4. Configure the PV input signal parameters: Refer to Instruction Bulletin 53MC5000 Section 4.3.1.

Set-up the AI module by entering the span (in Engineering Units of the PV range) in
C256 and the range minimum in C276. Span is defined as (Range Max. - Range
Min.).

The 53MC5000 is set to accept a 1-5 V PV signal. If 0-5 V is required, enter L416=1.

The 53MC5000 is set to accept a linear PV signal. If square root extraction is
required, enter L440=1.

5. Configure the Control Module parameters:

Enter the 10-character loop tagname in A00 and the 7-character Engineering units
in A01.

Set-up the CON module by entering the span in C115 and the range minimum in
C116. For standard PID control, the span and minimum of the AI and CON modules
is the same.

Set the tuning parameters if desired:

C106 = Proportional Band
C107 = Reset time in minutes per repeat
C108 = Derivative time in minutes

The 53MC5000 is set for reverse action. If direct action is required, enter L106=0.

If setpoint limits are desired, enter the setpoint high limit in C125 and the low limit
in C126. Both limits are in engineering units.

If output limits are desired, enter the output high limit in C109 and the low limit in
C110. Both limits are in percent of output. Output limits are active in both Auto and
Manual mode.

If HI/LO alarms are required, enter the following:

B335=0 (HI/LO alarm index)
C103=High alarm setpoint
C104=Low alarm setpoint
C105=Alarm deadband

Alarm setpoints and deadbands are in engineering units. Other alarm types are available (see In-
struction Bulletin 53MC5000 Section 4.1.6).

6. If it is required that the setpoint track the process variable when in manual, enable setpoint track-
ing by entering L118=1.

7. If it is required that the output track AI3 when DI0 is open, enable output tracking by entering
L119=1.
