1.0 INTRODUCTION  
The ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 is the key element used to form an innovative  
measurement and control system. It combines its power with an IBM PC or  
similar computer to deliver an extremely efficient data acquisition and process  
control system. The SYSTEM 32 concentrates its power in analog measurement,  
independent digital loop control, alarm monitoring, and signal processing. This  
frees the computer to perform process control supervision including: graphic  
process displays, operator data entry, data printout, data storage, and process  
performance analysis.  
The flexible ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 is built upon a series of cost effective plug  
in modules to handle a variety of diverse requirements. These plug in modules  
make it easy to configure the SYSTEM 32 to specifically fit individual application  
needs. Thus a tailored system can be obtained from off the shelf modules.  
The SYSTEM 32 is an excellent choice for applications where multiple inputs  
such as temperature, flow, speed, pressure, and others need to be measured or  
controlled. This is because a mixture of different sensor types can be directly  
connected to the SYSTEM 32. It is also well suited for processes with multiple  
temperature zones and control methods including cascade, ramp and soak, and  
adaptive control. The SYSTEM 32 is especially efficient since each controller  
provides independent stand-alone PID control of up to 32 process loops and up to  
96 channels of data acquisition.  
The result is a powerful distributed process control system with the reliability of  
independent loop control and the flexibility of computer supervision.  
1.1 SYSTEM FEATURES  
1.1.1 ACCURATE MEASUREMENT: Every process requires accurate  
data measurement. The SYSTEM 32 assures this with optically-isolated  
input modules.  
Further noise rejection is achieved by an integrating  
measurement technique. Input to input isolation is provided with reed relay  
switching. This combination enables the SYSTEM 32 to deliver needed  
accuracy in difficult process environments.  
1.1.2 CONVENIENT INSTALLATION: Substantial savings in wiring  
and installation costs can be achieved by locating SYSTEM 32 units  
physically near the process. This is because the communication between the  
SYSTEM 32 and the computer requires only four wires. A local or remote  
system of up to 16 units [512 loops] can be connected on a single serial line  
using RS-232, RS-485, or 20ma loop communication -- all optically-  
isolated. Larger systems may utilize multiple communication lines.

1.1.3 PROCESS INTEGRITY: The ANAFAZE approach delivers high  
integrity because the SYSTEM 32 independently controls and checks each  
loop for alarms while it is in turn checked by the computer. Thus a  
computer failure will not affect the process and a controller problem will be  
detected by the computer. Further integrity is built in to the SYSTEM 32  
since it has EEROM memory to protect control and alarm parameters. A  
watchdog timer with digital output adds to process integrity.  
1.1.4 MULTIPLE TYPES OF INPUTS AND CONTROL OUTPUTS:  
Since there is a large variety of processes and sensor types the system 32 has  
been designed to accept nearly any input and provide nearly any control  
output. Measurements from thermocouples, RTD's, infrared sensors,  
millivolt, milliamp, and other signals are directly connected the SYSTEM  
32. Thermocouple reference junction compensation and linearization is  
done by the SYSTEM 32. With plug in input modules, 16 to 96 inputs can  
be accommodated in a single SYSTEM 32.  
For control, each SYSTEM 32 includes, as standard, 32 digital outputs for  
time proportioning or on/off control.  
Additionally, 8 standard on/off  
outputs can be used for global alarm shutdowns or process warnings.  
Optional plug- in analog output modules provide open or closed loop  
control. Each module contains 16 outputs which includes both 4 to 20ma  
and 0 to 5Vdc outputs which can be selected individually for each output.  
1.1.5 STANDARD [ALLEN BRADLEY] COMMUNICATION  
PROTOCOL: The SYSTEM 32 utilizes a form of ANSI 3.28-1976  
standard protocol for communication. Jumper selection of CRC or BCC,  
and baud rate allow the system to matched to any host computer or other  
device. This ANSI standard is also used by Allen Bradley enabling the  
SYSTEM 32 to be connected directly to these programmable controllers.  
1.1.6 COMPACT EASILY MAINTAINED PACKAGING: Front plug  
in modules with removable screw terminal blocks provide high reliability  
and convenient maintainability. A 3 and 6 slot housing is available and the  
modules require a 5Vdc power supply which can be mounted internally or  
externally.  
1.2 PLUG IN SYSTEM 32 MODULES  
The flexible ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 design allows cost effective matching of  
measurement and control capabilities to the process needs. By selecting a  
combination of plug in modules the system will perform full PID control  
processing, communications to a host computer, industrial sensor measurement,  
and deliver precise control outputs.

Configurations can start with only the PROCESSOR I/O MODULE to provide 32  
time proportioning or on/off open loop control outputs. For closed loop control,  
simply add an ANALOG INPUT MODULE, either reed relay for 16 inputs, or  
solid state for 32 inputs. A plug in ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE provides 16  
analog control outputs.  
Systems can be matched to different applications by combining the following  
modules:  
1.2.1 PROCESSOR I/O MODULE: The on board microprocessor  
performs all necessary control calculations, on-line analog calibration,  
system self test, thermocouple compensation and linearization, and  
communication to the host computer.  
This module contains the  
communications interface, 32 time proportioning or on/off control outputs,  
24 digital outputs, and 16 digital inputs.  
Powerful Control: The SYSTEM 32 features a digital control algorithm  
that allows each loop to be independently defined. Control outputs can be  
set for closed loop or open loop with computer setting of the output level.  
Switching between open loop and closed loop control can be initiated with  
bumpless transfer. Closed loop control modes can be selected as: on/off,  
proportional only [P], proportional with integral [PI], or full PID. In  
addition, each output can be selected as reverse [heat] or direct [cool] acting  
and a programmable digital output filter can be used to further match each  
loop to the process conditions.  
Unique Control Output Flexibility: Total control flexibility is assured  
since each control output can be easily selected from the computer to match  
individual process needs. The unique ANAFAZE design offers: on/off,  
Cycle Time Proportioning, or Distributed Zero Crossing. Further flexibility  
is included since each output can be set as reverse or direct acting. When a  
process requires high power or the use of contactors, the SYSTEM 32 Cycle  
Time Proportioning outputs are automatically balanced to minimize the  
peak power consumption. For processes with solid-state power switching,  
the Distributed Zero Crossing outputs provide the smoothest application of  
control power.  
Open Heater Detection: The SYSTEM 32 measures the current flowing in  
each heater or other time proportioning output circuit to ensure that open  
heaters and stuck relays are detected.  
Protected Memory: Setpoints and other control parameters entered from  
the computer are stored in non-volatile memory eliminating the need to re-  
enter these parameters after a power failure.  
Communication Monitor: A communications monitor can be enabled that  
will turn off all control outputs after a selectable time period if no  
communication is received form the host computer.

1.2.2 ANALOG INPUT MODULES: Two optically-isolated analog input  
modules are available for the SYSTEM 32. A 16 channel reed relay  
switching module and a 32 channel solid state switching module. The reed  
relay module provides the highest level of input noise protection and the  
solid state module is more economical. The two types of input modules can  
be mixed in a single controller. Allowing up to 48 channels of reed relay  
inputs, 96 channels of solid state inputs , or any combination such as 32  
reed relay inputs with 32 solid state inputs. Both modules offer direct  
connection of industrial sensors including thermocouples, RTD's, infrared  
sensors, milliamp, and millivolt signals.  
1.2.3 PULSE INPUT MODULE: Allows measurement of speed, RPM,  
flow, and other inputs from sensor that produce pulse outputs. Each module  
accepts up to 32 inputs and optical- isolation can be optionally added where  
necessary. The pulse input module requires an expanded PROCESSOR I/O  
MODULE, please contact ANAFAZE for additional information.  
1.2.4 ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE: Provides 16 analog outputs for  
open or closed loop control. Both 4 to 20ma and 0 to 5vdc are available for  
each output [select one].  
1.2.5 HOUSING: provides fully enclosed mounting for all modules and  
includes a passive [no electrical components] interconnecting backplane. A  
3 and 6 slot housing is offered. The 6 slot housing can be mounted in  
standard relay racks. The six slot housing is 19" wide, 12.25" high, and  
only 7.5" deep. The 3 slot housing is 10 5/8" wide, 12.25" high, and 7.5"  
deep.  
1.2.6 POWER SUPPLY: All the SYSTEM 32 modules operate from this  
5vdc power supply. The power supply is furnished mounted to a standard  
module front panel and occupies one slot in the housing. If desired the  
power supply can be removed from the panel and externally mounted. This  
frees the slot for an other module. The power supply connects to terminals  
on the passive backplane.  
1.3 ANASOFT 32 -- POWERFUL OPERATING SOFTWARE  
Whether the process is simple or complex it must be defined and set up in order to  
control it. Therefor, another essential element of a successful measurement and  
control system is the application software. ANASOFT 32 is sophisticated menu  
driven software program for the SYSTEM 32 that runs on IBM PC and compatible  
computers. It is designed to be easily operated by inexperienced computer users  
and it offers full flexibility for complex applications.  
1.3.1 GRAPHIC PROCESS DISPLAYS: ANASOFT features a process  
monitor screen that provides an overview of the system status at a glance.  
Measured data can be displayed in either a graphic or numeric mode. On

line, real-time data for each input can be graphically plotted on the screen.  
Data is continuously stored for every input to provide a history over user  
selected time intervals. These on line plots enable quick analysis of process  
conditions for optimizing performance, tuning control loops, determining  
reasons for alarms, and other situations.  
1.3.2 TUNING AND PROCESS SET UP: The password protected tune  
menu displays necessary data for efficient tuning since it displays real time  
process information. Key selectable sub menus are used to enter control  
parameters, input scaling, trend plot scaling and time interval, warning  
levels, and alarm setpoints.  
1.3.3 DATA LOGGING: Hardcopy data is essential for record keeping,  
quality control, required agency reporting, and production reports.  
ANASOFT offers both automatic printer data logging, and disk data logging  
in LOTUS compatible files. An available option for data recording when the  
computer is not on line is the on-board memory option. This is 28.8k Bytes  
of RAM memory for each A32-PIOM module in the system.  
1.3.4 SYSTEM EXPANSION: ANAFAZE can provide complete turn key  
systems for advanced control applications. Ramp and soak, adaptive  
control, cascade control, and other types of systems can be designed and  
installed by ANAFAZE engineering. Since many applications can be based  
on ANASOFT, the cost and the time period for implementation is reduced.  
ANASOFT is written in Microsoft QUICKBASIC and the source code is  
provided for users that want to make their own modifications.

