Output Limitations
Ramp
The E5ZE is connected to platinum resistance thermometers or thermocouples,
depending on the model used. The type of temperature sensor is specified using
the INPUT selector on the front panel of the Unit. The input values can be adjusted using the input adjustment function.
The control outputs can be either voltage output or current output, depending on
the model. The control period and direct/reverse operation can be specified using the set values.
A maximum of 2 alarm outputs are possible. There are 12 alarm modes that can
be set for each alarm output according to set values. The outputs are comprehensive output for all control points.
The output values are limited by the following 2 limiters:
• Output limiter
• Output change rate limiter
If an output value is outside the upper or lower limit for the output, the output will
be limited to the preset upper or lower limit. The output change rate limiter limits
the rate at which output values change per unit time.
The ramp function is used to limit the control temperature (set point) from changing rapidly. If the set point changes quicker than the preset rate, the rate of temperature change will be limited to the preset rate, and the temperature will gradually change until it reaches the new temperature. The ramp can be set by the
user.

Control Adjustment
Heater Burnout and SSR
Failure Detection
Control Method Selection
Memory Banks
PID and fuzzy constants can be set by executing auto-tuning (AT). If an offset
occurs during P or PD control, manual adjustment is possible using the manual
reset function. Temperature turbulence caused by external disturbances can be
suppressed and controlled using the fuzzy function.
Output short circuits caused by heater burnout or SSR failure can be detected.
Control can be switched between ON/OFF control and the normal 2-PID control
(with 2 degrees of freedom). Manual operation is also possible.
The memory banks store different sets of set values for the control points. There
are 8 memory banks for each control point. Memory banks allow the set values
for a control point to be changed as a group rather than resetting them individually. Use the external contact inputs or communications to designate the required memory bank.

The number of E5ZE-8D1B DeviceNet Models with casing that can be
connected to one DeviceNet Master Unit depends on the capability of the Master
being used. The maximum number of Units that can be connected to one Master
is calculated according to the number of words allocated to the
E5ZE-8D1B and the number of words that can be used by the Master.
• The number of words allocated to the E5ZE-8D1B is as follows:
Inputs:14 words
28
Outputs: 9 words
Message communications (FINS messages) are used.
Example: C200HW-DRM21-V1 DeviceNet Master Unit without Configurator
• The number of words used by the Master is 50 input words and 50 output
words (current as of July 31, 1998). The E5ZE-8D1B is allocated
14 words, so the maximum number of Units that can be connected is as follows:
50 14 = 3 Units.

E5ZE-8V Heating and Cooling Control Models.
The E5ZE has 8 memory banks, 0 to 7, for each control point. The memory
banks store specific groups of setting data. The E5ZE controls each control point
according to the contents of the current memory bank.
• All set values are written (set) or read using communications. The control point
number and memory bank number must be specified for each command. For
DeviceNet, however, the control point and memory bank numbers do not always need to be specified.
• When DeviceNet (remote I/O) is used, set values will be read and written according to the current memory bank.
Memory banks are designated using contact inputs or through communications.
The method of memory bank designation is set using pin 3 of the FUNCTION
switch. Refer to 2-3 Setting Selectors and Switch for details on setting methods.
• When the E5ZE is turned ON, the memory banks previously selected through
communications will be in effect.

3-2I/O Settings
3-2-1Input Type
3-2-2Input Shift
3-2-3Control Period
The E5ZE is available in models that can be used for thermocouple inputs or
platinum resistance thermometer inputs.
The input type is set using the INPUT selector on the front panel of the Unit. Refer to 2-3 Setting Selectors and Switch for details on settings.
Set the input shift parameter in each memory bank.
The input shift function adds the value set for the input shift to the process value
and the E5ZE then controls using this temperature as the process value. For example, if the process value is 100°C and the input shift is –12°C, the E5ZE will
use 100°C – 12°C = 88°C as the process value for control.
The input shift setting range is –99.9 to 99.9°C or –99.9 to 99.9°F (default: 0.0°C
or 0.0°F.)
If the Voltage Output Model is being used, set the control period in each memory
bank.
Set the length of the control output period. The setting range is between 1 and
99 s (default: 2 s). For direct operation, the default can be used.
31
Page 39
Set Point and Process Value
3-2-4Direct/Reverse Operation
The direct/reverse operation parameter is the same for all control points.
Reverse operation is used for heating control and direct operation is used for
cooling control.
The default is 0000, i.e., all control points will operate in reverse (heating con-
trol).
3-3Set Point and Process Value
The setting for the set point used to control the temperature and the process value includes a temperature unit and a setting unit.
The temperature unit (°C or °F) is specified using pin 6 of the FUNCTION switch
on the front panel of the Unit. Refer to 2-3 Setting Selectors and Switch for details on settings.
The setting unit is set using the setting unit parameter as either 0 or 0.1 (default).
If serial communications are used to read the set point and process value data, 4
digits will be indicated if the setting unit is “0” and 5 digits will be indicated if the
setting unit is “0.1.”
The same setting unit is used for all control points.
Section 3-3
3-3-1Setting Set Point
Set the set point using the Set Point Write (WS) command in each memory bank
of each control point.
If DeviceNet communications are being used, the values in the memory of the
host devices will be automatically reflected in the settings.
The default is 0.0°C or 0.0°F.
3-3-2Reading Process Value
Read the process value using the Process Value Read (RX) command. The process value will be read for each control point.
If DeviceNet is used, the values in the memory of the host device will be automatically read.
Setting Unit
The setting unit is used as the unit for the alarm temperature and current control
temperature during ramp control, as well as for the set point and process value.
The settings will not be affected if the setting unit is changed. If the settings are
read, however, they will be indicated as follows:
• If the setting unit is set to 0.1, and data is read after changing the setting unit to
0, any value after the decimal point will be rounded off to a whole integer. For
example, 1234.5 will be read as 1235.
• If the setting unit is set to 0, and data is read after changing the setting unit to
0.1, a zero will be added after the decimal point. For example, 1234 will be read
as 1234.0.
Operation Start and Stop
32
• Execute the Operation Start (OS) command for each control point to start temperature control.
• Execute the Operation Stop (OP) command to stop temperature control or
manual operation.
• When DeviceNet communications are used, specific bits are allocated in the
memory of the host device for starting and stopping temperature control. Temperature control is started and stopped by turning the corresponding bit ON or
OFF.

Alarm Output Settings
3-4Alarm Output Settings
• The alarm outputs can be set for alarms 1 and 2 for each control point. Each
alarm output will be output from the alarm 1 and alarm 2 terminals. The alarm 1
and 2 terminals are used for all control points.
• The alarm output conditions are determined by the combination of the alarm
mode and alarm temperature settings.
• In addition to normal alarm outputs, alarm outputs for both HB alarms and HS
alarms are also possible.
• The alarm outputs do not operate when the E5ZE is stopped.

or 0C (HB and HS alarm).
Section 3-4
Standby Sequence
Alarm Operation Summary
The Standby Sequence enables delaying output of an alarm until the process
value enters the alarm range from outside the alarm range.
For example, if the alarm mode is set to Lower-limit Alarm without Standby Sequence, and the ambient temperature is lower than the alarm set value (i.e.,
within the alarm range), the alarm output will turn ON at startup. If, under the
same conditions, the alarm mode is set to Lower-limit Alarm with Standby Sequence, the alarm output will only turn ON when the process value rises once
above the alarm set value (i.e., outside the alarm range) and then drops back
below it (i.e., within the alarm range).
• When the alarm output turns ON, the standby sequence operation will be ended. The standby sequence will restart again, however, under the following
conditions.
• If temperature control or manual operation is started.
• If the power is turned ON.
• If the set point is changed.
• If the alarm temperature is changed during operation.

