BASIC OPERATION

The P48 controls a process by receiving a linear DC signal representing the

process value, then calculating a control output power value by use of a
modified PID control algorithm. The unit controls the system with the new
output power value to keep the process at setpoint. The PID control algorithm
incorporates features which provide for high control accuracy and low

overshoot from process disturbances.

FRONT PANEL FEATURES

In the normal operating mode, the unit displays the process value in the upper

display. One of the following parameters can be viewed in the lower display:

- Setpoint
- % Power Output
- Process Deviation
- Blank Display

The user scrolls through these parameters by pressing the D button. If

enabled, the control setpoint or power output (manual mode only) can be
directly modified in this mode.

In the normal operating mode, parameters are selected by use of the P button

and modified by use of the UP and DOWN buttons. Parameters are then entered
by the P button, which advances the user to the next parameter. Pressing the D
button immediately returns the controller to the normal operating mode without
changing the currently selected parameter.

HARDWARE FEATURES

A fast 100 msec input sampling rate provides quick controller response to a

process disturbance, thus providing excellent process control. Measurement
accuracy of 0.1% or better, provides close process control conforming to the
desired control setpoint value.

Low-drift, highly stable circuitry ensures years of reliable and accurate

process control. The recommended two year re-calibration interval is easily
accomplished via the programming menu.

REMOTE SETPOINT INPUT

The remote setpoint input facilitates the use of a remote signal to drive the

controller’s setpoint. The remote signal can be scaled independent to that of the
controller’s range. The controller’s response to local/remote setpoint transfers
can be programmed. Also, the remote signal is filtered by use of an adaptive
filter. With this filter, relatively large filtering time constants can be used
without suffering from long settling times. The time constant and filter disable
band are programmable. Additionally, the remote signal can also be velocity
limited (or ramped) to slow the controller’s response to changes in setpoint. This
results in a steady control response with no overshoot.

LINEAR DC ANALOG OUTPUTS

The Main Linear DC output has independent scaling, programmable output

update time and filter (damping) time. These parameters permit flexibility in
process configuration. The output can be set for 0 to 10 V, 0 to 20 mA or 4 to
20 mA ranges and can be configured for control or for re-transmission of input
or setpoint values.

A Second Linear DC output is dedicated for the re-transmission of the

process input signal. The output can be scaled and converted independent of the
input signal and Main Linear DC output. This output is isolated from the input.

SETPOINT FEATURES

The controller setpoint can be protected from out of range values by

programming the setpoint range limit values. Additionally, safeguards from
inadvertent data entry can be programmed.

A second setpoint can be selected by the user input and/or through the front

panel.

The setpoint ramp feature can be used to control the setpoint value at start-up

or any time a setpoint change is made, at a user programmable rate. This feature
reduces shock to the process and helps to minimize overshoot.

INPUT FEATURES

A programmable input filter can be used to stabilize readings from a process

with varying or oscillating process characteristics, helping to provide better
control.

The programmable user input can be used to control a variety of functions,

such as auto/manual transfer of the controller, reset alarm output(s), etc.

OUTPUT FEATURES

Programmable output power limits provide protection for processes where

excessive power can cause damage. Programmable output cycle time, output
hysteresis, and dampening can reduce output activity without degrading control
accuracy. The main outputs can operate in PID, ON/OFF, or manual control
modes.

CONTROL AND ALARM OUTPUTS

In addition to the Linear DC output, there are up to three relay outputs

available. Relay outputs can switch user applied AC or DC voltages for control
or alarm purposes.
