■ Safety Precautions
Do not touch the terminals while power is being supplied.
Doing so may occasionally result in minor injury due to electric
shock.
Do not allow pieces of metal, wire clippings, or fine metallic shavings or filings from installation to enter the product. Doing so may
occasionally result in electric shock, fire, or malfunction.
Do not use the product where subject to flammable or explosive
gas. Otherwise, minor injury from explosion may occasionally
occur.
Never disassemble, modify, or repair the product or touch any of
the internal parts. Minor electric shock, fire, or malfunction may
occasionally occur.
CAUTION - Risk of Fire and Electric Shock
a) This product is UL listed as Open Type Process Control Equip-
ment. It must be mounted in an enclosure that does not allow
fire to escape externally.
b) More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-
energize the equipment before servicing the product.
c) Signal inputs are SELV, limited energy.
d) Caution: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not inter-
connect the outputs of different Class 2 circuits.
CAUTION
*1
*2
If the output relays are used past their life expectancy, contact
fusing or burning may occasionally occur.
Always consider the application conditions and use the output
relays within their rated load and electrical life expectancy. The life
expectancy of output relays varies considerably with the output
load and switching conditions.
*1A SELV circuit is one separated from the power supply with double insulation or
reinforced insulation, that does not exceed 30 V r.m.s. and 42.4 V peak or
60 VDC.
*2A class 2 power supply is one tested and certified by UL as having the current
and voltage of the secondary output restricted to specific levels.
x
CAUTION
Tighten the terminal screws to between 0.74 and 0.90 N·m. Loose
screws may occasionally result in fire.
Set the parameters of the product so that they are suitable for the
system being controlled. If they are not suitable, unexpected
operation may occasionally result in property damage or
accidents.
A malfunction in the Temperature Controller may occasionally
make control operations impossible or prevent alarm outputs,
resulting in property damage. To maintain safety in the event of
malfunction of the Temperature Controller, take appropriate safety
measures, such as installing a monitoring device on a separate
line.
A semiconductor is used in the output section of long-life relays. If
excessive noise or surge is impressed on the output terminals, a
short-circuit failure is likely to occur. If the output remains shorted,
fire will occur due to overheating of the heater or other cause.
Take measures in the overall system to prevent excessive temperature increase and to prevent fire from spreading.
When inserting the body of the Temperature Controller into the
case, confirm that the hooks on the top and bottom are securely
engaged with the case. If the body of the Temperature Controller
is not inserted properly, faulty contact in the terminal section or
reduced water resistance may occasionally result in fire or malfunction.
*3
*3The tightening torque is 0.5 N·m for the E5CN-U and 0.43 to 0.58 N·m for the
E5GN. The terminal torque is 0.5 to 0.6 N·m for auxiliary output 2 on the E5GN.

