GETTING STARTED

1. Install the control as described on page 4.

2. Wire your control following the instructions on page 5. If you are using a two-wire
transmitter as an input, see the drawing and instructions on page 6. Option wiring
instructions are on Page 7. Option descriptions and specific instructions start on
page 13.

3. Most controls do not need many (if any) program changes to work on your
process. For best results when changing the programming, make all the necessary
changes in the Secure Menu (page 22) before making changes to the Secondary
Menu (page 16). If error messages occur, check the Error Messages on page 31-33
for help.

Take the example of a Series CN78000 that comes from the factory pr ogrammed for
type J thermocouples. Suppose for this example you wish to change the input to a
100 ohm Platinum RTD and limit the set point range between 0° and 300°C.

First enter the Secure menu by pressing and holding the UP ARROW & ENTER keys

Page 2

for 5 Seconds (see Page 22.) Press the INDEX key until the display shows 1nP
and press the DOWN ARROW until the display shows P385. Don’t forget to
press the ENTER key to retain your setting.

Next, press the INDEX key to display Unit. Press the DOWN ARROW
until the display shows C. Press ENTER.

Next, press the INDEX key until SPL is displayed (pass the dPt and 1nPt selec­tions). Press the UP ARROW until the display shows 0. Press ENTER.

Finally, press INDEX key to display SPH. Press the DOWN ARROW until
the display shows 300. Press ENTER.

The necessary program changes are now complete. After 30 seconds the display will
switch back to the temperature reading. If you want to return faster, press the

UP ARROW and ENTER keys (at the same time) and then press the

DOWN ARROW and INDEX keys (again at the same time). This will ‘back

out’ of the menu and immediately display the temperature reading.
If you want to use Self Tune or Auto/Manual features, see the special sections on

these items. Page numbers for these are in the Contents section on the previous
page.

INSTALLATION

Mount the instrument in a location that will not be subject to excessive temperature,
shock, or vibration. All models are designed for mounting in an enclosed panel.

Select the position desired for the instrument on the panel. If more than one instru­ment is required, maintain the minimum of spacing requirements as shown on the
drawing below. Closer spacing will structurally weaken the panel, and invalidate the
IP66, UL type 4X rating of the panel.

Prepare the panel by cutting and deburring the required opening.

All Tolerances are -0.00 +0.60mm (-0.000 + 0.020 in.)

From the front of the panel, slide the housing through the cut out. The housing gas­ket should be against the housing flange before installing.

From the rear of the panel slide the mount­ing collar over the housing. Hold the hous­ing with one hand and using the other
hand, push the collar evenly against the
panel until the spring loops are slightly
compressed. The ratchets will hold the
mounting collar and housing in place.

CAUTION: It is not necessary to remove the instrument chassis
from the housing for installation. If the instrument chassis is
removed from the housing, you must follow industry standard
practice for control and protection against Electro-Static
Discharge (ESD). Failure to exercise good ESD practices may
cause damage to the instrument.

WIRING

Do not run RTD, thermocouple, or other class 2 wiring in the same
conduit as power leads. Use only the type of thermocouple or
RTD probe for which the control has been programmed. Maintain
separation between wiring of sensor, optional inputs and outputs
and other wiring. See the “Secure Menu” for input selection.

For thermocouple inputs always use extension leads of the same type designated
for your thermocouple.

For supply connections use No. 16 AWG or larger wires rated for at least 75°C.
Use copper conductors only. All line voltage output circuits must hvave a common
disconnect and be connected to the same pole of the connect.

Input wiring for thermocouple, current, and RTD; and output wiring for current and
15 VDC is rated CLASS 2.

Control wiring is as shown (view is from the rear of instrument showing wiring ter­minals).

Note: Factory default assigns Output A to Set Point 1 and Output B to Set Point 2.
If necessary, these realtionships may be reversed. See SP 10 in the Secure Menu.

For Pulsed DC, Current, or DC SSR
ouputs (Output codes 2, 4, or 8), 15 &
17 are positive, 16 & 18 are negative.

Wiring for 4 to 20mA Transmitter Inputs

Wiring power and ouputs as shown above. Two-wire transmitters wire as shown
below. View is of instrument as seen from the rear to show wiring terminals.
For three or four-wire transmitters, follow the wiring instructions provided with your
transmitter.

CAUTION: DO NOT WIRE THE 24 VOLT POWER SUPPLY
ACROSS THE INPUT OF THE CONTROL. DAMAGE TO THE
CONTROL INPUT CIRCUITRY WILL OCCUR.

Wiring for Optional Inputs and Outputs

Options are described on Page 3. Detailed option programming and operation
starts on Page 13. Wire power and outputs as shown on Pages 5 and 6. Wiring
for options is shown opposite. All wiring shown above is CLASS 2. Shielded twist­ed pair is required for Option C4. Shielded cable is required for Option C2.

CAUTION: DO NOT RUN SIGNAL WIRING IN THE SAME CON­DUIT OR CHASE AS THE POWER WIRING. ERRATIC OPERATION
OR DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL CIRCUITRY WILL OCCUR.

FRONT PANEL KEY FUNCTIONS

The decimal point flashes when Self Tune is operating.
Keys are illuminated when pressed. Key functions are as follows:

INDEX: Menu Navigation. Pressing the INDEX key advances the dis-
play to the next menu item. May also be used in conjunction with other
keys as noted below.
UP ARROW: Increments a value, changes a menu item, or selects the
item to ON. The maximum value obtainable is 9999 regardless of decimal
point placement.
DOWN ARROW: Decrements a value, changes a menu item, or selects
the item to OFF. The minimum value obtainable is -1999 regardless of
decimal point placement.
ENTER: Pressing ENTER stores the value or the item changed. If
not pressed, the previously stored value or item will be retained. The dis­play will flash once when ENTER is pressed.

. UP ARROW & ENTER: Menu Access. Pressing these keys simul­taneously brings up the secondary menu starting at the alarm, tune, or
cycle item (depending on programming). Pressing these keys for 5 sec­onds will bring up the secure menu.

. INDEX & DOWN ARROW: Menu navigation. Pressing these keys
simultaneously will allow backing up one menu item, or if at the first menu
item they will cause the display to return to the primary menu.

INDEX & DOWN ARROW: Alarm Reset. If an alarm condition has
occurred, press and hold these keys for three seconds to reset the alarm.
Note that the alarm condition will not reset if the alarm condition
still exists.

. INDEX & ENTER: ‘Global Reset’. Pressing these keys simultaneous-

ly and holding them for 5 seconds forces a ‘warm boot’, restarting the

Page 8

control (similar to turning power off and on). ‘Global Reset’ will allow recovery from
errors and reset the following menu items:

AL iH: Alarm inhibit 0PEn 1nP: Input error
bA nP: Input err CHEC CAL: Check calibration

Correct the problems associated with the above conditions before using the reset
keys. More than one error could present. Caution is advised since several items are
reset at one time.

While in the Primary or Secondary Menu, if no key is pressed for a period of 30
seconds, the display will return to the HOME position displaying the temperature
value. While in the Secure Menu, if no key is pressed for a period of 60 seconds,
the display will return to HOME position displaying the temperature value. Outputs
are disabled (turned off) when the Secure Menu is active.

NOTE: To move the Primary Menu quickly from any other menu, press the

UP ARROW & ENTER keys followed by pressing the INDEX &

DOWN ARROW keys.

SECURITY LEVEL SELECTION

Four levels of security are provided. The display shows the current security level. To
change security levels, change the password value using the UP ARROW and

DOWN ARROW keys and press the ENTER key. Refer to the password

table for the correct value to enter for the security level desired. The SECr menu
item security level may be viewed or changed at any time regardless of the present
security level.

Example: To set security access level to 2, at the SECr menu item, press the
UP ARROW key until the upper display shows the password for level 2 access,

1101. Press the ENTER key. The display will blink and return with the level
value, 2, in the upper display.
The password values shown in the table cannot be altered, so retain a copy of
these pages for reference. This is the only reference made to password values in
this intruction book.

NOTATION CONVENTIONS FOR THE MENUS

Because of the number of features available in this control, information is included
that may not apply to your specific control. All usable features are included in this
book, but may not be used in your process. To increase clarity, the following con­ventions are used:

1. Certain features, menu items, and functions shown in this book may or may not
appear on your control, depending on other menu item selections. At various
places in the menu there are notes identifying menu items that “control” or “direct”
other menu items. If you are looking for a particular menu item and can’t find it,
check the menu item that is it’s “control” for proper setting

2. The “#” symbol is used in two ways. It is used inside group of characters to indi­cate which set point function (SP1 or SP2) is being affected. It is also used before
a group of characters of a menu item to indicate that there may be more than one
selection or value for that menu item. This is used for certain repeated items such
as in the Ramp/Soak Program section.

3. Features that apply only to Options will be printed in Italics.

Page 10

THE HOME DISPLAY

The home display is the normal display while the control is operating. If no errors or
functions are active, the HOME display will indicate the Process Variable (the tem­perature, pressure, flow, RH, etc., that is being measured) on the top display and the
Set Variable (Set Point 1) on the bottom.

Items that can change the HOME display are the Auto/Manual function, the
Run/Hold function, the Pro9 function, the Pct0 function, and any error message.
Description of these special displays follows.

If the Auto/Manual key is pressed, the Manual indicator lights, and the home
display is changed. The upper display continues to show the Process Variable (PV),
but the lower display changes to show the percentage of output in tenths of a per­cent to 99.9% (0.0 to 99.9) or 100 if 100%. The display digit to the right of the num­ber shows a flashing letter o to indicate that the value displayed is no longer the SV,
but percent output. The SP2 percent output is indicated by the use of an overline on

i

the o. Access to the SP2 value is made by the INDEX key. See Auto/ Manual
Operation on Page 14 for further information.

If Pro9 is tur ned 0n, the HOME display changes the SV display from SP1 to the
Present Set Variable as calculated by the Ramp/Soak Programmer function. See
Programming and Operation for Ramp/Soak Feature below for more information.

If Pct0 (Secondary Menu) is turned 0n, the lower display changes to show the active
percentage of output as required to maintain SP1. The display is similar to the
Auto/Manual display above, except that the percent indicators (o,o) do not flash, and
the output is displayed in whole percentages of output, not in tenths of a percent. If
the control has both SP1 and SP2, the lower display will alternate between the SP1
percent output and the SP2 percent output.

Error messages are listed on Pages 37-39.

OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING OF OPTIONS

Option PV1, PV2, Isolated Analog Retransmission

The analog retransmission option allows the process variable or the Set Variable to
be sent as an analog signal to an external device. The signal may be either 0 to 10
VDC (Option PV2) or o (or 4) to 20 mADC (option PV1). THe output may be changed
in the field from one to the other by the toggle switch located on the top printed cir­cuit board.

Wire the output as shown on page 7.
To set up the analog retransmission, first determine the scale range that the analog

signal will represent. The maximum scale is 9999°F, 5530°C, or 9999 counts. In the
Secondary Menu set

P0L for the scale value that will be represented by the high end

of the analog signal (10 Volts or 20 mA).
If you require a suppressed scale or output, use the following equations to determine

the proper setting for P0L and P0H.
K = (Highest desired scale reading - Lowest desired scale reading) /

(Maximum desired analog signal - Minimum desired analog signal).

P0H = ((Maximum possible analog output - Maximum desired analog signal) * K) /

+ Highest desired analog reading.

P0L = Lowest desired scale reading - ((Minimum desired analog output) * K).

Next select whether you want the retransmission signal to follow the Process
Variable or the Set Variable. Usually the Process Variable is sent to recor ders or other
data acquisition devices. Usually the Set Variable is sent to other contr ols to be used
as an analog remote set point. If you want the analog retransmission signal to follow
the PV, in the Secondary Menu set P0Sr to 1nP. If you want the analog retransmis­sion signal to follow the SV, set P0Sr to SPt.

Operation is automatic. There are no further programming steps required.

Option C2, C4, Serial Communication

The serial communications options allow the control to be written to and read from
a remote computer or other similar digital device. Communication is allowed either
through a RS-485 (Option C4) port, or a RS-232 (Option C2) port.

Wire the communication lines as shown on Page 7. Wiring for the RS-485 is run from
control to control in a daisy chain fashion with a termination resistor (120 ohms)
across the transmit and receive terminals of the last control in the chain.

Select the control address and communication baud rate with the Addr and bAUd
menu items in the Secure Menu.

Page 12

NOTE: THE BAUD RATE AND ADDRESS MENU ITEM SETTINGS WILL TAKE
EFFECT ON THE NEXT POWER UP OF THE CONTROL. BE SURE TO TURN THE
POWER TO THE CONTROL OFF AND ON BEFORE USING THE NEW BAUD RATE
AND ADDRESS VALUES.

In operation, you have the option of preventing a write command from the host com­puter. To prevent the host from writing to the control change the
the Secondary Menu to L0C. To allow the host to write commands to the control set

L0rE to rE. (The host does have the ability to change the L0rE state, but it is not

automatic.)
If your system depends on constant reading or writing to and from the host, you may

wish to set the No Activity Timer (nAt) to monitor the addressing of the control. When
the L0rE is set to rE and the nAt is set to any value other than Off, the control will
expect to be addressed on a regular basis. If the control is not addr essed in the time
set by the value of nAt, then the control will display the error message CHEC L0rE.
To clear the message set L0rE to L0C.

Options and Non-volitile Memory

There are many different types of memory used in computer driven devices. The
terms RAM (random access memory) and ROM (read only memory) are a couple
with which you may be familiar.

RAM is used in computers to run programs and hold data for a short period of time.
This is the memory that is used primarily in PCs. RAM is very fast and can be read
and written to over and over again.

ROM is used in computers to hold the ‘permanent’ programming that allows a PC
to start. This memory is ‘burned in’ to the chip itself and can not be changed. Unlike
RAM, however, this memory is permanent. While it can not be changed, it can not
lose its programming when power is turned off.

There is a third type of memory that is now currently used to combine the character­istics of both RAM and ROM. This is known as EEPROM (electrically erasable pro­grammable read only memory). While the name may be long and somewhat cryptic,
the EEPROM can be erased and re-written many times, and yet hold the pro­grammed data even over long periods of time when the power is off. This is the type
of memory that all Omega products use to save the settings your program in your
control. The reliability and longevity of the data retention is what allows us to guar­antee a 10 year data retention without power.

In normal operation, the control uses RAM, just as any other computerized device.
Whenever you make a change to one of the parameters in the control, the set point
for example, the new value is written into the EEPROM. This way, if power goes off
for whatever reason, when power resumes, the latest settings are preserved. When

Page 13

power is turned on, the data is copied from the EEPROM to the RAM to begin operation.
If EEPROM is such a wonderful thing, you might ask, why bother with RAM? One

reason is that RAM is much faster than EEPROM. Faster speed gives you better per­formance in critical control functions.

Perhaps the most important reason is that EEPROM has a limit to the number of
times it can be erased and re-written. Current technology now sets that limit at about
one million erase/write cycles. In a dynamic control situation, it may be necessary to
update RAM every few milliseconds. EEPROM can not keep up to that pace, and,
even if it could, it would be ‘used up’ in a matter of days.

If you think about how long it would take a million changes to the control program­ming through the front key pad, you will see that it would take a very long time to get
to use up the life of the EEPROM.

Adding one of the computer communications options (e.g. 992, 993) changes the
picture. The speed of computer communications is such that hundreds of instruc­tions can be made in less than a minute. In such a situation, the million erase/write
cycles could be used up in a couple of months causing the control to fail.

Usually in such a situation, the control is under close observation by the host com­puter. It may not be necessary, then to the data written to the EEPROM, as it is ‘tran­sitory’ in nature (changing set points for a ramp/soak sequence for example).

All CN78000 Series controls with communications options made before April 2001
are only able to write to the EEPROM. Controls manufactured after this date have a
menu item in the Secure menu (Stor) that allows the serial communications to write
to RAM (Stor = no) with a special write command that allows to EEPROM to be
updated or written directly to EEPROM (protocol command 0442).

The factory default is ‘write to EEPROM’ (Stor = YES).
If your computer system will be making frequent changes to the control we strongly

recommend that you select the ‘write to RAM’ parameters (Stor = no). If you are pri­marily reading from the control, there is no need to change the setting.

Any instruments equipped with any Serial Communications are
limited to one million WRITE cycles to the EEPROM through the
Serial Communications Port. Exceeding this limit will generate a
FA1L tESt error. There is no limit to the number of times you
can READ from this instrument EEPROM.

Make sure that the software you use does not write too often to the instrument.
If you have any questions regarding how your software works with the instrument(s),

contact your System Administrator, Programmer, or Software Supplier.

0ut1 Output selection: Select 0n0F, #tP, #PuL, or ProP.

0n0F A setting of 0n0F allows the control to operate in simple on/off

mode. This setting forces the control to turn off at set point, and
on at the set point plus the differential (SP1d). When selected,
the 0ut1 0n0F menu items is followed by #### SP 0d, and
the tunE, Pb, rES, 510L and 510H selections in the Secure
menu are suppressed.

SP1d Set Point On-Off Differential (hysteresis). Set for the

amount of difference between the turn off point and the
turn on point. Select 1 to 9999 (direct acting), or -1 to

-9999 (reverse acting). This value will be negative for

reverse acting set points, and positive for direct acting
outputs. The following drawings shows output behavior
for reverse and direct action. For reverse action note how
the output decreases as the input process variable
increases, e.g. heat power goes to zero as the
temperature increases to set point.

SELF The Controller will evaluate the Process and select the PID values to

maintain good control. Active for SP1 only.

LErn Select YES or no

YES Start Lear ning the Process. After the process has

been learned the menu item will revert to no.

no Learning will stay in present mode.

dFAC Damping factor, select 0FF, 1 to 7. Sets the ratio of Rate to

Rate for the SEL tunE mode. 7 = most Rate. Factory set
to 3. For a fast response process the value should be low­ered (less Rate). For a slower process the value should be
increased (more Rate).

Pid Manually adjust the PID values. PID control consists of three basic

parameters, Proportional Band (Gain), Reset Time (Integral), and
Rate Time (Derivative).

Pb1 Proportional Band (Bandwidth). Select 1 to 9999°F, °C,

or counts.

Pb2 Proportional Band (Bandwidth). Select 1 to 9999°F, °C,

or counts. Appears only if control is equipped with second
set point and 0ut2 is NOT selected as 0n0F.

SL0 PID values are preset for a slow response process.
nor PID values are preset for a normal response process.
FASt PID values are preset for a fast response process.

Pid2 Linkage of PID parameters between SP1 and SP2: Select 0n or 0FF.

0n Applies SP1 rES, rtE, Fbnd, and FrtE terms to SP2 for heat/cool

applications

0FF SP2 functions without rES, rtE, Fbnd, and FrtE .

ArUP Anti- Reset Windup Feature: Select 0n or 0FF.

0n When ArUP is 0n the accumulated Reset Offset value will be

cleared to 0% when the process input is not within the Proportional

Band.

0FF When ArUP is 0FF, the accumulated Reset Offset value is retained

in memory when the process input is not within the Proportional

Band.

ArtE Approach Rate Time: Select 0FF, 0.01 to 99.99 minutes. The function

defines the amount of Rate applied when the input is outside of the
Proportional Band. The ArtE time and the rtE time are independent and
have no effect on each other. To increase damping effect and reduce over­shoot set the approach rate time for a value greater than the natural rise time
of the process (natural rise time = process value time to set point).

Fint Fuzzy Logic Intensity: Select 0 to 100%. 0% is OFF (disables Fuzzy Logic).

The function defines the amount of impact Fuzzy Logic will have on the
output.

Fbnd Fuzzy Logic Error Band: Select 0 to 4000 °F, °C, or counts. Sets the band

width of the Fuzzy Logic. Set Fbnd equal to PID proportional band (Pb1) for
best results.

Page 19

FrtE Fuzzy Logic Rate of Change: Select 0.00 to 99.99 counts/second. For best

initial setting, find the counts/second change of process value near Set Point
1 with output ON 100%. Multiply this value by 3. Set FrtE to this
calculated value.

PEA The Peak feature stores the highest input the control has measured since

the last reset or Power On. At Power On PEA is reset to the present input.
To manually reset the value PEA must be in the lower display. Press the
ENTER key to reset. PEA will be reset and display the present input value.

UAL The Valley feature stores the lowest input the Instrument has measured

since the last reset or Power On. At Power On UAL is reset to the present
input. To manually reset the value UAL must be in the lower display. Press
the ENTER key. UAL will be reset and display the present input value.

Pct0 Percent Output Feature: Select 0n or 0FF.

0n When selected 0n, the HOME lower display will indicate the output

of the controller in percent. An “o” will appear in the right hand side

of the lower display to indicate percent output for SP1. An “ ” will

~

o

appear on the right hand corner of the lower display to represent

percent output for SP2, if the control is so equipped. The display

will alternate between these values.

0FF Percent Output display is disabled.

Page 20

1nPC Input Correction: Select -500 to 0 to 500 °F, °C, or counts. This feature

allows the input value to be changed to agree with an external reference or
to compensate for sensor error. Note: 1nPC is reset to zero when the input
type is changed, or when decimal position is changed. Factory default is 0.

FiLt Digital Filter: Select 0FF, 1 to 99. In some cases the time constant of the

sensor, or noise, could cause the display to jump enough to be unreadable.
A setting of 2 is usually sufficient filtering (2 represents approximately a 1
second time constant). When the 0.1 degree resolution is selected this
should be increased to 4. If this value is set too high, controllability will
suffer.

Page 21

LPbr Loop Break Protection: Select 0FF, 1 to 9999 seconds. If, during operation,

the output is minimum (0%) or maximum (100%), and the input moves less
than 5°F (3°C) or 5 counts over the time set for LPbr, the L00P bAd mes­sage will appear. This condition can also be routed to an Alarm Condition if
alarms are present and turned On (see ALbr in the Secure Menu). The loop
break error can be reset by pressing the ENTER key when at the LPbr

ALARM TYPE AND ACTION (if alarm function is present)

Caution: In any critical application where failure could

cause expensive product loss or endanger personal safety,

a redundant limit controller is required.

When setting an alarm value for an absolute alarm (A1t = AbS), simply set
the value at which the alarm is to occur.
When setting the alarm value for a deviation alarm (A1t = dE), set the difference
in value from the Set Point desired. For example if a low alarm is

Page 27

required to be 5 degrees below the Set Point, then set A1Lo to -5. If a high
alarm is required 20 degrees above the Set Point, then set A1Hi to +20. If
the Set Point is changed, the alarm will continue to hold the same relationship
as originally set.

The diagram below shows the action and reset functions for both absolute
and deviation alarms.

Note that when Alarm Power Interrupt, A1Pi, is programmed ON and Alarm
Reset, A1rE, is programmed for Hold, the alarm will automatically reset
upon a power failure and subsequent restoration if no alarm condition is
present.

If Alarm Inhibit, A1iH, is selected ON, an alarm condition is suspended
upon power up until the process value passes through the alarm set point
once. Alarm inhibit can be restored as if a power up took place by pressing
both the INDEX and ENTER keys for 3 seconds.

WARNING: IF INHIBIT IS ON AND A POWER FAILURE OCCURS

DURING A HIGH ALARM, RESTORATION OF POWER WILL NOT

CAUSE THE ALARM TO OCCUR IF THE PROCESS VALUE

DOES NOT FIRST DROP BELOW THE HIGH ALARM SETTING.

DO NOT USE THE ALARM INHIBIT FEATURE IF A HAZARD IS

CREATED BY THIS ACTION. BE SURE TO TEST ALL COMBINA

TIONS OF HIGH AND LOW ALARM INHIBIT ACTIONS BEFORE

PLACING CONTROL INTO OPERATION.
