(7) Cleaning: Do not use paint thinner or the equivalent. Use standard grade alcohol to clean the product.
(8) Use specified size (M3.5, width 7.2mm or less) crimped terminals for wiring.
(9) Allow as much space as possible between the controller and devices that generate a powerful hig

frequency (e.g. highfrequency welders, highfrequency sewing machines) or surge.

PRECAUTIONS FOR ENSURING CORRECT USE

F Use a 100 to 240 V AC (50/60 Hz), 24 VAC (50/60 Hz) or 24 VDC power supply matched to the power

specifications of the E5EKDRT. Also, make sure that rated voltage is attained within two seconds
of turning the power ON.

F 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).

F When mounting a noise filter on the power supply, be sure to first check the filter’s voltage and cur

rent capacity, and then mount the filter as close as possible to the controller.

F Insert a noise filter (TDK ZCB220611 or equivalent) on the AC power line to satisfy conducted emis

sion rating (FCC Regulation Class A EN500812compliant).

F Use within the following temperature and humidity ranges:
• Temperature: 10 to 55°C, Humidity: 35 to 85% (with no icing or condensation)

If the E5EKDRT is installed inside a control board, the ambient temperature must be kept to under
55°C, including the temperature around the controller.
If the controller is subjecte d to heat radiation, use a fan to cool the surface of the controller to under 55°C.

F Store within the following temperature and humidity ranges:
• Temperature: 25 to 65°C, Humidity: 35 to 85% (with no icing or condensation)

F Never place heavy objects on, or apply pressure to the controller that may cause it to deform and dete

riorate 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.

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.

This mode is used to limit use of the keys. The protect function is for pre
venting 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.

This is the main mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can execute
AT (autotuning), and set alarm values, the control period, PID parame
ters and heater burnout alarm (HBA) conditions.

This is the auxiliary mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can set
the parameters for limiting the manipulated variable, switch between the
remote and local modes, switch between the SP modes, and set the loop
break alarm (LBA), alarm hysteresis and the digital filter value of inputs.

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.

This is the mode for setting expanded functions. In this mode, you can set,
SP setting limiter, selection of 2PID control or ON/OFF control, specifi
cation of the standby sequence resetting method, time for automatic
return to the monitoring display.

1.4 About the Communications Function for
the CompoBus/D (DeviceNet) Network

The E5EKDRT operates as a slave on the CompoBus/D (DeviceNet) net
work. Items (parameters, operation instructions and statuses) that have
been assigned as communication data on the E5EKDRT can be uploaded
and downloaded between masters and slaves.
16 read and write operations can be assigned as communication data, and
can be assigned.

As the data structure is flexible like this, communications is possible using
numerous parameter configurations, and the number of parameters can
be limited to increase processing speed.

For details on the type of communication data and how to assign data, see
Chapter 6 Using CompoBus/D (DeviceNet).

For details on cable connections on the CompoBus/D (DeviceNet) net
work, see Chapter 2 Preparations, 2.3 Wiring Terminals (page 27).

tion and related system devices, see the CompoBus/D (DeviceNet) Opera
tion Manual (catalog No.: W267).

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.5 About Calibration

The E5EKDRT controller is calibrated before shipment from the factory.
So, the user need not calibrate the E5EKDRT controller during regular
use.

However, if the E5EKDRT controller must be calibrated by the user, use
the parameters provided for user to calibrate temperature input, analog
input (voltage, current). In this case, note that the results of calibration
will not be assured.
Also, note that calibration data is updated to the latest value each time the
E5EKDRT 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
E5EKDRT is provided with the following four calibration parameters.

• Thermocouple
• Platinum resistance thermometer
• Current input
• Voltage input

Two parameters are provided for thermocouple, platinum resistance ther
mometer and voltage input.

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 E5EKDRT 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 chapter 7 Calibration.

3.1 Convention Used in this Chapter

This chapter describes basic E5EKDRT operations such as how to set up
parameters, start and stop operation, and adjusting control operation.

This chapter describes basic operation according to this flow. Examples of
operation for each of these items are described at the end of the setting
examples for the parameter in question. However, you must proceed to the
first parameter of the subsequent item.

For example, to perform setting output specifications" after completing
setting input specifications," proceed to the first parameter of setting
output specifications" from the final parameter of setting input specifica
tions." For details on moving parameters between items, follow the proce
dures in Selecting modes" and Selecting parameters" described on
pages 17 and 18.

’ Basic Operation

Flow

The following are examples of how to set up each of the items. These exam
ples assume that the controller is operated at the factory defaults.

The main specifications of the setup examples in this chapter are as fol
lows:

• A K thermocouple is connected to the controller.
• The control output (heat) function is assigned to control output 1, and

the alarm 2 function is assigned to auxiliary output 1. A relay output
unit is also attached to control output 1.

• The upper limit alarm is set. In this example, alarm 2 is set. An alarm

is output when the temperature exceeds 10_C of the set point.
The control example that is configured based upon the setup example is
as follows:
