Installation Safety Requirements

Safety Symbols

Various symbols are used on the instrument; they have the following meaning:

Caution, (refer to the accompanying documents)

Functional earth (ground) terminal!

The functional earth connection is required for safety purposes and to ground RFI
filters.

Personnel

Installation must only be carried out by technically qualified personnel.

Enclosure of live parts

To prevent hands or metal tools from touching parts that may be electrically live (powered), the
controller must be installed in an enclosure.

Caution:

Live sensors

Do not connect live (powered) sensors to any signal input on the controller. Live
sensors are sensors that must be connected to the main's supply. The controller has
transient protection circuits connected between the inputs and the earth connection
that might be damaged by live (powered) sensors.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 4

Wiring

It is important to connect the controller in accordance with the wiring data given in this handbook.
Take particular care not to connect AC supplies to the low voltage power supply input. Use copper
wires for 24V DC power supply to the instrument. Ensure that the wiring of installations comply
with all local wiring regulations. For example in the United Kingdom use the latest version of the
IEE wiring regulations, (BS7671). In the USA use NEC Class 1 wiring methods.

Power Isolation

The installation must include a power isolating switch or circuit breaker. This device should be in
close proximity to the controller, within easy reach of the operator and marked as the
disconnecting device for the instrument.

Earth leakage current

Due to RFI Filtering there is an earth leakage current of less than 0.5mA. This may affect the
design of an installation of multiple controllers protected by Residual Current Device, (RCD) or
Ground Fault Detector, (GFD) type circuit breakers.

Over current protection

To protect the internal PCB tracking within the controller against excess currents, the AC power
supply to the controller and power outputs must be wired through a fuse or circuit breaker
specified in the technical specification.

Voltage rating

The maximum continuous voltage applied between any of the following terminals must not exceed
24V DC

 relay or triac output to logic, DC or sensor connections;
 any connection to ground.

The controller should not be wired to VAC. The 24V DC power supply voltage across the
connections and between the power supply and ground must not exceed 2.5kV. Where occasional
voltage over 2.5kV are expected or measured, the power installation to both the instrument
supply and load circuits should include a transient limiting device.
These units will typically include gas discharge tubes and metal oxide varistors that limit and
control voltage transients on the supply line due to lightning strikes or inductive load switching.
Devices are available in a range of energy ratings and should be selected to suit conditions at the
installation.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 5

Conductive pollution

Electrically conductive pollution must be excluded from the cabinet in which the controller is
mounted. For example, carbon dust is a form of electrically conductive pollution. To secure a
suitable atmosphere in conditions of conductive pollution, fit an air filter to the air intake of the
cabinet. Where condensation is likely, for example at low temperatures, include a
thermostatically controlled heater in the cabinet.

Over-temperature protection

When designing any control system it is essential to consider what will happen if any part of the
system should fail In temperature control applications the primary danger is that the heating will
remain constantly on. Apart from spoiling the product, this could damage any process machinery
being controlled, or even cause a fire. Reasons why the heating might remain constantly on
include:

 the temperature sensor becoming detached from the process;
 thermocouple wiring becoming a short circuit;
 the controller failing with its heating output constantly on;
 an external valve or contactor sticking in the heating condition;
 the controller set point set too high.

Where damage or injury is possible, we recommend fitting a separate over temperature
protection unit with an independent temperature sensor, which will isolate the heating circuit.
Please note that the alarm relays within the controller will not give protection under all failure
conditions.

Installation requirements for EMC

To ensure compliance with the European EMC directive certain installation precautions are
necessary as follows:

 When using relay or triac outputs it may be necessary to fit a filter suitable for suppressing

the emissions. The filter requirements will depend on the type of load. For typical
applications we recommend Schaffner FN321 or FN612.

Routing of wires

To minimize the pick-up of electrical noise, the wiring for low voltage dc should be routed away
from high-current power cables. Where it is impractical to do this, use shielded cables with the
shield grounded at one end.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 6

Chapter 1 - Overview

The 9205 is SSi’s versatile atmosphere programmable controller with Ethernet, RS485 Modbus,
and DF1 communications to various slave devices such as temperature controllers, flow meters,
and PLC’s. This instrument can be used to address many thermal processing applications where
temperature and carbon control along with event I/O management are necessary. The 9205 has
math block capability allowing custom calculations and custom Modbus mapping for
communications

The 9205 recipe programmer includes 24 independent steps per recipe with operational codes
(opcodes) to enable effective process control. The 9205 also supports multiple user interface

screens for more flexibility. Screen sizes include 3.5”, 5.7” and 12.1”. Functionality added to the
screens include “stylus” notes entry, user defined data points and trend charts for paperless

chart recording, zoom and pan touch screen control on the charting screen, and remote data
retrieval through Ethernet.

The Model 9205 is powered by 24 VDC, not LINE Voltage. Please be careful when connecting
power to this controller. Connecting anything other than 24 VDC will cause serious damage.

The variety of input and output combinations allows SSi to configure the Model 9205 to control
temperature and atmosphere.

The product is available in three different screen sizes. 3.5”, 5.7” and 12”.

Mounting

The Series 9205 Operator Interface mounts into a panel or on a plate by using the enclosed
mounting brackets. A rectangular cutout is required; the size of the cutout is determined by the
operator interface size. These units, along with an optional SSi SR3, 6, or 9 analog input board,
will mount on a commercially available DIN rail. This can be mounted on the sub-panel on the
side of an enclosure for the convenience of the control system.

Wiring

Wiring to the Series 9205 operator interface can be done using 232 or 485 to two connectors, comm1 (232)
or comm3 (485). The terminal strip on the lower right rear corner of the operator interface is used to
connect 24VDC power. The DB-9 port A connection is used to connect the display via 232 to the Series 9205
PID controller. The controller is connected via RS485 communication to the single-loop controllers.

Electrical Installation

The Model 9205 requires 24VDC, 4 Watt, 60 Hz, single-phase power. A 24 VDC power supply is
required and is generally included as part of the Model 9205 system. This power supply has a
universal input that can accept between 60 and 265VAC. Power should be applied in accordance
with the electrical drawings that have been supplied. Since each installation is unique to the site,
the customer is responsible for providing adequate power and making it available to the Model
9205 power supply.

SSi requirement:

MOV’s must be wired across the isolation relay coil terminals on all isolation relays that are
connected to solenoids. Further… MOV’s must be connected across the HOT and NEUTRAL wires
when the solenoid is wired to them. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST to have the MOV’s at BOTH
LOCATIONS.

The Zoom option will allow the user to zoom in on a
particular part of the screen. Once this has been
selected, the user can take a stylus or a finger and create
a box around the desired data. Once the user releases
the stylus or finger, a zoom is no longer possible, and the
user will need to re-select the option from the sub-menu
to zoom in again.

The Restore option will back out of any zoom options that
have been performed and display the chart screen as it
initially was.

The Add Note option allows the operator to enter a note
on the chart, similar to writing on a paper chart. The note

shows up when the chart is printed out using the utility
software included with the Series 9205 instrumentation. Pressing the Add Note option displays a screen
where the operator can enter the operator ID or initials and a note. The user has the option to enter a note
using the operator interface keyboard, where he or she will be able to type in the note; or the user can use
the Signature mode, which will allow them to write a note using a stylus.

The Data option will show the trend data as a data grid instead of the trend lines on a chart. This

functionality is exactly the same as if the user pressed the Datagrid View button - - from the chart

Recipe

Pressing the Recipe button on the main status
screen displays the recipe screen, which will
allow the user to load up an existing recipe and
start it, or see the currently running recipe.

The recipe screen shows the last program loaded
into the program run buffer and its status. If the
program is running, the active step number is
highlighted green. When the step is highlighted
green, then the recipe is running on that step.
When a step is highlighted yellow, the recipe is in
hold on that step. A red Acknowledge button in
the bottom left corner of the screen displays an
alarm condition.

Note – the main status screen
will also show the recipe running status, as well
as run time and remaining time for the step as
well as the entire recipe

The recipe screen has a total of seven buttons that will allow the user to load up a recipe, as well as control
the recipe and acknowledge an alarm.

.

 The Advance button will advance the recipe to the next step in the recipe. The user will need to

confirm the advance command.

 The Hold button places the displayed recipe program in hold. Once a decision is made that

affects the recipe, it may be continued by pressing the Resume button.

Note – When a recipe is

put into hold status, the text on the Hold button will change to “Resume”. When the step is

started up again, the text on the button will change back to “Hold”

hold status, the step will be highlighted yellow. The user will need to confirm the hold or
resume command.

 The Stop button stops the recipe program that is currently running. Stop means exactly that! It

stops the program. It is NOT a hold button. See the description for the hold button above. To re­start the program if it has been stopped you must use the Load button, enter the recipe
number, and then highlight the segment number of the recipe that you want to start with and
start the recipe again. The user will need to confirm the stop command.

 The Soak button allows you to enter a new value for the time remaining in the current soak or

Loops

This screen will display the program loops for the

9205. Up to three loops can be displayed. The current
process variable is displayed at the top, with each loop
set point displayed beneath the process variable. The
operator can change the process set point by touching
the screen area below the large process variable
numbers. When pressing the Temperature set point, a
numeric keypad is displayed, showing the current
value and allowing the operator to enter a new set
point by simply pressing on the appropriate numeric
keys. Once the correct set point has been entered,
press the OK key to make the change. When the OK
key is pressed the display returns to the
Screen. Another active key within the
button toggles the controller’s mode between Auto and Manual. In the manual mode, pressing the percent
output button on the

output to control the “loop” in a manual mode to be entered. If a timer is running, the status will be

displayed at the top right of the screen. Any load T/Cs that are actively communicating will be listed in the
box to the right of the setpoint/percent output values. If an alarm condition is present, the alarm text will
be displayed below the loop information. If the alarm needs acknowledging, then the Alarm Ack button will
be displayed in the bottom left corner. If the alarm is part of a recipe step, the alarm will need to be
acknowledged before the recipe can move to the next step.
The Loops Screen also allows you to move back to the default Status Screen by pressing the Return.

Data Logging using Flash Card

NOTE: See Warnings with respect to removing the Flash Card.

The Advantech TPC-642S/642-SE touch screen Operator Interface utilizing a Compact Flash
Card allows the unit to data log the parameters setup by a qualified SSi technician. Should a

customer not take the data offline in a timely manner, the data will be over-written, the oldest data being
over-written first. Here is how it works:

1. When the Operator Interface detects that there is less than 5% disk space left on the compact flash
card, an alarm will be displayed on the main interface screen stating "x% disk space remaining (overwrite
at 3%)". In the upper right corner, an ALM is indicated, but because it is not a communications alarm or a
9205 device alarm, the background remains green. This alarm will remain active until more than 5% of disk
space is available for writing data log files.

2. If the user does not copy the log data from the disk, it will eventually fall to 2% disk space. At this point,
the touch screen will select the oldest compressed file and delete it. It then checks to see if 3% remains. It
repeats this procedure until 3% disk space remains. At this point the alarm message changes to
"Overwriting data log data!” Because this allows the system to seesaw between 2% and 3%, it will continue
to display "Overwriting data log data!" until somebody offloads the files.

Technical concerns and details:
Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 19

1. If there are not enough compressed files to bring the free space up to 3%, the system will hunt down and
kill hourly files. This should only happen if compression would not be running for some reason.

2. If all compressed files and hourly files have been removed and there is still not enough disk space
(perhaps a problem with the compact flash card), the data logger will not write to the disk until the
condition is remedied. (Alarms continue to display).

3. The data log data alarm is the lowest priority. The alarm priorities are touch screen communications,
then 9205 controller/programmer, then disk space.

See the Flash Card Management Section for more information.

Manual Event Control
Events are assignable outputs, used in recipes/programs.
Typically, they are used to signal the recipe is complete, to
turn process gases off and on, and tell the equipment to
do a variety of tasks. The Manual Event Control submenu
allows the user to force the events off or on.

The Manual Event Control menu option shows the user all
of the events (0 – 47) and their current status. It also
allows the user to manually control the status of any
event by clicking on the value. To change the status,
highlight the specific event and click on the Edit button.
The user will be able to select either an On value or an Off
value.

Probe Burnoff Setup
When a probe is in a furnace, soot will collect in
the end of the probe, which will have a negative
effect on the performance of the probe. Burnoffs
are used to clean out the built-up carbon by
burning it off of the probe.

Burn off time: This is the duration of the burnoff
measured in seconds. SSi recommends a 90
second burnoff, and this will be the default value.
However, it can be adjusted by the operator. Click
on the OK button to set the new value, or click on
the Cancel button to cancel.

Rec Wait Time: The amount of time allotted to
allow the probe measurements to return to a
stable, accurate range after the burnoff is complete. This is measured in seconds. The control output is
held until this time is elapsed. Clicking on the value will allow the user to change the value.

Interval: This is the amount of time between the beginning of one burnoff and the beginning of the next
scheduled burnoff, in minutes. Default time for the instrument is 720 minutes (12 hours). However, the
amount of time between burnoffs should be determined by the application.

Minimum millivots: The minimum measured millivolt tolerance of the probe required to start a burnoff.
Clicking on the value will allow the user to change the value. SSi recommends the millivolt value gets down
to 200 mV.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 24

Maximum Temperature: The maximum measured temperature allowed during a burnoff. If the
temperature value is exceeded the burnoff will stop. This is done to help maintain the life and the accuracy
of your probe. SSi recommends a value of 1800 degrees. Clicking on the value will allow the user to change
the value.

Digital IN 4 Assignment: The value for the digital input 4 assignment. Clicking on the value will allow the
user to change the value, which can be either event or Start Burnoff.

PID Loop Setup
PID is the tuning parameters entered for each Process
Variable loop.

Prop Band (0 for On/Off)
This is the proportional band field. P = Proportional
(Prop Band). This is a field in which you want to stay
around the setpoint. The range 0 – 3276.0.

Reset
This is the reset field. I = Integral (Reset). This is the
actual temperature being monitored over a period of
time and then averaged to keep within the Proportional
band. The reset is in repeats per minute. This affects
the output of the controller. It will be proportional to the amount of time the error is present. This helps to
eliminate offset. The range 0 – 327.67.

Rate
This is the rate field. D = Derivative (Rate). This is the sudden change or rate in the temperature. This rate
is in minutes. This affects the controller output which is proportional to the rate of change of the
measurement and will control the amount of output by time restraints. Thus derivative takes action to
inhibit more rapid changes of the measurement than proportional action. Derivative is often used to avoid
overshoot. The range 0 – 327.67. The rate is not typically used for heating/carbon.

Mode
This is the mode of the loop. The values are: Dual Reverse, Single Reverse, Dual Direct, or Single Direct.
Dual – This has two output relays which can increase and decrease to achieve the SP.
Single – This has one relay which works in only one direction to achieve the SP.
Direct - If the PV - SP equals a positive number and the output would bring the PV down toward setpoint
that is direct.
Reverse – If the PV - SP equals a negative number and the output would bring the PV up toward setpoint
then that is reverse

Example: If a 12 mA output drives a 0 degree F temperature (PV) UP to a 1200 degree F temperature (SP),
this would be
Temperature Loop is Single Reverse.

Integral Preset

This field provides an offset for the starting point for PID control, also referred to as “Load Line” or “Manual
Reset”. The range is –100 to 100.

Cycle Time
This field is typically set to the valve travel time multiplied by 1.5. The range is 0 – 500.

Setpoint Change Limit
This is a smart time feature that allows Process Loop to use PB only without Reset until the Process
Variable drops below the percent output set under this category.
It is used to eliminate overshoot.
The Output percentage selected under this category
of the furnace at heat.
The options are: OFF, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, or 20%.
Example: If the furnace runs at 40% output at heat for the maximum load, the setpoint change limit should
be set to 60%.

Low Limit
This is the low limit for the loop. The range is –100 to 100.

High Limit
This is the high limit for the loop. The range is –100 to 100.

0 Setpoint Stops Control
If the Setpoint is zero, then all outputs are turned off. The option is either Yes or No.

IN1 high limit shuts down ctrl
If input 1’s high limit is reached, then all outputs are turned off. The value can either be Yes or No.

Overshoot Limit Gain
This is the Overshoot limit gain field. When calculating the control action, sometimes the calculation would
call for more than 100% which is not possible. The output is limited to 100% or whatever was set in the
High Limit field. The difference of the unlimited minus the limited is multiplied by the overshoot limit gain
and divided by 100. This is subtracted from the control output. If the gain is 0 there is no effect. Under
normal control the unlimited equals the limited and there is no effect. If there is a big change where the
control loop drives hard, then the effect is to limit the drive as it approaches setpoint and limit the
overshoot.

The limited is the values set in the upper and lower limits fields. The unlimited would be what is calculated
before limiting. For a big setpoint change, the calculations may compute 150% output, but the true output
is limited to the upper limit.
The range is 0 to 9999.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 26

Setpoint Lower Limit
This is the lower limit of the setpoint. The range is –300 to 9999.

Setpoint Upper Limit
This is the upper limit for the setpoint. The range is –300 to 9999.

Cascade SP Lower Limit
This is the cascade setpoint low limit. The 9205 uses the difference between the cascade SP lower limit and
the cascade SP upper limit and multiplies that value by the % output of the load loop. It then offsets this
value by the cascade SP lower limit and feeds the furnace loop this value as a setpoint.