Precautions for Safe Use
Be sure to observe the following precautions to prevent operation failure, malfunction, or adverse affects on
the performance and functions of the product. Not doing so may occasionally result in unexpected events. Use
the product within the specifications.
1)The product is designed for indoor use only. Do not use the product outdoors or in any of the following
locations. Do not use or store the product in any of the following locations.
• Places directly subject to heat radiated from heating equipment.
• Places subject to splashing liquid or oil atmosphere.
• Places subject to direct sunlight.
• Places subject to dust or corrosive gas (in particular, sulfide gas and ammonia gas).
• Places subject to intense temperature change.
• Places subject to icing and condensation.
• Places subject to vibration and large shocks.
2)Use and store the Digital Temperature Controller within the rated ambient temperature and humidity.
Gang-mounting two or more temperature controllers, or mounting temperature controllers above each
other may cause heat to build up inside the temperature controllers, which will shorten their service life. In
such a case, use forced cooling by fans or other means of air ventilation to cool down the Digital
Temperature Controllers.
3)To allow heat to escape, do not block the area around the product. Do not block the ventilation holes on
the product.
4)Be sure to wire properly with correct polarity of terminals.
5)Use the specified size of crimp terminals for the E5CN, E5AN, or E5EN (M3.5, width of 7.2 mm or less).
For open-wired connections to the E5CN, E5AN, or E5EN, use stranded or solid copper wires with a
gauge of AWG24 to AWG14 (equal to a cross-sectional area of 0.205 to 2.081 mm
length is 5 to 6 mm.) Up to two wires of the same size and type or two crimp terminals can be connected
to one terminal. Do not connect more than two wires or more than two crimp terminals to the same
terminal.
Use the specified size of crimp terminals for the E5GN (M3.0, width of 5.8 mm or less). For open-wired
connections to the E5GN, use stranded or solid copper wires with a gauge of AWG24 to AWG18 (equal to
a cross-sectional area of 0.205 to 0.8231 mm
The stripping length for screwless clamp terminals is 10 mm. The stripping length for auxiliary output 2 is
6 mm.) Up to two wires of the same size and type or two crimp terminals can be connected to one
terminal. Do not connect more than two wires or more than two crimp terminals to the same terminal.
Ferrules for screwless clamp terminals must be 0.8 to 1.4 mm in diameter and the exposed conductor
must be 8 to 12 mm in length. Ferrules for auxiliary output 2 must be 0.8 to 1.4 mm in diameter and the
exposed conductor must be 6 mm in length.
6) Do not wire the terminals which are not used.
7) To avoid inductive noise, keep the wiring for the Digital Temperature Controller's terminal block away from
power cables carry high voltages or large currents. Also, do not wire power lines together with or parallel
to Digital Temperature Controller wiring. Using shielded cables and using separate conduits or ducts is
recommended.
Attach a surge suppressor or noise filter to peripheral devices that generate noise (in particular, motors,
transformers, solenoids, magnetic coils or other equipment that have an inductance component).
When a noise filter is used at the power supply, first check the voltage or current, and attach the noise
filter as close as possible to the temperature controller.
Allow as much space as possible between the Digital Temperature Controller and devices that generate
powerful high frequencies (high-frequency welders, high-frequency sewing machines, etc.) or surge.
8) Use this product within the rated load and power supply.
9) Make sure that the rated voltage is attained within two seconds of turning ON the power using a switch or
relay contact. If the voltage is applied gradually, the power may not be reset or output malfunctions may
occur.

