Wiring Power to Controllers
• Be sure to use the rated power supply voltage and polarity for the unit to protect it against damage and to prevent the occurrence of failure.
• Keep the power off until all of the wiring is completed to prevent electric shock and abnormal operation.
• Keep the power supply wires separated from the input and output wires.
• Power connections should be made with 18-gauge or larger insulat­ed wire. Stranded wire improves noise immunity. Noise filters and isolation transformers are recommended in case of noisy power lines.
• When the Heater Break option is selected, use the same power line for both the controller and the heater.
Wiring Inputs
There are two input categories available: Thermocouple/RTD or cur­rent/voltage. Make sure you have the right type before wiring the inputs. Refer to Table of Input Type Codes and set the parameter “P-n2” accordingly.
Note: In order to minimize the risk of high frequency noise induced by coils and windings in relays, solenoids, and transformers, use leads which have braided sheath and ground one end of the sheath. Keep your input leads separate from power and output leads. If you have to bring the input signal from a long distance, a signal transmitter might be needed to maintain an accurate reading; in this case, a unit

that accepts current/voltage input would be necessary.
Thermocouple
• Connect thermocouples directly to the input terminals whenever possible.
• If using extension wires, make sure they are of the same thermocou­ple material and grade; any dissimilar metal junctions will lead to erroneous readings.
• Ungrounded thermocouples are recommended for optimal perfor­mance and to prevent ground loops.
• Make sure the polarity is correct.
RTD Pt100
• Use a 3-wire Pt100RTD whenever possible. All three wires must have low lead resistance (less than 10) and no resistance differen­tials among them.
• If using a 2-wire RTD, jumper the two B-legs with a wire of equal resistance.
• Make sure A and B leads are connected to the right terminals.
Current/Voltage
• The controller accepts 1-5V, 0-5V, 4-20mA, and 0-20mA DC signals. If wiring for a voltage input, feed the signal directly to the input termi­nals. For current inputs, first connect the 250precision resistor that comes with the unit.
• Make sure the polarity is correct.

Wiring Outputs
Before wiring the outputs, make sure the unit has the right kind of control output, and that all the load handling devices conform to the controller specifications. Note that it takes 5 seconds for the outputs to activate after the power is turned on. Refer to parameter “P-n1” and to the Table of Output Type Codes to choose the preferred type of control action– reverse acting or direct acting. If using two outputs in a heat/cool type control, please refer to Appendix D for more details.
Relay
• Connecting a load to full capacity of the relay will shorten the relay life, especially if it is operated at a rapid rate. To protect the output relay, an external relay or a contactor should be used. If a higher current rating is required, a solid-state relay driver type output is recommended.
• Connect the load between the normally opened contacts of the relay.This way, if power to the controller is disrupted, the output circuit would open, preventing the load from running out of control.
• Set the proportional time cycle parameter, “TC” to 30 secs. or more.
• Use of “Z-trap” (manufacturer: Fuji Electric Co.) is recommended to protect the relay against switching surges and to ensure the prod­uct’s long life. Connect it between the contacts of the relay as shown in the example.
Part No.: ENC241D-05A
(power supply voltage: 100V)
ENC471D-05A (power supply voltage: 200V)
SSR/SSC Driver (Pulsed DC Voltage)
• The non-isolated DC output is used to drive an external load-han­dling device such as Solid-State Relay(SSR) or Solid-State Contactor(SSC).
• The total current drawn, for both single and dual outputs, should be within the allowed value.
• Make sure the polarity is correct.
• Set the proportional time cycle parameter, “TC” to 1 sec. or more.
4 to 20mA DC
• The output is a non-isolated analog signal used to drive a variety of output devices such as SCRs and valve actuators.
• The load resistance must be less than 600Ω.
• Make sure the polarity is correct.
• The proportional time cycle parameter, “TC” is set to 0, and is not displayed on the programming menu.
Wiring Alarms

FRONT PANEL OPERATION

The PXZ controller programming menu consists of two blocks— PRIMARY (SETPOINT) MENU and SECONDARY (SYSTEM) MENU. At power up, the controller will be in the operational mode– process variable (PV), in the case of PXZ4, and both process variable and set­point variable (SV), in the case of PXZ-5, 7, 9 will be displayed. PV is the variable that is being controlled, and it is not programmable. When setting the parameters, turn off the power to the load (operat­ing equipment) to ensure safety. Since it takes 30 minutes for the unit to stabilize in terms of temperature, all measurements should be car­ried out at least 30 minutes after the power is turned on. Option-relat­ed features are displayed only when the options are provided.
Viewing and Setting Parameters
After setting the data, press ENT key for registration.

AUTOTUNING

Before initiating the autotune function, first decide if you would like to autotune at setpoint or 10% of full scale below setpoint. Set the setpoint (SV), alarms (AL, AH) and the cycle time (TC). Bring your process near setpoint before starting the autotune procedure.
Set the parameter AT to either “1”(to autotune at setpoint) or “2” (to autotune at 10% of full scale below setpoint) and press ENT key to start auto-tuning. The point indicator at lower right will then start blinking. When the auto-tuning is completed, the point indicator stops blinking and the parameter AT will automatically be set to “0.”
Duration of the autotune process varies with every application. The auto-tuning process may take between 1 and 30 minutes to complete. If it fails to complete, an abnormality may be suspected. In this case, recheck the wiring, control action, and input type code. Refer to page 16 and Appendix A for additional details.
The PID parameters calculated by autotuning will be retained even if the power is lost. However, if the power is turned off during the auto­tuning process, you must restart autotuning. To abort the autotune procedure, set AT to “0.” Auto-tuning has to be repeated if there is a significant change in SV, P-SL or P-SU, or in the controlled process. Autotuning can also be performed while fuzzy control is selected.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
- SV Main Setpoint Variable: The main setpoint variable is
the control point you wish to maintain. The main set­point variable is set within the input range, between the (P-SL) and the (P-SU) settings.
ProG Ramp/Soak Command: The Ramp/Soak program auto-
matically changes the setpoint value with time in accordance with a preset pattern. ProG switches the operation modes. Setting: oFF : Normal operation is performed
rUn : Ramp/Soak operation is performed hLd : Ramp/Soak operation is suspended
P Proportional Band: The proportional band is that area
around main setpoint where the control output is nei­ther fully on nor fully off. Setting range: 0.0 to 999.9% of full scale For On/Off control, set to “0”
I Integral Time (reset): The Integral Time is the speed at
which a corrective increase or decrease in output is made to compensate for offset which usually accom­panies proportional only processes. The more Integral Time entered, the slower the action. The less Integral Time entered, the faster the action. Enter as little Integral Time as necessary to eliminate offset without overcompensating resulting in process oscillation. Setting Range: 0 to 3200 secs Integral Action is turned off when set to “0”
d Derivative Time (Rate): The Derivative Time is that time
used in calculating rate of change and thermal lag in helping eliminate overshoot which results in response to process upsets. This overshoot usually accompanies proportional only and proportional-integral processes. The derivative action dampens proportional and inte­gral action as it anticipates where the process should be. The more Derivative Time entered, the more damp­ing action. The less Derivative Time entered, the less damping action. Enter as much Derivative Time as nec­essary to eliminate overshoot without over-damping the process resulting in process oscillation. Setting Range: 0 to 999.9 secs Derivative Action is disabled when set to “0”
Page 10
HYS Hysteresis: The Hysteresis is that area around the main
setpoint where the output does not change condition. That area or deadband is intended to eliminate relay chatter at setpoint for On/Off control applications. The wider the Hysteresis, the longer it takes for the con­troller to change output condition. The narrower the Hysteresis, the less time the controller takes to change output condition. When the Hysteresis is narrow, the On/Off control is more accurate but the wear on the output relay is increased. Enter a value which is small enough to meet the control tolerance of the application but large enough to eliminate relay chatter. Setting range: 0 to 50% of full scale, set in E.U. Hysteresis for On/Off action on dual outputs (heating and cooling) is fixed at 0.5% of full scale.
Hb Heater Break Alarm Setpoint: If the heater’s operating
current falls below this setpoint, the heater break alarm output relay is energized. This option is used in cases where the PXZ is controlling a bank of heaters wired in parallel. A current transformer around the hot lead going to the heater bank and connected to the controller is tied with the controller’s output and sens­es the current used by the heater bank. If one or more of the zones burnout, resulting in cold spots, the cur­rent used by the defective heater bank is reduced. By determining what the optimal current and the optimal current minus one zone for the heater bank is, the Heater Break Alarm setpoint can be calculated and entered. Setting Range: 0 to 50 amps. Not indicated without the Heater Break Alarm output option. Not available on PXZ4, or with 4-20 mA DC outputs. Detection is made only on a single-phase heater. This function cannot be used when controlling a heater with SCR phase-angle control. Cycle Time, “TC,” must be set at 6 secs. or higher Refer to Appendix C for more details.
AL Low Alarm Setpoint: The Low Alarm Setpoint is that
point of the process below which, the low alarm output relay is energized. If the alarm type, programmed in the secondary menu, includes an absolute value for the Low Alarm Setpoint, enter the actual value you want the alarm to be activated at regardless of what the main setpoint is set for. If the alarm type includes a deviation value for the Low Alarm Setpoint, enter the number of units below main setpoint in which you want the alarm to be activated at; the deviation alarm tracks main setpoint. Settable within the Input Range. Not indicated without the alarm option.
AH High Alarm Setpoint: The High Alarm Setpoint is that
point of the process above which, the high alarm out­put relay is energized. If the alarm type, programmed in the secondary menu, includes an absolute value for the High Alarm Setpoint, enter the actual value you want the alarm to be activated at regardless of what the main setpoint is set for. If the alarm type includes a deviation value for the High Alarm Setpoint, enter the number of units above main setpoint in which you want the alarm to be activated at; the deviation alarm tracks main setpoint. Settable within the Input Range. Not indicated without the alarm option.
TC Cycle Time (Output #1): The Cycle Time for output #1 is
that time where the output is on for a percentage of that time and off for a percentage of that time, creating a proportioning effect. The Cycle Time is only used when the PXZ is used as a P, PI, PD, or PID controller and when the output is time proportional as with the relay or SSR/SSC drive outputs. The shorter the Cycle Time, the higher the proportioning resolution is, and better is the control, but there will be an increased strain on the output device. Enter a value that is based on the limitations of your controller’s output type. Setting range: 1 to 150 secs. For relay output: Set to 30 secs or more For SSR/SSC drive output: Set to 1 sec or more For current output: Set to 0. (normally not indicated).

