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 A 5

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 A 6

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 A 7

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, 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. when the solenoid is wired to them.

Further… MOVs must be connected across the HOT and NEUTRAL wires

IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST to have the MOVs at BOTH

9205. Up to three loops can be displayed. The current process variable is displayed at the top, with each loop set point displayed beneath the process variable. The operator can change the process set point by touching the screen area below the large process variable numbers. When pressing the Temperature set point, a numeric keypad is displayed, showing the current value and allowing the operator to enter a new set point by simply pressing on the appropriate numeric keys. Once the correct set point has been entered, press the key is pressed the display returns to the Screen. Another active key within the button toggles the controller’s mode between Auto and Manual. In the manual mode, pressing the percent output button on the output to control the “loop” in a manual mode to be entered. If a timer is running, the status will be displayed at the top right of the screen. Any load T/Cs that are actively communicating will be listed in the box to the right of the setpoint/percent output values. If an alarm condition is present, the alarm text will be displayed below the loop information. If the alarm needs acknowledging, then the 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.

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 set up 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:

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.

Log Types

The System Log tracks the startup and shutdown activity of the touch screen as well as when communications to the controller are established.

The Alarm Log tracks all alarms—those that are internal to the controller and those that are generated by the PLC. This log tracks the alarm generated, its start time, and its end time. This log can be useful for helping build an alarm history.

The Cycle Log keeps track of charged loads and completed recipes. Specifically, it displays the start time and date, completed time and date, and recipe number executed. A Utilization button can be pressed to open a page with information on utilization based a selected date and on the amount of time that the 9205 controller has run a recipe compared to the amount of time it has not run a recipe.

Probe Manager This option allows the user to register a probe within the 9205 by entering its serial number. Doing so starts a tracking history of probe burn-offs, impedance tests, recovery time, and other probe parameters. Trends can be monitored this way, and the impedance of the probe can be traced to help estimate its life expectancy.

To install a new probe, tap Install New Probe. You will be asked for the probe serial number. Enter it and tap

OK.

When Burnoff Report is selected, a list showing when a burnoff took place will appear, along with probe mV, temperature, and temperature change during the burnoff. When a burnoff event is selected, a chart will show temperature changes during the burnoff event.

When Probe Test Report is selected, a list will appear showing test parameters for the selected probe: time: Impedance kΩ, Recovery Time, Start Temperature, Test mV, and Test Temperature. When a test event is selected, a chart will show temperature changes during the test.

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.

Burnoff 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

OK button to set the new value, or click on

on the

the

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 Millivolts: 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.

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.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 27

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.

Burnoff Minimum Millivolts Alarm Setpoint: The minimum millivolt value that must be reached in order for the “Insufficient mV drop during BO” alarm not to be generated. If the millivolt value does not drop below the minimum, the alarm will be generated.

Burnoff Maximum Temperature Rise Limit: The maximum number of degrees that the temperature is allowed to increase before the “Excessive TC rise during BO” alarm is generated.

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

Prop Band (0 for On/Off) Proportional Band determines the response to the current error. The Proportional Band is the percent of the range of the process variable that will produce 100% output and is the inverse of the proportional gain. A low Proportional Band value results in a larger change in output for a given error. Conversely, a high Proportional Band value results in a smaller change in output for a given error. If the Proportional Band is too small, control may oscillate or be otherwise unstable. If the Proportional Band is too large the control action may be too sluggish in response to changes within the system. Note: If the Proportional Band is set to 0.0, only on/off control is performed. The range

0 –

3276.0.

Reset Reset determines the influence of past errors. The Reset, or integral action (expressed in repeats per minute), sums the error between the process variable and setpoint over time and adds this accumulated output to the proportional output. A “proportional only” controller generally operates with steady-state error because some error is required to produce control output. The goal of integral action is to drive the steady-state error to zero and eliminate this droop.

The range 0 – 327.67.

Rate Rate adjusts the response to future errors. The Rate, or derivative action (expressed in minutes), is used to predict system behavior and has a dampening effect. The more the controller tries to change the process variable the harder the derivative will work to counter that effort. This dampening effect can be valuable in reducing overshoot but is most often useful when trying to improve control on systems with significant and predicable lag.

Control 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

The range 0 – 327.67. NOTE: The rate is not typically used for carbon control.

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

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%.

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

Control 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.

