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
type (high level) input 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 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 9/06
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.
Digital Inputs
Introduction
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:
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.
• Current Outputs (4-20 or 0-20 mA)
• Electromechanical Relays (5 amps)
• Solid State Relay (1 amp)

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.
Heat/Cool (Duplex Tune) will automatically tune both the heating and cooling
sides of the process.
9/06 UDC3500 Universal Digital Controller Product Manual 5
Introduction
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.

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.

• For normal installation (NEMA 3/IP55) two mounting clips are required. Insert
the prongs of the clips into the two holes in the top and bottom center of the case
• For water-protected installation (NEMA 4/IP66) four mounting clips are
required. There are two options of where to install the mounting clips:
1) Insert the prongs of the clips into the two holes on the left and right side of the
top and bottom of the case or
2) on the center on each of the four sides.
•Tighten screws to 2 lb-inch (22 N•cm) to secure the case against the panel.
CAUTION: Over tightening will cause distortion and the unit may not seal properly.
For water-protected installation (NEMA 4/IP66), install four screws with washers into
4
the four recessed areas in the corners of the front bezel (Figure 2-3). Push the point of
the screw through the center piercing the elastomeric material and then tighten screws
to 5 lb-in (56 N•cm).

2.6 Wiring
2.6.1 Electrical Considerations
Line voltage wiring
This controller is considered “rack and panel mounted equipment” per EN61010-1,
Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory
Use, Part 1: General Requirements. Conformity with 72/23/EEC, the Low Voltage
Directive requires the user to provide adequate protection against a shock hazard. The
user shall install this controller in an enclosure that limits OPERATOR access to the rear
terminals.
Mains Power Supply
This equipment is suitable for connection to 90 to 264 Vac or to 24 Vac/dc 50/60 Hz,
power supply mains. It is the user’s responsibility to provide a switch and non-time delay
(North America), quick-acting, high breaking capacity, Type F (Europe), 1/2A, 250V
fuse(s), or circuit breaker for 90-264 Vac applications; or 2 A, 125 V fuse or circuit
breaker for 24 Vac/dc applications, as part of the installation. The switch or circuit
breaker shall be located in close proximity to the controller, within easy reach of the OPERATOR. The switch or circuit breaker shall be marked as the disconnecting device
for the controller.
Applying 90-264 Vac to an instrument rated for 24 Vac/dc will severely
damage the instrument and is a fire and smoke hazard.
When applying power to multiple instruments, make certain that sufficient current is
supplied. Otherwise, the instruments may not start up normally due to the voltage drop
caused by the in-rush current.
Controller Grounding
PROTECTIVE BONDING (grounding) of this controller and the enclosure in which it is
installed shall be in accordance with National and Local electrical codes. To minimize
electrical noise and transients that may adversely affect the system, supplementary
bonding of the controller enclosure to a local ground, using a No. 12 (4 mm2) copper
conductor, is recommended.
Control/Alarm Circuit Wiring
The insulation of wires connected to the Control/Alarm terminals shall be rated for the
highest voltage involved. Extra Low Voltage (ELV) wiring (input, current output, and
low voltage Control/Alarm circuits) shall be separated from HAZARDOUS LIVE (>30
Vac, 42.4 Vpeak, or 60 Vdc) wiring per Permissible Wiring Bundling, Table 2-5.
Electrical Noise Precautions
Electrical noise is composed of unabated electrical signals, which produce undesirable
effects in measurements and control circuits.
22 UDC3500 Universal Digital Controller Product Manual 9/06
Digital equipment is especially sensitive to the effects of electrical noise. Your controller
has built-in circuits to reduce the effect of electrical noise from various sources. If there
is a need to further reduce these effects:
•Separate External Wiring—Separate connecting wires into bundles
(See Permissible Wiring Bundling - Table 2-5) and route the individual bundles
through separate conduit metal trays.
Use Suppression Devices—For additional noise protection, you may want to add
suppression devices at the external source. Appropriate suppression devices are
commercially available.
ATTENTION
For additional noise information, refer to document number 51-52-05-01, How to Apply Digital Instrumentation in Severe Electrical Noise Environments.

2.7 Wiring Diagrams
Identify Your Wiring Requirements
To determine the appropriate diagrams for wiring your controller, refer to the model
number interpretation in this section. The model number of the controller is on the
outside of the case.
Output Functionality and Restrictions
Table 2-6 and Table 2-7 show the control functionality and number of alarms that are
available based upon the installed outputs quantity and type. First, use the left-most
column to find the Control Output Algorithm desired for your instrument. Then use the
second column to find the Output 2 Option selection installed in your instrument. The
rest of the columns will then show how the instrument delivers your desired Output
functionality and the quantity of alarms available.
In Table 2-6, “HEAT” is used as meaning Loop 1 Control Output #1 and “COOL” is
used as meaning Loop 1 Control Output #2. When Position Proportional or Three
Position Step Control (TPSC) is configured, then “HEAT” means OPEN while “COOL”
means CLOSE.
In Table 2-7, “Loop 2 HEAT” is used as meaning Loop 2 Control Output #1 and “Loop 2
COOL” is used as meaning Loop 2 Control Output #2.
See Figure 2-4 Composite Wiring Diagram, for information on where the customer
terminals are for all of these outputs and alarms.
ATTENTION
The selection for Loop 1 Output takes precedence over the selection for Loop 2 Output.
For example, if you select the Loop 1 Output Algorithm as Current Duplex 50%, then
you cannot have Current Duplex 50% as the Output Algorithm for Loop 2.
The Output 2 option shown in these tables as “Single Relay” can be any of the
following selections: Electro-Mechanical Relay, Solid-State Relay or Open Collector
Output.
If the controller is configured to use the same relay for more than one function, then the
following priority is used to determine how the relay functions: Control Outputs take
precedence over Alarms, which in turn take precedence over Time/Events, which in turn
take precedence over Logic Gate Outputs.
For example, if you select the Loop 2 Output Algorithm as Time Simplex (which uses
Relay 3), enable Alarm 3 (which also uses Relay 3) and configure a Logic Gate to use
Relay 3, then the instrument will use Relay #3 to perform the Time Simplex output and
ignore the Alarm and Logic Gate functions.

straight-through cable to connect the controller to a MDI Compliant Hub or Switch.
Alternatively, you may use a crossover cable to connect your controller directly to a PC,
which is useful for commissioning purposes. Use only Category 5 (STP CAT5) shielded
twisted-pair Ethernet cables. For strain relief, secure your Ethernet cable to the controller
with the tie wraps included in the kit using the holes in the bottom controller flange.

3.1 Overview
Introduction
Configuration is a dedicated operation where you use straightforward keystroke
sequences to select and establish (configure) pertinent control data best suited for your
application.
To assist you in the configuration process, there are prompts that appear in the upper and
lower displays. These prompts let you know what group of configuration data (Set Up
prompts) you are working with and also, the specific parameters (Function prompts)
associated with each group.
Table 3-1 shows an overview of the prompt hierarchy as it appears in the controller.

3.3 Configuration Procedure
Introduction
Each of the Set Up groups and their functions are pre-configured at the factory.
The factory settings are shown in Table 3-4 through Table 3-21. If you want to change
any of these selections or values, follow the procedure in Table 3-3. This procedure tells
you the keys to press to get to any Set Up group and any associated Function prompt.
Procedure
ATTENTION
The prompting scrolls at a rate of one group every 2/3 seconds when the SET UP or FUNC/LOOP 1/2 key
is held in. Also, or keys will move group prompts forward or backward twice as fast.

Increments or decrements the value or selection that appears for
the selected function prompt. If you change the value or selection of
a parameter while in Set Up mode but then decide not to enter it,
press the Man/Auto key once. This will recall the original
configuration. This “recall” procedure does not work for a Field
Calibration process. Field Calibration is a one-way operation.
Enters value or selection made into memory after another key is
pressed.
Exits configuration mode and returns controller to the same state it
was in immediately preceding entry into the Set Up mode. It stores
any changes you have made.
If you do not press any keys for 30 seconds, the controller times out
and reverts to the mode and associated display used prior to entry
into Set Up mode.

3.4 Loop 1 Tuning Set Up Group
Introduction
Tuning consists of establishing the appropriate values for the tuning constants you are
using so that your controller responds correctly to changes in process variable and
setpoint. You can start with predetermined values but you will have to watch the system
to see how to modify them. The Accutune feature automatically selects Gain, Rate, and
Reset on demand.
There can be as many as four PID sets available for Loop 1.
ATTENTION
Because this group contains functions that have to do with security and lockout, we recommend
that you configure this group last, after all other configuration data has been loaded.

