1: GENERAL INFORMATION

This chapter describes general information and specifications of the FC5A series PID modules. Make effective use of the PID modules after reading and understanding thoroughly functions and characteristics.

About the PID Modules

The PID module performs control actions to eliminate the deviation between the set point (SP) and process variable (PV). The PID module, which is an expansion module, is required to connect to the FC5A series CPU for use. Depending on the difference of output specifications, the PID modules are categorized into two types, and can be used by connecting to a FC5A slim type CPU, or 24-I/O all-in-one type CPU (except 12V DC CPU). The input channel can accept voltage, current, thermocouple or resistance thermometer signals. The output channel generates relay output, non-contact voltage (for SSR drive), or current signals. To configure the PID modules, the Expansion Modules Configuration dialog box in WindLDR is used. The following table shows the PID module type numbers.

Power Supply for PID Modules

When supplying power to the PID modules, take the following into consideration.
Using the same power supply for the MicroSmart CPU and the PID module is recommended to suppress the influence of noise. If the same power source is used for the PID module and MicroSmart CPU module, after the MicroSmart CPU is started to run, the PID module performs initialization for a maximum of 5 seconds. During this period, each parameter has an indefinite value. Design the user program to make sure that each parameter is referred in the CPU module after the PID module operating status is changed to 0001h (Normal operation).

Wiring of Power Line and I/O Lines for the PID Module

Separate the I/O lines, particularly resistance thermometers, from the power line as much as possible to suppress the influence of noise.

This chapter describes the temperature control, fixed value control, auto-tuning (AT), program control, heating/cooling control, difference input control, and cascade control of the PID module.

Temperature Control Using the PID Module

Temperature Control Configuration Example Using the PID Module
A. Sensor
Measures temperature of the control target. Thermocouple, resistance thermometer, voltage input, or current input can be used as the sensor.
B. PID module
Receives the temperature measured by the sensor as the process variable (PV), and calculates the output manipulated variable (MV) so that temperature difference (deviation) between the process variable (PV) and the set point (SP) can be eliminated. The output manipulated variable (MV) is outputted to the actuator as a control signal. Relay output, non-contact voltage output, or current output can be used as the control signal.
C. Actuator
Receives a control signal from the PID module and turns on the load power supply to the heater. Electromagnetic switches, SSR, or power controllers can be used as the actuator.
Optimal Temperature Control
The ideal temperature control, as shown in Figure 1, is to control the temperature to correspond with the set point (SP) regardless of any disturbances. There should be no overshoot or response delay of time until the temperature reaches the set point (SP).

Characteristic
In reality, the ideal temperature control shown in Figure 1 on the previous page is almost impossible to achieve due to a number of complicated factors such as thermal capacity, static characteristics, dynamic characteristics and disturbances. Figure 2 is regarded as an optimal temperature control result. Depending on the usage and objective, for some temperature control applications, suppression of overshoot is required even if the temperature rises very slowly as shown in Figure 3. For some temperature control applications, it is necessary to stabilize the temperature as quickly as possible by raising the temperature rapidly even if overshoot is generated as shown in Figure 4. In general, however, Figure 2 is regarded as an optimal temperature control. The PID module is designed to raise the process variable (PV) to the set point (SP) as quickly as possible in order to stabilize the process variable (PV) at the set point (SP) so as to perform the optimal temperature control. If the temperature fluctuates due to sudden disturbances, the PID module responds to the fluctuation with speedy response in the shortest possible time and performs quick control to stabilize the temperature.
Figure 3. Stable but slow temperature rise control
Figure 4. The temperature rises rapidly; however, the control stabilizes after overshoot and undershoot.
Characteristics of the Control Target
To perform optimal temperature control, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of the thermal characteristics of the PID module, sensors, actuators as well as control targets. For example, the PID module controls a constant temperature oven and its temperature can rise up to 100°C. Even if the set point (SP) of the PID modules is configured as 200°C, the temperature of the constant temperature oven rise only up to 100 °C due to its static characteristic. The characteristic of the control target is determined by the combination of the following 4 factors.
1. Thermal capacity: This represents how the target is easily heated, and has a relation with the volume size of the control target.
2. Static characteristic: This represents the capability of heating, and is determined by the size of the heater capacity.
3. Dynamic characteristic: This represents the rising characteristic (transitional response) during initial heating. This is a complicated process involving heater capacity, furnace capacity size and sensor location.
4. Disturbance: Any change in control temperature causes disturbance. For example, the change of ambient temperature or supply voltage can cause disturbance.

Fixed Value Control

The PID module provides 2 control modes, one is the fixed value control and the other is the program control. The fixed value control is a standard temperature control which performs to eliminate the deviation between the single set point (SP) and process variable (PV). The program control allows you to define the set point (SP) that changes as the time progresses so that the process variable (PV) can be controlled to match the set point (SP) changing as the time progresses. For detail about the program control, see 4-9. Control actions that can be used for fixed value control and program control are described below.
ON/OFF Control Action
In the ON/OFF control action, when the process variable (PV) is lower than the set point (SP), the control output is turned on, and when the process variable (PV) exceeds the set point (SP), the control output is turned off. Overshoot, undershoot, and hunting are generated. ON/OFF control is suitable for processes which do not require accuracy. If the proportional band or proportional gain of the PID module parameter is set to 0, the control action becomes ON/OFF control.
Overshoot, Undershoot
As the temperature of the control target rises as shown in the figure on the right, the process variable (PV) sometimes exceeds the set point (SP) greatly. This is called overshoot. If the process variable (PV) drops below the set point (SP), this is called undershoot.
Hunting
The control result oscillates as shown in the figure on the right. This is the the hunting.
P Control Action (Proportional Action)
P control action outputs the manipulated variable (MV) in proportion to the deviation between the process variable (PV) and the set point (SP) within the proportional band. The control output is ON until the process variable (PV) reaches the point A that is determined by the proportional band. If the process variable (PV) exceeds the point A (enters the proportional band), the control output starts turn on/off according to the control period and the manipulated variable (MV). If the process variable (PV) exceeds the set point (SP), the control output is completely turned off. While the process variable (PV) rises from the point A to the set point (SP), the control output ON time decreases and the control output OFF time increases. Compared to ON/OFF control action, there is no overshoot in P control action, and hunting becomes less frequent; however, the offset is generated. The P control action is suitable for processes such as gas pressure control or level control, in which there is no dead time. If the integral time and derivative time of the PID module parameter are set to 0, the control action becomes the P control action.

