StarPac II User Interface Manual 1

StarPac II Local interface
Structure & Operation
The StarPac II local user interface allows complete user access to
configure and calibrate a StarPac II Intelligent Control Valve
System. The interface consists of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
and a membrane-covered keypad. The LCD is a 4 X 20 character
display with the top two lines user configured for normal operation,
or for displaying instructions or options during configuration. The
bottom two lines are used to indicate menu options that are
selected with the four function keys. To the right of the menu
options, on the bottom two lines, are two normally blank spaces
that indicate Alarm or Error conditions, indicated by a flashing “A”
and/or “E”. A flashing “T” on the right side of the display indicates
that the unit is in Test mode and will not respond to commands
until the unit is set to Manual or Auto mode in the TUNE menu.
The keyboard has three types of keys; the menu control keys (which
consist of the LAST OPTION, F1, F2, F3, and F4 keys); the alpha-
numeric keys; and the colored shift keys. The F1, F2, F3, and F4
keys refer to the menu options listed in the LCD of the interface. The
LAST OPTION key is used to move back through the menus. The
alpha-numeric keys are used to enter data requested in various
options. The red, blue and green shift keys are used to select the
corresponding colored letter on the alpha-numeric keypad.
The various menu options have three basic forms. The first type is a
list that is scrolled through by using the F1 and F2 keys labeled
NEXT and PREVIOUS. The second type uses the F1 and F2 keys
to adjust a value up or down, and the third type uses the F1 and F2
keys to move the cursor to a position. The keypad is used to enter
characters. In all of the options, the F3 key is used to cancel the
operation. If the F3 key is pressed before the system returns to the
menu, then all variables are returned to their old values. The F4 key
is used to accept the current values in the display and continue.

The HOME menu has selections of STATUS, TUNE, CALIBRATE, and

CONFIGURE. Each of these menus has several sub-menus. The
bottom two lines define the function keys that control the individual
menus. The top two lines in the display are user configurable and
may not look like Figure 1.
The menus shown in the figures in this manual represent how the
information is laid out in the local display menu tree. The top row of

the figures shows the bottom two rows of the display. One of the
fields is in Bold type. Press the F key under this field to bring up the
choices shown on the bottom row. If you see the word ‘Next,’ then
push the F4 button to bring up the continuation of that row. To move
back up the menu tree, push the button labeled ‘Last Option’ to see
the preceding row.
Initial Startup
The StarPac II system is designed to interface with a variety of DCS
systems using analog, discrete, and digital communications.
Because of the processing power of the StarPac II system, a
separate 24 VDC power connection is required and connected to
terminals 16 (-) and 17 (+). This power supply should have a
minimum current capacity of 300 mA.
Before powering up the unit - Read the section “Setting the
System Jumpers” and set them according to the instructions and
particular application.
Powering up the unit on the bench - When the unit is first powered
up, the display will show the version number of the firmware for two
seconds before beginning operation. The StarPac II system sensors
are calibrated at the factory and the fluid data is entered as specified
on the order. However, due to the differing nature of installations,
the units and ranges of the analog and discrete I/O are not
configured at the factory.
The suggested process for setting up a new system on the bench is:
1. In the CONFIGURE menu, select the engineering units you will
be using.
2. If you will be using analog I/O signals, use the CONFIGURE
menu to set up the analog channels to indicate the proper
process variables and ranges you will be using. Note that
the StarPac II system treats gas flow and liquid flow as
different variables and they must each be specified correctly.
3. Connect the instrument air supply (40-150 psi) to the ¼-inch
NPT air supply port located on the back of the unit.
4. Use the STATUS menu and set the Row Two variable to
“valve position.”
5. Use the TUNE menu to put the unit in to Manual mode with a
digital command.
6. Using the “Command %” option in the TUNE menu, enter a 0
percent command and verify that the position follows to
within 0.5 percent.
Note: Command is a term with two meanings. For a
traditional control valve, the command is the signal a
controller sends to the I/P. position the stem. For the StarPac
II, this meaning refers to the signal sent to the positioning
module. When the StarPac II is in Manual mode, Command
also refers to the signal sent to the StarPac II via analog input
No. 1, a digital Modbus channel, or the front keypad. These
commands may differ due to the internal stroke calibration
and an inverted signal for air to close valves.

7. Using the Command % option in the TUNE menu, enter a 100
percent command and verify that the position follows to
within 0.5 percent.
8. If the unit fails either of the tests above, perform a Stroke
calibration in the CALIBRATE menu.
9. Use the STATUS menu and set the Row Two variable to be
“ISA upstream pressure.”
10. Verify that the unit is correctly indicating the ambient
pressure.
“ISA downstream pressure.”
12. Verify that the unit is correctly indicating ambient pressure.
13. If the unit fails the above tests, re-zero the transducers using
the P1 & P2 option in the CALIBRATE menu. You may also
need to pressurize the sensors and verify the Span if the
calibration is suspect.
“process temperature.”
15. Verify that the unit is correctly indicating ambient
temperature.
16. If the unit fails the above test, re-calibrate the transducer
using the thermocouple option in the CALIBRATE menu. (This
calibration requires a Type-K thermocouple simulator or a
temperature bath.)
17. Use the CALIBRATE menu to check the analog channels that
you will be using.
18. Finally, use the TUNE menu to select the process variable
that you will be controlling and set the range.
Putting the Unit on line - After installing the unit, use the TUNE
menu to configure the setpoint signal to the proper source for your
DCS system. If you will be using the system in the Automatic mode,
adjust the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) parameters so the
loop responds satisfactorily.
Backing up the system - When you have your unit calibrated and
working according to your needs, back up the configuration into the
safe memory area. This is done in the Save Backup choice in the
Tech option of the CONFIGURE menu.

Status Menu
The STATUS menu is used to view information about the configuration
and operation of the system. Errors and alarms can also be viewed
from this menu. The STATUS menu is arranged as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 3: Alarm / Errors Tree

Alarms - Allows the user to view any current alarms using the NEXT
or PREVIOUS function keys. Possible alarms are:
Setpoint Deviation - The controller is unable to maintain the
process at the current setpoint. (Sensitivity is adjusted using
StarTalk software.)
Positioner Deviation - The positioner is unable to maintain the
valve position at the current command. (Sensitivity is adjusted
using StarTalk software.)
Trip Condition - The unit is in a trip condition of either loss of
command, low supply air, or a low flow cutoff. Low flow is
determined when the pressure drop across the valve is less than
0.5% of the calibrated range of the pressure sensors. (Use the
Row 1 Variable MODE/STATUS menu selection to display the type
of trip.)
Override Condition - Indicates the controller is not currently
capable of doing any more to achieve the setpoint (or valve
position). This can be any of the trip conditions, or a mechanical
or software travel limit has been reached and the controller has
exceeded the 5 percent current limit.
Sensor Malfunction - One of the sensors has a suspect output.
(See sensor errors for detail.)
Device Malfunction - The electronics has an internal error.
(See device errors for detail.)
Sensor Errors - Allows the user to view any current sensor errors
using the NEXT or PREVIOUS function keys. Possible sensor errors
are:
Upstream Pressure - The output of the upstream pressure
sensor is out of range.
Downstream Pressure - The output of the downstream
pressure sensor is out of range.
Cylinder Top Press - The output of the top actuator pressure
Cylinder Bot Press - The output of the bottom actuator
pressure sensor is out of range.
Process Temperature - The output of the process temperature
Ambient Temperature - The output of the ambient temperature
Position Feedback - The output of the position feedback sensor
is out of range.
Device Errors - Allows the user to view any device errors using the
NEXT or PREVIOUS function keys. Possible device errors are:
Watch Dog Timeout - The CPU had an interruption in the
execution cycle. This is sometimes caused by momentary
power interruptions. However, if it persists, this is a serious error
usually requiring hardware replacement. This error can only be
cleared by turning off the device and then turning it on again.
SRAM R/W Failure - The static RAM had an error. This is a
serious error usually requiring hardware replacement if it

persists. This error can only be cleared by turning off the device
and then turning it on again.
EPROM Checksum Error - Check the integrity of the firmware.
This error usually occurs when the firmware is changed and can
be cleared with an initialization. (This is done by holding down
the “0” on the keypad while powering up the unit.
Warning: An initialization will also reset the communication
parameters, password, and PID control parameters.
NVRAM R/W Failure - The non-volatile RAM had an error. This
is a serious error usually requiring hardware replacement if it
persists. This error can only be cleared by turning the device off
and then turning it on again.
Thermocouple Burnout - The thermocouple junction is open.
Check interface connections, thermocouple, and/or wire.
A/D Failure - One of the A/D converters is not working correctly.
If slowly cycling the power does not clear the error, then a
hardware replacement is necessary.
Vcc Out of Tolerance - An internal power supply is operating
out of tolerance.
V- Out of Tolerance - An internal power supply is operating out
of tolerance.
V+ Out of Tolerance - An internal power supply is operating out
of tolerance.
Illegal Pointer - One of the configurable arrays is using an
invalid register.
NVRAM Checksum Error - A value in the non-volatile RAM was
changed without resetting the checksum. Performing any write
function, such as a setpoint or command change should reset
the error. If the system behaves erratically after receiving an
error, the NVRAM may have been corrupted and you should
reload the factory configuration table from the disk provided
using the StarTalk for Windows software.
Divide by Zero - The StarPac II unit attempted an illegal math
operation due to bad calibration or configuration settings.
Reload the factory configuration table from the disk provided,
using StarTalk for Windows software.
Alarm Mask - Allows the user to enable or disable individual alarm
functions.
Setpoint Deviation - The controller is unable to maintain the
process at the current setpoint. (Sensitivity is adjusted using
StarTalk software.)
Positioner Deviation - The positioner is unable to maintain the
valve position at the current command. (Sensitivity is adjusted
using StarTalk software.)
Trip Condition - The unit is in a trip condition of either loss of
command, low supply air or a low flow cutoff. (Use the
MODE/STATUS menu selection to display the type of trip.)

Override Condition - Indicates the controller is currently not
capable doing any more to achieve the setpoint (or valve
position). This can be any of the trip conditions, or a mechanical
or software travel limit has been reached and the controller has
exceeded the 5 percent current limit.
Sensor Malfunction - One of the sensors has a suspect output.
(See sensor errors for detail.)
Device Malfunction - The electronics has an internal error.
(See device errors for detail.)

TUNE menu is arranged as shown in Figure 4.

Mode - Has two options for defining the current mode and the
source of the mode.

Man/Auto - This option selects or changes the operating mode if
the mode source has been set to digital. If the mode source is
set to Remote or Discrete, the mode can only be changed using
the discrete input or the remote register. In Manual mode the
unit operates as a normal control valve, positioning the valve
according to its current command signal.
In Auto mode the unit will operate as a controller using the PID
settings, process variable, and control action currently defined
using a bumpless transfer algorithm. (Note that if the unit is
using an analog command source, the system will bump
because the 4-20 signal will change from indicating position
command to process setpoint.)
Test mode takes the unit off-line and the system DOES NOT
calculate pressures, temperatures, flow, or PID values; nor does
it support setpoints or any analog or digital commands. Test
mode is the beginning mode after an initialization and is used
during calibration. If power is lost during a calibration setup, the
unit will remain in Test mode and the mode will have to be reset.
If the unit is in Test mode, the letter “T” will flash on the right side
of the display.
Mode Source - This selects where the StarPac II unit will
receive the mode information. “Digital” indicates that the
keypad or the StarTalk software can be used to change the
mode. “Discrete” indicates that an external signal applied to
terminals 33 and 34 will be used to switch the unit between
Auto and Manual modes. The definition is fixed with an
energized state indicating Auto mode. Remote mode is used
when a host system such as a PLC or DCS is used to set the
mode via digital communications.
The difference between Remote and Digital is that if the
Setpoint/command is not refreshed within a given period, the
StarPac II will assume that the unit has lost communication with
the host and will go to a trip condition.
Setpoint - Provides four options used to change the setpoint and
configure the source of the setpoint.
Setpoint % - Allows the direct input of the controller setpoint as
a percentage of maximum, as setup with the process variable,
provided the unit is in the Auto mode with the digital setpoint
selected.
Setpoint User Units - Allows the direct input of the setpoint in
the configured engineering units, provided the unit is in Auto
mode with the digital setpoint selected.
Analog/Digital - This option selects where the StarPac II system
will receive the setpoint information.
“Digital” indicates that the keypad or the StarTalk software can
be used to change the setpoint.
“Analog” prompts the StarPac II to use the 4-20 mA signal from
analog input No. 1 as the controller setpoint.
“Remote” is used when a host system such as a PLC or DCS is
used to write the setpoint to the unit digitally.

Remote Refresh Rate - This option sets up a time-out on the
receipt of fresh setpoint data when set to operate with a remote
setpoint. If the setpoint is not refreshed within the time frame
entered in this field, the unit will go into a loss-of-command trip
as set up in the CONFIGURE menu. A value of “0” disables this
feature and makes the electronics think that the Mode source is
digital. Note that if the digital source is selected, the unit will
hold at the last setpoint indefinitely.
Command - Provides three options used to change the valve
position command and configure the source of the valve command.
Command % - Allows the direct input of the valve position
command as a percentage of valve travel. Zero percent is
closed and 100 percent is open--provided the unit is in Manual
mode with the digital command selected.
Analog/Digital - This option selects where the StarPac II system
will receive the valve position command information.
“Digital” indicates that the keypad or the StarTalk software can
be used to change the valve position command.
“Analog” prompts the StarPac II to use the 4-20 mA signal from
analog input No. 1 as the valve position command.
“Remote” is used when a host system such as a PLC or DCS is
used to write the valve position command to the unit digitally.
Remote Refresh Rate - This option sets up a “timeout” on the
receipt of fresh, valve-position command data when set to
operate with a remote command. If the valve position command
is not refreshed within the time frame entered in this field, the
unit will go into a loss of command trip (as set up in the
CONFIGURE menu). A value of “0” disables this feature. Note
that if the digital source is selected, the unit will hold at the last
valve position command indefinitely.
Proportional Band - Sets the proportional band for the controller.
Proportional Band = 100/gain or gain =100/prop. band. Since
proportional band is the inverse of gain, the larger the band value,
the smaller the controller gain.
Reset Rate - This is the integrator term in the PID controller,
referring to the action at which the rate of change of output is
proportional to the error input. “Reset” is the parameter that controls
how the integral control action affects the final control element. The
larger the value, the faster the system tries to eliminate the offset
error. Units are repeats/min.
Derivative Time - Sets the time on the derivative control action of
the PID controller. This time is the interval at which the rate action
advances the effect of the gain on the final control element. Units
are in seconds.
PID Action - This variable determines the response of the controller
to error. Reverse action will cause an air-to-open valve to begin to
close when the process variable is greater than the setpoint. Direct
action has the opposite effect. The following table gives some
guidelines for control action settings:

Process Variable Air-to-Open Valve Air-to-Close Valve
Flow Reverse Direct
Upstream Pressure Direct Reverse
Downstream Pressure Reverse Direct
Differential Pressure Direct Reverse
Process Temperature Depends on Depends on
installation installation
Auxiliary 4-20 input Depends on Depends on
installation installation
If the PID action is not set correctly, the controller will hold the valve
either full open or full closed and there will be no control.
Process Variable Select - Selects the process variable that will be
used to control the process.
Liquid Flow - Sets the system to control liquid flow. (If the flow
is gaseous, the system will read the liquid flow value as zero and
respond accordingly.)
ISA Up Stream Press - Sets the system to control using the
current compensated upstream line pressure. (Defined as two
pipe diameters upstream of the valve.)
ISA Dn Stream Press - Sets the system to control using the
current compensated downstream line pressure. (Defined as six
pipe diameters downstream of the valve.)
pressure definitions above.
Process Temperature - Sets the system to control the process
temperature.
Gas Flow - Sets the system to control gaseous flow (if the flow
is liquid, the system will read the gas flow value as zero and
respond accordingly).
Auxiliary 4-20 Input - Sets the system to use a 4-20 mA signal
attached to Analog Input 2 as the process variable.
Process Variable Scaling - This option sets the full scale process
value that the controller will use in the PID algorithm, using the units
that have been selected in the CONFIGURE menu (except for
Auxiliary, which is always in units of percent).
Reset Totalizer - Selecting this option resets the time and amount in
the flow totalizer to zero.
Calibration Menu
The CALIBRATE menu is used to calibrate the analog inputs and
outputs, process pressure and temperature sensors, as well as the
actuator position and pressure sensors. Before entering the
CALIBRATE menu, the display will indicate that the system will be
taken off-line and will ask the user to accept the condition.

WARNING: Taking the StarPac II unit off line may cause the
valve to stroke unexpectedly. Notify personnel working nearby
that the valve may stroke.
While the CALIBRATE menu is open, the system is in Test mode and
will not respond to control signals. To put the unit back on line you
must press the LAST OPTION key until the display prompts you, and
then press ACCEPT. While you are in the CALIBRATE menu, the
letter “T” will flash on the right side of the display, indicating that the
unit is in Test mode. The unit may also change the valve position
during some of the calibration processes that could affect the
process if it is not properly isolated. The CALIBRATE menu is
arranged as shown in Figure 5 below.

Analog Out No. 1 - This option is used to calibrate the first analog
output of the StarPac II device. During the calibration procedure, a
reference milliamp meter should be connected to terminals 9(-) and
10(+) of the terminal block. The display will give instructions to use
the F1 and F2 keys to adjust the signal until the reference meter
reads 4 mA. When the 4 mA value has been accepted, you will be
prompted to set the 20 mA value. If the CANCEL key is pressed at
any time, all of the calibration values are returned to their original
value. The number shown at the end of the second line indicates the
raw D/A value that the unit is outputting, which is only used for
reference during calibration. Configuration of the variable and scaling
for the channel is performed in the CONFIGURE menu.
Analog Out No. 2 - This option is used to calibrate the second
analog output of the StarPac II system. During the calibration
procedure a reference milliamp meter should be connected to
terminals 7(-) and 8(+) of the terminal block. The display will give
instructions to use the F1 and F2 keys to adjust the signal until the
reference meter reads 4 mA. When the 4 mA value has been
accepted, the user is then prompted to set the 20 mA value. If the
CANCEL key is pressed at any time, all of the calibration values will
be returned to their original value. The number shown at the end of
the second line indicates the raw D/A value that the unit is
outputting, which is only used for reference during calibration.
Configuration of the variable and scaling for the channel is
performed in the CONFIGURE menu.
Analog In No. 1 - This option is used to calibrate the first analog
input of the StarPac II. During the calibration, a reference milliamp

source should be connected to terminals 24(-) and 25(+) of the
terminal block. The display will give instructions to adjust the signal
until the reference meter reads 4 mA. When the 4 mA value has
been accepted, the user is then prompted to set the 20 mA value. If
the CANCEL key is pressed at any time, all of the calibration values
are returned to their original value. The number shown at the end of
the second line indicates the raw A/D value that the unit is receiving
and is only for reference during calibration. Configuration of the
variable and scaling for the channel is done in the TUNE menu.
Analog In No. 2 - This option is used to calibrate the second analog
input of the StarPac II system. During the calibration, a reference
milliamp source should be connected to terminals 22(-) and 23(+) of
the terminal block. The display will give instructions to adjust the
signal until the reference meter reads 4 mA. When the 4 mA value
has been accepted, you are then prompted to set the 20 mA value.
If the CANCEL key is pressed at any time, all of the calibration
values are returned to their original value. The number shown at the
end of the second line indicates the raw A/D value that the unit is
receiving and is only for reference during calibration. Configuration
of the variable and scaling for the channel is done in the CONFIGURE
menu.
Actuator - This option calibrates the actuator pressure sensors in
the unit. The process requires that the valve stroke from full open to
full closed. Because the valve will change position during this
process you must confirm that you want to proceed. You will then be
prompted for the instrument air supply pressure to the unit. If the air
supply varies by more than 1 psi during the calibration, the test may
abort. Hence, a regulator may be required if the air supply is not
stable. The unit will then complete the calibration process by
stroking the valve open and closed over 30 to 60 seconds. Upon
successful completion, the display will momentarily flash the
message “Calibration Successful”.
Stroke - This option calibrates the position feedback sensor in the
unit. The process requires that the valve stroke from full open to full
closed. Because the valve will change position during this process
you must confirm that you want to proceed. You will then be
prompted for the valve type; linear or rotary. If the air supply varies
by more than 1 psi during the calibration, the test may abort. Hence,
a regulator may be required if the air supply is not stable. The unit
will then complete the calibration process by stroking the valve open
and closed over one to five minutes. Upon successful completion of
the process, the system will momentarily flash the message
“Calibration Successful”.
WARNING: Notify personnel working nearby that the valve will
stoke during this procedure; otherwise, serious injury may
occur.
P1 and P2 - This option simultaneously calibrates the process

pressure sensors in the unit and is the recommended sensor
calibration method. Because it calibrates both sensors at the same
time, this procedure automatically moves the valve’s stroke to mid-
stroke. This calibration should always be done with the flow through
the valve blocked. If there is flow through the valve you must use

the individual calibration options. Because the valve will change
position during this process, you must confirm that you want to
proceed. You will then have three more menu options to set for
ZERO, SPAN and SENSOR GAIN.
Zero - Apply the atmospheric pressure or the minimum pressure
you want to use for your reference and press ACCEPT. The two
numbers on the right side of the display are register values that
indicate how steady the pressure is in the valve body. Next,
enter the actual pressure applied in the indicated engineering
units and press ACCEPT.
Span - Apply the maximum pressure you want to use for your
reference and press ACCEPT. The two numbers on the right
side of the display indicate how steady the pressure is in the
valve body. Next, enter the actual pressure applied in the
indicated engineering units and press ACCEPT.
Sensor Gain - This option configures the input amplifier range
for the installed sensors using the Up and Dn function keys.
Valtek’s standard sensors normally use the 39mV < out <
78mV selection. Normally, you should not have to change this
option. If you have questions, consult your Valtek
representative.
P1 - This option calibrates the upstream process pressure sensor in
the unit. You will then have two more menu options to set for Zero

Thermocouple - This option is used to calibrate the Type-K
thermocouple temperature sensor in the unit. You will then have two
more menu options to set for Zero and Span. Normally this
calibration is done using a temperature controlled bath or a Type-K

thermocouple simulator connected to terminals 5 (yellow) and 6
(red).
Zero - Apply a signal equal to the minimum temperature you
want to use for your reference and press ACCEPT. The number
on the right side of the display indicates how steady the
temperature input is reading. Next enter the actual temperature
Span - Apply a signal equal to the maximum temperature you
want to use for your reference and press ACCEPT. The number

Default Gain - This option sets the default gain for the
positioner. Select the correct actuator size from the list using the
NEXT and PREVIOUS function keys on the menu. Default
selections exist for 25, 50, 100, and 200 square-inch actuators.
Edit Gain - This option allows you to change the gains from the
default value to customize the response of the system.
Proportional Gain - Controls the overall speed of response
of the system. Larger values will speed up the response of
the system.
Static Gain - Controls the response to steps of less than two
percent. Larger values will speed up the response of the
system to small steps (the effect of static gain is more
evident on larger actuators).
Error Gain - This is a dynamic gain variable that increases
the gain with error size to speed the response in larger
actuators. Note that smaller values increase the gain.
Step Test - Allows you to monitor the response of the system to
any step size that you input after pressing the function key. (Be
aware that this operation will cause the valve to stroke.) The
system reports the overshoot and rise time (Tr) for each step.
Pressing ACCEPT will continue to stoke the system up and
down and report on the response for each step. To quit the
positioner tuning press CANCEL.
Open Loop- This test is a diagnostic test to check the
mechanical operation of the postioner module. During this test

the valve is forced to full open and full closed by driving the
positioner output to its maximum and minimum values.
WARNING: Notify personnel working nearby that the valve will
stroke during this procedure; otherwise, serious injury may
occur.
Configuration Menu
The CONFIGURE menu is used to set up the variables and scaling for
the analog inputs and outputs, actuator configuration, air supply and
trip limits, units, tagname, communications, LCD controls, and
individual register editing and viewing. Before entering the
CALIBRATE menu, the display will indicate that the system will be
taken off-line and ask you to accept that condition. While the
CONFIGURE menu is open, the system is in Test mode and will not
respond to control signals. To put the unit back on line, press the
LAST OPTION key until the display asks, “do you want to put the
unit back on line,” and press ACCEPT. When you are in the
CALIBRATE menu, a flashing “T” on the right side of the display will
indicate that the unit is in Test mode. Certain functions may cause
valve position to change unexpectedly that could affect the process if
the unit is not properly isolated. The CONFIGURE menu is arranged
as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7: Configuration Menu Tree
Analog Out 1 - This option configures the first analog output

channel. Select a variable from the list using the NEXT and
PREVIOUS function keys on the menu. You will then be asked for a
full scale output value in your selected user units. (This is the
process value that corresponds to 20 mA.) The last step is to enter
the offset or Zero output value in your selected user units. (This is
the process value that corresponds to 4 mA.) Available output
variables are:
Valve Position - Current valve position.
Liquid Flow - Current liquid flow rate.
pressure (defined as two pipe diameters upstream of the valve).