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.

PID auto switch is a feature within the instrument that allows multiple PID Loops to be used for various temperature ranges. This feature can be extremely helpful when a single PID Loop is not accurate across a wide temperature range. The most common indication that PID auto switching may improve furnace ability is failure to pass Temperature Uniformity Surveys (TUS). In many examples, a certain PID Loop may prevent under- or over-shoot at normal operating temperatures; but produce unacceptable overshoot at lower temperature.

This feature allows the user to utilize (up to) three distinct loops to obtain more accurate heating curves. In most applications, it is helpful to use the built-in Tuning Assistant feature to determine appropriate PID

values. These values can be recorded and manually entered as described below. The chart below demonstrates this feature.

In the example above, proper use of the Tuning Assistant allows the user to find the following optimal PID settings for the following temperature ranges:

• 0-800F -> PID Group 1 (P = 1.0, I = 2.0, D = 3.0)

• 801-1500F -> PID Group 2 (P = 1.3, I = 2.3, D = 2.3)

• 1501F+ -> PID Group 3 (P = 1.6, I = 2.6, D = 3.6)

The following settings must be made via the touch screen:

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

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.

PV Source The options for PV Source are either Internal or External. If External is selected, the loop’s PV must be written by an external source (an example would be a 7EK controller, PLC, etc.). Selecting Internal will continue normal operation where the source is determined by the PID loop and the PV type.

Minimum Forward On Time (sec) This setting specifies the minimum number of seconds for which output must be positive (heating) before the control is turned off. The maximum value for this setting is 100.

Minimum Forward Off Time (sec) This setting specifies the minimum number of seconds for which the control must be off after heat is applied. The maximum value for this setting is 100.

Minimum Reverse On Time (sec) This setting specifies the minimum number of seconds for which output must be negative (cooling) before the control is turned off. The maximum value for this setting is 100.

Minimum Reverse Off Time (sec) This setting specifies the minimum number of seconds for which the control must be off after cooling is applied. The maximum value for this setting is 100.

Positive Output Accumulator The Positive Output Accumulator is the sum of the positive outputs (given in percentages up to one decimal place) measured each second. Therefore, if the following outputs are recorded over five seconds:

Then the value for the Positive Output Accumulator after five seconds will be (100.0 + 99.0 + 99.0 + 98.0 +

97.0) or 493.0.

To reset the Positive Output Accumulator, simply click Edit while the Positive Output Accumulator is highlighted and confirm the reset. This will cause the Positive Output Accumulator to be reset to zero and start accumulating values again from that point.

Negative Output Accumulator The Negative Output Accumulator is the sum of the negative outputs (given in percentages up to one decimal place) measured each second. The sum of the negative values is expressed as a positive value. This means that, if an output of -50% is recorded after one second, a value of 50 will be added to the Negative Output Accumulator. Similarly, if the following outputs are recorded over five seconds:

Then the value for the Negative Output Accumulator after five se

conds will be (20.0 + 20.0 + 21.0 + 21.0 +

22.0) or 104.

To reset the Negative Output Accumulator, simply click Edit while the Negative Output Accumulator is highlighted and confirm the reset. This will cause the Negative Output Accumulator to be reset to zero and start accumulating values again from that point.

Overshoot Control Logic Overshoot control logic is activated when a large setpoint change occurs. If the logic is active and a large

t

point occurs, it sets a working setpoint at an appropriate distance from the desired setpoint to prevent

se the PV from overshooting the desired final setpoint. When the PV reaches or crosses this working setpoint, then the logic exponentially ramps the working setpoint to the desired final setpoint.

Ramp Detect Logic The Ramp Detect logic works in conjunction with the instrument recipe programmer. If the control loop is

e temperature loop for the recipe programmer, and the OPCODE is a ramp, then the control loop does

th some special checks. If the Overshoot Control Logic is active, then the final setpoint of the ramp is used to determine the working setpoint band. However, the ramp setpoint is used until the band is reached. Also, once the band is reached, if the ramp is faster than the overshoot logic exponential ramp, then the program is temporarily put on hold as needed to sync the two ramps.

Ramp Level 1 Control and Ramp Level 2 Control Ramp Level 1 and 2 Control are only active if the Ramp Detect logic is active.

Ramp Level 1 Control provides mild overshoot protection during a recipe ramp.

