INTRODUCTION
The PROVU® PD6210 and PD6310 are easy to use batch controllers ideal for
simplifying independent batch control operations where local control is preferred
to expensive and expansive plant operation systems.
The controller comes programmed for easy front panel start, pause, stop, and
batch size (preset) changes. The bottom display can be programmed to display
rate, grand total, batch count, or preset by cycling the Stop (F3) button.
Single and multi-stage batching is possible with up to 4 on-board relays and 4 with
the external relay module. Each batch control relay may have a unique preclose
amount when used for multi-stage batching.
Manual start batching is default, but automatic batching with a restart after a programmed time delay from the completion of the last batch, is also possible.
Overrun correction adjusts the closing of the batch control relays to adjust for
inaccuracies from batch to batch. This increases accuracy over time as systems
wear out.
At least two SPDT relays are included for use in batch control or rate alarms.
The batch controllers also share all common P
ROVU Series features, including an
isolated 24 VDC transmitter power supply and Modbus RTU Serial communications.

Switching Inductive Loads
The use of 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:
C
R
C
R
Figure 15: AC and DC Loads 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.
Page 28
Model PD6210 & PD6310 Batch Controllers Instruction Manual

2. RC networks may affect load release time of solenoid loads. Check
to confirm proper operation.
3. Install the RC network at the controller's relay screw terminals. An
RC network may also be installed across the load. Experiment for
best results.

External Relay & Digital I/O Connections
The relay and the digital I/O expansion modules PDA1004 & PDA1044
are connected to the controller using a CAT5 cable provided with each
module. The two RJ45 connectors on the expansion modules are identical and interchangeable; they are used to connect additional modules
to the system.
Note: The jumper located between the RJ45 connectors of the PDA1044
must be removed on the second digital I/O module in order for the
system to recognize it as module #2.
Warning!
Do not connect or disconnect the expansion modules
with the power on!
More detailed instructions are provided with each optional expansion module.

Interlock Relay Feature
As the name implies, the interlock relay feature reassigns one, or more,
alarm/control relays for use as interlock relay(s). Interlock contact(s) are
wired to digital input(s) and trigger the interlock relay. This feature is
enabled by configuring the relay, and relative digital input(s) (see page
59). In one example, dry interlock contacts are connected in series to
one digital input which will be used to force on (energize) the assigned
interlock power relay when all interlock contacts are closed (safe). The
interlock relay front panel LED flashes when locked out. The interlock
relay would be wired in-series with the load (N/O contact). See below.

BASIC OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING
The PD6210 is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read in milliamps and volts depending on the input selection. The calibration
equipment is certified to NIST standards.
The PD6310 has been factory calibrated to read input frequency
in Hz (pulses/sec). The calibration equipment is certified to NIST
standards.
Overview
There are no jumpers on the PD6210 to set for the controller input selection. There are two switches on the PD6310, located to the right of the
input connector, which must be configured according to the input level
and type. Jumper J4 located inside the controller, behind the input signal
connector, is used to select the excitation voltage (24 V*, 10 V or 5 V)
which is supplied to the P+ and P- wiring terminals.
Setup and programming is done through the front panel buttons.
After power and input signal connections have been completed and veri-
fied, apply power to the controller.

Controller Operation
The PD6210 controller is capable of accepting current (0-20 mA,
4-20 mA) and voltage signals (0-5 V, 1-5 V, 0-10 V,
10 V) and the
PD6310 accepts pulses (e.g. ±40mV to
± 8V), square wave (0-5, 0-12V,
or 0-24V), open collector NPN, PNP, TTL, or switch contact signals.
These signals are scaled to represent rate in engineering units from -
99999 to 999999. The pulse signals may be scaled with a K-factor to
represent a total for the batch, and grand total.
The default configuration displays batch total on the big display, and a
selection of rate, grand total, batch count, and preset on the little display.
When in pause or stop mode, the display will alternate the numeric value
with the run status in the big display and the display label for the little
display.
The controller has up to 4 relays on board (and 4 available with an external expansion module) which are used to either control the batch
process in single or multi-stage batch control, or as alarms that will be
active when the batch process is running. A 4-20 mA output option is
also available for retransmitting the process variable analog or pulse
signal.
Default Batch Control Operation
The following describes the operation of the three front panel operating
keys as programmed with default settings.
START Button
Press the START button to begin a new batch process.
BATCH Button
Press the Batch button to access the Preset (batch amount) menu.

