FUNCTIONALITY
Operating modes descri pt i on
The device for esees t hr ee different operati ng
modes named:
- Calibration mode
- Configuration mode
- Operativ e m ode
The calibrati on m ode
This operating m ode is detailed in a specific
manual named “RFS Calibration manual”.
The configurati on m ode
During configurati on m ode t he instrument does
not perform the process cont r ol and the alarms
functions.
During configurati on i t is possible to read and
write all the parameters of the instrument .
The instrument configuration can be made by
RS-485 or by a specific tool named CPI.
NOTE the standar d RS-485 and t he CPI are
mutually exclusive and the CPI have the pri or ity
with respect of the RS-485.
The CPI is shipped with a special software aimed
to made the configurat i on procedure very easy.
The CPI and the RFS configuration pr ogr am ar e
described in a specific m anual.
In the chapter “RFS Modbus protocol” you will
find all the information related with the various
parameters (when it can be write or r ead, limi t s ,
and so on).

Enable/disable the control output
When t he i nstrument is in operat ive mode, it i s
possible to disable the control outputs [1504]. In
this open loop mode the device will function as
an indicator, the i nstrument will perform the
measure but all control outputs will be forced to
0.
When t he cont r ol outputs ar e di sabled the
alarms are also in no alarm condition.
If a power down occurs when the control output
is disabled, at instrument power up the cont r ol
output will be automatically disabled.
When t he cont r ol is rest or ed t he instrument
operates as in presence of a power up and the
alarm mask function, if conf igured, will be
activated.
The operative mode
During operative mode the instrument performs
the process control and the alarms management
and all the other special functions (SMART, soft
start, etc.).
During Operative mode it is possible to read and
write a subset of parameters.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS DURING
OPERATIVE MODE
Follows a list of the special functions perform by
this instrument . It aims to help you during
configuration and operat ive mode in order t o
obtain the best perfor m ance f r om this
instrument.
NOTE: in t he f ollowing descriptions two square
brackets are used to define t he M odbus addr ess
of a parameter.
MANUAL function
The MANUAL mode function [1503] allows to set
directly the power output of the instrument .
The transfer f r om AUTO to MANUAL and
viceversa i s bum pless (this function is not
provided if integral action is excluded).
If transfer from AUTO to MANUAL is performed
during the fir st par t of SMART algorithm (TUNE)
when returning in AUTO t he device will be forced
automatically in the second part of the SMART
algorithm (ADAPTIVE).
At power up the device will be in the AUTO mode
or as it was left prior to power shut down
depending on [1521] configurat ion selection.
Note: When start up occurs in Manual mode the
power output (OUT1 - OUT2) is set to 0.
SMART function
It is used to automati cally optimize the control
action.
Page GB 13/51
TITLE: RFS – User Manual170.IU0.RFS.101
When t he SM ART function is enabled, it is
possible to read but not to write the contr ol
parameters (Pb, Ti, Td).
Disabling the SMART function, the instrument
maintains the actual set of contr ol paramet er s
and it enables parameter modification.
NOTES: When ON/OFF cont rol is programmed
(Pb=0), the SMART f unction is
disabled.
Synchronous pre-heating
This function elimi nates differential heating
during machine start up due t o differing heating
rates of indiv idual heaters.
This function oper at e as follows:
At instrument st ar t up all controllers use the first
measured value as initial set point and t han t hey
start a ramp from this set point to the final set
point previously programmed.
All common alarms are set as band alarms and
are connected with the common logic input.
In this way if the measure of one loop goes out
of the tracking band, t he com m on alarm will
close the common logic input and the ramp
execution of all the loops will be hold.
The ramp execution will restart when all
measures come back in the tracki ng band.
In order to obtain this function, set the
instruments as follows:
1) The alarm 3 is a band alarm ([1903] = 2,
[1904] = 0, [1905] = 0, [1906] = 0 and
[1907] = 0)
2) The “operative set point at start up” m ust be
set equal to “aligned to the measured value”
([1410] = 1)
3) The logic input is used for r am p hold
([1301] = 2)
4) The “rate of change for positive set point
variation” [1408] and the “rate of change for
negative set point variation” [ 1409] m ust be
set between 1 and 100 digit per minut e
according with the desired rate of change.
5) The common alarm output is connect ed with
the common logic input.
Sequential address (Modbus) f or f r equently
accessed parameter.
To maximize the data t r ansf er r at es bet ween the
RFS and the host supervisory system im por t ant
operating parameter s ar e gr ouped with
sequential address (see operativ e gr oup [ 900] ) .
To further incr ease dat a t r ansfer efficiency, all
digital status inform at i on ar e transferred as one
data word.
The system enables the RFS to communicate
relevant parameter inf or m ation with a single data
request, not a series of separ at e addr ess
operations.
Energy management at start up
When you turn O N a multi- loops machine where
all loops have the soft start function, at power up
the ON and OFF period of t he cont r ol output of
all loops will be (more or less) synchronous. This
fact produces high current peaks.
These instruments will use their Modbus address
(all addresses are different) in order t o di splace
the ON and OFF period of t he cont r ol output( s) .
This facility signifi cant ly reduces maximum
machine start-up curr ent requirements and offers
potential savings in electrical installation capacity
and cable requirements.
Availability of the not used I/O by serial link
All RFS I/O may be read directly over the
Modbus communication i nt er face by the host
supervisory system. Additionally, the
communication host m ay write t o RFS output s
that are not assigned as alarm or output
functions.
This facility expands avai lable PLC and host
supervisory system I/O, simplifies machine
troubleshooting and provides t he possi bility to
perform remote di agnost i cs.
OFD function – Output failure detection
(optional)
Using the CT input the out put failure detection
function monitor s the current in the load driv en
by the output 1.
Load and actuator protecti on is provided in the
following way:
- During the ON period of t he output, the
instrument measures t he cur r ent through the
load and it generates an alarm condition if t his
current is lower than a pre-programmed
threshold [1206]. A low current shows a partial
or total break down of the load or actuator
SSR.
- During the OFF peri od of t he output, the
instrument measures t he leakage current
through the load and it generates an alarm
condition when this current is higher than a
pre-programmed thr eshold value[1205]. A high

