CAUTION

Do not touch the terminals while power is being supplied.
Doing so may occasionally result in minor injury due to electric
shock.

Do not touch the terminals or the electronic components or pat­terns on the PCB within 1 minute after turning OFF the power sup­ply. 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 in locations where flammable or explosive
gases are present. Doing so may occasionally result in minor or
moderate explosion, causing minor or moderate injury, or property
damage.

Do Not disassemble, modify, or repair the product or touch any of
the internal parts. Minor electric shock, fire, or malfunction may
occasionally occur.

Tighten the screws on the terminal block to the following specified
torque. Loose screws may occasionally cause fire, resulting in
minor or moderate injury, or damage to the equipment.

Terminal block screws: 0.40 to 0.56 N·m

Perform correct setting of the product according to the application.
Failure to do so may occasionally cause unexpected operation,
resulting in minor or moderate injury, or damage to the equipment.

A malfunction in the Product may occasionally make control oper­ations impossible or prevent alarm outputs, occasionally resulting
in property damage to the system or equipment connected to the
Product. To maintain safety in the event of malfunction of the
Product, take appropriate safety measures, such as installing a
monitoring device in a separate system.

Do not use the equipment for measurements within measurement
categories II, III, or IV (according to IEC61010-1). Doing so may
occasionally cause unexpected operation, resulting in minor or
moderate injury, or damage to the equipment. Use the equipment
for measurements only within the measurement categories for
which the product is designed.

The service life of the output relays depends on the switching
capacity and switching conditions. Consider the actual application
conditions and use the product within the rated load and electrical
service life. Using the product beyond its service life may occa­sionally result in contact welding or burning.

V

Precautions for Safe Use

(1) Use and store the Digital Controller in the range of specifications for ambient

temperature and humidity. The service life will decrease due to increased
internal temperature if multiple Digital Controllers are mounted closely side by
side or one on top of the other. If this type of mounting is used, use forced
cooling, e.g., use a fan to blow air onto the Digital Controllers.

(2) Do not prevent heat dissipation by obstructing the periphery of the Digital

Controller. Do not block the vents on the Digital Controller unit.

(3) The supplied power voltage and load must be within the rated and specified

ranges.

(4) Be sure to confirm the name and polarity for each terminal before wiring the

terminal block.
(5) Do not connect anything to unused terminals.
(6) Use the specified size of crimp terminals (M3, width: 5.8 mm max.) to wire the

terminal block. When connecting bare wires, use copper stranded or solid

wires, and use AWG22 (cross-sectional area of 0.326 mm

sectional area of 2.081 mm

(cross-sectional area of 0.081 mm

2

) for other terminals. (Length of exposed wire: 6 to 8 mm)

mm

2

) for the power supply terminals and AWG28

2

) to AWG16 (cross-sectional area of 1.309

(7) Ensure that the rated voltage is attained within 2 seconds after turning ON the

power.
(8) Turn OFF the power first when you need to draw out the Digital Controller. Do

Not touch the terminals or the electronic components, or subject them to

physical shock. When inserting the Digital Controller, do not allow the

electronic components to contact the case.
(9) Do not remove the inner circuit board.
(10) The output may turn OFF when shifting to certain levels. Take this into consid-

eration when performing control.
(11) Allow a warm-up time of at least 30 minutes.
(12) To prevent inductive noise, separate the Digital Controller terminal block wiring

from power lines that carry high voltages or high currents. Also, do not wire

power lines together with or parallel to the Digital Controller wiring. Using

shielded cables and 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 has an inductive 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 product. Allow as much space as possible between the

product and devices that generate powerful high frequencies (e.g., high-

frequency welders, high-frequency sewing machines) or surge.
(13) Install a switch or circuit breaker that allows the operator to immediately turn

OFF the power, and label suitably.
(14) The product is designed for indoor use only.

Do not use the product outdoors or in any of the following locations.

· Locations where dust or corrosive gas is present (in particular, sulfur or
ammonia gases)

· Locations where condensation or ice may form

· Locations directly exposed to sunlight

· Locations subject to strong shocks or vibration

· Locations where water or oil may splatter on the Digital Controller

· Locations directly exposed to radiant heat from heating equipment

· Locations subject to sudden or extreme changes of temperature

(15) Do not use paint thinner or similar chemical to clean with. Use standard grade

alcohol.

● Service Life

Precautions for Correct Use

Use the product within the following temperature and humidity ranges:

Temperature:
Humidity: 25% to 85%

When the product is installed inside a control panel, make sure that the temperature
around the product, not the temperature around the control panel, does not exceed
55°C.