If the proportional band is narrowed (Proportional gain is made larger)
Because the control output starts turning on/off at around the set point (SP), the time until the process variable (PV) reaches the set point (SP) is shortened, and the offset is small; however, hunting is frequent. If the proportional band is greatly narrowed, the control action becomes similar to the ON/OFF control action.
If the proportional band is broadened (Proportional gain is made smaller)
Because the control output starts turning on/off at the significantly low temperature from the set point (SP), overshoot or hunting is reduced; however, it takes time for the process variable (PV) to reach to the set point (SP), and the offset between the process variable (PV) and the set point (SP) becomes broadened.
The offset caused by the P control action can be corrected by configuring the reset value. If the reset value is configured, the proportional band range can be shifted as shown in the figure below. The reset value can be automatically calculated by the auto-reset function.
PI Control Action (Proportional + Integral Action)
I (Integral) action automatically corrects the offset caused by P control action, and temperature control is performed at the set point (SP). However, it takes time for the process variable (PV) to be stable if the process variable (PV) is changed rapidly due to disturbance. PI control action is suitable for the processes in which the temperature slowly changes. If the derivative time of the PID module parameter is set to 0, the control action becomes the PI control action.
• If the integral time is shortened too much, the integral action becomes strong. The offset can be
corrected in a shorter time; however, hunting with a long cycle may be caused.
• If the integral time is extended too much, the integral action becomes weak and it takes time to correct
the offset.

PD Control Action (Proportional + Derivative Action)
Compared with P action, the response to rapid temperature change due to disturbance is faster, the temperature control can be stabilized in a shorter time, and transitional response characteristic can be improved in PD control action. PD control action is suitable for the processes in which the temperature rapidly changes. If the integral time of the PID module parameter is set to 0, the control action becomes the PD control action.
If the derivative time is shortened, the derivative action becomes weak. The response to the rapid
temperature change becomes slower. Because the action to suppress the rapid temperature rises becomes weaker, the time for the process variable (PV) to reach the set point (SP) is shortened; however, overshoot can occur.
If the derivative time is extended, the derivative action becomes strong. The response to the rapid
temperature change becomes faster. Because the action to suppress the rapid temperature rises becomes strong, the time for the process variable (PV) to reach the set point (SP) is extended; however, overshoot can be decreased.
The offset caused by the PD control action can be corrected by configuring the reset value. The reset value can be automatically calculated by the auto-reset function.
PID Control Action (Proportional + Integral + Derivative Action)
P action suppresses the overshoot and the hunting, I action corrects the offset, and D action corrects rapid temperature change due to disturbance in shorter time. Thus, using PID control action, optimal temperature control can be performed. The proportional band, integral time, derivative time, and ARW can be automatically calculated by the auto-tuning (AT).

Caution Perform auto-tuning (AT)/auto-reset during the trial run.
If the auto-tuning (AT) is performed near the ambient temperature, sufficient
fluctuations cannot be given to the process, and auto-tuning (AT) may fail. In such case, configure the P, I, D, and ARW values manually.
Perform auto-reset when the process variable (PV) is stabilized within the proportional band.
Once auto-tuning (AT)/auto-reset is performed, it is unnecessary to perform auto-tuning (AT)/auto-reset again as long as the process is unchanged.
When voltage or current input is selected and the auto-tuning (AT) is performed, fluctuations are given to the process at the set point (SP) regardless of AT bias.
During program control, fluctuations are given to the process as soon as auto-tuning (AT) is started.

Auto-Tuning (AT)/Auto-Reset

The optimal temperature control parameters differ depending on the characteristics of the process to control. For PID control action, the proportional band, integral time, derivative time, and ARW are automatically configured by performing auto-tuning (AT). For P control or PD control action, the reset value is automatically configured by performing auto-reset.
Auto-tuning (AT)
In order to configure P (proportional band), I (integral time), D (derivative time), and ARW (Anti-Reset Windup) automatically with optimal values, the auto-tuning (AT) can be performed. The auto-tuning (AT) gives temperature fluctuation to the process to calculate those parameters. To perform an optimal auto-tuning (AT), temperature fluctuation is given to the process when the process variable (PV) reaches near the set point (SP). By setting the AT bias, the temperature to start giving fluctuation can be configured. The relation between the set point (SP), AT bias, auto-tuning (AT) starting point, and fluctuation starting point are shown below.

Auto-reset
During the P control or PD control action, the deviation (offset) between the process variable (PV) and the set point (SP) is generated when the process variable (PV) is stabilized. By performing auto-reset, the reset value can automatically be calculated to correct the offset. It is required to perform auto-reset when the process variable (PV) is stabilized within the proportional band. When the auto-reset is completed, the CPU module automatically reads all parameters including the calculated reset value from the PID module and stores those parameters in the data registers. It is unnecessary to perform the auto-reset again as long as the process is unchanged. When the proportional band (P) is set to 0 or 0.0, the reset value is cleared.
Auto-tuning (AT)/Auto-reset Perform/Cancel
The Auto-tuning (AT)/Auto-reset function can be performed or cancelled by turning on/off the operation parameter bits allocated to each channel. For the operation parameter bits, see page 5-10.
Perform Auto-tuning (AT) To perform auto-tuning (AT), turn on the control enable/disable bit (Bit0) and auto-tuning (AT)/auto-reset bit (Bit1) of the operation parameter. P, I, D and ARW values will automatically be configured. When auto-tuning (AT) is performed during the program control, P, I, D and ARW values of the current step are configured. While auto-tuning (AT) is performed, the Auto-tuning (AT)/Auto-reset LED (AT0/AT1) flashes. When auto-tuning (AT) is completed, the operation parameter Bit1 is automatically turned off, and the CPU module reads all parameters of the AT performed channel from the PID module and store those parameters in the data registers. If any parameters in the data registers of the CPU module have been changed but have not been written to the PID module, those parameters will be overwritten with the parameters read from the PID module when auto-turning (AT) is finished.

