Warning.
An instruction that draws attention to the risk of
injury or death.
Caution.
An instruction that draws attention to the risk of
damage to the product, process or surroundings.
Although
Warning hazards are related to personal injury, and Caution hazards are associated with equipment or
property damage, it must be understood that operation of damaged equipment could, under certain operational
conditions, result in degraded process system performance leading to personal injury or death. Therefore, comply
fully with all
Information in this manual is intended only to assist our customers in the efficient operation of our equipment. Use
of this manual for any other purpose is specifically prohibited and its contents are not to be reproduced in full or part

Health and Safety
To ensure that our products are safe and without risk to health, the following points must be noted:
1. The relevant sections of these instructions must be read carefully before proceeding.
2. Warning labels on containers and packages must be observed.
3. Installation, operation, maintenance and servicing must only be carried out by suitably trained personnel
and in accordance with the information given.
4. Normal safety precautions must be taken to avoid the possibility of an accident occurring when operating
in conditions of high pressure and/or temperature.
5. Chemicals must be stored away from heat, protected from temperature extremes and powders kept dry.
Normal safe handling procedures must be used.
6. When disposing of chemicals ensure that no two chemicals are mixed.

GETTING STARTED
Step 3 – Setting the Parameters (Fig. GS.1)
A
Pow er-up the instrument. Press the and keys simultaneously and hold f or
3 seconds to advance directly to Level 6 – Basic Configuration.
B
Set the appropriate application template, output type and control action. Use the
key to advance between frames and upper and keys to adjust the
default values – see Section 4.2 for further information.
Note. When the output type has been selected, the availab le inputs and outputs
default to the settings shown in Table B on the rear fold-out.
C
If you are not using 4 to 20mA inputs, then select Level 7 using the upper and
keys and set up Analog Inputs I/P1 to I/P3 to suit your process – see Section 4.3.

Select Level 2 using the upper and keys and set the tune parameters:
• Analog or Motorized Valve Control – set the Proportional, Integral and
Derivative terms.
• Time Proportioning Control – set the Cycle Time, Hysteresis and P, I & D Terms
• Heat/Cool Outputs – set the points at which the Output 1 and Output 2

GETTING STARTED
The COMMANDER 500 can be configured and made ready for operation in three easy
steps. This 'Getting Started' guide provides an overview of these steps and, where
necessary, refers to the relevant section of the manual.
Step 1 – Decide on the Application Template and the
Output Configuration required
Step 2 – Connect the process inputs and outputs
Step 3 – Power up the instrument, set the template number and the output
configuration details
Your COMMANDER 500 is now ready for operation
Step 1 – Application Template and Output Configuration
•Choose the Template which best suits your application from the list in Table A,
located on the rear fold-out.
•Choose the Control Output Type required from the list of options in Table B on the
rear foldout.
Step 2 – Electrical Connections
Using the labels on the back of the instrument as a guide, connect the process inputs,
outputs and power supplies. Refer to Section 5.2 of this man ual (Electrical Installation)
for more information.

1.6 Processor Watchdog
The instrument's processor activity is monitored by an independent watchdog device. When the
output of the watchdog is assigned to a relay or digital output, the relay/digital output de-energizes
if the instrument fails to function correctly.
1.7 Loop Break Monitor
Both analog outputs are monitored continuously to detect a loop break. A warning signal or other
action can be initiated by assigning the loop break signals to relays or digital outputs.
The Operator level (Level 1) is the normal day-to-day mode of the COMMANDER 500. This section
describes the operator facilities available on each frame depending on the control template and
output type selected.
The template types detailed in this section are:
•Single loop controller
•Auto/Manual station
•Analog backup station
•Indicator/manual loader station
•Single loop with feedforward control
•Cascade control
•Cascade with feedforward
•Ratio controller
•Ratio station
Note. Only the frames relevant to the selected template are displayed – see Section 4.
In addition, frames used to view the Control Efficiency Monitor and operate motorized valve and heat/
cool output types are also described.

2.3 Auto/Manual Station (Templates 3 and 4)
Note. Refer also to Appendix A2.1 – Series and Parallel Operation.
The auto/manual station provides a backup for a master controller. In normal operation the
COMMANDER 500’s analog output follows the master controller’s output value. A fault in the master
system can be identified either by detecting a low signal on the master output (template 3) or via a
digital signal (template 4). When a fault is detected the COMMANDER 500 goes into manual mode
with its output either set to the last valid master output value or to a configured output value – see
Section 4.6, Control Configuration/ Configured Output 1. When the master output is restored or the
digital input returns to its inactive state, the COMMANDER 500 switches back to auto mode.
Note. The Alarm A1 Trip value must be set when using template 3.

2.4 Analog Backup (Templates 5 and 6)
Note. Refer also to Appendix A2.1 – Series and Parallel Operation.
The analog backup station provides a backup for a master controller. In normal operation (remote
control mode selected) the COMMANDER 500’s current output follows the master controller’s output
value. A fault in the master system can be identified either by detecting a low signal on the master
output (template 5) or via a digital signal (template 6). When a fault is detected the COMMANDER
500 switches into local control mode and the process is controlled by the PID output of the
COMMANDER 500. The COMMANDER 500 PID algorithm tracks the master output value
continuously in order to ensure bumpless transfer from remote to local mode operation. When the
master output is restored or the digital input returns to its inactive state, the COMMANDER 500
switches back to remote control mode.
Note. The Alarm A1 Trip value must be set when using template 5.

2.8 Cascade with Feedforward (Template 13)
For cascade control, two internally-linked PID controllers are used, with the first (master) PID
controller providing the set point for the second (slave) controller. The feedforward disturbance
variable signal is added to the master output (slave set point). The disturbance signal is weighted by
the feedforward gain (FFGn) and the feedforward bias (FFbs) values.

2.9 Ratio Controller (Templates 14 and 15)
Ratio control enables a controlled process variable to be maintained automatically in definite
proportion to another variable known as the wild variable. The wild variable, weighted by ratio (rAtO)
and bias (bIAS), values forms the control set point for the process variable.
