6 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE

6.1 Introduction

When the instrument is powered, it starts immediately to work according to the parameters values loaded in its memory.

The instrument behaviour and its performance are governed by the value of the stored parameters.

At the ﬁrst start up the instrument will use a “default” parameter set (factory parameter set); this set is a generic one (e.g. a TC J input is programmed).

Before connecting the output actuators, we recommend to conﬁgure the parameters to suit your application (e.g.: input type, Control strategy, alarms, etc.).

Do not change the [5] Unit (Engineering Unit) value during process control as the set point inserted by the user (thresholds, limits etc.) are not automatically rescaled by the instrument.

To change these parameters you need to enter the “Conﬁguration mode”.

6.2 Instrument behaviour at Power ON

At power ON the instrument can start in one of the following mode depending on its conﬁguration:

Auto mode.

– The upper display will show the measured value; – The meddle display will show the Set point value; – The lower display will show the valve position (measured

or theoretical according to the control strategy selected).

– The instrument is performing the standard PID control with

servo-motor drive output.

Manual mode (oPLo).

– The upper display shows the measured value; – The middle display shows the power output [preceded by H

(for heating) or C (for cooling)]. The MAN LED is lit;

– The lower display will show the valve position (measured

or theoretical according to the

selected control

). – The instrument does not perform Automatic control; – The control output can be manually modiﬁed by and

buttons.

Stand by mode (St.bY).

– The upper display will show the measured value; – The middle display will show alternately the set point value

and the message St.bY or od;

– The lower display will show the valve position (measured

or theoretical according to the control strategy selected).

– The instrument does not perform any control (the Out 2

[close] is ever ON);

– The instrument is working as an indicator.

6.3 Conﬁguration modes

6.3.1 How to enter the “Conﬁguration modes”

The conﬁguration mode allows to take advantage of all instrument features.

The instrument have one complete parameter set.

We call this set “conﬁguration parameter set” (or “conﬁguration parameters”).

The access to the conﬁguration parameters is

protected by a

password.

Note: The instrument will show only the parameters consistent

with the speciﬁc hardware and in accordance with the value assigned to the previous parameters (e.g.: if you set an Alarm as “not used” the instrument will mask all other parameters related to this Alarm).

6.3.2 Complete conﬁguration procedure

The conﬁguration parameters are collected in various groups. Every group deﬁnes all parameters related with a speciﬁc function (e.g.: control, alarms, output functions).

1. Push the button for more than 5 seconds. The upper display will show PASS while the middle display will show 0.

2. Using

and

buttons set the programmed password.

Notes: 1. The factory default password for conﬁguration

parameters is equal to 30.

2. During parameter modiﬁcation the instrument continue to perform the control. In certain conditions, when a conﬁguration change can produce a heavy bump to the process, it is advisable to temporarily stop the controller from controlling during the programming procedure (control output will be OFF). A password equal to 2000 + the programmed value (e.g. 2000 + 30 = 2030). The control will restart automatically when the conﬁguration procedure will be manually closed.

3. Push the button. If the password is correct the display will show the acronym of the ﬁrst parameter group preceded by the symbol: ]. In other words the upper display shows:

]inp

(group of the Input parameters).

The instrument is in conﬁguration mode.

6.3.3 How to exit the “Conﬁguration mode”

Push button for more than 5 seconds, the instrument will come back to the “standard display”.

6.4 Keyboard functions during parameter changing

A short press allows to exit from the current parameter

group and select a new parameter group.

A long press allows you to close the conﬁguration

parameter procedure (the instrument will come back to the “standard display”).

When the upper display is showing a group and the

middle display is blank, this key allows to enter in the selected group.

When the upper display is showing a parameter and

the middle display is showing its value, this key allows to store the selected value for the current parameter and access the next parameter within the same group. Allows to increase the value of the selected parameter. Allows to decrease the value of the selected parameter.

+ These two keys allow to return to the previous

group. Proceed as follows:

Push the button and maintaining the pressure,

then push the button; release both the buttons.

Note: The group selection is cyclic as well as the selection

of the parameters in a group.

6.5 Factory reset - Default parameters loading procedure

Sometime, e.g. when you re-conﬁgure an instrument previously used for other works or from other people or when you have made too many errors during conﬁguration and you decided to re-conﬁgure the instrument, it is possible to restore the factory conﬁguration.

This action allows to put the instrument in a deﬁned condition (the same it was at the ﬁrst power ON).

The default data are those typical values loaded in the instrument prior to ship it from factory.

To load the factory default parameter set, proceed as follows:

1. Press the button for more than 5 seconds. The upper

display will show PASS while the middle display shows 0;

2. Using and buttons set the value -481;

3. Push button;

4. The instrument will turn OFF all LEDs for a few seconds,

then the upper display will show dFLt (default) and then all LEDs are turned ON for 2 seconds. At this point the

instrument restarts as for a new power ON. The procedure is complete.

Note: The complete list of the default parameters is available

in Appendix A.

6.6 OEM Reset/

OEM Default

Parameters Set

In addition to the “Factory default” these instruments allow the OEM to store his own default parameter set. In this way if an end-user tampers the parameter values, the after sales support of the OEM has a fast and easy way to reset the machine and return to the proprietary parameter set.

