Infrared communications
The infrared connection provides a non-intrusive wireless connection with the instrument
and maintains NEMA4X AND IP66 integrity.

Introduction
No need to get access to the back of the controller to communicate with the instrument,
no need to take your screw driver to wire the communication cable, no wiring mistake
possible. You can now duplicate an instrument’s configuration, upload or download a
new configuration in a matter of seconds, just by pointing your Pocket PC in the direction
of the instrument.
It takes just a few seconds to upload a configuration from an instrument. You can then
save the configuration file onto your PC or pocket PC for review, modification or
archiving. Furthermore, this software also gives you important maintenance information
on the controller: instantly, get information on the current operating parameters, digital
inputs and alarm status, identify internal or analog input problems.
Question: What if I have several controllers on the same panel? How can I be sure I am
communicating with the correct one?
Answer: The infrared port of the controller is normally “off”. You activate the infrared
port by pressing any controller’s key. You can now communicate. After 4 minutes, the
port will be shut down again. Also, in the Communications Group “IR ENABLE” may be
disabled to prohibit IR communications.

ATTENTION
Alarm relays are designed to operate in a failsafe mode (that is, de-energized during alarm sate).
This results in alarm actuation when power is OFF or when initially applied, until the unit
completes self diagnostics. If power is lost to the unit, the alarms will de-energize and thus the
alarm contacts will close.

2.5 Mounting
Physical Considerations
The controller can be mounted on either a vertical or tilted panel using the mounting kit
supplied. Adequate access space must be available at the back of the panel for installation
and servicing activities.
• Overall dimensions and panel cutout requirements for mounting the controller are
shown in Figure 2-2.
• The controller’s mounting enclosure must be grounded according to CSA standard
C22.2 No. 0.4 or Factory Mutual Class No. 3820 paragraph 6.1.5.
• The front panel is moisture rated NEMA3 and IP55 rated and can be easily upgraded
to NEMA4X and IP66.

• For water-protected installation four mounting clips are required. There are two
options of where to install the mounting clips: 1) Insert the prongs of the clips into
the two holes on the left and right side of the top and bottom of the case or 2) on
the center on each of the four sides (Figure 2-3).
• Tighten screws to 2 lb-inch (22 N•cm) to secure the case against the panel.
CAUTION: Over tightening will cause distortion and the unit may not seal properly.
4 For water-protected installation, install four screws with washers into the four recessed
areas in the corners of the front bezel (Figure 2-3). Push the point of the screw through
the center piercing the elastomeric material and then tighten screws to 5 lb-in (56
N•cm).

2.6 Wiring
2.6.1 Electrical Considerations
Line voltage wiring
This controller is considered “rack and panel mounted equipment” per EN61010-1,
Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory
Use, Part 1: General Requirements. Conformity with 72/23/EEC, the Low Voltage
Directive requires the user to provide adequate protection against a shock hazard. The
user shall install this controller in an enclosure that limits OPERATOR access to the rear
terminals.
Mains Power Supply
This equipment is suitable for connection to 90 to 250 Vac or to 24 Vac/dc 50/60 Hz,
power supply mains. It is the user’s responsibility to provide a switch and non-time delay
(North America), quick-acting, high breaking capacity, Type F (Europe), 1/2A, 250V
fuse(s), or circuit-breaker for 90-250 Vac applications; or 1 A, 125 V fuse or circuit
breaker for 24 Vac/dc applications, as part of the installation. The switch or circuit-
breaker shall be located in close proximity to the controller, within easy reach of the
OPERATOR. The switch or circuit-breaker shall be marked as the disconnecting device
for the controller.
Applying 90-250 Vac to an instrument rated for 24 Vac/dc will severely

damage the instrument and is a fire and smoke hazard.
When applying power to multiple instruments, make certain that sufficient current is
supplied. Otherwise, the instruments may not start up normally due to the voltage drop
caused by the in-rush current.
Controller Grounding
PROTECTIVE BONDING (grounding) of this controller and the enclosure in which it is
installed shall be in accordance with National and Local electrical codes. To minimize
electrical noise and transients that may adversely affect the system, supplementary
bonding of the controller enclosure to a local ground, using a No. 12 (4 mm2) copper
conductor, is recommended.
Control/Alarm Circuit Wiring
The insulation of wires connected to the Control/Alarm terminals shall be rated for the
highest voltage involved. Extra Low Voltage (ELV) wiring (input, current output, and
low voltage Control/Alarm circuits) shall be separated from HAZARDOUS LIVE (>30
Vac, 42.4 Vpeak, or 60 Vdc) wiring per Permissible Wiring Bundling, Table 2-5.
Electrical Noise Precautions
Electrical noise is composed of unabated electrical signals which produce undesirable
effects in measurements and control circuits.

Installation
Digital equipment is especially sensitive to the effects of electrical noise. Your controller
has built-in circuits to reduce the effect of electrical noise from various sources. If there is
a need to further reduce these effects:
• Separate External Wiring—Separate connecting wires into bundles
(See Permissible Wiring Bundling - Table 2-5) and route the individual bundles
through separate conduit metal trays.
Use Suppression Devices—For additional noise protection, you may want to add
suppression devices at the external source. Appropriate suppression devices are
commercially available.
ATTENTION
For additional noise information, refer to document number 51-52-05-01, How to Apply Digital
Instrumentation in Severe Electrical Noise Environments.

2.7 Wiring Diagrams

Identify Your Wiring Requirements
To determine the appropriate diagrams for wiring your controller, refer to the model
number interpretation in this section. The model number of the controller is on the
outside of the case.
Universal Output Functionality and Restrictions

Instruments with multiple outputs can be configured to perform a variety of output types
and alarms. For example, an instrument with one current output and two relays can be
configured to provide any one of the following:
1) Current Simplex with two alarm relays
2) Current Duplex 100% with two alarm relays
3) Time Simplex with one alarm relay
4) Time Duplex with no alarm relays
5) Three Position Step Control with no alarm relays
These selections may all be made via the keyboard and by wiring to the appropriate
output terminals; there are no internal jumpers or switches to change. This flexibility
allows a customer to stock a single instrument which is able to handle a variety of
applications.
Table 2-6 shows what control types and alarms are available based upon the installed
outputs. In this table, when Duplex Control and Reverse Action are configured:
Output 1 is HEAT and Output 2 is COOL.
In Table 2-6 when Three Position Step Control is configured:

Output 1 is OPEN and Output 2 is CLOSE.
In Table 2-6 the Output 1/2 option Single Relay can be any of the following selections:
Electro-Mechanical Relay, Solid-State Relay or Open Collector Output.

N/A = Not Available – This output algorithm type cannot be performed with this Output 1/2
option.
INU = Installed, Not Used – The installed Output 1/2 option is not used for the configured
output algorithm type.
Not Needed = Auxiliary Output is Not Needed to provide the desired output algorithm and can
be used for another purpose. With the proper configuration, Auxiliary Output
could also be used as a substitute for the Current Output
* To obtain this output algorithm type with these Output 1/2 Options: 1) Configure the
OUTALG selection as “TIME D”; 2) Configure Auxiliary Output for “OUTPUT” and; 3)
Scale the Auxiliary Output as necessary for the desired output algorithm type. For these
selections, the Output 1 (HEAT) and Output 2 (COOL) signals will be present both on the
Auxiliary Output and on the two relays normally used for Time Duplex.