Batch Control Operation Example
The following example shows how two stage batch control functions with
a PD6210 or PD6310. This setup will establish a 55 gallon preset for the
batch, with a main valve (high flow) that will close at 45 gallons, and a
trickle valve (low or restricted flow) that will close at 55 gallons. After the
batch, the preset will be changed to 100 gallons.

Batch Control Operation
1. A new container is prepared for the batch. Both valves are closed.
Note that the big display may show the batch total from the last
batch.
2. The START button is pressed. Both valves open. The barrel begins
to fill as the total being dispensed is displayed in the big window. The
lower window shows the rate and units, alternating.
3. When the batch total reaches 60 gallons, the preset (55) minus the
preclose amount (5) for relay 2, relay 2 deactivates to close the main
valve. The barrel fills more slowly as a result, improving accuracy.
4. When the batch total equals the preset, relay 1 deactivates, closing
valve 1. Filling stops.
5. The BATCH button is pressed, and a new preset is entered, 100
gallons, and the enter/STOP button is pressed to confirm it.
6. The new batch begins when the START button is pressed, so both
relays activate and both valves open.
Additional Features
At any time during the batch, the STOP button may be pressed to pause
the batch. When paused, the START button will continue the batch, and
pressing the STOP button again will cancel the batch.
When in STOP mode, the STOP button may be pressed to cycle through
alternative parameters to be displayed on the little display, including the
grand total, batch count, and preset.
The grand total and batch count may be reset in the
reset menu by
pressing the MENU button and entering the reset menu. It may also be
reset with digital inputs.

Scaling and Calibration
It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding
to program the controller:
There is no need to recalibrate the controller when first received
from the factory.
All inputs are factory calibrated. The calibration equipment used is
certified to NIST standards.
Use the Scale menu to enter the scaling without a signal source.
Use the Calibrate menu to apply a signal from a calibrator or a
flowmeter for the scaling.
Note: The Scale and Calibrate functions are exclusive of each oth-
er. The controller uses the last function programmed. Only one of
these methods can be employed at a time. The
Scale and Calibrate
functions can use up to 32 points (default is 2). The number of
points should be set in the
Advanced menu under the Multi-Point Li-
nearization (
Linear) menu selection prior to scaling or calibration of
the controller, see page 79 for details.
Page 45

Setting the Input Signal (input)
PD6210: Enter the Input menu to set up the controller to display current
(
mA) or voltage (volt) inputs.
The current input is capable of accepting any signal from 0 to 20 mA.
Select current input to accept 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA signals.
The voltage input is capable of accepting any signal from -10 to +10 VDC.
Select voltage input to accept 0-5, 1-5, 0-10, or
10 VDC signals.
PD6310: There are two switches, located to the right of the input con-
nector, which must be configured according to the input level and type.
Jumper J4 located inside the controller, behind the input signal connector, is used to select the excitation voltage (24 V*, 10 V or 5 V) which is
supplied to the P+ and P- wiring terminals.
The controller may be calibrated using the
K-Factor function. Most flow-
meter manufacturers provide this information with the device. Enter the
K-Factor (Factor) menu and select the decimal point with highest reso-
lution possible and program the K-factor value (
i.e. pulses/gal). The con-
troller will automatically calculate the flow rate using the K-factor and the
time base selected.
*
Default setting
Setting the Totalizer and Batching Features (total)
After the input type is entered, set the total parameter to “Yes” to enable batch control (this is set by default). If the
total features are dis-
abled, all the batching features and functions are hidden from the menus.
Setting the Decimal Point (dEc pt)
The decimal point may be set with up to five decimal places or with no
decimal point at all. The rate, total, and grand total decimal points are
independent.
Pressing the Right arrow moves the decimal point one place to the right
until no decimal point is displayed then it moves to the leftmost position.

Programming the Rate/Totalizer (prog)
It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding
to program the controller:
PD6210
:
The PD6210 is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read in mil-
liamps and volts depending on the input selection. The calibration
equipment is certified to NIST standards.
Use the Scale menu to scale process inputs (e.g. 4-20 mA). A cali-
brated signal source is not needed to scale the controller.
PD6310
The PD6310 has been factory calibrated to read input frequency in
Hz (pulses/sec). The calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
Use the K-Factor menu to match the rate/totalizer with a flowmeter’s
k-factor (pulse/unit of measure).
Or use the Scale menu to scale the pulse input (pulse/sec) without a
signal source.
Or use Cal menu to calibrate the rate/totalizer using a signal source.
The
Program menu contains the following menus:
1. Scale without a signal source
2. Calibrate with a calibrated signal source
3. Total time base & conversion factor
4. Grand total time base & conversion factor
5. Total reset mode for total & grand total
The process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any display value
within the range of the controller.

Error Message (Error)
An error message indicates that the calibration or scaling process was not
successful.
After the error message is displayed, the controller reverts to input 2
during calibration or scaling and to input 1 during internal calibration,
allowing the appropriate input signal to be applied or programmed.
The error message might be caused by any of the following conditions:
1. Input signal is not connected to the proper terminals or it is connected
backwards.
2. Wrong signal selection in
Setup menu.
3. Minimum input span requirements not maintained.
4. Input 1 signal inadvertently applied to calibrate input 2.
Minimum Input Span
The minimum input span is the minimum difference between input 1 and 2
signals required to complete the calibration or scaling of the controller.

Time Base, Total Conversion Factor & Total Reset
The time base, total conversion factor, and total reset menus are located
in the
Program menu.
The total and grand total have their own independent settings. This
means that one can be displaying the value in gallons while the other
displays in million gallons, liters, m
3
, etc.
Batch Start Mode (mode)
The batch controller may operate in manual or automatic mode. In manual mode, the controller operates as defined in Controller Operation as
described on page 33. In automatic mode, the batch process will automatically begin after a completed batch. The time delay for the restart
may be 0.1 to 999.9 seconds (
t dly). Automatic batch start will only
occur after a successful batch. A manually stopped batch will require a
manual start to begin a new batch process.
Grand Total Reset
The grand total can be programmed for manual or automatic reset. In the
automatic reset mode, a programmable time delay is available to reset
the grand total after the assigned preset is reached.
Non-Resettable Totalizer
The total and grand total can be password-protected to prevent unauthorized resets. The grand total can be programmed as a non-resettable
total, see page 67 for details.

Calibrating the Controller with External Source (Cal)
To scale the controller without a signal source refer to Scaling the
Controller (
SCALE) page 47.
The controller can be calibrated to display the process variable in engineering units by applying the appropriate input signal and following the
calibration procedure.
The use of a calibrated signal source is strongly recommended to calibrate the controller.

Setting the Relay Action
Operation of the relays is programmed in the Action menu. The relays
are commonly set up for any of the following modes of operation:
1. Always set to Auto for Batch control operation. Also for automatic
reset (non-latching) of alarms.
2. Sampling (the relay is activated for a user-specified time)
3. Off (relay state controlled by Interlock feature)
In addition, the following relay actions may be programmed. These actions are not appropriate for batch control applications, but may be used
then the controller is in other applications.
4. Automatic + manual reset when not in a batch process (non-
latching)
5. Latching (manual reset only, when not in a batch process)
6. Latching with Clear (manual reset only when not in a batch process
after alarm condition has cleared)
7. Pump alternation control (automatic reset only, for level applications,
unrelated to batch control.)
Setting Batch Control Relays
Operation of batch control relays are programmed in the Action menu by
selecting
total as the action. Relays set to total beyond the first will
include a preclose parameter (
precls) option. Selecting yes for precls
will enable multi-stage batching with preclose, and the valve will close
prior to the end of the batch at volume equal to the preset value minus
the preclose amount entered. Selecting
no for precls will have the relay
perform as normal, independent of the first batch control relay set to
to-
tal
.

Programming Alarm Set and Reset Points
High alarm indication: program set point above reset point.
Low alarm indication: program set point below reset point.
The deadband is determined by the difference between set and reset
points. Minimum deadband is one display count. If the set and reset
points are programmed with the same value, the relay will reset one
count below the set point.
Note: Changes are not saved until the reset point has been accepted.

Setting Fail-Safe Operation
In fail-safe mode of operation, the relay coil is energized when the process
variable is within safe limits and the relay coil is de-energized when the
alarm condition exists. The fail-safe operation is set independently for each
relay. Select
on to enable or select off to disable fail-safe operation.
Programming Time Delay
The On and Off time delays may be programmed for each relay between
0 and 999.9 seconds. The relays will transfer only after the condition has
been maintained for the corresponding time delay.
The
On time delay is associated with the set point.
The
Off time delay is associated with the reset point.
Relay Action for Loss of 4-20 mA Input (Loop Break)
The loop break feature is associated with the 4-20 mA input. Rate alarm
relays may be programmed to go to one of the following conditions when
the controller detects the loss of the input signal (i.e. < 0.005 mA):
1. Turn
On (Go to alarm condition)
2. Turn
Off (Go to non-alarm condition)
3. Ignore (Process as a low signal condition)
Note: This is not a true loop break condition; if the signal drops below
0.005 mA, it is interpreted as a “loop break” condition.

Relay Operation Details
Overview
The relays of the controller can serve two roles, as batch control relays
for single or multi-stage batching, as rate, or grand total alarm, or as a
sampling relay based on grand total or rate alarm.
These capabilities include front panel alarm status LEDs and 2 or 4 internal relays and/or 4 external relays expansion module.
The relays used for batch control (total) are activated when the batching
process starts, and deactivate when the batch total is reached, minus
any preclose amount programmed for batch (total) relays after the first.
For an example of batch control operation, see Batch Control Operation
Example on page 34.
Typical applications for alarms are low and high flow alarms or grand
total limit alarms. Note that rate alarms are only enabled during a batching process, and deactivate when the processes is stopped.
The relays can also be set for sampling, where the relay will activate for
a specific amount of time after a certain grand total has been reached
(ie: 2 second sample relay activation every 100 gallons batched).
There are three basic ways the relays can be used:
1. Batch Control (Total)
2. High or Low Alarms for Rate or Grand Total
3. Sampling (Based on Grand Total and Sample Time)
Relays Initialization
Batch control (total) relays will activate when the start function is
enabled, such as when the START button is pressed. Rate alarm relays
will enable and initialize to their programmed states when the batch
process is started. Grand total alarm relays will initialize to their programmed state at controller power-up.
Fail-Safe Operation
The following table indicates how alarm relays behave based on the failsafe selection for each relay:
Fail-Safe
Selection
De-Energized State Energized State
Power Failure
NO NC NO NC
Off Open Closed Closed Open
Relays in deenergized state
On Closed Open Open Closed
Relays in energized state
Note: NO = Normally Open, NC = Normally Closed. This refers to the
condition of the relay contacts when the power to the controller is off.
Page 58

