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,

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.

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.
Clicking on the OK button will set the value, while clicking on the Cancel button will cancel the action.
The Return button will return the user to the menu screen.
Shutdown
The Shutdown selection will display a screen asking whether or not to shutdown the interface of the Series
9205. When the operator interface is shutdown, the Series 9205 controller is still functioning. IT can be
monitored by connecting the ETHERNET connection to a laptop computer, using Internet Explorer, and
assigning a legitimate IP address. Choosing Yes displays a typical computer desktop screen with the Start
button in the bottom left-hand corner. The power to the operator interface can now be turned off without
upsetting any of the settings. Choosing No displays the initial Status Screen.

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.

be above the normal operating output percentage
IN2 high limit shuts down ctrl
If input 2’s high limit is reached, then all outputs are turned off. The value can either be Yes or No.
IN3 high limit shuts down ctrl
If input 3’s high limit is reached, then all outputs are turned off. The value can either be Yes or No.
PID Auto Switch
This is the PID auto switch field. The value can either be Yes or No.
Switch Point PID 1 -> 2
This is the PID Switch Point field. This is used in conjunction with the PV Switching feature. See the

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.

Recipe Edit
This option will allow the user to edit a recipe that is stored on the 9205 controller.
The Select Recipe button will allow the user to select
which recipe to load (1 – 300). Once the recipe has
been selected, the recipe will be displayed on the
screen.
The higher recipe steps can be viewed by holding a
finger or stylus on the screen and scrolling up or
down.
To edit a specific step, highlight that step and press
the Edit button. This will allow the user to select a
different Opcode to use, or to change the information
entered for the current Opcode. See the
Opcodes

To remove a step from the recipe, highlight the step number to remove, and press the Delete button. The
user will have to confirm the delete. Once the delete has been confirmed, the step will be deleted and every
step after will be moved up one step. Blank step numbers will be replaced with a NO-OP Opcode.
Press the Save button to save the changes that have been made. The recipe can be saved as any valid
recipe number (1 – 300). If the desired recipe number already contains a recipe, the user will have to
confirm the save before the old recipe will be overwritten.
If the user wishes to delete an entire recipe, they have one of two options. First, they could load up the
desired recipe and change every step to the NO-OP Opcode and save those changes; Or, they could save the
24-step “blank” (NO-OP) program that is loaded up when the
desired program number. This will save the “blank” recipe to the desired recipe number location.

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.
The Cancel button will close the screen and return to the menu screen.