3.0 INSTALLATION  
There are some precautions that must be observed when installing SYSTEM 32:  
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK DANGER  
It is very important that all system power including the  
be disconnected before servicing the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32. HIGH  
VOLTAGE MAY BE PRESENT EVEN WHEN POWER IS TURNED  
OFF.  
power input  
To reduce the danger of electrical shock always mount the SYSTEM 32  
in an enclosure that prevents personnel contact.  
Since the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 can make measurements of input signals that  
are not referenced to ground, the SYSTEM 32 ground and other signal lines can  
have power line or other high voltage present even if the input power is turned off.  
This could happen, for example, if a thermocouple was inadvertently shorted to the  
AC power line.  
WARNING: USE CORRECT INSULATION TRIM LENGTH AND  
WIRE GAGE  
The correct insulation trim length is 1/4" or 5mm. Care must be taken  
to prevent contact between any wires and the case which is grounded.  
The terminal manufacturer has UL approval for #14 to #30 AWG  
(American Wire Gage). ANAFAZE recommends using #18 or #20  
AWG.  
To effectively use the plug-in terminals, the wire insulation should be trimmed so  
that the wire fits inside the terminal with no bare wire exposed. Stranded wire  
should be tinned.  
WARNING: SUPPORT CABLES  
Power, input, and output cables should be supported to reduce strain  
on the connectors and to prevent them from being pulled out of the  
terminal strips.  
3.1 PHYSICAL CONSIDERATIONS  
The ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 consists of a number of plug in modules for a  
housing with a passive backplane. Three or six slots are provided for plug-in  
option boards.  
3.1.1 MOUNTING [SEE DIAGRAMS ON NEXT 3 PAGES]  
For optimum performance when directly connecting thermocouple inputs  
the unit should be protected from thermal shocks whenever possible. This  
will minimize any temperature gradients across the terminal strips and result

3.1.3 DETACHABLE TERMINAL BLOCKS  
WARNING - ALWAYS CHECK TERMINAL LOCATION AND  
ORIENTATION  
All connections, except the Ac power supply, are made on removable  
terminal strips. Terminal strip removal is achieved by removing the  
retaining screws and pulling them directly away from the front panel. The  
terminal strips must be carefully installed in the correct position and not up  
side down.  
3.2 CONFIGURATION

3.2.2 COMMUNICATIONS WATCHDOG TIMER  
The communications timer provides a method of turning off all control  
outputs if there is a problem in the host computer that effects  
communication. It operates by monitoring activity on the communication  
line. If this controller has not been contacted within the time interval, it  
automatically sets all control outputs to manual with zero outputs.  
dedicated digital output is set when the watchdog times out.  
A
WARNING: IF THE COMMUNICATIONS WATCHDOG IS  
ENABLED, INSURE THAT THE HOST COMPUTER  
COMMUNICATES WITH EACH SYSTEM 32 WITH IN THE TIME  
LIMIT. IF NOT THE CONTROL OUTPUTS WILL BE SET TO  
MANUAL WITH ZERO OUTPUT.  
Switch Setting  
Watchdog Status  
Enabled  
On  
Off  
Disabled  
The hardware bit switch number 5 must be set to the "ON" position to  
enable the communications watchdog timer. If the switch is ON at startup  
then the controller constantly monitors the elapsed time between host  
communication packets and takes action should the elapsed time overflow  
the preset timeout period.  
Furthermore, the option may be disabled by the host. If a value of -1 is  
written into the timeout period counter then the controller disables the  
option and ceases to monitor elapsed time. To re-enable the option via  
software, the host must rewrite a valid timeout period to the watchdog  
counter.  
Timeout Period  
The host computer may adjust the timeout period value within the range of  
1 to 1092 seconds (or 18.2 minutes) with a resolution of one second. A 2-  
byte number representing the length of the timeout period in seconds can be  
written to the controller data table addresses 0290 and 0291 Hex.  
The default timeout period (set by the controller on startup/reset) is 2  
minutes (120 seconds).  
Controller Action on Timeout  
If the watchdog option is enabled and the elapsed time between  
communication packets from the host exceeds the set timeout period, the  
controller initiates a communications alarm sequence. This sequence  
involves the following :  
15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1. All control output types are set to MANUAL  
2. All output values for control outputs are set to 0%.  
3. Digital output 72 is set ON. This output is available at  
TB2, pin 30.  
4. The internal controller reset flag is set TRUE. (Hence the host  
will receive  
a
RESET status code upon re-establishing  
communication).  
3.2.3 BAUD RATE SELECTION  
Switch 6 is used to set the baud rate at either 2400 or 9600. If  
communication problems occur try 2400 baud.

3.3.2 POWER FUSE  
The SYSTEM 32 power supply is not fused. An external 1/2 AMP fuse in  
the AC input line is recommended.  
4.0 COMMUNICATIONS SET-UP AND CONNECTIONS  
The ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 is designed for three types of serial communications:  
RS-232, RS-485, and 20ma current loop. Up to 16 units can be connected on one  
communication line.  
4.1 RS-232  
The optically-isolated RS-232 interface is located on the processor module A32-  
PIOM. Multiple SYSTEM 32 units are connected in parallel. Connections are  
made on the upper terminal block TB1 as follows:  
Computer  
SYSTEM 32 [1]  
TB1  
SYSTEM 32 [2]  
TB1  
RX #3 ----------- TX- #2 ------------ TX- #2  
TX #2 ----------- RX+ #3 ------------ RX+ #3  
GND #7 ---------- RX- #4 ------------ RX- #4  
The computer pins are for the normal 25 pin RS-232 connector. On some  
computers transmit TX and receive RX may be reversed. Please check your  
computer manual for details.  
The ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 RS-232 interface transmits data on TX- and receives  
data on RX+. The host computer TXD output should be connected to the SYSTEM  
32 RX+ input. The SYSTEM 32 TX- output should be connected to the host  
computer RXD input. Host computer communication ground should be connected  
to the SYSTEM 32 RX-.  
Multiple SYSTEM 32 units are connected on the RS-232 line in parallel. The  
SYSTEM 32 nearest to the computer is connected as described above. Then each  
SYSTEM 32 is daisy chained wire for wire to the next unit. The next units' TX- is  
connected to the first units' TX-, RX+ to RX+, and RX- to RX- etc.  
WARNING: REMOVE JUMPER FOR MULTIPLE SYSTEM 32  
INSTALLATIONS  
Jumper JU18 must be removed on all but the farthest unit from the  
computer when multiple units are on the same communications line.

4.1.1 Other RS-232 Lines  
Some host computers or other RS-232 devices use additional communication lines  
that are not required by the SYSTEM 32. These include:  
RTS - Ready to Send  
CTS - Clear To Send  
DSR - Data Set Ready  
DTR - Data Terminal Ready  
If the host computer uses RTS and CTS or DSR and DTR, these lines should be  
connected together in pairs [or as shown in the computer manual]. Normally this is  
done in the RS-232 connector hood at the host computer. Alternately the effect of  
these lines can be eliminated in software. The ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 is ready to  
receive data; therefore these lines are not required.  
4.2 CURRENT LOOP  
The current loop interface is located on the processor module A32-PIOM. Current  
loop is recommended for longer cable runs and noisy environments. The  
ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 current loop is optically isolated. It uses an external  
power supply for the current loop which is normally included in the device  
communicating with the SYSTEM 32. Consult ANAFAZE for recommendations.

serial connections are continued until the last unit is reached. The last unit TX- is  
connected to the computer R-. T+ is connected to the first unit RX+ and the RX- is  
connected to the next unit RX+. The last unit RX- is connected to the computer T-.  
4.3 RS-485  
The RS-485 is a voltage balance long distance multi-point transmission interface. It  
may use 2 or 4 lines depending on system requirements.  
4.3.1 RS-485 Description  
The EIA Standard RS-485 specifies only the electrical characteristics of  
generators (transmitters) and receivers for use in digital multi-point systems.  
The specification of transmission lines, signaling rates, protocols, etc. is left  
entirely up to the user. The transmitters and receivers selected by Anafaze  
also meet the requirements of RS-422.  
The following information is intended to make recommendations for the  
application of the RS-485 interface to Anafaze equipment. This note covers  
4 wire communication. Anafaze equipment will also support 2 wire  
communication. Please contact the factory for recommendations.  
The maximum signaling rate used by the Anafaze System 32 and associated  
equipment is 9600 baud. Since this is far below the maximum signaling  
rate covered by the specification, satisfactory performance may be expected  
without strict adherence to all of the design rules. ANAFAZE has presented  
conservative recommendations to insure reliable operation. If deviations  
are necessary, please contact ANAFAZE.  
4.3.2 Cable Selection  
ANAFAZE recommends twisted shielded pairs for the RS-485 cables. The  
transmitters and receivers specified in RS-485 are very tolerant of cable  
characteristics, and some leeway is possible unless distances and signaling  
rates push the specification limits.  
One requirement is very important, as it impacts performance even down to  
low frequency operation. The loop resistance of the transmission line [wire  
only -- not terminating resistor] must not exceed 200 ohms for a properly  
terminated line with a reasonable margin for noise. Thus the following  
recommendations for distance and wire gauge should be observed:

6000 ft.  
28 AWG  
24 AWG  
22 AWG  
Alpha 3492  
Beldon 9729  
Beldon 9184  
The use of a shield depends on the noise environment and grounding  
considerations [4.3.3]. The above cables are shielded.  
4.3.3 Connections  
Connection of the Anafaze controllers to a system computer requires an  
interface at the computer to convert RS-232 levels to RS-485. Anafaze  
recommends Black Box Model LD485A for this purpose. The LD485A  
should be configured for DCE operation, with the RTS/CTS delay jumper in  
the "on" position.  
The RS-485 specification is for "balanced line" operation, and is not true  
differential. Thus a common connection is required between all stations on  
the communication line. This can be accomplished by either a 5th wire  
(which could be shield) or a common ground connection. The Anafaze  
system more conveniently supports the common ground connection,  
although 5th wire can be supported if required due to common mode  
voltages generated in a given installation. The 5th wire connection would be  
required only if the "common mode" voltage between stations exceeds the  
RS-485 specification of 7 volts peak. The power common in the Anafaze  
controller has been wired to chassis ground. To make sure the  
communication system works, the controller chassis must be electrically  
tied to Earth ground, and the host computer communication must be tied to  
Earth ground. If the host computer RS-232 communication is not referenced  
to Earth ground, then install the 100 ohm resistor in W7 as recommended by  
Black Box.  
Figure 1 shows the only recommended system hookup. (Other hookups may  
work fine). The transmitter from the host computer connects in parallel to  
the controller receivers, and the host computer receiver hooks in parallel to  
the controller transmitters. A single "daisy chain" is recommended. Octopus  
connections or "spurs" are discouraged. A termination resistor is required at  
each end of the transmission line. This is accomplished by applying a 200  
ohm resistor across the line at the farthest point from the computer  
transmitter, and by setting the Black Box SW2 to the "term" position to  
terminate the computer receive line.

5.0 ANALOG INPUTS  
Connecting analog signals to the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 is normally  
straightforward. Most signals, including thermocouples can  
be directly  
connected and mixed in any order. However, some problems may occur that could  
reduce accuracy and possibly damage the unit. Sections 5.1 through 5.4 indicate  
some of the potential areas for concern. [See typical input DIAGRAM in section  
5.13].  
5.1 COMMON MODE VOLTAGE  
Common mode voltage is the voltage between the ground at  
the ground at the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32. It can be an  
the sensor and  
AC or DC voltage  
and appears equally at the high and low  
input terminals. Frequently it is  
caused by large currents flowing in the ground path between the SYSTEM 32 and  
the sensors. The effects are minimized by locating the SYSTEM 32 as close as  
possible to the sensors. Do not exceed the maximum common mode voltage of  
150 volts AC.  
5.2 NORMAL MODE VOLTAGE  
Normal mode voltage appears across the terminals of the input and is the signal  
from the sensor plus any undesirable noise. The major cause of this noise is AC  
power line pick-up. The effects are reduced by the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32  
capacity to integrate the signal over a multiple of the power line frequency.  
Further reduction can be achieved by locating the SYSTEM 32 near the sensors  
and by using twisted and shielded sensor wires. To ensure accurate readings, the  
maximum of normal mode plus signal should not exceed -10mv to +65mv.  
5.3 GROUNDING  
For best accuracy, observe the grounding recommendations for connecting each  
input and output signal. The analog signal grounds should be connected to the  
low terminals on the analog input terminals. The communication and control  
outputs should also be connected with their respective grounds. Do not mix the  
grounds or connect them together. The analog input section is optically isolated  
from the processing and control section. Connecting the grounds together will  
negate this feature and could damage the unit. If possible, route the analog signal  
cables separately from the communication, control and power cables.  
5.4 SOURCE IMPEDANCE  
Each sensor has a certain output impedance which is effectively connected across  
the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 input amplifier when a measurement is made. To  
reach the rated accuracy, the maximum source impedance should not exceed 300  
ohms. Consult ANAFAZE for operation with higher source impedance.

5.5 ANALOG INPUT MODULES  
Two types of analog input modules are available for the SYSTEM 32. The A32-  
RRIAM -- REED RELAY ANALOG INPUT MODULE provides 16 analog  
inputs with reed relay switching. The A32-SSAIM -- SOLID STATE ANALOG  
INPUT MODULE provides 32 inputs with solid state switching. The A32-  
SSAIM also provides 32 digital outputs for special systems. The primary  
differences are:  
The REED RELAY ANALOG INPUT MODULE provides 250Vdc  
isolation between input channels and three wire switching: high, low, and  
shield for each input. This module allows connection of three and four  
wire RTD's and other special sensors. The REED RELAY ANALOG  
INPUT MODULE is also recommended where high noise is present or  
where grounded sensors are used and the ground potential difference will  
exceed 10 Vdc.  
The SOLID STATE ANALOG INPUT MODULE provides 32 inputs and  
includes a high and low switch for each channel. The solid state switching  
limits the channel to channel protection to 15Vdc. The SOLID STATE  
ANALOG INPUT MODULE should be used with un-grounded sensors, or  
sensors with the same ground potential [with-in 10Vdc].  
5.6 A32-RRIAM -- REED RELAY ANALOG INPUT MODULE  
The A32-RRAIM includes 16 analog inputs and a reference power supply. The  
module can be plugged into any housing slot.  
5.6.1 INPUT CIRCUITS  
The ANAFAZE A32-RRAIM contains an isolated area that can be used to  
install resistors to scale input voltages and connect inputs to match the -10  
to 60mv (-16.7% to 100%) input range. The input circuit is designed to  
enable connection of current inputs (such as 4 to 20ma), voltage inputs, and  
for connection of transducers (RTD) in bridge configurations. ANAFAZE  
will supply input scaling as needed -- order option A32-SI-XX. The input  
circuit is shown below:

RA, RB, RC, RD and RE are selected separately for each input and are  
labeled on the PC board for each loop. CH 1 (channel 1) is loop 1 etc.  
Resistors should be 0.1% metal film, 1/4 watt. Other components such as  
23  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
capacitors can be installed for signal conditioning. Please consult  
ANAFAZE. The PC board silk screen shows the resistor locations.  
5.6.2 USE OF THE SHIELD CONNECTION  
The shield connection provides a third input which is switched as each  
channel is measured. It is the ground reference for the measurement section.  
By switching this reference with every channel, the effective measurement  
ground can float to match the ground at the sensor, thus greatly reducing the  
error caused by different ground potentials (common mode).  
The system is factory set for use with non-shielded cables. Zero ohm  
resistors in the RD position connect each low input to shield. Normally  
when non-shielded cables are used, this will result in the lowest noise pick-  
up.  
If shielded cables are used, the shield should be connected to ground or the  
low signal output at the sensor if possible. If this is done, the RD resistor for  
that channel must be removed.  
WARNING - USE SHIELD CORRECTLY  
If the shield is used for any input always remove the factory installed  
RD resistor.  
5.6.3 VOLTAGE INPUTS  
DC Voltage inputs should be connected with the positive side to the HIGH  
terminal and the negative side to the LOW terminal. The input range is -10  
to +60 mv. Signals greater than 60 mv must be scaled with resistors to  
match the input full scale to 60 mv. For scaling the positive input should be  
connected to the AUX terminal and the negative input to the LOW terminal.  
The scaling resistor RA is selected as the voltage dropping and/or current  
limiting resistor. RB is selected for the 60 mv full scale dropping resistor. It  
should normally be less then 300 ohms and should never be greater then  
1000 ohms. Any value above 1000 ohms for RB will cause error due to the  
upscale burnout circuit. Typical standard value scaling resistors are as  
follows:  
0-100mv 0-500mv 0-1v  
RA= 499 ohms 5.49k 6.91k  
0-5v  
39.2k  
0-10v  
49.9k  
RB= 750 ohms 750 ohms 442 ohms 475 ohms 301 ohms  
ACC.= +.1% +.1% +.2% -.2% -.1%  
Please note section 5.6.2 regarding the shield connection.  
Please note section 5.8 regarding scaling and calibration.  
The above values are standard metal film values and will give an accuracy  
of +/- .25% when using .1% tolerance resistors.  
Any possible error due to resistor tolerance may be corrected by using  
scaling in ANASOFT.

5.6.4 DC CURRENT INPUTS  
Current inputs from transmitters are accommodated by placing resistors in  
the input section to convert the current input into a voltage. Different  
current input ranges are accommodated by selecting the proper resistor  
values. In general RC is selected to maintain a low source resistance. RA  
and RC produce the input full scale of 60mv. The positive input should be  
connected to the AUX terminal, and the negative input to the LOW  
terminal. The following input values are suggested:  
4 to 20 ma  
RA = 93.1 ohms  
0 to 10 ma  
RA = 26.7 ohms  
RB = 20.0 ohms  
RB = 20.0 ohms  
RC = 20.0 ohms  
RC = 20.0 ohms  
Load resistance=17 ohms  
Load Resistance=14 ohms  
A single 0.1% resistor may be used in place of the above resistors although  
a small error may occur. This error can be corrected in using the scaling in  
ANASOFT.  
4 to 20 ma  
0 to 10 ma  
RB = 3.000 ohms  
RB = 6.000 ohms  
Please note section 5.6.2 regarding the shield connection.  
Please note section 5.8 regarding scaling and calibration.  
5.6.5 THERMOCOUPLE INPUTS  
All thermocouple types may be directly connected to the ANAFAZE  
SYSTEM 32. Types J,K,T,R,S,C, and B linearization and cold junction  
compensation are provided standard in the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32. For  
other thermocouple types, optional input ranges are required.  
Thermocouples should be connected with the positive lead to the HIGH  
terminal and the negative lead to the LOW terminal. Note section 4.5 on  
shielding.  
5.6.6 RTD INPUTS  
RTD's can be connected in different configurations including bridge  
circuits, three wire and four wire -- please request a copy of the ANAFAZE  
RTD application bulletin.  
The standard industrial RTD is a 100 ohm Platinum three wire assmbly.  
THE ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 WILL BE CONFIGURED FOR THE  
STANDARD THREE WIRE RTD INPUT UNLESS OTHERWISE  
SPECIFIED.  
ANAFAZE recommends using only the 3-wire or 4-wire RTD configuration  
for high accuracy.  
Due to multiple ranges, different RTD range resistors, and special  
linearization of the RTD range for high accuracy, the RTD INPUT should  
be factory installed. If less accuracy is acceptable, please request the  
ANAFAZE RTD application bulletin to field install the RTD input.

10madc input. See section 5.6.4  
To use more than the factory installed four IRSM with the SYSTEM 32, use  
an external power supply of 8-15vdc.  
If desired a second input can be used to monitor the IRSM internal ambient  
temperature. Please consult ANAFAZE for additional IRSM information.  
5.7 A32-SSAIM -- SOLID STATE ANALOG INPUT MODULE  
The A32-SSAIM provides for 32 differential analog inputs. Analog input  
connections are made on two terminal blocks and the module can be plugged into  
any housing slot.  
Only the -10 to +60mvdc range may be used with this module. If it is desired to  
connect current signals to the input of this module then it will be necessary to use  
the single loading resistor mounted on the plug in terminal block. See section  
5.6.4 for resistor values.

5.8 SCALING AND CALIBRATION  
Since a computer is used to display the reading and load the setpoints, a  
mathematical step can be used to convert measurements and setpoints to  
engineering units and correct for known sensor calibration errors.  
For example, the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 does all thermocouple calculations in  
degrees F since this provides almost twice the resolution of degrees C. If degrees  
C display and setpoints are desired the computer makes the F to C conversion as  
data is received from the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 and converts the setpoints from  
C to F as they are sent to the controller.  
In a similar manner, linear sensors can be converted to engineering units and  
adjusted for known calibration errors with a conversion step. For a linear sensor  
two outputs can be measured (x1 and x2) and converted into engineering units (y1  
and y2) using the standard formula:  
y = mx + b  
where m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)  
and b = y2 - mx2 or b = y1 - mx1  
The same conversion formula can be used to convert the desired setpoint into a  
percentage of full scale which allows the ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 to control to  
the actual measured signals while the computer displays the measurements and  
setpoints in engineering units. This approach eliminates the need for  
potentiometers and other analog adjustments on each input channel.  
The ANASOFT-32 software for the IBM PC and compatible computers includes  
these scaling functions as part of the menu driven program. Please consult  
ANAFAZE for additional information.

6.0 CONTROL OUTPUTS  
Control outputs are provided from the A32-PIOM -- PROCESSOR I/O MODULE  
for digital outputs and the A32-AOM -- ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE for  
analog outputs. The A32-AOM is not required for systems that do not need  
analog outputs. The A32-PIOM provides the digital control outputs, the serial  
communication, and miscellaneous digital inputs and outputs.  
WARNING -- GROUND LOOP POTENTIAL  
The ground of every control output is connected to the ANAFAZE 32  
PID logic ground. Use caution when connecting external devices that  
may have their low side at a voltage other than controller ground,  
since potential ground loops can be created. Use isolated relays or the  
isolated control device inputs if possible grounding problems are  
expected.  
6.1 PROCESSOR I/O MODULE  
Most PROCESSOR I/O MODULE [PIOM] connections are provided on plug in  
terminal blocks. Additional inputs and outputs are provided on ribbon cable  
connectors. The control outputs are also available on ribbon cable connectors to  
simplify external wiring. The pins used on the ribbon cable connectors can be to  
connect these inputs and outputs to external terminal strips or standard I/O  
module boards such as the Gordos PCB24.  
TB1 IS THE UPPER TERMINAL BLOCK and TB2 IS THE LOWER  
TERMINAL BLOCK. J1, J2, and J3 ARE CONNECTORS FOR RIBBON  
CABLES. These connectors can be used to reduce point to point wiring and must  
be used for the additional input and output connections.  
Output 65 is used by the controller to indicate a high deviation alarm and output  
66 to indicate a low deviation alarm. Output 67 is used by ANASOFT 32 to  
indicate a computer determined high process alarm and output 68 for the  
corresponding low alarm.  
Typical control outputs utilize external optically-isolated solid-state relays. These  
relays use a 3 to 32vdc input for control and can be sized to switch up to 50 amps  
at 480vac. For larger currents these relays can be used to drive contactors.  
Connections are made as follows:

6.1.1 PROCESSOR READY  
The processor READY is a Watchdog Timer Output from the PIOM and is  
an indication that the microprocessor is running its program. This output is  
available at READY Pin #33 of the TB2 on the PROCESSOR I/O  
MODULE (PIOM).  
This output is on [will sink current] whenever the microprocessor is  
functioning properly. The READY output takes about 2 seconds upon  
power up to indicate ready. The output is an open collector NPN transistor  
to ground, capable of sinking 15ma. Maximum ratings of 24vdc at 25ma  
should not be exceeded.  
To use the READY output as a TTL signal, connect a 4.7Kohm resistor  
from the +5v supply Pin #31 to READY Pin #33 of TB2. Pin #33 will be  
TTL low(0v) with respect to ground Pin #32, when the processor is ready or  
running. Pin #33 will be TTL high(5v), when the processor is not  
functioning.

