iB12 Operating Display

1.1 About this User Guide

This user guide contains all the information needed to configure and operate the iB6 and iB12 Integrated Temperature Controllers.

Wiring diagrams, mounting instructions and other information about installing the hardware are on the installation diagrams shipped with the unit.

1.2 iB6 & iB12 Features and Benefits

1.2.1 Multi-Zone Control with Convenient User Interface

A single iB6 Temperature Controller can provide microprocessor-based control of up to six zones; a single iB12 Hot Runner controller can control up to twelve zones. Zones can be configured individually or all zones can be configured simultaneously.

During operation the front panel simultaneously displays the process value and setpoint for every zone. LEDs for each zone indicate the type of control (open or closed loop), output status, alarm status, boost status and standby status. Buttons on the front panel make it easy to change the setpoint, mode and configuration parameter values for one selected zone or all zones.

The front panel also has buttons to:

• start the boost for all zones,

• put all zones in Idle or all Idle zones in the Run state,

• silence the audible alarm.

When necessary, access to function buttons on the front panel can be restricted.

Refer to Section 7. for details on how to enable or disable functions.

Temperature Controller iB6 / iB12

1.2.2 PID Control with Autotuning

When an iB6 or iB12 zone is in Normal (closed loop) mode, Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is provided. The iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controllers also support Manual (open loop) mode that overrides automatic control. In Manual mode you control the output by entering a fixed output percentage value.1 A zones transfer from PID to manual is “bumpless” when the process value is within 5 °C (9 °F) of the setpoint.

Using PID control, the controller modulates output power by adjusting the output power percentage within a configurable proportional band. Power is proportionally reduced as the process temperature gets closer to the setpoint temperature.

The configurable derivative action affects the output based on the rate of change of the process value.

The integral action affects the output based on the duration of the process value’s variation from the setpoint. In the iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controllers, the integral (reset) action is always equal to six times the configured derivative (rate) action.

An Autotune function is standard on every iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controller. This feature for easy tuning of the proportional and derivative, components of the control algorithm can be initiated every time the controller is powered up, once when the controller is set up regardless of success (and again by changing a parameter value), once only if successful (repeated at each power up until successful), or never.

Instructions for tuning the controller automatically and manually are in Section 6.

1.2.3 CompuStep® Soft Start for Heater Bake Out

All iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controllers support the CompuStep® soft start feature, which allows slow dissipation of moisture in heaters by gradually applying power to the heaters. Using this feature helps extend the life of the heaters and the moulds. When a soft start is executed, single cycle bursts start at 5% output power and step up the output 5% every 30 seconds.

• The soft start when the controller is in Normal (closed loop) mode lasts five minutes or until the process temperature reaches 93 °C (200 °F).

• The soft start when the controller is in Manual (open loop) mode continues until the output is the lower of 50% or the target Manual mode output percent.

By default, a soft start will be executed:

• Every time the controller starts (after being taken out of Idle) and the process value is less than 93 °C (200 °F), and

• Every time the controller is returned to Normal (automatic) operation and the PV is less than 93°C (200 °F).

1.0 Introduction

1

Use of a fixed output percentage is also possible under other circumstances. Configuration parameters let you specify a fixed output to be used as a failsafe action, a different fixed output percentage to be used in standby mode, and another fixed output percentage used during the boost function described in 1.2.4.

8

Temperature ControlleriB6 / iB12

1.0 Introduction

1.2.4 Programmable Boost Function

Every iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controller supports a boost function. For each zone you can use the Boost Config menu to configure a special setpoint (closed loop boost) or a special fixed output percentage (open loop boost) to be used when the boost button is pressed.

The boost function will remain active until:

• the configured boost duration time has expired, or

• you use the mode/enter

button to take a zone out of boost mode before the expiration of the

boost duration.

1.2.5 Process-Protection Features

Process-protection features are standard on all iB6 and iB12 controllers. These features include:

• high and low deviation alarms

• high temperature safety limit

• loop break detection

• failsafe operation in case of sensor problems

1.2.6 Security

The iB6 and iB12 front panels include buttons that can be used to change the selected zones setpoint and mode and to boost the output temporarily by a configurable amount. Users who know the Supervisor password can limit access to these buttons on the front panel, plus limit configuration access. (Units are shipped with password protection disabled.)

1.0 Introduction

1.4 What Happens When You Power Up the Controller

When an iB6 or iB12 Temperature Controller is powered up using the switch on the back, all LEDs and all elements in the LCD display light briefly, and then software versions (of the display and the controller hardware) are displayed.