Front Panel LEDs
The LEDs on the front panel provide status indication for the following:
LED Status LED Status
1 Alarm 1 5 Alarm 5
2 Alarm 2 6 Alarm 6
3 Alarm 3 7 Alarm 7
4 Alarm 4 8 Alarm 8
The controller is supplied with four alarm points that include front panel
LEDs to indicate alarm conditions. This standard feature is particularly
useful for alarm applications that require visual-only indication. The LEDs
are controlled by the set and reset points programmed by the user.
When the display reaches a set point for a high or low alarm, the corresponding alarm LED will turn on. When the display returns to the reset
point the LED will go off. Note that rate alarms are only enabled during a
batching process, and deactivate when the processes is stopped.
Latching relays, or relays with manual reset, are not recommended when
using this controller for batch control, as the manual reset will not be
acknowledged during a batch process, when the rate alarms are active.
For information on latching and manual reset alarms, see the PD6200
and PD6300 instruction manuals available at www.predig.com.
Automatic Reset (Auto)
Automatic reset only
Condition LED Relay
Normal Off Off
Alarm On On
Ack (No effect) On On
Normal Off Off
In this application, the controller is set up for automatic reset (nonlatching relay). Acknowledging the alarm while it is still present has no
effect on either the LED or the relay. When the alarm finally goes away,
the relay automatically resets and the LED also goes off.
Pump Alternation Control
Pump alternation control is not recommended when using this controller
for batch control, as it is used only in level applications, and not with rate,
total, or batching applications. For information on using pump alternation
control for level, see the PD6200 and PD6300 instruction manuals available at www.predig.com.

Interlock Relay Operation Example
Relays 3 & 4 are configured to energize (their front panel LEDs are off)
when SW1 & SW2 switches (above) are closed. If the contacts to these
digital inputs are opened, the corresponding front panel LEDs flash indicating this condition. The processes being controlled by the interlock
relay will stop, and will re-start only after the interlock relay is reactivated by the digital inputs (switches).

Sample Relay Operation
The sampling function allows the operator to set a set point for a “sampling” relay. This can be done for the rate or the grand total. Each time
the relay reaches the set point, it will close that relay’s contacts for a
programmed period of time
A rate sampling relay will activate for the sample time (
sam t), up to
600.0 seconds, every time the set point rate is reached.
A total sampling relay will activate for the sample time (
sam t), up to
600.0 seconds every time the process has batched the amount pro-
grammed for the set point, and every time this amount has been batched
afterward. (See the diagram below for more details). The utility of this
function can, of course, be expanded beyond sampling and be used
whenever a timed relay output closure is required when the batch total
interval reaches a certain set point.

When the signal crosses the set point, the relay trips and the sample
time starts. After the sample time has elapsed, the relay resets. The
cycle repeats every time the set point is crossed, going up for high
alarms and going down for low alarms.
The sample time can be programmed between 0.1 and 600.0 seconds.
Total Relay Sampling Operation
When the batch total reaches the set point, the relay trips and the sample time starts. After the sample time has elapsed, the relay resets. The
cycle repeats every time the set point value is added to the batch total.

Advanced Setup and Calibration
Multi-Point Calibration & Scaling
The controller is set up at the factory for 2-point linear calibration. The
number of points for multi-point calibration/scaling is set up in the
Ad-
vanced
Features menu. Up to 32 linearization points may be selected.
See page 79 for details.
MeterView® Pro Software
The controller can be programmed and operated using the PC-based
MeterView Pro software available for free download at www.predig.com.
Batches may be started, paused, and stopped, through the monitoring
window of the MeterView Pro software. Preset and preclose values may
be changed, and the total and grand total reset.
Data logging for one controller at the time is available with MeterView
Pro software. More advanced data acquisition may be accomplished by
using any Modbus RTU compliant software.
Page 75
Model PD6210 & PD6310 Batch Controllers Instruction Manual

In order to operate or program the batch controller using a computer, the
controller must be connected using a USB, RS-232, or RS-485 serial
adapter, see Accessories on page 8 for details.
Maximum/Minimum Readings
The max & min readings (peak & valley) reached by the process can be
displayed either continuously or momentary:
1. Display briefly by assigning to the digital inputs in the
User menu.
2. Display continuously by assigning either display to max/min through
the
Display menu.
!
Changing the programming of the F1-F3 function keys will
disable the default batch operation of these keys, and is
not recommended for batch control applications.
Any of the digital inputs can be programmed to reset the max & min
readings.
To display max/min readings continuously:
Assign either display to Max (d Hi), Min (d Lo), or toggle between Max
and Min (
d HL) every 10 seconds.