10) Make sure that the Temperature Controller has 30 minutes or more to warm up after turning ON the power
before starting actual control operations to ensure the correct temperature display.
11) When executing self-tuning, turn ON power for the load (e.g., heater) at the same time as or before
supplying power to the Digital Temperature Controller. If power is turned ON for the Digital Temperature
Controller before turning ON power for the load, self-tuning will not be performed properly and optimum
control will not be achieved.
12) A switch or circuit breaker should be provided close to this unit. The switch or circuit breaker should be
within easy reach of the operator, and must be marked as a disconnecting means for this unit.
13) Always turn OFF the power supply before removing the body of the E5CN, E5AN, or E5EN from the case,
and never touch nor apply shock to the terminals or electronic components. When inserting the interior of
the product, do not allow the electronic components to touch the case.
Always turn OFF the power supply before removing the terminal block from the E5GN, and never touch
nor apply shock to the terminals or electronic components.
14) Do not use paint thinner or similar chemical to clean with. Use standard grade alcohol.
15) Design system (control panel, etc.) considering the 2 second of delay that the controller’s output to be set
after power ON.
16) The output may turn OFF when shifting to certain levels. Take this into consideration when performing
control.
17) The number of EEPROM write operations is limited. Therefore, use RAM write mode when frequently
overwriting data during communications or other operations.
18) Always touch a grounded piece of metal before touching the Digital Temperature Controller to discharge
static electricity from your body.
19) Do not remove the terminal block from the E5CN, E5AN, or E5EN. Doing so may result in failure or
malfunction.
20) Control outputs that are voltage outputs are not isolated from the internal circuits. When using a grounded
thermocouple, do not connect any of the control output terminals to ground. (Doing so may result in an
unwanted circuit path, causing error in the measured temperature.)
21) When replacing the body of the E5CN, E5AN, or E5EN, check the condition of the terminals. If corroded
terminals are used, contact failure in the terminals may cause the temperature inside the E5CN, E5AN, or
E5EN to increase, possibly resulting in fire. If the terminals are corroded, replace the case as well.
When removing the terminal block of the E5GN to replace the Digital Temperature Controller, check the
condition of the terminals. If corroded terminals are used, contact failure in the terminals may cause the
temperature inside the Digital Temperature Controller to increase, possibly resulting in fire. If the terminals
are corroded, replace the terminal block as well.
22) Use suitable tools when taking the Digital Temperature Controller apart for disposal. Sharp parts inside
the Digital Temperature Controller may cause injury.
23) When applying Lloyd's standards, install the Digital Temperature Controller according to the requirements
given in Shipping Standards.
24) Do not use the Temperature Controller if the front sheet is peeling off or torn.
●Service Life
Use the Temperature Controller within the following temperature and humidity ranges:
Temperature: −10 to 55°C (with no icing or condensation), Humidity: 25% to 85%
If the Controller is installed inside a control board, the ambient temperature must be kept to under
55°C, including the temperature around the Controller.
The service life of electronic devices like Temperature Controllers is determined not only by the number of times the relay is switched but also by the service life of internal electronic components. Component service life is affected by the ambient temperature: the higher the temperature, the shorter the
service life and, the lower the temperature, the longer the service life. Therefore, the service life can be
extended by lowering the temperature of the Temperature Controller.
xiii
When two or more Temperature Controllers are mounted horizontally close to each other or vertically
next to one another, the internal temperature will increase due to heat radiated by the Temperature
Controllers and the service life will decrease. In such a case, use forced cooling by fans or other
means of air ventilation to cool down the Temperature Controllers. When providing forced cooling,
however, be careful not to cool down the terminals sections alone to avoid measurement errors.
●Ambient Noise
To avoid inductive noise, keep the wiring for the Digital Temperature Controller's terminal block wiring
away from power cables carrying high voltages or large currents. Also, do not wire power lines together
with or parallel to Digital Temperature Controller wiring. Using shielded cables and using separate conduits or ducts is recommended.
Attach a surge suppressor or noise filter to peripheral devices that generate noise (in particular,
motors, transformers, solenoids, magnetic coils or other equipment that have an inductance component). When a noise filter is used at the power supply, first check the voltage or current, and attach the
noise filter as close as possible to the Temperature Controller.
Allow as much space as possible between the Digital Temperature Controller and devices that generate powerful high frequencies (high-frequency welders, high-frequency sewing machines, etc.) or
surge.
●Ensuring Measurement Accuracy
When extending or connecting the thermocouple lead wire, be sure to use compensating wires that
match the thermocouple types.
When extending or connecting the lead wire of the platinum resistance thermometer, be sure to use
wires that have low resistance and keep the resistance of the three lead wires the same.
Mount the Temperature Controller so that it is horizontally level.
If the measurement accuracy is low, check to see if input shift has been set correctly.
●Waterproofing
The degree of protection is as shown below. Sections without any specification on their degree of protection or those with IP@0 are not waterproof.
Front panel: IP66
Rear case: IP20, Terminal section: IP00
(E5CN-U: Front panel: IP50, rear case: IP20, terminals: IP00)
xiv
Precautions for Operation
1)It takes approximately two seconds for the outputs to turn ON from after the power supply is turned ON.
Due consideration must be given to this time when incorporating Temperature Controllers into a control
panel or similar device.
2)Make sure that the Temperature Controller has 30 minutes or more to warm up after turning ON the power
before starting actual control operations to ensure the correct temperature display.
3)When executing self-tuning, turn ON power for the load (e.g., heater) at the same time as or before
supplying power to the Temperature Controller. If power is turned ON for the Temperature Controller
before turning ON power for the load, self-tuning will not be performed properly and optimum control will
not be achieved. When starting operation after the Temperature Controller has warmed up, turn OFF the
power and then turn it ON again at the same time as turning ON power for the load. (Instead of turning the
Temperature Controller OFF and ON again, switching from STOP mode to RUN mode can also be used.)
4)Avoid using the Controller in places near a radio, television set, or wireless installing. The Controller may
cause radio disturbance for these devices.
Shipping Standards
The E5CN, E5CN-H, E5AN, E5AN-H, E5EN, and E5EN-H comply with Lloyd's standards. When applying the
standards, the following installation and wiring requirements must be met in the application.
■ Application Conditions
1) Installation Location
The E5CN, E5CN-H, E5AN, E5AN-H, E5EN, and E5EN-H comply with installation category ENV1 and
ENV2 of Lloyd's standards. Therefore, they must be installed in a location equipped with air conditioning. They must therefore be installed in a location equipped with air conditioning. They cannot be used
on the bridge or decks, or in a location subject to strong vibration.
2) Wiring Conditions
Install the recommended ferrite core and wrap the line around it three turns for the applicable lines
(e.g., power supply cable line and signal lines) of the models listed in the following table. (See illustrations.) Install the ferrite cores as close to the terminal block of the E5@N as possible. (As a guideline,
the ferrite core should be within 10 cm of the terminal block.)

