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.

using the cascade ratio (C.rtO) and bias (C.bIA) values to create the slave set point value.

2.13 Auto-tune
Note. Auto-tune is not available for Auto/Manual Station, Indicator or Ratio Station
templates, or when boundless or heat/cool control types are selected.
Information.
• Auto-tune optimizes process control by manipulating the COMMANDER 500 output and then
monitoring the process response.
• At the end of an auto-tune, the control parameters are updated automatically.
• Before starting auto-tune, the process variable must be stable.
• The COMMANDER 500 monitors the noise level of the process variable for 30 seconds and if
it is greater than 2% of the engineering range the auto-tune is aborted.
• The COMMANDER 500 selects either 'start-up' or 'at set point' tuning automatically, depending
upon the level of the process variable relative to the control set point.
2.13.1 Start-up Auto-tune
If the process variable is more than ±10% from the set point, 'start-up' tuning is carried out.
•'Start-up' tuning – steps the output to drive the process towards the set point. The process
response to this step change is monitored and PID parameters are calculated.
•The output step applied = % deviation from the set point x 1.5.
•If no errors exist, the COMMANDER 500 enters auto mode and begins to control the process
using the new PID parameters.
•If an error occurs during the auto-tune, the COMMANDER 500 reverts to manual mode with the
control output set to the default output value. An error message is displayed in the operator
level – see Table 2.1.
If the process variable is within 10% of the set point, 'at set point' tuning is carried out.
•'At set point' tuning – manipulates the control output to produce a controlled oscillation of the
process.
•A step change of ±10% of the starting output value is applied initially. This is adjusted to give an
amplitude of oscillation 3 times the noise level.
•Once the amplitude and period of oscillation are consistent (minimum 2 cycles, maximum 4
cycles) PID parameters are calculated.
•If no errors exist the controller enters auto mode and begins to control the process using the new
PID parameters.
•If an error occurs during the auto-tune, the controller reverts to manual mode with the control
output set to the default output value. An error message is displayed in the operator level –
see Table 2.1.

Notes For Special Cases.
Cascade Control – the slave loop must be tuned before the master loop. The slave must be
placed into local set point mode (cascade disabled) and the slave set point adjusted to the
required value prior to tuning.
Feedforward Control – during an auto-tune with a controller with feedforward the feedforward
signal is not applied. The feedforward gain and bias values are not changed by the auto-tune and
must be adjusted separately.
Time Proportioning – the cycle time must be set prior to running an auto-tune. The cycle time is
not changed by the auto-tune.

Note. With cascade control, the Control Efficiency Monitor is applicable only to the master
controller.
The Control Efficiency Monitor can be used either to compare the relative performance with different
tuning parameters, or when fine tuning the PID settings, to give optimum control.
When the set point is changed, auto mode is selected or following a power failure, input failure or a
large load disturbance, the control monitor performs a series of measurements to indicate the
effectiveness of the current control parameters.
General guidelines are shown in Table 2.2.

2.14.1 Manual Tuning
The Control Efficiency Monitor may be used for manually tuning the PID parameters. The following
method describes how to tune the controller for 1/4 wave damping:
a) Set the integral and derivative action times to OFF.
b) Set the proportional band (PB) to a low setting.
c) Apply a small set point change.
d) Use the Control Efficiency Monitor to note the decay ratio.
e) If the decay ratio > 0.25, increase the Proportional Band until decay ratio = 0.25
If the decay ratio < 0.25, decrease the Proportional Band until decay ratio = 0.25
f) Leave the proportional band at the setting which gives 0.25 decay ratio and, using the Control
Efficiency Monitor, note the period between peaks.
g) Calculate and set the following parameters:
Integral action time = Period/1.5
Derivative action time = Period/6
Note. The manual tuning facility must not be used with boundless motorized valve control, as
an Integral Action Time is required for these applications.

3.5.2 Valve Setup (Boundless Types) – Fig. 3.4
A ‘boundless’ process controller provides an output that is effectively the time derivative of the required regulator
position, i.e. the COMMANDER 500 signals the regulator, not where to go to (position derivative), but in which
direction to travel and how far to move, by a series of integral action pulses. Thus, the COMMANDER 500 does
not need to know the absolute regulator position and is unaffected when regulator reaches the upper or lower limit,
as determined by the regulator’s limit switches (giving rise to the term ‘boundless’).
When a deviation from set point is introduced the regulator is driven, for a length of time equivalent to the
proportional step. The regulator is then driven by integral action pulses until the deviation is within the deadband
setting.

Local Set Point Tracking – the local set point tracks the process variable
when manual mode is selected. Applies to master and slave set points
with cascade templates.
Remote Set Point Tracking – local set point tracks the remote set point
when in remote set point mode. If the controller is put into manual mode
the set point reverts from remote to local. Also applies to the local and
remote ratio when the ratio controller template is selected.
Set Point Limits
The set point limits define the maximum and minimum values to which the
local and/or remote set points can be adjusted.The set point limits do not
apply when in Manual mode with local set point tracking enabled. If the set
point is outside its limits when Automatic mode is selected, the set point
value can only be adjusted towards its limits. Once within the limits they
apply as normal.

5.7 Input Connections
Make connections to each input – see Fig 5.8.
Refer to rear fold-out/ Table A – Template
Applications for the default input assignment
settings.
5.7.1 Thermocouple (THC) Inputs
Note. Use the correct compensating cable
between the THC and the terminals – see
Table 5.1.
Automatic Cold Junction Compensation (ACJC) is
incorporated by use of CJ sensors wired across the
input terminals of I/P1 and I/P3 – see Fig. 5.12.
Alternatively, the CJ sensor can be mounted remotely
at the point where the thermocouple cable terminates
into copper cable, e.g. where cables enter an
instrument panel – see Fig. 5.13.
It is possible to use an external fixed cold (reference)
junction, if the instrument is programmed for use with
millivolt inputs and the appropriate thermocouple
linearizer is selected. This is only possible via the PC
configurator.

If long leads are necessary it is preferable to use a
3-lead RTD. If the RTD is to be used in a hazardous
area, a 3-lead RTD connected via a suitable Zener
barrier, must be used.
Refer to rear fold-out/ Table B – Output

5.9 Power Supply Connections
Warning.
• A 1A fuse must be fitted in the live (+ve) supply line.
• The ground line must be connected to the
ground stud and not to terminal 18 on the
terminal block – see Fig. 5.7.
Do not disturb the link between' terminal 18
and the ground stud.
• The type of power supply required (a.c. or d.c.)
is stated at the time of order and can be
identified from the instrument code number:
C50X/XX0X/STD = 85 to 265V a.c.