Cascade SP Upper Limit
This is the cascade setpoint upper limit. The 9205 uses the difference between the cascade SP lower limit
and the cascade SP upper limit and multiplies that value by the % output of the load loop. It then offsets
this value by the cascade SP lower limit and feeds the furnace loop this value as a setpoint.

Example:
Cascade SP Lower Limit: 0
Cascade SP Upper Limit: 2000
The load has a setpoint of 1700 and it is at 37 % output. The furnace setpoint will be calculated as follows:
(2000 – 0) * 0.37 + 0 = 740.

Trend Chart Edit
This menu option will allow the user to add, modify, or
delete trend lines in a trend chart file, as well as the
trend chart files themselves. The trend lines are the
number of variables displayed on one screen. For
example this could be a control, overtemp, or load
thermocouple on a batch furnace. Or it could be one
thermocouple from eight temper furnaces. There is
not a maximum for template selections, but the
number of variables displayed on one screen must be
a consideration in this process. The buttons across
the top of the screen – Open, New, Delete, Save, and
Save As – deal with the trend chart files themselves,
not the individual trend lines.
Open will allow the user to select a trend chart file to
open up to edit.
New will create a new trend chart file to begin adding trend lines to.
Delete will delete a specified trend chart file.
Save will save all changes to the current trend chart file that have been made.
Save As will allow the user to save the current trend chart file as a new file with a different name.

Once a new trench chart file has been created, or one has been opened, trend lines can be added, modified,
or deleted. Add will add a new trend line to the file. Edit will allow the user to edit the information for a
specific trend line. Delete Line will delete the specified line from the chart file.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 28

Adding or editing a trend line will involve the following parameters:
Name – the name of the input, for example “Temp

ACT” which would be the actual temperature of the

input. It is a good idea to shorten the names so that
they still make sense, but do not take up as much
space.
Data – This will determine where the data is coming
from. The user can click on the box to select from
the list of data logged points in the 9205. Some of

the points have a name, such as “Temperature” or
“Temperature SP”, but others will just show the

register in the 9205 that has been logged.
Min – the minimum displayed scale value on a chart.
Max – the maximum displayed scale value on a
chart.
Expression – every input requires an expression to
be calculated and displayed correctly. This is because the registers in the 9205 hold only integer values, so
any value that requires a decimal point needs to be set up properly for the display. For example an
expression for temperature would be x (1750 = 1750). For a value such as carbon or millivolts, the
expression would be x * 0.01 (150 = 1.50) or x * 0.1 (805 = 80.5).
Format – the value displayed on the chart display of the operator interface. A short custom description can

be added here. For example, to display one (1) decimal point, enter a value of “#0.0”. For carbon values,
enter a value of “#0.00” for 2 decimals. This would display a value like “0.81”. Entering “#.00” would
display a value of “.81”. #0 or 0 will display integer values.

Color – The box next to the format box will allow the user to apply a color to the trend line to differentiate it
from other trend lines on the chart.
Units – The type of units used for the trend.
Line Width – a numeric value for the thickness of the trend line. A 1 is a thin line; A higher value = thicker
line width.
Sample – a number is entered here to test the expression and verify that formatting is correct.
Test – Press the test button to calculate the expression with the value entered in the sample parameter.
For example with an expression of x*.1 and a value of 250 entered in the sample parameter will display a

25.0.
The Set button will save the values entered. The Cancel button will cancel the information and make no
changes.

The OK button will close the screen and prompt the user to save any changes if changes have been made.

Zone Assignment setup

The zone assignment feature allows the Series 9205
program to change set points on all instruments of a
multi-zone furnace. The Series 9205 has up to five
temperature and atmosphere zone assignments
available (Zone Assignment 1 – Zone Assignment 5).
Typically, the first zone is configured to the programmer’s atmosphere or temperature instrument. That is
the master set point that will be propagated to the other configured zone instrument set points on set point
change. For example, the user may want to set 4 temperature zones from a recipe where the programmer
temperature instrument is loop 2. In this case, zone 1 would be configured as loop 2. Subsequent zones
would be configured as previously configured slave temperature controllers.

If the

ZONE_OFF

zone instrument would have the offset added. For example, a 3-zone pit furnace, where the bottom zone
usually has a higher set point. The middle zone and the top zone usually have a lower set point. The bottom
zone temperature controller is assigned to zone 1, the middle temperature controllers to zone 2, and the
top zone controller to zone 3.

If the first three steps of a program are as shown below, then the bottom zone set point is 1775, the middle
zone is 1750, and the top zone is 1800.

(Zone Offset) opcode had been used in the program, the set point sent to the specified

The first step sets the offset for zone 1 to 25 degrees; therefore, the bottom zone controller would be sent a
set point of 1775 when step 3 is executed. Likewise step 2 sets the offset for zone 3 to 50 degrees. The top
zone then receives a set point of 1800. The middle zone controller would receive the 1750. The temperature
controller displayed on the Status Display is instrument #2. If instrument #2 were the top zone controller
then the Status Display would show the 1800-degree set point.

When using the multi-zone offset feature, the temperature controller assigned as instruments 1 and 2
should be in zones that will not be offset.

PV Type
There are nine PVT choices for the 9205:

%Carbon Cascade
Dew Point % Carbon + Redundant TC
Millivolts Dew Point + Redundant TC
Multiloop Millivolts + Redundant TC
% Carbom + Dual Temp

%Carbon: Process variable will calculate for carbon potential along with a temperature loop. Loop 1 is
based off of Input 1 (terminals 31, 32 probe sensor millivolts) and Input 2 (terminals 29, 30 probe TC).
These two inputs together constitute loop 1. Loop 2 comes from Input 3 (terminals 27, 28) which is
temperature control.

Cascade: Three loops of temperature control work together in a cascade setting.

Dew Point: Control will be for dew point along with a temperature loop. Loop 1 is based off of Input 1
(terminals 31, 32 probe sensor millivolts) and Input 2 (terminals 29, 30 probe TC). These two inputs
together constitute loop 1. Loop 2 comes from Input 3 (terminals 27, 28) which is temperature control.

%Carbon + Redundant TC: This functions the same way as the %Carbon option with an additional
thermocouple for Loop 3. The two thermocouples are used to control carbon, and the operator can choose
the setting that will be used.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 35

Millivolts: Control is based off of what the millivolt reading is and also reads temperature.

Dew Point + Redundant TC: This functions the same way as the Dew Point option with an additional
thermocouple for Loop 3. The two thermocouples are used to control dew point, and the operator can
choose the setting that will be used.

Multiloop: Three loops of control can be assigned as selected.

Millivolts + Redundant TC: Control is based off of the millivolt reading and also reads temperature. Loop 3
is another thermocouple.

%Carbon + Dual Temp: This functions similarly to %Carbon. Input 2 is the control TC. IT is not used to
calculate carbon potential with input one and to control furnace temperature. Input 3 in the third loop and
is another TC.

Temperature

This allows the operator to chose either degree Fahrenheit or Celsius for the temperature. The options are
°C or °F. Pressing OK will set the choice.

Event Instrument
Allows for a slave instrument (or internal) to be the defined event control device. The types of instruments
are: Internal, Instrument 1 – Instrument 25.

Quench Instrument
Allows for slave instrument (or internal) to be the defined quench control device. This is setup in the
configurator furnace setup submenu. It will send the setpoint out to whatever instrument is configured for
quench. The types of instruments are: Loop 1 – Loop 3, Instrument 1 – Instrument 25.

End of Quench Event
Tells the programmer which event to signal end of quench (related to which relay it is assigned). The
default event for this is Event 7, but it can be changed in the furnace setup menu. This event pulses on and
off when the quench timer is complete. The list of possible values is: 0 – 15.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 36

Quench Speed Event
Tells the programmer which event will signal the quench speed. The default event for this is event 6. This
event will remain off if quench speed is set to low. It will turn on if quench timer is timing and quench
speed is set to high with the opcode. The list of possible values is: 0 – 15.

Quench Run Event
Tells the programmer which event will signal quench run. The default event for this is 0. This event will
stay on when the quench timer is timing. The list of possible values is: 0 – 15.

Date and Time
This value is the current date and time on the 9205 controller only (not the local computer or the touch
screen, if applicable). The time on the controller is displayed in the 24-hour format, so 8 = 8 AM, and 14 = 2
PM.

Note: The date and time of the touch screen can be changed (if necessary) by selecting the date and
time in the lower right corner on the touch screen, once the screen software has been shutdown and the
Windows™ desktop is visible. Then, at the CE screen the date and time can be changed by double taping
the time in the bottom right corner and setting it, then select “apply”. For this to take effect the screen
needs to be rebooted; on the older TPC 642 displays the registry needs to be saved under TPC Configuration
icon, the Misc Tab and then reboot the touch screen. The date and time that is recorded on the flash card

(and therefore the datalog data) is the date and time of the Advantech display, not the controller

.

