Product Description 1.1

1.1.1 GENERAL

This instrument is a microprocessor based profiling controller capable of measuring,
displaying, and controlling a process variable from a variety of inputs. Applications
include temperature, pressure, level, flow, and others.

Control functions, alarm settings and other parameters are easily entered via the front
keypad. All user data can be protected from unauthorized changes by the Enable
mode security system, and is protected against loss from AC power failure by battery
back-up.

The process input is user configurable to directly connect to either thermocouple,
RTD, mVDC, VDC, or mADC inputs. depending on the input type specified. Thermo­couple and RTD linearization, as well as thermocouple cold junction compensation, is
performed automatically. The instrument's process input is isolated from the rest of the
instrument.

The instrument can be ordered to operate on either 115VAC or 230VAC power at 50/
60Hz. The instrument is housed in an extruded aluminum enclosure suitable for panel
mounting.

1.1.2 DISPLAYS

Each instrument is provided with a digital display and status indicators as shown in
Figure 1-1. The digital display is programmable to display the process value only,
process and setpoint, deviation from setpoint only, deviation and setpoint, or setpoint
continuously.

Status indication is provided for Alarm , Output 1, Output 2, degree C, degree F,
engineering units, Manual operation, Segment 1 thru 6, Ramp, and Soak.

Display resolution is programmable for 0.1 or 1 degree for thermocouple and RTD
inputs, and 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, or 1 unit for volt, mV input types.

PAGE 6

1.1.3 CONTROL

Instruments can be programmed for On-Off, Time Proportioning, Current Proportioning, or
Position Proportioning control implementations. Selectable direct or reverse control action is
also provided. Proportional control implementations are provided with fully programmable PID
parameters.

Automatic to Manual switching is easily accomplished via the Standby mode . Switching is
bumpless, and while in manual, manipulation of proportional outputs is possible.

Other standard control features include control output limits, setpoint limits, anti-reset windup
control, and a unique Automatic Transfer function, which, if configured, allows manual control
of the process until setpoint is reached, at which time the unit will automatically transfer from
manual to automatic control.

Remote Run-Hold capability can be provided via the Auxiliary Input.

1.1.4 PROGRAMMABLE SETPOINT PROFILES

Up to eight profiles can be programmed on any of these Profile Controllers. Each of the
eight profiles can contain up to six segments. Each segment contains a ramp and a soak
operation. Profiles can be programmed to run continuously or any number of times up to

9999. A combination of profiles may be combined for back to back execution. This has the
affect of acting as a single profile of more than six segments.

Assured Soak is provided with the use of two programmable parameters that will activate an
Auto/Hold feature. This feature will place a running profile in the Hold condition and prohibit a
Soak operation from starting or completing if an acceptable process value is not reached and
then maintained.

Event outputs may also be provided. Up to three events may be assigned and can be turned
on or off at the beginning of each ramp and soak.

1.1.5 ALARMS

Alarm settings are fully programmable. Alarm type may be set as Process direct or reverse
(High or Low), Deviation direct or reverse (above or below setpoint), or Deviation Band type
(closed or open within band).

Alarm outputs can be provided by assigning any specified relays (SPST or SSR driver) to the
respective alarm.

1.1.6 DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS

The instrument can be provided with an RS-422/485 communications port which allows
bi-directional multidrop communications with a supervisory computer.

Installation and Wiring 2.1

Read these instructions carefully before proceeding with installation and operation. Electrical
code requirements and safety standards should be observed. Installation should be
performed by qualified personnel.

CAUTION: The Instrument AC power input is specified in the model number and on the wiring label for either 115VAC or
230VAC. Verfiy the AC power input required by the instrument prior to proceeding with installation.

Unpacking 2.2

Remove the instrument from the carton and inspect it for any damage due to shipment. If any
damage is noticed due to transit, report and file a claim with the carrier. Write the model
number and serial number of the instrument on the front cover of this Operation Manual for
future reference when corresponding with the factory.

Location 2.3

Locate the instrument away from excessive moisture, oil, dust, and vibration. Do not subject
the instrument to operating temperatures outside of 0 to 55˚ C (32° to 131° F).

