Supported Model Input Description
Models • CP1W-TS001 2 Thermocouple Type K or J Inputs

Conditions for • P_On (Always On Bit) should be connected to the EN input.

Usage • The Enable input operates the PID Control.
• All input parameters should confirm the specification range.

Function The TC_2PID_function_block adds PID Control with Auto-Tuning feature for the CP1W-TS expansion units.
Description
Prerequisite for the Function Block to operate correctly, P_On (Always On Bit) should be connected to the
EN Input. The PLC evaluates the function block status every PLC cycle. Simultaneously the Control Output is
not operating unless the Enable input is on, thus preventing uncontrolled execution of any equipment
controlled by the PID Control.

The Process Value input is of sensor input type Thermocouple, Platinum Resistance Thermometer or
Analog. The Set Point is user defined and related based on the type of sensor input plus the operating
range of the sensor input. The operating range may differ per sensor type. The maximum and minimum
parameters contain the operating range of the sensor input. Please consult the specific sensor datasheet
for the accurate operating range.

The P, I, D and Control Period parameters determine the responsiveness of the PID Control function. The P,
I and D parameters can be configured using two different methods. The first method is configuring the
parameters manually. The second method automatically detects the ideal parameters using the built-in
Auto-Tuning feature. While the Auto-Tuning process is in progress, the Auto-Tuning Status Bit is on. Once
the Auto-Tuning is completed, the Auto-Tuning Status Bit is off and P, I and D Output parameters show the
result of the Auto-Tuning process. Starting and stopping of the Auto-Tuning process is executed manually.

The Control Period parameter defines the responsiveness of the Control Output. It evaluates at specified
time interval the output status of the 2PID function.

Errors generated by the TC_2PID_function_block cause the Control Output to stop operating. In the event
of an error, the Error Bit is on and the status code shall adjust accordingly. In order to continue the 2PID
Control Function, the error has to be reset manually.

FB precautions • Switching off the Enable input causes the Control Output to turn off.
• Invalid input values prohibit the Control_Output from operating. It remains off until the input
parameters are within the correct range and resetting the error.
• Invalid P, I and D parameters shall execute an Auto-Tuning process when attempting to enable the
Function Block.
• It is required to acknowledge an error using the Reset_Error input before the Function Block can
operate.

EN Input Connect P_On (Always On Bit) to EN Input in order to operate the Function Block.
Condition
Restrictions
Input Variables • Control_Period has an operating range from 1.00 to 99.99 seconds.
• Filter_Coefficient has input range from α = 0.00 to 0.99 (#0100 to #0163).
• Maximum and Minimum Set Point Values should be consistent with the connected Temperature
Output Sensor.
Variables
• The differential up of Start_AT and Stop_AT start or stop the Auto-Tuning process.
• AT_Status turns automatically off once the Auto-Tuning process is completed.
• The OUT_P, OUT_I and OUT_D variables display the used PID parameters.

Application
Example 1 :

Applying
Thermocouple
Input as Process
Value

• Please confirm that all parameters are set and are within the range specification. Otherwise, an error
occurs depending on what input parameter is invalid.
• The data range at the Process Value that include one digit after the decimal point are stored without
the decimal point, i.e., 10 times the actual value is stored, e.g. Unit: 0.1C° -> 500.0 C° = &5000 =
#1388.
• The Set Point parameter is the target value were the PID control focuses. Additional parameters
related to Set Point are Maximum and Minimum parameters. They define the maximum and
minimum range for the Set Point parameter.
• The PID parameters can be configured manually using P_Input, I_Input and D_Input. The
Write_PID_Inputs input is required to write the PID input parameters.
• If no PID parameters are stored, the function block shall generate a #0601 error when attempting to
enable the 2-PID function. The user can manually start the Auto-Tuning Process causing the status
code #0002 to occur. While the Auto-Tuning process in ongoing, the AT_Status bit is turned on and
will turn off when the Auto-Tuning process has been completed.
• OUT_P, OUT_I and OUT_D parameters are used as User Data Information outputs to inform the user
what PID parameters are applicable for the PID function.
• The Control Period parameter defines the responsiveness of the Control Output. The operating range
is 1.00 to 99.99 seconds. For example, when the Control Period is set to #0064 = &100 (1 second), the
PID function evaluates every 1 second whether to switch on or off the Control_Output.
• The Error Bit turns on when an error has occurred. Please refer to Status Codes for detailed
information regarding what type of error has occurred.

Input as Process
Value
• CP1W-TS003
only

• Please confirm that all parameters are set and are within the range specification. Otherwise, an error
occurs depending on what input parameter is invalid.
• The data range at the Process Value is based on the Analog Input. For example, 4 to 20 mA is
converted into #0000 to #2EE0.
• The Set Point parameter is the target value were the PID control is focused. Additional parameters
related to Set Point are Maximum and Minimum parameters. They define the maximum and
minimum range for the Set Point parameter.
• The PID parameters can be configured manually using P_Input, I_Input and D_Input. The
Write_PID_Inputs input is required to write the PID input parameters.
• If no PID parameters are stored, the function block shall generate a #0601 error when attempting to
enable the 2-PID function. The user can manually start the Auto-Tuning Process and a status code of
#0002 shall occur. While the Auto-Tuning process in ongoing, the AT_Status bit is turned on and will
turn off when the Auto-Tuning process has been completed.
• OUT_P, OUT_I and OUT_D parameters are used as User Data Information outputs to inform the user
what PID parameters are applicable for the PID function.
• The Control Period parameter defines the responsiveness of the Control Output. The operating range
is 1.00 to 99.99 seconds. For example, when the Control Period is set to #0064 = &100 (1 second), the
PID function evaluates every 1 second whether to switch on or off the Control_Output.
• The Error Bit turns on when an error has occurred. Please refer to Status Codes for detailed
information regarding what type of error has occurred.
