Introduction
The ConsoliDator+ is a multivariable controller that is both easy to use and satisfies a wide variety of process display, alarm, and control applications. It accepts 4-20 mA inputs, flow meter pulse inputs, digital inputs, and Modbus inputs and displays them in both numeric and bargraph format on a large, 5.7" color display. It can be equipped with multiple relays with user-definable actions, 4-20 mA outputs, digital outputs, Modbus RTU & ASCII, Modbus Enron, and Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP protocol communication. Additionally, the controller is equipped with up to 30 timers that can be used to control many processes or events.
Two standard new features have been added to the version 2.300 release:
•
Auto-Tune PID Control
•
Digital Switches (HOA)
The ConsoliDator+ takes full advantage of its color display by allowing the user to customize screen colors for bargraphs, alarm conditions, and input channels.
All this functionality is easily programmed using the free software or via the front panel pushbuttons. Choose the model that best suits your application, from monitoring only to fully loaded controllers with an extensive combination of inputs, outputs, and communication protocols. The standard product offering is listed in the ordering guide and other models are available for special order. The Add-On features expand the functionality of the ConsoliDator+, see the next page for details. The ConsoliDator+ has been Certified by Underwriters Laboratory (UL & C-UL) for use in ordinary locations (electrical safety) and in Div 2 hazardous area locations (nonincendive).

Inputs are wired between terminals 1-5 of the digital input connector and the G terminal of the 2-position connector above the digital inputs. Normally open switch contacts can be used as shown in Figure 12. The diagram also shows a Digital Input using an NPN open collector transistor output from a live signal. Logic LO or switch closure appearing across the terminals is interpreted as ON. When using an open collector transistor, a logic HI at the base (marked “B” in Figure 12) will be interpreted as ON. The 2-position connector has a +5 V terminal that can be used to provide excitation to some sensors requiring more than the pull-up provided on each digital input terminal.

Switching Inductive Loads
The ConsoliDator+ has internal circuitry to protect the relays from inductive loads, however, the use of external suppressors (snubbers) is strongly recommended when switching inductive loads to prevent disrupting the
microprocessor’s operation. The suppressors also prolong
the life of the relay contacts. Suppression can be obtained with resistor-capacitor (RC) networks assembled by the user or purchased as complete assemblies. Refer to the following circuits for RC network assembly and installation.
Note: Because of the built-in RC network, there is the potential for leakage current when driving low power devices such as LEDs or piezoelectric alarms. It is recommended to use external relays to drive the low power devices or request a modification to the relay card from the factory.
Figure 19. AC and DC Internal Inductive Loads
Protection
For additional external protection choose R and C as follows:
R: 0.5 to 1 for each volt across the contacts C: 0.5 to 1 µF for each amp through closed contacts
Notes:
1. Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC.
2. RC networks may affect load release time of solenoid loads. Check to confirm proper operation.
3. Install the RC network at the instrument's relay screw terminals. An RC network may also be installed across the load. Experiment for best results.

Serial Communication Connections
The RS-485 port for serial communication (using Modbus protocol) has three terminals labeled D+, D-, and G. It is strongly recommended to use three-wire shielded cable and to always connect the ground terminal to the other equipment’s ground to avoid differential voltage between the systems. Distances up to 4000 feet can be reached with RS-485. Up to 32 Modbus devices can be connected to a single RS-485 bus.

Open Channel Flow Application
The ConsoliDator+, in combination with a level transmitter, makes for a practical way to measure and display open channel flow rate and total in most weirs and flumes and take periodic samples. There are two ways the user can program the ConsoliDator+ for open channel flow applications:
Programmable Exponent: In this method, all the user needs to do is enter the exponent for the weir or flume into the ConsoliDator+ and the controller automatically raises the input signal to that power. For instance, to display open channel flow rate and total from a 3-inch Parshall flume and take a one pint sample every 100,000 gallons, the user would program the ConsoliDator+ as shown in the upper table on the right.
Specific Weir or Flume Function: In this method, the user selects one of the following functions to be applied to the input from a menu in the ConsoliDator+: Parshall Flumes, V-Notch Weirs, Cipolletti Weirs, Rectangular Weirs with or without Contractions. The second table on the right shows the parameters the user then enters.
In addition, a total can set up as non-resettable, and a relay can be programmed to take a sample at user-defined intervals.