PAGE 7

Mounting 2.4

Figure 2-1 (page 8) shows installation view and physical dimensions for the panel mounted
instrument.

The electronics can be removed from the housing for installation, if so desired. To remove,
loosen the locking screw centered on the bottom face of the unit. The instrument pulls
straight out. When installing, be sure that the verically mounted circuit boards are inserted in
the correct grooves in the top and bottom of the housing. Also make sure the screw lock is
sufficiently tight. When installing multiple instruments, be sure to reinsert the proper
instrument into its correct enclosure by matching the serial number with the number inside the
housing. This will insure that the accuracy of the control will be within the published
specifications. The ambient compensator on the rear of the enclosure is calibrated to the
electronics at the factory.

Cut the panel cutout to the dimensions shown in Figure 2-1 (page 8). Insert the instrument
housing into the panel cutout and install the mounting bracket. Place the mounting screws on
the back of the housing and tighten until the instrument is rigidly mounted. Do not
overtighten.

A surface mounting kit is available - part number 64405801. For installation of the instrument
in areas subjected to washdowns, a water tight cover option is available (part # 64417801).

Preparation for Wiring 2.5

2.5.1 WIRING GUIDELINES

Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The following are
guidelines that must be followed to minimize the effect of noise upon any instrumentation.

2.5.1.1 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the industrial
environment:

• Ignition Transformers

• Arc Welders

• Mechanical contact relay(s)

• Solenoids
Before using any instrument near the devices listed, the instructions below should be

followed:

1. If the instrument is to be mounted in the same panel as any of the listed devices, separate
them by the largest distance possible. For maximum electrical noise reduction, the noise
generating devices should be mounted in a separate enclosure.

2. If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relay(s) and replace with solid state relays. If a
mechanical relay being powered by an instrument output device cannot be replaced, a
solid state relay can be used to isolate the instrument.

3. A separate isolation transformer to feed only instrumentation should be considered. The
transformer can isolate the instrument from noise found on the AC power input.

4. If the instrument is being installed on existing equipment, the wiring in the area should be
checked to insure that good wiring practicies have been followed.

2.5.1.2 AC POWER WIRING

Earth Ground
The instrument includes noise suppression components that require an earth ground connec­tion to function. To verify that a good earth ground is being attached, make a resistance
check from the instrument chassis to the nearest metal water pipe or proven earth ground.
This reading should not exceed 100 ohms.

Neutral (For 115VAC)
It is good practice to assure that the AC neutral is at or near ground potential. To verify this, a
voltmeter check between neutral and ground should be done. On the AC range, the reading
should not be more than 50 millivolts. If it is greater than this amount, the secondary of this
AC transformer supplying the instrument should be checked by an electrician. A proper
neutral will help ensure maximum performance from the instrument.

PAGE 9

2.5.1.3 WIRE ISOLATION

Four voltage levels of input and output wiring may be used with the unit:
* Analog input or output (i.e. thermocouple, RTD, VDC, mVDC or mADC)
* SPST Relays
* SSR driver outputs
* AC power

The only wires that should be run together are those of the same category. If they need to
be run parallel with any of the other lines, maintain a minimum 6 inch space between the
wires. If wires must cross each other, do so at 90 degrees. This will minimize the contact with
each other and reduces "cross talk".

emitted by a wire as current passes through it. This EMF can be picked up by other wires
running in the same bundle or conduit.

In applications where a High Voltage Transformer is used, (i.e. ignition systems) the secon­dary of the transformer should be isolated from all other cables.

This instrument has been designed to operate in noisy environments, however, in some cases
even with proper wiring it may be necessary to suppress the noise at its source.

2.5.1.4 USE OF SHIELDED CABLE

Shielded cable helps eliminate electrical noise being induced on the wires. All analog signals
should be run with shielded cable. Connection lead length should be kept as short as
possible, keeping the wires protected by the shielding. The shield should be grounded at one
end only. The preferred grounding location is at the sensor, transmitter or transducer.

