1.2 Ordering Code Definition

AI series instruments adopt advanced modularized hardware design. There are maximum five module slots:
multi-function input/output (MIO), main output (OUTP), alarm (ALM), auxiliary output (AUX) and communication (COMM).
The modules can be purchased in bundle with instrument or separately, and can be installed easily. The input type can be
freely set to thermocouple, RTD, or linear current/voltage.
The ordering code of AI-519 series instrument is made up of 8 parts. For example:
AI-519 A N X3 L5 N S4 — 24VDC

⑧ Power supply of the instrument. If left blank, the power of the instrument is 100-240VAC. 24VDC means the
power supply of 20~32VDC or AC power (24V AC power has to be specified upon order).

POINTS TO NOTE
1. K3 module occupies two slots, OUTP and MIO. MIO cannot be used if K3 is installed. If setpoint switching feature is
required, put I2 module in COMM slot. Then set parameter bAud to 1. Two setpoints switching function can be used
in COMM instead of MIO.
2. The voltage output modules like V24, \/10 or V12 are often used for supplying power for external transducer
or feedback resistance of transmitter. These modules can be installed in any slot except that of D 6 dimension
instrument. To standardize the wiring, it is recommended to be installed in the first idle slot in the order of
MIO, AUX, and COMM.

Installation and replacement of modules: Before the instrument delivery, module installation is done on request,
with corresponding parameter set correctly. Users can replace or install modules by themselves when
needed. When replacing a module, you should pull the controller out of the housing at first, insert a
small flat-tip screwdriver into the opening between the original module and the slot on motherboard to
remove the old module, and then install a new module. Changing module type needs to modify the
corresponding parameters.
Electric isolation of the modules: There are a group of 24V and a group 12V power supply built in the instrument
and isolated to the main circuit. The 24V power commonly supplies voltage output module, such as
V24/V12/V10 (24V/12V/10V voltage output module), I2 (on-off signal input module) and I4 (linear current
input module). The 12V power is commonly supplies output or communication module. Generally, the
relay contact output and TRIAC no contact discrete output are self-insulated from the other circuit, no
matter whether other modules are installed or not. SSR voltage output do es not need to be insulated
from input circuit, because SSR itself has isolation function. Therefore, only the electric isolation
between the communication interface and the current output should be considered. Those modules, for
example, S (RS485 communication interface), R (RS232 communication interface) and X3 (linear current
output), all need the 12V power supply. If more than one of the above modules are installed, in order to
be electric isolated, only one of them can be module without electric isolation, the other modules should
be S4 or X4, which has its own isolated power supply. For example, if an X module is installed in OUTP
(main output) slot, and an S or X module is installed in COMM (communication interface) slot, then OUTP
and COMM cannot be electric isolated, so S or X should be replaced with S4 or X4.
No contact switch module: W1 and W2 are new types of no contact switch modules which apply the advanced
technology of “burn proof” and zero crossing conduction. It can replace the relay contact switc h.
Compared to the relay contact output module, W1 and W2 have longer life and lower interference. They

3
 can largely decrease the interference spark of the equipment, and greatly improve the stability and
reliability of the system. Since the driver element is TRIAC, it is suitable for controlling 100-240VAC (not
for DC power) with current up to 80A. For the current larger than 80A, an intermediate relay is needed.
Protection elements are series wound to the output terminals, so it can control continuous current up to
0.2A with maximum allowed instantaneous current 2A.
Relay Module: The relay modules are widely used in industrial control. However, they are the only modules with
life time limit and volume limit and have much electromagnetic interference. There are four types of
relay modules: L1, L2, L3 and L4. For control output, L1 or L4 large capacity module is recommended.
L4 is equipped with high performance relay with small volume and large capacity but it costs higher. L2
module is small in size. Both of its normal open and normal close terminals have varistor spark absorption
but the capacity is small. It is suitable for alarm output. L1 and L are large in size and large capacity.
For those panel size with 48mm width (including D6, E, F and etc). large size modules cannot be installed
in both PCB board. L3 provides dual output to support two loops of alarm, for example, AL1+AL2. If
mechanical switch is not preferred or L3 is not allowed due to size limitation mentioned above, G5 (dual
SSR DC voltage output) with external SSR can be chosen.
Calibration: The instrument applies the technology of automatic zero and digital calibration, and is free of
maintenance. If the error exceeds certain range, generally, cleaning and drying the inside of the
instrument can fix it. If not, send the instrument back to the factory to examine and repair.
Warranty and maintenance: Free repair and maintenance will be given in specified period of time since the
delivery. In order to get full and correct repair, please state clear the phenomena and causes of the
malfunction of the instrument.

The lighting of MAN means in manual output status. MIO, OP1, OP2, AL1, AL2, AU1 and AU2 indicate I/O operation
of the corresponding module. For example, That the COMM indicator is lighting means that the instrument is
communicating with upper device.
Basic display status : When power on, the upper display window of the instrument shows the process value (PV), and
the lower window shows the setpoint (SV). This status is called basic display status. When the input signal is out of the
measurable range (for example, the thermocouple or RTD circuit is break, or input specification sets wrong), the upper
display window will alternately display “orAL” and the high limit or the low limit of PV, and the instrument will automatically
stop output. If the lower display window alternately display “HIAL”, “LoAL”, “HdAL” or “LdAL”, it means high limit alarm,
low limit alarm, deviation high alarm, and deviation low alarm happening. The alarm display can also be turned off by
setting parameter AdIS to oFF. If “EErr” is displayed, it means internal self-test error, and the instrument should be sent
back for repair.

In the basic display status, pressing can switch lower display window between displaying setpoint or output
magnitude. If the instrument is in manual operating mode, even the lower display window is switched to setpoint display, it
will automatically return to output magnitude display after a period of time.

Setpoint (SV) Setting

If the parameter lock “Loc” isn't locked, we can set setpoint (SV) by pressing , or . The range of setpoint is
between the parameter SPL and SPH.

Auto / Manual Control Mode Switch (A/M)

When output magnitude is displayed in lower display window, pressing AT key ( ) can switch between auto-control
and manual control without bumping. If the instrument is in manual control mode and the lower display window is

11
displaying output magnitude, the output magnitude can be modified by pressing or . By setting M-A parameter,
the instrument can be locked at automatic or manual control mode to avoid entering manual operation by mistake.
Auto Tuning (AT)
When artificial intelligence PID control or standard PID control is chosen (CtrL=APId or nPId), the PID parameters can
be obtained by running auto-tuning. In basic display status, press for 2 seconds, the “At” parameter will appear.
Press to change the value of “At” from “oFF” to “on”, then press to active the auto-tuning process. During
auto tuning, “At” will flash at lower display window and the instrument executes on-off control. After 2 cycles of on-off
action, the instrument will obtain the values of PID control parameters. If you want to escape from auto tuning status,
press and hold for about 2 seconds until the "At" parameter appears again. Change “At” from “on” to “oFF”, press
to confirm, then the auto tuning process will be cancelled. After satisfying PID parameters are obtained, At is
recommended to be “FoFF” which prevents activating auto tuning in basic display status.
Note 1: The advanced artificial intelligence algorithm is able to avoid overshooting problem of standard PID algorithm
and achieve precise control.
Note 2: If the setpoint is different, the parameters obtained from auto-tuning are possibly different. So you’d better set
setpoint to an often-used value or middle value first, and then start auto-tuning. For the ovens with good heat
preservation, the setpoint can be set to the highest applicable temperature. It is forbidden to change SV during auto
tuning. Depending on the system, the auto-tuning time can be from several seconds to several hours.
Note 3: Parameter CHYS (on-off differential, control hysteresis) has influence on the accuracy of auto-tuning.
Generally, the smaller the value of CHYS, the higher is the precision of auto tuning. But the value of CHYS parameter
should be large enough to prevent the instrument from error action around setpoint due to the oscillation of input. CHYS
is recommended to be 2.0.
Note 4: AI series instrument has the function of self-adaptation. It is able to learn the process while working. The
control effect at the first run after auto tuning is probably not perfect, but excellent control result will be obtained after a
period of time because of self-adaptation.

3. PARAMETERS AND SETTINGS

3.1 Parameter Lock (Loc) and Field Parameters
In order to protect important parameters from being modified by mistake but also offer enough flexibility for field control,
parameter lock (Loc) and field parameters are introduced.
The parameters need to be displayed and modified in the work field are called Field Parameters. The set of field
parameters is a subset of the whole parameter set, and can be freely chosen by user.
Loc can authorize different security right as below:
Loc=0～1, allowed to modify field parameters and setpoint, and execute auto tuning;
Loc=2, allowed to modify field parameters, but can’t modify setpoint.
Loc=3～255: can only modify “Loc”

Setting Loc=PASd (Password, a number between 256 and 9999. Default is 808) and then pressing to confirm will
enter the complete parameter table and modify all parameters.
1 to 8 field parameters can be defined by parameters EP1 to EP8. If the number of the field parameters is less than 8,
the first idle EP parameter should be set to “nonE”.
Parameters EP1 EP2 EP3 EP4 EP5 EP6 EP7 EP8 Loc
Default Value HIAL LoAL HdAL LdAL nonE nonE nonE nonE 0
You can redefine field parameters and Loc to change operation style. For example, you can execute auto tuning from field
parameter instead of by pressing in basic display status, and only take HIAL and HdAL as field parameter.

-1 ～ -120%: the instrument works as a bidirectional system having
heating/refrigerating dual output. When Act=rE or rEbA, OUTP (main output) works
as heating, and AUX (Auxiliary output) works as refrigerating. When Act=dr or drbA,
OUTP works as refrigerating, and AUX works as heating.
In a bidirectional system, the heating and refrigerating ability are generally different.

For example, for a heating/refrigerating air condition, its maximum power of
refrigerating is 4000W, and maximum power of heating is 5000W, and AUX works as
refrigerating, then
OPL=- (4000/5000)x100% = -80%
The range of AUX output can’t be freely defined by user. If the internal calculation
requires maximum output of AUX (AUX output=OPL), then in 4～20mA output, the
AUX output is 20mA. User can’t limit the maximum AUX output to 10mA.
Output upper OPL limits the maximum of OUTP (main output) when PV<OEF. OPH should be

At the beginning of power on, if PV<OEF, it takes OPrt for the output value of OUTP to
rise to OPH; if PV>OEF, then the time for output value of OUTP to rise to 100% is not
more than 5 seconds. This function is only needed by special requirement. 0~3600

Decimal Places
When the measuring value and all parameter value shows 0.1℃ or 0.1℉ during measuring temperature (depends on
parameter setting Fru), the range of parameter will become –999.0℃～+3000.0℃ or –999.0℉～+3000.0℉, even the
default range is-9990～+30000. The decimal place after 999.9 will be truncated. For linear signal definition, the decimal
place are only for display. The value showing does not affect internal resolution and scale.

Alarm blocking at the beginning of power on

Some unnecessary alarms often occur at the beginning of power on. In a heating system, at the beginning of powers on,
its temperature is much lower than the setpoint. If low limit and deviation low limit are set and the alarm condition are
satisfied, the instrument should alarm, but there is no problem in the system. Contrarily, in an refrigerating system, the
unnecessary high limit or deviation high limit alarm may occur at the beginning of power on. Therefore, AI instruments
offer the function of alarm blocking at the beginning of power on. When Act is set to rEbA or drbA, the corresponding low
or high alarms are blocked until the alarm condition first clears. If the alarm condition is satisfied again, the alarm will
work.

Temperature Transmitter
Besides AI PID, stand PID control and on-off control, if the output is defined as current output, the instrument can also
retransmit PV (process value) into linear current. The precision of current output is 0.2%FS, as 0.5%FS transmitter
counted whole system.