1 The 250 ohm resistor for milliamp inputs or the voltage divider for 0-10 Volt inputs are supplied
with the controller when those inputs are specified. These items must be installed prior to start
up when the controller is wired. For 0-20 mA applications, the resistor should be located at the
transmitter terminals if Burnout detection is desired.
2 Splice and tape this junction between the two thermocouples. This junction may be located
anywhere between the thermocouples and the instrument terminals, it does not need to be close
to the other thermocouple junctions. Both thermocouples must be of the same type. For best
accuracy, the two thermocouples should be matched or, preferably, made from the same batch
of wire.
3 This controller does not produce a steady current for burnout detection. For that reason, when a
thermocouple is used in parallel with another instrument, it may be desirable to configure the
burnout selection for this controller to “NOFS” and use the burnout current from the other
instrument to also drive this controller.
4 The millivolt values for the Thermocouple Differential Input are for a pair of J thermocouples at
an ambient temperature mean of 450°F / 232°C.

If the load current is less than the minimum rated value of 20 mA, then there may be residual voltage across both
1 ends of the load even if the relay is turned off. Use a dummy resistor as shown to counteract this. The total
current through the resistor and the the load must exceed 20 mA. Solid State Relays are zero-crossing type.
Solid State relays are rated at 1 Amp at 25°C and derated linearly to 0.5 Amp at 55°C. Customer should size

3.1 Overview
Introduction
Configuration is a dedicated operation where you use straightforward keystroke
sequences to select and establish (configure) pertinent control data best suited for your
application.
To assist you in the configuration process, there are prompts that appear in the upper and
lower displays. These prompts let you know what group of configuration data (Set Up
prompts) you are working with and also, the specific parameters (Function prompts)
associated with each group.
Table 3-1 shows an overview of the prompt hierarchy as it appears in the controller.

Tuning consists of establishing the appropriate values for the tuning constants you are
using so that your controller responds correctly to changes in process variable and
setpoint. You can start with predetermined values but you will have to watch the system
to see how to modify them. The Accutune feature automatically selects Gain, Rate, and
Reset on demand.
ATTENTION
Because this group contains functions that have to do with security and lockout, we recommend
that you configure this group last, after all other configuration data has been loaded.

PROPORTIONAL BAND (simplex) is the
PB or GAIN 101 PB = 0.1 to 1000 % percent of the range of the measured
Gain = 0.01 to 1000 variable for which a proportional controller
will produce a 100 % change in its output.
GAIN is the ratio of output change (%) over
the measured variable change (%) that
caused it.
100%
G = PB%
where PB is the proportional band (in %)

If the PB is 20 %, then the Gain is 5. And, at
those settings, a 3 % change in the error
signal (SP-PV) will result in a 15 % change in
the controller's output due to proportional
action. If the Gain is 2, then the PB is 50 %.
Also defined as "HEAT" Gain on Duplex
models for variations of Heat/Cool
applications.
The selection of Proportional Band or Gain is
made in the CONTROL parameter group
under prompt PBorGAIN.
RATE T 102 0.00 to 10.00 RATE action, in minutes, affects the

minutes controller's output whenever the deviation is
0.08 or less = OFF changing; and affects it more when the
deviation is changing faster.

applications.
I MIN 103 0.02 to 50.00 I MIN = Reset in Minutes per Repeat

or
I RPM 0.02 to 50.00 I RPM = Reset in Repeats per Minute
Integral Time (or Reset) adjusts the
controller's output in accordance with both
the size of the deviation (SP–PV) and the
time that it lasts. The amount of the
corrective action depends on the value of
Gain. The Reset adjustment is measured as
how many times proportional action is
repeated per minute or how many minutes
before one repeat of the proportional action
occurs.
Used with control algorithm PID-A or PID-B.
Also defined as "HEAT" Reset on Duplex
applications.
ATTENTION The selection of whether
Minutes per Repeat or Repeats per Minute is
used is made in the CONTRL parameters
group under the prompt MINorRPM.
MANRST 104 -100 to 100 % MANUAL RESET is only applicable if you

Output use control algorithm PD WITH MANUAL

Because a proportional controller will not
necessarily line out at setpoint, there will be a
deviation (offset) from setpoint. This
eliminates the offset and lets the PV line out
at setpoint.

3.5 SP Ramp Set Up Group

Introduction
Set Point Ramp, Set Point Programs and Set Point Rates can be configured in this group.
A single Setpoint Ramp [SP RAMP] can be configured to occur between the current local
setpoint and a final local setpoint over a time interval of from 1 to 255 minutes.
A Set Point Rate [SPRATE] lets you configure a specific rate of change for any local
setpoint change.
A single Set Point Program [SP PROG] with up to 12 segments can be configured.
For more information on Set Point Rate, Ramp and Programming, see Sections 4.18
through 4.21.
You can start and stop the ramp/program using the RUN/HOLD key.
PV Hot Start is a configurable feature and means that, at initialization, the setpoint is set
to the current PV value and the Ramp or Rate or Program then starts from this value.

3.6 Accutune Set Up Group

Introduction
Accutune III automatically calculates GAIN, RATE, and RESET TIME (PID) tuning
constants for your control loop. When initiated on demand, the Accutune algorithm
measures a process step response and automatically generates the PID tuning constants
needed for no overshoot on your process.
Fuzzy, Fuzzy Overshoot Suppression: When enabled, this configuration will suppress or
eliminate any overshoot that may occur as a result of the existing tuning parameters, as
the PV approaches the setpoint.
Tune, Demand Tuning: The tuning process is initiated through the operator interface keys
or via a digital input (if configured). The algorithm then calculates new tuning parameters
and enters them in the tuning group. Tune will operate with PIDA, PIDB, PD+MR and
Three Position Step Control algorithms.
SP, SP Tuning: SP tuning continuously adjusts the PID parameters in response to
setpoint changes. You can select tuning on minimum setpoint changes of
5 % up to 15 % span. Perform SP tuning after you have configured the controller. SP
Tuning does not operate with the Three Position Step Control algorithm.
Simplex Tuning is used when a Simplex Control Algorithm is configured and uses the
current SP value and alters the output over the Output Limit Range.
Duplex Tuning is used when a Duplex Control Algorithm is configured. To perform a
Duplex Tune, Two Local Setpoints must be configured per the Control Group in Section
3.11.

50 %).
AUTO AUTOMATIC – Tuning is performed
automatically on both HEAT and COOL
sequentially. LSP 1 is used for HEAT tuning
and LSP 2 is used for COOL tuning. To

3.7 Algorithm Set Up Group

Introduction
This data deals with various algorithms in the controller and Timer functions.
The Timer section allows you to configure a time-out period and to select the timer start
by either the keyboard (RUN/HOLD key) or Alarm 2. An optional digital input can also be
configured to the start the timer. The timer display is selectable as either “time
remaining” (see TREM) or “elapsed time” (see ET).
Alarm 1 is activated at the end of the time-out period. When the timer is enabled, it has
exclusive control of the alarm 1 relay—any previous alarm 1 configuration is ignored. At
time-out, the timer is ready to be activated again by whatever action has been configured.
Function Prompts
Table 3-7 ALGOR Group (Numeric Code 400) Function Prompts
Code Code
The CONTROL ALGORITHM lets you select
CTRALG 401 the type of control that is best for your
process.
ON/OFF is the simplest control type. The
ONOF 0 output can be either ON (100 %) or OFF (0
%). The Process Variable (PV) is compared
with the setpoint (SP) to determine the sign
of the error (ERROR = PV–SP). The
ON/OFF algorithm operates on the sign of
the error signal.
In Direct Acting Control, when the error signal
is positive, the output is 100 %; and when the
error signal is negative, the output is 0 %. If
the control action is reverse, the opposite is
true. An adjustable overlap (Hysteresis Band)
is provided between the on and off states.
ATTENTION Other prompts affected:
OUTHYS

Configuration

Code Code
DUPLEX ON/OFF is an extension of this
algorithm when the output is configured for
Duplex. It allows the operation of a second
ON/OFF output. There is a deadband
between the operating ranges of the two
inputs and an adjustable overlap (hysteresis)
of the on and off states of each output. Both
Deadband and Hysteresis are separately
adjustable. With no relay action the controller
will read 50 %.
OUTHYS and DEADBD
PID A is normally used for three-mode
PIDA 1 control. This means that the output can be
adjusted somewhere between 100 % and 0
%. It applies all three control actions—
Proportional (P), Integral (I), and Derivative
(D)—to the error signal.
Proportional (Gain)—Regulates the
controller’s output in proportion to the error
signal (the difference between Process
Variable and Setpoint).
Integral (Reset)—Regulates the controller’s
output to the size of the error and the time
the error has existed. (The amount of
proportional Gain.)
Derivative (Rate)—Regulates the
controller’s output in proportion to the rate of
change of the error. (The amount of
proportional Gain.)
PID B—Unlike the PID A equation, the
PIDB 2 controller gives only an integral response to a
setpoint change, with no effect on the output
due to the gain or rate action, and it gives full
response to PV changes. Otherwise
controller action is as described for the PID A
equation. See note on PID A.

Configuration

Code Code
PD WITH MANUAL RESET is used
PDMR 3 whenever integral action is not wanted for
automatic control. The equation is computed
with no integral contribution. The MANUAL
RESET, which is operator adjustable, is then
added to the present output to form the
controller output.
Switching between manual and automatic
mode will be bumpless.
If you select PD with Manual Reset you can
also configure the following variations:
• PD (Two Mode) control,
• P (Single Mode) control.
• Set Rate (D) to 0.
MANRST in the Tuning Set Up group
THREE POSITION STEP CONTROL
TPSC 4 (TPSC)—The Three Position Step Control
algorithm allows the control of a valve (or
other actuator) with an electric motor driven
by two controller relay outputs; one to move
the motor upscale, the other downscale
without a feedback slidewire linked to the
motor shaft. The deadband is adjustable in
the same manner as the duplex output
algorithm.
The Three Position Step Control algorithm
provides an output display (OUT) which is an
estimated motor position, since the motor is
not using any slidewire feedback. Although
this output indication is only an
approximation, it is “corrected” each time the
controller drives the motor to one of its stops
(0 % or 100 %). It avoids all the control
problems associated with the feedback
slidewire (wear, dirt, noise). When operating
in this algorithm, the estimated OUT display
is shown to the nearest percent (i.e., no
decimal).
Refer to the Operation section for motor
position displays.
As a customer configurable option, when a
second input board is installed, the motor
slidewire can be connected to the controller.

Configuration

Code Code
The actual slidewire position is then shown
on the lower display as POS. This value is
used for display only. It is NOT used in
the Three Position Step algorithm. To
configure this option, set Input 2 actuation to
SLIDEW. Calibrate the slidewire.
DEADBD
NONE 5 This configuration is usually used for
Indicator applications. For this configuration,
the PV value is percent of range becomes
the control output value which is used by any
configured control output type. When
configured, the upper display shows the PV
while the lower display is blank unless more
than one analog input is configured, in which
case the lower display shows the other
analog inputs.
DIS 0 TIMER allows you to enable or disable the

TIMER 402 ENAB 1 timer option.
The timer option allows you to configure a
timeout period and to select timer start by
either the keyboard (RUN/HOLD key) or
Alarm 2. A digital input can also be
configured to start the timer.
When the timer is enabled, it has exclusive
control of the alarm 1 relay; any previous
alarm configuration is ignored. At timeout, the
timer is ready to be re-activated by whatever
action has been configured. Alarm 1 is
activated at the end of the timeout period.

via the CRANGE configuration, below.
RLYD TIME DUPLEX—This output algorithm uses

3 Digital Outputs 1 and 2 for Duplex Time
Proportional Control. The outputs are
updated per the Loop sampling rate
selection. Time Proportional Output has a
resolution of 4.44 msec. Cycle Time is
adjustable from 1 second to 120 seconds.
CURD CURRENT DUPLEX is similar to current

4 simplex but uses a second current output.
The second output is usually scaled so that
zero and span correspond with 0 % and 50 %
output (cool zone). When the output is 0 % to
50 %, the controller uses tuning parameter
set #2, when the output is 50 % to 100 % it

50 CURRENT DUPLEX RANGE (SPLIT)—This

setting should be used for Relay/Current and
Current/Relay Duplex Outputs. It can also be
used for Current Duplex when an Auxiliary
Output board is present. This enables the
normal control current output to provide heat
control and the auxiliary current output to
provide cool control. To enable this:
• AUX OUT in the Options Set Up group
must be selected for Output.
• The Auxiliary Current Output is scaled as
desired for 0-50 % controller output.
• Deadband for this configuration only
applies to the Current Output. The Auxiliary
Output must have the Deadband scaled in.
FOR EXAMPLE:
If a 2 % Deadband is desired, then enter 2.0
for the Deadband selection in the Control
Algorithm group. This will apply Deadband to
the Current Output. In the Options group, set
the Auxiliary Output LOW VAL selection to
49.0 and the HIGH VAL selection to 0.0.
100 CURRENT DUPLEX RANGE (FULL)

enables the Current Output to provide both
heat and cool functions for control over 0-100
% of the controller output. The PID heat

DEV 4 DEVIATION (PROCESS VARIABLE
MINUS SETPOINT)—Represents –100 %
to +100 % of the selected PV span in
engineering units.
Zero deviation will produce a center scale
(12 mA or 50 %) output. A negative deviation
equal in magnitude to the Auxiliary Output
High Scaling Factor will produce a low end
output (4 mA or 0 %) output. A positive
deviation equal in magnitude to the Auxiliary
Output Low Scaling Factor will produce a
high end output (20 mA or 100 %).
FOR EXAMPLE:
Input 1 = Type T High Thermocouple
PV range = –300 °F to +700 °F
PV span = 1000 °F
Deviation Range = –1000 °F to +1000 °F
Auxiliary Output Low Scale Value = 0.0
Auxiliary Output High Scale Value = 1000
If PV = 500 °F and SP = 650 °F

then Deviation Display = –150 °F, which is
–7.5% of the Deviation Range, so
Auxiliary Output = 50% – 7.5% = 42.5%
OUT 5 OUTPUT—Represents the displayed

TRAK 17 OUTPUT TRACKS INPUT 2—Contact
closure allows Output to track Input 2. While
the switch is open, the output is in
accordance with its pre-defined functionality.
When the switch is closed, the output value
(in percent) will track the Input 2 percent of
range value. When the switch is reopened,
the output will start at this last output value
and normal PID action will then take over
control. The transfer is bumpless.
STRT 18 PV HOTSTART—Contact closure starts the
SP Ramp or SP Program at the original
selected starting Setpoint Value that existed
at the time that the SP Ramp or Program
was first started. Opening contact has no
effect. This configuration must be selected
prior to the first time the SP Ramp or
Program is placed in the RUN mode, as
otherwise the unit will not be able to capture
the initial Setpoint value. This selection
allows the unit to retain the initial Setpoint
value even if power to the unit is lost.
When the STATE selection in the SP Ramp

3.13 Communications Group

Introduction
The Communications group lets you configure the controller to be connected to a host
computer via Modbus® or Ethernet TCP/IP protocol. Two parameters in this Group,
Communications Station Address and TX Delay, are also used for IR communications.
No other parameters affect IR communications.
Introduction
A controller with a communications option looks for messages from the host computer. If
these messages are not received within the configured shed time, the controller will
SHED from the communications link and return to stand-alone operation. You can also
set the SHED output mode and setpoint recall, and communication units.
Up to 99 addresses can be configured over this link. The number of units that can be
configured depends on the link length, with 31 being the maximum for short link lengths
and 15 drops being the maximum at the maximum link length.

3.14 Alarms Set Up Group

Introduction
An alarm is an indication that an event that you have configured (for example—Process
Variable) has exceeded one or more alarm limits. There are two alarms available. Each
alarm has two setpoints. You can configure each of these two setpoints to alarm on
various controller parameters.
There are two alarm output selections, High and Low. You can configure each setpoint to
alarm either High or Low. These are called single alarms.
You can also configure the two setpoints to alarm on the same event and to alarm both
high and low. A single adjustable Hysteresis of 0 % to 100 % is configurable for the
alarm setpoint.
See Table 2-3 in the Installation section for Alarm relay contact information.
The prompts for the Alarm Outputs appear whether or not the alarm relays are physically
present. This allows the Alarm status to be shown on the display and/or sent via
communications to a host computer.

ATTENTION
NOTE 1. When the controller is configured
for Three Position Step Control, alarms set
for Output will not function.
NOTE 2. Alarm 1 is not available if the Timer
is enabled because Alarm 1 is dedicated to
Timer output.
NOTE 3. This Deviation Alarm is based upon
deviation from the 2nd Local Setpoint or
Remote SP regardless of whichever SP is
active.
NOTE 4. Loop Break monitors the control
loop to determine if it is working. When
enabled, the control output is checked
against the minimum and maximum output
limit settings. When the output reaches one
of these limits, a timer begins. If the timer
expires and the output has not caused the
PV to move by a pre-determined amount,
then the alarm activates, thus signalling that
the loop is broken. The loop break timer
value must be configured by the operator as
the AxSx VAL entry. This value is in seconds
with a range of 0 to 3600 seconds. A setting
of 0 is equivalent to an instantaneous loop
break when the output reaches one of its limit
values.
The amount of PV Movement required is
determined by the “UNITS” setting in the
Display Setup Group. For the Degrees F
configuration, the PV must move by 3° in the
desired direction in the time allowed. For the
Degrees C configuration, the PV must move
by 2° in the desired direction in the time
allowed. For the “NONE” selection, the PV
must move 1% of the PV range in the time
allowed.
Loop Break alarms do not have a HIGH/LOW
State configuration, they are always assumed
to be a HIGH state alarm.

3.16 P.I.E. Tool Ethernet and Email Configuration Screens

Introduction
These screens only appear in instruments that have Ethernet Communications. Ethernet
and Email parameters can only be configured via the Process Instrument Explorer (P.I.E.
Tool®). The figures in this section show screen-shots of the Configuration Screens from
the PC version of the P.I.E. Tool®. Pocket PC Configuration Screens are generally similar
in format but smaller.
Ethernet Configuration Screen

This controller is shipped from the factory with the IP Address set to 10.0.0.2, the Subnet
Mask set to 255.255.255.0 and the Default Gateway set to 0.0.0.0. Consult your
Information Technologies (IT) representative as to how these should be configured for
your installation. The MAC address is printed on the product label located on the
instrument’s case.
These settings can be changed via the Ethernet Configuration Screen as shown in Figure
3-1.
See Section 4.23 – Configuring your Ethernet Connection for more information.
Figure 3-1 Ethernet Configuration Screen

Configuration
WARNING
After you change the IP Address, you will no longer be able to communicate with the instrument
via Ethernet until you change the P.I.E. Tool’s IP Address setting in the PC COMM SETUP
section to match the setting that is now in your controller. See Section 4.23 – Configuring your
Ethernet Connection for more information.
Email Configuration Screen

This controller may be configured to support sending an Email when an alarm occurs.
Emails are sent only when the selected alarm transitions from the OFF to the ON state.
Figure 3-2 Email Configuration Screen

This controller cannot receive Emails, so it is suggested that you configure the From
Email: window with a non-Email style address that will make it easy for you to
determine which controller sent the Email. For Email technical reasons, the entry in the
From Email: window cannot have spaces. See Figure 3-2.
If you do not know your SMTP IP Address for outgoing Email, then contact your
Information Technologies (IT) representative. If your PC is on the same LAN that will be
used by the controller and which also connects to the Email server, then the SMTP IP
Address may generally be found by opening a DOS shell and typing:
ping smtp.[your domain name and extension], i.e., ping smtp.your_isp.com

Configuration
The content of the Emails sent by this controller contains the Alarm that triggered the
Email, its settings and the current value (if applicable) of the monitored variable. For
example, the content of an Email triggered by Alarm 1 Setpoint 1 that is configured to
monitor Input 1 would look something like this:
Name: Alarm 1 SP1, Type: INPUT1, Event: HIGH/END, Value = 500.00,
Actual = 712.69
The content of an Email triggered by Alarm 2 Setpoint 1 that is configured to monitor
Digital Input 1 would look something like this:
Name: Alarm 2 SP1, Type: DIG IN1, Event: HIGH/END, Value = 0.00,
Actual = 0.00
ATTENTION
Email will always be time-stamped with the date that the Ethernet Software in the instrument
was last modified.
If the SMTP address on your network is changed, such as can happen when a server is
replaced, then you must reconfigure the Email SMTP IP address in this instrument to match the
new IP address.

4.3 Entering a Security Code

Introduction
The level of keyboard lockout may be changed in the Set Up mode. However, knowledge
of a security code number (0 to 9999) may be required to change from one level of
lockout to another. When a controller leaves the factory, it has a security code of 0 which
permits changing from one lockout level to another without entering any other code
number.
Procedure
If you require the use of a security code, select a number from 0001 to 9999 and enter it
when the lockout level is configured as NONE. Thereafter, that selected number must be
used to change the lockout level from something other than NONE.
ATTENTION Write the number on the Configuration Record Sheet in the configuration
section so you will have a permanent record.

or This will be your security code.
4.4 Lockout Feature

Introduction
The lockout feature in the UDC2500 is used to inhibit changes (via keyboard) of certain
functions or parameters by unauthorized personnel.
Lockout levels
There are different levels of Lockout depending on the level of security required. These
levels are:
• NONE No Lockout. All groups Read/Write.
• CAL Calibration prompts are deleted from the Setup List.
• CONF Timer, Tuning, SP Ramp, and Accutune are Read/Write. All other Setup
groups are Read only. Calibration Group is not available.
• VIEW Timer, Tuning, and SP Ramp are Read/Write. No other parameters are
available.
• ALL Timer, Tuning, and SP Ramp are Read only. No other parameters are
viewable.
See Subsection 3.4 - Tuning Parameters Set Up Group prompts to select one of the
above.
Security Code (see Subsection 4.3)

Individual key lockout

There are three keys that can be disabled to prevent unauthorized changes to the
parameters associated with these keys. First set the “Lock” prompt to NONE.
These keys are:
Key - you can disable the Run/Hold key for Set Point
Programming at configuration Set Up group prompt
“Tuning,” function prompt “RN HLD.”
Key - you can disable the Auto/Manual key at configuration Set

Up, group prompt “Tuning”, function prompt “AUTOMA”
Key - you can disable the Set Point Select function key at
configuration Set Up group prompt “Tuning,” function
prompt “SP SEL.”
See Subsection 3.4 - Tuning Parameters Set Up Group prompts to enable or disable
these keys.
Key error
When a key is pressed and the prompt “Key Error” appears in the lower display, it will be
for one of the following reasons:
• Parameter not available or locked out
• Not in setup mode, press SET UP key first
• Individual key locked out.

4.6 Single Display Functionality

Introduction
This means that the displayed value of PV, Setpoint, Setpoint2, Remote Setpoint, Input 2,
Output, Bias, Aux Out, and Deviation will appear on the top display and a prompt
identifying the value will appear on the bottom display.
Access the Values

Pressing the LOWER DISPLAY key will cycle through all applicable values (configuration
dependent). One minute after the last press of the display key, the display will revert back
to a configured default display. The default display is configured in the Input 1 Setup
Group, and has three selections:
• Active Setpoint (SP)
• Process Variable (PR Y)
• Process Variable with no bottom display prompt (PR n).
Exceptions
There are three exceptions to the above rules. The displays for PID SET, Timer and
Setpoint Ramp will appear the same as on a dual display model and, when displaying
Timer or Ramp values, the default display switchover feature is disabled.
Auto-only Mode
The single display model is Auto only mode. The Auto/Manual key has no effect on
controller mode. As a result of this, the failsafe mode is always non-latching.
While a failsafe condition exists, the controller output will assume the failsafe value.
When the failsafe condition goes away, normal automatic operation continues.

4.8 Control Modes

ATTENTION
After changing a Local Setpoint value, if no other key is pressed, it then takes a minimum of thirty (30)
seconds elapsed time before the new value is stored in non-volatile memory. If controller power is
removed before this time, the new setpoint value is lost and the previous setpoint value is used at
power-up. If, after changing the LSP value, another key is pressed, then the value is stored immediately.
4.8.1 Mode Definitions

Control Mode Definition
AUTOMATIC with In automatic local mode, the controller operates from the local setpoints and
LOCAL automatically adjusts the output to maintain the PV at the desired value.
SETPOINT In this mode you can adjust the setpoint.
See Subsection 4.9 - Setpoints.
AUTOMATIC with In automatic remote mode, the controller operates from the setpoint measured at the
REMOTE remote setpoint input. Adjustments are available to ratio this input and add a
SETPOINT constant bias before it is applied to the control equation.
(optional) See Subsection 3.9 or 3.10, Input 1 or Input 2.
MANUAL In the manual mode, the operator directly controls the controller output level. The
(optional) process variable and the percent output are displayed. The configured High and Low
Output Limits are disregarded and the operator can change the output value, using
the increment and decrement keys, to the limits allowed by the output type (0 % to

• The time display shows the time-out period
• The time-out period can be changed at this time using the or keys.
• The Timer is ready to be activated

4.11 Accutune III

Introduction
Accutune III (TUNE) may be used for self-regulating and single integrating processes.
This autotuning method is initiated on-demand, typically at initial start-up.
There are no other requirements necessary, such as prior knowledge to the process
dynamics or initial or post tune process line-out to setpoint or manual output.
Also, the setpoint value is not required to change in order to initiate the tuning process,
but the controller must be in the Automatic mode to start tuning. The process need not be
in a static (lined out) state and may be dynamic (changing with a steady output).
Configuration check
Make sure:
• TUNE has been enabled see to Subsection 3.6 - Accutune Set Up Group for details.
Tuning indicators
“TUNE” will flash in the upper display until tuning is completed.
Operation
The “TUNE” (Accutune II) algorithm provides user-friendly, on-demand tuning in this
controller. No knowledge of the process is required at start-up. The operator simply
initiates the tuning while in the automatic mode.
Once Accutune III has been enabled in the TUNE setup group, either “SLOW” or
“FAST” tuning may be used. Which one is used is selected via the lower display during
normal operation.
For the SLOW selection, the controller calculates conservative tuning constants with the
objective of minimizing overshoot. If the controller determines that the process has
appreciable dead time, it will automatically default to use Dahlin Tuning, which produces
very conservative tuning constants. The SLOW selection may be useful for TPSC
applications, as it reduces any “hunt” problems for the motor.
For the FAST selection, the controller calculates aggressive tuning constants with the
objective of producing quarter damped response. Depending upon the process, this
selection will usually result in some overshoot. For this reason, it may be desireable to
enable the FUZZY tune selection. See Section 4.12. When Fuzzy tune is enabled, it will
work to suppress or eliminate any overshoot that may occur as a result of the calculated
tuning parameters as the PV approaches the setpoint.
The TUNE process will cycle the controller’s output two full cycles between the low and
high output limits while allowing only a very small Process Variable change above and
below the SP during each cycle. “TUNE” flashes in the upper display until tuning is
completed.

At the end of the tuning process, the controller immediately calculates the tuning
constants and enters them into the Tuning group, and begins PID control with the correct
tuning parameters. This works with any process, including integrating type processes,
and allows retuning at a fixed setpoint.
4.11.1 Tune for Simplex Outputs
After “TUNE” has been enabled, you can start Accutune as shown in Table 4-11.

6 Tuning in operation Upper display will flash “TUNE” as

completes, tuning parameters are
calculated and lower display will
show “NoTune” prompt.
ATTENTION
The Accutune process may be aborted at any time by changing the lower display back to “NoTUNE” or
by switching the controller into Manual Mode.
4.11.2 Tune for Duplex (Heat/Cool)

Accutune for applications using Duplex (Heat/Cool) control.
The controller must be configured to have two local setpoints unless Blended Tuning is
desired (see below). See Subsection 3.11- Control Set Up Group for details on
configuring two local setpoints. During tuning, the Accutune III process assumes that
Local Setpoint 1 will cause a Heating demand (output above 50%), and the tuning
parameters calculated for that setpoint are automatically entered as PID SET 1. Likewise,
Accutune III assumes that Local Setpoint 2 will cause a Cooling demand (output less than
50%), and the tuning parameters calculated for that setpoint are automatically entered as
PID SET 2.

Configuration Check for Duplex

See Subsection 3.6 - Accutune Set Up Group for details.
Make sure:
• TUNE has been enabled
• DUPLEX has been configured to Manual, Automatic or Disabled
4.11.3 Using AUTOMATIC TUNE at start-up for Duplex (Heat/Cool)
Used when DUPLEX has been configured for AUTOMATIC. This is the preferred
selection for most Heat/Cool applications when tuning a new chamber. This selection
will sequentially perform both Heat and Cool tuning without further operator
intervention.

4.11.4 Using BLENDED TUNE at start-up for Duplex (Heat/Cool)

When DUPLEX has been configured for DISABLE. This is the preferred selection for
Heat/Cool applications which use a highly insulated chamber (a chamber which will lose
heat very slowly unless a cooling device is applied). Only one local setpoint (LSP 1) is
needed for this selection.

This selection results in performance tuning over the full range utilizing both Heat and
Cool outputs to acquire blended tune values that are then applied to both Heat and Cool
tuning parameters. Both PID sets are set to the same values.

Completing Accutune
When Accutune is complete, the calculated tuning parameters are stored in their proper
memory location and can be viewed in the TUNING Set up Group, and the controller will
control at the local setpoint using these newly calculated tuning constants.
4.12 Fuzzy Overshoot Suppression

Introduction
Fuzzy Overshoot Suppression minimizes Process Variable overshoot following a setpoint
change or a process disturbance. This is especially useful in processes which experience
load changes or where even a small overshoot beyond the setpoint may result in damage
or lost product.
How it works
The fuzzy logic observes the speed and direction of the PV signal as it approaches the
setpoint and temporarily modifies the internal controller response action as necessary to
avoid an overshoot. There is no change to the PID algorithm, and the fuzzy logic does
not alter the PID tuning parameters. This feature can be independently Enabled or
Disabled as required by the application to work with “TUNE” (On-Demand) Accutune III
tuning algorithm.

Introduction
An alarm consists of a relay contact and an operator interface indication. The alarm relay
is de-energized if setpoint 1 or setpoint 2 is exceeded.
The alarm relay is energized when the monitored value goes into the allowed region by
more than the hysteresis.
The relay contacts can be wired for normally open (NO) energized or normally closed
(NC) de-energized using internal jumper placement. See Table 2-3 in the Section 2 –
Installation for alarm relay contact information.
There are four alarm setpoints, two for each alarm. The type and state (High or Low) is
selected during configuration. See Subsection 3.13 – Configuration for details.

4.15 Three Position Step Control Algorithm

Introduction
The Three Position Step Control algorithm allows the control of a valve (or other
actuator) with an electric motor driven by two controller output relays; one to move the
motor upscale, the other to move it downscale, without a feedback slidewire linked to the
motor shaft.
Estimated Motor Position

The Three Position Step control algorithm provides an output display (“OT”) which is an
estimated motor position since the motor is not using any feedback.
• Although this output indication is only accurate to a few percent, it is corrected each
time the controller drives the motor to one of its stops (0 % or 100 %).
• It avoids all the control problems associated with the feedback slidewire (wear, dirt,
and noise).
• When operating in this algorithm, the estimated “OT” display is shown to the nearest
percent (that is, no decimal).
See Motor Travel Time (the time it takes the motor to travel from 0 % to 100 %) in
section 3.8.

4.18 Setpoint Rate/Ramp/Program Overview

Introduction
The Setpoint Ramp configuration group lets you enable and configure any of the
following:
• SPRATE – a specific rate of change for any local setpoint change. (Subsection 4.20)
• SPRAMP – a single setpoint ramp that occurs between the current local setpoint and
a final local setpoint over a time interval of 1 to 255 minutes. (Subsection 4.19)
• SPPROG – a ramp/soak profile in a 12-segment program. (Subsection 4.21)
This section explains the operation of each selection and configuration reference where
necessary.
PV Hot Start
This is a standard feature. At power-up, the setpoint is set to the current PV value and the
Rate or Ramp or Program then starts from this value.

RUN/HOLD key
You can start or stop the Ramp or Program using the RUN/HOLD key.
4.19 Setpoint Ramp

Introduction
When you have configured a SETPOINT RAMP, the ramp will occur between the current
local setpoint and a final local setpoint over a time interval of from 1 to 255 minutes.
You can RUN or HOLD the ramp at any time.
Configuration Check
Make sure
• SPRAMP is enabled
• A Ramp Time (TIMIN) in minutes has been configured
• A final setpoint value (FINLSP) has been configured. See Subsection 3.5 –
Configuration group “SPRAMP” for details.
Operation
Running a Setpoint Ramp includes starting, holding, viewing the ramp, ending the ramp
and disabling it. See Table 4-24.

the new final setpoint.
7 Disable SPRAMP See Section 3 – Configuration group “SPRAMP” for

details.
Power Outage
If power is lost during a ramp, upon power-up the controller will be in HOLD and the
setpoint value will be the setpoint value prior to the beginning of the setpoint ramp.
The ramp is placed in hold at the beginning.
Configure the mode at Set Up Group “CONTROL”, function prompt “PWRUP”. See
Subsection 3.11 – CONTRL GROUP FUNCTION Prompts.
4.20 Setpoint Rate

Introduction
When you have configured a SETPOINT RATE, it will apply immediately to local
setpoint change.
Configuration check
Make sure:
• SPRATE is enabled
• SP RATE and SPPROG are not running.
• A Rate Up (EUHRUP) or Rate Down (EUHRDN) value has been configured in
Engineering units per hour.
ATTENTION
A value of 0 will imply an immediate change in setpoint, that is, NO RATE applies. See
Subsection 3.5 – Configuration group “SPRAMP” for details.)
Operation
When a change to local setpoint is made, this controller will ramp from the original
setpoint to the “target” setpoint at the rate specified.
The current setpoint value can be viewed at Sn on the lower display.
Power outages
If power is lost before the “target” setpoint is reached, upon power recovery, the
controller powers up with Sn = Current PV value and it automatically “Restarts” from Sn
= current PV value up to the original “target” setpoint.

4.21 Setpoint Ramp/Soak Programming

Introduction
The term “programming” is used here to identify the process for selecting and entering
the individual ramp and soak segment data needed to generate the required setpoint
versus time profile (also called a program).
A segment is a ramp or soak function which together make up a setpoint program.
Setpoint Ramp/Soak Programming lets you configure six ramp and six soak segments to
be stored for use as one program or several small programs. You designate the beginning
and end segments to determine where the program is to start and stop.
Review program data and configuration

While the procedure for programming is straightforward, and aided by prompts, we
suggest you read “Program Contents”. Table 4-25 lists the program contents and an
explanation of each to aid you in configuration. Then refer to Subsection 3.5 –
Configuration to do the setpoint program.
Make sure SPRATE and SPRAMP are disabled.
Fill out the worksheet

Refer to the example in Figure 4-3 and draw a Ramp/Soak Profile on the worksheet
provided (Figure 4-4) and fill in the information for each segment. This will give you a
record of how the program was developed.
Operation
Refer to Table 4-26 Run/Monitor the program.

TIME* - Hours:Minutes Range = 0-99 hr.:59 min.
or
EU-M* - Degrees/Minute Range = 0 to 999
EU-H* - Degrees/Hour
*The selection of time or rate is made at prompt “RP UNIT”
- Set this prompt before entering any Ramp information.

Contents Definition
ATTENTION Entering “0” will imply an immediate step change in setpoint to
the next soak.
Ramp unit The ramp unit selection determines the engineering units for the ramp
segments.
The selections are:
• TIME = Hours:Minutes (XX:XX) Range: 0-99 hr.:0-59 min
• EU-H = Degrees/Hour OR EU-M = Degrees/Minute (Range – 0-999)
Soak segments A soak segment is a combination of soak setpoint (value) and a soak duration
(time).
• Soaks are even number segments.
• Segment 2 will be the initial soak value and soak time.
• The soak setpoint range value must be within the setpoint high and low
range limits in engineering units.
• Soak time is the duration of the soak and is determined in:
TIME - Hours:Minutes Range = 0-99 hr.:59 min.
Start segment The start segment number designates the number of the first segment.
number Range = 1 to 11
End segment number The end segment number designates the number of the last segment, it must
be a soak segment (even number). Range = 2 to 12
Recycle number The recycle number allows the program to recycle a specified number of times
from beginning to end. Range = 0 to 99
Guaranteed soak All soak segments can have a deviation value of from 0 to ± 99 (specified by
SOK DEV) which guarantees the value for that segment.
Guaranteed soak deviation values >0 guarantee that the soak segment’s
process variable is within the ± deviation for the configured soak time.
Whenever the ± deviation is exceeded, soak timing is frozen.
There are no guaranteed soaks whenever the deviation value is configured to
0, (that is, soak segments start timing soak duration as soon as the soak
setpoint is first reached, regardless of where the process variable remains
relative to the soak segment).
The soak deviation value is the number in engineering units, above or below
the setpoint, outside of which the timer halts. The range is 0 to ± 99.
The decimal location corresponds to input 1 decimal selection.
PV Start This function determines whether LSP1 or PV is used as the setpoint when the
program is initially changed from HOLD to RUN.
The selections are:
DISABL = When the program is initially changed from HOLD to RUN the
present LSP1 value is captured as the default setpoint. If the
program is terminated or the power cycled before the program has
completed, the LSP1 is used as the control setpoint. The
beginning segment uses this value as the initial ramp setpoint.

Contents Definition
ENABL = When the program is initially changed from HOLD to RUN the
present PV value is captured and used as the beginning setpoint
value for the ramp segment. If the program is terminated before
completion, the setpoint value will revert back to the PV value
captured at the initial HOLD to RUN transition. If the power is
cycled before program completion, upon power-up the setpoint is
set to the PV value at power-up and when the program is restarted
that setpoint value is used initially.
Program state The program state selection determines the program state after completion.
The selections are:
• DIS = program is disabled (so program value changed to DIS)
• HOLD = program on hold
Program termination The program termination state function determines the status of the controller
state upon completion of the program.
The selections are:
• LAST = controls to last setpoint
• FSAF = manual mode and failsafe output.
Reset Program to When enabled, this selection allows you to reset the program to the beginning
Beginning from the keyboard.

4.23 Configuring your Ethernet Connection

Introduction
This controller is shipped from the factory with the address for Infrared (IR)
communications set to 3, the Ethernet IP Address set to 10.0.0.2, the Ethernet Subnet
Mask set to 255.255.255.0 and the Ethernet Default Gateway set to 0.0.0.0. Consult your
Information Technologies (IT) representative as to how these should be configured for
your installation. The MAC address is printed on the product label located on the
instrument’s case.
Only the P.I.E. Tool® can be used to configure Ethernet parameters. The figures in this
section show screen-shots from the PC version of the P.I.E. Tool® Screens. Pocket PC
Screens are generally similar in format but smaller. The P.I.E. Tool can connect to your
controller via either Ethernet communications port or the Infrared (IR) communications
port.
Configuring the Controller via Infrared Communications

If connecting via IR and assuming that the instrument’s IR address has not been changed
from its factory setting of 3, then configure your Communications Type as Infrared and
your IR address to 3 as shown below in Figure 4-11.
Figure 4-11 IR Communications Address

Close the IR configuration window and then single click on the Online Configuration
button shown in Figure 4-12.
Figure 4-12 Online Configuration
Press any button on the controller’s keyboard to activate the controller’s IR port. Point
your IR dongle (if using PC) or your Pocket PC’s IR port (if using Pocket PC) at the IR
window on the front of the controller and then click on the Start button. The P.I.E. Tool®
should start uploading the configuration information from the controller as shown below:
Figure 4-13 Configuration Upload in Progress
Once the upload is complete, click on the Ethernet & Email Group. Configure your
Ethernet and Email parameters per Section 3.16.
Once you have changed the Ethernet settings and downloaded them to your controller,
you will now be able to communicate with it via Ethernet.

Configuring the Controller via Ethernet Communications
WARNING
Configuring the Controller via Ethernet Communications requires that you change your PC’s IP
settings. If you have never done this before, then it is strongly recommended that you consult
with your Information Technologies (IT) representative before proceeding.
First, write down the current Local Area Network (LAN) configuration values for your
PC for its IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway settings. Put these someplace
that you can find them later.
Connecting to the Ethernet Port in the Controller requires that you have either an Ethernet
crossover cable or a MDI-compliant Switch or Hub available with a straight-through
cable. The crossover cable can be used to directly connect your PC to the Controller while
the Switch or Hub can be used to connect your PC and Controller to the Hub or Switch
via straight-through cables.
Once you have made an Ethernet connection between your PC and the controller, then
change the Local Area Network (LAN) settings on your PC to be as follows:
IP Address: 10.0.0.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1
Now open your P.I.E. Tool® program and select PC Comm Setup and select Ethernet as
your Communication Type as shown in Figure 4-14.
Figure 4-14 Ethernet Communications Type Selection

Now set your Ethernet address to 10.0.0.2 as shown in Figure 4-15.
Figure 4-15 Ethernet Communications Address
Close the Ethernet configuration window and then single click on the Online
Configuration button.
Then, click on the Start button. The P.I.E. Tool® should start uploading the
configuration information from the controller as shown in Figure 4-16.

Figure 4-16 Configuration Upload in Progress
Once the upload is complete, click on the Ethernet & Email Group. Configure your
Ethernet and Email parameters per Section 3.16.
Once you have changed the Ethernet settings and downloaded them to your controller,
you will no longer be able to communicate with it until you change the IP address in the
P.I.E. Tool® to be per the controller’s new IP Address.
You will also need to re-configure the Local Area Network (LAN) settings on your PC
back to their original settings. On some PCs and LANs, it is possible to simply allow the
PC to get these settings automatically via the DHCP server. Contact your Information
Technologies (IT) representative to see if this is available on your PC.

WARNING—SHOCK HAZARD
INPUT CALIBRATION MAY REQUIRE ACCESS TO HAZARDOUS LIVE CIRCUITS, AND
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. MORE THAN
ONE SWITCH MAY BE REQUIRED TO DE-ENERGIZE UNIT BEFORE CALIBRATION.
5.1 Overview
Introduction
This section describes the field calibration procedures for Input 1 and Input 2.
• All input actuations in every UDC2500 controller are fully factory-calibrated and are
ready for configuration by the user.
• Field Calibration can improve the accuracy of the Controller if necessary for a
particular application.
CAUTION
The field calibration will be lost if a change in input type configuration is implemented at a later
time. The original factory calibration data remains available for later use after a field calibration is
done. See subsection 0 if you want to restore factory calibration values.

5.8 Restore Input Factory Calibration

Introduction
The factory calibration constants for all the input actuation types that can be used with the
controller are stored in its non-volatile memory. Thus, you can quickly restore the
“Factory Calibration” for a given input actuation type by simply changing the actuation
type to another type and then changing it back to the original type.
Refer to Table 5-14 Restore Factory Calibration for procedure
ATTENTION
A restored factory calibration overwrites any previous field calibration done for the input and may
change the High and Low Range Limits.
Protect your field calibration from accidental overwrites by configuring the appropriate LOCKOUT
selection after calibration.
See Section 3 - Configuration for specific instructions to set the lockout.

ONE SWITCH MAY BE REQUIRED TO DE-ENERGIZE UNIT BEFORE CALIBRATION.

Output Calibration
6.2 Current Output Calibration

Introduction
Calibrate the controller so that the output provides the proper amount of current over the
desired range. The controller can provide an output current range of from 0 to 21
milliamperes and is usually calibrated at 4 mA for 0 % of output and 20 mA for 100 % of
output, or any other values between 0 mA and 21 mA. It is not necessary to re-calibrate
the controller in order to change from 4 to 20 mA operation over to 0 to 20 mA operation,
a simple configuration change is all that is required. See the CO RANGE configuration
in Sub-section 3.8 for details.
Equipment Needed
You will need a standard shop type milliammeter, with whatever accuracy is required,
capable of measuring 0 to 20 milliamps.

6.3 Auxiliary Output Calibration

Introduction
Calibrate the controller so that the auxiliary output provides the proper amount of current
over the desired range. The controller can provide an auxiliary current output range of
from 0 mA to 21 mA and is usually calibrated at 4 mA for 0 % of output and 20 mA for
100 % of output or any other values between 0 mA and 21 mA. It is not necessary to re-
calibrate the controller in order to change from 4 to 20 mA operation over to 0 to 20 mA
operation, a simple configuration change is all that is required. See the AO RANGE
configuration in Sub-section 3.12 for details.

Installation related problems

Read the Installation section in this manual to make sure the UDC2500 has been properly
installed. The installation section provides information on protection against electrical
noise, connecting external equipment to the controller, and shielding and routing external
wiring.
ATTENTION System noise induced into the controller will result in diagnostic error
messages recurring. If the diagnostic error messages can be cleared, it indicates a “soft”
failure and is probably noise related.
If system noise is suspected, completely isolate the controller from all field wiring.
Use calibration sources to simulate PV and check all controller functions; i.e. Gain, Rate,
Reset, Output, Alarms, etc.
Application related problems

Review the application of the controller; then, if necessary, direct your questions to the
local sales office.
Hardware and software related problems

Use the troubleshooting error message prompts and controller failure symptoms to
identify typical failures which may occur in the controller. Follow the troubleshooting
procedures to correct them.
7.2 Troubleshooting Aids

Overall error messages
An error message can occur:
• At power-up. See Subsection 7.3.
• When the Status Tests are requested. See Subsection 7.4.
• During continuous background tests while in normal operation. See Subsection 7.5.
Controller failure symptoms

Other failures may occur that deal with the Power, Output, or Alarms. Refer to the
controller failure symptom in Table 7-4 to determine what is wrong and the
troubleshooting procedures to use to correct the problem.
Check installation
If a set of symptoms still persists, refer to Section 2 - Installation and ensure proper
installation and proper use of the controller in the system.

7.3 Power-up Tests

What happens at power-up
When power is applied, the controller will run three diagnostic tests. After these tests are
completed, “TEST DONE” is displayed.
Test Failures
If one or more of these tests fail, the controller will go to the Failsafe Manual Mode, and
FAILSF will flash in the lower display and a message indicating which test failed will
appear in the lower display. Then, “DONE” will appear in the lower display.
Three Position Step test failures

For controller configured for Three Position Step Control with motor position indication
and Auto-cal has never been done, the prompt CAL MTR will appear to suggest that the
controller be calibrated.
7.4 Status Tests

Introduction
When required, the results of these tests can be checked to determine the reason the
controller has gone to Failsafe.
How to check the status tests

The procedure in Table 7-2 tells you how to display the results of the status tests.

Introduction
This section contains information concerning Reading, Writing, and Overriding
parameters in this instrument. There are two types of parameters:
• Data Transfer—These parameters include reading control data, option status, and
reading or changing setpoints.
• Configuration Data—All the configuration data is listed in the order in which it
appears in the controller.
Each type of parameter has the identifying codes listed with it.

General Information
Non-volatile Memory Retention
• This controller uses non-volatile memory to store configuration data. These
memories are guaranteed to retain data for a minimum of ten years as long as the data
is not written and erased more than 10,000 times. In order not to exceed this number,
it is strongly recommended that configurations which change rapidly such as
Computer Setpoint use the Override feature which does not affect non-volatile
memory.

Analog Parameters
• Whenever analog register addresses 0001 through 0074 (those that can be changed via
communications) are changed, a Write cycle occurs after receipt of the message and
the response is returned.
Override Parameters
• Override analog register address 007D (computer setpoint) is not stored in non-
volatile memory. It can be changed as frequently as desired with no effect on non-
volatile memory retentivity, but the controller must remain in the slave mode.
Digital Parameters
• Whenever digital configuration register addresses 0080 through 00FA are updated via
communications, the non-volatile memory is updated as soon as the message is
received.
Communications Transfer Rates
• Reads minimum 20mS and writes minimum 200mS
Supported Function Codes
• IR port 20 and 21
• RS485 and Ethernet ports 1,2,3,4,6,16,17,20,21
Communications Modes of Operation
• When the Shed Timer is enabled and a write or override occurs the controller will
enter Slave Mode. The keypad is locked from the operator. The purpose of this mode
is that if communications is lost and the shed timer times out then the controller will
enter a known state of operation. The configuration of the “Shed Mode and Output”
and Shed Setpoint Recall are used to configure the controller’s shed state. While in
Slave Mode pushing the MAN/AUTO key enters Emergency Manual mode. The local
operator then has control of the output. The controller is in Monitor Mode if the Shed
timer is disabled.

10.6 Using a Computer Setpoint (Overriding Controller Setpoint)

Overview
You can use a setpoint generated from the computer to override the setpoint being used
by the controller. The value generated by the computer will have ratio and bias applied by
the controller.

Shed
The computer setpoint override will continue until SHED from communications occurs or
the controller is placed into monitor mode through communications. Doing periodic
SLAVE READS within the shed time will allow the override to continue until
communication is stopped and shed time elapses. Does not apply to IR communications.
ATTENTION
0 Shed (code 79) allows the override to continue indefinitely or until the reset shed timer

10.8 Modbus RTU Exception Codes

Introduction
When a master device sends a query to a slave device it expects a normal response. One
of four possible events can occur from the master’s query:
• Slave device receives the query without a communication error and can handle the
query normally.
It returns a normal response.
• Slave does not receive the query due to a communication error.
No response is returned. The master program will eventually process a time-out
condition for the query.
• Slave receives the query but detects a communication error (parity, LRC or CRC).
No response is returned. The master program will eventually process a time-out
condition for the query.
• Slave receives the query without a communication error but cannot handle it (i.e.,
request is to a non-existent coil or register).
The slave will return with an exception response informing the master of the nature of
the error (Illegal Data Address.)
The exception response message has two fields that differentiate it from a normal
response:
Function Code Field:
In a normal response, the slave echoes the function code of the original query in the
function code field of the response. All function codes have a most-significant bit
(MSB) of 0 (their values are below 80 hex). In an exception response, the slave sets
the MSB of the function code to 1. This makes the function code value in an
exception response exactly 80 hex higher than the value would be for a normal
response.
With the function code’s MSB set, the master’s application program can recognize
the exception response and can examine the data field for the exception code.
Data Field:
In a normal response, the slave may return data or statistics in the data field. In an
exception response, the slave returns an exception code in the data field. This defines
the slave condition that caused the exception.

Query
Example: Internal slave error reading 2 registers starting at address 1820h from slave at slave address 02.

Exception Definition Description
Code
01 Illegal Function The message received is not an allowable action for the
addressed device.
02 Illegal Data Address The address referenced in the function-dependent data
section of the message is not valid in the addressed
device.
03 Illegal Data Value The value referenced at the addressed device location
is no within range.
04 Slave Device Failure The addressed device has not been able to process a
valid message due to a bad device state.
05, 06 Slave Device Busy The addressed device has ejected a message due to a
busy state. Retry later.
07 NAK, The addressed device cannot process the current
Negative Acknowledge message. Issue a PROGRAM POLL to obtain device-
dependent error data.
09 Buffer Overflow The data to be returned for the requested number of
registers is greater than the available buffer space.
Function Code 20 only.

Ethernet TCP/IP
11 Ethernet TCP/IP
11.1 Overview
Ethernet parameters can only be configured via the Process Instrument Explorer software.
Ethernet IP Address is 10.0.0.2 as shipped from the Factory.
The MAC address is printed on the case label of each instrument.
When constructing a network, it is recommended that a Switch be used to connect UDCs
to a LAN rather than using a Hub. This is because a Switch passes only those messages
for IP addresses that are connected to the Switch while a Hub passes all message traffic.
Using a Switch thus improves the overall throughput of the traffic to and from the UDCs.