"Cross talk" is due to the EMF (Electro Magnetic Flux)

PAGE 10

2.5.1.5 NOISE SUPPRESSION AT THE SOURCE

Usually when good wiring practices are followed, no further noise protection is necessary.
Sometimes in severe electrical environments, the amount of noise is so great that it has to be
suppressed at the source. Many manufacturers of relays, contactors, etc. supply "surge
suppressors" which mount on the noise source.

For those devices thta do not have surge suppressors supplied, RC (resistance-capacitance)
networks and/or MOV (metal oxide varistors) may be added.

Inductive Coils - MOV's are recommended for transient suppression in inductive coils con­nected in parallel and as close as possible to the coil. See Figure 2-2. Additional protection
may be provided by adding an RC network across the MOV.

Contacts - Arcing may occur across contacts when the contact opens and closes. This results
in electrical noise as well as damage to the contacts. Connecting a RC network properly
sized can eliminate this arc.

For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm resistor and 0.1 microfarad capacitor
(1000 volts) is recommended. For circuits from 3 to 5 amps, connect 2 of these in parallel.
See Figure 2-3.

2.5.2 SENSOR PLACEMENT (Thermocouple or RTD)

If the temperature probe is to be sufnected to corrosive or abrasive conditions, it should be
protected by the appropriate thermowell. The probe should be positioned to reflect true
process temperature:

In liquid media - the most agitated area.

In air - the best circulated area.

THERMOCOUPLE LEAD RESISTANCE

Thermocouple lead length can affect instrument accuracy since the size (gauge) and the
length of the wire affect lead resistance.

To determine the temperature error resulting from the lead length resistance, use the follow­ing equation:

Terr = TLe * L where; TLe = value from appropriate table below

L = length of leadwire in thousands of feet

Example:
An MIC is to be located in a control room 660 feet away from the process. Using 16 AWG,
type J thermocouple, how much error is induced?

Terr = TLe * L

TLe = 2.47 (°F/1000 ft) from Table 2
Terr = 2.47 (°F/1000 ft) * 660 ft
Terr = 1.6 °F

PAGE 12

RTD LEAD RESISTANCE

RTD lead length can affect instrument accuracy, since the size (gauge) and length of the wire
affect lead resistance.

To determine the temperature error resulting from the lead length resistance, use the following
equation:

Terr = TLe * L where; TLe = value from Table 3 if 3 wire RTD or Table 4 if 2 wire RTD

L = length of lead wire in thousands of feet

TABLE 3 - 3 Wire RTD
AWG No. Error °C Error °F

10 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.07
12 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.11
14 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.18
16 +/- 0.16 +/- 0.29
18 +/- 0.26 +/- 0.46
20 +/- 0.41 +/- 0.73
24 +/- 0.65 +/- 1.17

TABLE 4 - 2 Wire RTD
AWG No. Error °C Error °F

10 +/- 5.32 +/- 9.31
12 +/- 9.31 +/- 14.6
14 +/- 13.3 +/- 23.9
16 +/- 21.3 +/- 38.6
18 +/- 34.6 +/- 61.2
20 +/- 54.5 +/- 97.1
24 +/- 86.5 +/- 155.6

Example:
An application uses 2000 feet of 18 AWG copper lead wire for a 3 wire RTD sensor. What is
the worst case error due to this leadwire length?

Terr = TLe * L

TLe = +/- .46 (°F/1000 ft) from Table 3
Terr = +/- .46 (°F/1000 ft) * 2000 ft
Terr = +/- 0.92°F

Wiring Connections 2.6

All wiring connections are typically made to the instrument with it installed. Terminal connec­tions should be made via the rear panel with 14 gauge wire maximum (see Figure 2-4).

Configuration 3.1

After completing installation of the unit, the configuration procedures contained within
this section must be performed to prepare the instrument for operation on the intended
application. The procedures include selecting specific parameters, entering data and
possible jumper positioning.

Parameter selections and data entry are made via the front keypad. To ease
configuration and operation, user entered data has been divided up into several
modes. Each mode contains a different type of data or may be used for specific
operating functions. These modes are as follows:

(Continued on next page)

PAGE 22

Associated with each mode is a series of unique displays which are accessed via the front
keypad.