Program Control

The program control allows you to define the set point (SP) that changes as the time progresses so that the process variable (PV) can be controlled to match the set point (SP) changing as the time progresses. The set point (SP) and time can be configured for each step. A maximum of 10 steps can be configured and performed. The set point (SP) can be configured as shown in the following diagram. The program control is suitable for applications, such as electric furnaces for ceramic industries or food machineries.
Main functions of the program control are described as follows: Program Pattern and Steps
1 program pattern consisting of 10 steps can be performed per channel.
Program Hold Function Suspends the progression of the program control while the program control is running and performs the fixed value control with the set point (SP) at the time that the program control is held.
Advance Next Function Terminates the current step while the program control is running and proceeds to the start of the next step.
Advance Previous Function Moves back the progression of the program control while the program control is running.
Wait Function When a step ends during program control, if the deviation between the process variable (PV) and set point (SP) is bigger than the wait value, the program control does not move to the next step. The program control proceeds to the next step once the deviation between the process variable (PV) and set point (SP) becomes smaller than the wait value.
Repeat Function
When the all steps are executed and the program control is terminated, the program control can be repeated from Step 0 as many times as the repeat number configured.
FC5A MicroSmart PID Module User’s Manual FC9Y-B1283 4-9
PID MODULE MAIN FUNCTIONS
Program Control Operation Bits and Status Monitoring
By turning on/off the operation parameter bit, program control progression can be operated. By monitoring program run status, the current status of program control can be monitored. For the allocation of operation parameter, program run status, operating status, see pages 5-7 to 5-10.
Program Control Start (Start the program control)
Turn on the program control bit (Bit3) of the operation parameter. Program control starts.
Program Control Stop (Terminate the program control)
Turn off the program control bit (Bit3) of the operation parameter. Program control stops and enters standby status.
Program Hold (Suspend the program control)
Turn on the program hold bit (Bit4) of the operation parameter. Program control is held (Suspended). While the program control is held, time progression is suspended, and fixed value control is performed with the set point (SP) at the time that the program control is held. While program is held, the Program Control RUN/HOLD LED (R/H0 or R/H1) of the PID module flashes. To resume the program control, turn off the program hold bit (Bit4).
Advance Next Function (Proceed to the next step)
Turn off to on the advance next step (Bit6) of the operation parameter. The current step is terminated and the program control is proceeded to the start of the next step. The advance next function is also effective while the program control is in wait action.
Advance Previous Function (Move back the program control) Turn off to on the advance previous step (Bit7) of the operation parameter. The progression of the current step is stopped and the program control is moved back. If the elapsed time in the current step is less than 1 minute, the program control goes back to the start of the previous step. If the elapsed time in the current step is longer than 1 minute, the program control goes back to the start of the current step. Even when the advance previous function is executed at Step 0, the program control does not move back to Step 9 regardless of the program end action.
Current Step Remaining Time
The remaining time of the current step is stored in the “Current Step Remaining Time” of Block 0. The remaining time is stored in seconds or minutes according to the Step time unit setting.
Current Step Number
The current step number (0 to 9) is stored in the “Current Step Number” of Block 0.
Program Wait (Perform program wait)
While the program wait is functioning, the program wait bit (Bit5) of the operating status is turned on. If the condition below is satisfied, the wait function is cancelled, the program control proceeds to the next step, and the program wait bit (Bit5) is turned off.
Set point (SP) - Wait value Process variable (PV) Set point (SP) + Wait value If the advance next function (Bit6) is turned from off to on or if the program control bit (Bit3) is turned off,
the wait function is canceled.
Program End Output (Program Termination)
When the program control is finished, the program end output bit (Bit6) of the operating status is turned on. If the program control bit (Bit3) of the operation parameter is turned off, the program end output bit (Bit6) is turned off. To start program control again, turn off to on the program control bit (Bit3) of the operation parameter.

When program control is started, the control starts from the PV starting point (25°C of the process variable).
PV Starting Point
Action when Program Control Starts
The program control mode start type can be selected from 3 types: PV start, PVR start, and SP start. When SP start is selected, the program control starts from the set point (SP) configured with “Set point (SP) when program control starts. When PV start or PVR start is selected, and the program control starts, the step time is advanced until the set point (SP) matches to the process variable (PV), and then the program control starts. For details about the program control mode start type, see page 6-41.
In the following example, the set point (SP) is 100°C, the step time is 60 minutes, and the process variable (PV) when program control starts is 25°C.
[SP Start] [PV/PVR Start]
Program End Action
Program end action can be selected from 3 types: Terminate program control, Continue program control (Repeat), and Hold program control. When the all steps from 0 to 9 are executed and completed, the program control is finished. When “Terminate program control” is selected, the PID module will enter standby status after the program control is finished. While in standby status, no control is performed and the control output is in OFF status. If “Continue program control (Repeat)” is selected, the program control is repeated from step 0 as many times as the repeat number configured. When “Hold program control” is selected, the program control is held (suspended) after the program control is finished, and the fixed value control is performed with the set point (SP) of Step 9. For details about the program end action, see page 6-43.

Action after Power Is Restored
When the power is restored, every bit of the operation parameter excluding the program hold bit stored in the data register is maintained. If the power is failed and restored while the PID module performs the program control, the PID module starts its operation in accordance with the original PID module status before the power failure as shown in the table below.
*1: The PID module is in standby status when the control enable bit is on but the program control bit is off. While in
standby status, the PID module performs no control.
*2: While the program control is running, the PID module saves the program control status every 6 minutes after the
program control is started (after the program control bit is turned on). The program control status is also saved at the start of each step. If the power to the PID module is turned off while the program control is running, the PID module resumes the program control from the latest saved point.
For example, if the power to the PID module is turned off in 7 minutes after the program control is started at step 0, the PID module resumes the program control at the status (1) when the power is restored. If the power to the PID module is turned off in 4 minutes after the program control enters step 1, the PID module resumes the program control at the status (2) when the power is restored. If the power to the PID module is turned off in 2 minutes after the program control enters step 2, the PID module resumes the program control at the status (3), which is the start of step 2, when the power is restored.
*3: To restart the program control from the start of step 0, turn off and on the program control bit (operation
parameter Bit3).

Program Pattern Example
The set point (SP) configured for each step is handled as the set point (SP) at the end of the step. The time configured for each step is the process time of each step.
PID MODULE MAIN FUNCTIONS
When the program pattern is configured as shown in the above table, the following control is performed at each step:
[Step 0]: The set point (SP) is gradually risen to 100°C in 60 minutes.
When the step 0 ends, the wait function works so that the program control does not
proceed to the step 1 until the process variable (PV) reaches 90°C.
[Step 1]: The fixed value control is performed at 100°C of the set point (SP) for 60 minutes.
[Step 2]: The set point (SP) is gradually risen to 800°C in 5 hours.
[Step 3]: The fixed value control is performed at 800°C of the set point (SP) for 30 minutes.
When the step ends, the wait function works so that the program control does not proceed to the step 3 until the process variable (PV) reaches 790°C.