PROPORTIONAL BAND (simplex) is the percent of
the range of the measured variable for which a
proportional controller will produce a 100 % change
in its output.
GAIN is the ratio of output change (%) over the
measured variable change (%) that caused it.
100%
G =
where PB is the proportional band (in %)
If the PB is 20 %, then the Gain is 5. And, at those
settings, a 3 % change in the error signal (SP-PV)
will result in a 15 % change in the controller’s output
due to proportional action. If the Gain is 2, then the
PB is 50 %.
Also defined as “HEAT” Gain on Duplex models for
variations of Heat/Cool applications.
The selection of Proportional Band or Gain is made
in the CONTROL parameter group under prompt
PBorGAIN.

RSET MIN = Reset in Minutes per Repeat
RSET RPM = Reset in Repeats per Minute
RESET (or Integral Time) adjusts the controller’s
output in accordance with both the size of the
deviation (SP–PV) and the time that it lasts. The
amount of the corrective action depends on the
value of Gain. The Reset adjustment is measured as
how many times proportional action is repeated per
minute or how many minutes before one repeat of
the proportional action occurs.
Used with control algorithm PID-A or PID-B.
Also defined as “HEAT” Reset on Duplex models for
variations of Heat/Cool applications.
ATTENTION The selection of whether Minutes per
Repeat or Repeats per Minute is used is made in the
CONTROL parameters group under the prompt
MINorRPM.
MANUAL RESET is only applicable if you use
control algorithm PD WITH MANUAL RESET in the
Algorithm Set Up group. Because a proportional
controller will not necessarily line out at setpoint,
there will be a deviation (offset) from setpoint. This
eliminates the offset and lets the PV line out at
setpoint.

3.5 Loop 2 Tuning Set Up Group
Introduction
Tuning consists of establishing the appropriate values for the tuning constants you are
using so that your controller responds correctly to changes in process variable and
setpoint. You can start with predetermined values but you will have to watch the system
to see how to modify them. The Accutune feature automatically selects Gain, Rate, and
Reset on demand.
There can be as many as four PID sets available for Loop 2.

PROPORTIONAL BAND (simplex) is the percent of
the range of the measured variable for which a
proportional controller will produce a 100 % change
in its output.
GAIN is the ratio of output change (%) over the
measured variable change (%) that caused it.
100%
G =
where PB is the proportional band (in %)
If the PB is 20 %, then the Gain is 5. And, at those
settings, a 3 % change in the error signal (SP-PV)
will result in a 15 % change in the controller’s output
due to proportional action. If the Gain is 2, then the
PB is 50 %.
Also defined as “HEAT” Gain on Duplex models for
variations of Heat/Cool applications.
The selection of Proportional Band or Gain is made

RESET (or Integral Time) adjusts the controller’s
output in accordance with both the size of the
deviation (SP–PV) and the time that it lasts. The
amount of the corrective action depends on the
value of Gain. The Reset adjustment is measured as
how many times proportional action is repeated per
minute or how many minutes before one repeat of
the proportional action occurs.
Used with control algorithm PID-A or PID-B.

3.6 SP Ramp Set Up Group
Introduction
Set Point Ramp, Set Point Programs and Set Point Rates can be configured in this group.
A single Setpoint Ramp [SP RAMP] can be configured to occur between the current local
setpoint and a final local setpoint over a time interval of from 1 to 255 minutes.
A Set Point Rate [SPRATE] lets you configure a specific rate of change for any local
setpoint change.
A single Set Point Program [SP PROG] with up to 20 segments can be configured.
For more information on Set Point Rate, Ramp and Programming, see Sections 4.27
through 4.30.
You can start and stop the ramp/program using the RUN/HOLD key.
PV Hot Start is a configurable feature and means that, at initialization, the setpoint is set
to the current PV value and the Ramp or Rate or Program then starts from this value.
Added Features not found in other UDC products:
• 20 segments instead of 12
• 10 Guaranteed Soak Settings (one for each Soak Segment)
• PID Set selection for each Segment

