INTRODUCTION
1.1 FEATURES
The following features are included with the basic instrument:
• Built-in single loop PID Control or Single Station Cascade Strategies,
• Two Isolated universal analog inputs standard
• Two analog outputs standard
The following features are options to the basic instrument:

• Up to 11 additional single point, individually isolated local process I/O
• Redundant, removable NOVRAM backs up configuration and current process parameters
The following features require the support of the instrument configuration software:
• Serial communications: Instrument Communications Network, RS-232 and RS-485
Modbus standard
• Up to 100 additional discrete remote I/O points through a Remote I/O Interface module
• Logic, advanced and sequential control functions
• Display scripting functions
• Complete configuration control using graphics based blocks and connections
1.2 DESCRIPTION
This microprocessor based 3x6 multiloop controller is designed to meet your process control
needs whether you use it for loop indication or to implement advanced process strategies.
The controller can display and control continuous process variables such as temperature,
pressure, liquid level, or flow and has the ability to perform digital logic functions.
1.2.1 Functionality
The instrument provides continuous control functions such as PID, feedforward, set-point and
output tracking, external feedback, set-point and output limiting, in addition to logic and I/O
functions. As many as six PID or 4 cascade loops can be run in a single controller with a total
loop processing time of 250 milliseconds. Using on-board I/O, PID control loops can be
executed as fast as 100 milliseconds.
Using the configuration software for setup, the instrument can run Sequence Blocks based on
a drum programmer design with up to 100 inputs, 80 steps and 30 outputs per block; blocks
can be cascaded for larger sequences. Sequence Blocks allow forward and backward
stepping, unlimited branching and outputs configurable for any data type (discrete, floating
point, integer, time, date, ASCII or HEX).
The instrument has 64K of non-volatile RAM which contains the user database and all current
process and operating parameters. The optional Portable Memory Module provides 64K of
1-1
MOD 30ML Operation
INTRODUCTION
redundant, removable non-volatile RAM which backs up the configured database and, if left
on the instrument during operation, current process data. Nonvolatile RAM memory has a
typical data retention of 10 years.
1.2.2 Configuration
Configuration of the instrument is accomplished via one of two methods. For applications
using single loop PID, single station cascade, feedforward and ratio/bias, canned strategies
and their faceplates are easily implemented through the instruments front face displays and
operator push buttons. Template configuration uses easy-to-read English prompts.
For more complex applications, beyond those offered with the basic instrument, configuration
is accomplished through the icon-based Application Builder Software which is used to create,
edit, save, download and document the data base in a graphic environment. Downloading
instrument configurations can be done via ICN, or via Modbus over RS-232 or a 4-wire RS-
485 network. This software is also used to prepare runtime operation files for a computer
using the ICN or Modbus protocol. Local display and operations can also be provided using
the 2021W Local Control Panel over the ICN.
1.2.3 Operation
The instrument can display and control a variety of process variables such as temperature,
pressure, flow, and liquid level. In addition to continuous display of the process variable for a
selected loop, the front panel display shows the operating set-point, control output, process
alarm indication, loop tag name, and status indication of control mode and set-point source.
Front panel keys provide for operational activities such as auto/manual switching,
remote/local set-point switching, manual output adjustment, process alarm and diagnostic
message acknowledgment, and enabling communication with a host device.
1.2.4 Process I/O

Two isolated universal analog inputs and two current outputs
are standard. Each analog input can receive direct connection
of either milliamp (2-wire or non 2-wire), millivolt, volt, RTD
thermocouple or resistance. Inputs have full galvanic
isolation. Both analog outputs can be user set between span
limits of 0 and 50 milliamps.
In addition there can be up to eleven process I/O and

communication modules. Plug in modules include various
types of analog input, analog output, digital input, digital
output, Instrument Communication Network (ICN) and
MODBUS
serial communications. Signal conditioning, fail-safe and power fail/recovery parameters may
reside in each individual module.
Analog I/O Modules

Analog input modules provide high-resolution signal conditioning performed in the module.
Process signals including RTD and thermocouple are connected directly to the rear terminations
without requiring transmitters or transducers for signal conversion. A single module supports all
thermocouple types with upscale burnout detection. Cold junction compensation is also provided.
One current input module type supplies isolated loop power for 2-wire transmitters. Other input
types include volt, millivolt, 2- and 3-wire RTD with upscale burnout detection and current input
1-2
MOD 30ML Operation
INTRODUCTION
without loop power. The analog output module supplies 4-20mA or 0-20mA. All analog I/O
modules are individually, optically isolated to 250Vrms continuous.
Digital I/O
Digital I/O is selected by the user through use of digital I/O modules. Options include both isolated
and non-isolated modules. Solid state relay versions offer high isolation voltage capability. Non-
isolated modules are compatible with TTL logic levels and provide the ability to interface between
similar modules without the need for an external power supply. The Mechanical Relay output
module supports Form A, Form B and Form C relays.
Remote I/O (requires Application Builder Software support)

Remote I/O input and output modules expand the I/O capability to a total of 100 discrete points.
The module communicates over the Remote I/O Network, an RS-485 fieldbus which connects to
the instrument via a 2020N RIO module. The RIO module does not need to use a
communications position leaving those two positions open for communications modules. Refer to
IB-23C601.
1.2.5 Communications (requires Application Builder Software support)

Two serial communications channels on each instrument allow up to two independent
networks to function simultaneously. The first channel is built-in and is selectable for either
Instrument Communications Network (ICN), RS-232 Modbus or RS-485 Modbus. The second
channel uses an ICN, RS-232 Modbus or RS-485 (2-wire or 4-wire forms) module.

SETUP
! CAUTION Be sure the process can be maintained in a safe condition before turning on
instrument power. The instrument may not be configured to meet the specific
requirements of the process until setup has been performed.
2.1 GENERAL PREPARATIONS

After installation is complete, begin setup by preparing the instrument as follows:
1. Set the SCRV/RUN switch under the front face to the RUN position. If a Memory Module is
present, see Using The Memory Module to load a database stored to a memory module.
2. At ac power source, turn on power to instrument. When power is on, the front panel
display illuminates showing either a default database (as shipped from factory) or some
other successfully loaded database.
Default Database
If the instrument does not have a valid user database, the
first DEVICE display (device status entry point) will
appear and any diagnostic indications will be enabled.
The default device tag is TEMP 100.
The device display shows the state of the instrument on
line 3 (see Device States).
The keys labeled NXT (next step) and PRV (previous

step) move you through the entry points for the setup
tables while the down arrow ∇ indicates the down arrow
key can be used to enter a step (see Device Displays). If
the instrument state is RUN, the TAG key will switch you
to the first user runtime display.
Valid User Database Loaded

If the instrument has a valid user database, the power up
display (Device, Previous or User) will appear and any
enabled diagnostics, such as for power up and power
down, will be indicated. You can prepare the instrument
for setup by acknowledging these diagnostics and
making any necessary adjustments to your operating
conditions from the user display (see Operation for
general operation).
Return to the DEVICE display by pressing and holding

the TAG key.

SETUP
3. Press the alarm key to get the list of unacknowledged and active
acknowledged alarms and diagnostics (Appendix A lists all reportable
diagnostics and events). Press the key labeled UAK to acknowlege the
alarm (changes to ACT). Press the alarm key again to view the next
alarm and repeat until the end where you can return to the device display
(see Alarms in Section 3.13).
4. If a previous shutdown condition exists, it must be acknowledged from the device status
shutdown displays (Step 1B of Device Status Table 1); otherwise, template configuration
and memory module downloads will fail.
2.2 DEVICE STATES

The instrument state is indicated by a three letter code on line 3 of the device displays.
Except for Local Hold, installation of a template will change the instrument state to Run.
DEF The Default state means the instrument has no valid user database and is running an
internal database to maintain communications and system activities.
HLD The Hold state indicates the instrument has a valid user database and is performing
overhead functions only - no loops are running.
LHD The Local Hold state indicates the SCRV/RUN switch is in SCRV and the instrument
is in the Local Hold state.
RUN The Run state means the instrument has a valid user database and is running that
database.
2.3 USING THE MEMORY MODULE

The backup memory module is used to maintain a mirror image of the 64K instrument
database. A small part of this image is reserved for shutdown information and serves as a
valuable diagnostic tool. The module may be write protected to protect shutdown and other
information.
2.3.1 DOWNLOAD From Memory Module to Main Database

Follow this procedure to load a database stored in a memory module.
1. Set Memory Module switches to "read/write" or "Read Only" and "Normal".
2. Power up the instrument.
The instrument automatically attempts a download from the memory module during
power-up. If the module database is 'good' (configured, version compatible, has valid
checksums, no ICN or comm port mismatch), the 'download on warm start' attribute is
YES and the instrument did not have a previous shutdown fault, the transfer will occur.
The download on warm start attribute allows a user to (for instance) write protect a
module with cold start values in it and have it download only on cold start.

