Pay Attention to the Following when Installing this Controller

F If you remove the controller from its case, never touch nor apply shock to the electronic parts inside.

F Do not cover the top and bottom of the controller. (Ensure sufficient space around the controller to allow heat to escape.)

F Use a voltage (AC100#240Vor AC/DC24V at 50 to 60 Hz). At power ON, the pre# scribed voltage level must be attained within two seconds.

F When wiring input or output lines to your controller, keep the following points in mind to reduce the influence from inductive noise:

C• Allow adequate space between the high voltage/current power lines and the input/out# put lines.

C• Avoid parallel or common wiring with high voltage sources and power lines carrying large currents.

C• Using separating pipes, duct, and shielded line is also useful in protecting the controller, and its lines form inductive noise.

F Allow as much space as possible between the controller and devices that generate a pow# erful, high frequency (high#frequency welders, high#frequency sewing machines, and so forth) or surge. These devices may cause malfunctions.

F If there is a large power#generating peripheral device and any of its lines, attach a surge suppressor or noise filter to the device to stop the noise affecting the controller system. In particular, motors, transformers, solenoids and magnetic coils have an inductance component, and therefore can generate very strong noises.

F When mounting a noise filter, be sure to first check the filter's voltage and current capacity, then mount the filter as close as possible to the controller.

F Do not use the controller in places where icing, condensation, dust, corrosive gas (espe# cially sulfurized gas or ammonia gas), shock, vibration, splashing liquid, or oil atmo# sphere occur. Also, avoid places where the controller can be subjected to intense heat radiation (like from a furnace) or sudden temperature changes.

F Ambient temperature must be kept between #10_C to 55_C. Ambient humidity must be kept between 35%RH to 85%RH (with no icing or condensation). If the controller is installed inside a control board, the ambient temperature must be kept under 55_C, including the temperature around the controller. If the controller is subjected to heat radiation, use a fan to cool the surface of the controller to under 55_C.

F Store the controller at an ambient temperature between #25_C to 65_C. The ambient humidity must be between 35%RH to 85%RH (with no icing or condensation).

F Never place heavy objects on, or apply pressure to the controller that may cause it to deform and deterioration during use or storage.

F Avoid using the controller in places near a radio, television set, or wireless installation. These devices can cause radio disturbances which adversely affect the performance of the controller.

JHow to use keys

F key

F key

F key

The following describes basic key operations.

Each press of this key switches between the auto and manual operations.

The functions of this key change according to how long it is pressed. If the key is pressed for less than one second, the parameters are switched. If the key is pressed for one second or more, the menu display appears. In key operations from here on, “press the key" refers to pressing the key for less than one second.

For details on parameter switching and menu display items, see page 1-7.

Each press of the key increments or advances the values or settings on the No.2 display, while each press of the key decrements or returns the values or settings on the No.2 display.

Functions vary, for example, when the key is held down simulta# neously with the display key, or a key is held down continuously. For details, see page 1#7. Also, chapters 3 and 4 describe examples using vari# ous key combinations.

1.2 Input and Output

JOutput

The E5CK supports the following four outputs. Control output 1

Control output 2

Auxiliary output 1

Transfer output

When using control outputs 1 and 2, set the output unit (sold separately).

Eight output units are available to suit the output circuit configuration.

When using transfer output, add on the communication unit (E53-CKF).

Note: The output functions of the E5CK do not operate for five seconds af# ter the E5CK is turned ON.

F Output assignments

F Transfer output

The E5CK supports the following eight output functions. Control output (heat)

Control output (cool)

Alarms 1 to 3

LBA

Error 1 (input error)

Error 2 (A/D converter error)

Assign these output functions to control outputs 1 and 2 and auxiliary out# put 1.

Only control output (heat), control output (cool), alarms 1 to 3, and LBA can be assigned to control outputs 1 and 2. Also, only alarms 1 to 3, LBA, and errors 1 and 2 can be assigned to auxiliary output 1.

In the example on the previous page, •control output (heat)" is assigned to •control output 1", •alarm 1" is assigned to •control output 2", and •alarm 2" is assigned to •auxiliary output 1". Accordingly, the configura# tion is such that heating control output is connected to control output 1, and alarm output is connected to control output 2 and auxiliary output 1.

In a heating and cooling control, assign •control output (cool)" to either of •control output 1" or •control output 2".

The E5CK supports the following five transfer outputs. Set point

Set point during SP ramp

Process value

Heating side manipulated variable

Cooling side manipulated variable

These transfer outputs can be output after being scaled. Setting of an upper limit value smaller than the lower limit value is allowed, so reverse scaling can also be carried out.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.3 Parameters and Menus

JParameter types	E5CK parameters are distributed between the following nine modes.
	Protect mode
	Manual mode
	Level 0 mode
	Level 1 mode
	Level 2 mode
	Setup mode
	Expansion mode
	Option mode
	Calibration mode
	The settings of parameters in each of seven modes (excluding the protect
	mode and manual mode) can be checked and modified by selection on the
	menu display.

F Protect mode

F Manual mode

F Level 0 mode

This mode is used to limit use of the menu and keys. The protect func# tion is for preventing unwanted modification of parameters and switching between the auto and manual operation.

In this mode, the controller can be switched manual operation. The manipulated variable can be manipulated manually only in this mode.

Set the controller to this mode during normal operation. In this mode, you may change the set point during operation, and stop and start operation. You can also monitor (not change) the process value, ramp SP and manip# ulated variable.

F Level 1 mode	This is the main mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can execute
	AT (auto#tuning), and set alarm values, the control period and PID param#
	eters.
F Level 2 mode	This is the auxiliary mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can set
	the parameters for limiting the manipulated variable and set point, switch
	between the remote and local modes, and set the loop break alarm (LBA),
	alarm hysteresis and the digital filter value of inputs.
F Setup mode	This is the mode for setting the basic specifications. In this mode, you can
	set parameters that must be checked or set before operation such as the
	input type, scaling, output assignments and direct/reverse operation.
F Expansion mode	This is the mode for setting expanded functions. In this mode, you can set
	ST (self#tuning), SP setting limiter, selection of advanced PID or ON/OFF
	control, specification of the standby sequence resetting method, initializa#
	tion of parameters, time for automatic return to the monitoring display.

1–6

									1.3 Parameters and Menus
F Option mode				This is the mode for setting option functions. You can select this mode only
				when the option unit is set in the controller. In this mode, you can set the
				communications conditions, transfer output and event input parameters
				to match the type of option unit set in the controller.
F Calibration mode				This mode is provided so that the user can calibrate inputs and transfer
				output.
				When calibrating input, the selected input type is calibrated. Whereas,
				transfer output can be calibrated only when the communications unit
				(E53-CKF) is set in the controller.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.5 About Calibration

FCalibrating inputs

The E5CK controller is calibrated before shipment from the factory. So, the user need not calibrate the E5CK controller during regular use.

However, if the E5CK controller must be calibrated by the user, use the parameters provided for user to calibrate temperature input, analog input (voltage, current) and transfer output.

Also, note that calibration data is updated to the latest value each time the E5CK controller is calibrated. Calibration data set before shipment from the factory cannot be returned to after calibration by the user.

The input type selected in the parameter is the item to be calibrated. The E5CK is provided with the following four calibration parameters.

C• Thermocouple

C• Platinum resistance thermometer C• Current input

C• Voltage input

Two parameters are provided for thermocouple and voltage input.

F Calibrating transfer output

F Registering calibration data

Transfer output can be calibrated when the communications unit (E53-CKF) is added on.

When calibrating each item, the calibration data is temporarily regis# tered. This data can be registered as final calibration data only when all items have been newly calibrated. So, all items must be temporarily regis# tered when calibrating the E5CK controller.

When registering data, information regarding whether or not calibration has been carried out is also registered.

To calibrate these items, the user must prepare separate measuring devices and equipment. For details on handling these measuring devices and equipment, refer to the respective manuals.

For details, see 4.5 Calibration (page 4-11).
