise, the controller will display the error message PRETUNE LP1 AUTO.
  • 2.To pretune Loop 1, Loop 2 must be under Automatic Control. Otherwise the controller will display the error message PRETUNE L2 MANUAL.
  • Similarly, whenever Loop 1 output is 100%, then Loop 2 SP is at 800. All the intermediate values follow a linear curve, as shown in Figure 7.21.

    ########### Tuning Cascade Control

  • 1. Set the secondary, or inner loop, into Manual, and perform a Pretune on this loop. Once the Pretune is completed, the inner loop must be in Automatic mode.
  • 2. Place the primary, or outer loop, into Manual and perform a Pretune on this loop.
  • 3. Once Pretune is complete, the Cascade Control Loop is completely tuned, and placing the primary loop into Automatic will allow the system to control to the desired Setpoint of the Primary loop. If desired, adaptive tune can be enabled for both loops.

    ########### V. RATIO CONTROL

    Ratio Control is employed in blending applications that require materials to be mixed to a desired ratio. In some applications not only is the ratio being controlled but also the combined flow or total discharge rate of the mixed materials.

    ########### Ratio control with one wild stream

    Figure 7.22 shows a simple example of a two stream blending application in which one of the streams is wild (uncontrolled). Ratio control for the type of application where one loop is “wild,” can be accomplished with a 545 configured for one loop.

    ############### Hardware Configuration

  • • Follow wiring as in Figure 7.22.
  • • Set the PV jumper (of Loop 1) and the RSP jumpers to “mA” position. Make sure the software ranges of both inputs match the range of the corresponding transmitter.
  • ############### Software Configuration

  • 1. In the PV INPUT menu, set HI. RANGE and LOW RANGE
  • 2. In the REM. SETPT. menu, set RSP: LO RNG and RSP:HI RNG .
  • 3. In the TUNING menu, RSP RATIO adjusts the ratio between the two streams. The value of this parameter is multiplied by the remote setpoint signal to yield the effective remote setpoint
  • ################################## Example

    In this example, the remote setpoint signal is the flow rate of Material B. The desired amount of B is twice that of A. Therefore, the ratio is 2.0. If the flow of Material B is measured at 50 gallons/minute, the effective remote setpoint value would be 2 times 50, or 100. The 535 would try to maintain the flow of Material A at 100. As the flow of Material B changes, the setpoint would change accordingly, always in a 2:1 ratio.

    ########### Ratio control with combined discharge monitoring

    This process requires not only the same ratio of blending as in example 1, but also requires the control of the combined discharge rate. In this example, material A will always by in the proper ratio to material B even as the flow of B is controlled to a specific rate. By controlling the flow rate of B, the total discharge from the mixer (in Figure 7.23) can also be regulated.

    Material B (PV1) has the only user defined setpoint in the system. The total flow setpoint of the system is calculated by the following formula:

    Total Flow = PV1 + ((PV2 x Loop2 SP Ratio) + SP Bias)

    NOTE: In dual stream Ratio Control, enter the ratio and bias values in the TUNING menu of Loop 2 under SP RATIO and SP BIAS

    ########### W. FEED FORWARD/FEEDBACK CONTROL

    In feedback control, controller output is based on the difference between process variable and setpoint. By contrast, feed forward control generates an output signal based upon the process variable. Feed forward control functions compensate for system lag times by providing a predictive or anticipative output signal based on a process measurement. Typically a feed forward signal is used to enhance the performance of a feedback loop.

    ################################## Example

    Below is an alkaline effluent stream with a constantly changing flow rate, into which an acid is being mixed (Refer to Figures 7.25 and 7.26). The acid valve is positioned as a result of the flow rate of the stream and the pH of the mix. This type of control is called Feed Forward/Feed Back. The pH sensor is a closed (feedback) loop that actually measures the result of the valve’s action. The flow rate is an open (feed forward) loop, adding, subtracting or multiplying its output to the pH loop.

    ########### Software Configuration

  • 1. In theCONFIG.menu , setCTRL. TYPE to FFWD. SUM or FFWD. MULT.
  • 2. Set up and tune the PID feedback loop (PV1).
  • 3. In the TUNING menu, set the effect of the feed forward input (PV2) on the control output through the following parameters:
  • ############################## Figure 7.27 Fixed and Variable Lag ExampleCompound Loop Chlorine Control

  • a. FFWD ZERO(Feed forward zero): This parameter is the PV2 (feed forward) value at which there is 0% contribution to controller output. For example, if you want the feed forward contribution to be 0% when PV2 is 500, set this parameter to 500.
  • b. FFWD GAIN (Feed forward gain): This parameter is the feed forward output contribution multiplier. For example, a gain of 1 causes a 1% output addition if PV2 is 1 unit above FFWD ZERO. A gain of -2 causes a -2% output addition if PV2 is 1 unit about FFWD ZERO.
  • c. FFWD HI LIM. and FFWD LO LIM. (Feed forward high limit & low limit): These parameters are output “clamps” used to limit the amount of feed forward contribution to control output. For example, if you wanted the feed forward contribution to never exceed 50%, setFF HI LIM.to 50%.FF LO LIM.limits the negative contribution to the output. See Figure 7.27 for an illustration of the use of these parameters.
  • ########### X. LAG TIME

    These functions are for slow processes with long or changing lag times.

    Figure 7.27 shows a compound loop flow pacing (feed forward/feed back) water chlorination control system. The fixed lag time is the time under steady flow it takes the chlorine to travel from the injector to the residual sampling point. Under fluctuating flow rates, the travel time between the injector and the sampling point will vary. When variable lag time is invoked, changes in the flow past the flow meter automatically increase or decrease the lag time between the injector and sampling point.

    ########### Fixed Lag

    Fixed Lag (FIXED. LAG) is a constant delay that prevents change in the control output before the results of the previous control value change can be measured. The fixed lag function may be used with the following control types: ONE LOOP, DUAL LOOP, FFWD. SUM and FFWD. MULT.

    ############### Software Configuration

  • 1. In the CONFIG. menu set CTRL.TYPE to : ONE LOOP, DUAL LOOP, FFWD.SUM or FFWD.MULT.
  • 2. In the CONTROL menu, set the FIXED LAG from 0 to 14400 seconds.
  • 3. Set up all other parameters as needed for your control application. Remember, changes in the control output will occur only at the end of theFIXED LAG period.
  • ########### Variable Lag

    Variable lag (VARBL. LAG) can be used in feed forward/feed back control strategies where the feedforward contribution (PV2 input) can vary and thus increase or decrease the amount of actual process lag time. Variable Lag may be used with FFWD. SUM and FFWD. MULT control types.

    ############### Software Configuration

  • 1. In the CONFIG. menu, set CTRL.TYPE to FFWD. SUM or FFWD.MULT.
  • 2. Go to the CONTROL menu.
  • 3. Set FIXED LAG time (if necessary) from 0 to 14400 seconds.
  • 4. Set theVARBL. LAGtime from 0 to 14400 seconds. The time set should be in the middle to high end of the variable range of the PV2 input.
  • 5. Set theMAX. LAGparameter from 0 to 14400 seconds. This represents the maximum lag time the variable lag feature can achieve.
  • When in the normal operating mode, the lag time will decrease as the PV2 value increases, and will increases as the PV2 value decreases.

    ###### APPENDIX 4 CALIBRATION

  • • To maintain optimum performance, once a year calibrate the analog input, the cold junction and milliamp output (when used). To achieve published accuracy specifications, follow directions carefully and use calibrated instruments of like quality to those suggested.
  • • If the controller is moved into an alternate case, or the hardware configuration is changed, and the thermocouple input is needed, recalibrate the cold junction for maximum accuracy. Failure to do so may result in small junction temperature (0.6°C/1.1°F).
  • Access the parts of the calibration menu as shown inFigure A4.2.

    Accuracy specifications are at reference conditions (25°C—Still Air) and only apply for NIST ranges. PV1 Thermocouple Cold Junction accuracy is 0.02°/degree from reference conditions. PV2 Thermocouple Cold Junction Accuracy is 0.10°/degree from reference conditions. Display accuracy is ± 1 digit. Cold Junction accuracy is 0.02°/degree. Detailed accuracy information is available upon request.

    CONTROL ALGORITHM PID, P with manual reset, PI, PD with manual reset, and On-Off are selectable from the front panel. Duplex outputs each use the same algorithm, except On-Off may be used with PID. The control output may be configured for cascade, ratio and feed forward applications. Fixed lag capability is available for PID loops with a constant delay. Variable lag capability is available when using the feed forward mode where the source of feed forward contribution may fluctuate. Feed forward contribution automatically modifies the length of the lag time.

    TUNING PARAMETERS Proportional Band: 0.1 to 999% of input range Integral: 1 to 39999seconds/repeat Derivative: 0 to 600 seconds Manual Reset/Load Line: 0 to 100% output Cycle Time: 0.3 to 120 seconds On-Off Deadband: up to 15% of input range (in eng. units)

    Up to eight sets of PID values may be stored in memory and selected automatically, based on setpoint value, process variable value, or the corresponding local setpoint (SP1–SP8).

    SELF TUNING OF PID VALUES—AVAILABLE FOR EACH LOOP POWERTUNE® On–demand “pretune”: This is an open loop algorithm that may be used on its own to calculate PID variables, or it can be used to provide preliminary PID values, as well as process identification information to be used by the adaptive tune. Three pretune types are available: TYPE 1 for slow thermal processes; TYPE 2 for fast fluid or pressure applicaitons; and TYPE 3 for level control applications. Adaptive tune: Our exclusive POWERTUNE® adaptive tuning algorithm automatically adjusts the PID values whenever a process upset occurs. Preliminary information may be entered manually or automatically calculated by our pretune algorithm.

    OVERSHOOT PROTECTION POWERBACK is proprietary, user-invoked, setpoint overshoot protection algorithm. When invoked, POWERBACK reduces or eliminates setpoint overshoot at power up or after setpoint changes. POWERBACK monitors the process variable to make predictive adjustments to the control parameters, a feature that helps eliminate overshoot of setpoint.

    ################################## ISOLATION

    Page 134

    Inputs and outputs are grouped into the following blocks:

  • Block 1A: process variable input 1
  • Block 1B: process variable input 2
  • Block 2: outputs 1, 2, 3 and 4
  • Block 3: communications, set of five digital inputs
  • Block 4: remote setpoint
  • Each block is electrically isolated from the other blocks to withstand a HIPOT potential of 500 Vac for 1 minute or 600 Vac for 1 second, with the exception of blocks 1 and 4, which are not isolated, but is capable to withstand a potential of 50 volts peak for 1 minute between each other. Inputs and outputs are not isolated from other inputs and outputs within the same block. Blocks 1A & 1B are ground loop isolated from each other to 10V peak to peak.

    CONTROLLER ARCHITECTURE The 545 Controller hardware can be configured as follows: Inputs: Two universal process variable inputs are standard. Available options include 1 remote setpoint, 1 slidewire feedback and 5 digital inputs. Outputs: 4 outputs are available. See Ordering Information. RS-485 Communications: Available as an option with any configuration.

    PROCESS VARIABLE INPUTS—2 AVAILABLE Universal input type. Any input type may be selected in the field. Selection of input type (thermocouple, RTD, voltage or current) via jumper. Selection of particular sensor or range is via front panel.

    Page 135

    ################################## INPUT SIGNAL FAILURE PROTECTION

    When input is lost, output is commanded to a predetermined output (-5 to 105%). Thermocouple burnout is selectable for upscale or downscale.

    INPUT FILTER Single pole lowpass digital filter with selectable time constant from 0 to 120 seconds.

    CALIBRATION The controller comes fully calibrated from the factory and continuously calibrates itself for component aging due to temperature and time, except for the reference voltage. Field calibration can be easily performed with a precision multimeter and thermocouple simulator. Process variable offset and gain factors are provided to correct for sensor errors.

    OUTPUT MODULES The controller can have a total of four control outputs, alarm outputs and/or loop power modules installed. There are five types of output modules which can be configured to suit your particular application. The modules may be ordered factory-installed, or they may be installed in the field. Analog module: Either 0–20mA or 4–20mA (front panel selectable) into a load up to 1000 ohms. Accuracy ± 5µA @ 25°C. Mechanical relay module: SPDT electromechanical relay. Resistive load rated at 5 amps at 120/240 VAC. Normally open or normally closed selection is made by jumper. Output 4 is rated at 0.5 amps at 24 VAC and is always normally open. Solid state relay (triac) module: Resistive load rated at 1 amp at 120/240 VAC. Output 4 is rated at 0.5 amps at 24 VAC. These outputs are normally open. DC logic (SSR drive) module: “ON” voltage is 17 Vdc (nominal). “OFF” voltage is less than 0.5 Vdc. (Current limited to 40mA.) Loop power supply module: Current is limited to 25mA @ 24V (nominally loading).

    CONTROL OUTPUTS Up to two output modules per loop may be designated for control. Any combination of output modules, with the exception of the loop power supply module, may be used. Duplex control is available if output modules are installed in the first and second output sockets for either loop. Position proportioning control with feedback is available if mechanical or solid state relay modules are installed in the first two output sockets, and the slidewire feedback option is installed. The feedback option may be added in the field. Slidewire feedback range is 0 to 1050 ohms (Slidewire SP available for either loop 1 or loop 2—one loop only). “Velocity” position proportioning control is available by installing mechanical or solid state relay modules in the first two output sockets. A special algorithm controls an electric actuator without the slidewire feedback signal. Staged (split range) outputs are available if analog modules are installed in the first and second output sockets. This algorithm will allow the output range to be split between the two outputs.

    RETRANSMISSION OUTPUT Based on available outputs (any socket not used for control), up to two different variables can be simultaneously programmed for retransmission. Each precise, 16-bit resolution output may be scaled for any range. Variable selection includes: PV1, SP1, RAMP SP1, LOOP1OUT, PV2, SP2, RAMP SP2 and LOOP2OUT.

    ALARMS The 545 controller has two software alarms per loop for a total of four alarms. High and low alarms may be sourced to the PV, SP, RAMP SP, DEVIATION and OUTPUT. If an alarm is tripped, the alarm message will show, the ACK key will illuminate (if acknowledgeable) and the ALM icon will light. If the alarm is tied to the first available non-control output, the “1” below the ALM icon will light. Similarly, if the alarm is tied to the second noncontrol output, the “2” below the ALM will light. The availability of outputs determines how many alarms can be tied to relays. Global Alarm feature allows one or more of the internal software alarms to be tied to the same single, physical output. The acknowledge key is active for alarms associated with either loop. The order in which alarms are acknowledged is: loop1 alarm1, loop1 alarm 2, loop2 alarm 1, loop2 alarm2.

    DIGITAL INPUTS A set of five external digital inputs activated by dry contacts (or open collector transistors) are available. Each can be configured to perform one of the following functions:

  • • Select remote setpoint • Select either direct or reverse
  • • Select manual control control action
  • • Select second local setpoint • Disable adaptive tuning
  • • Select a second set of • Addressable through serial PID values communications only
  • • Acknowledge alarms • Inhibit the reset term
  • • Simulate front panel keys • Lock controller in manual mode
  • In addition, if the set of five digital inputs is installed, two can be designated to select one of four local setpoints per loop (and associated PID set, if desired) via a binary coded decimal (BCD) input.

    SETPOINT SELECTION A remote setpoint input is available for one of the two loops. Signal is 0–20/4–20 mADC or 0–5/1–5 VDC (jumper selectable). Signal may be rationed and biased. Eight local setpoints per loop may be stored in memory. Setpoint selection is made via SET PT key or digital contact(s).

    FAULT OUTPUT One of the alarm outputs may be designated to also energize if the input signal is lost.

    SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS Isolated serial communications is available using an RS-485 interface. Baud rates of up to 19,200 are selectable. The protocol supports CRC data checking. If communications is lost, a timeout feature will command the controller to a particular control mode and specific setpoint or output if desired. Outputs 2–4 and digital inputs can act as “host-controlled” I/O independent of the controller’s function. May be installed in the field.

    DIGITAL DISPLAYS Upper display: five-digit, seven-segment. Used exclusively for displaying the process variable value. Height is 15 mm (0.6 in.). 2nd display: nine-character, 14-segment alphanumeric. Used for displaying setpoint, deviation, output value, slidewire position (actual valve position) and configuration information. Height is 6 mm (0.25 in.). 3rd display: nine-character, 14-segment alphanumeric. Used for indicating which loop is displayed and for displaying alarm messages and configuration information. Height is 6 mm (0.25 in.). All displays are vacuum fluorescent. Color is bluegreen.

    STATUS INDICATORS There are two types of indicators: icons and illuminated keys. ALM 1 and ALM 2 icons: alarm 1 and alarm 2 status. OUT 1 and OUT 2 icons: control output 1 and control output 2 status. PV2 icon illuminated: 2nd loop is on display. DISPLAY key illuminated: 2nd loop is on display. MAN key illuminated: controller is in manual control mode. ACK key illuminated: alarm may be acknowledged. SET PT key illuminated: setpoint other than primary local setpoint is active. MENU key illuminated: controller is in configuration mode.

    To Add or Change Output Modules The 500 Series units have provisions for four output modules. The units come factory configured with specified modules installed in appropriate locations. You can make field modifications by properly removing and/or adding the modules into the appropriate sockets. Three of the output sockets are located on the Power Supply Circuit Board. A fourth output socket is located on the Option Board (refer to Figure 2).

  • 5. A retention plate and tie wrap hold Output modules 1, 2, and 3 (on the Power Supply board) firmly in place. To remove the retention plate, snip the tie wrap with wire cutters
  • (Photo 5).
  • A disposable tie wrap holds Output module 4 (on the Option board) in place. To remove the module, snip the tie wrap
  • (Photo 6).
  • 7. Inspect each module before installation to make sure the pins are straight. Align the pins with the socket holes and carefully insert the module. Press down on the module to seat it firmly on the board.

    ############################################## NOTE:

    If you replace the EPROM chip, you must align the notch facing the front of the unit.

    NOTE: The 5- and 22-Pin connnectors on the boards are all keyed so they will only align one correct way.

    Figure 2 Microntroller Board, Option Board, and Power Supply Board

  • 8. Replace tie wraps for the Retention Plate and for Output Module 4 with new ones.
  • Failure to use these devices may result in a loosening of the module and eventual failure. If you ordered a module separately, it should have come with a tie wrap. An extra set of tie wraps is available by ordering Part #535-665. Note: For greatest accuracy, milliamp modules added for retransmission must be calibrated per instructions in Operator's Manual.

    To Change the Option Board

  • 9. (See Photos 3 and 4) Replace the existing Option board with the NEW one.
  • Note: When adding Option board for 5 digital inputs, associated screw terminal in the rear terminal block must be installed. (See information on page 1 for ordering a Screw Kit.)

    #################### To Change the Power Supply or Microcontroller (CPU) Board

  • 10. For the Microcontroller Board, disconnect the 5-pin female connector that wires it to the Display Assembly. Reattach the connector to the new board. You can only orient the connector one way.
  • For the Power Supply Board, disconnect the 5-pin female connector that wires it to the Display Assembly. Reattach the connector to the new board. You can only orient the connector one way.

    To Change the Display Assembly

  • 11. Disconnect the 5-pin female connector that wires the Microcontroller Board to the Display Assembly. Disconnect the 5-pin female connector that wires the Power Supply Board to the Display Assembly.
  • 12. Attach the new Display Assembly to the boards at the appropriate connectors.
  • |CAUTION Static discharge will cause damage to equipment. Always ground yourself with a wrist grounding strap when handling electronics to prevent static discharge.| |---|

    CAUTION Do not scratch the boards or bend the pins of the connectors.

    #################### To Change the EPROM

  • 13. The EPROM is located on the Microcontroller Circuit board (Figure 2). It has a white label that list the part number and software revision level. Use an I.C. Extractor to carefully remove the EPROM. If you do not have an I.C. extractor, gently use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry up the EPROM. DO Not bend the EPROM legs.
  • 14. Carefully insert the new EPROM. To position correctly, match the notched end of the EPROM to the markings on the board. The notched end will face towards the display. Make sure all pins are in the socket.
  • To Reassemble the Unit

  • 15. (See Figure 2) Align the connector pins on the Option Board with the connector sockets on the Microcontroller and Power Supply boards. Squeeze them together, making certain all three are properly seated against one another. Check along the side edges for gaps. Make sure the conector is properly aligned. Also, check that the cable assemblies are not pinched.
  • 16. (See Figure 2) Align the board assembly with the front face assembly, with the Option board at the bottom (see Figure 1). Reinstall the retention clips. Align the boards into the slots of the front face assembly and the clips will snap into place.
  • 17. When you are ready to reassemble the unit, align the boards in the chassis with the case's top and bottom grooves. Press firmly to slide the chassis into the case. If you have difficulty, check that you have properly oriented the chassis, and there are no screws interfering with the case.