AT Autotuning: Autotuning is the automatic calculation
and
entering of the control parameters (P, I and D) into memory. The PXZ will autotune both reverse and direct acting control applications. Autotuning will also auto­matically set anti-reset wind-up (Ar). There are two types of Autotuning that can be performed by the con­troller, Autotuning at main setpoint or Autotuning at 10% of full scale below main setpoint. Autotuning at 10% of full scale below main setpoint may yield slightly differ­ent values, not as precise, but the process overshoot encountered during the autotuning procedure would not be as great. Enter the value for the type of autotun­ing you would like to run on your particular application based on overshoot tolerances and the precision of the PID parameters needed. For more information on princi­ples of Autotuning, refer to Appendix A. See also page
9. Setting: 0 - Autotuning off 1 - Autotuning performed at setpoint 2 - Autotuning performed at 10% of full scale
below setpoint
TC-2 Cycle Time (Output #2) The Cycle Time for output #2 is
that time where the output is on for a percentage of that time and off for a percentage of that time, creating a proportioning effect. Output #2 is the cooling side of a heat/cool PXZ controller. A shorter cycle time provides higher proportioning resolution and better control but causes increased strain on the output device. Enter a value that is based on the limitations of your con­troller’s output type. Setting Range: 1 to 150 secs. For relay output: Set to 30 secs or more For SSR/SSC drive output: Set to 1 sec or more For current output: Set to 0 (normally not indicated). Not indicated without the control output #2 option.
CooL Proportional Band Coefficient for Cooling: The
Proportional Band Coefficient for Cooling is a multiplier for the proportional band on the cooling side of a heat/cool PXZ controller. It varies the width of the pro­portional band on the cooling side. A large value would establish a larger proportional band for more powerful cooling loads. A small value would establish a smaller proportional band for less powerful cooling loads. Enter a value based on the power of your cooling load.
Setting Range: 0.0 to 100.0 Not indicated without control output #2 option. Set to “0” for On/Off control.

db Deadband/Overlap: The Deadband/Overlap is that per-
centage of the heating side of the proportional band where the heating (output #1) and the cooling (output #2) outputs are separated by a Deadband or where they Overlap on a heat/cool PXZ controller. A value greater than zero establishes a Deadband or area where neither the heating nor cooling outputs are energized for more powerful heating and cooling loads. A value less than zero establishes an Overlap or area where both the heating and cooling outputs are ener­gized at the same time for less powerful heating and cooling loads. Enter a value based on the power of your heating and cooling loads as well as the applica­tion’s efficiency in maintaining tight heat/cool control. Setting range: -50.0 to 50.0% of the heating proportion­al band. Not indicated without control output #2 option
bAL Balance: Balance is used to pre-position the propor-
tional band with respect to setpoint. With Balance (MV Offset) set at 50% the proportional band will be cen­tered around setpoint. To move the band left or right, decrease or increase the balance setting respectively. Setting range: 0-100%
Ar Anti-Reset Wind-up: Anti-Reset is used to limit the
range where integration occurs. This helps in stabiliz­ing a system. With Anti-Reset at 100%, integration will occur throughout the proportional band. With Anti­Reset set to 90%, integration will occur at 90% of the band above the setpoint and 90% of the band below the setpoint. Autotuning automatically sets Ar. Setting range: 0-100% of full scale, set in E.U.

STAT Ramp/Soak Status: The Ramp/Soak program automati-
cally changes the setpoint value with time in accor­dance with a preset pattern, as shown in the figure below. This device allows a maximum of four ramp and four soak segments. Ramp is the region in which SV changes toward the target value. Soak is the region in which the target value is maintained. STAT displays the current ramp/soak status.

SECONDARY MENU SETTINGS

P-n1 Control Action & Sensor Burn-out Protection: The
Control Action is the direction of the output relative to the process variable. The PXZ can be programmed as either a reverse or direct acting controller. As a reverse acting controller, the PXZ’s output decreases as the process variable increases. A heating application would require reverse acting control. As a direct acting con­troller, the PXZ’s output increases as the process vari­able increases. A cooling application would require direct acting control. Enter the code from the Table of Output Type Codes which establishes the PXZ as either a reverse or direct acting controller.
The Sensor Burn-out Protection is the intended direc­tion of the output in the event of a thermocouple or RTD sensor break, or a break in the analog input. The PXZ can be programmed with either upper-limit or lower­limit burn-out direction. With Upper-limit Burn-out, a 100% output will be delivered in the event of a sensor burn-out. With Lower-limit Burn-out, 0% output will be delivered in the event of a sensor burn-out. Enter the appropriate code from the Table of Output Type Codes.
Refer to Error Messages on page 15 for more details.
P-n2 Input type: The Input Type is the type of sensor to be
used with the PXZ controller in sensing the process variable. The Input Type must be correctly programmed into the controller in order for the controller to perform with the selected sensor type. Depending on the type of sensor to be used, the PXZ comes in two models. One model accepts J, K, R, B, S, T, E, N thermocouples and RTDs (Pt100). The other model accepts 1-5/0-5V DC and 4-20/0-20mA DC signals. The current/voltage model comes with a 250Ω precision resistor. Wired directly to the controller, it would con­vert a current signal into a voltage signal. There is no need to use the resistor if a voltage signal is applied directly. After the appropriate physical changes have been made, the controller still needs the correct code for the Input Type to be used. Enter the appropriate code.
Table of Output Type Codes
P-dF Input Filter Constant: The Input Filter is used to filter
out the quick changes that occur to the process vari­able in a dynamic or quick responding application which makes the PXZ control erratically. By slowing down the response time, the PXZ controller averages out the peaks and valleys of a dynamic system which, in turn, stabilizes the control. The Digital Filter also aids the PXZ in controlling processes where the elec­trical noise is affecting the input signal. The larger the value entered, the more filter added and the slower the controller reacts to process variable changes. The smaller the value entered, the less filter added and the quicker the controller reacts to process variable changes. Enter as small a value as possible at which the PXZ maintains accurate and stable control. Setting range: 0.0-900.0 secs
P-SL Lower Limit of Input Range: P-SU Upper Limit of Input Range: The Lower Limit and the
Upper Limit of Input Range establish the desired high and low limit for the type of input used. The Lower limit must be greater than or equal to the input type’s lower limit, while the Upper Limit must be less than or equal to the input type’s upper limit. Setpoint settings are restricted to values between P-SL and P-SU. Parameter values that are calculated as a percentage of full scale are affected by these settings. An under­scale or an overscale error is indicated if the process value goes below or above the range by 5% of full scale. The primary purpose of these parameters when used with thermocouple or RTD inputs is to limit set­point settings. When an analog input is used, the sig­nal is scaled for the engineering unit range selected. For example, when a 4-20 mA input is used, the value of P-SL corresponds to 4mA and the value of P-SU corresponds to 20 mA. The engineering unit range could be %, PSI, pH, or any range which can be scaled between -1999 and 9999 units. Refer to the Table of Input Type Codes above to deter­mine the measuring range for a particular input type.

Point Position is the resolution at which the PXZ con­troller displays the process variable and other para­meter values. The PXZ can indicate integers, tenths or hundredths of a unit. The Decimal Point Position does not increase the accuracy of the controller, it only increases the resolution. For a thermocouple, integers are usually sufficient due to the accuracy rating and the programmed input range. For a RTD (Pt100), inte­gers or tenths of a degree may be entered, because of the increased accuracy of these sensors, depending on the programmed input range. For a 1-5/0-5V DC or 4-20/0-20mA DC signal, integers, tenths or hundredths of a unit may be entered depending on the pro-

P-AL Alarm Type 2: P-AH Alarm Type 1: This function sets the control action for
the optional alarm output relays. The PXZ5, 7, and 9 comes with two relays while the PXZ4 comes with one. They can be programmed for absolute, deviation, combination, or zone alarm configuration. The high and low alarm setpoints are set with primary menu parameters AH and AL. The absolute alarm configura­tions are independent of main setpoint. The alarm out­put relays are energized when the process variable exceeds the alarm setpoint, an absolute value. The deviation alarm configuration is main setpoint track­ing. The alarm output relays are energized when the process variable exceeds the main setpoint by a devi­ation value set by AL or AH. The combination alarm configurations are a mixture of both the deviation and absolute value settings for the high and low alarms. With zone alarm configurations the alarm output is energized between the range set by AL and AH. One of the alarm types is Alarm with Hold. In this case the alarm is not turned on the first time the measured value is in the alarm band. Instead it turns on only when the measured value goes out of the band and enters it again. This type is useful when using devia­tion alarm with step type input. Enter the code for P-AH and P-AL from the Table of Alarm Action Type Codes.
Note 1: A change of alarm action type can cause the alarm set value to change, but this is not a malfunction. Note 2: After the alarm type is changed, turn off the power to the unit once.