Default Hold Time
This value is the default holding time for the furnace. The range is 0 to 10000.

Deviation Alarm delay
This value is the delay for the alarm if a deviation alarm is detected. The range is 0 to 10000.

Furnace Name
This will allow the user to give the controller a display name.

PV1 Name
This will allow the user to give the first process variable a display name.

This will allow the user to give the third process variable a display name

Clear events/end of recipe
This switch will allow the user to clear the events out at the end of a recipe. The options are either no or
yes.

Start Quench
This option will determine what event starts the quench cycle. It determines wheter the quench timer
starts immediately after it sees the quench opcode or if it waits for an input event If this option is set to
start on an opcode, when the recipe reaches the step, it will preload the timer and start timing immediately.
If it is set for an input, it will preload the timer but wait until it sees the input configured go high before it
starts timing. The options are: On Recipe Opcode (

Quench Hold Event
This option will determine which event will hold the quench cycle. It is used to hold the quench timer with
an external device. If the input that is configured turns on then the quench timer will go into a hold mode.
The list of possible values is: 0 – 15.

Note: This field is only applicable if the controller is in Cascade Mode

of PV difference. This is used with the PV Difference Cutback and Cascade Upper Range EOPV to limit the
absolute % output of the furnace loop. Between the lower range EPOV and the upper range EOPV, there is
a linear interpolation from 0 to the loop 2 output maximum (usually 100 %) that determines the maximum %
output for the furnace loop. The range is -300 to 10000.

Cascade Upper Range EOPV

Note: This field is only applicable if the controller is in Cascade Mode

of PV difference. This is used with the Cascade Lower Range EOPV and PV Difference Cutback to limit the
absolute % output of the furnace loop. Between the lower range EPOV and the upper range EOPV, there is
a linear interpolation from 0 to the loop 2 output maximum (usually 100 %) that determines the maximum %
output for the furnace loop. The range is -300 to 10000.

Example: With the Lower EOPV set to 10 and the Upper EOPV set to 110, if the load PV is 1700 and the
furnace PV is 1710, the full 100% output is available. If the load PV is 1600 and the furnace PV is 1710, the
furnace output will not go above 0%. If the load PV is 1655 and the furnace PV is 1710, the maximum output
for the furnace loop will be limited to 55%: (1710 – 1655)/(110-10) * (1.0).

The Return button will return the user to the menu screen.

Default Wait Limits
The 9205 controller uses default wait limits in conjunction with
recipe programs. The wait limits are in place to help make sure a
recipe will not continue to the next step until the process variable
is within the specified range. The wait limits are both plus and
minus the value of the setpoint specified in the recipe.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 38

Temp Wait Limit
This is the specific wait limit for the temperature PV. The range is: 0 to 4000.

Atm Wait Limit
This is the specific wait limit for the atmosphere PV. Range is 0-40

The Return button will return the user to the menu screen.

Alarm Setup

The 9205 controller can be configured to use three (3)
different alarms. Each of the alarms consists of an
alarm setpoint, alarm source, alarm type, alarm
hysteresis, smart alarm, ON delay time, and a 0 SP
blocks alarm value. The alarms come from the
factory with a default configuration dependent on the
application but also can be modified prior to
shipment to your facility or in the field by a
supervisor.

Setpoint
This value is the setpoint for the alarm. Clicking on
this value will display an input box from which the
user can select a new value. The range is from –
32767 to 32767.

Alarm Source
This option will indicate the source of the alarm. The options are:
PV 1 Value
PV 2 Value
N/A
Input 1 Value
Input 2 Value
Input 3 Value
Percent Output 1 Value
Percent Output 2 Value
Percent Output 3 Value

Alarm Type
This value is the type of alarm used. Options are:
Process High
Process Low
Band, Normally Open
Band, Normally Closed
Deviation, Normally Open
Deviation, Normally Closed

Hysteresis
This value is the Hysteresis value. The Hysteresis is a set number that works with the alarm to help control
a motor or pump longer to reach a set amount to come back into band before it will shut off motor or pump.

Example: Using quench oil as an example, suppose the SP is 200 °F. The alarm is set as a deviation of +10
°F. At 210 °F, the alarm is active and the pump will run to cool the oil. With a hysteresis of 8 °F, the alarm

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 39

and pump will turn off at 202 °F. It will turn back on when it is 10 °F above setpoint. If the setpoint is still
200 °F, then at 210 °F, it will turn on again.

Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is
from -32767 to 32767.

Smart Alarm
This value is a display of the Smart Alarm status. A smart alarm is an alarm that works with a Process
Variable (PV), and, when enabled, it will not be active until the PV is within band of the setpoint. The alarm
sounding - if active - will be disabled until within the SP band. When it is in band, the alarm will go active
unless on delay time is set.

Example: If the SP is 1700 °F and the band is 10 °F, the alarm will not be active until the PV reaches 1690
°F. The value can be either disabled or enabled.

Alarm On Delay Time
This value is the On Delay Time for the alarm. Clicking on this value will display an input box from which
the user can select a new value. The range is from -32767 to 32767.

Zero Setpoint Blocks Alarm
This value will allow a 0 setpoint to block an alarm. The options are either No or Yes.

BO/Impedance inhibits alarm

If BO/Impedance inhibits alarm is turned to Yes, no alarm will sound if the carbon percentage drops
because of a burnoff.

Inhibit Source
None
Input1-4
Soak timer inactive The alarm will not happen if the furnace is in a soak if this option is selected.

The Return button will return the user to the menu screen.

Thermocouple Check
This menu option allows the values between up to three
thermocouples to be compared to one another. If the
thermocouples go out of band, it is possible to set up an
alarm that will alert the operators of this error.

Tolerance Band This allows the operator to set the tolerance band between the thermocouples being
compared. The range is -9999 to 9999.

Source 2 Offset This allows for an offset to be assigned to the second thermocouple and taken into account
when the comparison between values is made. The range is -9999 to 9999.

Source 3 Offset This allows for an offset to be assigned to the third thermocouple and taken into account
when the comparison between values is made. The range is -9999 to 9999.

Relay Assignments

The 9205 controller has the option of using eight
relay outputs, as well as eight relay outputs for
four additional modules. All of the relays have a
positive common terminal and independent
negative terminals. All of the relays are
configured in a normally closed position except
relay number eight, which has both a normally
closed (NC) and a normally open (NO) terminal.
These relays can be configured to work with
events, alarms, loops, burnoff and alarm
combinations.

Analog Input Setup
The 9205 controller has three analog inputs. Each of the
inputs comes with a factory default configuration
dependent on the application. It can be modified prior to
shipment to your facility or in the field by a technician or
qualified/trained person with the proper security code.

Analog Input Terminals
Analog Input 1 – terminals 31 and 32
Analog Input 2 – terminals 29 and 30
Analog Input 3 – terminals 27 and 28

Input Type
The thermocouple type for most applications can be modified depending on your specific needs.

some of the inputs DO NOT allow the user to modify the Input type

. To change the Input type, first select

Note -

** - When the specified input type is selected, a jumper located inside the case will need
to be placed on that specific input for reading this selection. If jumper is not placed on
input, then damage could occur to the board.

Filter time
The filter time is a factory applied averaging tool used to help maintain steady control in high EMI
environments. The filter time should not be adjusted without consulting SSI. Clicking on this value will
display an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is 0 to 32767.

Initial Scale
This is the initial scale value. This could also be referred to as the starting value. For example, the initial
value is the value when 0 volts is on the selected input; or on a 4-20 mA input, it would be the value at the
selected input of 4 mA. Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new
value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

This is the decimal point location value. This will affect the PV value and the location of the decimal when it
is displayed. Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new value.
The range is 0 to 4.

Open TC
This is the open TC value. The options are: up scale, down scale, one trip point, and two trip points.

Input Offset
The input offset value is algebraically added to the input value to adjust the input curve on read-out. The
range is –32768 to 32767.

TRIP POINT EXPLANATION: Setting a trip point will force the value that the controller uses for calculations
to a certain value as assigned by the operator. Once the Trip Point Setpoint is reached, the controller will
begin reading the value as the Trip Point Force Value, regardless of what the actual value is inside the
furnace. The Trip Point Direction allows the operator to choose whether the controller will alter its reading
when the trip point is either above or below the setpoint.

Trip Point 1 Setpoint
This is the trip point 1 setpoint value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

Trip Point 1 Force Value
This is the trip point 1 force value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

Trip Point 1 Direction
This is the trip point 1 direction. The options are: input above setpoint or input below setpoint.