Prior to first time operation of the instrument, the configuration procedures for the
Program, Profile Entry and Tune modes must be performed as applicable. The Control, Off,
Standby, Profile Continue and Profile execution (P1 thru P8) modes are discussed in Section

4.1 (page 38) of this manual.
Calibration and Test modes are not used as part of instrument configuration or operation.

These are used for service and maintenance functions and are discussed in Section 5.2
(page 47) of this manual.

Shipped Configuration/
Jumper Positioning 3.2

All configuration parameters in each mode are set to default values. These defaults are
shown in tabular form under the description for each mode. Instrument AC power input is as
specified in the instrument model number and as shown on the instrument ratings label.

3.2.1 JUMPER POSITIONING

Jumpers are used in all instruments to provide a security lockout feature and to condition the
process input . All jumpers are typically of the three pin type and have two functions. All
jumpers are either located on the Options Board or the Processor Board. Board layouts
and jumper locations are shown in Appendix A-2 and A-3 (pages 64 and 65 or 66).

Check the actual jumper position in the instrument to be configured and verify the proper
position for the intended application. If the current position is not correct, make changes.

Start up Procedures 3.3

Step by step procedures are provided in Tables 3-1 thru 3-4 . These tables provide the
display sequence, parameter adjustment and factory setting for each step.

The instrument is provided with a "time out" feature. If the instrument is in any mode and no
keypad activity takes place for 30 seconds, the instrument will "time out" and exit the mode
automatically. The instrument will display the code for the respective mode. If a mode code
is displayed for 5 seconds with no activity it will then "time out" and proceed to either the
Control or Off mode, depending upon which operational state the instrument was in last.

3.3.1 POWER UP PROCEDURE

A. Verify that all electrical connections have been properly made before applying power to
the instrument.

If the instrument is being configured for the first time, it may be desirable to
disconnect the controller output connections as the instrument may go into the
Control mode automatically following the power up sequence. Upon verification,
power may be applied.

B. Upon power up, "6XXX" will be displayed (X representing digits), then "XXX-",
identifying the seven digit model number as defined in the order matrix. Next, the
software revision level will be displayed in the format "rX.XX". Then "tSt1", "tSt2", and
"tSt3" will be displayed while Test 1 thru 3 are executed automatically. Upon successful
completion of these tests, "Ctrl" (for the Control mode) or "oFF" (for the Off mode) will
be displayed for about three seconds. During this time the operator may select another
mode prior to the instrument automatically going into the Control mode.

C. If any error messages are displayed, refer to Section 5.4, page 56 for a definition of these
error messages and the required action.

D. If the instrument has been configured or operated previously, the mode that the
instrument will go into upon power up, depends on what mode the instrument was in on
power-down and how it has been programmed.

Front Panel Operation 3.4

3.4.1 DIGITAL DISPLAY AND STATUS LED's

The digital display provided has 4 digits and a decimal point. Each digit has seven segments
and is capable of producing numeric characters from 0-9 and certain alpha characters. The
digital display is used to provide indication of process variable as well as displaying codes
used for configuration and operation of the instrument. The display includes the following
Status Indicator LED's:

Operation Summary 3.5

The configuration and operating modes, the method of moving from one mode to another,
and the basic parameter functions are described in each individual section . Data and
parameter entry is made by stepping through each mode and making an appropriate
response or entry to each step.

3.5.1 MODE SELECTION

If the instrument is in either the Off mode or Control mode, repeated depression of the Scroll
key will cause the instrument to display the code corresponding to each mode which is
enabled and each profile which has been entered. To enter a mode while its code is
displayed, depress the Down key.

To exit the OFF mode, press the SCROLL key until CtrL is displayed, then press the DOWN
key.

Entry into any mode except the Control, Tune, Standby, Enable and Profile execution, will
cause the instrument's outputs to turn off. Access to the Tune mode is provided while the
instrument continues normal operation if in Control or running a Profile.

3.5.2 CONFIGURATION DISPLAYS

During configuration, the display is used to show the parameter codes and values. During
normal operation, these displays are used to indicate process values, setpoints, etc. .