■ Upgraded Functions
The functionality of the E5CN, E5CN-U, E5AN, and E5EN was improved starting from December 2007
production.
The functionality of the E5GN was improved starting from August 2009 production.
The design of the front panel can be used to differentiate between the previous and upgraded models.
● E5CN/CN-U
The upgraded Controllers are basically compatible with the previous Controllers. Terminal
arrangements, terminal sizes, and panel mounting depth have not been changed.
● E5AN/EN
Although the upgraded Controllers are compatible with the previous Controllers, terminal arrangements have been changed. Terminal sizes and panel mounting depth have not been changed.
● E5GN
Model numbers have changed accompanying the introduction of universal input capability. The
default setting of the input type parameter of the E5GN-@@@P (models with resistance thermometers) has been changed from a Pt100 resistance thermometer to a K thermocouple. Make sure
the setting of the input type parameter agrees with the temperature sensor that is being used.
The terminal block has also been changed, which means the wiring methods and terminal
arrangement are different.
Other changes outlined in the following tables. Refer to relevant pages in the manual for details.

Meanings of Abbreviations
The following abbreviations are used in parameter names, figures and in text explanations. These
abbreviations mean the following:
SymbolTerm
PVProcess value
SPSet point
SVSet value
ATA ut o - tu n i ng
STSelf-tuning
HBHeater burnout
HSHeater short (See note 1.)
OCHeater overcurrent
LBALoop burnout alarm
EUEngineering unit (See note 2.)
Note: (1) A heater short indicates that the heater remains ON even when the control output from the Tempera-
ture Controller is OFF because the SSR has failed or for any other reason.
(2) “EU” stands for Engineering Unit. EU is used as the minimum unit for engineering units such as °C,
m, and g. The size of EU varies according to the input type.
For example, when the input temperature setting range is –200 to +1300°C, 1 EU is 1°C, and when
the input temperature setting range is –20.0 to +500.0°C, 1 EU is 0.1°C.
For analog inputs, the size of EU varies according to the decimal point position of the scaling setting,
and 1 EU becomes the minimum scaling unit.

1-2-2Main Functions
This section introduces the main E5CN/CN-U/AN/EN/GN functions. For
details on particular functions and how to use them, refer to SECTION 3 BasicOperation and following sections.
Input Sensor Types• The following input sensors can be connected for temperature input
(i.e., E5_N-@@@@T):
Thermocouple:K, J, T, E, L, U, N, R, S, B, W, PLII
Infrared temperature sensor:ES1B
10 to 70°C, 60 to 120°C, 115 to 165°C,
140 to 260°C
Platinum resistance thermometer: Pt100, JPt100
Analog input:0 to 50 mV
12
I/O Configuration and Main FunctionsSection 1-2
• Inputs with the following specifications can be connected for analog input
(i.e., E5_N-@@@@L):
Current input: 4 to 20 mA DC, 0 to 20 mA DC
Voltage input: 1 to 5 VDC, 0 to 5 V DC, 0 to 10 V DC
Control Outputs• A control output can be a relay, voltage (for driving SSR), or current out-
put, depending on the model.
• Long-life relay outputs (see note) use semiconductors for switching when
closing and opening the circuit, thereby reducing chattering and arcing
and improving durability. However, if high levels of noise or surge are
imposed between the output terminals, short-circuit faults may occasionally occur. If the output becomes permanently shorted, there is the danger
of fire due to overheating of the heater. Design safety into the system,
including measures to prevent excessive temperature rise and spreading
of fire. Take countermeasures such as installing a surge absorber. As an
additional safety measure, provide error detection in the control loop.
(Use the Loop Burnout Alarm (LBA) and HS alarm that are provided for
the E5@N.)

• Always connect an AC load to a long-life relay output (see note). The output will not turn OFF if a DC load is connected.
NoteLong-life relay outputs are not supported for the E5GN.
Alarms• Set the alarm type and alarm value or the alarm value upper and lower
limits.
• If necessary, a more comprehensive alarm function can be achieved by
setting a standby sequence, alarm hysteresis, auxiliary output close in
alarm/open in alarm, alarm latch, alarm ON delay, and alarm OFF delay.
• If the Input Error Output parameter is set to ON, the output assigned to
alarm 1 function will turn ON when an input error occurs.
Control Adjustment• Optimum PID constants can be set easily by performing AT (auto-tuning)
or ST (self-tuning).
Event Inputs• With the E53-CN@B@N2 for the E5CN or the E5AN/EN-@M@-500-N with
the E53-AKB for the E5AN/EN, the following functions can be executed
using event inputs: switching set points (multi-SP, 4 points max.), switching RUN/STOP, switching between automatic and manual operation, starting/resetting the program, inverting direct/reverse operation, 100% AT
execute/cancel, 40% AT execute/cancel, setting change enable/disable,
and canceling the alarm latch.
Heater Burnout, HS Alarm,
and Heater Overcurrent
• With the E53-CN@H@N2 or E53-CN@HH@N2 for the E5CN, or the
E5AN/EN-@@H@-500-N or E5AN/EN-@@HH@-500-N, the heater burnout
detection function, HS alarm function, and heater overcurrent detection
function can be used.

Protect Level• To switch to the protect level from the operation level, the adjustment
level, or the monitor/setting item level, simultaneously hold down the O
and M Keys for at least 3 seconds. (See note.) This level is for preventing
unwanted or accidental modification of parameters. Protected levels will
not be displayed, and so the parameters in that level cannot be modified.
Note The key pressing time can be changed in Move to Protect Level pa-
rameter (advanced function setting level).
Operation Level• The operation level is displayed when the power is turned ON. You can
move to the protect level, initial setting level, or adjustment level from this
level.
• Normally, select this level during operation. While operation is in progress,
items such as the PV and manipulated variable (MV) can be monitored,
and the set points, alarm values, and alarm upper and lower limits can be
monitored and changed.
Adjustment Level• To move to the adjustment level, press the O Key once (for less than 1 s).
• This level is for entering set values and offset values for control. In addition to AT (auto-tuning), communications write enable/disable switching,
hysteresis settings, multi-SP settings, and input offset parameters, it
includes HB alarm, HS alarm, OC alarm, and PID constants. From the
adjustment level, it is possible to move to the top parameter of the initial
setting level, protect level, or operation level.
Monitor/Setting Item Level• To switch to the monitor/setting item level, press the PF Key from the
operation level or adjustment level. The contents set for monitor/setting
items 1 to 5 can be displayed. You can move from the monitor/setting item
level to the operation level or initial setting level. (This level is supported
by the E5AN and E5EN only.)
Manual Control Level• When the O Key is pressed for at least 3 seconds from the operation
level's auto/manual switching display, the manual control level will be displayed. (The MANU indicator will light.)
• When the PF Setting is set to A-M (auto/manual) and the PF Key is
pressed for more than one second from the operation level or adjustment
level, the manual control level will be displayed (E5AN and E5EN only.)
• This is the level for changing the MV in manual mode.
• To return to the operation level, press the O Key for at least one second.
It is also possible to return to the operation level by pressing the PF Key
for more than one second when the PF Setting is set to A-M.

Setting Level Configuration and Key OperationsSection 1-3
Initial Setting Level• To move to the initial setting level from the operation level or the adjust-
ment level, press the O Key for at least 3 seconds. The PV display
flashes after one second. This level is for specifying the input type and
selecting the control method, control period, setting direct/reverse operation, setting the alarm types, etc. You can move to the advanced function
setting level or communications setting level from this level. To return to
the operation level, press the O Key for at least one second. To move to
the communications setting level, press the O Key for less than one second.
(When moving from the initial setting level to the operation level, all the
indicators will light.)
Note Pressing the O Key for at least 3 seconds in the operation level's
auto/manual switching display will move to the manual control level,
and not the initial setting level.

• From the advanced function setting level, it is possible to move to the calibration level or to the initial setting level.
• This level is for setting the automatic display return time and standby
sequence, and it is the level for moving to the user calibration and other
functions.
• To move to the communications setting level from the initial setting level,
press the O Key once (for less than 1 s). When using the communications function, set the communications conditions in this level. Communicating with a personal computer (host computer) allows set points to be
read and written, and manipulated variables (MV) to be monitored.

1-4Communications Function
The E5CN/AN/EN/GN are provided with a communications function that
enables parameters to be checked and set from a host computer. If the communications function is required, use the E53-CN@03N2 with the E5CN, or
the E53-EN03 or E53-EN01 with the E5AN/EN/GN. For details on the communications function, see the separate Communications Manual Basic Type.
Use the following procedure to move to the communications setting level.
1,2,3...1. Press the O Key for at least three seconds to move from the operation lev-
el to the initial setting level.
2. Press the O Key for less than one second to move from the initial setting
level to the communications setting level.
3. Select the parameters as shown below by pressing the M Key.
4. Press the U or D Key to change the parameter setting.