Range
This is a Process Variable value between 4 and 20 milliamps. Clicking on this value will display an input box
from which the user can select a new value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

Note - The range, although not displayed with a decimal point, contains a decimal point that is dependent
on the process variable selected. For example, if the offset is 20 mV for 4 mA, and you want 100 mV to be 20
mA, then your range should be 80. If the process variable is temperature, then the range will be 80, since
temperature PVs do not have a decimal. If the PV is % Carbon, then the range will need to include the two
decimal points for % Carbon. So, a range of 80 will be entered as 8000. See below for more examples

Current Selection
Provides the option of 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA control. Clicking on this value will display an input box with a
drop-down list from which the user can select either of the two values listed above.

Alternate PID Setup

The Alternate PID Setup menu option allows for up to
16 sets of PID values to be used on the first loop via the
programmer. This is frequently used if a different PID
would be more suitable once a furnace reaches a
certain temperature.

There is a choice of PID 1 – 16, and Loop 1 Set 1 – Loop
1 Set 3.

Prop Band (0 for On/Off)
This is the proportional band for the PID setup. P =
Proportional (Prop Band). This is a field in which you
want to stay around the setpoint. The range of values is
–32768.0 to 32767.0.

Reset
This is the reset value. I = Integral (Reset). This is the actual temperature being monitored over a period of
time and then averaged to keep within the Proportional band. The reset is in repeats per minute. This
affects the output of the controller. It will be proportional to the amount of time the error is present. This
helps to eliminate offset. The range is -32768.00 to 32767.00.

Rate
This is the rate value. D = Derivative (Rate). This is the sudden change or rate in the temperature. This rate

is in minutes. This affects the controller output which is proportional to the rate of change of the
measurement and will control the amount of output by time restraints. Thus derivative takes action to
inhibit more rapid changes of the measurement than proportional action. Derivative is often used to avoid
overshoot. The range is -32768.00 to 32767.00.

Integral Preset
This is the integral preset value. This field provides an offset for the starting point for PID control, also
referred to as “Load Line” or “Manual Reset”. The range is –32768 to 32767.

High Limit
This is the high limit value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

Low Limit
This is the low limit value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

Calibration

Overview

The series 9205 can be calibrated using the
Touchscreen interface. Before performing this
procedure on a newly installed controller, the unit
needs to be powered on for at least 30 minutes for a
warm up period.
The series 9205 has three analog inputs. Each range has
a zero and span calibration value. A cold junction trim
value must be calibrated for thermocouple inputs. There
are two analog outputs each with a zero and span value.
To calibrate an input or output, select the desired option
and continue.

Note – Even though the “Cold Junction”
option is listed first, the inputs and outputs should have the zero and span calibration performed BEFORE
performing a cold junction calibration

.

Equipment needed

A certified calibrator(s) with the ability to input and read millivolts, milliamps and thermocouples is
required. The appropriate connection leads are also required. A 24VDC 75-watt power supply is required.

Notes

Input 1 – terminals 31 and 32
Input 2 – terminals 29 and 30
Input 3 – terminals 27 and 28
Output 1 – terminals 24 and 25
Output 2 – terminals 25 and 26

- The circle will be filled in with a dot for the selected
option. For a zero calibration, the recommended value
to source is 0 mV.
Click on the Calibrate button to begin the calibration.
A progress bar will be displayed along the bottom of the
screen giving the progress of the calibration.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 50

Span Calibration - Inputs
To perform a span calibration, click on the “Span” option - The circle will be filled in with a dot for the
selected option. For a span calibration, the recommended value is 90 % of the full range. For example, if
the range is 80 mV, then the span should be 72 mV. The recommended value can be changed by clicking on
the value, and entering the new value that way.
Click on the Calibrate button to begin the calibration.
A progress bar will be displayed along the bottom of the screen giving the progress of the calibration.

Zero Calibration - Outputs

To perform a zero calibration, click on the “Zero”

option - The circle will be filled in with a dot for the
selected option. When ready to start the calibration,
click on the Ready button. The user will then have to
measure the current at the appropriate output
terminals and enter that value on the button next to
the Ready button by clicking on that value button and
entering the value.
Click on the Calibrate button to begin the calibration.
A progress bar will be displayed along the bottom of

Ready button by clicking on that value button and entering the value.
Click on the Calibrate button to begin the calibration.
A progress bar will be displayed along the bottom of
the screen giving the progress of the calibration.

Cold Junction Calibration

The “Cold Junction” option will allow the user to

perform a cold junction trim on the selected board.
To determine if a cold junction adjustment is needed,
hook up the calibrator with the appropriate T/C wire
attached, and source a temperature to the input. It is
recommended to use an operating temperature to
source. For example, if the furnace typically runs at
1700 °F, then 1700 °F should be sourced to the input.
If the displayed value does not equal the value being
sourced, then a cold junction adjust would be

necessary. The “Offset” will be the amount of change desired. For example, if 1700°F is being sourced, and
the “Value” is showing 1696.4 °F, then the “Offset” would be set to 3.6. If 1700 °F is being sourced, and the
“Value” is showing 1702.3 °F, then the “Offset” would be set to -2.3.

Click on the Calibrate button to begin the calibration.
Wait 120 seconds and verify with a source calibration device with the correct T/C type.

Note: During a
normal calibration procedure, the user should zero and span all of the inputs first and then perform a cold
junction calibration, if necessary

It is recommended after each Cold Junction calibration to source a value in and check what the displayed
temperature reading is.

Generic Instruments

The generic instrument’s data will be stored in certain registers

on the host instrument, such as the 9205 controller. Each
instrument is allotted a certain set of registers, starting with
register 1000. To determine the beginning register, use the
following calculation: (100 * generic instrument’s number (1 –

16)) + 900. Therefore, instrument 1 would begin at register
1000: (100 * 1) + 900. Instrument 7 would begin at register 1600:
(100 * 7) + 900. Each instrument is allotted 100 registers,

therefore, instrument 1’s allotment is from register 1000 to
1099 on the 9205 controller, instrument 2’s allotment is from

register 1100 to 1199 on the 9205 controller, etc.

Instrument Calculation
The Instrument Calculation menu allows programming
code-like lines to be executed at a variable time
interval per step.

Note – It is important to contact
Super Systems at 800-666-4330 before creating or
modifying any Instrument Calculation customization.

General Description
The Instrument Calculation allows for fifty (50) lines of
program and fifty (50) program variables. Program
variables allow for storage on intermediate results of
calculations.
A program variable is designated by a v followed by a number from 0 to the number of variables – 1.

A Lower or Upper case “V” is valid, as well as leading zeroes. The following are all considered the same

variable: V3, v3, v0003.
The 9220’s Modbus registers can be used as input variables in the equations without restriction. To protect
the instrument, Modbus registers are restricted as output registers.
Modbus registers are designated by an upper or lower case “M” followed by a number.

Note – The standard Modbus routine is called to retrieve the Modbus variable, therefore a 0x8000 (-32768)
will be returned for an invalid register

.

Note – Modbus registers are stored with integer values, so adjustments will need to be made for decimal
values

.

If the instrument can have external analog input boards, or the instrument is a Video Recorder or DAQ,

these inputs can be accessed directly as A1 through A40. By using the “A” designation, the Modbus register

number is not needed and the variable is scaled to the correct value (decimals included) based on the input
type specified.
In a Video Recorder, the slave instrument data slots can be defined as variables D1 through D32. D31 and
D32 are extra slots and have no restrictions as output variables. D1 through D30 are shared with the first
ten (10) slave instruments in groups of three (3) – PV, SP, PO – and caution should be used when assigning
as outputs.
A line in the program of the instrument calculation must start with a variable or a keyword.
Variables must be followed by an equal sign (=) and then an expression. The expression can be a simple
assignment (V1 = 3) or a variable operation variable as described below (V1 = M225 * 0.1).
Keywords
The list of valid keywords is: IF, ELSE, ENDIF, QUE, RLY, and END.
“IF” must be followed by an expression which is a variable, relationship operator, then variable.
The list of valid relationship operators is: > (Greater Than), < (Less Than). = (Equals), >= (Greater Than or
Equal To), <= (Less Than or Equal To), != (Not Equal To), and == (Equal To).

relationship operators are identical

The list of valid bitwise operators is: & (AND), | (OR), ^ (XOR), << (Left Shift), and >> (Right Shift).
The result of the “IF” relationship test determines if the lines following the “IF” statement will be executed
or not.

The “ELSE” and “ENDIF” must be on a line by themselves. “ELSE” will toggle the program based on the
result of the “IF” test. “ENDIF” will close out the “IF”.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 60

MUST

be entered in capital letters only.

.