Output Limitations
3-5Output Limitations
The upper and lower limits for the output value are limited by an output limiter
and the output change rate is limited by an output change rate limiter.
3-5-1Output Limiter
If the output value calculated by the E5ZE is outside the range of the output limiter, the actual output will be restricted to the specified upper or lower limit.
• Set the upper limit and the lower limit within the range of 0.0% to 100.0%.
• The lower limit cannot be set to a value greater than the upper limit.
• If the lower limit is 100.0, the output value will be 100.0%.
• If the upper limit is 0.0, the output value will be 0.0%.
• If the upper limit is equal to the lower limit, the output value will be equal to the
output limits.

3-5-2Output Change Rate Limiter
The change in output value during one sampling period (approx. 200 ms) is limited by the output change rate limiter. If the output value calculated by the E5ZE
changes too quickly, the actual output will be that allowed by the setting of the
output change rate limiter and will gradually change until it reaches the calculated output value.
Output value (%)
Point of change
• The change rate limit setting range is between 0.0% and 100.0% per 200 ms.
The change rate limiter is disabled if the value is set to 0.0 (default).
• Use the following formula to calculate and set the change rate limit when the
change rate is A% for 1 s of output.
Standard Control Models:A x 0.2
Heating and Cooling Control Models: A x 0.2 x 0.5
• The output change rate limiter will operate for both heating control and cooling
control.

each control point separately.)
• When auto-tuning is executed, the optimum PID constants and fuzzy scale for
the set point will be automatically set in the current memory bank. The following set values will be changed.
Proportional band (P constant), integral time (I constant), derivative time (D
constant), fuzzy scale 1, fuzzy scale 2
• The AT indicator will be lit while auto-tuning is being executed.
• A method of obtaining the characteristics of the controlled object (the limit
cycle method), by causing the output value to fluctuate is used. The application
of the method, however, will vary depending on whether the deviation (the difference between the set point value and the process value) is greater or less
than 100°C or 180°F when auto-tuning is started.

Section 3-7
• Auto-tuning cannot be executed when the E5ZE operation is stopped or it is
being operated manually.
• The auto-tuning execution time may be extended depending on the controlled
object. In such a case, the time required for auto-tuning to be completed may
be reduced if the proportional band (P constant) is set to 0.0. The E5ZE goes
into ON/OFF operation with oscillations increasing.
• If the optimum PID constants have not been obtained for the controlled object,
set them manually.
• Hunting will occur during auto-tuning. If hunting is undesirable, set the PID
constants manually.
• The HB and HS alarms will not operate for the control point during auto-tuning.
• If the power is turned OFF during auto-tuning, the E5ZE will stop auto-tuning.
• The auto-tuning function will not operate properly if the controlled object (load)
is not connected to the E5ZE.
• The following table shows the relationship between the PID constants and the
set point responses for the temperature being controlled. Refer to this table
when setting PID constants manually.
Excessive value:Overshooting or undershooting
Oscillation:Hunting
The fuzzy control function is used when there is external disturbance, to suppress overshooting or undershooting the temperature being controlled by the
E5ZE and stabilize the set point within a short period.
• The fuzzy constants are automatically adjusted when the PID constants are
changed.
• If automatic adjustment of fuzzy constants is unsatisfactory, adjust them
manually referring to the following table.
The manual reset function is used to correct a constant offset from the set point
after a stable condition is obtained when using P or PD control.
• When an offset occurs, change the manual reset value as shown in the following graph.
• The setting range is between 0.0% and 100.0%. The default is 50%.

Leads connected to CT terminal
Heater burnout is detected using the following method.
1, 2, 3...1. Connect the Current Transformer (CT) for the control point to the corre-
sponding terminal on the CT input terminal block, and pass the power cable
through the hole in the CT.
2. When current flows through the heater power lines, an AC current corresponding to the amount of current flow is generated in the CT. The heater
burnout detection function measures the generated AC current and obtains
the amount of current flowing to the heater.
3. When the heater burns out, the current decreases, and after comparing the
current with the specified heater burnout detection current value, the HB
alarm output will turn ON and the HB indicator will light.

Section 3-10
• Set the control points for which HB alarms will be enabled. The factory setting
is for the HB alarm to be disabled for all control points. The HB alarm is set by
executing the HB Alarm/HS Alarm Effective Control Point Setting (WU) command. If DeviceNet communications are being used, set the HB alarm with
FINS messages.
• Set the heater burnout detection current value. The setting range is between
0.0 and 50.0 A.
• If the HB alarm is set to 0.0, it will always be OFF, and if it is set to 50.0, it will
always be ON. The default is 0.0 (always OFF).
• To check the CT current, read the values for the heater current and SSR leakage current.
• If the HB alarm is output, it will turn OFF again once the heater current increases to a value greater than or equal to the heater burnout detection current.
• For direct operation, set the heater current to 50 A max. for each control point.
If the heater current exceeds 50 A, heater burnout cannot be detected.
• Turn ON the heater power either at the same time as or before turning ON the
power to the E5ZE. The HB alarm output will turn ON if the power to the E5ZE is
turned ON before turning ON the heater power.
• Temperature control will continue even when the HB alarm turns ON. (The
E5ZE will attempt to control the temperature for the heater that has burnt out.)
• The heater burnout detection function operates when the control output is continuously ON for more than 100 ms.
• If the heater’s rated current does not match the actual current flowing through
the heater, check the actual current being applied by reading the values for the
heater current and the SSR leakage current.
• If the difference between normal heater current and heater burnout current is
small, the detection function will not operate properly. For reliable detection,
use a heater that will give a current difference of at least 1.0 A for heaters that
are less than 10.0 A, and at least 2.5 A for heaters that are 10.0 A or more.
• The heater burnout detection function cannot be used when the heater is being
controlled by phase control or cycle control, or if a 3-phase heater is being
used.
• The heater burnout detection delay is 10 control periods max.
• The HB alarm will not operate for a control point during auto-tuning.
Use the K2CU-FA-GS Heater Burnout Alarm Unit, which has gate input
terminals, to detect heater burnout when using 3-phase heaters. (Refer to the
relevant datasheets for further details.)
Heater Burnout Detection
Current Value Calculation
Calculate the set value for the heater burnout detection current using the following formula.
Heater burnout detection current set value =
• If more than two heaters are passed through the CT, set the heater burnout
detection current to that for the heater with the smaller heater burnout detection current value. (If the heater burnout detection current is the same for all
heaters, set the value to the heater burnout detection current for one heater.)
• Heater burnout will be detected under the following conditions.
If heater current consumption is less than 10.0 A:
Normal heater current – Heater burnout current 1 A
Heater burnout may not be detected if the difference is less than 1 A.
Normal heater current + Heater burnout current

3-11SSR Failure Detection
The Current Transformer (CT) can be used to measure SSR leakage current
and detect output short circuits. If an error is detected at any of the control points,
the HS alarm output will turn ON and the HS indicator will light. The CT can also
detect contact weld in relay.
Operating Conditions
• Set the control point for which the HS alarm is to be used. The factory setting is
for the HS alarm to be disabled for all control points. The HS alarm is set by
executing the HB Alarm/HS Alarm Effective Control Point Setting (WU) command. If DeviceNet communications are being used, set the HS alarm with
FINS messages.
• Set the SSR leakage current value. The setting range is between 0.0 and
50.0 A. The default is 0.5 A.
• To check the CT current value, read the heater current and SSR leakage current.
• The SSR failure detection function operates when the control output is continuously OFF for more than 100 ms.
• The SSR leakage current varies depending on the load voltage. Set the SSR
failure detection current according to the heater power voltage that will actually
be used.
• Turn ON the heater power either at the same time as or before turning ON the
power to the E5ZE. The HS alarm output will turn ON if the power to the E5ZE is
turned ON before turning ON the heater power.

• Temperature control will continue even when the HS alarm turns ON.
• The SSR failure detection function cannot be used when the heater is being
controlled by phase control or cycle control, or if a 3-phase heater is being
used.
• The SSR failure detection delay is 10 control periods max.
• For control points being auto-tuned, the HS alarm will not operate until auto-
tuning is completed.
SSR Failure Detection
Current Value Calculation
If the default preset SSR failure current value (0.5 A) is used, obtain the SSR
failure detection current from the following formula.
SSR failure detection current = Normal SSR leakage current 2
• For example, if the normal SSR leakage current value is 1.0 A, the SSR failure
detection current is as follows:
SSR failure detection current = 1.0 2 = 2.0 A

Manually Setting PID Constants
Refer to the information provided here on the operation of the proportional band (P constant), integral time
(I constant), and derivative time (D constant) when setting the PID constants manually.
Proportional Band (P Constant)
If the proportional band is too wide, overshooting the set point can be suppressed but the startup time will be slow.
If the proportional band is too narrow, the startup time will be quicker but overshooting and hunting for the set point
will result.
An offset from the set point will result in P or PD control operation.
Adjustments
Adjust the width of the proportional band from a large value to a smaller value.
If there is slow temperature hunting, increase the width of the proportional band.

Integral Time (I Constant)
Integral operation is used to gradually eliminate the offset of the temperature that is caused by proportional control.
Do not set the value of the integral time to too small a value in attempt to quickly eliminate the offset of the tempera-
ture. Doing so will result in hunting of the temperature.
Adjustments
Adjust the value of the integral time from a larger value (longer time) to a smaller value (shorter time) to find the
optimum integral time.
If there is slow temperature hunting or the temperature is stabilized after repeated temperature overshooting, the
integral time of the E5ZE is too short.

Appendix CManually Setting PID Constants
Derivative Time (D Constant)
Derivative operation is used to quickly return the temperature to its original value by providing a large output value
even if there is radical external disturbance.
Do not set the derivative time to be too long, otherwise a large temperature output value will continue to be output
and the temperature will not be stabilized. At this time, hunting of the temperature, with a cycle shorter than hunting
caused by incorrect proportional band or integral time values, will result.
Adjustment
Adjust the value of the derivative time from the larger value (longer time) to a smaller value (shorter time) to find the
optimum derivative time.
If there is hunting of the temperature with a short cycle, the derivative time may be set too long and the temperature
control response may be too fast.

Saving Data
Function
All temperature control data set with the E5ZE using serial communications will be deleted if the E5ZE is turned
OFF without saving the temperature control data.
Execute the Memory Write (WE) command to save temperature control data set with the E5ZE.
Data set using DeviceNet communications will not be deleted even if the power is turned OFF.
Save
Use the following procedure to save the temperature control data set with the E5ZE in the memory.
1, 2, 3...1. Transmit the WE command to the E5ZE.
2. After transmitting the WE command, confirm that the response transmitted
from the E5ZE is normal.
If the E5ZE is turned OFF before the E5ZE completes transmitting the response of the WE command, the temperature control data set with the E5ZE may not be saved and when the power is turned ON again a memory error may
occur.
Confirming Saved Data
Transmit the Status Read (RX) command to read the operating status of the E5ZE. Check the status code of the
response to confirm whether the data has been saved.

Temperature Sensor Input Test
• In this test, if a temperature sensor is correctly connected to a control point, the control output indicator (CH0 to
CH7 or H0 to H7) corresponding to the control point will be lit.
• If the control indicator is not lit, recheck the wiring connecting the E5ZE to the temperature sensor. The cause of
the indicator not lighting may be as follows:
Thermocouple:
A lead of the temperature sensor is disconnected or incorrectly wired.
Platinum resistance thermometer:
A lead of the temperature sensor is disconnected or incorrectly wired or the A and B terminals of the temperature
sensor are short-circuited.
Procedure
1, 2, 3...1. While in hardware test mode, set pins 4 and 8 of the FUNCTION switch to
OFF.
2. Make sure that the MB0 indicator is lit.
3. Set the INPUT selector according to the temperature sensor connected to
the control point.
4. Make sure that the control output indicators corresponding to each of the
control points are lit.
Memory Bank Designation Input Test
If a contact connecting a memory bank designation input is ON, the MB designation input indicator (MB0 to MB2)
corresponding to the contact will be lit. If the MB designation input indicator is not lit, check that the input is wired
correctly.
Procedure
1, 2, 3...1. While in hardware test mode, set pin 8 of the FUNCTION switch to ON.
2. Turn ON or OFF the contact corresponding to the memory bank designation

3. Make sure that the MB designation input indicator corresponding to the contact that is ON is lit.
Control Output and Alarm Output Test
In this test, a control output or alarm output is turned ON (100% output) and the indicator for the output will light.
Depending on the wiring, an output may be unintentionally produced for the wrong control point. Make sure that
any output that is ON will not affect the object being controlled when performing this test.

Procedure
UNIT Selector
Appendix EHardware Test
1, 2, 3...1. While in hardware test mode, set the UNIT or INPUT selector of the E5ZE so
that the control output or alarm output will be ON. The relationship between
the selectors and the outputs is shown in the following tables.
Note Outputs will not turn ON if an E5ZE-8 Standard Model is be-
ing used.
2. Set pins 3 and 8 of the FUNCTION switch to ON.

Appendix EHardware Test
3. Check if the output is ON, the MB0 indicator is lit, and the indicator corresponding to the output is lit. (The control output indicator is lit even if the
E5ZE is a Current Output Model.)
4. To change the output to be turned ON, set with the UNIT or INPUT selector
after setting pins 3 and 8 of the FUNCTION switch to OFF.
Current Transformer (CT) Input Test
The CT input test can be performed when a model with heater burnout detection and SSR failure detection is being
used.
The carry current and leakage current of a control point that is measured using CT input are displayed as bar
graphs by using the E5ZE indicators.
The carry current is the CT input measurement when the control output is turned ON. The leakage current is the CT
input measurement when the control output is turned OFF.
If the leakage current bar graph is displayed, and the current bar graph indicates a value very different from the
heater’s rated value, check the selector, switch settings and the wiring.
Procedure
1, 2, 3...1. While in hardware test mode, set the control point to be measured and the
type of current with the UNIT selector.

Communications Test
The communications test can be performed when an RS-232C Communications Model or RS-422/RS-485 Communications Model is being used.
The E5ZE can transmit and receive data to check its communications circuit by self-diagnosis (loop-back test).
The E5ZE transmits the following character string repeatedly for the communications test. “_” represents a space
and “[CR]” represents a carriage return.

Procedure
1, 2, 3...1. While in hardware test mode, set pin 8 of the FUNCTION switch to ON.
2. Short-circuit the sen d data and receive data at the E5ZE when RS-232C or
RS-422 communications are being used, as follows:

3. Make sure that the SD or RD indicator is lit. The following indicate a communications error:
• The SD and RD indicators are not lit.
• The ERR indicator is lit.
If MB0, MB1, or MB2 is lit, this does not indicate an error.

Phase Control
Phase control is possible when a Current Control Model is used in combination with the G3PX Power Controller.
Phase control will enable highly-precise temperature control and prolongs the life of the heaters connected to the
E5ZE.
Cycle Control
Cycle control is possible when a Current Control Model is used in combination with the G32A-EA Cycle Control
Unit and a G3PA or G3NH SSR.
Cycle control will enable high-speed response with minimal noise generation.
The relationship between the output values and current output values of the Current Output Model are as follows:

Current Output Unit can be used with the E5ZE. The
E53-E8Q Voltage Output Unit and the E53-E8C Current Output Unit are sold separately.
2. The heater burnout and SSR failure detection function
of the E5ZE will be invalid if the heating side control output of the E5ZE is current output.
3. The E54-E8CT CT Input Unit is required for the heater
burnout and SSR failure detection. The E54-E8CT CT
Input Unit is sold separately.
4. The E53-E01 Communications Unit for RS-232C communication or the E53-E04 Communications Unit for
RS-422 and RS-485 communication can be used with
the E5ZE. The E53-E01 Communications Unit and the
E53-E04 Communications Unit are sold separately .