Heating/Cooling Control

When it is difficult to control the target process with heating control only, cooling control can be added to perform the heating/cooling control. Control results derived from the set point (SP) and process variable (PV) are outputted to 2 outputs, heating output (CH0) and cooling output (CH1). If the process variable (PV) is higher than the set point (SP), cooling output will be turned on. If the process variable (PV) is lower than the set point (SP), heating output will be turned on. The area in which both heating and cooling outputs are turned on can be configured as overlap. The area in which neither heating output nor cooling output is output can be configured as dead band.
Example: Heating/Cooling control uses both heating and cooling outputs and is suitable for the heat producing
processes such as extruders or for temperature control at near ambient temperature such as environment testers.

Difference Input Control

Difference input control is the control to keep the input difference between input CH0 and input CH1 at the same level. When the difference input control is selected, input CH0 and input CH1 are independently measured, and the difference between those inputs is used as process variable (PV). PID module controls output so that the difference between those inputs is matched to the set point (SP).
Example 1: Controlling the liquid level difference of 2 tanks The PID module measures the liquid levels of 2 tanks and controls output to keep liquid level difference between Tank A and Tank constant.
Example 2: Cabinet Interior Dew Condensation Prevention The PID module measures interior and external temperatures of the cabinet and controls output to keep the temperature difference between interior and external cabinet constant so that dew condensation inside the cabinet can be prevented.

Cascade Control

The cascade control combines two PID controls to form one feedback loop to control a single target. The cascade control is effective for applications in which the delay time or dead time is considerably large. When delay time is large, it takes a long time for the process variable (PV) to change after the output manipulated variable (MV) is changed. By using the cascade control, highly stable control can be realized for such applications, though it takes time for the process variable (PV) to reach the set point (SP). CH1 control is used as the master and CH0 control as the slave of the cascade control. The output manipulated variable (MV) of the master (CH1 control) becomes the set point (SP) of the slave (CH0 control), and the control result of CH0 is outputted from the CH0 output. The output manipulated variable (MV) (0 to 100%) of the master (CH1 control) is corresponded to the set point (SP) of the slave (CH0) according to the external SP input linear conversion minimum and maximum values. For example, when the external SP input linear conversion minimum value is 100°C and the maximum value is 400°C, the output manipulated variable (MV) (0 to 100%) of the master (CH1 control) is converted as follows: 0% is converted to 100°C, 50% is converted to 250°C, and 100% is converted to 400°C. When a system using the cascade control is designed, it is required that the slave (CH0 control) have smaller delay time and faster response comparing to the master (CH1 control).
Example: The cascade control is used for an application in which the heat quantity of a heater is controlled using a power controller in order to control the temperature of the control target as shown in the figure below. It is also possible to utilize the heating/cooling control to prevent a rapid temperature rise of the control target by using a fan as the cooling output.

How to perform auto-tuning (AT) in cascade control
Auto-tuning (AT) can be performed for the cascade control with the following procedure.
Auto-tuning (AT) for the slave (CH0)
1. Turn off the CH0 and CH1 control enable bits of the operation parameter to disable the CH0 and CH1 controls.
2. Copy the set point (SP) of the master (CH1) to the set point (SP) of the slave (CH0), the external SP input linear conversion maximum value, and the external SP input linear conversion minimum value in order to fix the set point (SP) of the slave (CH0).
3. Turn on the CH0 and CH1 control enable bits of the operation parameter to enable the CH0 and CH1 controls. Turn on the CH0 auto-tuning (AT)/auto-reset bit of the operation parameter to start the auto-tuning (AT) for the slave (CH0). When auto-tuning (AT) is completed, P, I, D and ARW values of the slave (CH0) will be automatically configured.
Auto-tuning (AT) for the master (CH1)
4. Turn off the CH1 control enable bit of the operation parameter to disable the CH1 control.
5. Store the original values in the external SP input linear conversion maximum and minimum values.
6. Turn on the CH1 control enable bit and CH1 auto-tuning (AT)/auto-reset bit of the operation parame­ter to enable the CH1 control and start the auto-tuning (AT) for the master (CH1). When auto-tuning (AT) is completed, P, I, D and ARW values of the master (CH1) will be automati­cally configured
Notes:
When using the cascade control, store the same set point of the master (CH1) to the set point (SP) of the slave
(CH0).
The output manipulated variable (MV) (0 to 100%) of the master (CH1) corresponds to the set point (SP) of the
slave (CH0). The range of the set point is the external SP input linear conversion minimum value to the external SP input linear conversion maximum value.
Depending on each control target, optimum values of P, I, D and ARW may not be calculated with the auto-tuning
(AT). In such case, configure those parameters manually based on the P, I, D and ARW values calculated with the auto-tuning (AT).
Program Example of Auto-tuning (AT) for Cascade Control
A sample ladder program to execute the auto-tuning (AT) for the master (CH1) and slave (CH0) in the cascade control is described in the following page.

5: DEVICE ALLOCATION OF PID MODULE

This chapter describes the valid devices, control registers, control relays, and data register allocation for the PID module.

Device Allocation of PID Module

The PID module is used by connecting to the MicroSmart CPU module. To use the PID module, allocate the data register and internal relay to the PID module, configure the initial parameters using WindLDR, and down­load the user program and the parameters to the CPU module and the PID module. The initial parameters are downloaded to the CPU module along with the user program. The CPU module reads/writes data from/to the PID module according to the parameters configured in WindLDR.
The PID module parameters consist of 26 data blocks divided according to the function and frequency of use of each parameter as shown in the table below. All blocks to be used are allocated to the data registers in the CPU module. The parameters of each block can be read from/written to the PID module using the allocated control relays.
Block 0 includes parameters such as operating status, current process variable (PV), set point (SP), and output manipulated variable (MV) of the PID module. The CPU module reads those parameters from the PID module every scan. The control status and alarm status of the PID module can be monitored with Block 0 parameters.
Block 1 includes the set point (SP), manual mode output manipulated variable (MV), and operation parameters of the PID module. Those parameters are written to the PID module every scan. Operations such as changing the set point (SP) for the fixed value control, enabling/disabling the control, or performing auto-tuning (AT) can be carried out.
Blocks 2 and 3 include basic parameters of the PID module. By turning the control relay from off to on, parameters can be read from/ written to the PID module.
Blocks 4 and 5 include initial setting parameters of the PID module. Parameters that are usually not changed during the operation are stored.
Blocks 10 to 19 and 30 to 39 include parameters of each step of the program control. By turning the control relay from off to on, parameters can be read from/written to the PID module.

