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 9130 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 9130 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 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 6

The Model 9130 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 9130 to control
temperature.

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

Mounting

The SERIES 9130 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 9130 eSPP’s 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 9130 PID controller. The controller is connected via RS485 communication to the single-loop
controllers.

Electrical Installation

The Model 9130 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 9130 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
9130 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.

Additional Features

The Operator Interface (touch screen) contains a removable compact Flash Card that can be used
to transfer data from the Model 9130 to a computer. It is located on the back of the touch screen
(see

Flash Card & Flash Card Reader

section for more details).

Also included is a Utility Software CD that includes SSi’s TS Manager. TS Manager is a utility

program that can be loaded onto any Windows® based computer (operating Windows 98® or
higher). This software will allow the computer to read the data from the TS Flashcard, and allow
it to be viewed in a manner that is similar to a strip chart recorder.

Ethernet Connections

The Ethernet connection has three distinct uses. First, should the Operator Interface fail, the
Ethernet connection allows a laptop to be connected via a crossover cable to the SERIES 9130 DIN
rail mounted unit using Internet Explorer Browser. This connection can act as a LIMITED

FUNCTION “operator interface” until the Operator Interface can be repaired or replaced. The

the chart will automatically be updated once a minute.

Chart Sub Menu

There is a sub-menu available by putting a finger or a
stylus anywhere on the chart and holding it there for a
couple of seconds. The sub-menu will have the
following options available: Zoom, Restore, Add Note,
Data, and Exit.

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 9130 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.

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

ramp cycle only – future soak or ramp cycle times cannot be modified. The step must be a soak
or ramp cycle for a change in soak/ramp time to be adjusted.

for the 9130. Currently, there is only one
loop to display – temperature.
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

active key within the
Auto/Man (Auto/Manual) button. Pressing that button toggles the controller’s mode between Auto and
Manual. In the manual mode, pressing the percent output button on the
button) displays a numeric keypad, allowing a % 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.

Ack (Alarm Acknowledge)

The Ack (Alarm Acknowledge) button will allow the user to acknowledge any alarms that have been
configured, or that have been made part of the recipes that run on the SERIES 9130. If a recipe has an
alarm as a step, the alarm must be acknowledged before the recipe will continue to the next step.

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
9130 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:

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 9130 controller/programmer, then disk space.

See the Flash Card Management Section for more information.

Load TC/Auxiliary Analog Input

The Load TC/Auxiliary Analog Input screen will show
the values for the load TCs and the auxiliary analog

be modified from this screen.

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. So, say they need to
manually turn on nitrogen, and there was an event
relay assigned to that from the controller, they could
go into manual event control, and turn on the event
that is assigned to nitrogen
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

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.

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 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 24

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 9130 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 9130 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.

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

Recipe Edit

This option will allow the user to edit a recipe that is stored on the 9130 controller.
The Select Recipe button will allow the user to select
which recipe to load (1 – 300). Once the recipe has

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.

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 26

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.
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 9130. Some of
the points have a name, such as “Temperature” or

“Temperature SP”, but others will just show the

register in the 9130 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 9130 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.

Temperature Setpoints

The zone assignment feature allows the
SERIES 9130 program to change set points on
all instruments of a multi-zone furnace. The
SERIES 9130 has up to ten (10) temperature zone assignments available (Zone Assignment 1 – Zone
Assignment 10). The SERIES 9130 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

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.

Temp Instrument
This will allow the user to set the temperature instrument for the zone assignment. The options are:

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.

Date and Time
This value is the current date and time on the 9130 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

Temperature
This value determines the specific temperature scale to be
used. It can be either Degrees or degrees .

Cascade Inhibit

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

off. When inhibit = enabled, the 9130 functions as a multi-loop controller with three control loops. The
options are: enabled or disabled.

PV Difference Cutback

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

Range EOPV and Cascade Upper Range EOPV to limit the absolute % output of the furnace loop. This will
turn the PV difference cutback feature on or off. The options are: enabled or disabled.

Cascade Lower Range EOPV

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).

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

This is the specific wait limit for the temperature PV. The
range for either option is: 0 to 4000.

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

Alarm Setup

The 9130 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

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 35

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
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.

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

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

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.

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 43

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. Pressing OK will save the point.

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

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 menu option is typically used for vacuum
applications with the programmer.
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.

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 44

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.

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

Calibration
Overview

The series 9130 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 9130 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

Compact Database
This menu option will automatically compact the DW9130DB.sdf database. This database will keep track of
all of the alarms, events, recipes, and system events that occur on the 9130. When records are added,
space is reserved in the database table for the maximum amount of characters, regardless of the actual
number of characters in the record. Once the record is added, this space is not released. Instead, it will
still be associated with the record, thereby adding to the total disk space and slowing down the
communication time with the database. Compacting the database will free up this extra space, which will
speed up the amount of time it takes the software to communicate with the database.