MOD 30ML Operation
SETUP
2.3.2 UPLOAD From Main Database to Memory Module

Follow this procedure to store a database to a memory module.
1. Set Memory Module switches to "read/write" and "module load".
3. UPLOAD? is displayed by the instrument. To upload to the memory module, press either
the up or down arrows and press the key labeled ENT for enter. The default database is
run with instrument state equal to UPLOAD.
4. UPL DONE SET WP? is displayed by the instrument. The module is now loaded with the
instrument database. If you want to write protect the module, select YES and enter (UPL
DONE, WP DONE). Skip this command and go to the next step if you do not want to
write protect the module.
5. Power down the instrument. Instrument state cannot be changed until power is removed
and module switch is placed in "Normal".
6. Set Memory Module switches to "read/write" or "Read Only" and "Normal".
2.4 DEVICE DISPLAYS

OPERATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
* NOTE: The operating information and instructions in this section apply to

instruments which have been configured using the template setup
procedure described in Section 2.
All operator activities related to ongoing operations are performed using a series of runtime
displays which are accessible on the instrument front panel. A series of tuning displays can
be accessed from the runtime mode. These displays allow tuning adjustment for numerous
alarm and control parameters. Tuning access can be password protected.
Operator activities available in the runtime mode include:
• Selecting of the control loop requiring operator activity

• Monitoring process variable input and set-point
• Monitoring output to the control device
• Monitoring alarm status
• Viewing alarm displays and acknowledging alarms
• Changing the local set-point
• Changing operating mode between manual and automatic
• Changing output value while in manual mode
• Changing set-point source between local set-point and remote set-point (if enabled)
• Changing ratio and bias values (if configured)
3.2 FRONT PANEL

The front panel has three 8-character engineering displays, three 3-character status displays,
and three 50-segment bar graphs. Figure 3-1 shows the instrument front panel.

(∇): instead of up.
3.4 ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAYS

The controller front panel presents alphanumeric displays on six lines, Figure 3-1. These
displays provide operator information during runtime, and parameter identification and values
for tuning.
3-3
OPERATION
The Line 1, Line 2, and Line 6 displays are composed of eight character locations, each
location having fourteen segments. Each location can produce any upper or lower case letter,
numerals 0-9, and several symbols and punctuation marks. Lines 3, 4, and 5 are composed
of three character locations. Each location has the same characteristics as the locations in 8-
character lines.
3.4.1 Line 1 and Line 2 Displays

These are the 8-character displays located at the top of the front panel.
Line 1: Indicates the loop tag assigned during configuration; for

example: [LIC-1202].
Line 2: Indicates the process value in engineering units and can

also include the engineering units label; for example:
[73.8 GPM]. As the process value consumes character
locations towards the right, the engineering units label is
pushed to the right and disappears entirely if the process
value consumes eight characters.
In the Tune mode this display indicates the parameter

being adjusted; for example:[GAIN].
3.4.2 Line 3 Displays

This is the 3-character status display located next to the A key.

displayed. Also indicates entry point of tune
displays and displays parameter data during
tuning and template configuration.
3.5 BAR DISPLAYS

Three 50-segment bar graphs provide visual indication of process, set-point and output in the
runtime displays for a selected control loop. On the alarm displays, the left hand bar provides
visual comparison of an alarm input and its trip point for any active alarm. The other two bars
are blank on the alarm display.
Alarm trip points are indicated by intensified

segments.

OPERATION
3.7 UP / DOWN KEY OPERATION
3.7.1 Ramping
The Up (∆) and Down (∇) keys are used to ramp variables such as local set-point and
control output up or down. The ramping function also applies to tuning and setup. Various
ramp rates can be obtained by using the ∆/∇ keys alone and in combination with the ‘A'
and ‘R/L' keys. The available ramping options are as follows:
Increment Least Press and release the ∆ or ∇ key.

Significant Digit
Ramp Least Press and Hold an ∆ or ∇ key (ramp rate is about two
Significant Digit changes per second).
Increase Ramp Press the ‘A' key while [FST] is flashing. Each depression of
Rate the [FST] key moves the ramping digit one place to the left.
Decrease Ramp Press the ‘R/L' key while [SLO] is flashing. Each depression
Rate of the [SLO] key moves the ramping digit one place to the
right.
Exit Ramping Press the TAG key to exit prior to time out of the flashing
Function [FST] and [SLO] displays.
3.7.2 Data Entry

There are two modes by which the new value or state becomes active in a loop;
Immediate Entry and Procedural Entry:
Immediate Entry The new value of the variable being changed is immediately
[∇ / ∆] implemented in the loop displayed on the front panel. The
immediate entry mode is indicated by a slash mark between the
arrow icons [∇ / ∆]. Examples of immediate entry variables are
local set-point and control output when the loop is in manual.
State changes are not allowed in the immediate entry mode.
Procedural Entry The new value of the variable or state being changed is not
[∇ ∆] implemented in the loop until an entry procedure is performed.
After obtaining the required value using the up or down keys, the
new value is entered by pressing the R/L key while an [ENT]
display is flashing next to the key. The procedural entry mode is
indicated by the absence of a slash mark between the arrow icons
[∇ ∆]. Examples of procedural entry variables are gain and reset;
examples of state changes are direct to reverse control action and
suppressing an enabled alarm.
In the procedural entry mode, the flashing entry prompt [ENT]
times out 10 seconds after use of the arrow keys stops. Thus
there is a timed window during which a new value can be entered.
If the R/L key is not pressed in time, the new data value is aborted
and the variable or state returns to its previous value.
3-8
OPERATION
3.8 SELECTING A CONTROL LOOP FOR DISPLAY

The instrument can contain as many as eight control loops. Each loop is identified by a
user configured tag name. The data displayed on the front panel applies only to the loop
which is identified by the tag name shown on the Line 1 Display.
Press the TAG key to switch the display from one loop to another. Pressing the key
repeatedly while in any runtime display steps the display through the configured loops.
Holding down the TAG key exits the runtime display and accesses the device displays.
On the last loop display, pressing the TAG key wraps back to the first loop allowing the
sequence to be repeated. An example of a runtime display for two different loops is
shown below.

3.9.2 Single Loop Automatic Operation with Remote Set-Point

When a control loop is configured for single loop operation with remote set-point, the front
panel displays and control key operations resemble the examples below.
[AUT] indicates that the controller is in automatic.
[LOC] indicates local set-point. The R/L key is used to

switch to remote set-point.
[SP] indicates that the current local set-point value is

displayed on Line 6 (bottom line). An engineering units
label has been configured for the value.
∇/∆ arrow display indicates that the local set-point can

be changed in automatic.
Press the scroll key to display the remote set-point

ratio (RA appears on line 5 and the ratio value on line
6), press the scroll key again to display the remote set-
point bias (BI appears on line 5 and the bias value on
line 6) and press the scroll key again to display the
remote set-point.
[RSP] on Line 5 indicates that Line 6 is showing the

remote set-point value (before ratio and bias are
applied).
Press the R/L key to switch to remote set-point.
[REM] appears on Line 4 indicating that the active set-

point is from a remote source.
∇/∆ arrow display disappears because remote set-

point cannot be changed.
Press the scroll key until you get [SP] on Line 5. Line 6
now shows the remote set-point value (with ratio and
bias applied). The ∇/∆ arrow display remains blank
because remote set-point is not adjustable from the
front panel.
3-11
OPERATION
3.9.3 Single Loop Automatic Operation with Ratio and Bias

A set-point bumpless transfer is possible when AUTO RAT (ratio) or AUTO BIA (Bias) is
configured. These configurations calculate a ratio or bias value that balances the remote set-
point with the local set-point upon a switch from local to remote set-point.
Using Auto Bias, a switch from local to remote set-point will cause the bias value to
automatically adjust to the difference between the active set-point and the remote
set-point times the ratio value. For example, if the active set-point is 17.00 and the
remote set-point is 20.00 with a ratio of 2.00, then the auto bias value will be:
-23.00 = 17-(20*2).
Using Auto Ratio, a switch from local to remote set-point will cause the ratio value to
automatically adjust to the ratio between the active set-point minus bias and the
remote set-point. For example, if the active set-point is 17.00 and the remote set-
point is 20.00 with a bias of -23.00, then the auto ratio value will be:
2 = 17- (-23.00)/20.
From the Auto, Local, Bias display, press the R/L key to
switch from local to remote set-point (REM).
Bias value automatically adjusts to balance remote and

local set-points.
Press the ∆ or ∇ key to adjust the bias value and change

the active remote set-point by the bias value.
Press the scroll key until appears SP to view the new

set-point.
The same idea applies to use of ratio.
3-12
OPERATION
3.9.4 Single Loop Automatic Operation with Feedforward

Feedforward control is a strategy used to compensate for disturbances in a system before
they affect the controlled process variable. A feedforward control system measures a
disturbance variable, predicts its effect on the process, and applies corrective action to cancel
the effect of the disturbance. A block diagram of this type of system is shown below.
This system provides a combination of feedforward and feedback control. Feedback provides
its normal function of holding the process at the set-point. Feedforward helps the feedback
function by modifying the control output as required to cancel the effect of variations in the
disturbance variable. The feedforward input (set up as a percent of output) is multiplied by a
constant (gain), and a bias value (%) is added to or subtracted from the signal. The gain and
bias values are tunable. The feedforward function can be configured to either add the signal
to the control output or multiply the output by the signal.
The front panel display and control key operations for feedforward control resemble the
example below.
[AUT] indicates that the controller is in automatic with

feedforward input.
[LOC] indicates local set-point.
[FF] indicates that the current feedforward input value is

tracking the process value while the loop in manual so
that the set-point and process are equal when the loop is
transferred back to automatic.
3-14
OPERATION
Transfers In A Loop with Automatic Reset

When the control algorithm has reset (integral) response, transfers from automatic to manual
and from manual to automatic are always bumpless. After switching from manual to
automatic, the process variable is under automatic control in response to the active set-point,
either local or remote.
If the control loop is configured for local set-point tracking, the local set-point tracks the
process value when the loop is in manual. The process is always at the local set-point when a
transfer to automatic is made, regardless of set-point limits
If the control loop does not have local set-point tracking, the local set-point and the process
variable may not be at the same value at the time of a transfer from manual to automatic. The
transfer is still bumpless, but immediately after the transfer the process ramps toward the
local set-point value at the reset rate.
Transfers In A Loop with Manual Reset

If the control loop does not have automatic reset (integral) response, any set-point/process
offset at the time of a transfer from manual to automatic is maintained. If the loop is
configured to provide procedureless manual reset, the manual reset value required to
eliminate the offset is automatically calculated while the loop is in manual, and this calculated
value is used to remove the offset following a transfer to automatic.
If the loop does not have procedureless manual reset, a set-point/process offset after transfer
to automatic can be eliminated by adjusting the manual reset value. This value is one of the
tunable parameters available for adjustment in the tune sequence. Access the tuning
sequence and adjust manual reset to the required value as described in Section 3.14
Tuning.

OPERATION
3.12 CASCADE OPERATION

A cascade control system is a multiple-loop system where the primary variable (in the master
controller) is controlled by adjusting the set-point of a related secondary variable (in the slave
controller). The secondary variable then effects the primary variable through the process. A
block diagram of this type of cascade system is shown below.
The main objective in cascade control is to divide an otherwise difficult to control process into
two portions, whereby a secondary control loop is formed around a major disturbance, thus
leaving only minor disturbances to be controlled by the primary controller.
3.12.1 Cascade Operation in Manual

While in manual [MAN], the slave set-point tracks (automatically remains equal to) the slave
process variable. This characteristic is optional by enabling set-point tracking on the slave. It
will eliminate the need for the controller to respond immediately to any deviation which exists
when the mode is changed from manual to automatic. Without set-point tracking on the slave,
the controller responds to the deviation which exists by ramping the output at the reset rate
established when the instrument was tuned.
Master Controller Slave Controller

Slave set-point tracks
slave process
variable.
Master output tracks

slave set-point.
Slave output can be

adjusted manually.
Master set-point tracks

master process variable.
Meanwhile, the output of the master controller tracks a signal from the slave controller which
represents the set-point of the slave automatically adjusted for ratio or bias. The requirement
for balancing the local and remote set-point signals prior to placing the slave controller in
cascade mode is eliminated.
3-17
OPERATION
It may also be desirable for the set-point of the master to track the master process variable.
This depends on the desirability of permitting the set-point of the master to vary indirectly in
response to changes at the slave controller.
3.12.2 Cascade Operation in Auto

Since the control element (valve, air damper, etc.) is directly manipulated by the slave, the
cascade master is configured to permit only auto mode which simplifies operations by
ensuring that all mode transfers and manual intervention can be accomplished exclusively at
the slave.

point tracks master

configuration. Alarm data can be viewed on a dedicated alarm display provided for each
active alarm.
Alarms can be configured for each control loop to respond to an alarm condition on the
process variable, the control output, and the deviation between the set-point and process
values. As many as four process alarms and two each of the deviation and output alarms can
be configured for each control loop. Alarm types can be high, high high, low, low low, and a
digital output can be enabled for each alarm. The parameters of any of these alarms can be
adjusted in the Tune mode. Tuning allows the following:
• Adjustment of trip value
• Adjustment of hysteresis value
• Assignment of a priority
• Suppression of a configured alarm
Other alarms are available as follows:

• The instrument provides an alarm indication for all diagnostic events which occur in each
configured control loop. Parameters of these alarms are not tunable.
• Data quality alarms can be configured to provide an indication of bad quality on the
process, remote set-point, and feed forward inputs. Priority is the only tunable parameter
for quality alarms.
3.13.1 Alarm Trip points

The high and low alarm trip-points for each control loop are determined at the time of setup.
The trip points and other parameters can be adjusted in the tune mode (see Section 3.14
Tuning). Process and deviation alarms are triggered by the process input. A process alarm
trips (becomes active) when the process reaches a preset high or low trip-point. A deviation
alarm trips when the process value deviates from the control loop set-point by a preset
amount. An output alarm is activated when the control loop output reaches a preset high or
low trip-point. Alarms resulting from rising values are defined as high, and those resulting
from falling values are defined as low. The terms high high and low low mean that two
separate alarms are configured on a single variable with either two high or two low trip points.
3.13.2 Alarm Priority

A priority (0 to 255) can be assigned to each alarm. Alarm priorities are used to display a
more important alarm before a less important alarm when viewing the alarm displays. Priority
1 is the highest priority and priority 255 is the lowest. Priority 0 is assigned to alarms which do
not require acknowledgement; these alarms can only have an active or clear condition.
3-19
OPERATION
3.13.3 Monitoring and Acknowledging Alarms

A dedicated alarm display provides data on each unacknowledged and active alarm. There
are six types of alarm displays (An example of each display type is shown on the following
pages):
• Input variable displays (Process, Remote Set-point, Feed Forward)
• Control output displays
• Set/Process deviation displays
• Data quality displays
• Combination of data quality and input variable displays
• Diagnostic displays
The operator is alerted to an alarm condition by the alarm light in the upper
right hand corner of the front panel.
Depending on instrument configuration, the light can flash or turn on steady

at the inception of an alarm condition, and a beeper can provide audible
indication that an alarm is present. To view alarm data and acknowledge
alarm conditions proceed as follows:
1. When the alarm light or beeper indicates an alarm condition, press the alarm scroll key to
access the alarm displays. Pressing the key repeatedly scrolls through a series of
displays covering all unacknowledged alarms and all acknowledged alarms which are
active (alarm condition still present). See Section 3.13.4 for the viewing sequence of the
alarm displays.
2. Press the ‘A' key to acknowledge an unacknowledged alarm. Refer to the examples for
acknowledgement details.
3. Press the alarm key to advance to the next alarm display, then view the data and
acknowledge the alarm as required.
4. If it is necessary to return to runtime prior to viewing all the alarms, press the R/L key
[RET] to immediately return to runtime.
5. Continue scrolling through alarm displays until [ALARM ] [END] appears on lines 1 and 2,
then proceed as follows:
• Press the R/L key to return to runtime.
• Press the alarm scroll key to repeat the alarm display sequence starting with the first
active alarm.
*NOTE: If the alarm scroll key is pressed when there are no active alarms,
[ALARM] [END]appears on lines 1 and 2 indicating that no alarms are
present. The R/L key [RET] is used to return to the runtime displays.

OPERATION
3.13.4 Alarm Display Viewing Sequence

When the alarm scroll key is pressed to initiate viewing of the alarm displays, the sequence in
which the displays appear depends on the instrument state, type of alarm, alarm priority, and
whether the alarm has been acknowledged.
Instrument In Run State

When the state is RUN the viewing sequence is:
1. Unacknowledged diagnostics in the order of their location in the data base.
2. Unacknowledged quality alarms in order of highest priority to lowest priority (priority

number 1 - 255).
3. Unacknowledged process alarms in order of highest priority to lowest priority (priority

number 1 - 255).
4. Any active, quality alarms not viewed in Step 2 in the order of highest priority to lowest
priority (priority 0 - 255).
* NOTE: Priority 0 alarm displays appear only in Steps 4 and 5 because 0 priority
does not have an unacknowledged condition.
5. Any active process alarms not viewed in Step 3 in order of highest priority to lowest
priority (priority number 0 - 255).
6. Active, but already acknowledged, diagnostics in the order of their location in the data
base.
7. When the above sequence has been completed the [ALARM] [END] display appears, and
pressing the R/L [RET] key returns the runtime display that was visible before entering
the viewing sequence.
Instrument Not In Run State

When the state is not RUN the viewing sequence is:
1. Unacknowledged diagnostics in the order they are in the database.
2. Active, but already acknowledged, diagnostics in the order they are in the database.
3. When the above sequence has been completed the [ALARM] [END] display appears, and
pressing the R/L [RET] key returns the runtime display that was visible before entering
the viewing sequence.
Alarm Activity During A Viewing Sequence

After viewing of the unacknowledged diagnostic alarm displays is started, any new diagnostic
that is stored in the data base area that has already been searched is not displayed until the
next viewing sequence. After viewing of the unacknowledged process alarm displays is
started, any new process alarm which becomes active is not displayed until the next viewing
sequence.
3-24
OPERATION
3.14 TUNING
A series of tuning displays can be accessed directly from the runtime displays. These
displays provide for tuning of both alarm and control parameters. Progression through the
tuning displays, and tuning of parameter values is done using the front panel keys. Specific
parameters available for tuning depend on the configuration of the template identified by the
loop tag. Access to tuning adjustments can be password protected.
3.14.1 Password
When a tune password is configured, the assigned password number must be entered in
order to make tuning adjustments. A single password permits access to both alarm and
control tuning adjustments. If the requested password is not entered or the entered password
is not correct, the tuning parameters and their current values can be viewed but the values
cannot be changed.
The password access can be configured to timeout after an elapsed time of 1 to 54 minute s.
After initial entry of the password, you can exit the tune sequence and reenter without using
the password until the end of the timeout period. If the timeout occurs during a tuning
operation, the sequence can be completed. Reentry will again require the password. If the
timeout is set to 0, the timeout period is infinite. In this case the password is required for initial
entry to the tune sequence and is never used again.

the tune sequence. A 4-letter code identifying the configured control algorithm
type appears on Line 6.
4. Observe the 4-letter code on Line 6. The code letters identify which of the four primary
control algorithm parameters (gain, reset, preact, and manual reset) are active and how
the active parameters are implemented. For example, the code [EOPE] indicates that the
algorithm provides gain on error, reset is off, preact on process, and manual reset is
enabled (see Table 8, Step 8F for more information on Control Type setup).
* NOTE: The gain, reset, and preact prompts always appear in the tuning
sequence. The tuned values of these parameters are used in the control
algorithm only when their code letters are other than O.

3-28
OPERATION
3.15 STARTUP
Procedures may vary from application to application, depending upon individual requirements
and control loop setup. The initial operating mode (usually manual), the set-point source
(usually local), set-point value, and control output can be configured for specified safe values
when power is first applied to the instrument. Each time a control application is first started
up, check all these items before turn-on.
3.15.1 Startup Without Set-Point Tracking

To start up a control loop in the manual mode:
1. Select the required loop using the TAG key.
2. Place the loop in manual mode with local set-point.
3. Adjust local set-point to starting value required for process variable.
4. Adjust manual output to a safe starting value for the process. This is usually below 0% or
above 100% of span.
5. Open block valve ahead of control valve or perform any other procedure required to
make the process variable available, such as starting a pump, turning on a power supply,
etc.
6. Manually adjust control output to bring process variable to set-point value. Ramping the
output should be slow enough to allow the process to respond to the change without
overshooting the set-point. Process is now operating under manual control with process
at the set-point.
3.15.2 Startup With Set-Point Tracking

The startup procedure is simplified when set-point tracking is used. With the control loop in
the manual mode, the set-point tracks the process so that the process and set-point values
are together when the operator switches to the automatic mode.
To start up the controller with set-point tracking:
1. Select the required loop using the TAG key.
2. Place the loop in manual mode.
3. Adjust manual output to a safe starting value for the process. This is usually below 0% or
above 100% of span.
4. Open block valve ahead of control valve or perform any other procedure required to
make the process variable available, such as starting a pump, turning on a power supply,
etc.
3-29
OPERATION
5. Manually adjust control output to bring process variable to required value. Ramping the
output should be slow enough to allow the process to respond without overshooting the
required control point.
An alternate procedure in Step 5 is to bring the process variable up part way, to see that the
control application responds in a controllable manner, then switch to the automatic mode
early in the startup and bring the process variable up to the operating point under automatic
control by adjusting the set-point.

IF 17 INSTRUMENT SHUTDOWN FAULT When the instrument was last powered, an
event occurred which caused it to shut down. It
is now locked in the DEFAULT state. The user
should investigate the cause of the shutdown
and try running the instrument again, if desired,
by writing ACK SHUTDOWN FAULT (value 1)
to IF block Attribute No. 141, Command (CMD).
This acknowledges that the user has seen the
information relating to a previous shutdown
fault and reinitializes the SHUTDOWN INFO
area. Until this is done, the instrument will not
accept commands which could cause it to leave
the DEFAULT state. Information preserved at
shutdown is stored in the non checksummed

IF 20 SPURIOUS EVENT FAULT When the instrument was last powered, the
processor was interrupted by an unexpected
event (i.e. it had no handler to respond to the
event) and the instrument therefore shut down.
See Code 17, INSTRUMENT SHUTDOWN
FAULT.

MOD 30ML Operation
Block
Type
IF 21 EPROM CHECKSUM FAULT When the instrument was last powered, a
checksum error was found in the identity
module EPROM and the instrument therefore
shut down. See Code 17, INSTRUMENT
SHUTDOWN FAULT.
IF 22 BAD RAM FAULT When the instrument was last powered, one of
the RAM chips failed the read/write test, and
the instrument therefore shut down. The error
address is preserved at shutdown. See Code
17, INSTRUMENT SHUTDOWN FAULT.
IF 23 I/O BOARD 1 COMMUNICATIONS An error (no response or bad message
ERROR checksum) occurred in trying to communicate
with the carrier board. There are wrap around
counters for these errors at IF1,SLNORSPS
and IF1,SLCHKSMS.
IF 39 BAD CLOCK CHIP The real time clock chip is not working
correctly. Time and date information will not
remain current through a power outage.
IF 40 TIME AND DATE NOT VALID The time of day, calendar date, and day of
week need to be set.
IF 41 I/O IS LOCKED The I/O is locked because Attribute No.195,
Lock I/O Blocks (IOLOCK) is YES. In the
locked state, output function block values are
not copied to the output module block output
value, and input module block values are not
copied to the input function blocks. Field input
values continue to be updated in the input
module blocks and output module block values
can be written by the operator.
IF 42 COMMUNICATION BLOCKS ARE Communications are locked because Attribute
LOCKED No. 158, Lock ICN Communications Blocks ?
(COMMLOCK) is YES. In the locked state, the
output communication blocks do not fetch data
from their source pointers (they do continue to
send out their current value), and input
communication blocks do not refresh their
outputs from received messages. Input and
output communication block outputs can be
written to by the operator.
IF 43 DMA FAULT An error occurred in a DMA transfer and the
instrument therefore shut itself down. The
diagnostic is readable when the instrument is
powered up again. See Code 17,
INSTRUMENT SHUTDOWN FAULT .

MOD 30ML Operation

Block
Type
IF 44 I/O OVERRUN The instrument is unable to complete all I/O
sampling at the intervals specified. The scan
execution times should be examined to
determine which tasks should be simplified or
run at a slower rate. Note that when the
instrument is overconfigured, all tasks will run
at a proportionally slower rate.
IF 45 COMM HARDWARE FAULT A communication module is installed in slots 9
and 10 of a MOD 30ML (1800R) and the built-in
communication jumpers are set for built-in
communication; a conflict of resources occurs
since both require use of communication port 1.
The instrument is placed in the DEFAULT state.
No block is built for either case, leaving PC
communication only available via a
communication module in slot 7 & 8.
IF 46 EEPROM FAULT The data stored in EEPROM of a MOD 30ML
(1800R) could not be loaded into the instrument
database. Default values were loaded and are
being used. The data values include the
calibration data for the built-in I/O and
communication parameters for built-in
communication port.

downloaded. Another diagnostic will be present
to indicate why the download did not happen.
