• 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

Additional Features
The Operator Interface (touch screen) contains a removable compact Flash Card that can be used to
transfer data from the Model 9200 to a computer. This flash card acts like a removable hard drive,
however it is very small and contains no moving parts to make it very portable. It is located on the back of
the touch screen (see
Flash Card & Flash Card Reader
).
Also included is a Utility Software CD that includes SSi’s Super Data (SD) Charting. SD Charting 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 Model 9200, and allow it to be charted in a
manner that is similar to a strip chart recorder.
The Operator Interface is normally accessed via the touch-screen, however connections also exist that will
allow the operator to use a traditional mouse and keyboard to enter information.
Ethernet Connections
The Ethernet connection has three distinct uses. The first is should the Operator Interface fail, the Ethernet
connection allows a laptop to be connected to the Series 9200 DIN rail mounted unit. This connection can
act as a LIMITED FUNCTION “operator interface” until the Operator Interface can be repaired or replaced.
The laptop needs to be operating a WINDOWS 98® or higher with Internet Explorer. The default IP
address is 192.168.0.200. If you are experiencing problems please call 800-666-4330 and talk with our
computer communications personnel. The second use for the Ethernet port would be for communications to
SSi Manual SERIES 9200 7 Programmable Dual-loop
Model 9200 Programmable Dual-loop Controller
a SCADA software package. Call us at 800-666-4330 if you are interested in this option. The third use for
the Ethernet Port is the primary communications connection for the Configurator Software.
Mechanical Installation
The Model 9200 Operator Interface is generally flush-mounted, either in an existing enclosure, on a “plate”
that will be retrofitted to an existing enclosure, or on a new enclosure specifically designed for it’s particular
application. Installation begins by securing the new enclosure to the floor or wall, securing the retrofit plate
to the door of the existing enclosure, or flush-mounting the Operator Interface in a cut-out of the existing
enclosure. When tightening the retaining clips on the Operator Interface, it is important to make them snug
but not to over-tighten them. Over-tightening can warp the bezel and cause irreparable damage to the
Operator Interface. The DIN rail mount portion of the controller (the Model 9200 and the 24 VDC power
supply) needs to be located in close proximity to the existing wires that were connected to the older control
unit being replaced. These units should be secured prior to making any electrical connections.
Electrical Installation
The Model 9200 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 9200 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 for each site, the customer is responsible for
providing adequate power and making it available to the Model 9200 power supply.

have been configured, or that have been made part of the recipes that run on the Series 9200. 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
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 his data
offline in a timely manner, the data will be over-written, the oldest data being that which is over-written
first. Here is how it works:
1. When the ADVANTECH 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 9200 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 9200 controller/programmer, then disk space.

which now shows the new CO Factor that you have entered. If you do not wish to make the change simply
press the Esc key which takes you back to the Factor Entry Screen with NO change being made to the CO
Factor.
The COF factor allows you to make adjustments that will allow the controller to match the results obtained
when measuring shim stock. If the controller set point and the process variable are the same, but you are
not attaining the desired surface Carbon, you can make the adjustment with the COF Factor to increase the
amount of surface Carbon available to the parts. If you lower the COF factor, it immediately lowers the %
Carbon process variable. This will cause the controller to add more enriching gas--- raising the process
variable until once again the process variable and the set point match. Conversely, raising the COF Factor
will cause the process variable to read higher, shutting down the enriching gas solenoid (possibly turning
on the air dilution solenoid) causing the % Carbon process variable to begin to lower (NOT ADDING
ENRICHING GAS) until the set point and process variable match.
Pressing the Esc button takes you back to the Menu Screen.