Scale Multi-Point
The Scale Multi-Point function is used to linearize the signal from sensors with non-linear output or sensors used to measure volume in odd-shape vessels, where a 2-point scale cannot be used to get accurate readings. Another application for multi-point scaling is in open channel flow using weirs and flumes with flow equations not covered by the functions provided in the controller.
• Create a channel
• Function: Scale Multi-Point
• Input: Select the input sensor
• Units: Select engineering units
• Decimals: Number of decimals to display
• Scale: Insert the input and output values
• Cutoff: Select and enter the cutoff value
The controller can be configured with up to 50 linearization points. The use of the ConsoliDator+ software is highly recommended for entering the linearization points.

Open Channel Flow
The built-in math formulas in the ConsoliDator+ makes the setup of open channel flow applications an easy task. All you need to know is the type of device being used and the formula for calculating the flow rate using the head height.
The first thing to do is to create a channel for measuring the head height of the weir or flume. This example shows the setup for a 3" Parshall Flume with a maximum head height of 3 feet.
Scale the 4-20 mA input
Select the type of weir or flume installed
Enter the constant K (for Q = cuFt/sec), the channel used for measuring the head height and the specified exponent. Select the flow rate units. The Controller calculates the flow rate in the specified engineering units. The units can be changed at any time without making any other changes.

Page 73
PD9000 ConsoliDator+ Multivariable Controller
Instruction Manual
73
Setup Totalizers
The totalizers are setup the same way as the channels. The rate from an analog or pulse input channel is integrated over the specified time unit to generate an accumulated total that can be configured to count up or count down. Each total can be configured as “non-
resettable”*, which means the total reset functions are
not available for it. The pulse inputs can be either integrated from a rate
channel or they can be directly totalized based on the pulse count and K-Factor value; this is the most accurate method because every pulse is counted.
*Note: The non-resettable function can be disabled by the user
at any time, after unlocking a password-protected controller.
Setup Total with Rate Source
Select the rate input channel for the total and press Ok.
Select total units, count up or down, enter preset and roll-over values, and select non-resettable if required.
After pressing Save, press Yes to reset the total to the preset value.
Setup Total with Pulse Input Source
Pulse inputs can be totalized directly without the need to create a rate channel.
Select the units and enter the K-Factor provided by the flow meter manufacturer.

Setup Accumulated Total (Triggered)
Selecting a total as the input for a new total enables the Mode menu: Totalizer, Previous Total, Daily Total, and Grand Total selections.
The Totalizer mode can be used to add the input total to the new total, when a trigger is activated. The trigger can be a digital input, a Modbus input, or any event selected.
Setup Previous Total
The previous total is saved just before the input total is reset. The date & time when the total was reset is saved.
Multiple previous totals can be saved by using a previous total as the input for a new total. Link previous totals to maintain a history of total resets.
Setup Daily Total
The daily total is automatically reset every day at midnight.
The daily total can be the input to a previous total to saved the previous day total. Link previous daily totals to maintain a history of daily totals.

Setup Inputs
The Setup Inputs screen is used to configure the hardware inputs, assigning a user-defined tag, and setting the filter values.
Setup 4-20 mA Inputs
This screen gives you a quick view of the mA inputs connected, the slot # and position, and the actual mA input value.
Press the Right Arrow key to set up the selected input.
The top line, for each input, shows the slot # and input location (2b = slot #2, second input from the left). It also shows the actual current input.
The next line shows the input type and # (AI-2) with the default tag, which can be changed at any time.
• Filter*: Select window average time or IIR time.
• Filter Bypass: If the signal change is greater than
the bypass value, the reading jumps to the actual value. The bypass value is in % of full scale.
• Glitch Filter: Eliminates short duration noise spikes.
• Break Below: Set the mA value at which a break is reported to the system.
• Disable Input Channel: This turns off the power to the input, but the settings are saved for future use. This should only be used to save power on unused inputs.
*Need more filtering? If you need a more stable reading, select IIR 16 sec or IIR 32 sec setting. IIR: Infinite Impulse Response
• The Filter selection depends on the stability of the
input and the desired stability of the display. The larger the selected filter setting, the slower the display response is.
Page 87
PD9000 ConsoliDator+ Multivariable Controller