At the conclusion of the startup process, the process values and setpoints for all zones are displayed. Only the green LED for the display unit of measure (Celsius or Fahrenheit) is lit.

All zone outputs will be off because the unit starts up with all zones in the Idle state. Briefly pressing the run/idle button on the front of the case puts all zones that are currently

Idle in the Run state. (Pressing the button again for at least two seconds puts all zones in Idle.) In each zones column of LEDs, the green LED in the closed loop or open loop row is lit to

indicate the type of control. The green LEDs in the output row indicate whether the zones outputs are on (LED lit) or off.

For more information about the user interface, see the Section 3.

When zones go into the Run state, the effect on each zones output depends on the value of the Startup Mode parameter configured using the Control Config menu.

Refer to 5.4 for Startup Mode parameter details

10

Temperature ControlleriB6 / iB12

2.0 Setup Sequence

2.1 Setup Sequence

The following list summarises the configuration and startup tasks to be accomplished once the controllers are wired as shown on the diagrams shipped with the unit.

Refer to Section 5 for information about all configuration parameters, parameter interactions and valid ranges.

1) Turn on the controller using the switch on the back (shown below). When the unit is powered up, the controller goes through its startup sequence (see 1.4), and then the process value and setpoint for every zone (the standard operating display) are shown. All zones will be Idle (all

outputs off).

If the controller has already been wired to the sensors and heaters, do NOT push the run/idle

button on the front of the case until after you have configured the zones and entered custom

setpoints. When zones are taken out of Idle, their outputs may go on unless you change the

default parameter values.

2) Take unneeded zones out of service by setting them to Offline.

a) Select a zone by pressing the zone selection button until only that zones

PV and SP are displayed. (Zone numbers are above the column of status LEDs

for each zone.) b) Access the mode-selection function by pressing the mode/enter button . c) Step through the possible modes by pressing the

button repeatedly until “Offline”

is displayed. d) Exit the mode-selection function by pressing the menu-access/exit button .

A confirmation message will be displayed briefly and then the PV and SP for the zone will

be displayed as “OFF.”

3) Notice that the green C (for Celsius) or F (for Fahrenheit) LED is lit. This LED indicates the unit of

measure for the process values and setpoints displayed. If you want to change the unit of measure used for temperature displays: a) With any zone selected, press and hold the menu-access/exit button until the name of

a configuration menu is displayed.

b) Step through the menus by pressing repeatedly until the Display Config menu name is

displayed.

c) To access the Display Units parameter, press . The currently selected unit of

measure will alternate with the parameter name on the lower line of the display. Notice that an asterisk * is displayed instead of a zone number. This asterisk indicates that the parameter applies to all zones.

d) Change the unit of measure by pressing or . e) Exit the menu system by pressing and holding for several seconds. The PV and SP

for all zones (except any offline zones) will be displayed in the selected unit of measure. Other temperature values previously entered while a different unit of measure was in use will be converted automatically.

4) If the factory settings listed in subsection 3.6 are not appropriate for your application, you can

change a parameter value for one or all zones. a) To select one zone, press repeatedly until only that zones PV and SP are displayed. To select all zones, press repeatedly until the PV and SP for all zones are displayed

with asterisks between the PV and SP for zones 3 and 4 (refer to the image below) on an iB6 unit. (On an iB12 unit, asterisks will also be displayed between the PV and SP for zones 9 and 10.)

b) Press and hold to enter the menu system. c) Step through the menus by pressing repeatedly until the name of the menu you want

is displayed.

d) Step through the menu items by pressing

until the parameter you want is displayed,

alternating with its current value.

e) Change the value by pressing or . When changing a numerical value, you can hold

down an arrow button for fast changes. f) Exit the menu system by pressing and holding for several seconds. Note that the default High [Temperature] Safety [Limit] (a Supervisor parameter) is Off

by default. If you want the controller to turn off the output to a zone that exceeds the high

limit, change the value of the High Safety parameter.

5) iB6 and iB12 units are shipped with the Supervisor password set to 100, which disables

password protection. If you want to limit access to the Superv [Supervisor] Config menu, change the Supervisor password from the default 100. As long as the password is 100, no password will be required to access all functions (except settings on the Factory Config menu).2

6) Change Normal mode (closed loop) setpoints or Manual mode (open loop) output percentage by

selecting a zone, and then pressing or to change the setpoint or output percent. A few seconds after you stop pressing an arrow button, the main display (PV and SP) will return.