PVOF Process Variable Offset: The Process variable Offset
is the amount by which the indicated process variable is shifted in a positive or negative direction. Both the indicated as well as the measured process variable will be changed. This parameter can be used to cor­rect for differences in sensors, sensor placement, and standardization problems. Enter a value which is the difference between the measured process value and the actual process value of the system. Setting range: -10 – 10% of full scale, set in Eng. units
SVOF Setpoint Variable Offset: The Setpoint Variable Offset
is that amount of offset which shifts the measured set­point variable in a positive or negative direction. The measured setpoint variable is changed but the indicat­ed setpoint variable remains unchanged. Be careful when using this variable because what you see as the setpoint variable may be very different from the actual setpoint variable. Setting range: -50 – 50% of full scale, set in Eng. units Indicated Setpoint Variable is Unchanged Measured Setpoint Variable is Changed
P-F C/F Selection: The C/F Selection is that function which
scales the process variable and other setting variables to either the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale. If using the controller to control a process other than temperature using the current/voltage input model, the C/F Selection is not important because the scaling is done using the lower limit of the input range and upper limit of input range parameters. If using the thermocouple/RTD (Pt100) input model, however, the C/F Selection is important in scaling the controller’s parameters. Setting: °C or °F
FUZY Fuzzy Logic Control: Employing Fuzzy Logic Control in
addition to PID control eliminates system overshoot and effectively suppresses fluctuation of the process variable due to external disturbances. This function may be enabled even during auto-tuning. Note that fuzzy control is not effective in units with dual outputs, due to the complexity of the process. Fuzzy control is also inhibited while the Ramp/Soak function is in oper­ation.
ADJ0 Input Calibration: This function is used for input cali ADJS bration by the user in a simple manner. Calibration is
effected by applying signal for zero and span points of the input range being used and then by setting errors. The user calibration function is an independent func­tion and the instrument can easily be reset to condi­tions prior to delivery.
Example:
Input range 0-400°C Indication at 0°C : -1°C Indication at 400°C: 402°C Change ADJ0 to 1 and ADJS to -2 to correct the error. The instrument can be set back to factory values by setting ADJ0 and ADJS to 0.
dSP1 Parameter Mask function: This function is used to indi-
to to vidually mask the display of parameters that are not
dSP7 used for your application, or parameters that are not
to be accessed by the operator. To mask or unmask a parameter appropriate values should be selected from the DSP Assignment table.
Example 1:
To mask parameter P
1) Determine the dSP value for P from the Quick Reference guide. P = dSP1 – 2
2) Add 2 to the existing dSP1 value.
Example 2:
To display/unmask the parameter P-F
1) Determine the dSP value for P-F from the Quick Reference guide. P-F = dSP6 – 64
2) Subtract 64 from the existing dSP6 value.

APPENDIX A

Autotuning
By autotuning, the controller selects what it calculates to be the opti­mal PID control parameters for a particular process and then stores them in EEPROM memory for future use. The PID parameters are stored so that when the controller is powered up after being shut down, the controller does not need to be autotuned again. The PXZ uses the same autotuned PID parameters until the Autotune function is again initiated. The Autotune parameters are only good for the process the Autotune function was used on. If the setpoint is signifi­cantly changed, the input sensor is changed, the load or output device is changed or relocated, or any other disturbances occur which might change the dynamics of the system, the Autotune func­tion should be performed again. The autotuned control parameters are not always perfect for every application but almost always give the operator a good starting point from which further refinement of the control parameters can be performed manually.
The PXZ’s autotuning algorithm is particularly suited for temperature control applications and may not always autotune effectively for other processes. Here are cases where the Autotune function does not per­form well or does not perform at all:
1. The system is affected by process disturbances external to the control loop. Adjacent heater zones, changing material levels, exothermic reactions are examples of process disturbances which are external to the control loop. The PXZ would never be able to autotune such an unstable process.
2. The system is very dynamic. The process variable changes very quickly. Certain pressure and flow applications would be charac­terized as very dynamic. Because of how the Autotune function is performed, a very dynamic system would create very large over­shoots which could damage the process.
3. The system is very insulated and cannot cool down in a timely manner. With such heating systems the autotuning function would take a very long time to complete with questionable results.
In Autotune, the PXZ sends test signals to the process. The test sig­nals are 100% output and 0% output at the Autotune point. The Autotune point can either be at setpoint or 10% of full scale below setpoint.. The controller performs as an On/Off controller. See diagram below.
16
K
e
-LS
(1+TS)
The PXZ then reads the reaction of these test signals on the process. Keep in mind that every process is different and therefore every reac­tion to the test signals is different. This is why PID parameters are not the same for different processes. The amplitude (L) or lag time which is the overshoot and undershoot of the system when autotuning and the time constant (T) which is the time the process takes to go through one On/Off cycle is measured. See diagram below.
The measurements are then used with the Autotune algorithm for cal­culation of the proper PID parameters for the system. See the PXZ Autotune algorithm below, where K is the proportionality constant and S is the Laplace operator.

Manual Tuning
Tune the PXZ controller if any of the following occurs:
PXZ is installed in a new system
PXZ is used as a replacement in an existing system
The input sensor is relocated or changed
The output device is relocated or changed
The setpoint is significantly changed
Any other condition that will alter the dynamics of the system
Proportional Band
The proportional band is a band around the setpoint of the PXZ where the output is between 0% and 100%. The percentage of output is pro­portional to the amount of error between the setpoint variable (SV) and the process variable (PV). Outside of the proportional band the output is either 0% or 100% The proportional band on the PXZ is equidistant from the main set­point as illustrated below.
An example of proportioning would be a vehicle approaching a stop sign at an intersection. If the driver were traveling at 50mph and only applied his brakes once at the intersection, his car would skid through the intersection before coming to a full stop. This illustrates how On/Off control acts. If, however, the driver started slowing down some distance before the stop sign and continued slowing down at some rate, he could conceivably come to a full stop at the stop sign. This illustrates how proportional control acts. The distance where the speed of the car goes from 50 to 0 MPH illustrates the proportional band. As you can see, as the car travels closer to the stop sign, the speed is reduced accordingly. In other words, as the error or distance between the car and the stop sign becomes smaller, the output or speed of the car is proportionally diminished. Figuring out when the vehicle should start slowing down depends on many variables such as speed, weight, tire tread, and braking power of the car, road condi­tions, and weather much like figuring out the proportional band of a control process with its many variables.
The width of the proportional band depends on the dynamics of the system. The first question to ask is, how strong must my output be to eliminate the error between the setpoint variable and process vari­able? The larger the proportional band (low gain), the less reactive the process. A proportional band too large, however, can lead to process wandering or sluggishness. The smaller the proportional band (high gain), the more reactive the output becomes. A proportion-
17
al band too small, however, can lead to over-responsiveness leading to process oscillation.
A proportional band which is correct in width approaches main set­point as fast as possible while minimizing overshoot. If a faster approach to setpoint is desired and process overshoot is not a prob­lem, a smaller or narrower proportional band may be used. This would establish an over-damped system or one where the output would change greatly, proportional to the error. If process overshoot cannot be tolerated and the approach to setpoint does not have to be quick, a larger or wider proportional band may be used. This would establish an under-damped system or one where the output would change little, proportional to the error.
Integral Time
With the proportional band alone, the process tends to reach equilib­rium at some point away from the main setpoint. This offset is due to the difference between the output needed to maintain setpoint and the output of the proportional band at setpoint. In the case of the PXZ controller where the proportional band is equidistant from the main setpoint, the output is around 50%. If anything more or less than 50% output is required to maintain setpoint, an offset error will occur. Integral action eliminates this offset. See the diagrams below.
Integral action eliminates offset by adding to or subtracting from the output of the proportional action alone. This increase or decrease in output corrects for offset error within the proportional band in estab­lishing steady-state performance at setpoint. It is not intended to cor­rect for process disturbances. See the following diagram.

Tuning
Tuning the PXZ, as with any PID loop, requires tuning each parameter separately and in sequence. To achieve good PID control manually, you can use the trial and error method explained below.
Tune the Proportional Band
Set Integral Time = 0 (off)
Set Derivative Time = 0 (off) Start with a large Proportional Band value which gives very sluggish control with noticeable offset and tighten by decreasing the value in half. Analyze the process variable. If the control is still sluggish, tight­en by decreasing the value in half again. Continue with the same pro­cedure until the process starts to oscillate at a constant rate. Widen the Proportional Band by 50%, or multiply the setting 1.5 times. From a cold start, test and verify that the Proportional Band allows maximum rise to setpoint while maintaining minimum overshoot and offset. If not completely satisfied, fine-tune the value, up or down, as needed and test until correct. The Proportional Band is now tuned.
Add Integral Time
Start with a large Integral Time value which gives very sluggish response to process offset and tighten by decreasing the value in half. Analyze the process variable. If the response to process offset is still sluggish, tighten by decreasing the value in half again. Continue with the same procedure until the process starts to oscillate at a con­stant rate. Increase the Integral Time value by 50%, or multiply the setting 1.5 times. From a cold start, test and verify that the Integral Time allows maximum elimination of offset with minimum overshoot. If not completely satisfied, fine-tune the value, up or down, as needed and test until correct. The Integral Time is now tuned.
Add Derivative Time
Do not add Derivative Time if the system is too dynamic. Start with a small Derivative Time value which gives sluggish response to process upsets and double the value. Analyze the process variable. If the response to process upsets is still sluggish, double the value again. Continue with the same procedure until the process starts to oscillate at a quick constant rate. Decrease the Derivative Time value by 25%. From a cold start, test and verify that the Derivative Time value allows maximum response to process disturbances with minimum overshoot. If not completely satisfied, fine-tune the value, up or down, as needed and test until correct. Note that the Derivative Time value is usually somewhere around 25% of the Integral Time value.
Another tuning method is the closed-loop cycling or Zeigler-Nichols method. According to J.G. Zeigler and N.B. Nichols, optimal tuning is achieved when the controller responds to a difference between set­point and the process variable with a 1/4 wave decay ratio. That is to say that the amplitude of each successive overshoot is reduced by 3/4 until stabilizing at setpoint. The procedure is explained below.
1. Integral Time=0
Derivative Time=0
2. Decrease the Proportional Band to the point where a constant rate
of oscillation is obtained. This is the response frequency of the system. The frequency is different for each process.
3. Measure the Time Constant which is the time to complete one cycle
of the response frequency. The Time Constant will be defined as
“T” when calculating Integral and Derivative Times.
Integral Time is the speed at which the controller corrects for offset. A short integral time means the controller corrects for offset quickly. If the integral time is too short, the controller would react before the effects of previous output shifts, due to dead time or lag, could be sensed causing oscillation. A long Integral time means the control corrects for offset over a long time. If the integral time is too long, the offset will remain for some time causing slow responding or sluggish control. See the diagram below.
Derivative Time
In the case of a process upset, proportional only or proportional-inte­gral action cannot react fast enough in returning a process back to setpoint without overshoot. The derivative action corrects for distur­bances providing sudden shifts in output which oppose the diver­gence of the process from setpoint. See the diagram below.
The derivative action changes the rate of reset or integration propor­tional to the rate of change and lag time of the system. By calculating the rate of change of the process and multiplying it by the lag time which is the time it takes the controller to sense an output change, the controller can anticipate where the process should be and change the output accordingly. This anticipatory action speeds up and slows down the effect of proportional only and proportional-integral actions to return a process to setpoint as quickly as possible with minimum overshoot. See the diagram below.
Derivative time is the amount of anticipatory action needed to return a process back to setpoint. A short derivative time means little deriva­tive action. If the derivative time is too short, the controller would not react quickly to process disturbances. A long derivative time means more derivative action. If the derivative time is too large, the con­troller would react too dramatically to process disturbances creating rapid process oscillation. A process which is very dynamic such as pressure and flow applications is more efficiently controlled if the derivative action is turned off because of the oscillation problem which would result.

APPENDIX C

Heater Break Option
The Heater Break Option is used to detect heater break conditions and to energize an alarm relay when such conditions exist. In most cases, the option is used to detect the failure of one or more zones in a multi-zoned heater where all individual resistive heater zones are wired in parallel. Failed heater zones would create cold spots in a system which could hamper the process and even ruin the product. If cold spots in a system are a problem, the Heater Break Option is an effective way of alerting the operator of a heater break condition, a cause of cold spots.
The PXZ controller is able to detect a heater problem by analyzing the current used by the heater. The actual sensing is done by a current sensing transformer, sold separately, which is placed around the hot lead going to the heater and connected to the controller. The signal sent by the current sensing transformer is timed with the output of the PXZ. When the output is energized the signal sent from the current sensing transformer is analyzed. When the output is de-energized the signal sent from the current sensing transformer is not analyzed. This eliminates the alarm condition turning on and off due to the output condition of the controller. If the signal sent when the output is ener­gized indicates that the current level is below what the Heater Break alarm is set for, the alarm is energized. The alarm is non-latching.
Notes:
1. The Heater Break Option is available on the PXZ-5, 7, and 9 controllers only.
2. The Heater Break Option cannot be used on the PXZ controller with a 4-20mA DC output. The current sensing transformer would pick up current changes due to fluctuating power output, between 0% and 100%, which would result in a heater break alarm condition even though no such condition existed.
3. The Cycle Time must be set at 6 secs. or higher in order for the controller to correctly analyze the signal sent by the current sens­ing transformer.
4. The power supply used should be the same for the PXZ and heater to eliminate current fluctuations due to power differences between different power supplies.

