SLPC Programmable Indicating Conteoter.Model SLPC 2. GENERAL. The SLPC Programmable Indicating, Controller is provided with PID control, signal conditioning (arithmetieal computation) and sequence togie func tions. Ic is capable of various types of conteo, ranging from simple PID contsol to batch control, sampled value PL contol, non-linear control and dead time compensation control. Cascade control or auto-selector control can be performed by a single SLPC controller. Desired sequence logic computations and other arithmetic computations can be synthesized by com: bining approximately 32 types of computational func ‘The SPRG Programmer enables the user to create programs easly — using language like that of a pro arammable pocket calculator.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION. 4-1. Description of Circuit Operation. Refer to the SLPC circuit block diagram in Section 4.4 below, 441-1. Analog Input Circuit A voltage input signal enters the input ciruit com: prising Rin, Rv and Cs, Rov resistance is high (LM. ‘ohm), 50 i€ normally does not fect ctcuit operation, 1 the input circuit is open (input disconnected), how ‘ever, it provides a DC path between (+) and (—) input terminals to prevent the buildup of state charge fon the (+) input fine. OV DC input (eg. input open) {s equivalent to ~25% of range, Re and Cs form an input filter of time constant ap- proximately 0.1 sec All anslog-input negative leads are connected to a ‘common line inside the SLPC. 4-1-2. A/D (Analog/Digital) Converter Circuit. Analog input signals entering the input circuit are selected in turn by the input multiplexer. The com: parator compares an input sigaal with the output of the D/A (digitaVanalog) converter circuit, and the CPU adjusts the D/A converter output so that the two Signals are equal — basically a successive-approxim tion type A/D converter. The corresponding di value is stored in the data memory (RAM) 4 - Digital Input Circuit Digital (status) input signals are each isolated by a transformer in the input ciruit, Input status is read Via an input port and transmitted via the data bus to RAM. At the same time as the digital inputs are read, the status of switches (SET, C/A/M, MV, TUNING, ACTION) on the instrument front and side panels is also read and stored in RAM. Computing Circuit. When all the input data are read, the micropro cessor (CPU) performs data processing according 10 ‘the computation/control program stored in user ROM. ‘The results of computation and control are output via the D/A eicuit or output port IK a supervisory system is connected, data com- ‘munications is performed via a communications inter- face (SICU). The communications fine is isolated feom the controller by a photocoupler. Principles of Operation 4—1 The WDT (watch dog timer) connected to the CPU ‘supervises the CPU operation ~ it causes the PAIL lamp to fight and ouputs a fail contact signal i the CPU fails. In such a ease, the manipulated output cur- ent signal (Y1) is automatically isolated from the digital circuit, and ean be varied manually. The process variable indicator thea automaticaly displays the value of input signal No. 1 (X1) 4 - Analog Output Circuit. The anslog output signals, after D/A conversion, are fed via the output mukiplexer and buffer amplifier to the current and voltage output circuits, The analog output signal negative line is common, and is connected directly to the andlog input signal common negative line. 4.6, Digital Output Ciruit.

Principles of Computational Operations. ‘The SLPC performs three basic operations — read- ing the input signal, computation, and outputting the computed result. The example in Figure 4-2-1 shows hhow the addition of two input signals is programmed, and Figure 4-2-2 shows how the sack registers change uring the program, Computations are performed i ‘the common stack registers 8. Connection of signals to the registers ~ that is, inputting to the S registers — 'S performed by means of the LOAD (LD) instruc tion. The S registers $: thru S: comprise a “stack”, and data in Sis pushed down (S: to Sete) each time data is input by the LD insteuction, Aithmetical operations can be performed on the dat thus input by using FUNCTION instructions There are 32 kinds of computational and control FUNCTION instcuctions, and these instructions are writen using a corresponding mnemonic symbol, such as +, HSL, ete, The computation is performed on data stored in the S registers, and the result is popped up 10 the top register, St ‘The STORE (ST) instruction is used for copying & computed result from the top register of stack to an ‘output register. The contents of the S registers are not ‘changed by an ST instruction In reacz.or€4-2 Principles of Operation mm | POA nian oa + Yadaiton | Srv lve I ao Figure 4-2-1.

Configuration of Input-Output Registers Figure 4:2:3 shows the SLPC register configuration. Analog, digital and Set parameter inputs are read into the registers Xs, Dlv and Py before execution of the user program begins, The user program reads neces sry input signals and parameters from the respective input registers into the arithmetic registers using LD instructions, and copies the computed results 10 the ‘output registers (Ys, DOn) using ST instructions. Fi- rally, the conteoler outputs the contents of the output registers (Yw. DOn) as analog or digital values. This eycle repeats every 0.2 ee 4.2.3, Principles of Operation of Control Function. ‘There are thvee kinds of control functions: the basic contsol function BSC — one computing function representing one controller, the cascade control func lion CSC representing two controllers connected in series, and the auloseletor control function SSC — with (wo conteollers connected in parallel — which selecls one of three signals: either one of two con: troller outputs oan input signal ‘The basic control function BSC is a PID controller that accepis the process variable PV and outputs the control signal MV. i 5 i f LOAD XT oremeer FUNG BSC SoHE Yi Figure 42-3.

Tuning PID Parameters ‘When applying the controller to an unknown pro- cess, itis useful to examine the performance of the process in manual moe. This can be useful in estimating the proportional band, integral time and derivative time required for automatic mode For example, if small change in the controller output causes large Actuation in the process. vat: able value, the width ofthe proportional band must be increased (the gain must be reduced) to assure ‘abil. In the converse case, the proportional band must be narrowed For a process which responds quickly to a change in the controller output, the integral and derivative time constants must be short, Conversely, for a pro cess having # Jong recovery” time, the integral and derivative time constants must be lon. (1) “Proportional + integral” controller 8) Set the control mode to [Mf]. decrease the inegrat time to the minimum (1 see), then set it to 9999 sec, Set the proportional band to a sufficientlyModel SPC large value, and then set the control mode to Db) Set the derivative time to 0 sec. Perform the following operations to obtain the ‘optimum value forthe proportional band Lower the proportional band in steps fom a sul ciently large value (For example, 100% — SO — 208). Take a sulliently long time for each step, so thatthe state of control can be observed ful Continue this operation until the control toon begins eyeing. (Cycling means periodic (cyclic) ‘oscillation of the process variable pointer around the set point, and this phenomenon is caused by setting the proportional band narrower (setting ‘the gain higher) than the optimum value for the process.) The optimum proportional band is ap prox. 22 times that of the proportional band which causes such eyeing. Next measure the period of the cycling. The ‘optimum integral time can be obtained by ‘muliplying this oscilation period by 0.83 Up to a point, decreasing. the integral time im: Proves the speed of response of the contvoller, but i the integral time is shortened too far, eye- Hingis caused due to dead time in the process.
