Temperature Sensor
The Temperature Sensor consistsof an element protected with apipe. Locate the element, whichconverts temperatures into electricsignals, in places wheretemperature control is required.
Electronic Temperature Controller
The Electronic Temperature Controlleris a product that receives electric signalinput from the temperature sensor,compares the electric signal input withthe set point, and outputs adjustmentsignals to the Controller.
Controller
The Controller is used to heat up orcool down furnaces and tubs using adevice, such as a solenoid or fuel valve,to switch electric currents supplied toheaters or coolers.
Temperature ControlThe set point is input into the Tempera-ture Controller in order to operate theTemperature Controller. The timerequired for stable temperature controlvaries with the controlled object. Attempt-ing to shorten the response time willusually result in the overshooting orhunting of temperature. When reduce theovershooting or hunting of temperature,the response time must not be short-ened. There are applications that requireprompt, stable control in the waveformshown in (1) despite overshooting. Thereare other applications that require thesuppression of overshooting in thewaveform shown in (3) despite the longtime required to stabilize temperature. Inother words, the type of temperaturecontrol varies with the application andpurpose. The waveform shown in (2) isusually considered to be the best one forstandard applications.

Characteristics of the Controlled ObjectBefore selecting the Temperature Controller and Temperature Sensor models, it is necessary to understand the thermal characteristics of thecontrolled object for proper temperature control.
Characteristics ofcontrolled object
Heat capacity
Staticcharacteristics
Dynamiccharacteristics
Externaldisturbances
Heat capacity, which indicates the degree of ease ofheating, varies with the capacity of the furnace.
Static characteristics, which indicate the capability ofheating, vary with the capacity of the heater.
Dynamic characteristics, which indicate the startupcharacteristics (i.e., excessive response) of heating, varywith the capacities of the heater and furnace that affecteach other in a complex way.
External disturbances are causes of temperaturechange. For example, the opening or closing of the doorof a constant temperature oven will be a cause ofexternal disturbance thus creating a temperaturechange.
J ON/OFF CONTROLACTION
This is the simplest form of electroniccontrol, usually used in the least expen-sive controllers. As shown in the graphbelow, if the process value is lower thanthe set point, the output will be turnedON and power will be supplied to theheater. If the process value is higher thanthe set point, the output will be turnedOFF with power to the heater shut off.This control method is called ON/OFFcontrol action, in which the output isturned ON and OFF on the basis of theset point to keep the temperatureconstant. In this operation, the tempera-ture is controlled with two values (i.e.,0% and 100% of the set point). There-fore, the operation is also called two-position control action.

J P ACTION
For more stable control, it is necessary toslow down the rate of temperature risewhen approaching the set point in orderto avoid overshoot. By modifying theON/OFF switching pattern, the peaksand troughs are smoothed out, thusmaintaining a stable temperature. Paction (or proportional control action) isused for obtaining the output in propor-tion to the input.
The Temperature Controller in P actionhas a proportional band with the set pointin the proportional band. The controloutput varies in proportion to the devi-ation in the proportional band. In normaloperation, a 100% control output will beON if the process value is lower than theproportional band. The control output willbe decreased gradually in proportion tothe deviation if the process value iswithin the proportional band, and a 50%control output will be ON if the set pointcoincides with the process value (i.e.,there is no deviation). This means Paction ensures smooth control withminimal hunting compared with theON/OFF control action.

Example:
If a Temperature Controller with a tem-perature range of 0 to 400C has a 5%proportional band, the width of the pro-portional band will be converted into atemperature range of 20C. In this case,provided that the set point is 100C, a fulloutput is kept turned ON until the pro-cess value reaches 90C, and the outputis OFF periodically when the processvalue exceeds 90C. When the processvalue is 100C, there will be no differ-ence in time between the ON period andthe OFF period (i.e., the output is turnedON and OFF with the same interval).

J I ACTION
I action (integral control action or reset)helps to achieve control at the set pointand is used for obtaining the output inproportion to the time integral value ofthe input.
P action causes an offset. Therefore, ifproportional control action and integralcontrol action are used in combination,the offset will be reduced as the timegoes by until finally the control tempera-ture will coincide with the set point andthe offset will cease to exist.

J D ACTION
D action (derivative or rate control action)is used for obtaining the output in propor-tion to the time derivative value of theinput. It provides a sudden shift in outputlevel as a result of a rapid change in ac-tual temperature.
Proportional control action corrects theresult of control and so does integralcontrol action. Therefore, proportionalcontrol action and integral control actionrespond slowly to temperature change,which is why derivative control action isrequired. Derivative control action cor-rects the result of control by adding thecontrol output in proportion to the slopeof temperature change. A large quantityof control output is added for a radicalexternal disturbance so that the tempera-ture can be quickly in control.

