Every control strategy is also supported with a
standard controller I/O complement that includes
two 0/4-20 mA inputs, two digital/contact inputs,
one 0/4-20 mA output, and two contact outputs.
Also available for every control strategy is additional functionality provided by optional I/O modules that mount externally at the rear of the
controller for easy upgrade. Available option modules are as follows:
•
RS-232 Communications Module - provides
personal computer communication port connectivity (can not coexist with the RS-485 module).
•
RS-485 Communications Module - provides
datalink connectivity capabilities (can not coexist with the RS-232 module).
•
Universal Analog Input Module - provides one
or two isolated inputs that accept RTD, thermocouple, millivolt, volt, and frequency inputs.
The thermocouple and RTD inputs are automatically linearized.
•
2DI/2DO Module - provides two additional digital inputs and two digital outputs. With this
option, a time proportional or three-step output
can be applied to the 2DO relays for proportional speed floating control.

Tuning the 53SL6000 controller is automated with
EasyTune, the MicroMod algorithm designed to calculate the optimal PID values for precise analog control responses to process
deviations.
The 53SL6000 controller is easy to install due to its
small size. Installation depth is only 2 7/8 inches
(73 mm) without option modules and 4 21/32
inches (118.1 mm) with option modules. A 1 inch
(25.4 mm) access space is required for rear terminal plug removal and insertion.

2.5.1 Analog Inputs AI1 and AI2
In Figure 2-6, AI1 is connected to a transmitter that
requires power from the controller. Both, AI1
and/or AI2 can be connected to transmitters that
require controller power provided the total required
power does not exceed the specifications stated for
the transmitter supply in Section 1.3. The current
path for AI1 is from +24V to the + transmitter input,
through the transmitter element, out of the transmitter (-), to the AI1 plug connection, across the
internal 250 ohm (0.1%) voltage dropping resistor,
and down to Common.
In Figure 2-6, AI2 is connected to a transmitter type
that has its own power source and does not require
power from the controller. This transmitter type
can be connected to both AI1 and/or AI2. The
current path for AI2 is from the transmitter current
out (Io), to the AI2 plug connection, across the
internal 250 ohm (0.1%) voltage dropping resistor,
out the plug Common connection, to the transmitter

2.5.2 Discrete Outputs DO1 and DO2
Only DO1 is shown connected in Figure 2-6; connections to DO2 are identical. A discrete output
resistive load does not require transient suppression; however, reactive loads do to prevent coil
ringing or spiking from feeding back into the controller. The required diode shown as the suppression device is circuit dependent (typical: a 24V, 430
ohm, dc coil relay would require a 1N4003 diode).
2.5.3 Discrete Inputs DI1 and DI2
Only DI2 is shown connected in Figure 2-6; connections to DI1 are identical. In the figure, the
discrete input solid state circuitry is depicted as a
signal contact that opens or closes (logic states) in
response to input voltage levels (the discrete inputs
also work with dry contacts: ≤ 100 ohms is closed
and ≥ 5000 ohms is open).
2.5.4 Analog Output AO1
In Figure 2-6, the control output device is connected across the AO1 and COM lugs. Signal current passes from the AO1 connection, through the
device and back to Common. Control output device response to alter process operation is depenedent upon the analog signal amplitude.

2.6 Universal Analog Input Module
This information applies to only those controllers
with an optional universal analog input module.
2.6.1 Universal Analog Input Module
Backplane Installation
Figure 2-7 illustrates the universal analog input
module location on the controller backplane. The
universal input module is socket mounted and is
secured to the backplane with two screws. Also
shown in Figure 2-7 are the signal plugs AI3 (right
plug) and AI4 (left plug) that are screw mounted to
the universal analog input module (the plug mounting screws are not illustrated). Depending on the
option ordered, one (AI3) or both (AI3 and AI4) of
these plugs will require installation and input connections. The plugs for AI3 and AI4 are identical;
therefore, care should be taken to ensure each
plug is installed in its proper location. Each plug,
however, is keyed to prevent inverted insertion into
its module connector.
2.6.2.1 Thermocouple Connections and
Burn-out Detection
To ensure proper cold junction compensation
(CJC) operation, the steps to wire a thermocouple
to the universal analog input module are as follows:
Prepare the thermocouple leads as shown in

For dual universal analog input modules that
2.
will have one thermocouple connected, ensure
it is installed on AI3 and that the other input is
installed on AI4.
For dual universal analog input modules that
3.
will have only one terminal plug connected, the
other terminal plug must still be installed on the
module for proper performance.
4. Thermocouple Burn-out Detection
shown in Figure 2-8, an open thermocouple
detection (OTD) current, which is very small, is
provided at pin 3 of each connector plug. If pin
3 is wired to pin 1 and the thermocouple opens,
then a positive temperature over range results.
If pin 3 is wired to pin 2 and the thermocouple
opens, then a negative temperature over range
results.

is socket mounted and is secured to the backplane
with two screws. Also shown in Figure 2-9 are the
2DI and 2DO signal plugs that are screw mounted
to the module (the plug mounting screws are not
illustrated). The two plugs are different in size;
therefore, they can not be inadvertently installed in
the wrong sockets and each plug is keyed to prevent inverted insertion into its module socket.

Two wires are therefore connected to each lug:
one set (T+, T-, R+, R-, SC) that comes from the
previous node and another set that is connected to
the next datalink node.
Figure 2-12 illustrates the RS-232 module or the

supporting chart in the upper left that defines the
Off/On/Blinking status indicator states, and a summary chart at the bottom that lists the assigned
functions of each item call-out by control scheme.
The illustration item call-outs are defined in more
detail in Table 3-1.

exceeded the high
alarmed value.
When active, it indicates
alarm 2 of the selected
alarm index limits (e.g.
