DESCRIPTION

The TSC is a setpoint controller suitable for time vs. temperature, process
control applications. The TSC accepts signals from a variety of temperature
sensors (thermocouple and RTD elements), precisely displays the process
temperature, and provides an accurate output control signal (time proportional
or linear) to maintain a process at the desired control point. A comprehensive set
of easy to use steps allows the controller to satisfy various applications. The user
input can be programmed to perform a variety of controller functions.

Dual 4-digit displays allow viewing of the measured temperature value and
setpoint or temperature and profile status simultaneously. Front panel indicators
inform the operator of controller status and output states. Replaceable output
modules (Relay, logic/SSR drive or Triac) can be fitted to the main control output,
alarm output(s) or timed event output(s), and cooling output.

The TSC has been designed to simplify the set-up and operation of a controlled
setpoint profile program. The setpoint program is easily entered and controlled
through the front panel. Full display capabilities keep the operator informed of the
process temperature, profile status, output states, and setpoint value.

The controller can operate in the standard PID control mode for both heating
or cooling with on-demand auto-tune which establishes the PID gain set. The
PID gain set can be fine tuned by the operator at any time or may be locked from
further modification. The unit can be transferred to the manual control mode
providing the operator with direct control of the output.

The TSC features four programs or profile recipes, each with up to eight
ramp/soak segments, which can be easily stored and executed at any time.
Longer profiles can be achieved by linking one or more profiles together,
creating a single profile of up to 32 ramp/soak segments. Temperature profile
conformity is assured during either soak (hold) phases or both ramp and hold
phases by an adjustable error band parameter. The program repeat function
cycles the profile either continuously or a set number of times. Power-on options
automatically re-start, stop, or resume a running profile. The profile can be
controlled via the front panel buttons, the user input, or the optional serial
communications port.

Four control points, each having a setpoint and PID parameter set, are
available for instant front panel implementation during batch changeover, or

other process conditions. A control point may have its PID gain set values
disabled when implementing the control point.

The optional RS485 multidrop serial communications interface provides the
capability of two-way communication between a TSC unit and other compatible
equipment such as a printer, a programmable controller, or a host computer. In
multipoint applications the address number of each unit on the line can be
programmed from 0-99. Up to thirty-two units can be installed on a single pair
of wires. The Setpoint value, % Output Power, Setpoint Ramp Rate, etc. can be
interrogated or changed by sending the proper command code via serial
communications. Alarm output(s) may also be reset via the serial communications
interface option.

Optional alarm output(s) may be configured to operate as a timed event
output or as a standard alarm output. As an alarm output it may be configured to
activate according to a variety of actions (Absolute HI or LO, Deviation HI or
LO, or Band IN or OUT) with adjustable hysteresis. Also, a standby feature
suppresses the output(s) on power-up until the temperature stabilizes outside the
alarm region. Timed event output(s) allow the controller to activate other
equipment while a programmed profile is running. Each profile can define up to
16 event states (phases), for each output(s).

An optional secondary output is available for processes that require cooling
which provides increased control accuracy and response.

The optional linear 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 VDC output signal is available to
interface with final actuators, chart recorders, indicators, or other controllers. The
output signal can be digitally scaled and selected to transmit one of the following:

% Output Power
Measurement Value
Measurement Value Deviation
Setpoint Value

An optional Type 4X/IP65 rated bezel is available for washdown and/or dirty
environments, when properly installed. Modern surface-mount technology,
extensive testing, plus high immunity to noise interference, makes the controller
extremely reliable in industrial environments.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the TSC to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so, can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the unit. An independent and redundant
temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly recommended. The
indicators should have input sensors and AC power feeds independent from
other equipment.

BASIC OPERATION

The TSC controls the temperature profile of a system by measuring the

temperature via an input probe, compares the actual temperature to the setpoint
profile in progress, and calculates the new output power value by use of a
modified PID control algorithm. The unit controls the system with the new
output power value so the process temperature conforms to the programmed
profile. The PID control algorithm incorporates features which provide
minimum overshoot and excellent temperature control accuracy for a process.

FRONT PANEL FEATURES

In the normal display mode, the unit will display the process temperature in

the upper display. One of five other parameters may be selected for viewing in
the lower display:

Target Setpoint Profile Phase Time Remaining
% Output Power Temperature Symbol (F/C)
Profile Status

The program profile status display indicates the active profile number with

the current ramp or hold phase of the profile. The profile can be started, stopped,
advanced, etc. from the front panel when the profile status display is viewed, if
not locked from access.

The phase time remaining display, shows the time remaining in a ramp or

hold phase and, if not locked from access, may be changed on-line to effect
temporary changes to the program. Additionally, the target setpoint and %
output power (manual mode only) may also be changed on-line or locked from
operator access.

From the normal operating mode, parameters are selected by use of the PAR

button and modified by use of the UP and DOWN buttons. Parameters are then
entered by the PAR button, which advances the user to the next parameter.
Pressing the DSP button immediately returns the controller to the normal
operating mode from any parameter module. The controller configuration and

,

parameter settings are stored in an internal E2PROM device.

HARDWARE FEATURES

Type 4X/IP65 BEZEL

The fast 100 msec input sampling rate
provides quick controller response to a process
disturbance for excellent temperature control.
Measurement accuracy of 0.15% provides
closer process control conforming to the
desired control setpoint value.

The unit accepts a variety of both
thermocouple or RTD temperature probes.
The A.C. input power is switch selectable,
allowing the unit to operate from either 115
VAC or 230 VAC. Since the controller is
serviceable from the front of the panel, the
output modules may be easily changed or
replaced without disturbing the wiring behind
the panel and NO re-programming is required.
The standard model simply requires pressing a
latch to remove the unit. The Type 4X/IP65
rated model utilizes two panel securing screws
and a neoprene gasket to guarantee a water
tight seal, when properly installed.

Low-drift, highly stable circuit design
ensures years of reliable and accurate temperature control. The recommended
two year re-calibration interval is easily accomplished via the programming
menu.

SETPOINT FEATURES

The controller’s setpoint can be protected from out of range values, by
programming the setpoint range limit values. Additionally, safeguards from
inadvertent data entry can also be programmed.

The setpoint ramp feature ramps the setpoint value at start-up or any time a
setpoint change is made, at a user programmable rate, independent of a
programmed profile. This feature reduces thermal shock to the process and
also helps to minimize temperature overshoot.

The active setpoint, which can be a running profile, may also be transmitted
by the linear DC output for slave control loops.

Four control points are available which can be implemented at any time.
Each control point is programmed independently, with each having a setpoint
and a PID gain set value. With gain value changes, the output power control
signal will not “bump” resulting in a smooth control transition.

INPUT FEATURES

A programmable input filter can be used to stabilize readings from a process
with varying or oscillating temperature characteristics, helping to provide
better temperature control.

A programmable temperature shift and slope function can be used to
compensate for probe errors or to have multiple TSC units indicate the same
nominal temperature.

A programmable User Input is available to control a variety of controller
functions, such as profile control, auto/manual transfer, serial communication
print requests, etc.

4

OUTPUT FEATURES

Programmable output power limits provide protection for processes where
too much power can cause damage. Automatic sensor probe break detection, for
fail-safe operation, causes the controller to default to a programmed output
power (upscale or downscale burnout). With adjustable time proportioning-
cycle time and programmable D.C. Linear output, the controller can satisfy a
wide variety of output requirements.

During execution of a profile, two independent, timed event outputs are
available to control or signal other equipment. The event outputs use the alarm
channels.

The RS485 Communication option allows the user to access various
controller parameters such as the setpoint, % output power, % proportional
band, etc. The controller may be setup to transmit various parameters at a
programmable automatic print rate.

AUTO-TUNE

The model TSC has an auto-tune feature which, on demand, automatically
determines the PID control parameters for a particular thermal process. After
completion of auto-tune, the PID parameters are automatically optimized for
that process and loaded into nonvolatile memory. The operator may view and
modify the parameters as desired.

Auto-tune may be invoked at start-up, while ramping, or at setpoint,
depending on the process requirements. A programmable auto-tune damping
factor produces various levels of process control and response characteristics.

PROFILE PROGRAMMING

Profiles are programmed independently of each other and are separate from
the configuration of other controller parameters. Each profile has parameters for
error band (profile conformity), linking, auto-start and program repeat cycles.
Profiles may be altered during execution, so changes take effect as the
programmed profile advances.

HIDDEN FUNCTIONS MODE

*

The hidden mode is accessible from the normal operating mode by holding
the PAR button for 3 seconds. The five functions in this mode may be locked-out
individually in configuration 3 parameter lock-outs section.

“ CP” - Load control point x
“Prun” - Control ramp/hold profile state
“trnF” - Transfer between automatic (PID) control
and Manual control
“tUNE” - Invoke/Cancel PID auto-tune
“ALrS” - Reset latched alarms

CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING

The model TSC has been designed to reduce the operator interaction with the
controller while still maintaining a high degree of control accuracy and user
flexibility. Front panel program disable allows all of the controller’s set-ups to be
locked-out from further operator intervention after the initial parameter set-up.

The programming of the controller is divided into four sections:

Hidden Mode
Protected Mode
Unprotected Mode
Configuration Mode

These four programming modes allow the controller to adapt to any required
user-interface level.

UNPROTECTED PARAMETER MODE

The unprotected mode is accessible when program disable is inactive or when
the proper access code number from the protected mode is entered. Only from
this mode can the configuration modes be accessed.

“SP” - Enter setpoint
“OPOF” - Enter %output power offset
“OP” - Enter output power
“ProP” - Enter proportional band
“Intt” - Enter integral time
“dErt” - Enter derivative time
“AL-1” - Enter value for alarm #1
“AL-2” - Enter value for alarm #2
“CNFP” - Select basic configuration module
“End” - Return to normal display mode

PROTECTED PARAMETER MODE

The protected mode is accessible when program disable is active, also this
mode prevents access to the configuration modes without the proper access code
number. Only the parameters that are selected in the configuration 3 parameter
lock-outs section can be accessed.

“ProP” - Enter proportional band
“Intt” - Enter integral time
“dErt” - Enter derivative time
“AL-1” - Enter value for alarm #1
“AL-2” - Enter value for alarm #2
“CodE” - Enter access value to unprotected mode
“End” - Return to normal display mode

OUTPUT VARIATIONS WITH RS485 OPTION

The Dual Alarm or the Cooling with Alarm output, with RS485 option, does
not have independent outputs. In this case, the cooling output and/or alarm
output(s) must have the same type of output modules installed since they share
the common terminal.

TSC GLASS TEMPERING APPLICATION

A manufacturer of glass items needs to
anneal (temper) their products to reduce the
brittleness of the glass structure. The tempering
process requires the glass to be heated and
subsequently cooled at a controlled rate to
change the structure of the glass. Different
tempering profiles are required for different
types of glass products.

A TSC is employed to control the
temperature profile of the annealing oven.
Four different temperature profiles are stored in
the controller. The 4 to 20 mA analog output
option is utilized to cool the annealing oven
during the cool down ramp phases. An event
output is used to quickly cool the oven at the
end of the batch run (alarm 1). Alarm 2 is used
to signal the operator whenever the temperature
is outside the prescribed program profile.

Note: Units equipped with the RS485 option

have different terminal designators. See

“Output Variations with or without the

RS485 Option”.

The programming for this profile is as follows:

Parameter Value Description

“P1r1” 5.0 Ramp from ambient temp. during heat phase at

5.0°/min.
“P1L1” 300 Target setpoint level 300°
“P1H1” 40.0 Heat at 300° for 40.0 minutes
“P1r2” 3.0 Ramp down 3.0°/min. during cooling phase
“P1L2” 150 Target Setpoint is 150°
“P1H2” 0.0 Do not hold at 150° (used as “phantom” hold time

for triggering event output for auxiliary cooling)

“P1r3” -0.1 End Program
“P1 1” 1F2F Turn off output 1 (output 2 is alarm)
“P1 2” 1F2F Keep off output 1
“P1 3” 1F2F Keep off output 1
“P1 4” 1N2F Turn on output 1 for Auxiliary Exhaust Fan