Program Size
The user program size that the PID module uses depends on CPU module type. The table below shows the program size required to use a PID module.

Valid Devices

The following devices can be allocated as the control register and relay for the PID module. Control register and relay should be configured for each PID module. Duplicated device cannot be configured.
Control Register
The PID module occupies a maximum of 590 data registers (minimum 190 data registers) per PID module. The occupied number of data registers varies between the fixed value control mode and program control mode. When both CH0 and CH1 are in fixed value control mode, 190 data registers are occupied, including the first data register designated. When either CH0 or CH1 is in program control mode, 590 data registers are occupied, including the first data register designated.
Precautions when Connecting Four PID Modules to All-in-One Type CPU Module
2000 data registers (D0 to D1999) are allocated to the all-in-one type CPU module. When four PID modules are connected to the all-in-one type CPU module, a maximum of six program controls can be conducted with three PID modules among the four PID modules.
The configurations shown in the examples 1 and 2 are not possible because the total number of occupied data registers exceeds 2000.
Example 1: Program control mode is selected in all four PID modules
Example 2: Program control mode is selected in all four PID modules
The configurations shown in the example 3 and 4 are possible because the total number of occupied data registers is less than 2000.
Example 3: Program control mode is selected in three PID modules

Notes about the control relays:
The control relay +0: Reading all parameters When this bit is turned off to on, all parameters stored in the ROM of the PID module are read out and stored in the data registers in the CPU module.
The control relay +1: Loading initial values When the user program is downloaded to the CPU module, the initial values of all parameters for the PID module are also downloaded and stored in the ROM of the CPU module. When this bit is turned off to on, the initial values stored in the ROM are loaded into the data registers (RAM).
The control relay +2: Writing all parameters When this bit is turned off to on, all parameters stored in the data registers are written to the ROM of the PID module.
• The control relay +3 through +27: Writing blocks 2 to 5, 10 to 19, and 30 to 39 When the writing bit is turned off to on, the corresponding block parameters stored in the data registers are written to the ROM of the PID module.
Data Flow of the PID module parameters
1. All parameters are read out from the PID module and stored in the data registers in the CPU module when the reading all parameters bit is turned off to on.
2. Initial values stored in the ROM of the CPU module are loaded to the data registers when the loading initial values bit is turned off to on.
3. All parameters stored in the data registers are written to the PID module when the writing all parameters bit is turned off to on.
4. The block parameters stored in the data registers are written to the PID module when the block writing bit is turned off to on.
Note:
The communication status between the CPU module and the PID module can be confirmed with the following data register.
When both CH0 and CH1 are in fixed value control mode: First data register + 189
When CH0 or CH1 is in program control mode: First data register + 589

When I0 is turned on, the new set point 2505 is stored in D1020 [set point (SP) of CH0].
1st Scan
At the rising edge of M100, M500 is turned on to read all parameters from the PID module.
M100 is turned off.
2nd Scan
At the falling edge of M100, M500 is turned off.
150 is stored in D1027 (integral time of CH0).
45 is stored in D1028 (derivative time of CH0).
M503 (Block 2 writing) is turned on to write block 2 parameters stored in D1026 to D1052 to the PID module.
Examples of changing the PID module parameters using the control relay
All parameters of block 1 to 5, 10 to 19, and 30 to 39 can be changed using a ladder program. The following examples demonstrate how the parameters of the PID module can be changed. See pages 5-7 to 5-24 for detail about each block parameter.
Example 1: Changing Block 1 Parameter
The set point (SP) of CH0 control (D1020) is changed to 250.5°C. In this example, D1000 is allocated to the control register and M500 is allocated to control relay.
When the new set point 2505 is stored in D1020 *1, it is automatically written to the PID module *2. Ladder Program Example:
When external input I0 is turned on, the set point (SP) of CH0 will be changed to 250.5°C.
*1: When the input range has a decimal point, store the value multiplied by 10 in the data register. *2: When the control register is D1000, Block 1 parameters are stored in D1020 to D1025. These values are written to
the PID module every scan.
Example 2: Changing Block 2 Parameters
The integral time (D1027) is changed to 150 seconds and the derivative time (D1028) is changed to 45 seconds for CH0 control. In this example, D1000 is allocated to the control register and M500 is allocated to control relay.
Those parameters can be changed with the following procedure.
1. Turn on M500 (Reading all parameters). All PID module parameters are read out from the PID module and stored in the data registers.
2. Store 150 in D1027 (integral time of CH0) and 45 in D1028 (derivative time of CH0).
3. Turn on M503 (Block 2 writing) *2. The integral time (150 sec) and derivative time (45 sec) will be written to the PID module.
Ladder Program Example:
*1
*1: If the reading all parameters bit (M500) is turned on, all PID module parameters are read out from the PID module
and stored in the data registers. Block 2 parameters are stored in D1026 to D1052.
*2: Block 2 parameters stored in D1026 to D1052 are written to the PID module. The parameters of the other blocks
are not written.

15 is stored in D1063 (PV filter time constant of CH0).
M505 (Block 4 writing) is turned on to write block 4 parameters stored in D1053 to D1102 to the PID module.
M102 is turned on.
Example 3: Changing Block 4 Parameter
The PV filter time constant (D1063) of CH0 is changed to 1.5 seconds. In this example, D1000 is allocated to the control register and M500 is allocated to control relay.
The parameter can be changed with the following procedure.
1. Turn on M500 (Reading all parameters). All PID module parameters are read out from the PID module and stored in the data registers of the CPU module. *1
2. Turn off D1022.0 (Control enable bit of CH0). CH0 control of the PID module will be disabled.
3. Store 15 in D1063 (PV filter time constant of CH0). *2
4. Turn on M505 (Block 4 writing). *3
5. Turn on D1022.0 (Control enable bit of CH0). CH0 of the PID module will be enabled.
Ladder Program Example:
*1: If the reading all parameters (M500) is turned on, all PID module parameters are read out from the PID module and
stored in the data registers. Block 4 parameters are stored in D1053 to D1102.
*2: For a value with a decimal point, store the value multiplied by 10 in the data register. *3: Block 4 parameters stored in D1053 to D1102 are written to the PID module. The parameters of the other blocks
are not written.
Note: If parameters of block 4 or 5 are changed while CH0 or CH1 control is enabled in the PID module, an unexpected operation of the PID module may be caused. It is recommended that the control channel of the PID module be disabled before changing the parameters of block 4 or 5.