APPENDIX D

Heat/Cool Option
With the Heat/Cool Option, the PXZ can control a temperature appli­cation with one input at one main setpoint using two outputs, a heat­ing output and a cooling output. By using a heating and cooling out­put, a process is able to quickly bring the temperature to setpoint in both directions and to limit the amount of overshoot. The larger the deviation from setpoint, the more output applied to the system on both the heating and cooling sides. Heat/Cool control is a very effective way of controlling exothermic processes, processes that generate their own heat, or processes where ambient temperature is not ade­quate or fast enough in returning a process back to setpoint.
The two outputs on the PXZ are independent and sent to two different output devices. The PXZ can be equipped with two of the same or two different output types. Output #2 can be relay, SSR/SSC driver, or 4-20mA DC, regardless of what Output #1 is. Both output types must be specified when ordering.
The PXZ controls the cooling side with three additional parameters, TC-2, COOL, and DB. Each is explained below:
TC-2
Cycle Time (Output #2):
Because Output #2 is not necessarily the same as Output #1, the cycle time may be different
CooL Proportional Band Coefficient for Cooling:
Because the cooling power may not necessarily be the same as the heating power, the cooling proportional band may need to be different from that of the heating proportional band.
db Deadband/Overlap: Deadband is that area where
neither outputs are energized. Overlap is that area when both outputs are energized. This function lets you decide where you want the heating action to stop and the cooling action to begin.
Notes:
1. The Heat/Cool Option is available on the PXZ-5, 7, and 9 con­trollers only. Output #2 type can be the same or different than Output #1 type (Relay, SSR/SSC driver, or 4-20mA DC)
2. Integral and Derivative Times are the same for both the heating and cooling sides of a process with PID control because the response frequency or time constant of the system does not change at main setpoint when cooling is added.
3. The Proportional Band for heating and cooling are almost always different. Rarely does the same amount of cooling output remove the same percentage of process error as the heating output does. The Cooling Proportional Band must be manually and separately tuned.
4. If the heating side is set for On/Off control, the cooling side will be set for On/Off control also. Regardless of what the COOL parame­ter is set for, if the Proportional Band is set to zero, the Heating Proportional Band and the Cooling Proportional Band will always be zero or On/Off.
Wiring and Setting:
1. Choose the correct current sensing transformer based on the maximum current usage of the heater. 0 - 30 Amps (part # CTL-6-SF) 0 - 50 Amps (part # CTL-12-S36-8F)
2. Thread the hot lead going to the heater through the donut of the current sensing transformer. Connect the wires of the current sensing transformer to the current sensing transformer input termi­nals in the back of the controller.
3. Set Heater Break alarm setpoint parameter “Hb”. With the current sensing transformer connected and the heater in operation, output energized, change the Heater Break Alarm setting from the maxi­mum current setting for the particular current sensing transformer being used to a lower value. Allow 3 secs. or more between setting changes. Continue lowering the setting until the relay is energized and the “HB” status indicator is lit. This is the maximum current usage of the heater. Using the same procedure, find the maximum current usage of the heater minus one zone. Set the setpoint in between the two current readings. In this way, the operator knows if one or more zones fail because the current sensed will only be below the Heater Break Alarm setting if one or more zones fail.

5. If the cycle times of one or both outputs are long and the process
dynamic, there is a good chance that both outputs will be cycling on and off at the same time around main setpoint. This is evident if one or both outputs are relays.
6. Autotune is not effective on the cooling side of Heat/Cool control.
Autotune the controller for heat only and then manually tune the cooling parameters.
Wiring and Setting
1. Make sure that your PXZ has the correct output type installed for
Output #2. Verify that the TC2, COOL, and DB parameters are indi­cated in the primary (setpoint) menu.
2. Wire your cooling load to the Output #2 terminals located on the
back of your PXZ controller.
3. In the secondary (system) menu, program the correct code for
Heat/Cool action. See page 13 for the complete code table.
4. In the primary (setpoint) menu, program TC2, the cycle time for
Output #2. The table below is a general guide to TC2 settings.
5. Autotune or manually tune the PID parameters of your PXZ
controller. Autotune will work for the heating PID parameters but not on the cooling parameters. You must manually tune the cooling parameters.
6. With the heat side tuned, manually set the COOL parameter or
Proportional Band Coefficient for Cooling. If the cooling output is less powerful than the heating output, the Cooling Proportional Band must be narrower than the Heating Proportional Band; the COOL parameter would be less than “1”. If the cooling output is more powerful than the heating output, the Cooling Proportional Band must be wider than the Heating Proportional Band; the COOL parameter would be more than “1”. See the programming section for more details.
7. Finally, you can add a Deadband/Overlap. The programmed
Deadband/Overlap parameter can be within -50% to +50% of the Heating Proportional band. To establish a Deadband, parameter “db” is set somewhere between 0% and 50% of the Heating Proportional band. To establish an Overlap, db is set somewhere between -50% and 0% of the Heating Proportional Band.
8. Manually fine-tune the parameters COOL and db until just the right
amount of cooling is achieved. Refer to the programming section for more details on these parameters.