Note – The “=” and “==”

Example:
IF V1 >= 30
V3 = V2 * 1.5
ELSE
V3 = 5
ENDIF
In this example, if the value in V1 is greater than or equal to 30, then the value of V3 will be the value of V2
multiplied by 1.5. If the value in V1 is less than 30, the value of V3 will be 5.

EVERY

“IF” must have a closing “ENDIF”. However, the “ELSE” is optional.

The “QUE” is used to send data to a slave instrument and must have three (3) variables separated by

spaces. The first is the slave instrument number, the second is the register number, and the third is the
data to send.
Example:
QUE 3 1129 V1
This example will send the value of V1 to register 1129 on instrument 3.

The “RLY” is used to control a relay if the relay assignment is 999. The “RLY” must be followed by a

variable which is the relay number (1 – 8) and a relationship expression.
Example:
RLY 5 M554 < 2
This example would turn Relay 5 ON if the communication status for instrument 5 was bad.
The “END” keyword will stop the lines from running, and start over from line 1.
There are a few functions that are available as well. The list of valid functions is: FSIN (Sine), FCOS
(Cosine), FEXP (Exponent), FLOG (Logarithm), FLN (Natural Logarithm), FSQRT (Square Root), FABS
(Absolute Value), and FPOW (Power). The Sine and Cosine functions need to have the parameter in radians.
A function must be in all caps and begin with an “F” and have a pair of parenthesis. An undefined function
returns the value of the expression in the parenthesis.

considered an undefined function

The instrument calculation has limited parsing ability. This is kept to variables, operation, variable – i.e. V1
= 12.25 * V2. Another example is M128 = V1/100.
A negative sign (-) in front of the number is considered part of the number – i.e. V1 = -2.55 + V2.
A variable to the parser is one of the following: a program variable (Vxx), a Modbus register (Mxxx), a
number, or a function.
Example:
V1 = (V2 * 1.35) + (V3 * V4)
This example will multiple V2 by 1.35 and multiply V3 and V4 together, and add those two results and store
that value in V1.
The maximum length of a program line is thirty-one (31) characters.
The following are the valid mathematical operators: + (Addition), - (Subtraction), * (Multiplication), /
(Division), and % (Modulo Divide – integer only).
The difference between Division and Modulo Division is that Modulo will always return an integer value.
Example:
11 / 4 = 2.75
11 % 4 = 2 (The .75 will not be returned)

Calculation Time In MS (0 to Disabled)
This is the calculation time for the calculations. This will specify the delay between executing a line. Each
line has the same delay between them, even if they are blank. A value of zero (0) will keep the calculations
from being performed. The range is 0 – 10000.

PID Loop Setup

PID is the tuning parameters entered for each Process
Variable loop.

Prop Band (0 for On/Off)
This is the proportional band field. P = Proportional
(Prop Band). This is a field in which you want to stay
around the setpoint. The range 0 – 999.0

Reset
This is the reset field. I = Integral (Reset). This is the
actual temperature being monitored over a period of
time and then averaged to keep within the Proportional
band. The reset is in repeats per minute. This affects
the output of the controller. It will be proportional to
the amount of time the error is present. This helps to
eliminate offset. The range 0 – 100.00

Rate
This is the rate field. D = Derivative (Rate). This is the sudden change or rate in the temperature. This rate
is in minutes. This affects the controller output which is proportional to the rate of change of the
measurement and will control the amount of output by time restraints. Thus derivative takes action to
inhibit more rapid changes of the measurement than proportional action. Derivative is often used to avoid
overshoot. The range is 0 – 100.00. The rate is not typically used for heating/carbon

Mode
This is the mode of the loop. The values are: Dual Reverse, Single Reverse, Dual Direct, or Single Direct.
Dual – This has two output relays which can increase and decrease to achieve your SP.
Single – This has one relay which works in only one direction to achieve your SP.
Direct - If the PV - SP equals a positive number and the output would bring the PV down toward setpoint
that is direct.
Reverse – If the PV - SP equals a negative number and the output would bring the PV up toward setpoint
then that is reverse

Example: If a 12 mA output drives a 0 degree F temperature (PV) UP to a 1200 degree F temperature (SP),
this would be
Temperature Loop is Single Reverse.

Integral Preset

This field provides an offset for the starting point for PID control, also referred to as “Load Line” or “Manual
Reset”. The range is –100 to 100.

Cycle Time
This field is typically set to the valve travel time multiplied by 1.5. The range is 0 – 300.

Setpoint Change Limit
This is a smart time feature that allows Process Loop to use PB only without Reset until the Process
Variable drops below the percent output set under this category.
It is used to eliminate overshoot.

This is the lower limit of the setpoint. The range is –100 to 100.

Setpoint Upper Limit
This is the upper limit for the setpoint. The range is –100 to 100.

PV Source
The options for PV Source are either Internal or External. If External is selected, the loop’s PV must be
written by an external source. Selecting Internal will continue normal operation where the source is
determined by the PID loop and the PV type.

Positive Output Accumulator/ Negative Output Accumulator
The accumulators indicate total output positive and/or negative in 0.1%/sec. For example, for each second
at 100% output, the accumulator will have 1000 added to its total. Positive and negative are split up so that
they don't cancel each other out. This feature could potentially be used for costing if the cost to run heaters
at 100% output is known. Selecting either of these options will display a prompt asking if the user would
like to reset the accumulator.

Zone Assignments

A zone assignment on the 9205 controller
allows the recipe programs to change
setpoints on all slave instruments of a
multi-zone furnace (up to 10 zones).

WARNING: This screen should not be
changed without consulting SSi at 800-666-

4330.

*Only used when running recipes

*Slave Instrument Setup must be configured prior to Zone Assignment setup

* Temperature zones link instruments to Temperature Setpoints

The zone assignment feature allows the Series 9205 program to change set points on all instruments of a
multi-zone furnace. The Series 9205 has up to five temperature zone assignments available (Zone
Assignment 1 – Zone Assignment 5). The Series 9205 programmer looks for appropriate zone assignments
whenever a set point is to be sent to the temperature controller. The temperature set point is sent to every
instrument number in the temperature zone assignment.

If the

usually has a higher set point. The middle zone and the top zone usually have a lower set point. The bottom

zone temperature controller is assigned to zone 1, the middle temperature controllers to zone 2, and the
top zone controller to zone 3.

If the first three steps of a program are as shown below, then the bottom zone set point is 1775, the middle
zone is 1750, and the top zone is 1800.

The first step sets the offset for zone 1 to 25 degrees; therefore, the bottom zone controller would be sent a
set point of 1775 when step 3 is executed. Likewise step 2 sets the offset for zone 3 to 50 degrees. The top
zone then receives a set point of 1800. The middle zone controller would receive the 1750. The temperature
controller displayed on the Status Display is instrument #2. If instrument #2 were the top zone controller
then the Status Display would show the 1800-degree set point.

When using the multi-zone offset feature, the temperature controller assigned as instruments 1 and 2
should be in zones that will not be offset.

Furnace Setup

The Furnace Setup menu option is an administrative access only
option. Do not make any adjustments on the screen without first
contacting Super Systems, Inc. at 800-666-4330.

Note for
controllers with Cascade control: When in cascade mode, the
9xxx treats loop 2 as the furnace loop and loop 3 as the load
loop. It feeds the output of the load loop into the set point of the
furnace loop

PV Type
There are nine PVT choices for the 9205:

%Carbon Cascade
Dew Point % Carbon + Redundant TC
Millivolts Dew Point + Redundant TC
Multiloop Millivolts + Redundant TC
% Carbom + Dual Temp

%Carbon: Process variable will calculate for carbon potential
along with a temperature loop. Loop 1 is based off of Input 1

(terminals 31, 32 probe sensor millivolts) and Input 2 (terminals 29, 30 probe TC). These two inputs
together constitute loop 1. Loop 2 comes from Input 3 (terminals 27, 28) which is temperature control.

Cascade: Three loops of temperature control work together in a cascade setting.

Dew Point: Control will be for dew point along with a temperature loop. Loop 1 is based off of Input 1
(terminals 31, 32 probe sensor millivolts) and Input 2 (terminals 29, 30 probe TC). These two inputs
together constitute loop 1. Loop 2 comes from Input 3 (terminals 27, 28) which is temperature control.

%Carbon + Redundant TC: This functions the same way as the %Carbon option with an additional
thermocouple for Loop 3. The two thermocouples are used to control carbon, and the operator can choose
the setting that will be used.

Millivolts: Control is based off of what the millivolt reading is and also reads temperature.

Dew Point + Redundant TC: This functions the same way as the Dew Point option with an additional
thermocouple for Loop 3. The two thermocouples are used to control dew point, and the operator can
choose the setting that will be used.

Multiloop: Three loops of control can be assigned as selected.