Data Register Allocation - Block 1 Write Only Parameters

The CPU module writes the following parameters stored in the data registers to the PID module every scan.
Note: When the power to the PID module is turned off, Block 1 parameters are cleared to zero.
Operation Parameters
*1: Once auto-reset is performed, it cannot be cancelled during its performance. *2: The program control is suspended while the program hold bit is on. *3: During the program control, the current step is terminated and the program control is proceeded to the start of the
next step when the advance next step bit is turned off to on.
*4: During the program control, the progression of the program control is moved back when the advance previous step
bit is turned off to on. If the elapsed time in the current step is less than 1 minute, the program control goes back to the start of the previous step. If the elapsed time in the current step is more than or equal to 1 minute, the program control goes back to the start of the current step. Even when the advance previous step is executed at Step 0, the program control does not move back to Step 9 regardless of the program end action.

The PID module executes all steps 0 to 9 even if the times of steps are zero. When the program control is terminated, nine is stored in the current step number of block 0.
When hold program control is selected as the program end action, the program control is held, and the fixed value control is performed with the parameters of step 9 after all steps are executed.

Writing and Reading Parameters
When Write All Parameters or Read All Parameters is executed in the PID Module Configuration dialog box, all parameters will be written to/read from the PID module as follows.
Downloading and Uploading User Program
When the user program download *1 or upload is executed, the user program is downloaded to/uploaded from the CPU module as follows.
CONFIGURING PID MODULE USING WINDLDR
*1: When Write PID Module parameters after download is checked in the Download dialog, writing the PID module parameters will be executed after the user program is downloaded to the CPU module. The PID module parameters are written to the data registers in the CPU module and all PID modules configured in the Expansion Modules Configuration dialog box. For details, see the following page.
FC5A MicroSmart PID Module User’s Manual FC9Y-B1283 6-3
CONFIGURING PID MODULE USING WINDLDR
User Program Download
The user program contains the user program and the PID module parameters (initial values) configured in the PID Module Configuration dialog box. After the user program is downloaded to the CPU module, the CPU module can communicate with the PID Modules through the allocated data registers.
After the user program download, the following actions will be taken depending on whether Write PID Module parameters after download in the Download dialog box is checked or not.
When Write PID Module parameters after download is checked: After the user program is downloaded to the CPU module, the PID module parameters configured in the PID Module Configuration dialog box are written to the CPU module and the connected PID modules.
When Write PID Module parameters after download is not checked: After the user program is downloaded to the CPU module, the PID module parameters are not written to the PID module.
When Write PID Module parameters after download is checked, after the user program is downloaded to the CPU module, the PID module parameters configured in the PID Module Configuration dialog box will be written to the data registers in the CPU module and all PID modules configured in the Expansion Modules Configuration dialog box. However, if a PID module is not connected to the configured slot, writing parameters to the PID module will fail. Even after writing parameters to one PID module failed, WindLDR continues to write the parameters to all PID modules configured in the Expansion Modules Configuration dialog box.
If writing parameters fails, connect the PID module to the CPU module and write parameters to the PID module again.
To write the PID module parameters without downloading the user program to the CPU module, take the following steps:
1. Connect the PID module to the CPU module.
2. Open the PID Module Configuration dialog box for the slot.
3. Click on Write All Parameters button. All the configured parameters will be written to the data registers in the CPU module and the PID module.
6-4 FC5A MicroSmart PID Module User’s Manual FC9Y-B1283
User Program Upload
When the user program containing the initial parameters of the PID modules is uploaded from the CPU module, the initial values will be restored. The parameters saved in the PID module will not be read.
How to restore data register values when a keep data error has occurred
If more than 30 days pass since the power to the CPU module is turned off, values stored in the data registers will be lost. When the data register values are lost, after the power is turned on, restore the PID module parameters in the data registers of the CPU module using either of the following methods, and then enable the control of the PID module.
Method 1: Use the parameters stored in the PID module
The parameters stored in the PID module can be read out and stored in the data registers of the CPU module with one of the following procedures:
Procedure 1: Using WindLDR
1. Open Expansion Modules Configuration dialog box in WindLDR.
2. Select the slot number of the connected PID module and open the PID Module Configuration dialog box.
3. Click on Read All Parameters button to read all parameters from the PID module.
4. Configure the set point (SP) and the manual mode output manipulated variable in the PID Module Configuration dialog box. *1
5. Click on Write All Parameters button. When the control of the PID module is enabled, the PID module will start operating with the downloaded parameters.
Procedure 2: Using the user program
1. Turn off to on the reading all parameters relay (control relay + 0).
2. Configure the set point (SP) and the manual mode output manipulated variable if necessary. *1 When the control of the PID module is enabled, the PID module will start operating with the configured parameters.
*1: Because the block 1 parameters are not saved in the PID module, it is required to configure those parameters.
Method 2: Use the default parameters stored in the ROM of the CPU module
When the PID module parameters are configured in the PID Module Configuration dialog box and the user program is downloaded to the CPU module, the PID module parameters (initial values) will be saved in ROM of the CPU module. Those initial values can be loaded to the data registers in the CPU module, and the PID module can be operated with those initial values with the following procedure:
1. Turn off to on the loading initial values relay (control relay + 1).
2. Turn off to on the writing all parameters relay (control relay + 2). When the control of the PID module is enabled, the PID module will start operating with the default values.

Input CH1:
Input CH1 is used as the process variable (PV) for CH1 control.
Difference (CH0-CH1):
The difference between input CH0 and input CH1 is used as the process variable (PV) for CH1 control. Process variable (PV) of CH1 control = Input CH0 input value - Input CH1 input value
Difference (CH1-CH0):
The difference between input CH1 and input CH0 is used as the process variable (PV) for CH1 control. Process variable (PV) of CH1 control = Input CH1 input value - Input CH0 input value
Addition (CH0+CH1):
The addition of input CH0 and input CH1 is used as the process variable (PV) for CH1 control. Process variable (PV) of CH1 control = Input CH0 input value + Input CH1 input value
External SP Input:
Input CH1 is used as the set point (SP) for CH0 control.
When the external SP input bias is configured, the external SP input bias is added to the input CH1 value, and then the input CH1 value is used as the set point (SP) for CH0 control. One of the analog input types shown in the table blow can be selected for the external SP input.
Cascade Control:
The cascade control is an advanced control that uses 2 inputs [CH1 as a master (primary control) and CH0 as a slave (secondary control)] to control a single process.
Master (CH1) calculates the output manipulated variable (MV) according to the process variable (PV) and the set point (SP). The output manipulated variable (MV) of the master (CH1) is used as the set point (SP) of the slave (CH0). With the obtained set point (SP), the slave (CH0) calculates the output manipulated variable (MV) and controls the output CH0.

When the cascade control is used, the output CH1 is unused. When the output type is current, the output CH1 is 4 mA. When the output type is voltage, the output CH1 is 0 V. When the output type is relay, Output CH1 is turned off. When heating/cooling control is enabled, output CH1 is used as the cooling output. Output manipulated variable (MV) (0 to 100%) of the master (CH1) is converted using the external SP input linear conversion minimum and maximum values and is used as the set point (SP) of the slave (CH0).
Example: When the external SP input linear conversion minimum value is 0°C and the external SP input linear
conversion maximum value is 1000°C, the set point (SP) of the slave (CH0) is decided as follows: When master (CH1) output manipulated variable (MV) is 0%: 0°C When master (CH1) output manipulated variable (MV) is 50%: 500°C When master (CH1) output manipulated variable (MV) is 100%: 1000°C
Combination of Input CH0 and Input CH1 Functions
The possible combinations of Input CH0 and CH1 Functions are shown below. (O: Possible, X: Impossible)
(3) Control Register+57: Output CH0 Function
The one of the following output functions can be selected as the Output CH0 Function.
Output (CH0): The output of the CH0 control is outputted from output CH0
Output (CH1): The output of the CH0 control is outputted from output CH1
When Output (CH1) is selected, CH1 parameters are used for the control period and the output manipulated variable (MV) upper and lower limits. CH0 parameters are used for all other parameters, such as the output manipulated variable rate-of-change, output on/off hysteresis, and manual mode output manipulated variable.
When Output (CH1) is selected, output CH0 is unused. When output type is relay, the output CH0 is turned off. When output type is voltage/current, output CH0 is 0V/4mA.
Both Outputs (CH0, CH1): The output of the CH0 control is outputted from both outputs CH0 and CH1 The control period and output manipulated variable (MV) upper and lower limits of CH0 and CH1 are used for the corresponding output. CH0 parameters are used for all other parameters, such as, the output manipulated variable rate-of-change, output on/off hysteresis, and manual mode output manipulated variable.
(4) Control Register+134: Output CH1 Function
Output (CH1) is always selected as Output CH1 Function. The output of the CH1 control is outputted from output CH1. Output CH0 Function has priority.

PID Module Configuration - Input Parameters Details

Input parameters for CH0 control are described here. Input parameters for CH1 control are the same as those of CH0 control. However, the position from the control register for each parameter differs. For details about the positions from the control register for CH1 control, see 5-17 to 5-20.
(1) Control Register+58: Input Range
Select input type and input range unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit). For details about the input range, see 6-10.
(2) Control Register+62: PV Correction
If the sensor cannot be installed to the location of the control target, the temperature measured by the sensor may deviate from the actual temperature of the control target. When a target is controlled with multiple PID modules, the measured temperatures may not match due to the differences in sensor accuracy or dispersion of load capacities even though the set points (SP) of those PID modules are the same. In such cases, the process variable (PV) of the PID module can be adjusted to the desired temperature by using the PV Correction. The process variable (PV) after the PV correction should be within the control range (See 9-4). For example, when type K thermocouple (-200 to 1370°C) is selected as input type, configure an appropriate PV correction value so that the process variable (PV) after the PV correction does not exceed the control range (-250 to 1420°C) [(Input range lower limit - 50°C) to (Input range upper limit + 50°C)].
When the process variable (PV) after the PV correction is within the control range, the PID module controls the temperature based on the process variable (PV) after the PV correction. When the process variable (PV) after the PV correction is out of the control range, the under or over range error occurs and the control output is turned off
The process variable (PV) after the PV correction can be calculated using the following formula: Process variable (PV) after the PV correction = Process variable (PV) + (PV correction value)
Example 1: When process variable (PV) is 198°C If the PV correction value is 2.0°C, the process variable (PV) will be 200.0°C (198°C + 2.0°C). If the PV correction value is -2.0°C, the Process variable (PV) will be 196.0°C (198°C - 2.0°C).

Example 2: By setting the PV correction value for the PID module to 10.0°C, the process variable (PV) of the PID module is adjusted from 190°C to 200°C.
(3) Control Register +63: PV Filter Time Constant
The PV filter function is a software filter to stabilize the process variable (PV) affected by fluctuating processes, such as the pressure or flow rate, by calculating first-order lag of the process variable (PV). Even if the process variable (PV) changes as shown in the Figure 1, when the PV filter time constant is configured, the process variable (PV) changes as shown in the Figure 2. After the PV filtering process, the process variable (PV) reaches 63% of the process variable (PV) in T seconds. If the PV filter time constant is too large, it adversely affects the control results due to the delay of response.
Example: If the least significant digit of the process variable (PV) is fluctuating, the fluctuation can be suppressed by using the PV filter time constant.

Linear Conversion Function
The diagram below shows an example of the linear conversion. When the linear conversion maximum value is 5000 and the linear conversion minimum value is 0, the current input (4 to 20mA DC) is linearly-converted as shown in the diagram.
Set Point (SP) Upper Limit/Linear Conversion Maximum Value
When input type is thermocouple or resistance thermometer, the linear conversion is disabled. The linear conversion maximum value is used as the upper limit of the set point (SP). When input type is voltage/current, configure the maximum value of input CH0 as the linear conversion maximum value. Any value within the valid input range can be configured.
Set Point (SP) Lower Limit/Linear Conversion Minimum Value
When input type is thermocouple or resistance thermometer, the linear conversion is disabled. The linear conversion minimum value is used as the lower limit of the set point (SP). When input type is voltage/current, configure the minimum value of input CH0 as the linear conversion minimum value. Any value within the valid range can be configured.