Match the communications specifications of the E5CN/AN/EN/GN and the
host computer. If a 1:N connection is being used, ensure that the communications specifications for all devices in the system (except the communications
Unit No.) are the same.
This section describes the work required to prepare the E5CN, E5AN, and E5EN Digital Temperature Controllers for
operation, including installation and wiring.
• Waterproofing is not possible when group mounting several Controllers.
• The recommended panel thickness is 1 to 5 mm for the E5CN, E5CN-U,
and E5GN, and 1 to 8 mm for E5AN and E5EN.
• Units must not be closely mounted vertically. (Observe the recommended
mounting space limits.)
• When group mounting several Controllers, ensure that the surrounding
temperature does not exceed the ambient operating temperature listed in
the specifications.

• Always connect an AC load to a long-life relay output. The output will not
turn OFF if a DC load is connected.
• The voltage output (for driving SSR) is not electrically isolated from the
internal circuits. When using a grounding thermocouple, do not connect
any of the control output terminals to the ground. If a control output terminal is connected to the ground, errors will occur in the measured temperature as a result of leakage current.
• Control output 1 (voltage output for driving SSR) and control output 2
(voltage output for driving SSR) are not isolated. For the E5AN/EN, however, the internal circuits are functionally isolated.
• Long-life relay outputs use semiconductors for switching when closing
and opening the circuit, thereby reducing chattering and arcing and
improving durability. However, if high levels of noise or surge are imposed
between the output terminals, short-circuit faults may occasionally occur.
If the output becomes permanently shorted, there is the danger of fire due
to overheating of the heater. Design safety into the system, including
measures to prevent excessive temperature rise and spreading of fire.
• Take countermeasures such as installing a surge absorber. As an additional safety measure, provide error detection in the control loop. (Use the
Loop Burnout Alarm (LBA) and HS alarm that are provided for the E5@N.)

• Always connect an AC load to a long-life relay output. The output will not

• The voltage output (for driving SSR) is not electrically isolated from the
internal circuits. Therefore, when using a grounding thermocouple, do not
connect any of the control output terminals to the ground. If a control output terminal is connected to the ground, errors will occur in the measured
temperature as a result of leakage current. With E5AN/EN, however, control output 2 (voltage output for driving SSR) is functionally isolated from
the internal circuits.
• Control output 2 of the E5CN is a voltage output (for driving SSR) only,
and outputs across terminals 11(+) and 12(

• Control output 1 (voltage output for driving SSR) and control output 2

This section describes the basic operation of the E5CN, E5AN, and E5EN Digital Temperature Controllers, including key
operations to set parameters and descriptions of display elements based on specific control examples.
Initial hardware setup, including the sensor input type, alarm types, control
periods, and other settings, is done using parameter displays. The O and M
Keys are used to switch between parameters, and the amount of time that you
press the keys determines which parameter you move to.
This section describes two typical examples.

3. To return to the operation level, press the O Key for at least one second.
Two control methods are supported: 2-PID control and ON/OFF control.
Switching between 2-PID control and ON/OFF control is executed by means
of the PID ON/OFF parameter in the initial setting level. When this parameter
is set to pid, 2-PID control is selected, and when set to onof, ON/OFF control, is selected. The default is onof.
For PID control, set the PID constants in the Proportional Band (P), Integral
Time (I), and Derivative Time (D) parameters.
ON/OFF ControlIn ON/OFF control, the control output is turned ON when the process value is
lower than the current set point, and the control output is turned OFF when
the process value is higher than the current set point (reverse operation).
3-5Setting Output Specifications
3-5-1Control Periods
• Set the output periods (control periods). Though a shorter period provides
better control performance, it is recommended that the control period be
set to 20 seconds or longer for a relay output to preserve the service life
of the relay. After the settings have been made in the initial setup, readjust
the control period, as required, by means such as trial operation.
• Set the control periods in the Control Period (Heating) and Control Period
(Cooling) parameters in the initial setting level. The default is 20 seconds.
• The Control Period (Cooling) parameter is used only for heating/cooling
control.
• When control output 1 is used as a current output, Control Period (Heating) cannot be used.