6.6.1 Storing the OEM default parameter set

Once the OEM has conﬁgured his own paratameter set and is returned to the “Standard display”, in order store these values as a “Proprietary default” the OEM must proceed as follows:

1. Press the button for more than 5 seconds. The upper

display will show PASS while the middle display shows 0;

2. Using and buttons set the value -682;

3. Push button;

4. The instrument shows LoAd on the upper display in order

to highlight that the memorization has been made, then

returns to the

“Standard display”

mode.

6.6.2 Loading the OEM default parameter set

1. Press the button for more than 5 seconds. The upper

display will show PASS while the middle display shows 0;

2. Using and buttons set the value -581;

3. Push button;

4. The instrument turns ON all the LEDs for a few seconds,

then returns to the

“Standard display”

mode.

Notes: 1. If the instrument does not turn ON all the

LEDs for at least 2 seconds, it means that the password inserted was incorrect and the OEM parameter set has NOT been loaded.

2. Using the serial link it is always possible to send to

the address 13H the corretct password in order to obtain the desired action (-481 for the Factory set,

-581 for OEM set or -682 to store the OEM set).

6.7 Conﬁguring all Parameters

In the following pages we will describe all the parameters of the instrument. However, the instrument will only show the parameters applicable to its hardware options in accordance with the speciﬁc instrument conﬁguration (i.e. setting AL1t [Alarm 1 type] to nonE [not used], all parameters related to alarm 1 will be skipped).

]inP Group - Main input conﬁguration

[1] SEnS - Input type

Available: Always. Range: J TC J (-50... +1000°C/-58... +1832°F);

crAL TC K (-50... +1370°C/-58... +2498°F); S TC S (-50... 1760°C/-58... +3200°F); r TC R (-50... +1760°C/-58... +3200); t TC T (-70... +400°C/-94... +752°F);

0.20 0... 20 mA linear;

4.20 4... 20 mA linear;

0.60 0... 60 mV linear (see note 3);

12.60 12... 60 mV Linear (see note 3).

Notes: 1. When a TC input is selected and a decimal ﬁgure

is programmed (see the next parameter) the max. displayed value becomes 999.9°C or 999.9°F.

2. Every change of the SEnS parameter setting will force the [2] dP = 0 and it will change all parameters related with dP (e.g. set points, proportional band, etc.);

3. In order to obtain a 0... 5 V or a 0... 10 V input, select 0... 60 mV and connect the adapter:

- 0... 5 V = AD ADPINMV-KX-V5;

- 0... 10 V = AP ADPINMV-KX-V10;

[2] dP - Decimal point position

Available: Always. Range: When [1] SenS = Linear input: from 0 to 3.

When [1] SenS different from linear input: 0 or 1.

Note: Every change of the dP parameter setting will produce

a change of the parameters related with it (e.g.: set points, proportional band, etc.).

[3] SSc - Initial scale read-out for linear inputs

Available: When a linear input is selected by [1] SenS. Range: -1999... 9999.

Notes: 1. SSc allows the scaling of the analogue input to

set the read-out value shown when the instrument detect the minimum measurable value. The instrument will show a measured value up to 5% less then SSc value and than it will show an underrange error.

2. It is possible to set a initial scale read-out higher then the full scale read-out in order to obtain a reverse read-out scaling. For example: 0 mA = 0 mBar and 20 mA = -1000 mBar (vacuum).

[4] FSc - Full scale read-out for linear input

Available: When a linear input is selected by [1] SenS. Range: -1999... 9999

Notes: 1. Fsc allows the scaling of the analogue input to set

the read-out value shown when the instrument detect the maximum measurable value. The instrument will show a measured value up to 5% higher than [4] FSc value and then it will show an overrange error.

2. It is possible to set a full scale read-out lower

Page 8

Ascon Tecnologic - KX6 - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 8

than the initial scale read-out in order to obtain a reverse read-out scaling. For example: 0 mA = 0 mBar and 20 mA = -1000 mBar (vacuum).

[5] unit - Engineering unit

Available: When a temperature sensor is selected by

[1] SenS parameter.

Range: °c Centigrade;

°F Fahrenheit.

The instrument does not rescale the temperature values inserted by the user (thresholds, limits etc.).

[6] FiL - Digital ﬁlter on the measured value

Available: Always. Range: oFF (No ﬁlter)

0.1... 20.0 s.

Note: This is a ﬁrst order digital ﬁlter applied on the measured

value. For this reason it will affect the measured value but also the control action and the alarms behaviour.

[7] inE -

Selection of the Sensor Out of Range type that will enable the safety output value

Available: Always. Range: our When an overrange or an underrange is de-

tected, the power output will be forced to the value of [8] oPE parameter.

When an overrange is detected, the power output will be forced to the value of [8] oPE parameter.

When an underrange is detected, the power output will be forced to the value of [8] oPE parameter.

[8] oPE - Safety output value

Available: Always. Range: OFF;

-100... 100% of the output.

Notes: 1. When the instrument is programmed with one

control action only (heat or cool), setting a value outside of the available output range, the instrument uses Zero. For example: When heat action only has been programmed, and oPE is equal to -50% (cooling) the instrument uses 0.

2. When ON/OFF control is programmed and an out of range is detected, the instrument performs the safety output value using a ﬁxed cycle time equal to 20 seconds.

3. When the control output is a Open Loop valve control, a value equal or lower than zero switches ON the “close” output (OUT 2) while a positive value switches ON the “open” output (Out 1).

4. When OFF is selected the instrument operates as follows: when a burnout condition is detected the instrument goes automatically in MAN mode. Removed the burnout condition, the instrument remains in MAN mode until Auto mode is selected (by OPEr parameter, a command by serial link, digital imput or by the key pressure).

[9] diF1 - Digital input 1 function

Available: Always. Range: oFF No function;

1 Alarm Reset [status]; 2 Alarm acknowledge (ACK) [status]; 3 Hold of the measured value [status]; 4 Stand by mode of the instrument [status].

When the contact is closed the instrument operates in stand by mode;

5 Manual mode; 6 HEAt with SP1 and CooL with “SP2” [status]

(see “Note about digital inputs”);

7 SP1/SP2 selection [status];

[10] diF2 - Digital input 2 function

Available: When [9] Io4.F = diG2. Range: oFF No function;

1 Alarm Reset [status]; 2 Alarm acknowledge (ACK) [status]; 3 Hold of the measured value [status]; 4 Stand by mode of the instrument [status].

When the contact is closed the instrument operates in stand by mode;

5 Manual mode; 6 HEAt with SP1 and CooL with “SP2” [status]

(see “Note about digital inputs”);

7 SP1/SP2 selection [status];

Note about digital inputs:

When [10] diF1 or [11] diF2 (e.g. diF1) is equal to 6 the instrument operates as follows:

• When the contact is open, the control action is an heating action and the active set point is SP.

• When the contact is closed, the control action

is a

cooling action and the active set point is SP2.

[11] di.A - Digital Inputs Action

Available: DI1 always, DI2 when present. Range: 0 DI1 Direct action, DI2 Direct action;

1 DI1 Reverse action, DI2 Direct action; 2 DI1 Direct action, DI2 Reverse action; 3 DI1 Reverse action, DI2 Reverse action.

[20] Ab1 - Alarm 1 function

Available: When [19] AL1t is different from nonE. Range: 0... 15 with the following rule:

+1 Not active at power up; +2 Latched alarm (manual reset); +4 Acknowledgeable alarm; +8

Relative alarm not active at set point change.

Example: Setting Ab1 equal to 5 (1+4) the alarm 1 will be “Not active at power up” and “Acknowledgeable”.

Notes: 1. The “Not active at power up” selection allows to

inhibit the alarm function at instrument power up or when the instrument detects a transfer from:

• Manual mode (oPLo) to Auto mode;

• Stand-by mode to Auto mode.

The alarm will be automatically enabled when the measured value reaches, for the ﬁrst time, the alarm threshold ±hysteresis (in other words, when the initial alarm condition disappears).

[24] HAL1 - Alarm 1 hysteresis

Available: When [19] AL1t is different from nonE or

[19] AL1t is different from SE.br.

Range: 1... 9999 engineering units. Notes: 1. The hysteresis value is the difference between

the Alarm threshold value and the point the Alarm automatically resets.

2. When the alarm threshold plus or minus the hysteresis is out of input range, the instrument will not be able to reset the alarm.

Example: Input range 0... 1000 (mBar).

– Set point equal to 900 (mBar);

– Deviation low alarm equal to 50 (mBar);

– Hysteresis equal to 160 (mBar) the theoretical reset point is

900 - 50 + 160 = 1010 (mBar) but this value is out of range. The reset can be made only by turning the instrument OFF, removing the condition that generate the alarm and then turn the instrument ON again.

– All band alarms use the same hysteresis value for both

thresholds;

– When the hysteresis of a band alarm is bigger than the

programmed band, the instrument will not be able to reset the alarm.

Example: Input range 0... 500 (°C).

– Set point equal to 250 (°C);

– Relative band alarm;

– Low threshold equal to 10 (°C);

– High threshold equal to 10 (°C);

– Hysteresis equal to 25 (°C).

] LbA group - Loop break alarm

General note about LBA alarm

The LBA operate as follows: applying the 100% of the power output to a process, the process variable, after a time due to the process inertia, begins to change in a known direction (increases for an heating action or decreases for a cooling action).

Example: If I apply 100% of the power output to a furnace, the temperature must go up unless one of the component in the loop is faulty (heater, sensor, power supply, fuse, etc...)

The same philosophy can be applied to the minimum power. In our example, when I turn OFF the power to a furnace, the temperature must go down, if not the SSR is in short circuit, the valve is jammed, etc..

LBA function is automatically enabled when the PID requires the maximum or the minimum power.

When the process response is slower than the programmed limit the instrument generates an alarm.

Notes: 1. When the instrument is in manual mode, the LBA

function is disabled.

2. When LBA alarm is ON the instrument continues to perform the standard control. If the process response comes back into the programmed limit, the instrument automatically resets the LBA alarm.

[35] LbAt - LBA time

[37] LbAS - Delta measure used by loop break

alarm (loop break alarm step)

Available: When [35] LbAt is different from oFF. Range: 1... 9999 engineering units.

[38] LbcA - Condition for LBA enabling

Available: When [35] LbAt is different from oFF. Range: uP Enabled when the PID requires the maxi-

mum power only;

dn Enabled when the PID requires the mini-

mum power only;

both

Enabled in both condition (when the PID re-

quires the maximum or the minimum power). LBA application example: LbAt (LBA time) = 120 seconds (2 minutes);

LbAS (delta LBA) = 5°C. The machine has been designed in order to reach 200°C in

20 minutes (20°C/min).

When the PID demands 100% power, the instrument starts the time count.

During time count if the measured value increases more than 5°C, the instrument restarts the time count. Otherwise if the measured value does not reach the programmed delta (5°C in 2 minutes) the instrument will generate the alarm.

[40] Auto - Auto tune selection

Ascon Tecnologic has developed three auto-tune algorithms:

– Oscillating auto-tune;

– Fast auto-tune;

– EvoTune.

1. The oscillating auto-tune is the usual auto-tune and:

• It is more accurate;

• Can start even if PV is close to the set point;

• Can be used even if the set point is close to the

ambient temperature.

2. The fast type is suitable when:

• The process is very slow and you want to be operative in a short time;

• When an overshoot is not acceptable;

• In multi-loop machinery where the fast method reduces

the calculation error due to the effect of the other loops.

3. The EvoTune type is suitable when:

• You have no information about your process;

• You can not be sure about the end user skills;

• You desire an auto tune calculation independently

from the starting conditions (e.g. set point change during tune execution, etc).

Note: Fast auto-tune can start only when the measured

value (PV) is lower than (SP + 1/2 SP).

Available: When [39] cont = PID or 3Pt. Range: -4... 8 where:

-4 Oscillating auto-tune with automatic restart at

all set point change;

-3 Oscillating auto-tune with manual start;

-2 Oscillating auto-tune with automatic start at the

ﬁrst power up only;

-1 Oscillating auto-tune with automatic restart at every power up;

0 Not used; 1 Fast auto tuning with automatic restart at every

power up;

point change.

EvoTune with automatic restart at every power up;

6 EvoTune with automatic start at the ﬁrst power

up only;

7 EvoTune with manual start; 8 EvoTune with automatic restart at all set point

change.

[41] tunE - Manual start of the auto-tune

on The instrument is performing the auto-tune.

[42] HSEt - Hysteresis of the ON/OFF control

Available: When [39] cont is different from PID or 3Pt. Range: 0... 9999 engineering units.

[43] Pb - Proportional band

Available: When [39] cont = PID or 3Pt. Range: 1... 9999 engineering units.

Note: Auto-tune functions calculate this value.

[44] ti - Integral time

Available: When [39] cont = PID or 3Pt. Range: OFF = Integral action excluded;

1... 9999 seconds;

inF= Integral action excluded (reserved).

Note: Auto-tune functions calculate this value.

[46] Fuoc - Fuzzy overshoot control

This parameter reduces the overshoot usually present at instrument start up or after a set point change and it will be active only in this two cases.

Setting a value between 0.00 and 1.00 it is possible to slow down the instrument action during set point approach.

Setting Fuoc = 1 this function is disabled.

time

Available: When [39] cont = PID or 3Pt. Range: 0... 2.00.

Note: Fast auto-tune calculates the Fuoc parameter while

the oscillating one sets it equal to 0.5.

[47] tcH - Cycle time of the heating output

Available: When at least one output is programmed in order

to be the heating output (H.rEG), [56] cont = PID.

Range: 1.0... 130.0 seconds.

[48] rcG - Power ratio between heating and

cooling action (relative cooling gain)

The instrument uses the same PID parameter set for heat and for cool action but the efﬁciency of the two actions are usually different.

This parameter allows to deﬁne the ratio between the efﬁciency of the heating system and the efﬁciency of the cooling one.

An example will help us to explain you the philosophy.

Consider one loop of a plastic extruder. The working temperature is equal to 250°C.

When you want to increase the temperature from 250 to 270°C (DT = 20°C) using 100% of the heating power (resistor), you will need 60 seconds.

On the contrary, when you want to decrease the temperature from 250 to 230°C (DT = 20°C) using 100% of the cooling power (fan), you will need 20 seconds only.

In our example the ratio is equal to 60/20 = 3 ([67] rcG = 3) and it say that the efﬁciency of the cooling system is 3 time more efﬁcient of the heating one.

Available: When two control action are programmed

(H.rEG and c.rEG) and [39] cont = PID.

Range: 0.01... 99.99 Note: Auto-tune functions calculate this value.

[49] tcc - Cycle time of the cooling output

Available: When at least one output is programmed in order

to be the cooling output (c.rEG), [56] cont = PID.

Range: 1.0... 130.0 seconds.