Pressing the Enter key moves you to the Burn off Setup Screen. This screen shows the parameters and
values associated with a probe burn off.
NOTE: All timer functions are in SECONDS
Burn off Time (sec), Burn off Recovery Wait Time (sec), Burn off Interval (min), Minimum Burn off
Millivolts, and Maximum Burn off Temperature, Digital IN 3 starts burn off. If the burn off does not force
the oxygen probe to read below 800 mV’s then it does not record the burn off, and if the maximum
temperature reaches a value greater than the value indicated it will shutdown the burn off procedure to
prevent damage to the probe. Signal input at Digital Input 3 could be used to initiate probe burn off.
Highlighting any of the parameters and pressing the Enter key displays a numeric keypad that allows the
operator/supervisor to change the current value. Pressing the Enter button after pressing the keypad to
change the value moves you back to the Burn off Setup Screen.
Pressing the Enter button or the Esc button at this point takes you back to the Menu Screen.
PID Loop Setup (Includes cycle time and more….)
Pressing the Enter key moves you to the PID Screen, showing you Loop 1 and it’s control parameter (i.e.
% Carbon, etc.) and Loop 2 and it’s parameter (i.e. temperature)
The TOP two blue arrows move you from one loop to the other. Pressing the down top arrow moves you
from Loop 1 to Loop 2. Below each of the loops are shown the PID parameters as they exist in the Series
9200 at that particular moment.
Highlighting the loop and pressing the Enter key activates the lower two up and down blue arrow keys,
separated by the Enter key. Using the lower up and down arrow keys allows the operator/supervisor to
highlight the parameters shown in the lower portion of the screen. These editable parameters include
Proportional Band, Reset and Rate, Set point, Pct Out (when in Manual Mode), Mode, Integral Preset, Cycle
Time, SP Change Limit, Control Mode, Low Limit, High Limit, 0 SP stops ctrl. Some of the parameters are
view only, such as Probe Millivolts, Process Variable, Pct Out (while in Auto Mode), SP Lower Limit, and SP
Upper Limit. Pressing the Enter key when the parameter is highlighted can change all of the other
parameters. This will move you to a numeric keypad that will allow you to change the specific parameter.
In some cases the keypad is non-active. You are given a menu of choices. Highlight your choice and press
the Enter key to make the appropriate selection.
Change set point overshoot protection:
When the Change Set point is set to any value other than OFF, the PID control operates normally until
there is a set point change. When a set point change occurs, the PID algorithm uses PB only (i.e. it ignores
the (I) Reset and (D) Rate) until the % output from the specified loop falls below the value specified. At
this time it begins calculating Reset and Rate and returns to normal operation.
Example: Change set point is set at 80%.
Current set point is 1500.
New set point is 1700 - % output rapidly goes to 100%, PID ignores Reset and Rate.
Temperature gets within PB, % output starts to drop.
When % output drops below 80%, PID operation returns to normal with Reset and Rate applied.
Normally overshoot is caused by a buildup of the Reset error term, by ignoring this term until the
temperature is with PB; the Reset term is minimized thus reducing the overshoot error. You should be
SSi Manual SERIES 9200 19 Programmable Dual-loop
Model 9200 Programmable Dual-loop Controller
cautious not to set the change set point value too low. (E.g. if the furnace controls 1700 in a steady state
at 50% output and you set the change set point value to 40% and the PB value is low, you could find
yourself in a situation where you never see 40% output and remain in a PB only
control mode.)

Zone Assignments
WARNING: This screen should not be changed without consulting SSi at 800-666-4330.
The zone assignment feature allows the SERIES
9200 program to change set points on all
instruments of a multi-zone furnace. The SERIES
9200 has up to five (5) temperature and
atmosphere zone assignments available. The
SERIES 9200 programmer looks for appropriate
zone assignments whenever a set point is to be
sent to the atmosphere or temperature controller.
The temperature set point is sent to every
instrument number in the temperature zone
assignment.
If the
used in the program, the set point sent to the
specified 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 1725, the
middle zones are 1750, and the top zone is 1800.
Step opcode Temperature Atmosphere Option
1
2
3
The first step sets the offset for zone 1 to –25 degrees; therefore, the bottom zone controller would be
sent a set point of 1725 when step 3 is executed. Likewise step 2 sets the offset for zone 4 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 atmosphere and temperature controller assigned as
instruments 1 and 2 should be in zones that will not be offset.