For example, when the process value (PV) is lower than the set point (SP)
in a heating control system, the manipulated variable increases according
to the difference between the PV and SP. Accordingly, reverse operation is
used in a heating control system. Direct operation is used in a cooling control system, in which the operation is the opposite of a heating control system. The Control Output 1 Assignment is set to o (control output (heating))
for either direct or reverse operation.
• Direct/reverse operation is set in the Direct/Reverse Operation parameter
in the initial setting level. The default is or-r (reverse operation).
Operating ProcedureIn this example, the input type, temperature unit, direct/reverse operation, and
control period (heat) parameters are checked.

output unless the Program Pattern parameter is set to OFF.
(3) For the E5AN/EN, the Auxiliary Output 3 Assignment parameter is set as
the control output for cooling. (The Auxiliary Output 2 Assignment parameter is set for alarm 2).
■ Alarms
It will be specified in this section when an alarm must be assigned, i.e., when
an alarm must be set for the Control Output 1 or 2 Assignment parameters, or
for the Auxiliary Output 1 to 3 Assignment parameters. For example, if alarm 1
is set for the Control Output 1 Assignment parameter, then alarm 1 has been
assigned.
Assigning a work bit to either control output 1 or 2 or to auxiliary output 1 to 3
is also considered to be the same as assigning an alarm. For example, if work
bit 1 is set for the Auxiliary Output 1 Assignment parameter, then alarms 1 to 3
have been assigned.
Operating ProcedureThis procedure sets the following control and auxiliary output assignments.
Control output 1: Control output (heating); Control output 2: Control output
(cooling); Auxiliary output 1: Alarm 1; Auxiliary output 2: Alarm 2

3-7Using ON/OFF Control
In ON/OFF control, the control output turns OFF when the temperature being
controlled reaches the preset set point. When the manipulated variable turns
OFF, the temperature begins to fall and the control turns ON again. This operation is repeated over a certain temperature range. At this time, how much the
temperature must fall before control turns ON again is determined by the Hysteresis (Heating) parameter. Also, what direction the manipulated variable
must be adjusted in response to an increase or decrease in the process value
is determined by the Direct/Reverse Operation parameter.
3-7-1ON/OFF Control
• Switching between 2-PID control and ON/OFF control is performed using
the PID ON/OFF parameter in the initial setting level. When this parameter is set to pid, 2-PID control is selected, and when it is set to onof, ON/
OFF control is selected. The default is onof.
Hysteresis• With ON/OFF control, hysteresis is used to stabilize operation when
switching between ON and OFF. The control output (heating) and control
output (cooling) functions are set in the Hysteresis (Heating) and Hysteresis (Cooling) parameters, respectively.
• In standard control (heating or cooling control), the setting of the Hysteresis (Heating) parameter in the adjustment level is used as the hysteresis
regardless of whether the control type is heating control or cooling control.

• When AT is executed, the optimum PID constants for the set point at that
time are set automatically. A method (called the limit cycle method) for
forcibly changing the manipulated variable and finding the characteristics
of the control object is employed.
• Either 40% AT or 100% AT can be selected depending on the width of MV
variation in the limit cycle. In the AT Execute/Cancel parameter, specify
at-2 (100% AT) or at-1 (40% AT). To cancel AT, specify off (AT can-
cel).
• Only 100% AT can be executed for heating and cooling control.
• AT cannot be executed when control has stopped or during ON/OFF control.
• The results of AT are reflected in the Proportional Band (P), Integral Time
(I), and Derivative Time (D) parameters in the adjustment level.
AT OperationsAT is started when either at-2 (100% AT) or at-1 (40% AT) is specified for

3-8-2ST (Self-tuning)
ST (self-tuning) is a function that finds PID constants by using step response
st
tuning (SRT) when Controller operation begins or when the set point is
changed.
Once the PID constants have been calculated, ST is not executed when the
next control operation is started as long as the set point remains unchanged.
ST (self-tuning) is enabled when the ST parameter is set to ON in the initial
setting level.
When the ST function is in operation, be sure to turn the power supply of the
load connected to the control output ON simultaneously with or before starting
Controller operation.
When executing self-tuning, turn ON power for the load (e.g., heater) at the
same time as or before supplying power to the Digital Temperature Controller.
If power is turned ON for the Digital Temperature Controller before turning ON
power for the load, self-tuning will not be performed properly and optimum
control will not be achieved.