[50] rS - Manual reset (integral pre-load)

It allows to drastically reduce the undershoot due to a hot restart. When your process is steady, the instrument operates with a steady power output (e.g.: 30%).

If a short power down occurs, the process restarts with a process variable close to the set point while the instrument starts with an integral action equal to zero.

Setting a manual reset equal to the average power output (in our example 30%) the instrument will start with a power output equal to the value it will use at steady state (instead of zero) and the undershoot will become very little (in theory equal to zero).

Available: When [39] cont = PID or 3Pt. Range: -100.0... +100.0%.

[51] Str.t - Servomotor stroke time

Available: When [39] cont = 3Pt. Range: 5... 300 seconds;

Note: When a open loop with potentiometer input is selected,

this parameter ia automatically calculated by the “automatic calibration system” (see [48] P.cAL parameter).

Range: -100... [54]OP.H%.

[54] OP.H - Maximum power output

Available: When: [39] cont = PID;

[39] cont = 3Pt and [58] Pot = Pot.o; [39] cont = 3Pt and [58] Pot = Pot.c.

Range: [53] OP.L ... 100%.

[55] St.P - Maximum power output used during

soft start

Available: When: [39] cont = PID;

[39] cont = 3Pt and [58] Pot = Pot.c.

Range: -100... +100%. Notes: 1. When St.P parameter have a positive value, the

limit will be applied to the heating output(s) only.

2. When St.P parameter have a negative value, the limit will be applied to the cooling output(s) only.

3. When a program with automatic start at power up and soft start function are programmed, the instrument performs the soft start and than the program function.

4. The auto-tune function will be performed after soft start function.

5. The Soft start function is available also when ON/ OFF control is used.

[56] SSt - Soft start time

Available: When: [39] cont = PID;

[57] SS.tH - Threshold for soft start disabling

Available: When: [39] cont = PID;

[39] cont = 3Pt and [58] Pot = Pot.c.

Range: -1999... 9999 engineering units. Notes: 1. When the power limiter has a positive value (the

limit is applied to the heating action) the soft start function will be aborted when the measured value is greater or equal to SS.tH parameter.

2. When the power limiter has a negative value (the limit is applied to the cooling action) the soft start function will be aborted when the measured value

is lower or equal to SS.tH parameter.

When [59] P.cAL = YES, pushing the button the instrument operates as follows:

1. The instrument goes in MANUAL mode;

2. The instrument energizes the Open valve output (Out 1),

then veriﬁes if the measure of the potentiometer position starts growing.

2.1 If the potentiometer position value decreases, the instrument de-energizes

Out 1 and shows the message: E.P.rE (Error - potentiometer reversed). The message disappears as soon as the button is pressed (the instrument returns to the P.cAL parameter).

2.2 If, after 10 seconds, the measure does not increase, the instrument de-energizes the Open valve relay and energizes the Close valve relay (Out 2).

2.2.1. If, after 10 seconds, the measure does not

crease, the instrument de-energizes Out 2 re-

lay

, considers the potentiometer disconnected and shows the message no.Pt (No potentiometer) on the middle display. The message disappears as soon as the button is pressed (the instrument returns at P.cAL parameter).

2.2.2. If the measure starts decreasing, the instrument keeps active the “Close valve” output until the measure changes. When the measure stops changing for more than 5 seconds, the instrument stores this value as 0% (zero) position and goes to the next step.

3. The instrument de-energizes the Close valve relay and energizes the Open valve relay until the measured value increases.

4. When the measure stops changing for more than 5 seconds, the instrument stores this value as 100% position.

4.1 If the count detected from 0% to 100% is lower than

30% of the instrument counts, on the middle display the instrument shows the error message: E.P.cA (Potentiometer calibration error). The message disappears as soon as the button

pressed (the instrument returns at P.cAL parameter).

5. During the potentiometer calibration the instrument detects the (real) valve stroke time and stores it in the Str.t (Stroke time) parameter.

At the end of the automatic potentiometer calibration the instrument moves the valve to zero and shows “donE”. The message disappears as soon as the button

pressed (the instrument returns at P.cAL parameter).

Note also:

If, during normal operations, the instrument detects a potentiometer malfunction, it operates as follows:

– Switches immediately to the “Servo motor without

potentiometer” control mode; – Ignores parameters [53] OP.L and [54] OP.H; – The potentiometer icon starts ﬂashing to warn the user

about the problem detected.

[60] PoSi - Valve position at start up

Available: When [39] cont = 3Pt and [58] Pot = nonE. Range: no No action;

oPEn At all power ON the instrument energizes

the Open valve relay for the programmed stroke time;

CloSe At all power up the instrument energizes

the Close valve relay for the programmed stroke time.

]SP Group - Set point parameters

[61] nSP - Number of used set points

Available: Always. Range: 1... 4.

Note: When you change the value of this parameter, the

instrument operates as follows:

• [68] A.SP parameter will be forced to SP.

• The instrument veriﬁes that all used set point are with-

in the limits programmed by [62] SPLL and [63] SPHL. If an SP is out of this range, the instrument forces it to the maximum acceptable value.