Total and Grand Total Count Direction (Count)
By default, the batch total and grand total count up during batch
processes.
Count parameter allows this to change. When set to count
down, the batch total will count down from the preset to 0. When set to
count down, the grand total will count down from a set value up to
999,999.
Noise Filter (filter)
The noise filter is available for unusually noisy signals that cause an unstable process variable display. The noise filter averages the input signal
over a certain period. The filter level determines the length of time over
which the signal is averaged. The filter level can be set between 2 and
199. The higher the filter level, the longer the averaging time and so the
longer it takes the display to settle to its final value. Setting the filter level
to zero disables the filter function.
Noise Filter Bypass (bypass)
The noise filter bypass changes the behavior of the controller so that
small variations in the signal are filtered out but large abrupt changes in
the input signal are displayed immediately. The bypass value determines
the minimum amount of signal change to be displayed immediately. All
signal changes smaller than the bypass value are filtered or averaged by
the controller. The noise filter bypass may be set between 0.1 and 99.9%
of full scale.

and analog output programming. The multi-point linearization is part of
the linear function selection.
Signal Conditioning Selection (Functn)
The Function menu is used to select the signal conditioning function applied to the input: linear, square root, or programmable exponent. The
multi-point linearization is part of the linear function selection.
Controllers are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point linearization. The linear function provides a display that is linear with respect
to the input signal.

Square Root Linearization (Square)
The square root function can be used to linearize the signal from a differential pressure transmitter and display flow rate in engineering units.
Programmable Exponent Linearization (Prog E)
The programmable exponent can be used to linearize the signal from
level transmitters in open-channel flow applications using weirs and
flumes.
Multi-Point Linearization (Linear)
Controllers are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point linearization. Up to 32 linearization points can be selected under the linear
function.
The multi-point linearization can be used to linearize the display
for non-linear signals such as those from level transmitters used to
measure volume in odd-shaped tanks or to convert level to flow using
weirs and flumes with complex exponent.

Analog Output Programming (AoutPr)
The Analog Output Programming menu is used to program the behavior
of the 4-20 mA output. The following parameters and functions are programmed in this menu:
1. Source: Source for generating the 4-20 mA output (e.g. PV)
2. Overrange: Analog output value with display in overrange condition
3. Underrange: Analog output value with display in underrange condition
4. Break: Analog output value when loop break is detected
5. Max: Maximum analog output value allowed regardless of input
6. Min: Minimum analog output value allowed regardless of input
7. Calibrate: Calibrate the internal 4-20 mA source reference used to
scale the 4-20 mA output
Analog Output Source
The source for generating the 4-20 mA output may be assigned to the
rate/process variable, total, grand total, maximum or minimum value
reached by the rate/process, or one of the set points, or the Modbus PV
input.

Analog Output Calibration
To perform the analog output calibration it’s recommended to use a milliamp meter with a resolution of at least 0.1 µA to measure the output
current. The values saved internally during this procedure are used for
scaling the 4-20 mA output in the
Setup menu.

PD6210 Only: Internal Source Calibration (ICAL)
Note: The PD6210 is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read in
milliamps and volts depending on the input selection. The calibration
equipment is certified to NIST standards.
The internal source allows the user to scale the controller without applying a signal.
The use of calibrated signal sources is necessary to perform the internal
source calibration of the controller.
Check calibration of the controller at least every 12 months. Each input
must be recalibrated separately.
Notes:
1. If controller is in operation and it is intended to accept only
one input type (e.g. 4-20 mA),
recalibration of other input is not necessary.
2. Allow the controller to warm up for at least 15 minutes before performing the internal source calibration procedure.
The Internal calibration menu is part of the Advanced Features menu.
1. Press and hold the Menu button for three seconds to access the
advanced features of the controller.
2. Press the Up
arrow button to scroll to the Internal calibration menu
(
ICAL) and press Enter.
3. The controller displays either current calibration (C CAL) or voltage
calibration (
v CAL), according to the input setup. Press Enter to start
the calibration process.
Example of Internal Calibration for current input:
4. The controller displays low input current message (C lo). Apply the
low input signal and press Enter. The display flashes for a moment
while the controller is accepting the low input signal.
5. After the display stops flashing, a number is displayed with the leftmost digit brighter than the rest. The bright digit is the active digit
that can be changed by pressing the Up
arrow button. Press the
Right
arrow button to move to the next digit.

