March 2012 UDC3500 Universal Digital Controller Product Manual 1
Introduction
Analog Inputs
The UDC3500 has three universal analog inputs with a typical accuracy of ±0.10% of
full-scale input and a typical resolution of 16 bits. These can be configured to act as one
Universal and four High Level Inputs for a total of five analog inputs. All analog inputs
are sampled six times per second (every 166 ms).
The Process Variable input can be one of the various Thermocouple, RTD, Radiamatic or
linear actuations. Linear actuations have Thermocouple, RTD, and Radiamatic
transmitter characterization capability as a standard feature. Linear actuations also have
square root capability.
The optional second and third inputs are isolated from each other and all other inputs and
outputs and accept the same actuations as input one. Input 3 provides the Slidewire input
for Position Proportional control. These optional inputs can each be split into two high
level inputs. The fourth input is enabled by first configuring Input 2 as a 20 mA or 5 Vdc
input type (high level) and moving a jumper on the Second Optional Input Board. Input 4
will then be available as a high level input. The fifth input is enabled by first configuring
Input 3 as a 20 mA or 5 Vdc input type (high level) and moving a jumper on the Third
Optional Input Board. Input 5 will then be available as a high level input.
All actuations and characterizations are keyboard configurable. Cold junction
compensation is provided for thermocouple type inputs. Upscale, downscale or failsafe
sensor break protection is keyboard configurable. A configurable digital filter of 0 to 120
seconds provides input signal damping.
Thermocouple Health—In addition to the standard configurable upscale, downscale or
failsafe output burnout selections, the condition of the thermocouple can be monitored to
determine if it is good, failing or in danger of imminent failure.
Math Functions
Algorithm—Two pre-configured algorithms are available for easy implementation. This
includes the capability of using a Ratio and Bias with any input. You can select from the
following menu:
Feedforward Summer—Uses any input, followed by a Ratio/Bias calculation, summed
directly with the computed PID output value to provide a resultant output to the final
control element (standard feature).
Weighted Average —Computes the weighted average of a PV or SP for the control
algorithm from two inputs (standard feature).
Feedforward Multiplier—Uses any input, multiplied by the calculated PID output to
provide a resultant output, which is sent to the final control element (standard feature).
Summer/Subtractor—Will add or subtract inputs with the result used as the derived PV.
Multiplier/Divider—Uses the analog inputs to calculate a derived PV. It is available
with or without Square Root.
Input High/Low Select—Specifies the PV input as the higher or lower of two inputs.
2 UDC3500 Universal Digital Controller Product Manual March 2012
Introduction
8 Segment Characterizers—Two characterizers are available that can be applied to any
Analog Input, to Loop 1 Output or to Loop 2 Output. The Characterizers can be
combined to produce a single 16-segment characterizer. †
Totalizer—Calculates and displays the total flow volume as measured by any of the
analog inputs or as derived by either Math algorithm. Displayed value is eight digits with
a configurable scaling factor. The totalizer value may be reset.
Combinational Inputs—Inputs can be combined for use with Relative Humidity, %
Oxygen, Carbon Potential, Dewpoint or Math Algorithms. This controller can accept
carbon probes from Cambridge, Marathon Monitors, Corning, A.A.A.C, Barber
Coleman, MacDhui, Bricesco or Furnace Controls.
Polynomial Curve Characterizer—A fifth order polynomial equation can be used on
any one of the analog inputs.
Logic Gates—Five Logic Gates configurable as OR, NOR, AND, NAND, XOR, XNOR,
or COMPARATOR. Each Gate has two inputs and one output. The Gates may be linked
together to perform more complex functions.
†
Characterizers are mutually exclusive with Setpoint Program #4.
Digital Inputs
Four isolated digital inputs are provided for remote dry contact closure to select one of 25
actions. Also, two of these digital inputs can allow one of six additional selections to be
combined with one of the above selections.
Outputs
Output Types - The UDC3500 may have up to seven of the following outputs:
Current Outputs (4-20 or 0-20 mA)
Electromechanical Relays (5 amps)
Solid State Relay (1 amp)
Dual Electromechanical Relays (2 amps)
Open Collector Output (+30 VDC @ 20 mA)
Alarms
Up to four electromechanical alarm relays are available to activate external equipment
when preset alarm setpoints are reached. Each of the four alarms can be set to monitor
two independent setpoints. Each alarm setpoint can be either high or low alarm. The
alarm type can be selected to be either of the inputs, the Process Variable, Deviation,
Output, Shed from communications, PV rate of change, or to alarm on manual mode
activation or a Current Output Open failure. It can also be used as an On or Off event at
the beginning or end of a Ramp/Soak segment. An individual alarm hysteresis setting is
provided for each relay and these are configurable from 0 to 100% of range.
Alarms can be configured as latching or non-latching. continued
March 2012 UDC3500 Universal Digital Controller Product Manual 3
Introduction
Alarm blocking is also available which allows start-up without alarm energized
until after it first reaches the operating region.
A communications link is provided between the UDC3500 and a host computer or PLC
via the RS422/485 Modbus® RTU or Ethernet TCP/IP * communications option. An
infrared communication link is also available allowing a non-intrusive configuration of
the instrument.
Miscellaneous Features
Auxiliary Output * (optional)—All of the three current outputs can function as Auxiliary
Outputs which can be scaled from 4-20 ma for 0 to 100% for any range. These can be
configured to represent any analog input, PV, active Setpoint, Local SP1, Deviation, or
the Control Output for either control loop.
Transmitter Power—This feature provides up to 30 volts dc to power a 2-wire transmitter (requires the use of open collector output selection or one of the current outputs).
Four Local and one Remote Setpoints—Can be configured to provide four Local and
one Remote Setpoints, which are selectable either via the keyboard or by Digital Input.
Universal Switching Power—Operates on any line voltage from 90 to 250 Vac 50/60 Hz
without jumpers. 24 Vac/dc instrument power is available as an option.
Timer—This standard feature provides a configurable time period of 0 to 99 hours, 59
minutes or units of minutes and seconds. It can be started via the keyboard, alarm 2, or by
a digital input. The timer output is Alarm 1, which energizes at the end of the Timer
Period. Alarm 1 can be automatically reset. The Timer Period can be changed between
each batch. Status is shown on the lower display.
Healthwatch—Consists of three timers and three counters, which can each be assigned to
track UDC3500 controller functions. Selected Maintenance & Diagnostic data can be
accessed from the front panel or via communications. Alarms can be configured to
activate when a desired threshold is reached. A security code is required to perform
resetting of any of the above listed counter or timer functions.
Real Time Clock—An optional battery-backed clock feature that allows the user to
perform such things as starting an SP Program on a specific date and time.
Auto/Manual Station Plus Back-up Control—A UDC3500 can act as both an
Auto/Manual Station PLUS as a back-up PID Controller, should the primary loop
controller fail. Since the PID control is sometimes implemented via a PLC, this feature
provides a very cost-effective way to insure the process does not have to shutdown or

Introduction
remain in manual mode if the PLC should fail. Switching from the Auto/Manual Station
to the back-up control mode is accomplished using the Digital Input option.
Moisture Protection—The NEMA4X and IP66 rated front face permits use in
applications where it may be subjected to moisture, dust, or hose-down conditions. UL
and CSA approved as Type 4 protection.
Setpoint Ramp/Soak Programming (Optional)—Enables you to program and store ten
Ramp and ten Soak segments (total of twenty segments) for setpoint programming. Run
or Hold of program is keyboard or remote digital switch selectable.
Enhanced Setpoint Programming (Optional) )—Four Setpoint Programs each of ten
Ramp and ten Soak Segments. Each pair can be concatenated so as to form a single
Setpoint Program of twenty Ramps and twenty Soaks. †
Setpoint Rate—Lets you define a ramp rate to be applied to any local setpoint change. A
separate upscale or downscale rate is configurable. A single setpoint ramp is also
available as an alternative.
Output Rate Limiter—A maximum output rate may be configured for both the upscale
and the downscale output directions.
CE Mark—Conformity with 73/23/EEC, Low Voltage Directive and 89/336/EEC, the
EMC Directive as a standard feature.
Approval Body Options—CSA certification and UL listing are available as an option.
Four Sets of Tuning Constants—Four sets of PID parameters can be configured for each
loop and automatically or keyboard selected.
Data Security—Five levels of keyboard security protect tuning, configuration, and
calibration data, accessed by a configurable 4-digit code. Nonvolatile EEPROM memory
assures data integrity during loss of power.
Diagnostic/Failsafe Outputs—Continuous diagnostic routines detect failure modes,
trigger a failsafe output value and identify the failure to minimize troubleshooting time.
High Noise Immunity—The controller is designed to provide reliable, error-free
performance in industrial environments that often affect highly noise-sensitive digital
equipment.
Accutune III™ —This standard feature provides a truly plug and play tuning algorithm,
which will, at the touch of a button or through a digital input, accurately identify and tune
any process including those with deadtime and integrating processes. This speeds up and
simplifies start-up plus allows retuning at any setpoint. The algorithm used is an
TM
improved version of the Accutune II
algorithm found on earlier controllers. Two
possibilities are now offered when tuning your process: Fast Tune and Slow Tune.
Fast Tune will tune the process in such a way that the temp is reached faster, a
slight overshoot will be allowed.
Slowtune will minimize overshoot, but it will take more time for the process
temperature to reach the target setpoint.
March 2012 UDC3500 Universal Digital Controller Product Manual 5
Introduction
Heat/Cool (Duplex Tune) will automatically tune both the heating and cooling
sides of the process.
Fuzzy Logic—This standard feature uses fuzzy logic to suppress process variable
overshoot due to SP changes or externally induced process disturbances. It
operates independently from Accutune III tuning. It does not change the PID
constants, but temporarily modifies the internal controller response to suppress
overshoot. This allows more aggressive tuning to co-exist with smooth PV
response. It can be enabled or disabled depending on the application or the control
criteria.
* The Second Current Output option is mutually exclusive with the Ethernet
Communications option.

Characterizers are mutually exclusive with Setpoint Program #4.

Infrared communications
The infrared connection provides a non-intrusive wireless connection with the instrument
and maintains NEMA4X AND IP66 integrity.
No need to get access to the back of the controller to communicate with the instrument,
no need to take your screw driver to wire the communication cable, no wiring mistake
possible. You can now duplicate an instrument’s configuration, upload or download a
new configuration in a matter of seconds, just by pointing your Pocket PC in the direction
of the instrument.
It takes just a few seconds to upload a configuration from an instrument. You can then
save the configuration file onto your PC or pocket PC for review, modification or
archiving. Furthermore, this software also gives you important maintenance information
on the controller: instantly, get information on the current operating parameters, digital
inputs and alarm status, identify internal or analog input problems.
Question: What if I have several controllers on the same panel? How can I be sure I am
communicating with the correct one?
Answer: The infrared port of the controller is normally “off”. You activate the infrared
port by pressing any controller’s key. You can now communicate. After 4 minutes, the
port will be shut down again. Each controller may also be assigned a different
communications address.