[62] SPLL - Minimum set point value

Available: Always. Range: From -1999 to [63] SPHL engineering units

Notes: 1. When you change the [62] SPLL value, the instru-

ent checks all local set points (SP, SP2, SP3 and

SP4 parameters).

If an SP is out of this range, the

instrument forces it to the maximum acceptable value

2. A [62] SPLL change produces the following actions:

• When [69] SP.rt = SP the remote set point will be forced to be equal to the active set point.

• When [69] SP.rt = trim the remote set point will be forced to zero.

• When [69] SP.rt = PErc the remote set point will be forced to zero.

[63] SPHL - Maximum set point value

Available: Always. Range: From [62] SPLL to 9999 engineering units.

Note: For other details see [62] SPLL parameter.

[64] SP - Set Point 1

Available: Always. Range: From [62] SPLL to [63] SPHL engineering units.

[65] SP 2 - Set Point 2

Available: When [61] nSP > 2. Range: From [62] SPLL to [63] SPHL engineering units.

[67] SP 4 - Set Point 4

Available: When [61] nSP =4. Range: From [62] SPLL to [63] SPHL engineering units.

[68] A.SP - Selection of the active Set point

Available: When [61] nSP > 2 Range: From SP to [61] nSP.

Notes: 1. A [68] A.SP change produces the following actions:

• When [69] SP.rt = SP - the remote set point is forced to be equal to the active set point;

• When [69] SP.rt = trin - the remote set point is forced to zero;

• When [69] SP.rt = PErc - the remote set point is forced to zero.

2. SP2, SP3 and SP4 selection are shown only when the relative set point is enabled (see [61] nSP parameter).

[69] SP.rt - Remote set point type

These instruments will communicate with each other, using RS 485 serial interface without a PC. An instrument can be set as a Master while the other are (as usual) Slave units. The Master unit can send his operative set point to the slave units.

In this way, for example, it is possible to change simultaneously the set point of 20 instruments by changing the set point of the master unit (e.g. hot runner application).

[69] SP.rt parameter deﬁnes how the slaves units will use the value coming from serial link.

The [86] tr.SP [selection of the value to be retransmitted (Master)] parameter allows to deﬁne the value sent by master unit.

Available: When serial interface is present. Range: rSP The value coming from serial link is used

as remote set point (RSP).

trin The value coming from serial link will be

algebraically added to the local set point selected by A.SP and the sum becomes the operative set point.

PErc The value coming from serial will be scaled

on the input range and this value will be used as remote set point.

Note: A [69] SPrt change produces the following actions:

• When [69] SP.rt = rSP - the remote set point will be forced to be equal to the active set point;

• When [69] SP.rt = trin - the remote set point will be forced to zero;

• When [69] SP.rt = PErc - the remote set point will be forced to zero.

Example: A 6 zone reﬂow-oven for PCB. The master unit sends its set point value to 5 other zones (slave controllers).

The Slave zones use it as a set point trim. The ﬁrst zone is the master zone and it uses a set point

equal to 210°C. The second zone has a local set point equal to -45°C. The third zone has a local set point equal to -45 (°C). The fourth zone has a local set point equal to -30. The ﬁfth zone has a local set point equal to +40. The sixth zone has a local set point equal to +50. In this way, the thermal proﬁle will be the following:

– Master SP = 210°C;

– Second zone SP = 210 -45 = 165°C; – Third zone SP = 210 -45 = 165°C; – Fourth zone SP = 210 - 30 = 180°C; – Fifth zone SP = 210 + 40 = 250°C; – Sixth zone SP = 210 + 50 = 260°C.

Changing the SP of the master unit, all the other slave units will immediately change their operative set point.

The most important step of the conﬁguration procedure is completed.

In order to exit from conﬁguration parameter procedure, proceed as follows:

• Push button.

• Push button for more than 10 s. The instru-

ment will come back to the “standard display”.

7 PARAMETER PROMOTION

Another important step of the instrument conﬁguration is due to the possibility to create a custom HMI (interface) in order to make the instrument easy to use for the operator and comfortable for the assistance.

By a special procedure, named promotion, the OEM can create two parameter subsets.

The ﬁrst one is the “limited access” level. This subset is protected by the password programmed by [73] PAS2 parameter.

The last subset is the “Operator” set (Level1). This level is NOT password protected.

Notes: 1. The “limited access” parameter are collected in a list.

2. The sequence of the “limited access” parameters

is programmable and can be made according to your needs.

3. The parameter sequence of the operator level is the same programmed for “limited access” level but only speciﬁed parameters can be displayed and modiﬁed. This set must be create according to your requirements.

