Safety Precautions

Before using this product, the user is requested to read the following precautions carefully to ensure the
safety. Safety precautions must be taken by every user to prevent accidents.
The safety requirements are classified into “Warning” and “Caution” according to the following interpreta-
tions :

Suggesting that the user's mishandling can

Warning result in personal death or serious injury.

Suggesting that the user's mishandling can result

Caution in personal injury or damage to the property.

WARNING Over-temperature Protection

“Any control system design should take into account that any part of the system has the potential to fail”.
“For temperature control systems, continued heating should be considered the most dangerous condition,
and the machine should be designed to automatically stop heating if unregulated due to the failure of the
control unit or for any other reason”.
The following are the most likely causes of unwanted continued heating:
1) Controller failure with heating output constantly on
2) Disengagement of the temperature sensor from the system
3) A short circuit in the thermocouple wiring
4) A valve or switch contact point outside the system is locked to keep the heat switched on.
In any application where physical injury or destruction of equipment might occur, we recommend the instal-
lation of independent safety equipment, with a separate temperature sensor, to disable the heating circuit in
case of overheating.
The controller alarm signal is not designed to function as a protective measure in case of controller failure.

emitted.
• a place where the unit is subject directly to vibration or shock.
(Vibration or shock may cause output relay malfunction.)
• a place exposed to water, oil, chemicals, steam and vapor.
(if immersed with water, take the inspection by sales office to avoid an electr-ical leakage and firing)
• a place where the unit is exposed to dust, salt air, or air containing iron particles.
• a place where the unit is subject to intereference with static electricity, mag netism, and noise.
• a place where the unit is exposed to direct sunlight.
• a place where the heat may be accumulated due to the radiation of heat.

2.2 Caution on installation on panel

PXR4
• Insert the mounting bracket (accessory) from the rear side until the main unit is securely fit into the
panel. If there are some gaps, tighten two screws until the gaps are eliminated. (Do not tighten the
screws excessively be cause the mounting bracket can be removed from the stopper by the force.)
• The front side of this controller conforms to NEMA4X (equivalent with IP66). To ensure the water-
proofness between the instrument and the panel, use packings that are provided as accessories in
the following manner: (The improper fitting of packings will ruin the waterproofness.)
q As shown in Figure 1, fit a packing to the case of the unit and then insert it in the panel.
w Tighten screws on the fixing frame or fixtures so that no gaps are given between the front of
controller and packing and between panels. Check that there are no deformation of packing as
shown in Fig.3.
• If panel strength is weak, it may causes a gap between the packing and the panel, thus impairing
water resistance.

• Please attach the PXR7 with the included Fixtures (2 pieces) to the top and bottom, and tighten with
a screwdriver. The clamp torque is approximately 0.15 · Em.
• It is designed such that overtightening will cause left/right cracking to the central area of the Fixtures
and hence reduce the torque. Cracking to the central area will not cause any problems in terms of
usability of the equipment. (However, do exercise caution in not applying too much torque because
the casing is made of plastic.)
• The front side of this controller conforms to NEMA4X (equivalent with IP66). To ensure the water-
proofness between the instrument and the panel, use packings that are provided as accessories in
the following manner: (The improper fitting of packings will ruin the waterproofness.)
q As shown in Figure 4, fit a packing to the case of the unit and then insert it in the panel.
w Tighten screws on the fixing frame or fixtures so that no gaps are given between the front of
controller and packing and between panels. Check that there are no deviation and deformation of
packing as shown in Fig.3.
• If panel strength is weak, it may causes a gap between the packing and the panel, thus impairing
water resistance.

• In case of using the packing in installation, please note the procedure below.
(The overtightening condition may occur and it makes the enclosure strained.)
♦ Tighten screws until the center of fixture cause left/right cracking and clanking about 5 times.
(The clamping torque will be fitted automatically in this condition.)

2.3 Precautions in wiring connection
• For the thermocouple sensor type, use thermocouple compensation wires for wiring.
For the RTD type, use a wiring material with a small lead wire resistance and no resistance differen-
tials among three wires.
• Keep input lines away from power line and load line to avoid the influence from noise induced.
• For the input and output signal lines, be sure to use shielded wires and keep them away from each
other.
• If a noise level is excessive in the power supply, the additional installation of an insulating transformer
and the use of a noise filter are recommended.
(example: ZMB22R5-11 Noise Filter manufactured by TDK)
Make sure that the noise filter is installed to a place such as a panel that is properly grounded. The
wiring between the noise filter output terminal and the instrument power supply terminal should be
made as short as possible. None of fuses or switches should be installed to the wiring on the noise
filter output side because the filter effect will be degraded by such a installation.
• A better anti-noise effect can be expected by using stranded power supply cable for the instrument.
(The shorter the stranding pitch is, the better the anti-noise effect can be expected.)
• For the unit with an alarm against a failure (burn-out) in the heater, use the same power line for
connection of the power supplies for the heater and the controller.
• A setup time is required for the contact output when the power is turned on. If the contact output is
used as a signal for an external interlock circuit, use a delay relay at the same time.
• Use the auxiliary relay since the life is shortened if full capacity load is connected to the output relay.
SSR/SSC drive output type is preferred if the output operations occur frequently.
[Proportional interval] relay output : 30 seconds or more,
SSR/SSC : one second or more
• If inductive load such as magnetic switches connected as a relay output load, it is recommended to
use Z-Trap manufactured by Fuji Electric Systems to protect a contact from switching serge and keep
a longer life.
Model : ENE241D-05A (power supply voltage: 100 V)
ENE471D-05A (power supply voltage: 200 V)
Where to install : Connect it between contacts of the relay control output.

2.4 Requirement for key operation/operation in abnormalities

• Prior to the operation, be sure to check alarm functions, since a failure in the proper setting will result
in a failure in the proper output of an alarm in case of an abnormality.
• A display of UUUU or LLLL will appear in case of a break in the input. Be sure to turn off the power
when a sensor is replaced.

2.5 Others
• Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol and benzine to wipe this controller. Use a neutral deter-
gent for wiping the controller.

 Remarks

Note) Panel coating procedure must be taken into account, for the panel cutout dimension should still
conform with the dimensions listed in the left hand column.
Caution on side-by-side installation:
• Maximum ambient temperature is at 45 ˚C when the power supply is at 200VAC or more. When
the PXR4 controller is tightly fixed in vertical and upright direction, the use of 100V AC power
supply is recommended .
(Installation of fan is recommended as a heat release measure)
• Make sure the controller is installed more than 30mm away, when there is an instrument of
more than 70mm depth or a wall on the right side of the controller.
• Side-by-side installation may sacrifice the controller’s waterproof property.

70 or more
30 min.

Caution on wiring:
• Terminals at the left hand side (from No.1 to 6) should be used first.
• Crimp terminals with matching screw size should be used. Tightening torque value should be

 6-2 Auto-tuning (AT)
Autotuning is the automatic calculation and entering of the control parameters (P,I and D) into memory. Prior to
the auto-tuning, complete the setting of input range
(P-SL,P-SU, P-dP), a set value (SV), alarm setting (AL1, AL2), and cycle time (TC).

How to start the auto-tuning

Set the parameter AT as either “1” or “2” by using or key, and press the SEL key to start the auto-turning.
Then the point indicator at the lower right starts blinking. At the completion of Auto-tuning, the point indicator
stops blinking, then parameter AT is automatically set to 0.

PID control PID control

(a) The P.I.D. parameter calculated by auto-tuning remains even if the power is turned off. If the power is
turned off before the auto-tuning is completed, you must restart the auto-tuning.
(b) The PV may be changed greatly depending on the process, because the control output is ON/OFF
action (two position operation) in the auto-tuning. So, do not use the auto-turning if the process does
not allow a significant variation of PV.
In addition, the auto-tuning should not be used in any process such as pressure control and flow
control, where a quick-response is required.
(c) If the auto-tuning isn’t completed in four hours, the auto-tuning is suspected to fail. In this case, check
the wiring and parameters such as the control action, input type, etc.
(d) Carry out the auto-tuning again, if there is any change in SV, input range (P-SL, P-SV or P-dP) or
process condition. Perform the auto-tuning if fuzzy control is selected as the control algorithm.
(e) While carring out auto-tuning, PV operates as shown in Figs 1 and 2.
(f) Execute the auto-tuning also when fuzzy control is selected in control type setting.
(g) When resetting the AT parameter, set the parameter to “0” once, then reset it.

– 20 –
 6-3 Self-tuning
1) At power on, changing a set value or the external disturbance, tuning is made automatically so that the PID
parameters are re-optimized.
It is useful where modification of PID parameters is required repeatably due to frequent change in process
condition.
If high controllability is important, select the PID or fuzzy control algorithm and use auto-tuning.

2) Setting for self-tuning

q Turn on the power and set the SV.
w Select SELF at “CTrL” (control algorithm) parameter.
e Turn off the power once.
r Turn on the power of the whole system. The controller should be turned on at the same time with the
other equipments or even later. Otherwise, the self- tuning might not be performed successfully.
t Self-tuning starts. Then the point indicator at the lower right corner starts blinking until the PID param-
eters are re-optimized.
Note) Whenever it is necessary to re-try the self-tuning, please set “CTrL” = PID once, and then start the
above setting procedure from the beginning.

4) Self-tuning is executed by any of the following conditions.
q During temperature rise at power ON.
w During temperature rise at SV changing if necessary.
e When control is out of stable condition and is judged as being out of stable condition continuously.

5) Self-tuning is not executed under the following conditions:

q During standby mode
w During ON/OFF control
e During auto-tuning
r During ramp/soak operation
t During input error
y With dual output (“P-n1” ≥ 4)
u When P, I, D or Ar is manually set

Under the following coditions, self-tuning is canceled.

q When SV is changed.
w When Self-Tuning can not be completed in about 9 hours after the start.

6) Cautions
· Turn on the power of the whole system. The controller should be turned on at even later. Otherwise, the
self-tuning might not be performed successfully.
· Don’t change the SV while the self-tuning is executing.
· Once PID parameters are optimized, the self-tuning is not excuted at the next power on unless SV is
changed.
· After the execution of self-tuning, if the controlability is not your expected level, please select PID or
FUZZY at “CTrL” parameter, and then, start the auto-tuning.

Note 1) Except for the following, the input accuracy is ±0.5% FS ±1 digit ±1 °C (Input accuracy
does not be guaranteed for the ranges of measurement other than in the table above.)
R thermocouple 0 to 500 °C
: in these ranges, this controller may display an incorrect
B thermocouple 0 to 400 °C process value due to the characteristic of the sensor.
Note 2) In case a measuring range of -150 to 600 °C or -150 to 850 °C is used for resistance bulb
input, temperatures below -150°C does not be indicated correctly. Therefore, “LLLL” does
not appear despite a continuous fall below -150°C.
Note 3) If the resistance bulb or thermocouple is used at a temperature below the lowest value in
the measurement range, the input accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Note 4) Addition of decimal point is impossible if the input range or span is larger than 999.9 at the
RTD/thermocouple input.