pressure (defined as six pipe diameters downstream of the
valve).
Process Temperature - Current process temperature.
Gas Flow - Current gaseous flow rate.
Auxiliary 4-20 Input - Re-transmits the 4-20 mA signal from
analog in No. 2.
Register Number - Allows the selection of any internal register
value as an output. If a string register is selected, zero will be
displayed in the data field.
Analog Out 2 - This option configures the second analog output
channel. Select a variable from the list using the NEXT and
PREVIOUS function keys on the menu. You will then be asked for a
full scale output value in your selected user units. (This is the
process value that corresponds to 20 mA.) The last step is to enter
the offset or zero output value in your selected user units. (This is
the process value that corresponds to 4 mA.) Available output
variables are:
valve).
analog in No. 2.
Analog Command - This option sets up the first analog input
(analog No. 1) in the StarPac II system. This analog channel is
reserved as a control input. The signal is used either as a valve
position command, if the StarPac II is in Manual mode, or as the
controller setpoint if the StarPac II is in Auto mode. (The source of
the command or setpoint is selected in the TUNE menu after it has
been configured here.) When this option is selected you are first
prompted for the interpretation of the analog signal. The signal can
be interpreted as Normal (4-20 mA = 0-100%), which means that 4
mA will indicate the 0 percent signal, or as Reverse (4-20 mA = 100-
0%), which then interprets 20 mA as the 0 percent signal.
Next, you are prompted for the hold time (in seconds) that you want
the system to hold the last command if the 4-20 mA signal should be
lost (defined as having the signal drop below 3 mA). The last prompt
requests a ramp rate that the system will use to fail the valve if the
signal has been lost and the hold time has expired. A negative value
will ramp the valve closed at the selected rate, and a positive value

will open the valve at the selected rate. (Note that this value may be
set different from the spring failure of the actuator.)
Analog In 2 - This option sets up the second analog input in the
StarPac II system. This input can be used as an external input that
is used with the internal PID controller, or as an external sensor input
for the StarPac II to use in its internal operation. If you wish to use
the input as a controller input, you must select the NOT
CONNECTED option since the scaling for the PID input is done in
the TUNE menu with the Process variable selection. If you want to
feed an external variable into the StarPac II, select the variable from
the list using the NEXT and PREVIOUS function keys on the menu.
Next, you will be asked for a full scale input value in your user-
defined units. (This is the process value that corresponds to the 100
percent signal.) The last step is to enter the offset or Zero input
value in your user-defined units. (This is the process value that
corresponds to the 0 percent signal). The available input variables
are:
Not Connected - Configures the StarPac II unit to ignore the
input as an internal variable, but the input may still be used as an
input to the controller that is configured with the process variable
selection in the TUNE menu.
Process Temperature - Uses the value from the Auxiliary input
channel as the process temperature for all internal calculations
in place of the StarPac II sensor. The electronics assumes that
the Auxiliary input channel gets its signal from a temperature
transmitter.
Up Stream Pressure - Uses the signal from an external
pressure transmitter connected to the Auxiliary input channel as
the process pressure for all internal calculations in place of the
StarPac II sensor.
Down Stream Pressure - Uses an external pressure input as
the process pressure for all internal calculations in place of the
StarPac II sensor.
Valve Delta Pressure - Uses an external pressure input as the
process differential pressure for all internal calculations (in place
of the StarPac II differential pressure calculated by the difference
from the StarPac II internal pressure sensors). The most
common example is when a separate differential pressure
transmitter is used for cases when the application cannot
withstand pressure drops of at least ten percent of inlet
pressure.
Molecular Weight - Uses an external molecular weight input for
all internal calculations in place of the static value stored in the
StarPac II configuration.
Specific Gravity - Uses an external Specific Gravity input for all
internal calculations in place of the static value stored in the
StarPac II configuration.
Liquid Fudge Factor - This input allows you to make dynamic
adjustments to the liquid flow calculation based on the value of
the input.
Gas Fudge Factor - This input allows you to make dynamic
adjustments to the gaseous flow calculation based on the value
of the input.

Air Action - Used to set up the StarPac II for the configured actuator
failure mode. ATO (Air-to-Open) is normally used for fail-closed
valves, ATC (Air-to-Close) is normally used for fail-open valves. If
ATC is selected and you will be using an analog command source,
configure the analog command to reverse so that 4 mA equals the
100 percent position (open). The following table lists the possible
configurations:
Failure Mode Output 2 Output 1 (top Spring Air

(bottom port) Is port) Is Failure Action
Connected to: Connected to: Position
Air loss, fail-closed: actuator top actuator bottom above ATO
Power loss, fail- piston
closed
Air loss, fail-closed; actuator bottom actuator top above ATC
Power loss, fail-open piston
Air loss, fail-open; actuator bottom actuator top below ATC
Power loss, fail-open piston
Air loss, fail-open; actuator top actuator bottom below ATO
Power loss, fail-close piston
Low Air - This option is used to set the trip parameters for low
supply air to the system, which is continuously monitoring the air
supply in the actuator. Using the actuator pressures, the StarPac II
can infer the supply pressure to within five to 10 psi. If the supply
pressure drops below the Low Air Trip Pressure then the positioner
will attempt to hold the valve for the time specified in the hold
parameter and then ramp to the spring failure position at the
specified Low Air Ramp Rate.
Softlimits - (Softlimits are stroke limits set and maintained by the
system’s electronics or software. These limits are only in effect
when the unit has power and is not in Test mode. When power has
failed or cut off to the StarPac II, the valve will fail to its mechanical
stops or limits.) This option allows you to set software limits on the
travel of the valve. These limits are active in Auto and Manual
modes, but they do not affect failure modes. Normally these limits
are set to -10 and 110 percent of travel so they do not affect valve
operation.
Units -The StarPac II system has individually configurable units for
Process Pressure, Liquid flow, Gas flow, Process temperature, and
actuator pressure. Units for each type of process variable are set in
the Unit menu. (See Figure 8)

appendix. (String registers cannot be viewed with this function;
however, they can be viewed by using the StarTalk software.)
Edit Register - This option allows you to view and change any
read/write integer or floating point Modbus register. A register
map is located in the appendix.
Caution: Changing register values will affect the operation of
the system. String registers cannot be edited with this function.
You must use the StarTalk software to Edit string registers.
Reset StarPac II - This option will reset the system’s operation
(the same as powering up the unit) and will also reset some
error conditions while displaying the firmware revision on the
display.
Save Backup - This option will backup the current configuration
to a safe area in the non-volatile RAM. Valtek suggests that you
use this option before attempting to reconfigure your system to
ensure that you can restore the configuration should something
go wrong.
Load Backup - This option allows you to restore a known
configuration to the system by working registers from the backup
NVRAM.
Load Default - This option will overwrite the complete register
map in the StarPac II with default data. If you choose this option
all of the flow characterization data, configuration data and
calibration data will be lost. This option should only be used in
the rare case that the configuration of a system has become so
corrupt that all of the data will be re-entered from scratch. It is

recommended that you use the StarTalk for windows software to
reload your system information from the factory supplied disk.
Data Logger - This option sets the interval between data points on
the internal data logger. NOTE: You must use StarTalk software to
download a data logger file from the StarPac II.
Time Set - This option sets the internal StarPac II clock. The
internal clock is battery driven and keeps time whether the unit is
powered or not. Use the F1 and F2 function keys to select the field
to edit. Note that the time is in the 24 hour format and the date is the
mm/dd/yy format.
Pulse Relay Output - Configures the Pulse Out channel on the
StarPac II system for the process variable and scaling. First you
must select a variable from the list using the Next and Previous
function keys on the menu. Next you are asked for a full scale
output value in your selected user units. (This is the process value
that corresponds to the maximum frequency.) The last step is to
enter the offset or zero output value in your selected user units (this
is the process value that corresponds to 0 Hz). Available output

Changing or Viewing the Fluid

Specification
The StarPac II system must be configured for the exact fluid that you
have in your process. The factory configures the system with fluid
data for your system using the information supplied with the order.
Verify that the fluid data is correct for your process. The StarPac
system requires the following fluid data for accurate flow calculation:
Antoine’s A coefficient register 70329
Antoine’s B coefficient register 70331
Antoine’s C coefficient register 70333
Critical Pressure in psia register 70341
Critical Temperature in ºR register 70343

FK coefficient (=K/1.4) register 70345
Molecular Weight register 70347
Specific Gravity Reference temp in ºR register 70349
Specific Gravity at reference temp register 70351
Viscosity A register 70541
Viscosity B register 70543
The Antoine coefficients are used to calculate the vapor
pressure of the fluid at the temperature measured by the K
thermocouple in the StarPac according to the following equation:
B
VP = exp( A − )
T +C
where VP is the vapor pressure in psia, T is the temperature in
°R, and A, B, and C are the Antoine coefficients.
Viscosity is calculated according to the following equation:

Visc = A * exp(B * T )
Where Visc is the fluid viscosity in centipoise, T is the process
temperature measured by the thermocouple in °F, and A and B
are the viscosity coefficients.
These registers can be checked using either the View option of the
STATUS menu or the View selection in the Tech option of the
CONFIGURE menu. They can be changed using the Edit selection in
the Tech option of the CONFIGURE menu.
Setting the Jumpers

The StarPac II system has several jumpers that are used to
configure the digital and discrete I/O. Two jumpers are on the
personality card (the small card in the lower right-hand side) and are
visible when the inner door is opened. The personality card must be
removed to change the discrete jumpers located on the board below
the personality card. To remove the personality card, remove the
four small screws that hold the card in place and gently remove it by
gripping the notch at the lower right-hand corner of the card.
RS- 485 Termination - On the personality card there are two
termination jumpers for the COMM A and B for the RS-485
communications. These jumpers should only be installed on the two
most remote devices on the network. Count the host computer as
any other device. For example, a single StarPac II system is
communicating with a host PC in the control room. The StarPac II
unit and the RS-485 driver in the host computer would each require
a termination jumper. Remove the termination jumpers in the
devices not considered to be the most remote. Using more than two
termination jumpers in a network may cause the RS-485
communications to fail.
Alarm Relay Setting - Under the personality card is a three position
jumper labeled “Relay.” This jumper, if set in the A-B position,
configures the relay to Normally-open operation. If set to the B-C