R

amp Level 2 Control is only active if the Ramp Level 1 control is active.

Ramp Level 2 Control provides enhanced overshoot protection during a recipe ramp.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 32

Output rate change This option causes the 9205 controller to limit the rate at which the output changes in the furnace. For example, if the output rate change limit is 5% per second, the controller will increase the output at a rate no greater than 5% each second until the output reaches the level needed to reach setpoint. This limit can be useful in cases where (for example) a heating element should not (for operational and safety reasons) heat up to a high output immediately. If the output needs to reach 100% to achieve setpoint, the Output Rate Change Limit will apply the output incrementally, rather than allowing the output to climb to 100% as soon as the heat is turned on.

PID Switch Variable This is the parameter that triggers the PID switch. The options are Process variable and Setpoint. Note that PID Auto Switch must be set to Yes in order to use PID Switching.

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. Note that certain parameters are already setup and logged. For anything needed beyond this, you will need to contact SSi at (513) 772-0060 to get the register information. This register will need to be added to the Datalogging Setup in the

Configuration menu.

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.

Zone Assignments

WARNING: This screen should not be changed without consulting SSi at (513) 772-0060.

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

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

2. Subsequent zones would be configured as previously configured slave temperature controllers.

If the zone 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 Assignment 1 – Zone Assignment 5).

ZONE_OFF

(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.

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 (513) 772-

0060.

PVT Type There are nine PVT choices for the 9205:

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

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

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

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

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

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 42

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

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

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

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

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

IMPORTANT:

If the 9205 is controlling % Carbon or Dew Point, control will be disabled if either or both of

the following are true:

• Millivolts registered by probe are below 500 mV or above 1300 mV.

• Temperature registered by probe is below 900°F or above 2100°F.

Temperature Mode

This allows the operator to choose either degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius for the temperature. The options are

°C or °F. Pressing OK will set the choice.

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 43

End of Quench Event Tells the programmer which event to signal end of quench (related to which relay it is assigned). The default event for this is Event 7, but it can be changed in the furnace setup menu. This event turns on for one (1) minute when the quench timer is complete. The list of possible values is:

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

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

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

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

Alarm Setup

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

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 PV 3 Value Input 1 Value Input 2 Value Input 3 Value Output 1 Value Output 2 Value Output 3 Value

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

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 46

for more information on factory

Band, Normally Closed Deviation, Normally Open Deviation, Normally Closed

Band alarm works by looking at a value above and below setpoint. Deviation alarm works by looking at a value either above or below (based upon the setpoint value the user has entered). A few examples would probably be best to explain how to set these up properly.

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

-32767 to 32767.

from

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 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

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

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

Inhibit Source Alarms can be inhibited in order to prevent false or unnecessary alarm notifications. The Inhibit Source option will allow the user to set the source of the inhibit signal. The options are: Soak timer inactive (The alarm will not happen if the furnace is in a soak if this option is selected), and . Input 6 – Input 15.

Disable on open input An alarm can be disabled when an input the open in order to avoid false or unnecessary alarms. This option will allow the user to specify if the alarm is disabled when the input is open. The options are either yes.

Relay Assignments

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

Relay Output Terminals: Relay Output 1 – terminals 7 and 8 Relay Output 2 – terminals 7 and 9 Relay Output 3 – terminals 7 and 10 Relay Output 4 – terminals 7 and 11 Relay Output 5 – terminals 7 and 12 Relay Output 6 – terminals 7 and 13 Relay Output 7 – terminals 7 and 14

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.

Prop Band (0 for On/Off) Proportional Band determines the response to the current error. The Proportional Band is the percent of the range of the process variable that will produce

100% output and is the inverse of the proportional gain. A low Proportional Band value results in a larger change in output for a given error. Conversely, a high Proportional Band value results in a smaller change in output for a given error. If the Proportional Band is too small, control may oscillate or be otherwise unstable. If the Proportional Band is too large the control action may be too sluggish in response to changes within the system. Note: If the Proportional Band is set to 0.0, only on/off control is performed. The range is

Reset Reset determines the influence of past errors. The Reset, or integral action (expressed in repeats per minute), sums the error between the process variable and setpoint over time and adds this accumulated output to the proportional output. A “proportional only” controller generally operates with steady-state error because some error is required to produce control output. The goal of integral action is to drive the steady-state error to zero and eliminate this droop. The range is

Rate Rate adjusts the response to future errors. The Rate, or derivative action (expressed in minutes), is used to

predict system behavior and has a dampening effect. The more the controller tries to change the process variable the harder the derivative will work to counter that effort. This dampening effect can be valuable in reducing overshoot but is most often useful when trying to improve control on systems with significant and predicable lag.

