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
Page 7
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.

Chapter 1 - Overview
The 9205 is SSi’s versatile atmosphere programmable controller with Ethernet, RS485 Modbus,
and DF1 communications to various slave devices such as temperature controllers, flow meters,
and PLCs. This instrument can be used to address many thermal processing applications where
temperature and carbon control along with event I/O management are necessary. The 9205 has
math block capability allowing custom calculations and custom Modbus mapping for
communications
The 9205 recipe programmer includes 24 independent steps per recipe with operational codes
(opcodes) to enable effective process control. The 9205 also supports multiple user interface
screens for more flexibility. Screen sizes include 3.5”, 5.7” and 12.1”. Functionality added to the
screens include “stylus” notes entry, user defined data points and trend charts for paperless
chart recording, zoom and pan touch screen control on the charting screen, and remote data
retrieval through Ethernet.

The Model 9205 is powered by 24 VDC, not LINE Voltage. Please be careful when connecting
power to this controller. Connecting anything other than 24 VDC will cause serious damage.
The variety of input and output combinations allows SSi to configure the Model 9205 to control
temperature and atmosphere.
The product is available in three different screen sizes. 3.5”, 5.7” and 12”.
Mounting
The Series 9205 Operator Interface mounts into a panel or on a plate by using the enclosed
mounting brackets. A rectangular cutout is required; the size of the cutout is determined by the
operator interface size. These units, along with an optional SSi SR3, 6, or 9 analog input board,
will mount on a commercially available DIN rail. This can be mounted on the sub-panel on the
side of an enclosure for the convenience of the control system.

Wiring
Wiring to the Series 9205 operator interface can be done using 232 or 485 to two connectors, comm1 (232)
or comm3 (485). The terminal strip on the lower right rear corner of the operator interface is used to
connect 24VDC power. The DB-9 port A connection is used to connect the display via 232 to the Series 9205
PID controller. The controller is connected via RS485 communication to the single-loop controllers.
Electrical Installation
The Model 9205 requires 24VDC, 4 Watt, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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:
Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 31
Page 33
Output (in %)
Seconds Passed
-20.0
1
-20.0
2
-21.0
3
-21.0
4
-22.0
5
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
Page 34
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.

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 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 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.
Atm Source
This will allow the user to set the atmosphere instrument for the zone assignment. The options are
Temp Zone Number
This option will allow the user to set the zone number for the assignment. The range is 0 – 5.

%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.

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:

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

Process Low
Band, Normally Open
Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 46
for more information on factory
Page 48
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.

The 9205 controller has the option of six 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
Analog outputs 3, 4, 5, and 6 are enabled by use of an
SSi QuadDAC board that connects to two RS485
terminals on the 9205 (terminals 5 and 6 for Slave 1,
terminals 22 and 23 for Slave 2). Use the

This is a Process Variable value between 4 and 20 milliamps (or 0 and 20 milliamps, depending on setup).
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.

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,
do not use
regular thermocouple wiring.
Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 58
Page 60
Instead, use any kind of regular sensor wire, or even regular copper wire. To perform the calibrations, the
user will need a calibrator that is capable of outputting volts, millivolts, and temperature.
The “Zero/Span” tab will allow the user to perform a zero and span calibration on the selected board.
The help button - - next to the “Range” drop-down list will allow the user to select a range based upon

Overview
The series 9205 can be calibrated using the
Touchscreen interface. Before performing this
procedure on a newly installed controller, the unit
needs to be powered on for at least 30 minutes for a
warm up period.
The series 9205 has three analog inputs. Each range has
a zero and span calibration value. A cold junction trim
value must be calibrated for thermocouple inputs. There
are two analog outputs each with a zero and span value.
To calibrate an input or output, select the desired option and continue.
Note – Even though the “Cold
Junction” option is listed first, the inputs and outputs should have the zero and span calibration performed
BEFORE performing a cold junction calibration
.
Equipment needed
A certified calibrator(s) with the ability to input and read millivolts, milliamps and thermocouples is
required. The appropriate connection leads are also required. A 24VDC 75-watt power supply is required.
Notes
Input 1 – terminals 31 and 32

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

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

The Compact Database button will compact the mb.sdf database file that is located on the Touchscreen.
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.

The following types of maintenance items can be programmed:
•Timed Event. A timed event is a maintenance event
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

•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

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

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.

Aux Setpoint Configuration
Aux Setpoint Configuration is an automatic setpoint
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 setpoint is dropped. This feature would most
commonly be used to keep the alarm setpoint of an
overtemp tracking the furnace's main setpoint (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.
Note: If the setpoint is 0, then the retransmission is

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.

Systems at (513) 772-0060 before creating or modifying
any Instrument Calculation customization.
General Description
The Instrument Calculation allows for fifty (50) lines of
program and fifty (50) program variables. Program
variables allow for storage on intermediate results of
calculations.
A program variable is designated by a v followed by a number from 0 to the number of variables – 1.
A Lower or Upper case “V” is valid, as well as leading zeroes. The following are all considered the same
variable: V3, v3, v0003.
The 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

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)

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

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.

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:
Series 9205 Operations Manual Rev A 88
Page 90
Then the value for the Negative Output Accumulator after five seconds will be (20.0 + 20.0 + 21.0 + 21.0 +
or 104.
22.0)
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.

%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.

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
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
Note: The date and time of the touch screen can be changed (if necessary) by selecting the date and
PM.
time in the lower right corner on the touch screen, once the screen software has been shut down 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
.
Cascade Inhibit
Note: This field is only applicable if the controller is in Cascade mode
off. When inhibit = enabled, the 9205 functions as a multi-loop controller with three control loops. The
options are:
PV Difference Cutback
enabled or disabled.
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:
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

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