When an alarm turns from on to off and vice versa, the span between on and off is called alarm hysteresis. If the alarm hysteresis is narrowed, the alarm output switches to on or off even by a slight variation of temperature at around the alarm action point. This frequent on/off of an alarm may negatively affect the connected equipment. To prevent that harmful effect, configure the alarm hysteresis for alarm on/off action.

The alarm is not triggered until the configured time elapses after the process variable (PV) enters the alarm output range. The input fluctuation due to noise may result in alarm output turning on. This can be prevented by configuring the alarm delay time. When an alarm output is changed from on to off status, the alarm output turns off and the alarm action delay time is reset. When the alarm output is changed from off to on status, the time counting starts.

Input Parameters when External SP Input is Selected
The input CH1 parameters when External SP input is selected as the Input CH1 Function are described here.
(1) Control Register+55: Input Range
Select input type for the external SP input. Current (4 to 20mA DC or 0 to 20mA DC) or voltage (0 to 1V DC or 1 to 5V DC) can be selected.
(2) Control Register+62: PV Correction
If the sensor cannot be installed to the location of the control target, the temperature measured by the sensor may deviate from the actual temperature of the control target. When a target is controlled with multiple PID modules, the measured temperatures may not match due to the differences in sensor accuracy or dispersion of load capacities even though the set points (SP) of those PID modules are the same. In such cases, the process variable (PV) of the PID module can be adjusted to the desired temperature by using the PV Correction.
The process variable (PV) after PV correction can be calculated using the following formula. Process variable (PV) after PV correction = Process variable (PV) + (PV correction value)
(3) Control Register +63: PV Filter Time Constant
The PV filter function is a software filter to stabilize the process variable (PV) affected by fluctuating processes such as pressure or flow rate by calculating first-order lag of the process variable (PV). Even if the process variable (PV) changes as shown in the Figure 1, when the PV filter time constant is configured, the process variable (PV) changes as shown in the Figure 2. After the PV filtering process, the process variable (PV) reaches 63% of the process variable (PV) in T seconds. If the PV filter time constant is too large, it adversely affects the control results due to the delay of response.
Example: If the least significant digit of the process variable (PV) is fluctuating, the fluctuation can be suppressed by using the PV filter time constant.

(4) Control Register+178: External SP Input Linear Conversion Maximum Value
Configure the linear conversion maximum value for the external SP input. When input type is current (4 to 20mA DC or 0 to 20mA DC), configure the value corresponding to 20mA for input CH1. When input type is voltage (0 to 1V DC or 1 to 5V DC), configure the value corresponding to 1V or 5V for input CH1.
Example: When input type is current (4 to 20mA DC), if the external SP input linear conversion maximum value is 1000°C, external SP input 20mA corresponds to the set point (SP) 1000°C for CH0 control. When input type is voltage (0 to 1V DC), if external SP input linear conversion maximum value is 1200°C, external SP input 1V corresponds to the set point (SP) 1200°C for CH0 control.
(5) Control Register+179: External SP Input Linear Conversion Minimum Value
Configure the linear conversion minimum value for the external SP input. When input type is current (4 to 20mA DC or 0 to 20mA DC), configure the value corresponding to 4mA or 0mA for input CH1. When input type is voltage (0 to 1V DC or 1 to 5V DC), configure the value corresponding to 0V or 1V for input CH1.
Example: When input type is current (4 to 20mA DC), if external SP input linear conversion minimum value is 0°C, external SP input 4mA corresponds to the set point (SP) 0°C for CH0 control. When input type is voltage (0 to 1V DC), if external SP input linear conversion maximum value is set to -20°C, external SP input 0V corresponds to the set point (SP) -20°C for CH0 control.
(6) Control Register+177: External SP Input Bias
The external SP input bias is added to the set point (SP) obtained after the linear conversion for the external SP input. The set point (SP) is then used as the set point (SP) for CH0 control.
Examples: When the input type is current (4 to 20mA DC), the linear conversion maximum value is 1000°C, the linear conversion minimum value is 0°C, and the external SP input bias is 50°C, the set point (SP) of CH0 control corresponding to 12mA of external SP input will be 550°C.
When the input type is voltage (0 to 1V DC), the linear conversion maximum value is 1000°C, the linear conversion minimum value is 0°C, and the external SP input bias is 50°C, the set point (SP) of CH0 control corresponding to 0.5V of external SP input will be 550°C.

PID Module Configuration - Control Parameters Details

Control Parameters when Program Control Mode Is Selected
Control parameters of CH0 control are described here. When the program control mode is selected as the control mode, parameters for the fixed value control mode, such as the set point (SP), proportional band/proportional gain, or integral time, are disabled. The parameters for the program control mode (23) to (27) are enabled. Control parameters for CH1 control are the same as those of CH0 control except cascade control parameters. However, the position from the control register for each parameter differs. For details about the positions from the control register for CH1 control, see pages 5-17 to 5-20.
(1) Control Register+90: Control Mode
Either fixed value control mode or program control mode can be selected. When the external SP input or the cascade control is selected in Input CH1 Function, the program control mode cannot be used for CH0 control. Select fixed value control mode for control mode of CH0 control. If the program control mode is selected, the external SP input does not function.

The fixed value control is a normal temperature control that the PID module controls the output to eliminate the deviation between a single set point (SP) and the process variable (PV). The following diagram shows an example of the fixed value control.
The program control allows you to define the set point (SP) that changes as the time progresses so that the process variable (PV) can be controlled to match the set point (SP) changing as the time progresses. The set point (SP) and time can be configured for each step. A maximum of 10 steps can be configured and performed. The set point (SP) can be configured as shown in the following diagram.
(2) Control Register+53: Control Action
Selects either direct control action or reverse control action. In direct control action, the output manipulated variable (MV) increases when the process variable (PV) is
higher than the set point (SP) (positive deviation). For example, freezers perform the direct control (cooling) action.
In reverse control action, the output manipulated variable (MV) increases when the process variable (PV) is lower than the set point (SP) (negative deviation). For example, electric furnaces perform the reverse control (heating) action.