Chapter 3 - PROGRAMS
Overview
The program format used in the SERIES 9200 provides a simple but powerful recipe language for
controlling the heat-treat process. The SERIES 9200 can store up to 300 programs of twelve steps each.
Each step consists of an opcode that defines what is done at this step. The step can also contain
atmosphere, temperature, and option data.
This enhanced step approach provides for shorter programs. For example, a complete boost /diffuse
program can be done in twelve steps.
The programmer also has alarm capability that can be turned on during a program to monitor deviations
and high and low limits while the program is running.
Program Editing
The Program Edit Display is accessed through the Menu key on the Default Display Screen. Pressing the
Menu key displays a screen that contains the configuration items that all personnel are allowed to perform.
On that screen, running down the right side are five buttons. Below the blue down arrow key is the Login
key. Pressing this key displays a numeric keypad that allows you to enter the passcode to get to the

Programmer Description
The SERIES 9200 series Atmosphere/Temperature 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 consists of an opcode, a temperature value, an atmosphere value, and an option value.
The opcode determines how and if each of the three values are used.

This opcode is used to clear all stacks and timers and start a program. The temperature data is
interpreted as a program number and the atmosphere data as a program step. The option data is
not used. The RESET is useful in a weekend shut down program to restart the normal operating
program.
SET_AUX
The Set Auxiliary Instrument Set point opcode is used with other instruments in the process such
as flow control or belt speed. The temperature data is the set point and the option data is the
instrument number.
SET_FACT
atmosphere type for the loop is set to dew point then the H2 factor is set; otherwise the CO factor
is set. The temperature data is not used. The atmosphere data is used as the factor with decimal
places ignored. The option data is wait, wait up, or wait down. This allows the control loop to
recover from the change before continuing the program.

9200 MMI Protocol Register Mapping
July 16, 2004
The 9200 maps the most common parameters to be as compatible as possible to a MMI FDP VER. 3.X
commonly referred as a Dualpro. (Dualpro). Reads of table 0 blocks 0, 1, 6, 7, and 8 are mapped. Table
31 block 0 is mapped for probe maintenance data only. Data is mapped into the Dualpro format only if
there is a reasonable correlation between the 9200 parameters and the Dualpro parameters. Other values
in these blocks are returned as 0.
The 9200 will return an error message instead of data under the following conditions:
Table number greater than 12, except table 31 block 0.
Block number greater than 9.
Block number greater than 3 except for table 0.
Reads of blocks not mapped or returning an error read the equivalent Modbus registers. For table zero the
24 words (registers) start at the block number times 24. Therefore, block 2 would start at Modbus register
48, block 3 at 72, etc. For tables 1 through 12 the start register of the block is equal to 900 plus the table
number times 100 plus block number times 24. Tables 1 through 12 access the slave instrument data on
the 9200.
The parameter write command (X) is mapped for seven parameters.
PF1 is mapped to CO factor.
PF2 is mapped to H2 factor.
Ref Num is mapped to ID num.
Set point 1 is mapped to Loop 1 set point.
Set point 2 is mapped to Loop 2 set point.
Alarm 1 set point is mapped to Alarm 1 set point.
Alarm 2 set point is mapped to Alarm 2 set point.
The Program control command (P) should be able to start and stop SSi recipes.

Slave Instrument Mapping
The following tables can be used as a reference for retrieving information such as the PV, setpoint, etc
from a slave instrument. The slave instrument information will have a base offset based on the instrument
number that is assigned. The base offset can be determined using the following formula:
Base Offset = (Instrument Number * 100) + 900
For example, the base offset for instrument 1 would be 1000 → (1 * 100) + 900 – and the base offset for
instrument 7 would be 1600 → (7 * 100) +900. The slave instruments will be split into three sections:
Atmosphere Instruments, Temperature Instruments, and Events Instruments. The layout for each
instrument will be the same:
• Controller – The type of controller the slave instrument is – i.e. AC20, Series 9200, etc.
• Source Location – The register
in the controller
will be added on to the base offset of the instrument (see above section)
location for %C actual for an AC20 is 11. For instrument 1, the register to find the %C actual
would be 1011 → the base offset for instrument 1 is 1000, plus the source location of 11.
• Write Register – The register
• Read Scale – Any value read in from an instrument will be divided by this number for display
purposes only.
• Write Scale – Any value written to an instrument will be multiplied by this number for display
purposes only.
• Description – This will be a brief description of what the value is, i.e. %C actual, Setpoint, etc.
within the slave instrument
where the specified value is located.
. For example, the source
where the value will be written.
