Model UT520 Digital Indicating Controller is an intelligent,
micro-processor based digital indicating controller with
powerful control capability and the user-friendly large
numerical display. The UT520 features as standard many
functions which are necessary for various control applications, and all of these functions such as control function,
control computation function, signal computation function,
etc. can be configured by using the keys on the front panel.
The instrument has eight types of control strategies and
also an overshoot suppressing function "SUPER" and a
hunting suppressing function "SUPER 2" as well as an
auto-tuning function built in as standard. Panel size is
small, 48 mm (width)

■Main Features
• High resolution display of 5 digits. Since LEDs of 12 mm
height are used for displaying measured values, the display
is clearly read.
• The front panel size is 48 mm (width) × 96 mm (height)
and the depth is 100 mm, designed for saving space.
• Eight types of control function, including single-loop
control, cascade control, loop control with PV autoselector, and loop control with PV-hold function, enabling
the operator to start control operation immediately after
simply entering the settings.
• Parameter can be easily set using a personal computer.
("Parameter setting tool (model LL100)" sold separately is
required.)
• Universal input and output enables users to set or change
freely the type of measured inputs, measurement input
range, type of control output, etc. from the front panel.
• Contact inputs (up to 4 points) and contact outputs (up to
4 points)
assigned to each contact (The maximum number of points
varies depending on the specification code.)
• Various communication function are provided.
Communication is possible with personal computer,
programable logic controller, and other controllers.

■Functional Specifications
● Control Functions
UT Mode
The following types of basic control structure can be set as
the UT mode by the user.
Single-loop control (UT mode 1):
Cascade primary-loop control (UT mode 2):
Cascade secondary-loop control (UT mode 3):
The most simple and basic control function.
Output tracking function and cascade control
logic are provided. Suitable for primary-loop
cascade control.
Setpoint output and the cascade control logic
are provided. Suitable for secondary-loop
cascade control.
UT520
UT520E
“E” indicates the model
with expanded functions.
Cascade control (UT mode 4):
Dual control function for cascade control is
available in a single instrument.
Loop control for back-up (UT mode 5):
Output tracking function is provided to back
up another control instrument. The local and
remote control outputs are switched by a
contact input.
Loop control with PV switching (UT mode 6):
Two measured inputs are switched for control
depending on the status of contact input or
measured input.
Loop control with PV auto-selector (UT mode 7):
Two measured inputs are automatically
selected for control with a high, low, or
average, or temperature-difference value
selector.
Loop control with PV-hold function (UT mode 8):
This control holds a PV input and a control
output if an external sensor is switched.
● Control Computation Functions
In each UT mode, the following control computation
functions can be selected.
Continuous PID control, Time-proportional
PID control, and Relay ON/OFF control.
Target setpoint and PID parameters:
Maximum eight sets of target setpoint and PID
parameters can be set. These eight sets can be
set for both the main and slave loops in
cascade control.
Zone PID selection:
Dividing measuring range into maximum 7
zones by maximum 6-reference points, PID
parameter set switching in up to 7 measured
input zones.
Auto-tuning:
Available as standard. Possible to activate
auto-tuning for both main and slave loops for
cascade control.
When the instrument is in STOP mode,
measured input is burnt-out, or an abnormality
is found in an input circuit, a preset value is
output as a control output.
"SUPER" function:
Overshoots generated by abrupt changes in the
target setpoint or by disturbances can be
suppressed.
"SUPER 2" function:
The function stabilizes the state of control that
is unstable due to hunting, etc. without
requiring any change in PID constants, when
the load and/or gain varies greatly, or when
there is a difference between the characteristics of temperature zones.
Control cycle time
Each cycle time can be selected under the
following conditions.:
50 ms:Available for model code UT520-00, when
UT mode is set to Single-loop control and
the following functions are not used:
"SUPER" function, "SUPER 2" function,
PV input computation, setpoint rate-ofchange limiter, MV output rate-of-change
limiter, deviation alarm, sensor grounding
alarm, fault diagnosis alarm, and FAIL
output.
100 ms:Available when UT mode is not cascade
control.
200 ms:Available when UT mode is cascade control.
(Set value on shipped from the factory: 200 ms)
Operation Mode Switching
(Note: Communication enables all the following
mode switching to be executed.)
AUTO/MANUAL switching:
Bumpless switching between automatic
operation mode and manual control mode is
available by using the front keys or contact
input. The contact input has priority over
front key input or switching by communication. The contact input is invalid for Cascade
secondary-loop control or Cascade control.
RUN/STOP switching:
Switching by contact input (bumpless for
switching from STOP to RUN). The contact
input has priority over switching by communication. In RUN mode, control computation is
activated. In STOP mode, control computation ceases and a preset value is output as a
control output while other functions operate
normally.
REMOTE/LOCAL switching:
Switching between remote setpoint and local
setpoint by instrument operation or contact
input. The contact input has priority over
instrument operation or switching by
communication. For remote to local switching, either bumpless tracking (employing the
remote setpoint on switching as the local
setpoint) or without tracking (directly
switching the local setpoint) can be specified.
CASCADE/AUTO/MANUAL switching:
Switching by instrument operation or contact
input. The contact input has priority over
instrument operation or switching by
communication. Valid for Cascade second-
Output tracking ON/OFF switching:
ary-loop control or Cascade control.
Provided for Cascade primary-loop control or
Loop control for backup. External tracking
signal and internal control output are switched
by the contact input. The contact input has
priority over the switching by communication.
Control Parameters Setting Range
Proportional band: 0.1 to 999.9%
Integral time: 1 to 6,000 s, or OFF (for Manual reset)
Derivative time: 1 to 6,000 s, or OFF

Output limiter:
Setting range: -5.0 to 105.0% for both high
and low limits
However, "low limit setpoint < high limit
setpoint" must be satisfied.

20 mA output, control output can be output
down to about 0 mA (shutdown is specified
for -5.0% or less).
Rate-of-change limiter for output:
OFF or 0.1 to 100.0%/s

Alarm hysteresis: 0.0 to 100.0% of measured
input range span
Delay timer:

An alarm is output when the delay timer
expires after the alarm setpoint is reached.
Setting for each alarm is possible.
Stand-by action can be set to make PV/
deviation alarm OFF during start-up or after
SP change until SP reaches the normal region.
Timer function (stabilization of control status notification
event) (Alarm 1 only):
This function sets the alarm 1 output to ON
when a preset time (timer setting) elapses after
a PV has reached to the control target setpoint
hysteresis band to notify that processing has
completed. Restarted in RUN/STOP or SP
switching.
Other alarm actions:
Sensor grounding alarm: Detects sensor deterioration and
outputs an alarm.
Fault-diagnosis alarm: For input burnout, A/D conver-
sion error, or thermocouple reference
junction compensation error.
FAIL output: Abnormality in software or hardware.

The alarm status can be read via communication in addition to output as the above alarm
output.

the alarm 4 output relay.)
Any of PV alarm, deviation alarm, SP alarm, output alarm,
Fault-diagnosis alarm, sensor grounding alarm and FAIL
output can be assigned to contacts for the above number of
outputs. However, the timer delay alarm can be assigned
to the alarm 1 output only. Also, the alarm 4 only can be
assigned to the control output relay (if a relay is not used
for control output).