position, the jumper configures the relay to Normally-closed
operation.
Discrete Input Range Selection - Under the personality card are
two sets of three position jumpers labeled “DI1” and “DI2.” DI1
refers to discrete input No. 1 and DI2 to discrete input No. 2. In the
A-B position the input is set to trigger on 120V AC or DC. In the B-C
position the input is set to trigger on 24V AC or DC. These jumpers
must be moved in pairs for each individual relay, but each relay may
be setup differently.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with your system, check the following list
for some common solutions.
LCD blank and no system response - Check 24 VDC supply
polarity and capacity (>300 mA).
LCD Hard to view - In the CONFIGURE menu adjust the contrast
for a better viewing angle.
LCD active, unit will not respond to position or control
commands, and the analog outputs do not change - Check
to see if the unit is in Test mode by looking for a flashing “T” on
the right side of the display. The unit will be in Test mode any
time you are in the CALIBRATE or CONFIGURE menu. If you are in
the CALIBRATE or CONFIGURE menu, use the LAST OPTION key
to move up to the top of the menu and exit from Test mode. If
that does not clear the flashing “T” from the display, go to the
TUNE menu and use the mode command to put the system in
Auto or Manual mode. If the system displays a flashing “E” or
“A” on the left side of the display, check the cause of the error or
alarm using the ERR/ALRM option in the STATUS menu. If the
Alarm is a trip condition, then you can view the cause of the trip
by setting the ROW1 variable to show Mode/Status in the
STATUS menu.
System will not respond to discrete commands - Check
jumper selection to make sure the input is set to the proper
range and that the system is not in Test mode.
Pressure sensors appear to saturate prematurely - Check the
rating of the sensors in the system information option of the
STATUS menu to verify the rating (the rating is also etched on the
sensor). Check the sensor gain (set in the CALIBRATE menu) in
the P1 & P2 option (the standard range is 39 mV < out < 78
mV).
Stroke calibration aborts or hangs - Check the air supply and
make sure it is stable. A regulator may be required to stabilize
the air supply in some systems.

This reference will aid you in understanding the configuration of the StarPac ll register table. Registers are
described and notes are provided that give the range and more detailed information.
The StarPac ll register table consists of three different types of information: integers, IEEE floating point
numbers and strings. These types can have a read only (RO) access attribute or a read/write (RW) access
attribute. You can only read RO registers. Writing to a RO register will generate an exception error. You
can both read and write to RW registers.
The register numbering is as follows: a 30000 base indicates RO integers, a 40000 base indicates RW
integers, a 70000 base indicates floating point numbers, and a 50000 base indicates strings. For example,
a register number of 30003 indicates a RO integer.
Two contiguous integer registers make up a floating point register. You will get an exception response if
you try to access into the middle of a floating point register.
Registers making up bit fields follow the MSB/LSB (Most Significant Byte/Least Significant Byte) format.
Internally, Valtek calculates the StarPac ll variable numbers by taking the module of the register number
and 10,000 and subtracting 1. For example, register number 30001 would become variable number 0.

String Registers
The register numbers in this table are not consecutive because of the varying length of each string in this
area of StarPac memory. Most of these strings are available as RW strings; however, we suggest that you
only write to 50617 (TAGNAME) and 50625 (Real time and date) and leave the others as they are because
that information is factory set.
Trying to access the middle of a string will result in an exception response from the device.

StarPac Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines
This guideline will help you in achieving maximum noise rejection and
performance with a StarPac Intelligent Control System. This guide must
NOT be used to supersede local electrical code or plant safety wiring
practices.
Shielding Versus Grounding
All signals to the StarPac system should be in shielded cables. Shields
must be tied to a ground at only one end of the cable to provide a place
for environmental electrical noise to be removed from the cable. A
ground wire, unlike a shield, is attached at both ends to provide a
continuous path for electrical conductivity.
Grounding Screw
The grounding screw by the user interface terminal block should be
used to provide the unit with an adequate and reliable earth ground
reference. Either one of the mounting screws holding the terminal block
may be used as a grounding screw. This ground should be tied to the
same ground as the electrical conduit. Additionally, the electrical
conduit connecting to the StarPac unit should be earth grounded at both
ends of its run. The StarPac II grounding screw should not be used to
terminate any signal shield wires.
24 VDC Power
The 24 VDC connection points will work best with shielded twisted pair
wire with the shield wire connected only at the source. The input power
is isolated within the StarPac II system and may be referenced to
whatever level is necessary. For best performance the 24 VDC power
supply should not be connected to earth ground.
RS-485 Communication
RS-485 wiring requires shielded twisted pair wire. Maximum
performance will be attained when using cable with a characteristic
impedance of 120 ohms. The shield should be connected only at the
source, not in the StarPac unit. The StarPac II internal system ground
is isolated and not earth ground referenced. The RS-485 port can float
to whatever common mode voltage appears at its input terminals.
These signals are referenced to the StarPac internal system ground,
and because of this it is the main fault path when one of the isolation
points fail. For this reason special care must be taken to ensure that
the RS-485 cable is wired correctly. The RS-485 allows only a -7 to
12V common mode voltage differential between stations. This means
that an RS-485 network connected to multiple devices must not have
more than one grounding point. Valtek's RS-232/RS-485 converter is
not a grounded connection, it is fully isolated and is not a ground point.
However, PC's with internal RS-485 cards are often earth grounded and
if another communication device is on the network that also has an
earth ground, a fault condition will almost certainly exist due to transient
and steady state differences in ground potential.

4-20 mA Command Input, Auxiliary Input, and Feedback Output
These signals are isolated but shielded twisted pair wire should be used
to reduce crosstalk from other signals. Again, the shield should be
connected only at the source.
Discrete Inputs and Outputs
These signals are isolated, yet because they are frequently used to
switch high voltage (120 VAC), they should be run in separate shielded
wire paths away from the other StarPac signals.
AIB and RS-232 to RS-485 Converter Connection
When connecting a StarPac system to an AIB or RS-232 to RS-485
converter, no shield or ground connections exist, the 24 VDC power
and RS-485 communication shield drain wires must be connected to a
convenient ground near the AIB or converter--no other grounding is
needed.