Calibration (Auxiliary Analog Inputs) The user will need a calibrator capable of outputting a temperature, voltage, and millivolt signal to calibrate the zero, span or cold junction value. The user will need to connect the calibrator to one of the inputs on the data logger for the channel that will be calibrated. It is recommended to let everything (calibrator and data logger) sit for approximately thirty minutes to allow the temperature to achieve equilibrium. Set up the calibrator for the specific thermocouple type, i.e. type K, type J, etc. Then, source a specific temperature, like 1000°F, or millivolt to the connected input. It is recommended that the actual temperature used be similar to an appropriate process temperature. For example, if your equipment normally operates at 1700°F, then perform the cold junction calibration using a 1700 °F signal. It is important to note that when performing a zero or span calibration,

Overview

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

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

.

Equipment needed

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

Click on the Calibrate button to begin the calibration. A progress bar will be displayed along the bottom of the screen giving the progress of the calibration.

Cold Junction Calibration The “Cold Junction” option will allow the user to perform a cold junction trim on the selected board. To determine if a cold junction adjustment is needed, hook up the calibrator with the appropriate T/C wire attached, and source a temperature to the input. It is recommended to use an operating temperature to source. For example, if the furnace typically runs at 1700 °F, then 1700 °F should be sourced to the input. If the displayed value does not equal the value being sourced, then a cold junction adjust would be necessary. The “Offset” will be the amount of change desired. For example, if 1700°F is being sourced, and the “Value” is showing 1696.4 °F, then the “Offset”

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 60

would be set to 3.6. If 1700 °F is being sourced, and the “Value” is showing 1702.3 °F, then the “Offset” would be set to Click on the Calibrate button to begin the calibration. Wait 120 seconds and verify with a source calibration device with the correct T/C type.

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

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

that is based on intervals of time. For example, assume a plant has burners that need to be inspected once per week. The Timed Event can be programmed to remind operators to perform this maintenance check. In the example shown, a Timed Event called “Burners” has been created. The and the number of item will remain active is 20. The appear on the main 9205 touch screen is “Check condition of burners”.

• Conditional Timer. The conditional timer maintenance

event is based on the status of a selected controller register over a defined period of time. For example, a maintenance task may need to be performed when a register value is above a certain threshold for 1 hour. If the register value is above that threshold for 1 hour, a maintenance message will be displayed on the main 9205 screen.

Read/Write Data This menu option is protected by the SSi special passcode. Contact SSi at (513) 772-0060 to obtain this passcode before making any changes. This menu option is used mainly for technical support reasons. It will read the registers from the 9205 and display those registers on the screen. The user will be able to read from and write to the 9205’s registers. When the screen is first displayed, it will read the first 100 registers from the 9205 and display them in a column format. The top of the list will show “0”, “10”, “20”, etc. These are the column headers. Each value in the column will be a logical increment of the header, where the first value in the column equals the header value. For instance, column “0” will start with register 0, which in the picture has a value of “101”. The next value down is register 1, which has a value of “5”. The next value down is register 2, which has a value of “1”, etc. So, column “40”, 4 values down is register is register 43, which has a value of “9999”.

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

16)) + 900. Therefore, instrument 1 would begin at register 1000: (100 * 1) + 900. Instrument 7 would begin at register 1600: (100 * 7) + 900. Each instrument is allotted 100 registers, therefore, instrument 1’s allotment is from register 1000 to 1099 on the 9205 controller, instrument 2’s allotment is from register 1100 to 1199 on the 9205 controller, etc. The

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 9205’s Modbus registers can be used as input variables in the equations without restriction. To protect the instrument, Modbus registers are restricted as output registers. Modbus registers are designated by an upper or lower case “M” followed by a number.

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

.