Tip: If all zones are in the same mode (Normal or Manual), you can select all zones as described

above, and then change the setpoint temperature or manual mode output percentage for all zones simultaneously.

7) Autotune all zones that will operate in Normal (closed loop) mode; see Section 6. When

Autotuning has been completed successfully for all Normal zones, the controller is ready to use. The appropriate green status LED in the column of LEDs for each zone will be lit:

4.0 Alarms & Alarm Indication

4.1 Types of Alarms

The iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controllers support high and low deviation alarms, configurable separately for each zone (see subsection 5.6). The unit also recognises process problems (such as loop break, reversed and open sensors, and process temperature exceeding configured safety limit) and problems with its own operation.

4.2 Alarm Indication

When a zone is in alarm:

• its red alarm LED flashes rapidly (Slow flashes mean an alarm was detected, but the problem

does not affect operation now. For example, a zones red alarm LED flashes slowly if an open thermocouple is detected, but the zone is operating in Manual mode (in which no sensor value is used by the controller to calculate the output)

• the alarm relay closes

• a code for the type of alarm alternates with display of the setpoint (Normal mode or other closed-

loop mode such as closed-loop boost) or output percentage (Manual mode or other open-loop mode such as open-loop standby); and

• unit beeps until the alarm condition is cleared or the zone is put in Idle mode or the alarm is

silenced (refer to Section 4.3 below).

4.3 Silencing Alarm Beep

You can temporarily silence the alarm beep by pressing the alarm silence button . Beeping will be silenced for the configured number of seconds. (The default is 120 seconds.)

4.4 External Indication

An output on the back of the controller allows external devices (such as horns or lights) to be connected to the controller for alarm annunciation. For more information about this feature, see the diagrams shipped with the controller.

This alarm output is not affected when the alarm silence button on the front of the controller is pressed.

6.0 PID Controller Tuning

6.1 Introduction

iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controllers support automatic tuning for control of zones running in CompuCycle Normal (closed loop) mode.

By default, every iB6 and iB12 controller is configured to execute the Autotune operation the first time it is powered up, then to disable the Autotune feature, even if Autotune was not successful.

The Autotune operation overwrites any existing proportional band and derivative (rate) parameter values that were previously configured.

All iB6 and iB12 controllers in a single process should be Autotuned simultaneously, so that interactions between zones during tuning parallel the interactions expected while the controllers are in use.

6.2 Procedure for Autotuning

To Autotune:

1) Make sure the controller is in Idle state (only the green C or F LED lit).

2) After configuring any parameters that you want to change from the defaults, enter a setpoint that

is representative of the setpoint you expect to use when the selected zones are in Normal mode operation.

3) If Autotuning has been attempted in the past, the Autotune feature may be disabled. To force an

Autotune operation, use the Control Config menu to set the PID Autotune parameter to Enable.

4) Cycle the power to the controller.

5) At this point the controller may execute a CompuStep® soft start.

6.0 PID Controller Tuning

During the Autotune operation, the display for the selected zones blinks “Tun.” Unless you want to terminate the Autotune by changing a zones mode, do not press any buttons during the Autotune operation. The lower line will continue to display the setpoint you entered in Step 2.

When the controller has completed Autotuning a zone successfully, the controller will save the tuning parameter values in the Proportional Band and Derivative (rate) parameters for all zones that have Autotuned successfully. (The new tuning values can be viewed using the Control Config menu.)

If Autotune was unsuccessful for a zone, the zone will:

• usedefaultvaluesforPIDparameters,

• gointoalarm(redLEDlitinthe

row),

• displayitsprocessvaluealternatingwithoneofthetuningerrorcodeslistedin6.3,and

• gotoconfiguredfailsafestate;theeffectonazonesoutputdependsonhowyouconfiguredthe

Fail Safe Action parameter in the Superv [Supervisor] Config menu.

To clear the error display and put the zone(s) in standby mode, use the mode button . (The effect on each zones output depends on the standby configuration selections you made using the Control Config menu.)

Fix the problem (see error code meanings in next subsection) and try tuning again. Once Autotune has been completed successfully for all Normal zones (“NRM” mode displayed) use

the Control Config menu to disable PID Autotune.

6.3 Autotune Errors

The Autotune error codes are in the table below.

Error Code Description

Tu3

Setpoint is lower than the process value. Look at the setpoint. If it is realistic for your process, then check the thermocouple leads; maybe they are reversed.