3.7 Accutune Set Up Group
Introduction
Accutune III automatically calculates GAIN, RATE, and RESET TIME (PID) tuning
constants for your control loop. When initiated on demand, the Accutune algorithm
measures a process step response and automatically generates the PID tuning constants
needed for no overshoot on your process.
The Accutune III set up group offers these selections:
Fuzzy, Fuzzy Overshoot Suppression: When enabled, this configuration will suppress
or eliminate any overshoot that may occur as a result of the existing tuning
parameters, as the PV approaches the setpoint.
Tune, Demand Tuning: This tuning cycles the output to the output limits causing the
PV to oscillate around the SP value. This tuning does not require the process to be at
lineout (stabilized) and may be moving. The tuning process is initiated through the
operator interface keys or via a digital input (if configured). The algorithm then
calculates new tuning parameters and enters them in the tuning group. Tune will
operate with PIDA, PIDB, PD+MR and Three Position Step Control algorithms.
SP, SP Tuning: When activated in automatic control, the output makes an output step
in the direction of the SP and starts measurement activities to calculate the tuning
parameters based on the PV response. In order to work properly, this tuning requires
that the process be at lineout (stabilized) for a period before SP Tune is initiated.
SP tuning continuously adjusts the PID parameters in response to setpoint changes.
You can select tuning on minimum setpoint changes of 5 % up to 15 % span.
Perform SP tuning after you have configured the controller. SP Tuning does not
operate with the Three Position Step Control algorithm.
Tune + PV or SP + PV, PV Tuning: The (TUNE) Demand Tuning or the (SP) Setpoint
Tuning portions of these selections work as stated above. PV Adapt will occur during
Process Variable (PV) disturbances (0.3% span or larger) which result from nonlinearities, process dynamics, load changes, or other operating conditions. When this
condition exists, the controller monitors the process response for 1 and 1/2 process
cycles around the setpoint to determine whether there has been a true process change
or a momentary upset.
Process retuning occurs as the process dynamics are learned. When the process is
being learned with possible retune, a “t” is shown in the upper left display digit.
Simplex Tuning is used when a Simplex Control Algorithm is configured and uses the
current SP value and alters the output over the Output Limit Range.
Duplex Tuning is used when a Duplex Control Algorithm is configured. To perform a
Duplex Tune, Two Local Setpoints must be configured per the Control Group in
Section 3.17.
See Section 4.10 for additional information.

and does not require line out for initialization.
TUNE is the recommended start-up mode—to be
used when no knowledge of the process tuning
values is available. In the Start-up mode, after
enabling ACCUTUNE, the operator simply
configures the desired SP value and enables the
ACCUTUNE process via the keyboard.

remaining” (see TI REM) or “elapsed time” (see E TIME).
Alarm 1 is activated at the end of the time-out period. When the timer is enabled, it has
exclusive control of the alarm 1 relay—any previous alarm 1 configuration is ignored. At
time-out, the timer is ready to be activated again by whatever action has been configured.

CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR LOOP 1—The
Control Algorithm lets you select the type of control
that is best for your process.
ON/OFF—The simplest control type. The output can
be either ON (100 %) or OFF (0 %). The Process
Variable (PV) is compared with the setpoint (SP) to
determine the sign of the error (ERROR = PV–SP).
The ON/OFF algorithm operates on the sign of the
error signal.
In Direct Acting Control, when the error signal is
positive, the output is 100 %; and when the error
signal is negative, the output is 0 %. If the control
action is reverse, the opposite is true. An adjustable
overlap (Hysteresis Band) is provided between the
on and off states.
ATTENTION Other prompts affected: OUT HYST
DUPLEX ON/OFF—This is an extension of the ON-
OFF algorithm when the output is configured for a
Duplex control algorithm. It allows the operation of a
second ON/OFF output. There is a deadband
between the operating ranges of the two inputs and
an adjustable overlap (hysteresis) of the on and off
states of each output. Both Deadband and
Hysteresis are separately adjustable. With no relay
action the controller will read 50 %.

ATTENTION PID A
should not be used for
Proportional only action;
i.e., no integral (reset)
action. Instead, use
PD+MR with rate set to 0.
PID B
Parameter
Definition
PID A—This normally used for three-mode control.
Three mode control means that the output can be
adjusted to be at any point between 0 % and 100 %.
It applies all three control actions—Proportional (P),
Integral (I), and Derivative (D)—to the error signal.
Proportional (Gain)
—Regulates the controller’s
output in proportion to the error signal (the difference
between Process Variable and Setpoint).
Integral (Reset
)—Regulates the controller’s output
to the size of the error and the time the error has
existed. (The amount of corrective action depends
on the value of proportional Gain.)
Derivative (Rate)
—Regulates the controller’s output
in proportion to the rate of change of the error. (The
amount of corrective action depends on the value of
proportional Gain.)
PID B—Unlike the PID A equation, the controller
gives only an integral response to a setpoint change,
with no effect on the output due to the gain or rate
action, and it gives full response to PV changes.
Otherwise controller action is as described for the
PID A equation. See note on PID A.
PD+MR
PD WITH MANUAL RESET—This is used whenever
integral action is not wanted for automatic control
action. The equation is computed with no integral
contribution. The MANUAL RESET value, which is
operator adjustable, is then added to the present
output to form the controller output.
Switching between manual and automatic mode is
bumpless (output does not change value).
If you select PD with Manual Reset you can also
configure the following variations:
• PD (Two Mode) control,
• P (Single Mode) control.
Set Rate (D) to 0.

THREE POSITION STEP—The Three Position Step
Control algorithm allows the control of a valve (or
other actuator) with an electric motor driven by two
controller relay outputs; one to move the motor
upscale, the other downscale without a feedback
slidewire linked to the motor shaft. The deadband is
adjustable in the same manner as the duplex output
algorithm.
The Three Position Step Control algorithm provides
an output display (OUT), which is an estimated
motor position, since the motor is not using any
slidewire feedback. Although this output indication is
only an approximation, it is “corrected” each time the
controller drives the motor to one of its stops (0 % or
100 %). It avoids all the control problems associated
with the feedback slidewire (wear, dirt, noise). When
operating in this algorithm, the estimated OUT
display is shown to the nearest percent (i.e., no
decimal). This selection forces the Output Algorithm
selection to “POSPROP”. See Subsection 3.11.
Refer to the Operation section for motor position
displays.

As a customer configurable option, when a third

used in the Three Position Step algorithm. To

element.

ATTENTION Carbon/Oxygen/Dewpoint Notes
• The Carbon and Dewpoint selections will automatically set Input 1 actuation to CARBON.
The Oxygen selection will automatically set Input 1 actuation to OXYGEN.
• Input 2 can be any input actuation, but it is normally a type K, R or S thermocouple input,
depending upon the probe type selected.
• All calculations are performed by the Controller, with Percent Carbon, Percent Oxygen or
Dewpoint shown as the PV display. The actual value of each analog input may be viewed via the
lower display.
• For all Carbon Types, if the value of Percent Carbon falls below 0.1% - such as can happen when
the Carbon Probe voltage output falls below 900 mVdc – then the Controller will continue to
update the PV display, but the accuracy is unspecified. Likewise, if the measured temperature falls
outside of the specified ranges as noted above for the Carbon, Oxygen and Dewpoint input types,
then the Controller will continue to update the PV display, but the accuracy is unspecified.
• For the Dewpoint algorithm, if the Carbon Sensor voltage falls below 800 mVdc, then the Dewpoint
is calculated as if the sensor voltage was at 800 mVdc.
• If the Ratio for Input 2 is set to 0.0, then a constant value may be used for the Input 2 value via the
Input 2 Bias setting. When Input 2 Ratio is set to 0.0, the Input 2 low range and Sooting diagnostic
messages are disabled.

8 SEGMENT CHARACTERIZER #1—An eight-
segment characterizer can be applied to any analog
input, Output 1 or Output 2.
DISABLE—Disables characterizer.
INPUT 1—Characterizer is applied to Input 1.
INPUT 2—Characterizer is applied to Input 2.
INPUT 3—Characterizer is applied to Input 3.
INPUT 4—Characterizer is applied to Input 4.
INPUT 5—Characterizer is applied to Input 5.
LOOP 1 OUTPUT—Characterizer is applied to Loop
1 Output. – Should not be used for Three Position
Step Control or Position Proportional Control
applications
LOOP 2 OUTPUT—Characterizer is applied to Loop
2 Output.
There are eight (Xn) Input values and eight (Yn)
Output values to be selected. The following rules
apply:
• When any analog input is used, the Input Ratio
and Bias for that input are applied to the Xn
Values.
• When one of the Loop outputs are selected, the
Xn Input values are the Output from the control
algorithm, and the Yn Output is the final control
element action. This application is useful for nonlinear control elements or Process Variable.
A simple example is shown in Figure 3-2.

ATTENTION The source of the Totalizer is
averaged over the sample and update rates. For
example, as the loop cycle speed is six per second,
then with the Totalizer Rate set at once per minute,
the source is averaged six times per second and the
Totalizer value is updated with this average value ÷