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

.

values

If the instrument can have external analog input boards, or the instrument is a Video Recorder or DAQ, these inputs can be accessed directly as A1 through A40. By using the “A” designation, the Modbus register number is not needed and the variable is scaled to the correct value (decimals included) based on the input type specified. In a Video Recorder, the slave instrument data slots can be defined as variables D1 through D32. D31 and D32 are extra slots and have no restrictions as output variables. D1 through D30 are shared with the first ten (10) slave instruments in groups of three (3) – PV, SP, PO – and caution should be used when assigning as outputs. A line in the program of the instrument calculation must start with a variable or a keyword. Variables must be followed by an equal sign (=) and then an expression. The expression can be a simple assignment (V1 = 3) or a variable operation variable as described below (V1 = M225 * 0.1).

MUST

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),

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”.

Note – The “=” and “==”

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

EVERY

“IF” must have a closing “ENDIF”. However, the “ELSE” is optional. The “QUE” is used to send data to a slave instrument and must have three (3) variables separated by spaces. The first is the slave instrument number, the second is the register number, and the third is the data to send. Example: QUE 3 1129 V1 This example will send the value of V1 to register 1129 on instrument 3. The “RLY” is used to control a relay if the relay assignment is 999. The “RLY” must be followed by a variable which is the relay number ( 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), (Absolute Value), and 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.

FEXP (Exponent), FLOG (Logarithm), FLN (Natural Logarithm), FSQRT (Square Root), FABS

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 Disable) 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

PID Loop Setup

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

Prop Band (0 for On/Off) Proportional Band determines the response to the current error. The Proportional Band is the percent of the range of the process variable that will produce 100% output and is the inverse of the proportional gain. A low Proportional Band value results in a larger change in output for a given error. Conversely, a high Proportional Band value results in a smaller change in output for a given error. If the Proportional Band is too small, control may oscillate or be otherwise unstable. If the Proportional Band is too large the control action may be too sluggish in response to changes within the system. Note: If the Proportional Band is set to

0.0, only on/off control is performed. The range

Reset Reset determines the influence of past errors. The Reset, or integral action (expressed in repeats per minute), sums the error between the process variable and setpoint over time and adds this accumulated output to the proportional output. A “proportional only” controller generally operates with steady-state error because some error is required to produce control output. The goal of integral action is to drive the steady-state error to zero and eliminate this droop. The range is

0 – 327.67.

0 – 3276.0.

Rate Rate adjusts the response to future errors. The Rate, or derivative action (expressed in minutes), is used to predict system behavior and has a dampening effect. The more the controller tries to change the process variable the harder, the derivative will work to counter that effort. This dampening effect can be valuable in reducing overshoot but is most often useful when trying to improve control on systems with significant and predicable lag. The range

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

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

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.

PID auto switch is a feature within the instrument that allows multiple PID Loops to be used for various temperature ranges. This feature can be extremely helpful when a single PID Loop is not accurate across a wide temperature range. The most common indication that PID auto switching may improve furnace ability is failure to pass Temperature Uniformity Surveys (TUS). In many examples, a certain PID Loop may prevent under- or over-shoot at normal operating temperatures; but produce unacceptable overshoot at lower temperature.

This feature allows the user to utilize (up to) three distinct loops to obtain more accurate heating curves. In most applications, it is helpful to use the built-in Tuning Assistant feature to determine appropriate PID values. These values can be recorded and manually entered as described below. The chart below demonstrates this feature.

In the example above, proper use of the Tuning Assistant allows the user to find the following optimal PID settings for the following temperature ranges:

• 0-800F -> PID Group 1 (P = 1.0, I = 2.0, D = 3.0)

• 801-1500F -> PID Group 2 (P = 1.3, I = 2.3, D = 2.3)

• 1501F+ -> PID Group 3 (P = 1.6, I = 2.6, D = 3.6)

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

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

Minimum Forward On Time (sec) This setting specifies the minimum number of seconds for which output must be positive (heating) before the control is turned off. The maximum value for this setting is 100.

Minimum Forward Off Time (sec) This setting specifies the minimum number of seconds for which the control must be off after heat is applied. The maximum value for this setting is 100.

Minimum Reverse On Time (sec) This setting specifies the minimum number of seconds for which output must be negative (cooling) before the control is turned off. The maximum value for this setting is 100.

Minimum Reverse Off Time (sec) This setting specifies the minimum number of seconds for which the control must be off after cooling is applied. The maximum value for this setting is 100.