Tu5

The initial process value and the setpoint are not far enough apart. For Autotune to work, the difference must be at least 5 °C (9 °F).

Tu8

The startup curve (change in PV) was not acceptable to the Autotune algorithm. This problem could be caused by a process upset that occurred during tuning. Try Autotuning again when the process is stable. If the error recurs, your process is not suitable for Autotuning. Use manual tuning as described in 6.4.

Tu9

The Autotuning timed out, because the process was unresponsive (or extremely slow to respond). Your process is not suitable for Autotuning. Tune the controller manually as described in 6.4.

Tun0

The Autotune operation failed for a reason other than those listed above. Try Autotuning again when the process is stable.

6.0 PID Controller Tuning

6.4 Manual Tuning (Zeigler-Nichols PID Method)

6.4.1 Introduction

This tuning method may be used if the spread between initial process temperature and process operating temperature is small, or if the process is too slow for Autotuning. Manual tuning requires that zones be tuned one at a time and that the PV be tracked over time. (Graph the displayed PV against time manually.) All zones should be running while manually tuning one zone.

After you have finished manual tuning, you can change the Startup Mode parameter setting and enable soft start (recommended).

6.4.2 Procedure

To do manual tuning:

1) After configuring any parameters that apply to your control strategy, enter a setpoint that is

representative of the setpoint you expect to use when the selected zone is in Normal operation.

2) Go to the Control Config menu.

3) For now, leave the Proportional Band set to 13 °C (24 °F), but change the Derivative (PID rate) to

0 seconds.

4) In the Control Config menu, set the PID Autotune parameter to Disable.

5) Return to the standard operating display and watch the behavior of the displayed process value.

When the temperature reaches setpoint, plot a graph of the displayed process value against time or record the time period between temperature peaks. (Be patient. It may be several minutes before you see up and down changes (oscillation) in the process value for a manifold zone.)

6) If the temperature (process value) will not oscillate, then decrease the proportional band value

by repeatedly halving the value (dividing it by 2) until a small, sustained temperature oscillation is seen.

Alternatively, if the temperature (process value) oscillates severely, double the proportional

band value (multiple it by 2) repeatedly until a small, sustained temperature oscillation is observed.

7) Measure the period in seconds of one cycle of oscillation (“T” on the diagram below).

8) Divide the period of oscillation (T) by 8. The resulting number (quotient) is the correct Derivative

parameter value (rate) time in seconds.

9) Access the Control Config menu and enter the Derivative value obtained in Step 8. The integral

time will be set automatically to 6 times the rate. (You cannot view the integral term value.)

10) If the process is stable, manual tuning is completed. However, if slight oscillation is observed,

multiply the current proportional band value by 1.66 and enter the product as the new PID Proportional Band value to complete the tuning procedure for this zone.

8.0 Resetting Default Values

8.1 Introduction

Using this function returns all configuration parameter values for the selected zone(s) to their defaults (shown in Section 5). The setpoints for the selected zone(s) will be changed to 25 °C (77 °F).

Reloading defaults never affects the following settings that apply to the whole controller: display units, input type. These settings that apply to the whole controller are not reset, even if all zones are selected before loading defaults.

When all zones have been selected for resetting defaults, some settings that apply to the whole controller WILL be reset to the defaults shown in shown in Section 5. These values that are returned to the defaults include the Supervisor password (which will be reset to 100, disabling password protection) and access control settings described in Section 7.

After loading defaults, you will need to cycle power to the controller before you can resume operation.

8.2 Procedure

To load defaults to selected zones:

1) Put the controller in the Idle state by pressing

for at least two seconds. (When the whole

controller is in the Idle state, only the green C or F LED will be lit.)

2) Select the zone for which you want to load defaults by pressing

until only that zones SP and

PV are displayed. Alternatively, select all zones by pressing

until all zones SP and PV are displayed with asterisks ** between the values for zones 3 and 4 (iB6), or between 3 and 4, and 9 and 10 (iB12).

3) Access the menu system by pressing

until a menu name is displayed, and then press

repeatedly until the name of the Superv Config menu is displayed.

4) Step through the parameters by pressing

repeatedly until Load Defaults is displayed.

5) Choose “Yes” by pressing

or

.

6) Exit the menu system by pressing and holding

until “Power Cycle the System” is displayed.

7) Cycle power to the controller. When powered up, the controller will use the default settings for the zone(s) selected in step 2.