6. Set the display value to correspond to the input signal being calibrated, typically 4.000 mA.
7. The display moves to the
high input calibration (C Hi). Apply the
high input signal and press Enter.
8. Set the display for the high input calibration, in the same way as it
was set for the low input calibration, typically 20.000 mA.

Tips:
Low and high input signals can be any valid value within the
range of the controller.
Observe minimum input span requirements between input 1
and input 2.
Low input should be less than high input signal.

Error Message (Error)
An error message indicates that the calibration or scaling process was not
successful.
After the error message is displayed, the controller reverts to input 2 during calibration or scaling and to input 1 during internal calibration, allowing the appropriate input signal to be applied or programmed.
The error message might be caused by any of the following conditions:
1. Input signal is not connected to the proper terminals, or it is connected backwards.
2. Wrong signal selection in
Setup menu.
3. Minimum input span requirements not maintained.
Minimum Input Span
The minimum input span is the minimum difference between input 1 and 2
signals required to complete the calibration or scaling of the controller.

Controller Copy Function (Copy)
The Copy function is used to copy (or clone) all the settings from one
controller to other controllers requiring exactly the same setup and programming (
i.e. type of input, scaling, decimal point, filter, bypass, etc.).
Warning!
Only the PDA1200 meter copy cable must be used for
meter-to-meter interfacing. The PDA1200 is a special
eight-conductor flat cable with two wires swapped.
Using standard CAT5 or other cable will cause damage to both controllers.
Figure 22: Controller Copy Connection
Copy Function Requirements
To successfully copy settings from one controller to another, both
controllers must have:
1. Same software version
2. Same baud rate setting

Warning!
Use PDA1200 controller cable only!
Using standard CAT5 or other cable will cause
damage to both controllers.
2. Do not connect the two controllers to the same signal source.
3. Power up both controllers. Leave clone controller in Run Mode.
4. Enter the
Advanced Features menu of the Master controller see
ADVANCED OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING page 69.
5. Scroll to the
Copy function using the Up arrow button then press
Enter.
6. The controller displays the message
Send. Press Enter, the display
flashes while sending data. The message
done is displayed when
copying is completed.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The rugged design and the user-friendly interface of the controller should
make it unusual for the installer or operator to refer to this section of the
manual. However, due to the many features and functions of the controller, it’s possible that the setup of the controller does not agree with what
an operator expects to see.
If the controller is not working as expected, refer to the
Diagnostics menu
and recommendations below.
Diagnostics Menu (diag)
The Diagnostics menu is located in the Advanced Features menu, to
access
Diagnostics menu see ADVANCED OPERATION AND PRO-
GRAMMING, page 69.
It provides an easy way to view the programmed parameter settings for
troubleshooting purposes. Press the Enter
button to view the settings
and the Menu button to exit at any time.
For a description of the diagnostic messages,
see Advanced Features
Menu &
Display Messages, page 70.
Determining Software Version
To determine the software version of a controller:
1. Go to the
Diagnostics menu (diAG) and press Enter button.
2. Press Up arrow button and scroll to Information menu (
Info).
3. Press Enter to access the software number (
SFT) and ver-
sion (
UER) information. Write down the information as it is
displayed. Continue pressing Enter until all the information is
displayed.
4. The controller returns to Run Mode after displaying all the
settings.

Reset Controller to Factory Defaults
When the parameters have been changed in a way that is difficult to
determine what’s happening, it might be better to start the setup process
from the factory defaults.
Instructions to load factory defaults:
1. Enter the Advanced Features menu. See ADVANCED OPERATION
AND PROGRAMMING, page 69.
2. Press Up arrow to go to
Diagnostics menu
3. Press and hold Right arrow for five seconds, press
Enter when display flashes
reset.
Note: If Enter is not pressed within three seconds, the display returns to the
Diagnostics menu.
4. The controller goes through an initialization sequence (similar as on
power-up), and loads the factory default settings.