The service life of this product and similar electronic devices is determined not only
by the number of switching operations of relays but also by the service life of
internal electronic components. Component service life is affected by the ambient
temperature: the higher the temperature becomes, the shorter the service life
becomes and, the lower the temperature becomes, the longer the service life
becomes. Therefore, the service life can be extended by lowering the temperature
of the product.

Be sure to install the product according to the specified conditions. Otherwise, the
heat generated by the product will cause the internal temperature to rise, short­ening the service life. If necessary, cool the product using fans or other means of air
ventilation.

When providing forced cooling, however, be careful not to cool down the terminals
sections alone to avoid measurement errors.

−10 to 55°C (no icing or condensation)

● Noise Countermeasures

To prevent inductive noise, separate the wiring for the product's terminal block and
connector from high-voltage, high-current power lines. Do not run the wiring parallel
to or in the same cable as power lines. The influence of noise can also be reduced
by using separate wiring ducts or shield lines.

Install surge absorbers or noise filters in devices near the product that generate
noise (in particular, devices with an inductance component, such as motors, trans­formers, solenoids, and magnetic coils).

If a noise filter is used for the power supply, check the voltage and current, and
install the noise filter as close as possible to the product.

Separate the product as far as possible from devices generating strong high­frequency noise (e.g., high-frequency welders and high-frequency sewing
machines) or surges.

● Measurement Accuracy

When extending the thermocouple lead wire, be sure to use a compensating wire
that matches the thermocouple type.

When extending the lead wire of the platinum resistance thermometer, be sure to
use wires that have low resistance, and make sure that the resistances of the three
lead wires are the same.

If the measurement accuracy is low, check whether the input shift is set correctly.

● Waterproofing

The degree of protection is as shown below.

Section 1 Overview

1.1 Main Features of the E5AR-T and E5ER-T

Overview

The E5AR-T/ER-T is an advanced Programmable Digital Controller that features high-precision control.
The E5AR-T/ER-T has the following features.

■ Inputs

● High-speed

Sampling

● High Accuracy and
High Resolution

• Sampling period: 50 ms

• Indication accuracy

Thermocouple: (Larger of ±0.1% PV or ±1°C) ± 1 digit max.

Platinum resistance thermometer:

(Larger of ±0.1% PV or ±0.5°C) ± 1 digit max.

Analog input: (±0.1% FS) ± 1 digit max

(For non-standard specifications, refer to Appendix Specifications
(P. A-2))

• Input resolution: 1/100°C
(Pt100: A range of
is provided.)

• High-speed sampling is achieved simultaneously with high accuracy
and high resolution. This provides high-accuracy, high-speed control
to match your application.

−150.00 to 150.00°C with a resolution of 0.01°C

● Multi-input
Function

• A wide range of temperature inputs and analog inputs is supported.
Temperature inputs:

Thermocouples: K, J, T, E, L, U, N, R, S, B, W
Platinum resistance thermometers: Pt100

Analog inputs:

Current inputs: 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA
Voltage inputs: 1 to 5 V, 0 to 5 V, or 0 to 10 V

● Multiple Inputs • The E5AR-T is available with either 2 input or 4 input channels.

The E5ER-T comes with 2 inputs.

■ Controller

● Programs • Up to 32 programs can be created containing set points, times, PID

set numbers, alarm set numbers, wait upper/lower limits, segment
outputs, program repetitions, and program links. The set point,
times, wait function, and segment outputs can be set for each
segment. Outputs can be set for each segment or outputs can be
set based on the time from the start of the segment.

● PID Sets • Up to 8 PID sets can be created to store settings (PID constants,

MV limits, and automatic selection range upper limits) for PID
control.

1-2

● A wide Variety of
Control Modes and
Functions

■ Outputs

1.1 Main Features of the E5AR-T and E5ER-T

• PID sets can be selected not only by directly specifying the PID set
number in a program, but they can also be selected automatically
according to the present value, deviation, or set point.

• Coordinated operation is possible with one Digital Controller for
models with 2 or 4 input channels, eliminating the need for slave
adjusters.

• Position-proportional Control Models support floating control or
closed control. Floating control allows position-proportional control
without a potentiometer.

Overview

● Multi-output
Function

• Multi-outputs enable using either current outputs or voltage outputs
(pulses).

● High Resolution • Resolution of Current Outputs

0 to 20 mA: Approx. 54,000
4 to 20 mA: Approx. 43,000

● Control Period • The control period can be set as short as 0.2 seconds, allowing

precise time-proportioning control for voltage output pulses.