leakage current shows a short circuit of the
actuator.
“Soft start” function
This function allows to gradually warm up the
machine during start up i n or der to delete
thermal strength and to protect t he r aw material.
The energy applied is restricted ( by [1514]) for a
programmable time [1515].

GENERAL NOTES ON T HE M ODBUS RTU PROTO COL
This half duplex protocol accepts one master and one or more slaves.
The physical interface should be of the RS-485 type.
A single multidrop link can take up to 120 devices having the same "High input im pedance" as t he
transceiver used.
The computer must be pr ogrammed to serve as a master controlling which slave has access to the link.
All other slaves are in waiting state. Each slave has a unique address ranging from 1 to 254.
Address "0" is a broadcast one. W hen the master sends a m essage with address "0", all slaves receive it
and no one replies.
NOTE: The numerical value present in this text are expressed as:
- binary value if they are followed by b
- decimal value if they are not followed by any letter
- hexadecimal value if they are followed by h
TRANSMISSION FORMAT
The protocol uses the RTU (Remote terminal unit) mode of transmission.
RTU is a binary method with byte format composed as follows:
1 start bit, 8 data bit, 1 parity bit (optional), 1 stop bit.
The communication speed is selectable among 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 baud.
NOTE: If CPI (Configuration Port Interface) is used the transmission format is fixed
(19200 - 8 bits – No parity) and the address is fixed at 255
The broadcast address (0) is not admitted
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
The communication can be initiated only by the master unit; the slave units can transmit only
after a query has been received from the master.
The general format for the transmission from master to slave is the following:
The slave detects the start of a query frame when the delay time between two characters is
greater than 3.5 T.U. (Time Unit = Time necessary to transmit one character).
Page GB 16/51
TITLE: RFS – User Manual170.IU0.RFS.101
ERROR CHECK (CRC-16 Cyclical Redundancy Check)
The CRC-16 value is calculated by the transmitting device. This value is appended to the
message. The receiving device recalculates a CRC-16 and compares the calculated value to the
received value. The two values must be equal.
The CRC-16 is started by first pre-loading a 16-bit register to all 1's. Then a process begins of
applying successive the bytes of the message to the current contents of the register.
Only the eight bits of data in each character are used for generating the CRC-16. Start and s top
bits, and the parity bit if one is used, do not apply to the CRC-16.
During generation of the CRC-16, each byte is exclusive ORed with the register contents. Then
the result is shifted to the right , with a zero filled into the most signifi cant bit (MSB) position. If the
LSB was a 1, the register is then exclusive ORed with a preset, fixed value. If the LSB was a 0,
no exclusive OR takes place.
This process is repeated until ei ght shifts have been performed. After the last shift, the next byte
is exclusive ORed with the register's current value, and the process repeats for eight more shifts
as described above. The final contents of the register, after all the characters of the message
have been applied, is the CRC-16 value.
A procedure for generating a CRC-16 is:
1) Load a 16-bit register (CRC-16 register) with FFFFh (all 1's).
2) Exclusive OR the first byte of the message with the low byte of the CRC-16
register. Put the result in the CRC-16 register.
3) Shift the CRC-16 register one bit to the right (toward the LSB), zero-filling the
MSB. Extract and examine the LSB.
4) (If the LSB was 0): Repeat Step 3 (another shift).
(If the LSB was 1): Exclusive OR the CRC-16 register with the polynomial
value A001h (1010 0000 0000 0001b).
5) Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until 8 shifts have been performed. When this is done,
a complete byte will have been processed.
6) Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the next byte of the message.
Continue doing this until all bytes have been processed.
7) The final contents of the CRC-16 register is the CRC-16 value.
When the CRC-16 (16 bytes) is transmitted in the message, the low byte
will be transmitted first, followed by the high byte.

NOTES
6. Operative mode
1. "Broadcast" address
When using the writing codes (5, 6, 15 and
16) the slave address 0 is permitted: in this
case all the slaves c onnected accept the
command but do not give any reply.
2. Words format
Every time the information transfer is
performed by using 2 bytes (1 word of 16
bits), the first byte transmitted is the most
significant one. For the negative numbers
the "two complement" format is used.
3. Reply time
The slave will start to send a reply from 2 ms
to 700 ms after the end of the request
detected by counting the received bytes.
4. Decimal digits
The decimal point that may be present in the
value is ignored.
Example:
The value 204.6 is transmitted as 2046
(07FEh)
The value -12.50 is transmitted as -1250
(FB1Eh)
The number of decimal digits, if significant,
is stated for each parameter (see the DEC
column in the parameters tables).
Some parameters have a variable number of
decimal digits according to the configuration,
as described below:
PVnumber of decimal digits apply on
process variable [1105]
CTnumber of decimal digits apply on
current transformer read-out [1211]
OPnumber of dec imal digits apply on
output power [1524]
5. Local/remote status
In this controller, unlike other Ero Electronic
devices, the “Local/remote status” setting
isn’t required. This means that the master
unit can modify any parameters without set
any local/remote status bit, moreover no “3
seconds timeout” will be applied.
"Operative mode" indicates the normal
functioning status of the device (controlle r).
In operative mode the master can read the
whole parameters; the device returns 8000h
for the meaningless one (for example: the
threshold of a not configured alarm).
The write operation is allowed only for a
restricted number of parameters (for
example: isn’t permitted to change the input
configuration). In operative mode the
controller checks the write data to be within
the allowable limits (for example: the main
set point must be inside the set point low
and high limits).
7. Configuration mode
“Configuration mode” is intended to set-up
the device, then the controller doesn’t work.
In configuration mode the master can read
and write the whole parameters.
In configuration mode, unlike the operative
mode, the device returns always a value for
each parameters, even for the meaningless
one; this is intended to clone exactly the unit.
Moreover, no check is done by the device
receiving parameters; it’s under the
responsibility of the master to send a valid
set of parameters. If the master fails to follow
the above rule, it will be impossible to switch
the controller in operative mode until the
whole set of parameters will be valid.
8. Read / write access permissions
The access permissions are stated for each
parameter in the description tables by
means of two columns named “read” and
“write” according the following meaning:
Oaccess allowed in operative mode
Caccess allowed in configuration mode
Lacc ess allowed in calibration mode
Faccess allowed in factory test mode
9. Software key for lock/unlock control
parameters

11. Communication parameters at start
Due to the lack of frontal panel, no one
protection scheme is available for this
device.
up.
When it is desired to regain the control of an
instrument with an unknown set of
communication parameter, you can operate
in two different way:
10. Add ress space
The whole variables are addressable as
word as well as bit; the user may choose the
better way according to the condition.
Although we suggest to manage analog
variables as words and boolean variables as
bits, below is described the behavior to
access analog variables (example: alarm
11.1. Make us e of the CPI adapter. The
instrument automatically recognizes the
CPI adapter and it will use the following
communication parameter set:
- Address = 255
- Baud rate = 19200
- Bite format = 8 bit without parity
NOTE: this is a fixed parameters set and
it is not configurable.
threshold) as bits and boolean variables
(example: alarm status) as words.
-Reading analog variables as bits: if the
variable is not relevant in the actual
device configuration (word value 8000h)
or if the value is zero the bit is reset,
otherwise the bit is set.
-Writing analog variables as bits: the reset
bit means 0000h, the set bit means
0001h.
-Reading boolean variables as words: a
reset variable is reported as 0000h, a set
one is reported as 0001h.
-
Writing boolean variables as words: send
0000h to reset the variable, send a value
different from 0000h and 8000h to set
11.2. At power up the instrument will start
using the same communication
parameter set used in presence of the
CPI adapter.
- If the instrument receives a correct
Modbus request within the first 3
seconds, it will continue to operate
with the same communication
parameters.
- If, during the 3 seconds time-out, the
instrument doesn’t receive a correct
request, it will set-up the
communication interface with the
parameter values previously
programmed.

TITLE: RFS – User Manual170.IU0.RFS.101
ERROR REPLY
If the "error check" is wrong or the function code is not implemented or a buffer overflow has
been received, the slave does not send any reply to the master.
If other errors are detected in the request or command frame, or the slave cannot reply with the
requested values or it cannot accept the requested sets bec ause it i s in error c ondition, the s lave
replies by forcing at "1" the bit 7 of the received "Function code" byte followed by an error code.
2Illegal data address
3Illegal data value
9Illegal number of data required
10The parameter indicated cannot be modi fied
or command cannot be executed
Error 2 is issued only when the whole addresses involved in a read or write operation are not
implemented on the device.

Number of decimal figures for the CT
measurement
The resolution of the CT measurement is as
follow:
-
0.1 A for CT range lower than 20 A
1211
-
1 A for CT range higher than 20 A
So that:
- When [1210] parameter is lower than 20 (A),
the [1211] parameter will be equal to 1
- When [1210] parameter is higher than 20 (A),
the [1211] parameter will be equal to 0
Note: CT alarm and Alarm 2 are in OR condition driving the output 3.

In order to make clear the result of different set of the various parameter, we have added the
following diagram.

[1402]
NOTE: the main SP (1403) is a value memorized in EEPROM while the main volatile SP (1404)
is a value memorized in RAM. For this reason, when you make a profile setting the set point
value by serial link (e.g. with a supervisory system), it is advisable to use the main volatile SP,
instead of the main SP (the EEPROM has a limited number of write actions allowed while the
RAM has no limit).
NOTE 2
Parameters [1413], [1414] and [1415] allow you to increase or decrease a set point without
knowing the current set point value.
This solution allows you to modify of the same quantity the set point (Main set point, volatile set
point or auxiliary set point respectively) of different instruments at the same time.

DESCRIPTION
Alarm 3 action
Range:
0 = Direct action (relay energized in
alarm condition)
1 = Reverse action (relay
de-energized in alarm condition)
Note:
Available only if AL3 is configured
Alarm 3 stand-by (mask) function
Range:
0 = No standby function
1 = Standby function
Notes:
1) Available only if AL3 is configured
2) If the alarm is programmed as band or
deviation alarm, this function masks
the alarm condition after a set point
change or at the instrument start-up
until the process variable reaches the
alarm threshold plus or minus
hysteresis.
If the alarm is programmed as a
process alarm, this function m asks
the alarm condition at inst r um ent
start-up until process var i able reaches
the alarm threshold plus or minus
hysteresis.

When you set a new value, it will become
operative aft er an instrument resets or r em oving
the CPI. If you made a request before the reset
the device will reply the new value but it continue
to use the old one.
Keep attention to the dat a set because at the
instrument start-up, if incompat i ble data are
found, the serial line will be set with fixed
parameters:
