description (contd) options a linear 4 to 20 ma or 0 to 10 vdc output signal is available to interface with actuators, chart recorders, indicators, or other controllers. the output signal can be digitally scaled and selected to transmit one of the following: % output power, process temperature value, process temperature value deviation or setpoint value. for linear dc control applications, the adjustable output demand dampening, output deadband and output update time parameters expand the versatility of the tcu with final control devices. the optional heater current monitor serves as a digital ammeter for heater current monitoring. current transformer accessory (ct005001), is required. an alarm event output can be programmed to signal when the heater or heater control devices have failed, before damage to process material occurs. the heater break alarm triggers under two conditions: 1) the main output (op1) is on and the heater current is below the heater current alarm value, indicating an aged or failed heater. 2) output (op1) is off and the heater current is more than 10% of the alarm value, indicating a shorted heater control device or other problem. the optional motorized valve positioner directly controls the position of a valve by the use of twin outputs (open and close) to control the direction of motor rotation. the motor position defines the opening position of the valve. two control modes are possible: position control, which makes use of the slidewire feedback signal supplied with the positioner and velocity control, in which no slidewire feedback signal is used. parameters are provided to adjust the operation of the valve. these include: valve activity hysteresis valve update time variable control dampening slidewire signal fail action adjustable valve position limits. the valve positioner tcu achieves tight process control, yet minimizes unnecessary valve activity. an alarm event output or display alarm can be programmed under loss of slidewire feedback or under valve fail detection. the optional second analog input (0-20 ma dc) can be configured as a remote setpoint signal or as a secondary process signal. configuration of the second analog input as a remote setpoint signal allows ratio control, master setpoint/multiple slave operation, and the ability to cascade the tcu with another controller (external cascade). configuration of the second input as a secondary process signal allows operation as a two-process cascade controller within a single unit (internal cascade). in either control mode, parameters are provided to scale, configure, communicate and monitor the activity of both analog inputs. a square law linearizer function can be used to linearize signals derived from flow transmitters. the optional rs485 multidrop serial communication interface provides two- way communication between a tcu unit and other compatible equipment such as a printer, a programmable controller, or a host computer. in multipoint applications the address number of each unit on the line can be programmed from 0-99. up to thirty-two units can be installed on a single pair of wires. the setpoint value, % output power, setpoint ramp rate, etc. can be interrogated or changed by sending the proper command code via serial communications. alarm output (s) may also be reset via the serial communications interface option. an optional type 4x/ip65 rated bezel is available for wash down and/or dirty environments, when properly installed. modern surface-mount technology, extensive testing, plus high immunity to noise interference makes the controller extremely reliable in industrial environments. safety summary all safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. if equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. do not use the tcu to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators not equipped with safeguards. to do so, can be potentially harmful to persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the unit. an independent and redundant temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly recommended. the indicators should have input sensors and ac power feeds independent from other equipment. specifications 1. display : dual 4-digit upper temperature display : 0.4" (10.2 mm) high red led lower auxiliary displa y: 0.3" (7.6 mm) high green led display messages (model dependent) : olol -

setpoint - % power output - temperature deviation - heater current - second input process value - temperature symbol (f or c) the six parameters can be scrolled through by pressing the dsp button. if enabled, the control setpoint or power output (manual mode only) can be directly modified in this mode. in the normal operating mode, parameters are selected by use of the par button and modified by use of the up and down buttons. parameters are then entered by the par button, which advances the user to the next parameter. pressing the dsp button immediately returns the controller to the normal operating mode when making a parameter change. the controllers configuration and parameter settings are stored in an internal e 2 prom device. hardware features the fast 100 msec input sampling rate provides quick controller response to a process disturbance, thus providing excellent temperature control. measurement accuracy of 0.15% or better, provides closer process control conforming to the desired control setpoint value. one model accepts a variety of both thermocouple or rtd temperature probes. the ac input power is switch selectable, allowing the unit to operate from either 115 vac or 230 vac. since the controller is serviceable from the front of the panel, the output modules may be easily changed or replaced without disturbing the wiring behind the panel. no re-programming is required when changing or replacing modules. the optional type 4x/ip65 rated model utilizes two bezel securing screws and a neoprene gasket to guarantee a water tight seal, when properly installed. the standard model simply requires pressing a latch to remove the unit. low-drift, highly stable circuitry ensures years of reliable and accurate temperature control. the recommended two-year re-calibration interval is easily accomplished via the programming menu. setpoint features the controller setpoint can be protected from out of range values by programming the setpoint range limit values. additionally, safeguards from inadvertent data entry can be programmed. the setpoint ramp feature ramps the setpoint value at start-up or any time a setpoint change is made, at a user programmable rate. this feature reduces thermal shock to the process and helps to minimize temperature overshoot.the setpoint may also be transmitted by the optional linear dc output for slave control loops. the second analog input may be configured as a remote setpoint. as such, the controller is easily switched from local/remote setpoint operation via the front panel or user input. ratio and bias parameters provide on-line scaling of the remote setpoint. absolute limit values and maximum rate of change of the remote setpoint further enhance controller flexibility. input features a programmable input filter can be used to stabilize readings from a process with varying or oscillating temperature characteristics, helping to provide better temperature control. a programmable temperature shift and slope function can be used to compensate for probe errors or to have multiple tcu units indicate the same nominal temperature. the programmable user input can be used to control a variety of functions, such as auto/manual transfer of the controller, reset alarm output(s), etc. the second analog input has independent scaling parameters to match the units of other processes or transmitters, or to match the controllers range. output features programmable output power limits provide protection for processes where excessive power can cause damage. automatic sensor probe break detection, for fail-safe operation, causes the controller to default to a programmed output power (upscale or downscale burnout). with adjustable time proportioning- cycle time, and programmable dc linear output, the controller can satisfy a wide variety of output requirements. programmable dampening output hysteresis and output update time parameters can dramatically reduce actuator activity without degrading control accuracy. the rs485 communication option allows the user to access various controller parameters such as the setpoint, % output power, % proportional band, etc. the controller may be setup to transmit various parameters at a programmable automatic print rate. auto-tune the tcu has an auto-tune feature which, on demand, automatically determines the pid control parameters for a particular thermal process. after completion of auto-tune, the pid parameters are automatically optimized for that process and loaded into nonvolatile memory. the operator may view and modify the parameters as desired. auto-tune may be invoked either at start-up or at setpoint, depending on the process requirements. an auto-tune programmable dampening factor produces various levels of process control and response characteristics. 4
5 options heating and cooling control the tcu has dual outputs for providing heating and cooling to those processes that require them. many extruder applications require both heating and cooling to maintain accurate extruder barrel and die temperatures. the tcu is easily configured for these applications. cooling configuration parameters cyc2 - enter cooling time proportioning cycle time gan2 - enter cooling relative gain db-2 - enter heat/cool deadband or overlap heater current monitor the heater current monitor serves as a heater element fail sentry, so operators can take corrective action before significant process errors occur in the event of a failure. the actual heater current can be viewed in the secondary display and/or a heater break alarm output can be programmed. heater current monitor configuration parameters hcur - enter full scale current of current transformer act1, act2 - program alarm(s) as heater break alarm motorized valve positioner the motorized valve positioner controls the position of a valve directly, by use of open and close control outputs. the slidewire feedback signals of the valve may optionally be connected to the controller. alternatively, the controller may be configured for linear input valve control using the 4 to 20 ma dc output. motorized valve positioner configuration parameters position mode: vps1 - enter or measure valve closed position vps2 - enter or measure valve open position vudt - enter valve update time vpdb - enter valve control deadband vfal - enter valve fail detect time act1 - program alarm as valve fail output velocity mode: vudt - enter valve update time vopt - enter valve open time vclt - enter valve close time vont - enter valve control deadband (minimum on time) internal cascade cascade control allows the process to be divided into two control loops: the primary control loop and the secondary control loop. the secondary loop receives its setpoint from the primary loop to control an intermediate variable (steam pressure). the control level of the intermediate variable is the input to the primary process. the primary loop (temperature) controller maintains loop regulation by manipulating the setpoint of the secondary controller. the setpoint of the secondary controller, in turn, changes the intermediate variable. the secondary loop can react faster to disturbances of the intermediate variable, thereby minimizing the effects to the primary control loop. control loops cascaded in such a manner provide greater control quality than would be possible with single loop control. a single tcu can accomplish two-process cascade control. internal cascade configuration parameters oper - select cascade mode root - select second input square root linearization dpt2 - select second input decimal point dsp1 - enter scaling units of second input inp1 - enter scaling units of second input dsp2 - enter scaling units of second input inp2 - enter scaling units of second input opd2 - output dampening of secondary internal cascade operational parameters sp-2 - view secondary setpoint value pb-2 - enter secondary proportional band it-2 - enter secondary integral time dt-2 - enter secondary derivative time external cascade similar to internal cascade control, external cascade control differs by the employment of two controllers, one of which is equipped with a second analog input configured as a remote setpoint. a pcu controls the secondary loop, while a tcu controls the primary loop. external cascade configuration parameters oper - select ratio mode root - select second input square root linearization dpt2 - select second input decimal point dsp1 - enter scaling units of second input inp1 - enter scaling units of second input dsp2 - enter scaling units of second input inp2 - enter scaling units of second input sptr - local/remote select options external cascade operational parameters rtio - remote setpoint ratio bias - remote setpoint bias dsp par %pw dev man al1 opn cls valve open output valve close output second input valve position main input process steam flow valve fail alarm al1 output dsp par %pw sec rem op1 al1 al2 linear dc output second input steam pressure steam flow process main input temperature (secondary variable ) (primary variable) dsp par %pw dev man op1 al1 al2 op1 rem dsp par sec %pw al2 al1 controller controller linear dc (primary output) second input remote setpoin t steam linear dc output main input process temperature (primary variable) process main input steam pressure (secondary variable) pcu tcu secondary primary dsp par %pw cur man op1 al1 al2 power control device heating element process current transformer main input temperature heater curren t main output (op1) heater break alarm al1 output dsp par %pw dev man op1 al1 op2 process heating control cooling control main output (op1) second output (op2) main input temperature 5