7.1 Parameter promotion procedure

The limited access parameter set is a list, so that, before to start promotion procedure, we suggest to operate as follows:

1. Prepare the exact parameter list you want to make accessible for limited access.

2. Number the desired parameters in the same sequence you want to have in the limited access.

3. Deﬁne which of the selected parameter will be available in Operator level also.

Example: I would like to obtain the following limited access list:

• OPEr - Operative mode selection

• SP - ﬁrst set point

• SP2 - Second set point

• A.SP - Set point selection

• AL1 - Alarm 1 threshold

• AL2 - Alarm 2 threshold

• Pb - Proportional band

• ti - Integral time

• td - Derivative time

• Aut.r - Manual start of the auto-tune

But I want that the operator to be able to change: the operative mode, the SP value and the AL1 value. In this case the promotion will be the following:

Parameter Promotion Limited Access Operator

- OPEr - o 1 OPEr OPEr

- SP - o 2 SP SP

- SP2 - A 3 SP2

- A.SP - A 4 A.SP

- AL1 - o 5 AL1 AL1

- AL2 - A 6 AL2

- Pb - A 7 Pb

- ti - A 8 ti

- td - A 9 td

- Aut.r - A 10 Aut.r

Page 18

Ascon Tecnologic - KX6 - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 18

Now, proceed as follows:

1. Push the button for more than 3 seconds.

2. The upper display will show PASS while the middle

display will show 0.

3. By and buttons set a password equal to -81.

4. Push button.

The instrument will show the acronym of the ﬁrst conﬁguration parameter group

]

inP

5. By button select the group of the ﬁrst parameter of your list.

6. By button select the ﬁrst parameter of your list

7. The upper display will show the acronym of the parameter

while the middle display will show his current promotion level. The promotion level is deﬁned by a letter followed by a number. The letter can be:

c: It shows that this parameter is NOT promoted

and it is present only in conﬁguration. In this case the number is forced to zero.

A: It shows that this parameter has been promoted

to the limited access level. The number will show the position in the limited access list.

o: It shows that the parameter has been promoted

to the Operator level. The number will show the position in the limited access list.

8. By and buttons assign to this parameter the desired position.

Note: Setting a value different from 0 the letter c will change

automatically to A and the parameter is automatically promoted to the limited access level.

9. In order to modify the level from limited access to operator and vice versa, push button and, maintaining the pressure, push button. The letter will change from A to o and vice versa.

10. Select the second parameter that you want to add to the assistance level and repeat step 6, 7 and 8.

11. Repeat steps 5, 6, 7, 8 until the list has been completed.

12. When you need to exit from promotion procedure, push

button and maintain the pressure for more than 10 s.

The instrument will show the “standard display”.

Note: When you set the some number to two parameter, the

instrument will use only the last programmed parameter.

Example: In the previous example, I have set for SP2 a promotion value equal to A3.

If now I set for SP3 a promotion value equal to o3, the Limited Access list and the operator list becomes.

Parameter Promotion Limited Access Operator

- OPEr - o 1 OPEr OPEr

- SP - o 2 SP SP

- SP3 - o 3 SP3 SP3

- A.SP - A 4 A.SP

- AL1 - o 5 AL1 AL1

8 OPERATIVE MODES

As we said at paragraph 6.1, when the instrument is powered, it starts immediately to work according to the memorized parameter value.

In other words, the instrument has one status only, the “run time” status.

During “run time” we can force the instrument to operate in three different modes: Automatic mode, Manual mode or Stand by mode:

– In Automatic mode the instrument drives automatically

the control output according to the parameter value set and the set point/measured value.

– In Manual mode the upper display shows the measured

value while the

middle display shows the power output [preceded by H (for heating) or C (for cooling)], MAN is lit and the instrument allows you to set manually the control output power.

No Automatic action will be made.

– In Stand by mode the instrument operates as an indicator.

It will show on the upper display the measured value and on the middle display the set point alternately to the “St.bY” messages and forces the control outputs to zero.

As we have seen, it is always possible to modify the value assigned to a parameter independently from the operative modes selected.

8.1 Modify a parameter during “Operator level”

The instrument is showing the “standard display”.

1. Press the button.

2. The upper display will show the acronym of the ﬁrst

parameter promoted to this level while the middle display will show its value.

3. By and button assign to this parameter the

desired value.

4. Press the button in order to memorize the new value

and go to the next parameter.

5. When you want to come back to the “standard display”

push the button for more than 5 seconds.

Note: The parameter modiﬁcation of the Operator level

is subject to a time out. If no button is pressed for more than 10 seconds, the instrument goes back to the “standard display” and the new value of the last selected parameter will be lost.

8.2 Enter the “Limited access level”

The instrument is showing the “standard display”.

1. Press the button for more than 5 seconds;

2. The upper display will show PASS while the middle

display will show 0;

3. By and buttons set the value assigned to

[73] PAS2 (Level 2 password).

Notes: 1. The factory default password for conﬁguration

parameters is equal to 20.

2. Operator and assistange level of Parameter modiﬁcation are protected by a time out. If no button is pressed for more than 10 second the instrument comes automatically back to the Standard display, the new value of the last selected parameter is lost and the parameter modiﬁcation procedure is closed.

Page 19

Ascon Tecnologic - KX6 - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 19

When you desire to remove the time out (e.g. for the ﬁrst conﬁguration of an instrument) you can use a password equal to 1000 plus the programmed password (e.g. 1000 + 20 [default] = 1020).

It is always possible to manually End the parameter conﬁguration procedure (see below).