Millivolts + Redundant TC: Control is based off of the millivolt reading and also reads temperature. Loop 3
is another thermocouple.

%Carbon + Dual Temp: This functions similarly to %Carbon. Input 2 is the control TC. IT is not used to
calculate carbon potential with input one and to control furnace temperature. Input 3 in the third loop and
is another TC.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 76

Alarm Setup

The 9205 controller can be configured to use
three (3) different alarms, and a Thermocouple
Check. Each of the alarms consists of an alarm
setpoint, alarm type, alarm hysteresis, smart
alarm, ON delay time, 0 SP blocks alarm value,
Burnoff/Impedance inhibits alarm, Inhibit
source, and disable on open input. The alarms
come from the factory with a default
configuration dependent on the application but
also can be modified prior to shipment to your
facility or in the field by a supervisor.

Setpoint
This value is the setpoint for the alarm. Clicking
on this value will display an input box from

which the user can select a new value. The range is from –9999 to 9999.

Alarm Type
This value is the type of alarms used. Clicking on this value will display an input box with two (2) drop-down
lists from which the user can select a new value.
The values in the first (top) list box are:
PV 1 Value
PV 2 Value
N/A
Input 1 Value
Input 2 Value
Input 3 Value
PO1 Value
PO2 Value
N/A

The values in the second (bottom) list box are:
Process High
Process Low
Out of Band
In Band
Outside Deviation
Within Deviation

Hysteresis
This value is the Hysteresis value. The Hysteresis is a set number that works with the alarm to help control
a motor or pump longer to reach a set amount to come back into band before it will shut off motor or pump.

Example: Using quench oil as an example, suppose the SP is 200 °F. The alarm is set as a deviation of +10
°F. At 210 °F, the alarm is active and the pump will run to cool the oil. With a hysteresis of 8 °F, the alarm
and pump will turn off at 202 °F. It will turn back on when it is 10 °F above setpoint. If the setpoint is still
200 °F, then at 210 °F, it will turn on again.

Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is
from 0 to 9999.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 77

Smart Alarm
This value is a display of the Smart Alarm status. A smart alarm is an alarm that works with a Process
Variable (PV), and, when enabled, it will not be active until the PV is within band of the setpoint. The alarm
sounding - if active - will be disabled until within the SP band. When it is in band, the alarm will go active
unless on delay time is set.

Example: If the SP is 1700 °F and the band is 10 °F, the alarm will not be active until the PV reaches 1690
°F. The value can be either disabled or enabled.

ON Delay Time
This value is the ON Delay Time. Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can
select a new value. The range is from 0 to 9999.

0 SP Blocks Alarm
This value will allow a 0 setpoint to block an alarm. The options are either no or yes.

Bo/Impedance Inhibits Alarm
This option will allow the user to specify if a burnoff or impedance test will keep the alarm from sounding.
The options are either no or yes.

Inhibit Source
This option will allow the user to set the source of the inhibit signal. The options are: None, Input 1 – Input
4, Soak Timer Inactive, Input 6 – Input 15.

Disable on Open Input
This option will allow the user to specify if the alarm is disabled when the input is open. The options are
either no or yes.

Thermocouple Check

This menu option allows the values between up to
three thermocouples to be compared to one
another. If the thermocouples go out of band, it is
possible to set up an alarm that will alert the
operators of this error.

Source 1 This assigns the first thermocouple that
will be compared. The options are:
Not used
Instrument 1-27
n/a

Input 3
Input 2
Input1

Source 2 This assigns the second thermocouple that will be compared. The options are:

Source 3 This assigns the third thermocouple that will be compared. The options are:
Not used
Instrument 1-27
n/a
Input 3
Input 2
Input1

Tolerance Band This allows the operator to set the tolerance band between the thermocouples being
compared. The range is -9999 to 9999.

Source 2 Offset This allows for an offset to be assigned to the second thermocouple and taken into account
when the comparison between values is made. The range is -9999 to 9999.

Source 3 Offset This allows for an offset to be assigned to the third thermocouple and taken into account
when the comparison between values is made. The range is -9999 to 9999.

Relay Setpoints

Configurator – Relay Setpoints menu option

This option is typically used for vacuum applications.

The 9200 controller offers the user three pairs of configurable setpoints for each input. Each pair of
setpoints allows the user to configure both ON and OFF trigger points. The values entered are in
engineering units based on input configuration.

The relay setpoints can only be used once the relays are assigned as such in the
option.

The range is –32768 to 32767.

Analog Input Setup

The 9205 controller has three analog inputs. Each of
the inputs comes with a factory default configuration
dependent on the application. It can be modified prior
to shipment to your facility or in the field by a
technician or qualified/trained person with the proper
security code.

Analog Input Terminals
Analog Input 1 – terminals 31 and 32
Analog Input 2 – terminals 29 and 30
Analog Input 3 – terminals 27 and 28

Input Type
The thermocouple type for most applications can be
modified depending on your specific needs.

Note ­some of the inputs DO NOT allow the user to modify the
Input type

input you want to change by selecting it in the pull­down menu just below the main menu list. Clicking on
the Value will display an input box, and then you can use the pull-down menu to select the desired
parameter. Once selected, click
following is a list of the options:
B S 12.5 volts **
C T 781.25mv
E 2.5 volts 195.3125 mV
J 1.25 volts
K 78.125 mV
N 19.53125 mV
NNM 4-20 mA **
R 25 volts **

. To change the Input type, first select which

OK

and the displayed Input type under Value will be the current type. The

** - When the specified input type is selected, a jumper located inside the case will need
to be placed on that specific input for reading this selection. If jumper is not placed on
input, then damage could occur to the board.

Filter time
The filter time is a factory applied averaging tool used to help maintain steady control in high EMI
environments. The filter time should not be adjusted with consulting SSI. Clicking on this value will display
an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is 0 to 32767.

Initial Scale
This is the initial scale value. This could also be referred to as the starting value. For example, the initial
value is the value when 0 volts is on the selected input; or on a 4-20 mA input, it would be the value at the
selected input of 4 mA. Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new
value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

Full scale
This is the full scale value. Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a
new value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

Decimal Point Location

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 81

This is the decimal point location value. This will affect the PV value and the location of the decimal when it
is displayed. Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new value.
The range is 0 to 4.

Open Input
This is the open TC value. Clicking on this value will toggle between up scale, down scale, one trip point,
and two trip points.

Input Offset
The input offset value is algebraically added to the input value to adjust the input curve on read-out. The
range is –5000 to 5000.

TRIP POINT EXPLANATION: Setting a trip point will force the value that the controller uses for calculations
to a certain value as assigned by the operator. Once the Trip Point Setpoint is reached, the controller will
begin reading the value as the Trip Point Force Value, regardless of what the actual value is inside the
furnace. The Trip Point Direction allows the operator to choose whether the controller will alter its reading
when the trip point is either above or below the setpoint.

Trip Point 1 Setpoint
This is the trip point 1 setpoint value in °F. The trip point is used as a way to ensure that the probe is still
working properly and that there is not a problem with the furnace that could ruin the load. If the probe
takes a measurement in conflict with the trip point, the reading will automatically be forced to the Trip
Point Force Value. This will cause the system to set off an alarm so that the operator will be aware there is
a problem. The range is –32768 to 32768.

Trip Point 1 Force Value
This is the trip point 1 force value. This value is used when the probe begins reading values in conflict with
the trip point. Although the probe will still be taking measurements, the 9205 controller will use the force
value as the input so that an alarm will be set off. The range is –32768 to 32768.

Trip Point 1 Direction
This is the trip point 1 direction. The options are: input above setpoint or input below setpoint. If input
above setpoint is chosen, then the force value will be used when the probe begins measuring above the trip
point setpoint. If input below setpoint is chosen, then the force value will be used when the probe begins
measuring below the trip point setpoint.

Trip Point 2 Setpoint
This is the trip point 2 setpoint value. The range is –32768 to 32768.

Trip Point 2 Force Value
This is the trip point 2 force value. The range is –32768 to 32768.

Trip Point 2 Direction
This is the trip point 2 direction. The options are: input above setpoint or input below setpoint.

High Input Limit Setpoint
This is the setpoint for the high input limit. The setpoint cannot be assigned any value above this. The
range is –32768 to 32768.

High Input Limit Hysteresis
This is the hysteresis for the high input limit. The hysteresis cannot be assigned any value above this. The
range is –32768 to 32768.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 82

Use Input Correction Curve
This option will allow the user to use a correction curve on the input. The options are No or Yes.

Analog Output Setup

The 9205 controller has the option of
two analog outputs. The outputs are
ranged for a 4 – 20 milliamp signal or
a 0 – 20 milliamp signal. Each output
comes with a factory default
configuration dependent on the
application. Each output can be
modified prior to shipment to your
facility or in the field by a supervisor.

Analog Output Terminals
Analog output 1 – terminals 24 and 25
Analog output 2 – terminals 25 and 26

Assignment
The analog output assignment can be modified depending on your system requirements. To change the
Assignment first select which analog output you want to change by selecting it in the pull-down menu just
below the main menu list. Clicking on this value will display an input box, and then you can use the pull­down menu to select the desired parameter. Once selected, click OK and the displayed assignment under
Value will be the current assignment type. The following is a list of the options:
PV 1 retrans Input 1 retrans
Loop 1 inc Input 2 retrans
Loop 1 dec Input 3 retrans
Loop 1 combo SP1 retrans
PV 2 retrans Programmer ID num
Loop 2 inc Disabled
Loop 2 dec
Loop 2 combo
Loop 3 inc
Loop 3 dec
Loop 3 combo

Combo example for carbon : 4 – 12 mA Air
12 – 20 mA Gas

Offset
This is the starting point, the Process Variable value at which you get 4 milliamps. Clicking on this value
will display an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

Range
This is a Process Variable value between 4 and 20 milliamps. Clicking on this value will display an input box
from which the user can select a new value. The range is –32768 to 32767.

Note - The range, although not displayed with a decimal point, contains a decimal point that is dependent
on the process variable selected. For example, if the offset is 20 mV for 4 mA, and you want 100 mV to be 20
mA, then your range should be 80. If the process variable is temperature, then the range will be 80, since
temperature PVs do not have a decimal. If the PV is % Carbon, then the range will need to include the two
decimal points for % Carbon. So, a range of 80 will be entered as 8000. See below for more examples

.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 83

Current Selection
Provides the option of 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA control. Clicking on this value will display an input box with a
drop-down list from which the user can select either of the two values listed above.

Offset and Range when assigned to a control loop
Inc : 0 = 4mA, 100 = 20mA
Dec : 0 = 4mA, -100 = 20mA

Example: if 4 – 20 mA = 800 mV - 1200 mV
Offset = 800 (starting point)
Range = 400

Passcode and Alarm

There are four levels of menus in the 9205
controller - Operator, Supervisor, Administrator,
and SSi Special.

alarms. As shipped, the relay contact is open with no alarm. The user can choose either normally open or
normally closed.

Alarm 1 – Alarm 3
The user can choose either normally open or normally closed.

IP Address

The IP Address menu item is a display of the
current IP Address, IP Address Mask, and the IP
Address Gateway of the 9205 controller.
Modification of the screen should not be done
without contacting Super Systems Inc. This page
allows the user to change the IP Address, IP
Address Mask, and IP Address Gateway of the 9205
controller. The range for each section of the three
addresses is 0 to 255.

Note – If the IP address of

the controller is changed, then the IP address will
have to be changed in the System Settings menu

option - . Once the IP address has been
changed, the communications will eventually go bad
and stay bad until the settings have been updated

.

Redundant TC Setup

This option allows the operator to
choose which TC to control in a
redundant TC setup. The redundant
TC setup allows for two
thermocouples to be used and
measured from. This option can be
configured so that the higher or lower
is automatically selected or in manual
mode so that the operator can choose
which TC to use.

Band
The Band lets the user set how far apart the values of the TCs in the redundant setup can be before an
alarm is activated. The alarm can be assigned under the Relay Assignment menu option. The range for
this is -4000 to 4000.

Delay Time
This is the time in seconds that will pass once the TCs go out of band before an alarm is activated to prevent
excessive, unnecessary alarming. The range is 0 to 3200 seconds.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev - 86

Curve Entry

Most types of inputs that are used in SSi controllers
are already setup with a curve built for most every
type of thermocouple available, certain vacuum
sensors, etc. However, if an application calls for an
input without a standard curve, the curve can be
built using this option. Voltages can be paired with
corresponding values to create a sensor curve
based off of a provided equation or data. This
allows the controller to make appropriate readings
from the sensor.
The first screen shows that five separate curves can
be edited. Selecting one of Curve 1-5 and pressing
Edit will display the screen where new curves can
be assigned. The type can be toggled between
Linear and None.

Thirty-two points can be assigned by selecting one
of the points and pressing Edit. This allows the
operator to change the Millivolts and the corresponding Value by clicking on each option.
Curve Type
This is the type of curve. The options are none or linear.

Control Range
This is the control range for the curve. The range is 0 to 32000.

VacX (1 – 32)
Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new vacuum value. The
range is from 0 to 32000.

Alternate PID Setup

The Alternate PID Setup menu option allows for
up to 16 sets of PID values to be used on all two
loops via the programmer. This menu option is
frequently used if a different PID would be more
suitable once a furnace reaches a certain
temperature, oftentimes in vacuum applications.

There is a choice of PID 1 – 16, and LP1 Set 1 –
LP2 Set 3.

Prop Band (0 for On/Off)

This is the proportional band for the PID setup. P
= Proportional (Prop Band). This is a field in which you want to stay around the setpoint. The range of
values is –1.0 to 999.0.

Reset
This is the reset value. I = Integral (Reset). This is the actual temperature being monitored over a period of
time and then averaged to keep within the Proportional band. The reset is in repeats per minute. This

affects the output of the controller. It will be proportional to the amount of time the error is present. This
helps to eliminate offset. The range is 0.00 through 10.00.

Rate
This is the rate value. D = Derivative (Rate). This is the sudden change or rate in the temperature. This rate
is in minutes. This affects the controller output which is proportional to the rate of change of the
measurement and will control the amount of output by time restraints. Thus derivative takes action to
inhibit more rapid changes of the measurement than proportional action. Derivative is often used to avoid
overshoot. The range is 0.00 through 10.00.

Integral Preset
This is the integral preset value. This field provides an offset for the starting point for PID control, also
referred to as “Load Line” or “Manual Reset”. The range is –100 to 100.

High Limit
This is the high limit value. The range is –100 to 100.

Low Limit
This is the low limit value. The range is –100 to 100.

SSi Analog Input Setup

The SSi Analog Input Setup menu option allows the
user an input selection of three inputs per module,
and three input corrections per module. There are
eight modules available. It is configurable for voltage
of T/C (universal input), and it is typically used for
Load T/Cs and Auxiliary Flow Meters.

Input Type 0 – Input Type 2
This will select the input type for the module. The
options are:

J T 20 mV 25.6 volts**
K 2.56 volts 4-20 mA/124 12.8 volts**
N 1.28 volts 4-

** - When the specified input type is selected, a jumper located inside the case will need
to be placed on that specific input for reading this selection. If jumper is not placed on
input, then damage could occur to the board.

Input 0 Correction – Input 2 Correction
This option will set a correction curve for the input. The options for the input corrections are: not used,
Curve 1 – Curve 3.

Input 1 Open T/C – Input 3 Open T/C
This option will allow the user to set the direction of the open T/C for each input. The options are: Up Scale
or Down Scale.

SSi Configuration and Calibration

Overview
The series 9205 can be calibrated
using the operator interface
Configurator software usually
supplied with the system. Before
performing this procedure on a newly
installed controller, the unit needs to
be powered on for at least 30 minutes
for a warm up period.

The series 9205 has three analog
inputs. Each range has a zero and span calibration value. A cold junction trim value must be calibrated for
thermocouple inputs. There are two analog outputs each with a zero and span value.

Equipment needed
A certified calibrator(s) with the ability to input and read millivolts, milliamps and thermocouples is
required. The appropriate connection leads are also required. A 24VDC 75-watt power supply is required.
The operator interface method requires a PC with the Configurator software loaded. An Ethernet crossover
cable is required.

Notes
Input 1 – terminals 31 and 32
Input 2 – terminals 29 and 30
Input 3 – terminals 27 and 28
Output 1 – terminals 24 and 25
Output 2 – terminals 25 and 26

The user will need a thermocouple calibrator capable of outputting a thermocouple signal to calibrate the
zero, span or cold junction value of the input board. The user will need to connect the calibrator to one of
the inputs on the analog board for the channel that will be calibrated. It is recommended to let everything

Generic Instrument Setups

The generic instrument’s data will be stored in

certain registers on the host instrument, such
as the 9205 controller. Each instrument is
allotted a certain set of registers, starting with
register 1000. To determine the beginning
register, use the following calculation: (100 *
generic instrument’s number (1 – 16)) + 900.
Therefore, instrument 1 would begin at
register 1000: (100 * 1) + 900. Instrument 7
would begin at register 1600: (100 * 7) + 900. Each instrument is allotted 100 registers, therefore,
instrument 1’s allotment is from register 1000 to 1099 on the 9205 controller, instrument 2’s allotment is
from register 1100 to 1199 on the 9205 controller, etc.
