Using This Manual
Section 3 of the manual will cover the back panel connections and wiring instructions. A quick overview
of how to navigate the PLATINUMTM Series menu structure follows in Section 4. This is followed in
Section 5 by the complete PLATINUMTM Series meter menu tree. Remember, not all commands and
parameters in that menu tree will show up on your unit, as those that are not available with your
configuration are automatically hidden. Repetitive menu structures are highlighted in gray and only
shown once but are used multiple times; examples include scaling process inputs for the different
process input ranges, setting up the data communications protocol for each of the communications
channels, configuration for multiple outputs, etc.
The Reference Section—encompassing Initialization Mode in Section 6, Programming Mode in Section 7,
and Operating Mode in Section 8—will provide more detail on what parameter and command
preferences; such as how they operate, and why to choose a specific value.

Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The PLATINUMTM Series Controller offers unparalleled flexibility in process measurement. While the
controller is extremely powerful and versatile, great care has gone into designing a product that is easy
to set up and use. Automatic hardware configuration recognition eliminates the need for jumpers. The
PLATINUMTM Series Controller displays only the menu items associated with the system’s custom
configuration.
Each unit allows the user to select the input type from 9 thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, and N),
Pt RTDs (100, 500, or 1000 Ω, with a 385, 392, or 3916 curve), thermistors (2250 Ω, 5K Ω, and 10K Ω), DC
voltage, or DC current. The analog voltage inputs may be single ended bipolar, differential absolute or
differential ratiometric, and both voltage, and current are fully scalable using a single point or 10-point
linearization to virtually all engineering units with a selectable decimal point that is perfect for use with
pressure, flow, or other process inputs.
Control is achieved using the PID, on/off, or heat/cool control strategy. PID control can be optimized
with an Autotune feature; and in addition, a fuzzy logic Adaptive Tuning Mode allows the PID algorithm
to be continuously optimized. The instrument offers up to 16 Ramp and Soak segments per Ramp and
Soak program (eight each), with auxiliary event actions available with each segment. Up to 99 Ramp and
Soak programs can be stored, and multiple Ramp and Soak programs can be chained, creating
unmatched ramp and soak programming capability. Multiple Alarms can be configured for above,
below, hi/lo, and band triggering using either absolute or deviation Alarm trigger points.
The PLATINUMTM Series controller features a large, three-color, programmable display with the
capability to change color every time the Alarm is triggered. Various configurations of mechanical relay,
SSR, DC pulse, and isolated or non-isolated analog voltage or current outputs are available. Every unit
comes standard with USB communications for firmware updates, configuration management, and data
transfer. Optional Ethernet and RS-232 / RS-485 Serial communications are also available. The Analog
Output is fully scalable and may be configured as a proportional controller or retransmission to follow
your input signal. The universal power supply accepts 90–240 Vac. The low-voltage power option
accepts 24 Vac or 12–36 Vdc.
Additional features usually found only on more expensive controllers make these the most powerful
products in their class. Some additional standard features are remote Setpoint for cascaded control
setups, High-high/Low-low Alarm functionality, external latch reset, external Ramp and Soak program
initiation, combination Heat/Cool Control Mode, configuration save and transfer, and configuration
password protection.

proximity to the equipment within easy reach of the operator. The switch or circuit-breaker must
comply with the relevant requirements of IEC 947–1 and IEC 947-3 (International Electro technical
Commission). The switch must not be incorporated in the main supply cord.
Furthermore, to provide protection against excessive energy being drawn from the main supply in case
of a fault in the equipment, an overcurrent protection device must be installed.
Do not exceed the voltage rating on the label located on the top of the instrument housing.
Always disconnect the power before changing the signal and power connections.
Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety reasons.
Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive atmospheres.
Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.
Unit mounting should allow for adequate ventilation to ensure that the instrument does not
exceed the operating temperature rating.
Use electrical wires with adequate size to handle mechanical strain and power requirements.
Install this instrument without exposing the bare wire outside the connector to minimize
electrical shock hazards.
EMC Considerations
Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.
Install Ferrite Beads on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems persist.
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings is at your own risk and may result in property
damage, bodily injury and/or death. Omega Engineering is not responsible for any damages or
loss arising or resulting from any failure to follow any and all instructions or observe any and all

3.4 Connecting Outputs
The PLATINUMTM Series supports 7 different types of outputs with the model number numeric
designations summarized in Table 3. The unit comes preconfigured with up to 3 outputs (up to 6 outputs
with 1/8 DIN models). Table 3 shows the base output connector connections for the different
configurations offered. The base output configuration is the 3 numeric digits following the first dash in
the model number. The optional isolated output expansion board offered on 1/8 DIN models can add 1
or 3 additional isolated outputs with the numeric codes and connection positions shown in Table 3.
Table 4 defines the abbreviated codes used in Tables 5 and 6. Please note that the SPST and SPDT
mechanical relays have snubbers built in but only on the normally open contact side.

The menu structure of the PLATINUMTM Series is divided into 3 main Level 1 groups, which are
Initialization, Programming, and Operating. They are described in Section 4.3. The complete menu
structure for levels 2 to 8 for each of the three Level 1 groups is detailed in Section 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3.
Levels 2 through 8 represent sequentially deeper levels of navigation. Values with a dark box around
them are default values or submenu entry points. Blank lines indicate user-provided information. Some
menu items include links to reference information elsewhere in this user manual. The information in the
Notes column defines each menu choice.

Select Process (PRoC) as the input type. Then select the process input range and scale it. If
stopped after selecting the PRoC input type, the last selected input range and scaling is used.
Navigate to the voltage or current range of the process input. Any signal input outside of the
specified hardware input range will result in an “out-of-range” error (code E009). Input range
choices include the following:
4–20 – 4 mA to 20 mA (factory default)
0–24 – 0 mA to 24 mA
+–10 – -10 V to +10 V
+–1 – -1 V to +1 V

Select the desired range.
The (tYPE) option is only displayed for +- 1.0, +-0.1 and +- .05 inputs and allows selecting
between Single Ended, Differential and Ratiometric inputs. The +- .05 input only supports dIFF
and RtIo input types.
SNGL – Bipolar Single Ended voltage between A+ and ARTN connections
dIFF – Differential voltage between A+ and A- connections
RTIo – Ratiometric reading between A+ and A- connections.
Select the desired type.
Choose either manual or live scaling. The scaling functions translate process values to
engineering units and are available for all process input ranges. The defaults for each input
range are the hardware minimum and maximum. Scaling methods include the following:
MANL – User manually enters all four scaling parameters
LIVE – User manually enters the low and high display values (RD.1 and RD.2) but
reads the input signal directly to set the low and high input values (IN.1 and IN.2)
Using either MANL or LIVE to set up scaling, scaled values are then calculated as:
Scaled Value = Input * Gain + Offset, where:
Gain = (Rd.2 – Rd.1) / (IN.2 – IN.1)
Offset = Rd.1 – (Gain * IN.1)
Therefore scaling can be done over a subset of the applicable range as this scaling calculation
linearly extrapolates in both directions.
Select the scaling method to be used.

6.1.4.2 Bridge Inputs
Ratiometric inputs are widely used for bridge inputs as found in load cell and pressure sensors because
any fluctuations in the excitation voltage are eliminated in the final reading.
The input is configured as a ratiometric input, where the voltage difference between terminals 2 (AIN+)
and 3 (AIN-) is measured with respect to the externally applied voltage reference applied between
terminal 1 (ARTN) and terminal 4 (APWR).
The Excitation voltage, set to 5 or 10 Vdc is used to power the external bridge sensor. Two external
resistors provide a divider circuit to ensure that the differential inputs are biased at ½ of the voltage
generated by the on-board Excitation Voltage.

Resistors (R1, R2): ~ 4.7 k ohms.

6.1.4.3 Bridge (Ratiometric) Input Scaling
To calibrate to a specific bridge device, the user must provide two known loads and enter the
corresponding values. This allows the device to calculate a straight line correction:
Weight = Input Reading X Gain + Offset
Scaling operations allow translating source (input) signals to scaled output signal using a linear
translation defined by a SLOPE (or gain) and an OFFSET. As shown below, (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) define
two points on a line that has a certain SLOPE and OFFSET. Knowing the SLOPE and OFFSET allows
determining the OUTPUT value for any given INPUT value using the equation:
Output = Input X SLOPE + OFFSET, where
GAIN = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)
OFFSET = Y1 - (GAIN * X1).
The Input reading is expressed in terms of full scale, which is directly dependent on the applied
reference voltage which is in turn derived from the excitation voltage. Due to the ratiometric design the
absolute value of the Excitation voltage and exact resistor values do not enter into the weight
calculation.
If (X2 - X1) == 0, the GAIN is set to 1 and the OFFSET is set to 0.

In many applications a single Gain and Offset as provided by the Scaling adjustment on process inputs
can be used that supports a direct linearization between the input signal and the required reading. For
more complex applications, the relationship between the input value and the desired reading is not
linear across the entire range of inputs. A common example is found when converting a measured
weight of an irregular shaped hopper to the equivalent level.
A 10-point linearization table is provided, allowing for piecewise linearization of complex profiles. This
feature is often used to transform weight values into volume or to transform primary measurements
into derived measurements such as rate of change in temperature to air flow.
The internal process sequentially checks each Point (IN.x) value against the raw input and uses the
associated Gain (GN.x) value to calculate the transfer function.
Combined Scaling/Linearization
The Scaling and 10-point Linearization may be combined. The output of the Scaling adjustment is
applied as the input to the 10-point linearization.
The use of Live Scaling and Live Linearization is mutually exclusive. If Live scaling is selected the Live
Linearization option is disabled and if Live Linearization is selected the Live Scaling option is disabled.

Select Gain (GAIN) to manually adjust the PID factors. Setting I to zero sets the controller for
“PD” control, setting d to zero sets the controller for “PI” control, and setting both I and d to
zero sets the controller for “proportional” control. Most of the time use Autotune, and
adaptive tuning, and letting the system optimize its own PID factors. The P, I, and d factors
are used to calculate output power according to the following equation:
%On = P*e + I*SUM(e) + d*(de/dt)
%On = %Power for Analog Outputs or %On Width for PWM Outputs
e = Error Function = Setpoint – Process Value
SUM(e) = A summation of the Error Function over time
de/dt = The rate of change of the Error Function over time
The P, I, and d factors can initially be set using the Autotune function and then fine-tuned.
Time unit is in seconds.
Navigate to the desired manual parameter. Parameters include the following:
_P_ – Proportional Factor. The proportional factor amplifies the error function
(process value minus Setpoint) to accelerate progress towards to the Setpoint. (The
default value is 001.0.)
_I_ – Integral Factor. The integral term amplifies the integrated error function over
time and can increase the acceleration towards the Setpoint faster than the
Proportional factor (and potentially result in more “overshoot”). This factor is
sometimes referred to by its reciprocal, “Reset.”
_d_ – Derivative Factor. The derivative term (sometimes referred to by its
reciprocal, “Rate”) senses the rate of rise or fall of the input measurement and
throttles the PID algorithm accordingly. A higher value for this factor can speed up or
slow down the response of the system even faster than an increase in the Integral
Factor will.
Select the indicated setting.
Set the desired value.
Confirm the value.
If the process is hot, or if the process is within 10% of Control Setpoint, limit cycle oscillation will be
performed with the tuning setpoint taken at the process value when the Autotune function is triggered.
Autotuning may be performed as many times as needed or when the operating conditions (i.e: process
load, or setpoint) have changed significantly. To obtain good tuning results, ensure the process is stable
prior to triggering autotune function. The process is stable when it is at ambient temperature, or it is
tracking Control Setpoint (SP1) in auto mode.

