A1. Overview

The temperature control and PID module (hereafter called “the module”) is an I/O module to be mounted on the FA-M3 base unit. The module is provided with multiple input and output circuits and performs multiple PID control functions. Figure A1.1 shows a schematic diagram of a system containing the module.
Thermocouple/RTD/Signal Converter
SSR/Relay/SCR
A1-1
Figure A1.1 Schematic Diagram Showing the Relationship between Sensors, Actuators,
Temperature Control and PID Module and CPU Module
The module is provided with four controller functions and one setup and control interface for the controller functions for controlling four loops. The controller functions can be configured to act inter-dependently or independently to support a wide variety of applications.
Three controller modes are available: single loop, cascade control, and two-input changeover control. In the single loop mode (default), individual controller functions operate independently. In the cascade or two-input changeover control mode, two controller functions are combined to act as a single controller function.
(1) Single Loop (2) Cascade Control (3) Two-input Changeover Control
Figure A1.2 Controller Modes
Controller mode, instrument ranges, set points and other parameter values required for module operation can be stored in the module to simplify operation setup at each module startup. A program will then only need to run/stop operation and switch between set points from the CPU module to achieve operation.
IM 34M06H62-02E 3rd Edition : Jul.16, 2015-00
Features
- High accuracy, high resolution, high speed
The input sampling period for four loops is 200 ms. The sampling period may be set
to 100 ms if only two loops are used. The input conversion accuracy is 0.1% of full scale, and the input resolution is 0.1C (using 5-digit representation). Low-resolution operation (using 4-digit representation) is also available.
- Universal input
The input type may be set to thermocouple, RTD, or DC voltage for each loop.
- Dynamic auto-tuning
In the dynamic auto-tuning mode, what you have to do before starting operation is to
simply set the input type, output type, and set point. The dynamic auto-tuning function automatically determines and tunes the PID parameters during operation. You may disable the function, where appropriate.
Main Differences between F3CU04-N and F3CU04-S
With the F3CU04-S module, a specific SP backup procedure needs to be executed to store set points to the EEPROM. Otherwise, set points are not stored to the EEPROM when updated.
With the F3CU04-N module, however, set points are always stored automatically when updated. This approach of storing set points unconditionally regardless of whether it is required by an application allows for easier programming and operation, but may damage the EEPROM storage media in an application where set points are constantly updated.

A2.6 Backup Function

The F3CU04-0S or F3CU04-1S temperature control and PID module provides a backup function for storing input type, input range, set points and other parameter values, and hence retaining their values even after power off and on. Parameters designated for backup are stored whenever their corresponding registers are updated, provided the backup function is not disabled. However, you need to execute a specific procedure every time to back up set point values. Otherwise, stored set points will not be updated. Even so, beware that set points will not be updated if the backup function is disabled.
Take note that there is a maximum limit to the number of write operations allowed for the backup function.
Table A2.6 Backup Function
Description
Stored parameters Number of write
operations Disable backup function
For details on the I/O data registers that are stored by the backup function and their data position numbers, see Section B2, "Types of Relays and Registers."
Controller parameters, I/O parameters, and operation parameters. For details, refer to the list of registers.
Up to 100,000 write operations allowed This parameter disables the backup function. It may be used, if required, to avoid
reaching the maximum limit for write operations.
In situations where the CPU module frequently overwrites the I/O data registers earmarked to be stored by the backup function, the maximum limit for write operations (100,000 times) may be reached. To prevent this, turn on the Disable Backup Function parameter. Once the write limit is reached, data backup is no longer allowed and the system enters hardware failure mode. Furthermore, parameter data may be reset at system startup to the default values given in Section B2, "Types of Relays and Registers."