1.3 I/O and Main Functions

■ Main Functions

● Inputs First, set the input type switch for each input to specify using either a

temperature input (thermocouple (TC) or resistance thermometer
(PT)) or an analog input (current input or voltage input), and then set
the Input Type parameter.

If the input type switch is set to a temperature input (resistance
thermometer or thermocouple), the temperature unit can be set. If the
input type switch is set to an analog input (current input or voltage
input), scaling and the decimal point position can be set.

● Installation Procedure

If the front of the Controller
needs to be watertight, attach
the enclosed watertight
packing.
If the front of the Controller
does not need to be water­tight, the watertight packing
does not need to be attached.
Insert the Controller into the
cutout in the panel.
Insert the enclosed fittings
into the grooves on the top
and bottom of the rear case.

2.1 Installation

Preparations

Gradually tighten the screws
in the top and bottom fittings,
alternating between them so
that they are balanced.
Tighten the screws until the
ratchet turns freely (i.e., until
the screws are no longer
engaged).

● Pulling Out the
Controller

Normally there is no need to pull out the Controller. However, it can be
pulled out if needed for maintenance purposes.

3.2 Coordinated Electric Oven Operation

3.2 Coordinated Electric Oven Operation

With Models with Four Input Channels, coordinated operation can be performed based on channel 1.
Operation is programmed using the same program for all channels. Offsets can be set for channels 2 to 4.

■ Application

Traditionally, three programmable temperature Controllers were
required to control electric ovens in three zones. With the E5AR-T/ER­T, however, only one Controller is required for coordinated operation as
long as the same program is used. Here, the E5AR-TCCE3MWW-FLK
is used.

4.6 Selecting the Control Mode

The control mode allows various types of control to be performed. The control mode is set to standard
control by default.

■ Standard Control

• Standard heating or cooling control is performed. The Direct/
Reverse Operation parameter is used to select heating (reverse
operation) or cooling (direct operation).

• When using PID control, the Proportional Band (P), Integral Time (I),
and Derivative Time (D) parameters must be set.
These PID constants can be set either using auto-tuning (AT) or
manually.

• When the proportional band (P) is set to 0.00%, control becomes
ON/OFF control.

for Basic Control

Settings Required

■ Heating/Cooling Control

• Heating and cooling control is performed.

• When using PID control, in addition to the Proportional Band (P),
Integral Time (I), and Derivative Time (D) parameters, the Cooling
Coefficient and Dead Band parameters must also be set.
The PID constants can be set either using auto-tuning (AT) or

manually. The Cooling Coefficient and Dead Band parameters must
be set manually.

• When the proportional band (P) is set to 0.00%, control becomes
ON/OFF control and 3-position control is possible.

● Dead Band The dead band is set centered on the set point. The dead band width

is set in the Dead Band parameter in the Adjustment Level. A negative
setting sets an overlap band.

Section 4 Settings Required for Basic Control

● Cooling Coefficient If heating and cooling characteristics of the controlled object are

different and good control characteristics cannot be achieved with the
same PID constants, a cooling coefficient can be set to adjust the
proportional band for the cooling control output to achieve balance
between heating and cooling control.

Heating P = P
Cooling P = Heating P

× Cooling coefficient

The cooling P is obtained by multiplying the heating P by the cooling
coefficient to control the cooling output with different characteristics
from the heating output.

The following control modes can be selected only on Controllers with 2 inputs.

■ Standard Control with Remote SP

• An external DC current or voltage signal can be input into the

remote SP input as the SP.

• Input 2 can be used within the setting range determined by the input
2 type.

■ Heating/Cooling Control with Remote SP

• An external DC current or voltage signal can be input into the
remote SP input (input 2) to perform heating/cooling control using
the remote SP input as the SP.

• Input 2 can be used within the setting range determined by the
setting of the Input 2 Type parameter.

■ Proportional Control

• Proportional control is used to maintain a set proportional
relationship between two variables.

• Proportional control is set in the Analog Parameter 1 (control rate)
parameter.

• If the input type set for input 1 and input 2 are different, the units for
input 1 and input 2 must be adjusted. Settings must be made for the
following: first, the Straight-line Approximation 1 parameters must be

■ Cascade Standard Control

• Cascade control can be performed using standard control (heating
control or cooling control).

If an error occurs on the primary side, the value set for the MV at PV
Error parameter is output as the primary side (channel 1) MV. The
secondary side continues control of the remote SP equivalent to the
primary side setting for the MV at PV Error parameter. This means that
the primary side (channel 1) MV at PV Error parameter must always
be set.

■ Cascade Heating/Cooling Control

• Cascade control can be performed using heating/cooling control.

• Input 1 is for the primary loop (channel 1) and input 2 is for the
secondary loop (channel 2).

The Control Mode parameter does not need to be set for Position-proportional Control Models. These
models always perform position-proportional control.

Section 4 Settings Required for Basic Control

■ Position-proportional Control

• A potentiometer is used to determine how much the valve is open or
closed. The opening of valves with control motors attached can be
controlled, i.e., opened or closed.

• With position-proportional control, control can be switched between
closed control and floating control. Travel time can be automatically
measured using motor calibration, and position-proportional dead
band, open/close hysteresis, PV dead band, and other parameters
can be set.

● Closed/Floating • Closed Control

When a potentiometer is connected, closed control provides
feedback on the valve opening.

• Floating Control
No feedback is provided on the valve opening using a potentiometer.
Control is possible without a potentiometer connected.

The travel time, which is the time from when the valve is fully open to
when it is fully closed, is automatically measured and set at the same
time.

The Travel Time parameter must be set for floating control without a
potentiometer connected. Set the Travel Time parameter to the time
from when the valve is fully open to when it is fully closed.

The valve output hold interval (the interval between open output and
closed output ON/OFF points) is set using the Position Proportional
Dead Band parameter and the hysteresis is set using the Open/Close
Hysteresis parameter. The following diagram shows the relationship to
the valve opening.

● Segment Set Point
and Segment Time

• Once the program has been executed for the number of segments
set for the Number of Segments Used parameter, the program will
be in operation completed status. If the setting of the Number of
Segments Used parameter is changed to a value smaller than the
segment currently being executed in the program, the program will
immediately change to operation completed status.

• The Segment Set Point and Segment Time parameters are used to
set one segment of a program. The present SP is determined by
using the SP of the previous segment as the start point and the SP
of the current segment as the end point. A straight line is drawn
between these two points and the present SP is the point on that
line where the current segment time has elapsed.

• The Segment Time parameter can be set to between 0.00 and 99.59
(hours. minutes or minutes. seconds) or between 0.00.0 and 99.59.9
(minutes. seconds.tenths of seconds). The default is 0.00 or 0.00.0.

• The first segment is a soak segment. To start from a ramp, set the
Segment Time parameter for segment 1 to 0 to create a program
that starts from segment 2 (when the Operation at Reset parameter
is set to “Control Stop”).

4.9 Performing ON/OFF Control

4.9 Performing ON/OFF Control

ON/OFF control consists of setting an SP and then having the control output turn OFF when the temper­ature reaches the SP during control. When the control output turns OFF, the temperature begins to fall,
and once it falls to a certain point, the control output turns ON again. This action is repeated around a
certain position. ON/OFF control requires setting the Hysteresis (Heating) parameter to the temperature
drop from the SP where control output should turn ON. The Direct/Reverse Operation parameter is used
to determine whether the MV is increased or decreased with respect to an increase or decrease of the PV.

■ ON/OFF Control

• On the E5AR-T/ER-T, switching between advanced PID control and
ON/OFF control is accomplished by setting the Proportional Band
parameter. When the proportional band is set to 0.00, ON/OFF
control is performed, and when it is set to any value except 0.00,
advanced PID control is performed. The default setting is 10.00.

for Basic Control

Settings Required

● Hysteresis • In ON/OFF control, hysteresis is added when switching between ON

and OFF to stabilize operation. The width of the hysteresis is called
simply the hysteresis. The hysteresis is set for both heating and
cooling control output using the Hysteresis (Heating) and Hysteresis
(Cooling) parameters.

• For standard control (heating or cooling control), only the Hysteresis
(Heating) parameter is used, regardless of whether heating or
cooling is being performed.

● Three-position

• For heating/cooling control, an area can be set where the MV is 0 for
both heating and cooling. This area is called the dead band. This

4.10 Determining the PID Constants
(AT or Manual Settings)

■ Auto-tuning (AT)

• When AT is executed, the most suitable PID constants for the
current SP are set automatically. This is accomplished by varying
the MV to obtain the characteristics of the control object using the
limit cycle method.

• The following operations are not possible during AT: Changing
settings, holding or releasing the program, and segment operations,
such as advance and back operations.

• AT will stop if the Run/Reset parameter is set to “Reset” and the
Operation at Reset parameter is set to stop control, or if Manual
Mode is entered.

• When executing AT, select 0 to execute AT for the PID set that is
currently being used for control, or select 1 to 8 as to execute AT for
a specific PID set.