Reference Section: Programming Mode (PRoG)
Select the Relative Cool Gain (rCg) parameter. The cooling output will be adjusted by this
multiplier. Valid only for Reverse/Direct (RVRS/dRCt ) control mode. Relative Cool Gain is
useful to restore heat/cool balance when heater and cooler of different power ratings are
used.
Set the desired value.
Confirm the value.
Select the Control Offset (oFst) parameter. Control Offset is a manual adjustment to the PID
output power. The parameter is effective when the PID output power is non-zero. Control
Offset is useful when the output power needs to start from a value other than zero (i.e: PWM
delivery to a motor fan)
%On = %PID + Offset
Set the desired value.
Confirm the value.
Select the Dead band/Overlap band (dEAd) parameter. A positive value sets a deadband and a
negative value sets an overlap band. Deadband parameter creates a band on both sides of
control setpoint in which the same output power is maintained. Overlap band parameter
creates a band on both sides of control setpoint in which both reverse and direct outputs that
are controlled by the same PID channel are activated.
Set the desired value.
Confirm the value.
Select the Low Output Clamping Limit (%Lo) parameter. This parameter sets the lower limit of
%Power applied to an analog output, or %On time for PWM (pulse width modulated) control
used with the other output types. (The default setting is -100.0%.)
Set the desired value.
Confirm the value.

Select the High Output Clamping Limit (%HI) parameter. This parameter sets the upper limit
for %power to analog outputs or %on time for PWM control with the other output types. (The
default setting is 100.0%.)
Set the desired value.
Confirm the value.
Select the Adaptive Tuning (AdPt) parameter.
Navigate to the desired setting. When adaptive tuning is enabled, the PID parameters are
continually optimized based on the process input changes caused by the current output
control parameters. This is the easiest way to optimize the PID algorithm for a wide variety of
systems. Adaptive tuning minimizes overshoot and decreases settling time. Autotune is
recommended for setting up adaptive tuning feature.
Settings include the following:
ENbL – Enables fuzzy logic adaptive tuning (factory default)
dSbL – Disables fuzzy logic adaptive tuning
Select the indicated setting.
Note: PID.2 is an independent control channel with separate configuration parameters. Both
PID and PID.2 channels drive toward the same Control Setpoint. PID.2 channel is useful when
the process is being controlled by two actuators with completely different characteristics. To
minimize interactions between the two loops, consider adding a process deadband.
Select the Remote Setpoint Configuration (RM.SP) parameter.
Navigate to the desired setting. A remote signal can then be used to set and/or change the
Setpoint value using an analog input. This function can be used for a variety of applications
where direct access to the controller for Setpoint manipulation is a problem (hazardous
environments, lack of proximity, etc.). It can also be used to configure the controller in a
cascaded control scheme. Settings include the following:
oFF – Do not use a remote Setpoint (factory default)
oN – Remote Setpoint replaces Setpoint 1
Note: oFF has no sub-parameters, but oN requires scaling of the remote Setpoint input.
Select the indicated setting.

7.7.1 Cascade Control using Remote Setpoint
The remote Setpoint feature of the PLATINUMTM Series controllers can be used in a variety of
applications where Setpoints can be sent to the controllers from remote devices such as a manual pots,
transmitters, computers, etc. This feature can also be used to set up a “cascade control” system, where
the remote Setpoint input is generated by another controller. Figure 12 shows a generic diagram of a
cascade control system and Figure 13 shows a typical example, in this case a heat exchanger application.
Figure 12 Generic Cascade Control Diagram Figure 13 Heat Exchanger with Cascade Control
Cascade control schemes provide tighter control of a process when there are two linked variables, one
of which has a much slower (typically 4X or more) response than the other. The slower responding
variable is used as the input to the primary or master controller, and the faster responding variable is
used as the input to the secondary or slave controller. The output of the primary controller is scaled to
be used as the Setpoint for the secondary controller.
In the heat exchanger application in Figure 13, the primary goal of the application is to control the
temperature of the effluent. Therefore, the desired effluent temperature becomes the Setpoint for the
primary controller, which is a temperature controller (TC). The process input for the temperature
controller is the measured temperature of the effluent (TT). The output of the temperature controller is
the flow Setpoint for the secondary controller, which is a flow controller (FC). The process input for the
secondary (flow) controller is the flow rate of the steam that is used to heat the process flow through
the heat exchanger (FT). The output of the secondary (flow) controller is a control signal for the
proportional valve controlling the flow of the steam.
By isolating the slowly changing effluent temperature control loop from the rapidly changing flow
control loop, a more predictable, robust, and tighter control scheme results.

Select Multi-Ramp/Soak Mode (M.RMP) for activation and configuration to store, and load up
to 99 Ramp/Soak programs. Each program can have up to 8 Ramps and 8 Soaks including the
ability to activate auxiliary (non-control) outputs during any or all Ramp and Soak segments.
Any segment soak setpoint can be an increase or a decrease from the previous soak setpoint
and the unit will automatically determine the control direction (reverse or direct) for the
associated ramp. The end action (E.Act) can be defined as StOP, HOLd, or LINk. By using
LINk, one program can be specified to start at the end of the previous program, creating an
absolute capability to set up a program with 8*99 or 792 ramps and 792 soaks. In addition, a
program can be linked to itself to create a continuously cycling profile.
Configuration settings files can be edited on a PC in Excel and this can be especially useful
when creating / editing complex ramp and soak programs. See 6.9 INIt > SAVE for further
information on this.
For an overview of Ramp and Soak programming including examples see Section 7.7.8 More
on Multi-Ramp/Soak Programming.
Note: When setting up multidirectional ramp and soak programs, only one direction can use
PID control as PID control is set to reverse (heating) or direct (cooling) action for any and all
outputs assigned to MoDE > PID. PID Autotuning of the system under control will tune only
for the PID action direction as the optimum PID parameters for the other action direction may
be completely different. On/Off control must be used to set up any output(s) for the other
action direction.

Select the Multi-Ramp/Soak Tracking (M.tRk) parameter. This parameter has three settings
that allow for different ways to manage ramp and soak program tracking.
Navigate to the desired setting. Settings include the following:
RAMP – Guaranteed Ramp Mode. If the soak setpoint is not reached within the
specified Ramp Time, the Ramp and Soak cycle will terminate, the outputs are
disabled, and a failure message (E008) will be displayed.
SoAK – Guaranteed Soak Mode. If the soak setpoint is not reached within the
specified Ramp Time the system will continue to Ramp and not transition to the Soak
Mode until the Soak point is reached. The full specified Soak time is preserved.
CYCL – Guaranteed Cycle Mode. If the soak setpoint is not reached within the
specified Ramp Time, the unit will continue to ramp until that setpoint is reached.
The additional ramp time required is subtracted from the soak time so that the
specified cycle time (ramp time + soak time) is preserved. If the soak setpoint is still
not reached at the end of total cycle time, the ramp and soak program will terminate,
the outputs are disabled, and the failure message (E0008) will be displayed.
Select the indicated setting.
Select the default Ramp and Soak Time Format (tIM.F) parameter for the current program.

7.8.8 More on Multi-Ramp/Soak Programming
7.8.8.1 Overview
A key feature of the Ramp and Soak mechanism is provided by the ability to ‘link’ ramp/soak segments
together to create a chain of sequences. This allows sequences of up to 792 Ramp/Soak pairs to be
defined. A Ramp/Soak segment is defined as a specified increase or decrease (Ramp) of the process
variable over a set period of time, followed by holding (Soak) the process variable at a fixed level for a
fixed period of time.

These controllers provide a multi-segment/multi-profile Ramp and Soak mechanism with the additional
ability to link multiple profiles together to implement extended sequences.
Although the term ‘RAMP’ is used to indicate the process variable change, there is no restrictions on the
direction of change. The Target Setpoint may be above or below the Current process variable for each
cycle within a sequence.
Figure 15. Ramp & Soak Current Process Variable.
The Ramp and Soak times are provided in 1-second increments and may span from 1 second to 99
hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. Internally, the time values are tracked within 0.1 second intervals.
The Ramp and Soak function attempts to provide a controlled increase to the process variable such that
the target setpoint is reached within the specified time. Options are provided to track the specified
RAMP time, the specified SOAK time or the overall CYCLE time.