Communications Setup
This menu option will allow the user to determine how the
Touchscreen will communicate with the 9130 instrument.
The Media option will be the type of connection the
Touchscreen is using to connect to the 9130. The options

 COM4
 Ethernet

If COM1 through COM4 is selected, the user will have to set
the Address and the Baud rate as well. If Ethernet is
selected, then user will have to enter the IP address of the
9130 instrument.
The Address option is the slave address of the 9130
instrument for the COM port communications, or the
Ethernet IP address for Ethernet communications. For the
COM port communications, the address will range from 1 to

250. For Ethernet communications, the address must be
supplied in a 999.999.999.999 format, or it will not be
accepted.
The Baud option is the baud rate for the COM port
communications. The options are:

A/I Module Offset Correction

The Analog Input module offset correction menu option
gives the user the ability to offset any input on any A/I
module for up to forty (40) inputs. Input correction curves
can also be applied to inputs 1 through 40. The offset can
be in degrees + or -, and it is typically used to compensate
for incorrect T/C wires.
Enable Offsets for Aux AIB
This option will determine if the offsets entered will be
applied on the inputs. The options are: Yes or No.

Input 1 – Input 40
This will be the offest for the specified input. The range of
the offsets is –50.0 to 50.0.

Input 1 Correction – Input 40 Correction
This will allow the user to enter a correction curve, if desired, to inputs 1 through 40. The options are: Not
Used, Curve 1 – Curve 3.

PV Switching

PV Switching allows the 9130 to use two (2) analog inputs as a
process variable source, if necessary. It can be customized
in any combination of high or low signals for loops 1, 2, or 3.
The 9130 controller normally only uses loop 1 for
temperature control, so PID loop 2 or 3 must be modified so
that it has a control source. In order for the PV signal to be

Aux Setpoint Configuration

Aux Set Point Configuration is an automatic set point
retransmission with a corresponding custom offset and
delay to one or more of the first 3 configured slave
instruments. The delay is in minutes and is only active
when the set point is dropped. This feature would most
commonly be used to keep the alarm set point of an
overtemp tracking the furnace's main set point (with
offset). The delay allows the furnace time to cool below
the level specified so that there is no overtemp alarm
when the furnace is cooling.

Generic Instruments

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

on the host instrument, such as the 9130 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 9130 controller, instrument 2’s allotment is from
register 1100 to 1199 on the 9130 controller, etc.

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”.
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

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

MUST

be entered in capital letters only.

.

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

Note – The “=” and “==”

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 58

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.

This option will display the screen where the
calculations can be entered.
To edit a line, click on the Edit button. This will bring

Manual Event Control

The Manual Event Control menu option shows the
user all of the events (0 – 15) and their current
status. It also allows the user to manually control
the status of any event by clicking on the value. A
single click will display an input box that will allow
the user 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.

Clicking on the “Value” section of the “Turn off all
events” field will force all of the events to Off

status. The user will have to confirm this action.

Clicking on the “Value” section of the “Turn ON all
events” field will force all of the events to On

status. The user will have to confirm this action.

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.

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 61

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.
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.

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

Switching

Switch Point PID 2 -> 3

section for more information. The range is –300 to 4000.

PV

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

Temperature Mode
This value determines the specific temperature scale to be used.
It can be either Degrees or degrees .

Loop 2 Instrument
The option will allow the user to select the instrument that will
serve as the Loop 2 instrument. The options are: Internal Loop 1

Default Wait Limits

The 9130 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 temperature is within the specified
range. The wait limits are both plus and minus the value
of the setpoint specified in the recipe. You can define
specific wait limits per program that supersede the
defaults with the specific wait limit OP CODE per
program (SETWAIT).

Alarm Setup

The 9130 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

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 68

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.

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.

This is the tolerance band for the thermocouple.
The range is –9999 to 9999.

Source 2 Offset
This is the offset for source 2. The range is –9999 to

9999.

Source 3 Offset
This is the offset for source 3. The range is –9999 to 9999.

Relay Assignments

The 9130 controller has the option of using eight
relay outputs. 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.

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 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 9130 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.

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 9130 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 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 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 73

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.

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 typically used for vacuum
applications with the programmer.
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 Configuration and Calibration

Overview

The series 9130 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 9130 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.

PV Switching

PV Switching allows the 9130 to use two (2) analog inputs
as a process variable source, if necessary. It can be
customized in any combination of high or low signals for
loops 1 or 2. The 9130 controller normally only uses loop
1 for temperature control, so PID loop 2 must be
modified so that it has a control source. In order for the
PV signal to be switched,

Generic Instrument Setups

The generic instrument’s data will be stored in

certain registers on the host instrument, such
as the 9130 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

. The user

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 85

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 9130
controller, instrument 2’s allotment is from register 1100 to 1199 on the 9130 controller, etc.

Instrument Calculation

The Instrument Calculation menu

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.

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 89

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”.
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

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.

MUST

be entered in capital letters only.

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

Note – A pair of parenthesis by themselves is

.

Note – The “=” and “==”

Series 9130 Operations Manual Rev - 90

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 (0 = 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.

Chapter 4 - SERIES 9130 Opcodes

Programmer Description

The SERIES 9130 Recipe Programmer provides a convenient operator interface and recipe
programmer.

The programmer uses enhanced opcodes that reduce the number of steps required for a program.
Each step may consist of: an opcode, a temperature value column, an atmosphere value column,
and an option value column. The opcode determines how and if each of the three values is used.
Because the SERIES 9130 controls only temperature, the atmosphere column is visible but is not
configurable.

An explanation of wait, wait up, and wait down options can be found at the end of this chapter.

Each opcode will be listed in the following format for readability:
