INTRODUCTION

1.1 Description

This device can be purchased as monitor (read process value only) or as

acontroller.

The i Series Strain and Process controllers can measure a wide variety of DC voltage and current inputs for all common load cells, pressure transducers and strain gauge type of transducer. It offers unparalleled flexibility in process control. The voltage /current inputs are fully scaleable to virtually all engineering units, with selectable decimal point, perfect for use with pressure, flow or other process input.

The process control can be achieved by using on/off or PID control strategy. Control can be optimized with an Auto Tune feature. The controller offers a ramp to set point with timed soak period before switching off the output.

The i Series controller features a large, three color programmable display with capability to change a color every time when Alarm is triggered. The standard features include dual outputs with relay, SSR, DC pulse, analog voltage or current, built-in excitation for transducers, selectable as

10V @ 60 mA or 5 V @ 40 mA. Analog output is fully scaleable and may be configured as a proportional controller or retransmission to follow your display. Universal power supply accepts 90 to 240. Low voltage power option accepts 24 Vac or 12 to 36 Vdc.

Options include programmable RS-232 or RS-485 serial communication and ethernet with an embedded web server.

For the low voltage power option, in order to maintain the same degree of protection as the standard high voltage input power units (90 - 240 Vac), always use a Safety Agency Approved DC or AC source with the same Overvoltage Category and pollution degree as the standard AC unit (90 - 240 Vac).

The Safety European Standard EN61010-1 for measurement, control, and laboratory equipment requires that fuses must be specified based on IEC127. This standard specifies for a Time-lag fuse, the letter code “T”. The above recommended fuses are of the type IEC127-2-sheet III. Be aware that there are significant differences between the requirements listed in the UL 248-14/CSA 248.14 and the IEC 127 fuse standards. As a result, no single fuse can carry all approval listings. A 1.0 Amp IEC fuse is approximately equivalent to a 1.4 Amp UL/CSA fuse. It is advised to consult the manufacturer’s data sheets for a cross-reference.

Figure 2.6

a)Process Voltage Wiring Hookup with Sensor Excitation

b)Process Voltage Wiring Hookup without Sensor Excitation

RL - Voltage limited resistor, which allows to convert 24 Vdc internal excitation voltage to the appropriate process input value. For instance: if the potentiometer value is equal to 10 kΩ, the minimum RL is 14 kΩ for 10 V process input.

When configuring your instrument, select Process Type in the Input Type Menu (see Part 3).

2.3.4 Strain Gauge

The figure below shows the wiring hookup for 4-wire bridge input.

Figure 2.7

a)4-Wire Voltage/Bridge Input with Internal Excitation Wiring Hookup

b)4-Wire Bridge Input with External Excitation Wiring Hookup

In 4-Wire connections the voltage drop across long excitation lead wires of strain gauge bridge may cause measurement errors. The output of a strain gauge bridge also depends on the stability of excitation voltage. To correct for voltage drop and changes in excitation voltage, 6-wire input configuration and ratio measurement are used.

In order for the Ratiometric to work properly, the External Excitation should not drop below 4.6 Vdc.

The figure below shows 6-wire hookup for 6-wire bridge input.

This device has snubber circuits designed to protect the contacts of the

mechanical relays when it switches inductive loads (i.e. solenoids, relays). These snubbers are internally connected between the Common (C) and Normally Open (NO) relay contacts of Output 1 and Output 2.

If you have an inductive load connected between Common (C) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts of the mechanical relays and you want to protect them from the rush current during the switching period, you have to connect an external snubber circuit between Common

(C) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts as indicated in the figure below.

PART 3

OPERATION: CONFIGURATION MODE

3.1 Introduction

The instrument has two different modes of operation. The first, Run Mode, is used to display values for the Process Variable, and to display or clear Peak and Valley values. The other mode, Menu Configuration Mode, is used to navigate through the menu options and configure the controller. Part 3 of this manual will explain the Menu Configuration Mode. For your instrument to operate properly, the user must first "program" or configure the menu options.