Ready 33 O--------------------O  
To use the READY output to energize a relay, an optically- isolated solid-  
state relay [SSR] is recommended. The control signal is +5v. Connect the  
positive terminal of the SSR to Pin #31 and the negative terminal to Pin  
#33. When the microprocessor is ready, the relay will be energized. Upon  
failure of the microprocessor, the relay would be de-energized. A Gordos  
#OAC5A or #G280D10 equivalent is recommended.

6.1.2 OUTPUTS ENABLE: A32-PIOM ONLY  
The control outputs from the PIOM [TPV, ON-OFF, and DZC] for all 32  
Loops are off, when Outputs ON Pin #35 of TB2 is TTL high or open. Also,  
the outputs are off, whenever the microprocessor is not ready.  
WARNING: If the outputs are not enabled through Pin 35, there will  
be no control output from the PIOM. The Outputs enable has no  
effect on the analog control outputs [A32- AOM].  
To enable the outputs, Outputs ON Pin #35 must be tied to ground Pin #32  
by a jumper. If so desired, a relay contact may be used that would enable the  
outputs from some external circuit, such as a safety device. The outputs may  
also be enabled or disabled by a TTL signal. A TTL low will turn the  
outputs on and a TTL high will turn the outputs off. The TTL input should  
be connected between ground pin 32, and the Outputs ON pin 35.  
Jumper to keep  
outputs enabled.

6.3 ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE A32-AOM  
Analog control outputs are provided for the SYSTEM 32 by using the A32-AOM.  
Each module provides 16 analog outputs and up to two modules can be used in a  
single SYSTEM 32 for 32 control outputs.  
The AOM provides both 4 to 20ma with 400 ohms maximum load and 0- 5vdc at  
5ma maximum. Both are available at the output terminals and either may be  
selected.  
WARNING: Both outputs may not used at the same time on the same  
loop. THE OUTPUTS WILL BE IN ERROR.  
WARNING: The grounds of all the analog outputs on a single  
module are connected together. Ground loop problems and potential  
damage can result if the outputs are connected to devices that have  
common mode or other voltages on their terminals. Contact  
ANAFAZE for isolated outputs.  
6.3.1 Typical Connections  
The output connections are designated as C for the positive terminal of the  
current loops along with the loop number and the negative side of the  
current loop is to any of the terminals labeled NEG.  
The positive output connections for the voltage loops are V along with the  
loop number and the negative side is to any of the terminals labeled NEG.  
Typical Analog Output Connections are:

7.0 DETAILED MODULE DESCRIPTIONS  
7.1 PROCESSOR I/O MODULE -- A32-PIOM  
The PIOM is the main processor for the SYSTEM 32 and is required in each  
system. The only PIOM option available for standard systems is the type of  
communications interface.  
The PIOM has two microprocessors, an 8031 and 8088. These microprocessors  
perform all the SYSTEM 32 software operations using programs stored in  
PROM's. The 8031 primarily manages the I/O functions including  
communications, while the 8088 performs the control calculations including PID  
and linearization thermocouple and other inputs. Other software functions include  
self-test of the system, on-line analog calibration, and open heater detection.  
The PIOM is comprised of a two board set, the larger board is the 8031 processor  
and the smaller piggy back board is the 8088.  
The SYSTEM 32 microprocessor programs allow control parameters and other  
operating conditions, such as input types, to be entered from an external computer  
through the built in serial interface. Communications protocol is a form of ANSI  
X3.28-1976, which is compatible with Allen-Bradley PLC's.  
Up to 29 parameters, such as input type, control setpoint, deviation alarms, PID  
constants, can be entered for each loop. These parameters can be stored by  
command in EEROM, and the SYSTEM 32 will start according to these  
parameters on application of power or after a microprocessor reset.  
WARNING: Only a safe set of parameters should be stored in  
EEROM, since the system will automatically start with these values.  
7.1.1 Control Outputs and Digital Inputs and Outputs  
The standard SYSTEM 32 PIOM has 32 digital control outputs, 8 alarm and  
status outputs, an additional 16 digital outputs, and 16 digital inputs.  
In the simplest SYSTEM 32 configuration, the PIOM may be used without  
any other modules as an open loop controller with 32 manually set control  
outputs. The outputs can be set to any level [percent of full scale] from the  
system computer.  
When used for closed loop control, the 32 control outputs correspond to the  
first 32 analog inputs. Additional analog inputs up to 96 total per PIOM,  
are used for data acquisition. A special version of the SYSTEM 32 is  
available for 48 control loops.  
The control outputs may be independently software set as on/off, or pulsed  
dc outputs with a choice of Cycle Time Proportioning or Distributed Zero  
Crossing. The control action can be independently set for Reverse [Heat] or  
38

Direct [Cool]. The outputs are 5vdc at 16ma maximum and are normally  
used to switch optically-isolated solid-state relays (SSR's).  
The alarm and status outputs include a global high and low deviation and a  
watchdog timer which are set by the SYSTEM 32. If ANASOFT-32 is used  
in the system computer, a global high and low process alarm output is set  
from the system computer. These outputs are also 5vdc and are designed to  
connect to SSR's.  
The additional digital I/O are used by special versions of ANASOFT-32.  
Eight digital outputs are available on the terminal strips, and the remaining  
8 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs are provided on a 50 pin ribbon cable  
connector. The pin configuration is compatible with standard I/O modules  
such as Gordos PB24.  
7.1.2 Communication  
The type of communication interface is determined by the distance the 32  
System will be from the host computer. The communications interface type  
is set at the factory. RS-232 is recommended up to 50 feet although it can  
be used up to 500 feet with special cables in low electrical noise  
environments. For longer distances either the 20ma Current Loop (up to  
5000 ft.), or the RS-485 (up to 10,000 ft.) is recommended. The 20ma  
current loop is a dual twisted pair serial connection and RS-485 is 4 or 2  
wire balanced line parallel connection.  
7.1.3 Address and Option Switch  
An 8-position dip switch on the PIOM provides for the address selection.  
The addresses allow up to 16 SYSTEM 32 PIOM's to be on the same  
communication line. It also allows selection of the baud rate of 2400 or  
9600 as well as other communication parameters.  
7.1.4 Terminal Blocks  
Push on, screw locked terminal blocks are provided on each module for  
connection of field wiring. The blocks are large enough for most types of  
input wiring. The blocks can be removed to service the modules without  
the need to remove the field wiring. The blocks also include temperature  
stabilization to improve the reference junction compensation when  
thermocouples are directly connected.  
7.2 REED RELAY ANALOG INPUT MODULE -- A32-RRAIM  
The RRAIM provides the connections for up to 16 analog inputs to the SYSTEM  
32. Analog inputs are sequentially switched to a frequency [V/F] converter  
powered by an isolated supply. The pulse output from this V/F passes through an  
optical-isolator and to the PIOM where the pulses are counted and the readings are  
determined. In addition to the analog inputs, two temperature sensors at each end  
of the terminal blocks are measured for use as an electronic reference junction for  
directly connected thermocouples.

7.2.1 Automatic Calibration  
The RRAIM includes two additional inputs: a full scale and a zero signal  
that are used by the PIOM for automatic full scale and zero calibration. The  
zero input is read on one scan to calibrate the analog amplifier zero, on the  
next scan the full scale input is read to calibrate the amplifier gain. The  
next two scans are used to read the thermocouple reference temperatures  
and then the calibration cycle starts again. Thus calibration is automatically  
updated every two seconds.  
7.2.2 Noise Rejection  
The 16 channel reed relay input provides the highest level of protection  
from input noise present in most industrial applications. By using a 3-pole  
relay and switching both inputs for true differential measurement, and the  
shield for noise rejection, up to 180vac of common mode voltage may be  
present on an input without effecting calibration.  
For further noise protection, the integration period for the voltage to  
frequency converter is set at one period of the 60Hz power line frequency.  
The provides high rejection of power line induced noise.  
7.2.3 Resolution  
The combination of the integration time period and the full scale frequency  
output of the V/F results in a measurement resolution of one part in 5000, or  
0.02%. This is slightly higher than 12 bit [one part in 4096] resolution.  
The resolution of 0.02% full scale results in a measurement resolution of  
better than 14 microvolts. This means that the typical thermocouple  
o
o
resolution for a type J or T is 0.5 F, for a type K 0.75 F, and for type R or  
S 2.0 F.  
o
7.2.4 Scanning Speed  
The SYSTEM 32 with the RRIAM, measures each input twice per second.  
The PIOM performs the complete PID calculations for all loops in less than  
this time, thus every loop is updated twice per second. The PIOM scans  
each RRAIM in parallel so the addition of RRAIM's to the system will not  
add to the scanning or loop update time.  
7.2.5 Analog Input Range  
The analog input range of the RRAIM is -10 to +60mv. To measure other  
inputs, such as 4-20 ma, scaling resistors are used. The RRAIM contains an  
isolated section for the purpose of mounting scaling resistors. These  
resistors may be mounted by the factory [order A32-SI as needed] by the  
user.  
7.2.6 RTD Excitation Voltage  
The excitation voltage for RTD's is 10vdc at 50ma max. When using RTD's,  
a max current of 3ma per sensor is recommended to avoid self-heating of  
the RTD as well as avoiding overloading the RRIAM power supply.

7.2.7 Open Thermocouple Detection  
The RRIAM has upscale open thermocouple detection which is  
accomplished by placing a small current through the thermocouple leads.  
The input source impedance may go as high as 200 ohms before rated  
accuracy is effected.  
7.2.8 Address Selection  
Each RRIAM has a jumper for address selection of the RRIAM in the  
SYSTEM 32. As many as three RRAIM's may be used per system.  
7.3 SOLID STATE ANALOG INPUT MODULE -- A32-SSAIM  
The SSAIM is similar to the RRAIM except that the input channels are switched  
with 2 wire solid state multiplexers instead of 3 pole reed relays. The result is less  
voltage standoff [10volts maximum] between the inputs and the input grounds.  
The number of input channels is increased to 32 at about the same cost of 16 reed  
relay inputs.  
The scan rate is still at 32 channels per second, thus each channel is updated every  
second. The PIOM still scans the SSAIM's in parallel, thus additional SSAIM's  
will not add to the scanning time.  
The maximum number of SSAIM's per system is three. This gives a total of 96  
inputs for a low cost data acquisition system.  
Both RRAIM's and SSAIM's can be used in the same SYSTEM 32. The first 32  
inputs are used for closed loop control.  
7.4 ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE -- A32-AOM  
The AOM is used when an analog output signal is required to control the final  
control element. The 16 channel AOM provides a 4-20ma output [maximum load  
400 ohms] or 0-5v output [5ma maximum]. Either output can be selected for each  
loop on the terminal block.  
Warning: Only one output may be used for each loop.  
Other outputs are available upon special order, contact ANAFAZE.  
The 8-bit Digital/Analog (D/A) converter supplies the necessary signal to the output  
transistors according to the PIOM control calculations. The analog control output  
for a particular loop verses a digital control output on the PIOM is software  
selected.  
The output transistors have a compliance voltage of 8vdc and all outputs share a  
common ground which is isolated from the system ground.  
Warning: The analog outputs must not be connected to devices that  
feedback power line AC or other voltages to the AOM. If there is  
voltage present optical isolators must be used.  
ANAFAZE for more information.  
Please consult

Each AOM has an address Dip switch for address selection of the AOM in the 32  
System. Up to two AOM's may be used in each SYSTEM 32.  
7.5 PULSE INPUT MODULE -- A32-PIM  
The PIM counts up to 32 pulse inputs at maximum pulse rates of 1kHz with 50%  
duty cycle pulses. The A32-PIM can only be used in systems with an expanded  
PROCESSOR I/O MODULE [A32-PIOM-EX].  
7.6 POWER SUPPLY----PART NO. A32-PS  
The power required by the SYSTEM 32 is 5 vdc at 5 amps. Each module of the  
SYSTEM 32 has a DC to DC converter for isolation and to provide the regulated  
voltages used. These voltages are typically +5vdc and +15vdc.  
Since each module includes isolation and regulation, nearly any 5vdc supply can be  
used. The SYSTEM 32 can be run from battery power since only a single voltage  
is required.  
The A32-PS includes a standard SYSTEM 32 front panel, and wiring to the  
SYSTEM 32 backplane. The power supply is normally mounted in one module  
slot. For systems that require all the slots for other modules, the power supply can  
be mounted externally.  
The rating of the A32-PS is 120 vac input with 5 vdc at 7 amp output. The power  
supply has an adjustment for the 5 vdc.  
For a spare supply, option A32-PSWOFP [Power Supply With Out Front Panel] is  
available.  
7.7 OPERATOR STATION -- A32-OS  
The OPERATOR STATION is used to view the measured input value or Process  
Variable (PV) for any loop of the SYSTEM 32. The OPERATOR STATION can  
also be used to change the Setpoint (SP) of a loop at a remote location from the  
computer.  
The OPERATOR STATION is a panel mount 1/8 DIN LED readout instrument  
utilizing the communication line from the computer to the 32 System. The  
OPERATOR STATION front panel contains the function keys for the display  
selection and setpoint changing.

The OPERATOR STATION requires ANASOFT-32 to be running in the system  
computer. It obtains its readings and changes the setpoints through the computer.  
The OPERATOR STATION can select any PIOM and any loop in the system for  
display and changes. The SP may be viewed for any loop in the system and may, if  
elected by the customer, be changed from the OPERATOR STATION. The ability  
to change SP from the OPERATOR STATION is selected in ANASOFT-32 by the  
user.

8.0 PID CONTROL  
This section provides some common definitions of control terms and information  
on control loop tuning.  
8.1 CONTROL LOOPS  
A control loop may consist of four or five elements depending upon the placement  
of the functions of some elements. These elements are defined as follows:  
PRIMARY ELEMENT: This senses the PROCESS VARIABLE (PV), a  
thermocouple (T/C) measuring temperature is an example.  
SIGNAL CONDITIONER ELEMENT: this may be required between the  
PRIMARY ELEMENT and the CONTROLLER ELEMENT if the signal  
cannot be directly connected to the CONTROLLER ELEMENT. An  
example is a pH transmitter.  
CONTROLLER ELEMENT: accepts the signal from the PRIMARY  
ELEMENT and sends the appropriate control signal to the FINAL  
CONTROL ELEMENT. An example is the SYSTEM 32.  
FINAL CONTROL ELEMENT: accepts the control signal from the  
CONTROLLER ELEMENT and controls the MANIPULATED  
VARIABLE ELEMENT. An example is a motor positioning valve unit for  
the control of natural gas into a burner system or a Solid State Relay (SSR)  
controlling voltage into an electric load.  
MANIPULATED VARIABLE ELEMENT: is the energy of the process  
such as steam, natural gas, etc... needed by the process for the Process  
Variable to reach Setpoint.  
The FINAL CONTROL ELEMENT may be controlled in open loop, that is with  
out feedback or direct measurement of the Process Variable. For open loop control  
the control output from the CONTROLLER ELEMENT is set to some output level  
to produce a desired effect. This assumes that the process is slow enough for  
corrective action to be taken based on information from another source other than  
the PRIMARY ELEMENT or the process characteristics are such that open loop  
control will hold the Setpoint within desired limits.  
Closed loop makes use of feedback from the process, comparing the Process  
Variable to the Setpoint, and changing the control output automatically as required  
to control the process.  
OPEN LOOP is also known as MANUAL CONTROL, while CLOSED LOOP is  
known as AUTOMATIC CONTROL.  
8.1.2 CONTROL MODES  
The control mode is the form of control function. In the SYSTEM 32 the  
choices are: on/off, proportional [P], proportional and integral [PI], and  
proportional with integral and differential [PID]. The control mode should  
44  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
not be confused with with the type of control output signal: for example  
pulsed DC voltage or analog output.  
8.1.3 ON/OFF CONTROL  
The simplest way to control the PROCESS VARIABLE (PV), for example  
temperature on an oven, to a desired SETPOINT (SP), operating  
temperature, is to use ON/OFF control. When the temperature is below the  
setpoint the heat is turned fully on and when the temperature is above the  
setpoint the heat is turned fully off. The result of ON/OFF control is usually  
the cycling of the PV around the SP. The amount of PV deviation from the  
SP is primarily due to the process dynamics rather then the controller gain.  
Most ON/OFF controllers GAIN, [also known as DEADBAND,  
HYSTERESIS, or SENSITIVITY] is a fixed percentage of the controller  
o
o
input span. Thus, a gain of 1/2% of a 0-1400 F Type J span would be 7 F.  
This means the controller will not switch the output on, until the PV falls  
o
below SP by 3.5 F and will not switch the output off, until the PV rise  
above SP by 3.5 F. Occasionally the deadband is too narrow for the  
o
process and intermittent chattering of the Final Control Element may be  
present. An adjustable gain on the ON/OFF controller function is very  
useful for eliminating Final Control Element chatter. The SYSTEM 32  
provides adjustable gain for ON/OFF control loops.  
The Final Control Element most often used with ON/OFF control is the  
relay. For example relays can be used for electrical heating loads, solenoid  
valves, and two-position motor control.  
8.1.4 PID CONTROL  
PID or 3-mode control is used when ON/OFF control is not satisfactory for  
the control requirements of the process. If cycling of the PV cannot be  
tolerated, if process loading is a variable, and if the SP is changeable, then  
PID would most likely be used in place of ON/OFF control.  
The PID initials stand for PROPORTIONAL, INTEGRAL, and  
DERIVATIVE. The SYSTEM 32 utilizes the ISA standard PID equation  
to calculate the control output as follows:  
U = 1  
---  
K (e + 1 edt + K de)  
p
D
--  
--  
FSR  
T
dt  
I
Where:  
U is the control output in percent of output full scale. For a 4-20ma  
output, 0% is 4ma, 50% is 12ma, and 100% is 20ma.  
e is the error [the difference between the PV and SP].  
FSR is the full scale range of the measured input. For a J thermocouple  
o
o
the full scale range is -350 to 1400 F, or 1750 .  
45

Kp is the proportional gain, and FSR/Kp is referred to as the  
proportional band PB. The gain can be set from 0 to 255 for the  
SYSTEM 32. Note that when gain is specified in the control equation  
the output would be different for the same error if a different full scale is  
used. If PB is used the FSR cancels out and the PB is independent of  
the input range.  
TI is the integral or reset time, and 1/TI is referred to as the reset rate.  
For the SYSTEM 32, the integral or reset time can be set from 0 [off] to  
1020 seconds with 4 second resolution. This corresponds to a reset rate  
of 0.05 to 15 repeats per minute.  
TD is the derivative time and the range for the SYSTEM 32 is 0 [off] to  
255 seconds or 0.01 to 4.25 minutes.  
8.1.5 PROPORTIONAL CONTROL [P]  
Proportional control is when the control output signal is linearly  
proportional to the error. In the above equation the integral and derivative  
effects are zero. For the SYSTEM 32 this is accomplished by setting the  
integral and derivative constants to zero. The proportional constant is also  
known as gain.  
As the gain of the controller is increased a small increase in error will cause  
a large change in the control output. Since cycling of the PV can result  
from high gain, reducing the gain is one way to improve stability.  
In the control equation, once the error times the gain divided by the full  
scale range reaches 100% [full control output] additional error cannot  
increase the control output. If the error is less than this value a control  
response proportional to the error is made. Thus if the error is less than  
FSR/K it is said to be within the PROPORTIONAL BAND (PB). The PB  
p
is equal to the full scale of the controller input divided by the gain. Thus a  
o
gain of 100, for a thermocouple with a range of 0 to 1400 F, results in a  
o
proportional band of 140 F.  
Using ANASOFT-32 for the SYSTEM 32 allows the a choice of displays  
for the proportional function. This function can be shown and entered as  
either Gain or Proportional Band. If proportional band is selected, the  
values can be entered IN THE ACTUAL ENGINEERING UNITS OF THE  
INPUT regardless of the span of the instrument. Thus, a PB of 30 represents  
o
30 F for any thermocouple input range in the SYSTEM 32.  
Gain may also be used, but once again the input span of the controller  
o
becomes critical. For the SYSTEM 32, a gain of 30 represents 48 F PB for  
o
o
a Type J T/C, 87 F for a Type K T/C, and 29 F for a Type T T/C. To  
obtain PB divide the span by the gain setting.  
46  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
For temperature control, the most useful and easiest to use entry is the PB in  
actual degrees for the SYSTEM 32. The nominal setting of the PB can be  
o
between 5-20% of the SP. Thus, a SP of 300 F may require a PB of 15-60  
o
F. To start use 10% of the SP.  
A good way of establishing a PB setting is to start at a wide PB and then to  
keep decreasing the PB [increasing gain] until the process cycles about the  
SP. Take note of the PB at this point and double the figure. PB should be set  
at this number. Reset should be set to a low value such as .3 [or set integral  
to zero: off] and derivative should be at zero [off] before tuning PB.  
o
o
The PB of 30 F with a SP of 300 F specifies that the output from the  
controller will change proportionally from 0 to 100% over 30 degrees. The  
o
output will be at 0% or 100%, if the PV is outside the PB of 30 F from the  
SP of 300 F. Below 270 F [greater than a 30 error] the output will be at  
100%, at 285 F it will be at 50% and at 300 F and above it will be at 0%.  
o
o
o
o
o
All PID control functions take place within the PB, otherwise the controller  
output is full on or full off with no Integral or Derivative action.  
8.1.6 PROPORTIONAL AND INTEGRAL CONTROL [PI]  
The Integral mode is also known as RESET action. Reset is the older of the  
two terms and is descriptive of the control action that takes place. The  
primary reason for for integral control is to reduce or eliminate steady state  
errors, but this benefit typically comes at the cost of reduced stability.  
With proportional only control the output will be zero when the PV is at SP  
[error is zero]. Thus, in a heating system for example, the stable  
temperature will always be below the setpoint. When the PV is stable at a  
point above or below the SP, the deviation from the SP is known as  
OFFSET. The control action that corrects for this offset, is integral or reset.  
Reset is only active when the PV is not equal to the SP. The unit of Reset  
most often used is called Repeats/Minute (R/M). This expresses the number  
of times the PB response is repeated in one minute. This means with one  
repeat per minute, that the control output would be exactly double the  
proportional band [repeats the proportional band] only, if the error [SP-PV]  
remained steady for the full minute. As long as reset is active, it will repeat  
the PB response until the output has reached 0% or 100%.  
MANUAL RESET is a manual biasing of the output, so that when the PV is  
at SP, the output will be at the proper level to hold SP. It is more common  
on older type controls. The newer controllers including the SYSTEM 32  
provide AUTOMATIC RESET as described above. AUTOMATIC RESET  
automatically makes the correction for offset errors, but the R/M value must  
be set for the process.  
47  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Another way of viewing the reset action is to look at the integral term in the  
control equation of section 8.1.4. The control output due to this term is the  
error integrated over time. Thus a small offset over a long period of time  
will increase the integral sum and consequently the control output until the  
PV is equal to the SP. At this time, the proportional control output will be  
zero and the system will be stable at setpoint due to the integral sum.  
o
Consider again the above example, with the PB at 30 and the SP at 300 F,  
o
50% of the output is obtained at 285 F, but zero output is obtained at SP.  
o
Assuming 50% output is required to hold the temperature at 300 F, it  
o
would be reasonable to assume that the PV would be stable at 285 F. This

results in an offset of 15 F from 300 F SP. To shift the PB so that 50% of  
the output is at 300 oF, reset is used.  
If, AUTOMATIC RESET is used with .5 R/M and assuming the last PB  
response was 10% and the output is 50%. After the first minute, the output  
will be at 55%. After the second minute, it will be at 60%. After the third,  
65% and so until the output is at 100%. It would take ten minutes to do this,  
assuming that there was no temperature rise. Since the temperature would  
actually increase, the error would be reduced and the portion of the control  
output due to proportional control would decrease. Since the value of the  
integral sum is increasing with time, the effect of the reset output increases.  
This interaction would continue until SP was reached, where reset holds the  
temperature at setpoint and the proportional output becomes zero.  
A .5 to 1 R/M would be a good starting point for most processes. A slow  
process requires a slow reset (less then 1R/M). When too fast of a reset is  
used, the PV may slowly cycle around the SP. When adding RESET to the  
control mode of a controller, the addition of the RESET mode normally  
requires widening of the PB from the PROPORTIONAL mode control only  
setting.  
8.1.7 PROPORTIONAL, INTEGRAL, AND DERIVATIVE  
CONTROL [PID]  
The Derivative mode is also known as RATE, ANTICIPATION, or  
APPROACH. RATE is the more common term used. The function of  
RATE is to prevent the overshoot or undershoot of PV at SP. It does this by  
slowing the rate of approach of the PV to the SP.  
When using PB with RESET, the PV will sometimes go past the SP when a  
setpoint change or process disturbance occurs. This can happen since the  
correct setting of the PB will cause a small damped oscillation around the  
setpoint and the integral sum built up by the reset function cannot be  
reduced until the PV is past the setpoint. Thus, a Two-Mode controller may  
have overshoot, even if it is correctly set.  
Most processes can tolerate an overshoot, but if the overshoot of the PV  
relative to the SP cannot be tolerated, then the RATE function must be used.  
48

RATE is also used to correct for rapid load changes, to slow large capacity  
processes, and to overcome the slew rates of electric motor actuators.  
The RATE function responds to the change in the error as a function of  
time. Mathematically it is the first derivative of the error as a function of  
time [see equation in section 8.1.4]. Thus if the error is steady the effect of  
rate is zero. As the PV approaches the setpoint, the rate term will be  
negative and reduce the control output. This will serve to slow the approach  
to setpoint and reduce the tendency to overshoot. The higher the rate, the  
faster the output is reduced, thus preventing overshoot. Too high a setting of  
the rate will cause the PV to undershoot the setpoint and the approach will  
be series of undershooting steps.  
With PID control the output signal is a composite of the three control  
functions and will vary as the constants for these functions are changed as  
required to hold the PV to the SP. In general:  
Increasing:  
K and 1/T reduce system errors.

8.1.8 ANAFAZE OUTPUT FILTER  
The OUTPUT FILTER used by the ANAFAZE Controllers is a digital filter  
on the output signal after the PID functions. It has a range of 0-255 levels  
that gives a time constant of 0-127.5 seconds. It is used to filter out erratic  
swings of the output due to extremely sensitive input signals, such as open  
air T/C in a dry air gas oven or a turbine flow signal.  
It can be used also to allow the SYSTEM 32 to function more effectively  
than with PID alone. Some processes may be very sensitive, requiring a  
wide PB, such that good control control is not possible. By increasing the  
digital output filter to reduce the high and low output swings due to the  
process, the PB may be narrowed (lower number -- higher gain) to obtain  
good control.  
The filter can also be used to forgive badly tuned PID loops and poorly  
designed processes. It may also be used to reduce output noise [control  
output cycling] when a large amount of derivative action is required.  
8.1.13 REVERSE-DIRECT ACTION  
The ACTION of the control OUTPUT with RESPECT to the PV is known  
as REVERSE ACTION, if the OUTPUT INCREASES as the PV  
DECREASES. If the OUTPUT INCREASES as the PV INCREASES, then  
it is known as DIRECT ACTION.  
49  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Heating applications normally uses REVERSE ACTION and cooling  
applications normally will use DIRECT ACTION. The selection may also  
be dependent upon the application of two competing mediums of energy  
such as in a HEAT/COOL or TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY applications.  
8.1.14 HEAT/COOL DUAL OUTPUTS  
Certain processes such as plastic molding, plastic extrusion, refrigeration  
systems, test chambers, and others require both heating and cooling control  
loops. In many cases a single process variable is used for dual output, that  
is, it controls both heating and cooling. To optimize the process it may be  
necessary to have different setpoints with a deadband between them,  
different PID or other control constants, and different output types for the  
heat/cool loops. For example, a mold may be heated using PID control  
through a phase angle fired power controller, while cooling is accomplished  
using on/off control through a cooling water valve.  
Dual outputs are provided by directing a single analog input to two control  
loops. This approach is practical because of the low system cost. Two  
configurations are available:  
For systems with only a few heat/cool loops, a single sensor is  
connected to two analog inputs. One loop is then used for heating  
and the second for cooling. This is practical in the SYSTEM 32  
since the cost per loop is reasonably low and fully isolated inputs are  
available if needed.  
For systems that are nearly all heat/cool, a single reed relay analog  
input module can be jumper set to direct each analog input to two  
independent loops.  
In both cases each loop is fully independent and can have its own setpoint,  
control mode, and output signal type. The separate setpoint allows for a  
deadband adjustment not normally possible in many controllers. Three-  
Position or Two-Position floating control can be implemented by selecting  
the proper setpoints for the heating and cooling loops.  
8.1.9 CONTROL OUTPUTS  
The SYSTEM 32 provides two signal types for use as control outputs:  
digital and analog. The type of output is selected from software. If the  
system uses any analog outputs the optional A32-AOM ANALOG  
OUTPUT MODULE is required.  
8.1.10 DIGITAL OUTPUT  
Digital outputs normally control the process using relays. Two types of  
control are used: ON/OFF and TIME PROPORTIONING. Time  
proportioning is also referred to as pulsed DC output.  
On/off control has been described in section 8.1.3.  
50  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Time proportioning control is a method of using a digital output and an  
on/off device such as a relay to essentially achieve an analog control signal.  
When the controller calculates the required control signal, it converts the  
percent output into a percent duty cycle and outputs this to the process  
through the relay. The process itself integrates this output and responds as  
if this percentage was applied in an analog manner.  
For example, in a temperature process, if the controller requires 23% power  
output, it will set a duty cycle for the relay such that it is fully on for 23% of  
the time, and off for 77% of the time. If the time constants of the process  
and the type of relay have been correctly determined, this will result in the  
same temperature as if the heater could have been analog adjusted and the  
power had been set to 23%. The advantage of this type of control is that a  
relay is a relatively inexpensive way to control the heater power.  
Different relay types may be used depending on the power and other process  
requirements: ELECTRO-MECHANICAL or SOLID STATE [SSR].  
Modern SSR's can switch up to 480vac at 75 amps.  
The digital outputs of the SYSTEM 32 are designed to drive optically-  
isolated SSR's. If electromechanical relays are required, an SSR should be  
used to connect the SYSTEM 32 to the relay. This approach will protect the  
controller from wiring errors and isolate every output from the others.  
The ANAFAZE SYSTEM 32 offers two types of time proportioning  
outputs: Cycle Time Proportioning and Distributed Zero Crossing. Cycle  
time proportioning is normally used for electro-mechanical relays and  
Distributed Zero Crossing is typically used for solid state relays  
CYCLE TIME PROPORTIONING is the proportioning of a selected fixed  
cycle time between an ON time versus an OFF time. With a cycle time of 10  
seconds and a required control signal of 40% the on time would be 4  
seconds and the OFF time would be 6 seconds. If the next control  
calculation required 38% output the on time would be 3.8 seconds and the  
off time 6.2 seconds. Thus as the PID control calculation changes the  
output required the system responds exactly, and the output duty cycle is  
adjusted to maintain the process at the setpoint.  
Cycle Time Proportioning is primarily used on electrical energy type of  
processes. Some applications may use solenoid valves in a time  
proportioning mode, rather then ON/OFF. The general rule of thumb for  
cycle time is no less then 10 seconds [20 recommended] for electro-  
mechanical relays and no more then 5 seconds [2 recommended] for SSR's.  
Normally the faster the cycle time, the closer the control and the more wear  
on the relays.

8.1.11 DISTRIBUTED ZERO CROSSING  
Distributed Zero Crossing [DZC] output is the other time proportioning  
output available from the SYSTEM 32. This output is primarily for very fast  
acting electrical heating loads using SSR's. The open air heater coil is an  
example of a fast acting load. It should never be used with electro-  
mechanical relays.  
The combination of Distributed Zero Crossing and a solid state relay can  
approach the effect of analog phase angle fired control at a reduced cost.  
The DZC output is a TIME PROPORTIONING output where the controller  
decides for each cycle of the AC line if the power should be on or off. There  
is no fixed cycle time since the on/off decision is made for each AC cycle.  
For example if the control output is 25% the power would be turned on for 1  
AC cycle and off for the next 3 AC cycles. This pattern would repeat until  
the output level changed, for example to 28%. The power would then be on  
for 1 AC cycle and off for 3 cycles, then after repeating 1 on and 3 off  
several times the power would be set on for 2 cycles and off for 2 cycles.  
The result is after 100 cycles the power will have been on for 28 cycles and  
off for 72 cycles.  
Since the time period for 60Hz power is 16.6ms the switching interval is  
very short and the power is applied very uniformly. Switching is still only  
done at the zero crossing of the AC power reducing the generated electrical  
noise.  
8.1.12 ANALOG OUTPUTS  
Analog outputs may be CURRENT or VOLTAGE and are continuously  
proportional over the range of the output signal level. The SYSTEM 32  
matches the standard industrial signal levels by providing 4 to 20 ma for the  
CURRENT output and 0 to 5 vdc for the VOLTAGE output.  
The analog signals drive many types of FINAL CONTROL ELEMENTS  
such as electric proportioning motors for gas valve control of burner  
systems, I/P transducers for pneumatic control of valves, and SCR controls  
for phase angle control of electrical loads.  
8.2 ADJUSTMENT OF PID CONSTANTS  
The SYSTEM 32 is normally operated using ANASOFT-32 in a system computer.  
For other installations the constants can be adjusted in a similar manner using the  
software supplied.  
ANASOFT offers a choice of displays for the control constants. For many people,  
the use of Proportional Band is the most logical way to view these constants. If this  
display is desired it must be selected in the ANASOFT-32 installation program  
QINSTALL.  
In addition the Plot History function should be set up to correctly display the PV of  
the loops being tuned. The time base must be adjusted prior to the start of tuning,  
52  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
and the full scale adjusted to match the expected PV range. The graphics of the  
Plot will show the effect of the PID tuning in real time.  
The understanding of PID functions would be useful in tuning loops, but not  
essential to a successful application of PID constants to a control loop.  
8.2.1 INITIAL VALUES FOR PID LOOPS  
The following values may initially be used for the PID constants. They  
have been used for many applications and will serve as a starting point for  
tuning the controller. If ANASOFT is used be sure the SYSTEM 32 control  
is set for AUTO.  
ON/OFF CONTROL  
PB = Minimum PB  
Reset = 7.5 R/M  
Rate = 0 Min.  
Gain = 510  
Integral = 8 Sec.  
Derivative = 0 Sec.  
Output Filter = 4  
Output Filter = 4  
PROPORTIONAL BAND ONLY (P)  
PB = 5% of SP Example SP = 450 PB = 22  
Reset = .12 R/M  
Rate = 0  
Output Filter = 4  
Gain = 79 [J T/C]

PB with Reset  
(PI)  
PB = 10% of SP Example SP = 450 PB = 45  
Reset = .5 R/M  
Rate = 0  
Gain = 39 [J T/C]  
Integral = 120 Sec.  
Derivative = 0 Sec.  
Output Filter = 4  
Output Filter = 4  
PB with Reset with Rate (PID)  
PB = 15% of SP Example SP = 450 PB = 67  
Reset = 1 R/M  
Rate = 0.2/Min.  
Output Filter = 4  
Gain = 44 [K T/C]  
Integral = 60 Sec.  
Derivative = 12 Sec.  
Output Filter = 4  
WARNING: never set the reset above 3 R/M or integral below 20  
seconds for proportional control as cycling will occur.  
In controlling a process to a SP, process engineering must design the system  
to allow the controller to be within it's control capability. In most processes,  
the controller element is the fine control, while the process itself is the  
course control. If all of the variables could be defined and precisely  
controlled, when engineering a process, then a predetermined reset could be  
used. When sizing control valves, electrical loads or whatever the final  
element might be, the correct sizing will be one that allows the controller  
output to be in the 40-60% of it's output when PV is stable at SP at mid-  
53  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
range of the process control span. If the process elements are not correctly  
sized then it will be difficult and even impossible to tune the controller.  
8.2.2 TUNING PID LOOPS  
1. First set PB to 2% of the desired SP, Reset to .2 R/M, Rate to 0, Filter to  
0. Set control in AUTO. Set the plot function for the proper range to record  
the PV over an appropriate time base such as one hour.  
2. The SP is set to the desired control point. If overshoot cannot be  
tolerated, set the SP to a value below the final SP for tuning. Most heat  
processes are slow reacting compared to many other types of control  
systems. Usually 20 minutes are required between adjustments to see any  
effective change. After a suitable wait, look at the Plot Function. If cycling  
is not occurring, the PB is set correctly. If cycling is occurring, double the  
PB. After a suitable interval [normally at least 20 minutes] if cycling is still  
occurring, double the PB again. Repeat this process until the cycling stops.  
The time between cycling peaks will usually be about 5 to 15 minutes. A  
small amount of cycling may be removed by using the digital output filter  
allowing a narrow PB without cycling.  
3. With the PB at the Setting from Step 2, increase the reset in steps of .3  
R/M. Keep increasing the reset until, by watching the Plot Function,  
cycling is occurring at a slow rate. The time period between peaks will  
probably be 20-40 minutes. Reduce the reset in .1 R/M steps until the  
cycling stops. Remember to take the time between adjustments to allow the  
process to settle out.  
4. With the PB and RESET set according to Step #2 and #3, move the SP  
upscale from the present SP by at least 20%. If the present SP is 450, the  
new SP should be at least 540. If this cannot be done due to process  
considerations, then allow the process to cool off. No matter the method, a  
step change in SP is required. A ramp of the PV is needed to check the  
overshoot of the PV, in order to adjust the RATE. Starting the system up in  
the morning may be the only way to get a ramp of the PV. After seeing the  
overshoot on the Plot Function, turn on RATE to a small number such as  
.08, for a small overshoot and a larger number like .2, for a larger  
overshoot. Keep increasing the number until there is no overshoot. If, the  
RATE gets too large, the PV will undershoot. If undershooting occurs,  
reduce the RATE setting in small steps until it is eliminated. This is the  
RATE setting when little or no over or undershooting occurs.  
The above steps may be time consuming, especially at first. With  
experience the tuning process can be quick and straight forward.  
Many processes have been controlled with the following values:  
PB=40 RESET=.4 R/M [150 SEC.] RATE=0 [OFF] FILTER=4  
54

8.2.3 OUTPUT FILTER  
There is no tuning step for the Output Filter. Adjusting the PID without the  
Filter gives the most accurate response of the control function of the PID  
modes. The Output Filter may be turn on anytime so desired. The number is  
increased as necessary to reduce cycling of the control output signal, thus  
reducing the cycling of the PV. Some typical settings of the Output Filter is  
2, 4, 8, 12, and 15. Use of the Output Filter is not reflected in the PV except  
to make the PV more stable, the value of the PV is the actual response time  
of the Primary Element and it's value.  
8.3 ANALOGY OF PID CONTROL TERMINOLOGY  
The terminology of PID may be confusing to technical, as well as non-technical  
individuals, who have a need to have some understanding of PID control, due to  
work requirements. The comparing of an unknown to the known has been a relative  
easy way to explain a difficult subject for many years. The following analogy has  
been used for many years and very successfully. The PID terms have been equated  
to that of driving a car.  
The little ole lady from Pasadena, the grandmother type, was out for a Sunday  
drive. As she was waiting at a stop light for the light to turn green, a young man  
who shall remain nameless, pulled up along side her. This young man had just  
received his driver's license and had Daddy's car out for the first time by himself.  
Pumping the gas pedal, he was gunning the engine and looking over at the little ole  
lady. Needless to say, that when the light turn green, he stepped on the gas hard.  
With burning tires, he squealed away, leaving the little ole lady behind. She in her  
turn, gradually stepped on the gas, gently bringing the car up to the speed of 30  
mph. The young man in the meantime had reached the next stop light and it was  
red. He slammed on the brakes and came to a very quick stop.  
While, waiting for the light to turn green, the young man was gunning the engine  
and watching in his mirror, as the little ole lady gradually came up behind him. As  
she approached the light, it turned green. She went through the light without  
needing to change the car speed, while the young man once again, stepped on the  
gas hard. They continued to repeat the same action over and over again. She  
proportioned her speed to reach each light as it turned green, while the young man  
was cycling between stepping on the gas or the brake. His gain was too high, as he  
reacted too fast to changing conditions. This caused cycling of his car speed to a on-  
off state, not to say anything about his Dad state, if he had known. The little ole  
lady had proportional control over her car speed by reacting gradually to changing  
conditions. This is known as the PROPORTIONAL FUNCTION.  
Now, the little ole lady with proportional control was trying very hard to maintain  
the 30 mph. This was the speed that the traffic lights were set for, thus allowing the  
smooth flow of traffic. As she approached a fairly steep hill, her speed started to fall  
off. Her initial response was a proportional push on the gas pedal. This was not  
enough to hold the speed to the 30 mph and the speed was very slowly decreasing  
from the 30 mph she wanted. She very gently increased the pressure on the gas  
pedal, raising the speed back up to 30 mph. As she started to go down the hill, the  
55  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
car speed started to slowly increase. She slowly backed off the pressure to the gas  
pedal, trying to maintain the 30 mph. This is known as reset, as she was resetting  
the engine speed to maintain 30 mph with changing load conditions. This is the  
RESET FUNCTION.  
The little ole lady now was very close to home and had turned off the highway she  
was on. A couple of blocks in front of her, she could see the traffic light was green.  
As she was watching, the light turned yellow and then went to red. Upon seeing the  
light turn yellow, she took her foot off the gas pedal, because she had anticipated  
that she was going to stop, as the light was soon to be red. Now, the rate of  
approaching the light was too fast and she knew that she would coast into the  
intersection, if she did not step on the brake. By gently stepping on the brake, she  
could control the rate of approach of the car to the white line. If, upon stepping on  
the brake too lightly, she could overshoot the white line and go into the intersection.  
Then, by stepping on the brake too hard, she could undershoot, stopping way back  
of the white line and then would need to creep up to the white line. By applying the  
proper amount of braking, she was able to stop the car at the white line with no over  
or undershooting. This is known as the RATE FUNCTION.  
With the OUTPUT FILTER of the Anafaze System, a new function had to be added  
to the analogy.  
Remember the young man from the proportional section that had way too much  
gain? It seems that Daddy did find out and started to look for ways to curb the  
young man's appetite for rash action without cutting off his foot or waiting until he  
was 40 years old. Daddy's car is an 8 cylinder engine with a 4 barrel carburetor  
which reacted very fast to the young man's demand. Daddy acquired a 6 cylinder for  
his son to drive and decided after a couple of tickets for squealing tires, to replace it  
with a 4 cylinder.  
The 8 cylinder is equivalent to no filter action, while the 6 cylinder is equivalent to  
a low filter number. The 4 cylinder would be a high filter number. A single  
cylinder engine would be equivalent to a very high filter number. By having a high  
gain due to youth and a low horsepower due to engine size, a fast response would  
not allow squealing of the tires. A response may be made, but not fast enough to  
hurt anything. Thus, a high filter setting would reduce high reactions to changing  
conditions. This is the OUTPUT FILTER FUNCTION.

ANAFAZE offers turn key software for IBM PC and compatible computers. The  
present software includes:  
ANASOFT-32 Measurement and Control  
ANASOFT-32-RS Measurement and Control with Ramp and Soak  
ANASOFT-32-CP Measurement and Control with Carbon Potential  
9.1 ANASOFT-32  
ANASOFT-32 is a menu driven program that operates up to 3 ANAFAZE  
SYSTEM 32 units using an IBM PC or compatible computer. It provides a  
summary screen with color graphic displays of system operating conditions. A  
detailed, password protected, tuning screen allows entering of all control  
parameters, names for control loops, engineering unit and calibration factors, and  
other loop data. The program provides automatic data storage on diskette in  
LOTUS compatible files and automatic printout at user selected intervals. It is  
written in MICROSOFT QUICK BASIC and the source listings can be purchased  
so it can be modified by users.  
9.1.1 ANASOFT-32-RS: RAMP AND SOAK  
For ramp and soak, ANAFAZE offers ANASOFT-32-RS, a software  
package that includes the capability for multiple ramp and soak recipes.  
ANASOFT-32-RS is a complete package that features convenient profile  
entry, graphic displays, warnings and alarms. Some of the features are:  
Independent Ramp and Soak: Any loop in the system can be  
defined with a fully independent ramp and soak recipe. These  
recipes can be started, stopped, or put on hold independently as  
required.  
16 Segment Recipes: Each profile can have up to 16 segments of  
ramp and soak and can be set for unlimited repeats.  
Easy Setup: Ramp and Soak recipes are entered through a profile  
menu that includes a simple, fill in the blanks table of time verses  
setpoint.  
Recipe Storage: Once a recipe is entered it can be given a name or  
number and stored on disk. The same recipe can then be for any  
loop. Up to 100 different recipes can be stored on disk at one time.  
Profile Storage: ANASOFT provides for up to 20 profiles or  
control tasks to be stored on disk for the system. Each profile is a  
completely independent set of all system parameters. These  
parameters include setpoints, ramp and soak recipes, alarms  
warnings, input types, scaling and all other selected data. The  
desired profile can be selected from the initial system menu. When  
57

the profile is selected the stored ramp and soak recipe for each loop  
is automatically setup.  
Accurate Recipe Tracking: The ramp and soak software provides special  
alarms and warnings in addition to the standard features of ANASOFT.  
Tolerance levels are used for guaranteed soak, process warnings, and  
process alarms.  
Guaranteed Soak: An independent tolerance band can be entered  
for each recipe segment. If the temperature is not within this  
tolerance band, the soak time is stopped and remains stopped until  
the temperature is within the band.  
Alarms: A guaranteed soak time alarm can also be entered for each  
recipe. If the temperature is out of tolerance for longer than this  
entered time an alarm will occur.  
Data Storage: Process data can be stored in LOTUS compatible  
files to analyze process performance.  
9.1.2 ANASOFT-32-CP: CARBON POTENTIAL MEASUREMENT  
AND CONTROL  
The Anafaze 32 System may be used for heat treating applications to  
measure and control Carbon Potential. A Carbon Potential Input Module is  
added to the SYSTEM 32 to allow the connection of most carbon potential  
probes. The SYSTEM 32 software is expanded to provide the carbon  
potential measurement and control. ANASOFT-32-CP software is also  
available for IBM PC and compatible computers.  
The Carbon Potential Input Module allows up to four inputs from carbon  
probes. The outputs may be dual time proportioning outputs for solenoid  
valve control or analog proportioning for motor positioning control.  
The software provides for direct reading of the carbon potential of .15 to 1.4  
%. The controller output for adding carburizing gas will be off, when the  
temperature is below the setpoint of the temperature probe. This will be  
adjustable from the tune menu of ANASOFT-32-CP.  
The ANASOFT-32-CP software will allow ramp soak programs of the  
carbon and temperature setpoints for customer customized furnace profiles.  
The standard ANASOFT-32-CP will hold up to 100 furnace profiles and  
each profile may have up to 16 segments. The standard use of setpoints may  
be used without the use of the ramp soak programs.

11.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING INFORMATION  
These four items must work together to operate the SYSTEM 32:  
The SYSTEM 32  
The computer including the RS-232 or other serial interface  
The communications link  
The computer software  
If the system does not work on initial start up check the SYSTEM 32 indicator  
lights, the computer, and the serial link.  
11.1 Computer Problems  
The computer can be checked by running standard programs that use the display  
and the printer. The serial interface must be functioning. This is harder to test  
since most programs do not utilize the serial interface. Check any computer  
problems with the computer supplier.  
11.2 Computer Software  
This can be divided into: ANASOFT-32 and user written software:  
11.2.1 User Written Software  
For user written software a simple routine that sends and receives a  
command from the SYSTEM 32 should be written and tested initially. The  
ideal routine sends and receives commands displaying both sets on the  
computer monitor. Since the protocol includes all characters, the display  
should show the hex numbers of the characters sent in both directions.  
Once successful communications is established, this program can be used as  
a check if problems arise in the operating software.  
11.2.1 ANASOFT-32  
ANASOFT-32 is a complete menu driven software program which includes  
error detection and diagnostic messages. If ANASOFT-32 will not run at all  
please see the ANASOFT-32 manual for detailed information. The  
following can be checked:  
1. Correct path for files -- run QINSTALL and check the disk drive and  
path for the data files.  
2. All files present -- check that all necessary files are present and on the  
specified directory.  
3 Sufficient memory free -- ANAFAZE-32 requires 512K memory free to  
run. You can use the DOS command CHKDSK to view the free  
memory. If there is insufficient memory check step 4.  
3. Delete any memory resident programs -- check the AUTOEXEC.BAT to  
insure no memory resident programs are automatically run on start-up.  
Some memory resident programs may interfere with ANASOFT-32.  
If ANASOFT-32 runs then the next step is to establish communications  
with the SYSTEM 32. When ANASOFT-32 is started the program asks for  
63

the Edit or Run mode. Select the Run mode. If the SYSTEM 32 does not  
answer, a communications error message will appear on the display [see  
11.3 and 11.4].  
11.3 Communications Problems  
If the computer is functioning properly [section 11.1] then the communication  
interface, cables and connections must be checked. A number of problems have  
been traced to bad cables or connections.  
11.3.1 Serial Interface  
The serial interface must be correctly installed in the computer and set  
according to the manufacturers directions. ANASOFT-32 communicates  
using Comm Port 1. Some multi-function interface cards allow setting of  
the comm port -- this should be done correctly. In addition be careful that  
only one communications channel is set as comm port 1.  
When the communications interface is correctly installed a scope can be  
used to check the transmit line to insure characters are being sent to the  
SYSTEM 32.  
If a scope is not available, a test program [contact ANAFAZE] can be used  
that will display sent and received characters. The transmit line and the  
receive line can be disconnected from the SYSTEM 32 and connected  
together at the SYSTEM 32. The program can be run and characters typed  
on the keyboard will be sent to the SYSTEM 32 and returned to the  
computer directly on the communication line. If these characters are  
displayed on the monitor, the communication card, and the wiring can be  
assumed correct. Carefully re-connect the SYSTEM 32 and go to section  
11.4.  
11.4 SYSTEM 32 Problems  
A preliminary check of the SYSTEM 32 can be accomplished using the indicator  
lights on the Processor [A32-PIOM PROCESSOR I/O MODULE]. The lights  
function as follows:  
11.4.1 Processor: Ready Light -- Green, Communications -- Orange  
The Green Processor Ready light is the most important SYSTEM 32  
indicator. If the green light is not on, the PIOM is not running and the  
SYSTEM 32 cannot operate.  
If no other indicator lights are on, the power supply probably is not working.  
If the orange light is on, or is flashing, but the green light is not on, then the  
power supply is at least putting out a voltage.  
But if the green light is not on, don't worry about what the computer is  
doing, or about communication problems. If the green light is not on,  
nothing will work.  
64

If the green light is on, then the orange light light is a communications  
indicator. The orange light will appear whenever the PIOM has decoded a  
communication containing the address of the PIOM as set in the DIP switch.  
Thus the conditions for establishing the orange light in the presence of the  
green light are:  
1) PIOM working.  
2) Host and PIOM set at the same BAUD rate.  
3) PIOM address switches set correctly.  
4) Host sending out proper communication containing correct  
address.  
No other conditions are guaranteed to exist. For instance, this does not  
guarantee proper communication error checking protocols.  
If the green light and orange light are both on, first check error protocol as  
set by the DIP switch and by Anasoft, then check the communication  
wiring. If the green light comes on but the orange light does not, then check  
the above in addition to checking the PIOM address switch and the BAUD  
rate.  
11.4.2 Process Ready Light is Off  
If on applying power to the controller, the GREEN READY light  
illuminated on the processor board mounting panel:  
is not  
Use a voltmeter to measure the 5 VDC supply to the controller backplane to  
make sure that the voltage measures between 4.9 and 5.3 volts D.C. A low  
voltage detect circuit on the processor board will prevent operation if the  
supply voltage drops below 4.75 volts D.C. (+/- .1 volt).  
If there is non power or a low supply check the AC input power, and the  
power supply output at the power supply terminals.  
If power is present at the proper voltage contact ANAFAZE as the probable  
cause is PROCESSOR I/O MODULE problem.  
11.4.3 Orange Communication Light Remains Off  
Normally this will also cause a COMMUNICATION ERROR message  
when running Anasoft. If this occurs and the Green Light is on:  
Verify that the communications options specified in the Anasoft Installation  
program (QINSTALL) match those specified by the option bit switch  
settings on the processor board. These options include the baud rate and the  
method of error checking to be used.  
Verify that the controller address bit switch settings on the processor board  
are correct. If you have only one controller in your communications circuit  
it's address should be 0 (all address bit switches off).  
65

Verify that you are using the COM 1 serial port on your computer. Anasoft  
assumes this to be the active communications port.  
Verify the wiring connections between your computer and the Anafaze  
controller. For RS-232, only three wires are (Rx, Tx and Gnd) are necessary  
to communicate with the controller.  
Check the hardware communications option that was specified when you  
ordered your controller. If your processor module was modified for current-  
loop operation, it will not interface with a RS-232 circuit directly.  
If all these items are checked and OK, contact ANAFAZE, the  
PROCESSOR I/O MODULE probably has a problem.  
11.4.5 No Control Outputs from PIOM  
The Anasoft operating program displays proper output values for each loop  
but the controller outputs remain off (0%).  
Verify that the OUTPUTS ON input on the processor module is enabled. A  
low level (0 volts) signal is necessary at this terminal to enable operation of  
controller outputs. This connection is made at TB2, pin 35. NOTE: This  
may be accomplished by connecting a jumper on TB2, between pin 32  
(GND) and TB2, pin 35.  
Chech the action of the communications watchdog timer. This may be  
enabled and will set all control outputs to manual with zero output if  
communications is not maintained by the host computer. Please see section  
3.3.2 for details.  
11.4.6 Measured Data Errors  
If the input data does not appear to be correct or remains constant, check the  
indicator lights on the analog input boards (RRAIM or SSAIM). The green  
light indicates that the isolated supply is working properly, and a flashing  
orange light indicates that the input module is scanning.  
If the green light is not on and the PIOM has passed all the previous  
conditions, then the most likely fault is in the input module. If the green  
light is on and the orange light is not flashing, then the problem is probably  
in the PIOM but could be in the input module. If the green light is on and  
the orange light is flashing, then the problem is probably the input module,  
the system wiring, or the transducers.