may approach either the upper limit or the lower limit. Furthermore, the burnout relay is not set.
However +OVER or -OVER detection is performed.
Basic controller mode with one control and computation function where two loops operate independently.
Switches between two measured inputs (using a register or measured value range) and handles them as one measured input (using 2 loops of input).
Performs control by turning on (100% output) or turning off the output (0% output). *
Sets the upper and lower limits for the control output.
Sets the maximum allowable rate-of-change for the control output.
Selects between time-proportional output (open collector) and continuous output (4-20 mA analog output). Specifies a fixed value output for any output terminal not used in a control loop (e.g. when disabled).
Specifies the power supply frequency. An appropriate setting value will reduce the effect of common mode noise.
Selectable from Up-scale, Down-scale, or OFF (no burnout detection) for thermocouple or RTD input open-circuit detection. *3
Sets thermocouple reference junction compensation to ‘On’ or ‘Fixed Value’.
Specifies any temperature and its bias value. A compensation value based on the linear interpolation of the specified bias values is automatically added to a measured input. This function is particularly useful for a deteriorated sensor, for which input compensation is desirable. Specifies a fixed bias value to be automatically added to measured input values. This function is useful when a measured input suffers a fixed deviation due to a known physical problem with a sensor, or when fine adjustment of measured input is desirable for better consistency with values indicated by other equipment, even though data deviation is within tolerance. Filtering can be used to remove high frequency noise from measured inputs such as flow rate and pressure. Filtering is a first order delay numerical operation. Performs square root extraction on measured inputs. This function is useful for converting differential pressure signals (of orifice, nozzle, or other types of restriction flowmeter) to flow rate signals. Sets the two-input changeover mode to perform changeover based on temperature range, preset temperature value, or register value. External values may be used as control input values. Measured input values that have undergone required processing by a CPU module or other means, may be used as input values.

Four set points can be predefined for each loop. A predefined set point can be selected using the SP number parameter.
Defines acceleration and deceleration independently for varying the control set point at a fixed rate or to prevent an abrupt change in the control set point. When a switchover is made from Stop to Run, from Manual to Automatic, or from one SP number to another, the control set point is first set to the current PV value and then gradually changed to the required value at the rate defined by the SP gradient parameters. Automatically recalculates PID constants to achieve continuous stable control at the beginning of a control operation or when control becomes unstable. When a start tuning instruction is issued, measures the characteristics of a control object by switching on and then switching off the output, and automatically determines and sets optimal PID constants.
Defines the direction of output change (increase or decrease) corresponding to a positive deviation.
The combination of the CMD parameter (0: standard PID control mode, 1: fixed-point control mode) and the remote/local switch determines the PID control method (PV derivative type PID control or deviation derivative type PID control) with or without bumping.
Prevents excessive integration and hence overshooting by suspending PID computation. The deviation width for resuming PID computation can be set using a parameter.

A3. Startup Procedure

Install the module into your system and perform the following startup procedure.
Figure A3.1 Startup Procedure
Before you use the module, you must first design the overall system configuration, set the switches, install the module on the base unit, and perform required wiring and other hardware preparation. Following that, you will set the controller modes and input ranges using software. The software here refers to the FA-M3 Programming Tool WideField3, the BASIC Programming Tool M3 or the ToolBox for Temperature Control and Monitoring modules. The required system components when performing setup are the power supply module, the base module, the CPU module, software and a personal computer for running the software. For details on the required environment for executing the software, including specifications for the personal computer and compatible CPU modules, as well as details on how to operate the software, see the relevant software manuals.
After software setup, perform trial runs to tune parameters for optimal performance. Now, you are ready for actual operation.
Sections A4, "Hardware Preparation" and B3, "Setup and Operation" describe these procedures in detail. For details on how to access the module using software to perform setup and for more information on relays and registers, see Section B1, "Accessing the Module," and B2, "Types of Relays and Registers," respectively.

A4. Hardware Preparation

To use the temperature control and PID module, you must set the operation switches and perform wiring connections. In this chapter, we describe the details of hardware preparation. Figure A4.1 shows the workflow for hardware preparation. For details on each operation, refer to the sections indicated in the column on the right.

A4.1 Selecting Input Types and Power
Frequency
This section describes how to select appropriate input types for given temperature ranges and how to select a suitable power frequency for a given power supply environment.
Figure A4.2 shows the hardware switches for selecting input types and power frequency.
SW1-1: Temperature unit selector switch SW1-2: Power frequency selector switch SW1-3: Input type selector switch SW1-4: Input type selector switch
SW5: Input type selector switch
(Input type is determined by the combined values of SW1-3, SW1-4, and SW5.)
A4-2
Note: This is the right side view of the module with its cover removed.
Figure A4.2 Input Types and Power Frequency Selector Switches
Use switches SW1-1, SW1-3, SW1-4 and SW5 to perform input setup. SW1-4 and SW5 together specifies an input type, which apply to all loops, while SW1-3 specifies a resolution and SW1-1 specifies the temperature unit for all loops. For the various switch combinations and their corresponding input type and resolution values, see Table 4.1, “Input Type Selection”.
Use SW1-2 to select a power frequency corresponding to the AC power used in the equipment. For the mapping between SW1-2 and frequency, see Table 4.2, “Power Frequency Settings”. Selecting an appropriate power frequency will reduce interference from common mode noise.
You can also set input types and power frequenc y using data registers. To do so, set the input type selector switches to “set by software”, that is, “SW5=0; SW1-4=OFF”. This will mean that the power frequency will also have to be set using data registers. The factory switch setting is “set by software.”
For details on input type selection and power frequency selection, see Section C3.1, “Input Type Selection” and Section C3.2, “Power Frequency Selection” respectively.
Always turn off the power before performing switch setup.
You may switch the temperature unit between C and F using SW1-1. For details, see Section C11, “Selecting Temperature Unit.”

A4.2 Attaching/Detaching Modules

After setting hardware switches, attach the module to the base unit. This section describes the procedure for attaching/detaching the module and the necessary precautions.
Attaching Modules
Figure A4.3 shows how to attach this module to the base module. First hook the anchor slot at the bottom of the module to be attached onto the anchor pin on the bottom of the base module. Push the top of this module towards the base module until the anchor/release button clicks into place.
A4-6
Always switch off the power before attaching or detaching a module.
Figure A4.3 Attaching Modules
CAUTION
DO NOT bend the connector on the rear of the module by force during the above operation. If the module is pushed with improper force, the connector may bend causing an error.
IM 34M06H62-02E 2nd Edition : June 2008-00
Detaching Modules
To remove this module from the base module, reverse the above operation. Press the anchor/release button on the top of this module to unlock it and tilt the module away from the base module. Then lift the module off the anchor pin at the base.
Attaching Modules in Intense Vibration Environments
If the module is used in intense vibration environments, fasten the module with a screw. Use screws of type listed in the table below. Insert these screws into the screw holes on top of the module and tighten them with a Phillips screwdriver.

A4.3 Wiring

After attaching the module to the base module, connect the input and output signal wires to the module. This section describes wiring precautions. Actual wiring can be performed before or after program creation, at your convenience.
A4.3.1 Wiring Precautions
To wire the module, see Section A4.3.2, “Terminal Wiring Diagram” and observe the following precautions.
(1) For thermocouples with a terminal box, use the specified compensating wire. (2) For resistance temperature detector (RTD) input, use a lead wire with low
resistance (10 /wire max.) with the three wires having identical resistance. (3) To protect the input circuitry against noise, observe the following precautions. (a) The wiring for the input circuit must be kept as far away as possible from the
power supply or grounding circuitry.
(b) Twisting the input wire at short equal intervals may be effective against
interference from electromagnetic-induced noise.
(c) Using a shielded wire may effectively protect against static-induced noise.
Strip off the outer shield to expose the wire, and ground it with an FG clamp. (two-point grounding should be avoided.)
(d) Attach a ferrite core to the wire near the exit of the panel enclosure to reduce
the effect of noise if the input wiring leads outside the panel enclosure.

Figure A4.6 Surge Suppressor
If you configure an output terminal as an open collector and have it drive an auxiliary relay or other inductive load, install a surge suppressor as described above. If the output terminal is subjected to a surge voltage exceeding the maximum allowable rating of the output circuit, the circuit may be damaged permanently.
(6) If you have an open collector driving a solid state relay (SSR), install a bleeder
resistor across the SSR terminals. The resistance should be determined, taking
into consideration the off leakage current of the output terminal and the SSR's
recovery voltage. For instance, if the SSR's recovery voltage is 1 V or more, the
resistance of the bleeder resistor should be 10 k (= 1 V/0.1 mA) or less.
If you configure an output terminal as an open collector and have it drive an SSR, install a bleeder resistor as described above. Note that the SSR may fail to turn off depending on the OFF-leakage current, the resistance of the bleeder resistor and the SSR's recovery voltage. For details, see the user's manual for the SSR.

TIP
A “” mark in the “Interrupt” column denotes that the module allows an interrupt to be sent to the CPU module when the input relay changes from 0 to 1. This allows a program on the CPU module to easily detect, say , an alarm. For details on interrupt handling, read the instruction manual for the software used.
TIP
Input relays are refreshed at intervals defined by the input sampling period (100 or 200 ms) of the module, except that the HOUT.R and COUT.R relays are refreshed at refreshing intervals for output terminals (1/1000 of cycle time or 10 ms, whichever is longer).

B2.2 Types of Registers

This module is provided with input/output data registers for configuring module operation and reading operation status. Registers for configuration include basic setup elements, as well as supplementary setup elements for supporting various modes of operation. Set these registers appropriately to suit the intended usage. In addition to registers for reading the status of individual loops, other registers are provided to store process data for all loops, arranged sequentially within a data area.

Common Precautions for Registers
B2-3
CAUTION
Only registers listed in Table B2.3 and subsequent tables are valid data registers provided with this module. Any number missing from the “Data Position Number” column in these tables is omitted intentionally. When a value written to a valid data register exceeds the valid data range, as indicated in the “Data Range” column in these tables, the written value is ignored and the original value is restored. An out-of-range value written to a controller parameter or I/O parameter, however, remains and is returned as read data until an instruction is executed to enable the parameter, at which time, the out-of-range value will be restored to the original value. At the same time, an error status is returned.
Any data written to a read-only (R/O) data register is ignored and does not affect module operation. However, if the register is read immediately after the write operation (for example, within the same scan of the sequence program), the written value may be returned.
Any data written to an undefined register or a register that is considered invalid for a module type or controller mode is ignored and does not affect module operation. If the register is read after the write operation, however, the written value or a register-specific value may be returned. The register-specific value may or may not be a constant value.
CAUTION
The “Attribute” column in a table indicates whether a register can be read and written. “RO” indicates a read-only register, whilst “RW” indicates a register that can be read, as well as written.
A “” mark in the “Stored” column indicates that the content of the register is stored, and need not be re-written to the module after power off and on. When changing the value of a stored register, beware, however, that there is a maximum limit to the number of write operations allowed on the EEPROM. By default, writing to a stored register automatically updates the data stored in the EEPROM. To suspend this updating of the EEPROM, you should disable the backup function.
CAUTION
You need to execute a specific procedure every time to back up set point values. Otherwise, stored set points will not be updated.
CAUTION
Up to 100,000 write operations to the EEPROM are allowed. Beware that this write limit may be exceeded if registers with a “” mark in the “Stored” column are frequently updated. In such situations, you should disable the backup function by setting “NBKUP=1”. Note, however, that the NBKUP register value itself is not stored, and is always reset to 0 at power up.

You should disable the backup function if you expect param eters that are designated to be automatically stored to be frequently updated. By default, the module automatically stores the values of such parameters to the EEPROM each time they are updated. If parameter values are frequently updated and the number of write executions exceeds the maximum limit of 100,000, EEPROM may fail and subsequent storing is not guaranteed. Therefore, in situations where stored parameters are frequently updated, you should always disable the backup function using the NBKUP parameter.
CAUTION
The EEPROM write counter counts the number of write-to-EEPROM executions, but not the number of write executions to individual data position numbers.

B2.2.10 I/O Parameters
The I/O parameters are classified into two categories: required and optional. The required setup parameters must always be checked and set, and the optional setup parameters may be set as required. All I/O parameters apply to individual loops.
The required setup parameters are input type selection and control type selection parameters. They are the most basic loop setup elements.
The optional setup parameters include PV-related parameters for changing the input range and selecting a burnout operation, as well as parameters that are used only in two-input changeover mode.
I/O Type Settings
These parameters are used to select input types (ranges) and output control types for individual loops. These parameters are the most basic loop setup elements.

Changing an I/O parameter initializes operation parameters. Therefore, always set I/O parameters before setting operation parameters.
CAUTION
You must observe some precautions when writing to the module. For details, see Section B1.3, “Writing and Reading after Powering On.”
IM 34M06H62-02E 2nd Edition : June 2008-00
B2.2.11 Operation Parameters
There are two types of operation parameters: PID parameters and function settings. The PID parameters include set point, proportional band, integral time, derivative time, and alarm preset value parameters. The function settings include the two-input changeover-related, SP-related, PV-related, operation-related, and alarm-related function settings.
Unlike controller parameters and I/O parameters, operation parameters need not be enabled before taking effect. The module checks the contents of the I/O data registers for any change at input sampling intervals, and automatically enables any changes if the new values are within valid data range. If new values are out of range, the module discards them and restores the registers to their original values.
B2-15
WARNING
You should disable the backup function if you expect param eters that are designated to be automatically stored to be frequently updated. By default, the module automatically stores the values of such parameters to the EEPROM each time they are updated. If parameter values are frequently updated and the number of write executions exceeds the maximum limit of 100,000, EEPROM may fail and subsequent storing is not guaranteed. Therefore, in situations where stored parameters are frequently updated, you should always disable the backup function using the NBKUP parameter.
CAUTION
Changing a controller parameter or I/O parameter initializes operation parameters. Therefore, always set controller parameters and I/O parameters before operation parameters.
CAUTION
You must observe some precautions when writing to the module. For details, see Section B1.3, “Writing and Reading after Powering On.”

PID Parameters
Use these parameters to configure PID control-related functions for individual loops. They can be used for specifying set points, alarm preset values, proportional band, integral time, and derivative time. Up to four parameter groups can be defined for each loop.
CAUTION
You need to execute a specific procedure every time to update stored set point values. Otherwise, stored set points will not be updated so the parameters revert to their last stored values whenever the module is turned off and then on again. For details, see Section B2.4, "How to Back up SP Values to EEPROM."

TIP
How switching of a PID parameter group is carried out depends on the PID selection method. Normally , it is controlled by the SP Number Selection (SPNO) operation control parameter. In Zone PID mode, the proportional band, integral time and other PID control-related parameters are switched according to the zone PID setting. For details on the Zone PID mode, see Section C6.9, "PID Selection Method (SP Number Selection, Zone PID Selection)."

B2.3 How to Enable Settings

Parameters described in Section B2.2.7, “controller Parameters,” and Section B2.2.10, “I/O Parameters,” must be enabled before their settings can take effect. This section describes how to enable various settings and check for successful completion.
Table B2.25 lists the input relays and Table B2.26 lists the I/O data registers that are used for enabling controller parameters and I/O parameters.
Write '1: Enable setup instruction operand' to SETUP. Next, write the required parameter values and then enable them by writing the appropriate setup instruction operand value to OPE. If the parameters fail to be enabled, a non-zero value is returned in STUS, indicating an error. Correct the error and retry. After confirming that there is no error, end the procedure by setting SETUP to '0: Disable setup instruction operand'.

Description Explanation
Enables the controller parameters, which are the most basic setup elements. The module initializes I/O parameters and operation parameters based on the controller parameter values. Enables the I/O Type Selection parameter, which defines the input type and control output type. The module initializes input range settings, PV range settings and Operation parameters based on the input type selection parameter value. Enables the input range settings, which sets up the PV as required. The module initializes PV range settings and operation parameters based on these settings. Enables the PV range settings, which are required only in Two-input Changeover mode. The module initializes operation parameters based on these settings.
*1 Input type and power frequency selection defined by the hardware switches have precedence over software settings.
CAUTION
Writing to the Setup Instruction Operand (OPE) register a value, which is not listed in Table B2.27, “Setup Instruction Operand (OPE) Values,” has no effect on module operation. When the setup operation completes, the Setup Instruction Operand (OPE) register resets to 0.

CAUTION
The OPE register functions only when the module is in Setup mode. Accessing the OPE register before transiting to Setup mode generates an error, and returns an error value of –32767 in the STUS register.
CAUTION
Always finishing enabling all required settings, always set SETUP to '0: Disable setup instruction operand'. With SETUP set to '1: Enable setup instruction operand', no I/O refreshing or control computation can be executed.

State Transition
The operating states of the module can be classified into 3 types. For details on how to transit to a new state and check for successful transition, as well as details on the content of registers and relays in each state, see Table B.2.28, “Content of Registers and Relays in Each Operating State”.

B2-22
When power is turned on, the module enters startup state.
Startup completes (Transition from Startup state to normal operation)
When startup completes, the module enters Normal Operation state. The MDLRDY relay automatically turns on, to indicate that the module has entered Normal Operation state. Normal Operation State begins in Stop mode and Automatic mode.
Setup instruction (Transition from normal operation to Setup mode)
Writing a value of 1 to the Setup register initiates a transition to Setup mode. When the transition completes, the SETUP.R relay turns on to indicate that the module has entered Setup mode.
Exit from Setup (Transition from Setup mode to Startup state)
Writing a value of 0 to the Setup register initiates an exit from Setup mode. When the exit completes, the Setup.R relay resets, and the module transits to Startup state. The MDLRDY relay resets to indicate that the module is in Startup state.

Procedure for Enabling Controller and I/O Parameter Values
Figure B2.3 illustrates the procedure for enabling controller parameter and I/O parameter values. Two I/O data registers, namely, SETUP and OPE, are used to enable settings, whilst three relays (SETUP.R, CMDRDY, MDLRDY) and one input data register (STUS) are used to check for successful execution.
Figure B2.3 Procedure for Enabling Controller Parameters and I/O Parameters
B2-23
(1) Write a value of 1 to the SETUP register to transit to Setup mode and enable the OPE
register. To confirm that the module is now in Setup mode, check that the SETUP.R relay has turned on. In Setup mode, the module suspends refreshing of data registers
and the control output value is “0%”. (2) Write the new parameter value. (3) Write to the OPE register an appropriate OPE value to initiate the process for
enabling the new parameter value. (4) The module resets the CMDRDY relay as the setup process begins. It then resets the
OPE register to 0, initializes the related parameters, writes the exit status to the STUS
register, and finally turns on the CMDRDY relay upon setup completion. Therefore, to
confirm setup completion, check that CMDRDY has turned on. (5) Read the STUS register to determine if setup is successful. During setup, the module
performs range checks on all registers within the range to be enabled, in ascending
order of their data position numbers. If it finds an out-of-range register value, it
restores the original register value and returns the data position number of the
register in the STUS register. Note that only the first error register number is returned,
although range check is performed over all registers within the range to be enabled.
You may repeat steps 2 to 5 to enable other settings as required. (6) Finally, write a value of 0 to the SETUP register to exit from Setup mode. The module
initializes the operation parameters according to the new settings. The same
precautions about module startup apply to this initialization. For details, see Section
B1.3, “Writing and Reading after Powering On”.
IM 34M06H62-02E 2nd Edition : June 2008-00
B2-24
CAUTION
The STUS register is a read-only register, which is updated after execution of each setup instruction. When executing a sequence of setup instructions, check the STUS register after each execution to determine if setup is successful.
CAUTION
If a sequence program has a long execution cycle, a rising edge in the CMDRDY relay may fail to be detected. In such situations, confirm completion of setup by checking that the OPE register is reset to 0.
CAUTION
Always confirm that transition to Setup mode has been completed before writing to the OPE register. If data is written to the OPE register before transition has completed, the setup process will not start.
CAUTION
Always write new parameter values before executing the corresponding setup instruction to enable the parameter values. Otherwise, the written values will be ignored.
Sample Program for Setting Controller and I/O parameters
The sample program shown below writes a list of controller and I/O parameters sequentially on the rising edge of /I00001. It disables the backup function as it sets up the parameters each time the sequence program runs. The controller and I/O parameters set up by the sample program include power frequency selection, input type, input range, and scale parameters. You may modify the sample program to set up other controller and I/O parameters to suit your application.
After returning from Setup mode, the sample program sets up operation parameters. Y ou may modify the program to set up other operation parameters as required. As operation parameters are automatically initialized whenever input range and other I/O parameters or controller parameters are modified, you must set them again if I/O or controller parameters are modified. No special procedure is required to enable operation parameter values, which take effect once written.
IM 34M06H62-02E 2nd Edition : June 2008-00
This sample program writes the following parameter values sequentially, and then enables these values.
- Controller parameters: Power frequency selection = 60 Hz
- I/O parameters: input type selection for loop1 = Type K -200 to 1000C (I/O type settings) input type selection for loop2 = Type K -200 to 500C (I/O type settings) input type selection for loop3 = DC voltage 1-5 V (I/O type settings) input type selection for loop4 = DC voltage 0-5 V (I/O type settings) RL and RH for loop1 = 0C for RL, 1000C for RH (input range settings) RL and RH for loop2 = 0C for RL, 500C for RH (input range settings) RL and RH for loop4 = 0 V for RL, 2 V for RH (input range settings) SL and SH for loop3 = 0 for SL, 20000 for SH (input range settings) SL and SH for loop4 = 0 for SL, 10000 for SH (input range settings)
- Operation parameters: PID parameter for loops 1-4 = file register values
For the I/O parameters, the sample program first sets up the I/O types and then the input ranges.

B2.4 How to Back up SP Values to EEPROM

The SP backup function is provided for writing SP values to the EEPROM so that these parameter values are retained even after power off and on. In situations where you want to predefine SP values so that they are valid right after power on, back up the values to the EEPROM using the procedure given below. The SP backu p function, when executed, writes all SP values of all loops (1.SP.1 to 4.SP.4) to the EEPROM. Unless you perform this procedure, SP values are not stored, and revert to their last stored values after power off and on. However, beware that SP backup will not be executed if the parameter backup function is disabled using the NBKUP parameter.
TIP
Updated SP values take effect immediately regardless of whether they are backed up to EEPROM. There is no need to execute the SP backup function if SP values need not be retained.

CAUTION
The SP backup function cannot be executed as long as the module is put into Setup mode for the purpose of enabling controller and I/O parameter settings. After ensuring that controller and I/O parameter settings are enabled, set up the required SP parameters and then perform SP backup.
CAUTION
The SP backup function is available only with the F3CU04-1S and F3CU04-0S modules of firmware revision 6 or higher. It is not available with F3CU04-1N or F3CU04-0N. You can determine the revision of a module’s firmware from the REV value indicated on the nameplate located on the side of the module, or from the value of the REV register (data position number 90). As an example, “REV 06:05” on the nameplate denotes firmware revision 6 and hardware revision 5.
IM 34M06H62-02E 2nd Edition : June 2008-00
Procedure for Writing SP Values to EEPROM
After writing the required SP values, write “WR” or hexadecimal string “$5752” to the SPWR register to initiate backup of the SP values to the EEPROM. You can write the SP values and perform SP backup even within the same scan. After backup is completed, the module turns on the SPWR.R relay. Writing “WR” or hexadecimal string “$5752” to the SPWR register executes SP backup only once. To repeat SP backup, you need to first write a value of 0 to the SPWR register, and after confirming that the SPWR.R relay is reset, again write “WR” or hexadecimal string “$5752” to the SPWR register.

B3. Setup and Operation

The module is provided with multiple built-in controller functions to support various forms of operations. Before you can use the module, you must select and configure the controller functions. This chapter describes the basic workflow from setup to operation.
For details on individual functions, see Part C, “Function Description”. For details on module access, use Chapter B1, “Accessing the Module.”
Figure B3.1 Procedure from Setup to Operation
B3-1
Figure B3.1 shows the procedure flow from setup to operation. Updating a parameter may inadvertently affect (initialize) other parameters, and thus it is important that you perform setup in the sequence described above.
Section B3.1, “Setting Controller Parameters” describes how to combine loops to match a specific usage and perform other module-wide setup. Section B3.2, “Setting I/O Parameters” describes how to set up basic I/O-related elements, such as input type selection and input range for individual loops. Section B3.3, “Setting Operation Parameters” describes the operation-related parameters, as well as how to start the auto-tuning function (when dynamic auto-tuning is not selected). Lastly, Section B3.4, “Operation” describes operation-relat ed procedures.

B3.1 Setting Controller Parameters

Controller parameters are used for performing module-wide setup to suit the operating environment and mode of use. They define the most basic operations of the module.
The setup elements are described in Sections B3.1.1, “Power Frequency Selection”, B3.1.2, “Input Sampling Period,” B3.1.3, “Controller Mode” and B3.1.4, “Setting Output Terminals.” You should set these parameters to match the operating and usage environment. The controller parameters must be enabled before any written content can take effect. For details on how to enable parameter settings, see Section B2.3, “How to Enable Settings.”
B3-2
CAUTION
Changing a controller parameter initializes the parameters of the module. Always set controller parameters before other parameters.

B3.1.3 Controller Mode
The controller mode parameters configure how loops are combined. The module supports the single loop, two-input changeover, and cascade control modes. In the two-input changeover or cascade control mode, two loops are combined and used as one.
Single Loop Mode
B3-3
This is the standard mode of use. In this mode, each loop operates independently, and is
configured separately. The description from Section B3.2, “Setting I/O Parameters,” to Section B3.4, “Operation,” assumes the use of the single loop mode.

The description from Section B3.2, “Setting I/O Parameters,” to Section B3.4, “Operation,” assumes the use of the single loop mode. For details on setup and operation unique to the two-input changeover mode, see Section C1.3, “Two-input Changeover Control."
This mode uses two loops connected in series, with one serving as the primary loop and the other as the secondary loop.

B3.1.4 Setting Output Terminals
Output terminal setup defines the control output from each output terminal. Use the Output Type Selection (OUTPUT) parameter to select continuous analog output or open collector output for each terminal. Use the Output Terminal Selection (OUTSEL 1-8) parameters to map individual output terminals to control output preset values.

B3.2 Setting I/O Parameters

I/O parameters are classified into two categories: required I/O parameters that must be checked and set, and optional I/O parameters that can be set as required. All I/O parameters apply to individual loops.
The required parameters are described in Sections B3.2.1, “Input Type Selection,” and B3.2.2, "Control Type Selection."
Optional I/O parameters are used for changing the input range, for selecting burnout detection, as well as for setting the upper and lower limits of the PV range when using Two-input Changeover control.
For details on functions selectable with optional I/O parameters, see Chapter C3, “PV-related Functions”.
I/O parameters must be enabled before any written content can take effect. For details on how to enable parameter settings, see Section B2.3, “How to Enable Settings.”

CAUTION
Changing an I/O parameter initializes operation parameters and other related I/O parameters. Therefore, always set I/O parameters before setting operation parameters.