Positive Output Accumulator The Positive Output Accumulator is the sum of the positive outputs (given in percentages up to one decimal place) measured each second. Therefore, if the following outputs are recorded over five seconds:

Then the value for the Positive Output Accumulator after five seconds will be (100.0 + 99.0 + 99.0 + 98.0 +

97.0) or 493.0.

To reset the Positive Output Accumulator, simply click Edit while the Positive Output Accumulator is highlighted and confirm the reset. This will cause the Positive Output Accumulator to be reset to zero and start accumulating values again from that point.

Negative Output Accumulator The Negative Output Accumulator is the sum of the negative outputs (given in percentages up to one decimal place) measured each second. The sum of the negative values is expressed as a positive value. This means that, if an output of -50% is recorded after one second, a value of 50 will be added to the Negative Output Accumulator. Similarly, if the following outputs are recorded over five seconds:

Then the value for the Negative Output Accumulator after five seconds will be (20.0 + 20.0 + 21.0 + 21.0 +

To reset the Negative Output Accumulator, simply click Edit while the Negative Output Accumulator is highlighted and confirm the reset. This will cause the Negative Output Accumulator to be reset to zero and start accumulating values again from that point.

Overshoot Control Logic (No/Yes)

f th

Overshoot control logic is activated when a large setpoint change occurs. I

e logic is active and a large setpoint occurs, it sets a working setpoint at an appropriate distance from the desired setpoint to prevent the PV from overshooting the desired final setpoint. When the PV reaches or crosses this working setpoint, then the logic exponentially ramps the working setpoint to the desired final setpoint.

Ramp Detect Logic (No/Yes) The Ramp Detect logic works in conjunction with the instrument recipe programmer. If the control loop is the temperature loop for the recipe programmer, and the OPCODE is a ramp, then the control loop does some special checks. If the Overshoot Control Logic is active, then the final setpoint of the ramp is used to determine the working setpoint band. However, the ramp setpoint is used until the band is reached. Also, once the band is reached, if the ramp is faster than the overshoot logic exponential ramp, then the program is temporarily put on hold as needed to sync the two ramps.

Ramp Level 1 Control (No/Yes) and Ramp Level 2 Control (No/Yes) Ramp Level 1 and 2 Control are only active if the Ramp Detect logic is active.

Ramp Level 1 Control provides mild overshoot protection during a recipe ramp.

mp Level 2 Control is only active if the Ramp Level 1 control is active.

Ra

Ramp Level 2 Control provides enhanced overshoot protection during a recipe ramp.

Output rate change limit, %/sec This option causes the 9205 controller to limit the rate at which the output changes in the furnace. For example, if the output rate change limit is 5% per second, the controller will increase the output at a rate no greater than 5% each second until the output reaches the level needed to reach setpoint. This limit can be useful in cases where (for example) a heating element should not (for operational and safety reasons) heat up to a high output immediately. If the output needs to reach 100% to achieve setpoint, the Output Rate Change Limit will apply the output incrementally, rather than allowing the output to climb to 100% as soon as the heat is turned on.

PID Switch Variable This is the parameter that triggers the PID switch. The options are Process variable and Setpoint. Note that PID Auto Switch must be set to Yes in order to use PID Switching.

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.

ZONE_OFF

If the 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.

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.

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 (513) 772-0060.

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

PVT Type There are nine PVT choices for the 9205:

%Carbon Cascade Dew Point % Carbon + Redundant TC Millivolts Dew Point + Redundant TC Multi-loop Millivolts + Redundant TC % Carbon + Dual Temp

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 97

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

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

IMPORTANT:

If the 9205 is controlling % Carbon or Dew Point, control will be disabled if either or both of

the following are true:

• Millivolts registered by probe are below 500 mV or above 1300 mV.

• Temperature registered by probe is below 900°F or above 2100°F.

Temperature Mode

This allows the operator to choose either degree Fahrenheit or Celsius for the temperature. The options

°C or °F. Pressing OK will set the choice.

End of Quench Event Tells the programmer which event to signal end of quench (related to which relay it is assigned). The default event for this is Event 7, but it can be changed in the furnace setup menu. This event turns on for one (1) minute when the quench timer is complete. The list of possible values is:

0 – 14.

Quench Speed Event Tells the programmer which event will signal the quench speed. The list of possible values is: 0 – 14.

Quench Run Event Tells the programmer which event will signal quench run. The list of possible values is: 0 – 14.

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

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.

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).