Filter Settings
Most of the applications should work fine with the default filter setting.
There are two types of filters available:
• Window Average: This filter is based on time; samples are averaged within the selected time window; older samples are discarded to make room for new samples.
• IIR (Infinite Impulse Response): This filter is a first order type, and it is equivalent to an analog RC filter. The time constant of the filter is roughly
what defines the “delay” for the filter to reach its
steady state. An IIR filter has a feedback loop from the output which distinguishes it from an FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter, which uses only the input signal.
How to Decide what Filter to Use
The selection of the filter setting has many factors that need consideration; the user should weight the pros and cons of increasing or decreasing the filter setting.
Do you need a steadier reading?
Increase the filter setting
Do you need a faster response?
Reduce the filter setting
Do you need the fastest response possible?
Set the filter to None
In most of the cases, you need to find the balance between a steady reading and the response time.
• The Filter Bypass setting is an excellent feature used to achieve a fast response for larger changes in the input signal and a steadier reading for small changes, below the bypass value.

Setup Pulse Inputs
The top line, for each input, shows the slot # and input location (1a = slot #1, first input from the left). It also shows the actual frequency, state of the input, and the number of pulses received since power up, to a maximum of 8,388,607. The counter rolls over to 0.
The next line shows the input type and # (PI-1) with the default tag, which can be changed at any time.
• Type: Select the pulse input type.
• Low Gate: this is the time window used to
calculate and update the rate.
• High Gate: This is the time window used to calculate slow rates before the rate goes to zero.
• Low Speed: This setting is used as a de-bounce filter for contact closure or switch inputs.
Threshold: Is the voltage level at which a transition from high to low is
detected. For example, the “Active
1.2V Thrshld” setting will detect a
square wave signal when it falls below 1.2 V.
Setup Digital Inputs
The digital inputs can be assigned to perform various user functions, such as trigger alarm, acknowledge alarms, reset total, etc.
Pulse inputs can be used as digital inputs by setting them up according to the type of input they are intended to accept. For example, to accept a contact closure the pulse input must be set up for Reed Switch type input.

Digital Input Functions
A digital input can be used to execute one of the listed functions and at the same time, it can be used to trigger an alarm or to totalize (count) how many times the function has been executed (e.g. Reset Total).
The available functions depend on the I/O cards installed, the Add-On features enabled, and the controller’s configuration.
List of Digital Input Functions
• None: Use digital input (DI) to trigger an
alarm or timer
• Button: Digital input behaves as a front panel
button
• Channel: Tare, Reset Tare, Reset Max,
Reset Min
• Total: Access total functions (Reset, Add To,
…)
• Timer: Access timer functions (Start, Stop,

Pump Alternation Relays
To set up a group of relays for pump alternation control, follow these steps.
1. Select the primary alternating relay
2. Select the input for alternation (e.g. Ch 1)
3. Enable alternation
4. Enable alternate on time and enter time
5. Enter the On & Off alternation points according to the number of relays to alternate
6. Select relay condition when input break is detected*
7. Select fail-safe, if desired (Reverses the relay contacts state: NO closes and NC opens)
8. Enter the On & Off time delays
9. After saving the primary relay configuration, navigate to the next relay and configure it to alternate with the primary relay
Alternation Input Sources
Most level control applications use channels as the input. The channel is setup to read the signal from a level transmitter and display the level either in height or volume units. The continuous level monitoring allows for selecting multiple alternation points.
If the input is other than a channel, the alternation is limited to only one pump on at one time. A level switch could be connected to a digital input and the digital input will alternate the pumps for each on/off cycle.
Set (On) & Reset (Off) Points
Up to eight alternation points can be entered to alternate eight relays per group. The On & Off points determine if pumps are on when the level rises or when it falls.
On & Off Time Delays
To prevent turning pumps off and on at the same time, it’s recommended to use On delays. The On & Off delays are common to all the relays in the alternation group.
Alternation Groups
An alternation group is made up of a primary relay and any number of relays selected to alternate with it.
Multiple alternation groups can set up using different sources for each group. A relay should NOT be assigned to more than one group.
Alternate on Time
This is the maximum time any relay in the group will be continuously on. After the alternation time has elapsed, the relay will turn off and another relay will turn on. This feature is useful for applications where the level is maintained with one pump for a long time. Depending of the setup and conditions, it will help distribute the load among the pumps in the group.
Break
If Relay On is selected, only one of the alternation relays will be on when a break is detected.*
*Note: Break needs to be set in the analog input menu.
Setup the primary alternation relay.
Setup the additional alternation relays.
Select the primary relay to alternate with.
Alternation Sequence
The first relay on is the first relay off, when more than one relay are activated. The lowest reset point (Off) is used for the alternation cycle.