• The results of AT will be reflected in PID Setting Level in the Propor­tional Band (P), Integral Time (I), and Derivative Time (D) param­eters of the PID set number specified at the time AT was executed.

The following operation will be performed if the Operation at Reset
parameter is set for fixed control.

• If the Run/Reset parameter is changed from “Run” to “Reset” during
AT execution, the present SP will be changed to a fixed set point
after AT has been completed.

• If AT is executed while the Run/Reset parameter is set to “Reset”
and the Run/Reset parameter is changed from “Reset” to “Run”
during AT execution, the set program will be started after completing
AT for the fixed SP.

■ Limit Cycle

4.10 Determining the PID Constants (ATor Manual Settings)

The timing for generating a limit cycle depends on whether or not the
deviation (DV) when AT is begun is less than the Temporary AT
Excitation Judgement Deviation parameter (default: 10.0% FS).

The PV changes as follows during AT:

Supplement

• If you already know the control characteristics, directly set the PID constants
to adjust control. The PID constants are set in the Proportional Band (P),
Integral Time (I), and Derivative Time (D) parameters.

• I (integral time) and D (derivative time) can be set to 0 to select a propor­tional action. In the default settings, the Manual Reset Value parameter is

4.12 Starting and Stopping Operation

■ Starting Operation (Run) and Stopping Operation (Reset)

To start program operation, set the Run/Reset parameter to “Run.” To
stop program operation, set the Run/Reset parameter to “Reset.”
Program execution will stop if the Hold parameter is set to “ON.”

● Operation at Reset The operation status when the Run/Reset parameter is set to “Reset”

can be selected. The two operation statuses outlined below can be
selected by using the Operation at Reset parameter.

• Operation at Reset Parameter Set to “Control Stop”
The following diagram shows the status transition when the
Operation at Reset parameter is set to “control stop.”

RUN HOLD

See note 1.

RESET (control stop)

See note 2.

Fixed control

See note 3.

Note1: Program operation starts from the segment 1 SP.

2:Control is stopped while resetting.

3:The status switches to fixed control in SP mode.

Control stop is held when the mode is shifted to fixed control
(Fixed SP Mode) or Remote SP Mode during the reset.

• When using Standard Models, set the MV at Reset parameter to
between

−5.0% and 105.0% to output during reset. The default is

0.0%. (For heating/cooling control, set the MV at Reset parameter to
between −105.0% and 105.0%.)

• When using the Position-proportional Models, fully open, fully
closed, or hold status can be selected using the MV at Reset
parameter. In open status, only the output on the open side is ON. In
closed status, only the output on the closed side is ON. In hold
status, the outputs on both the open and closed sides are OFF. The
default setting is “hold.”

Section 4 Settings Required for Basic Control

Note1:The program moves into Program SP Mode and program

operation starts from the fixed SP.

2:Control does not stop. Control is executed for the fixed SP.

(The program moves into Fixed SP Mode.) Control is executed
for the remote SP when the program moves into Remote SP
Mode.

• If the Operation at Reset parameter is set to “fixed control,” the first
segment will become a ramp segment.

• The following table shows example settings.

Ramp back

The program is always executed from the begin­ning when the power is turned ON.

The SP starts from the present value when the
power is turned ON and ramp operation is per­formed with the previous ramp slope.

2:If a PV start causes an invalid period, time will be considered to

have elapsed for the invalid period.
The elapsed program and segment timers will operate as
outlined below when “Ramp Back” has been set for the
Operation at Power ON parameter:

• If power is interrupted while soaking, the timer will stop until
the present SP returns to the segment SP.

• If power is interrupted during ramp operation, the timer is
restarted using the PV immediately after power is restored as
the PV when power was interrupted.

3:For the Standard Models in Manual Mode at the power inter-

ruption.

4:If power is interrupted in Auto Mode, the value set for the MV at

Reset parameter will be output, unless the Manual Output
Method parameter is set to “Output Initial Value.” If the Manual
Output Method parameter is set to “Output Initial Value,” the
value set for the Manual MV Initial Value parameter will be
output.

5:For coordinated operation, the channel 1 values for the

Program No., Segment No., Elapsed Program Time, Elapsed
Segment Time, Program Repetitions, and Hold Status param­eters will be used for the other channels.

• The default setting for the Operation at Power ON parameter
is “Continue.”

• Set the Operation at Power ON parameter for each channel.

for Basic Control

Settings Required

• If the control mode is set to cascade control, set the
Operation at Power ON parameter for channel 2.

• The operation when the Operation at Power ON parameter is set to
“Ramp Back” is described below.