3. During parameter modiﬁcation the instrument continues to perform the control.

In certain conditions (e.g. when a parameter

change can produces a heavy bump to the process) it is advisable to temporarily stop the

controller from controlling during the programming procedure (its control output will be Off). A

password equal to 2000 + the programmed value (e.g. 2000 + 20 = 2020) will switch the control out off during conﬁguration. The control will restart automatically when the para-meter modiﬁcation procedure will be manually ended.

4. Push button.

5. The instrument will show on the upper display the

acronym of the ﬁrst parameter promoted to this level and on the middle display its value.

6. By and buttons assign to this parameter the desired value.

7. Press the button in order to memorize the new value and go to the next parameter.

8. When you want to come back to the “standard display” push the button for more than 5 s.

8.3 How to see but not modify the “Limited access parameters”

Sometime it is necessary to give to the operator the possibility to see the value assigned to the parameter promoted in the Limited Access level but it is important that all changes are made by authorized personnel only.

In this cases, proceed as follows:

1. Press the button for more than 5 seconds;

2. The upper display will show PASS while the middle

display will show 0;

3. By and button set the value -181;

4. Push button;

5. The upper display will show the acronym of the ﬁrst

parameter promoted to the level 2 and middle display will show its value;

6. Using button it is possible to see the value assigned

to all parameter present in level 2 but it will not be possible to modify it;

7. It is possible to come back to the “standard display” by

pushing the button for more than 3 seconds or by pushing no buttons for more than 10 seconds.

8.4 Automatic Mode

8.4.1 Keyboard function when the instrument is in Auto mode

Performs the action programmed by [75] uSrb

( button function during RUN TIME) parameter. Enters the parameter modiﬁcation procedures. Starts the “Direct set point modiﬁcation” function (see

below). Displays the “additional information” (see below).

8.4.2 Direct set point modiﬁcation

This function allows to modify rapidly the set point value selected by [68] A.SP (selection of the active Set point) currently in progress.

The instrument is showing the “standard display”.

1. Push button. The upper display shows the acronym of the selected set point (e.g. SP2) and the middle display will show its value.

2. By and buttons, assign to this parameter the desired value

3. Do not push any button for more than 5 second or push the button.

In both cases the instrument stores the new value and returns to the “standard display”.

Note: If the selected set point has not been promoted to the

Operator level, the instrument allows you to see the value but not to modify it.

8.4.3 Additional information

This instrument is able to show you the power output calculated by the PID.

1. When the instrument is showing the “standard display” push button.

The middle display will show H or c followed by a number. This value is the current power output calculated by the PID. The H show you that the action is a Heating action while the c show you that the action is a Cooling action.

2. Push button again. The instrument returns to the “standard display”.

Note: The additional information visualization is subject to

a time out. If no button is pressed for more than 10 second the instrument comes automatically back to the Standard display.

8.4.4 Display management

This instrument allows you to program (see parameter [67] diS.t the time out of the display.

This function allows to turn OFF the display when no alarm is present and no action is made on the instrument.

When [79] diS.t is different to OFF (display ever ON) and no button is pressed for more than the programmed time out, the display goes OFF and only 4 segments of the less signiﬁcant digit are turned ON in sequence in order to show that the instrument is working correctly.

If an alarm occurs or a button is pressed, the display returns to the normal operation.

Page 20

Ascon Tecnologic - KX6 - ENGINEERING MANUAL - PAG. 20

8.4.5 The display colour shows the Deviation

This instrument allows to program the deviation (PV - SP) for colour display change (see parameter [78] AdE).

In this way the upper display will be:

– Amber when PV is lower than SP - AdE;

– Green when (SP - AdE) < PV<SP + AdE);

– Red when PV is higher than SP + AdE.

8.5 Manual mode

This operative mode allows you to deactivate automatic control and manually set valve position.

When the instrument is in manual mode, the upper display shows the measured value, the middle display shows the power output [preceded by H (for heating action) or C (for cooling action)] while the lower display continue to show the valve position (measured or calculated according to [58] Pot parameter setting).

MAN LED is lit.

When manual control is selected, the instrument will start to operate with the same power output as the last one supplied by automatic mode and it can be modiﬁed using the and

buttons.

Notes: 1. During manual mode, the alarms are operative.

2. If you set manual modes during self-tune

execution, the self- tune function will be aborted.

8.6 Stand by mode

This operative mode also deactivates the automatic control but forces the control output (valve position) to zero.

In this mode the instrument operates as an indicator.

When the instrument is in stand by mode the upper display will show the measured value while the middle display will show alternately the set point and the message “St.bY”.

Notes: 1. During stand by mode, the relative alarms are

disabled while the absolute alarms are operative or not according to the ALxo (Alarm x enabling during Stand-by mode) parameter setting.

2. If you set stand by mode during self-tune execution, the self- tune function will be aborted.

3. When the instrument is swapped from stand by to auto modes, the instrument will start automatically the alarm masking, the soft start functions and the auto-tune (if programmed).

9 ERROR MESSAGES

9.1 Out of range signals

The upper display shows the OVER-RANGE and UNDERRANGE conditions with the following indications:

Over-range Under-range

The sensor break will be signalled as an out of range

Note: When an over-range or an under-range is detected,

the alarms operate as in presence of the maximum or the minimum measurable value respectively.