J PID CONTROL
PID control is a combination of propor-tional, integral, and derivative controlactions, in which the temperature iscontrolled smoothly by proportionalcontrol action without hunting, automaticoffset adjustment is made by integralcontrol action, and quick response to anexternal disturbance is made possible byderivative control action.
PIDcontrol
J ADVANCED PIDCONTROL
Conventional PID control uses a singlecontrol block to control the responses ofthe Temperature Controller to a targetvalue and external disturbances. There-fore, the response to the target value willoscillate due to overshooting if impor-tance is attached to the response to ex-ternal disturbances with the P and I pa-rameters set to small values and the Dparameter set to a large value in the con-trol block. On the other hand, if impor-tance is attached to the response to thetarget value (i.e., the P and I parametersare set to large values), the TemperatureController will not be able to respond toexternal disturbances quickly. It will beimpossible to satisfy both the types ofresponses in this case.Advanced PID control eliminates thisweakness while retaining the strengths ofPID control, thus making it possible toimprove both types of responses.
PID Control
Response to the target value will becomeslow if response to the external distur-bance is improved.
Response to the external disturbance willbecome slow if response to the target val-ue is improved.

J PID WITH FUZZY CONTROL
By adding fuzzy control to PID control,further improvement in response to externaldisturbances is possible. PID and fuzzycontrol usually operate as PID control. Ifthere is external disturbance, fuzzy controlwill operate in combination with PID control.
OMRONs fuzzy control estimates tempera-ture change from the difference betweenthe deviation (i.e., the difference betweenthe set point and process value) anddeviation change rate, and then makes thedelicate adjustment of the control output.

ControlJ ANTI-RESET WINDUP
(ARW) FUNCTION
ARW stands for anti-reset windup. Thisfeature reduces or eliminates excessiveReset (Integral action) error created inresponse to the steep rise to the initialtemperature set point. There is usually alarge deviation (i.e., a large differencebetween the process value and set point)when the Temperature Controller startsoperating. Integral control action in PIDcontrol is repeated until the temperaturereaches the set point. As a result, anexcessive integral output causingovershooting is output. To prevent this,the ARW function sets a limit to restrictthe output rise in integral control action.In normal control operation, the integraloutput is eliminated until the processvalue reaches the proportional band.

J FUZZY SELF-TUNINGPID constants must be determinedaccording to the controlled object forproper temperature control. The conven-tional Temperature Controller incorpo-rates an auto-tuning function to calculatePID constants, in which case, it will benecessary to give instructions to theTemperature Controller to trigger theauto-tuning function. Furthermore, if thelimit cycle method is adopted, tempera-ture disturbance may result. The Temper-ature Controller in fuzzy self-tuningoperation determines the start of tuningand ensures smooth tuning withoutdisturbing temperature control. In otherwords, the fuzzy self-tuning functionmakes it possible to adjust PID constantsaccording to the characteristics of thecontrolled object.
Fuzzy Self-tuning in 3 Modes
PID constants are calculated by tuningat the time of change in the set point.
When an external disturbance affectsthe process value, the PID constantswill be adjusted and kept in a specifiedrange.
If hunting results, the PID constants willbe adjusted to suppress the hunting.

J HUNTING AND OVERSHOOTINGON/OFF control action often involves thewaveform shown in the following graph.A temperature rise in excess of the setpoint after temperature control starts iscalled overshooting. Temperature oscilla-tion near the set point is called hunting.Improved temperature control is to beexpected if the degrees of overshootingand hunting are low.

J HYSTERESIS
ON/OFF control action turns the outputON or OFF on the basis of the set point.This means the output frequentlychanges according to minute tempera-ture changes, which shortens the life ofthe output relay or unfavorably affectssome devices connected to the Tempera-ture Controller. Therefore, a temperatureband is created between the ON andOFF operations. This band is called hys-teresis.
HysteresisD: Hysteresis
Temperature
Controloutput
Example:
If the Temperature Controller with atemperature range of 0C to 400C has a0.2% hysteresis, D will be 0.8C.Therefore if the set point is 100C, theoutput will turn OFF at a process value of100C and will turn ON at a processvalue of 99.2C.
J INTEGRAL TIMEIntegral time is the period required for astep-type deviation in integral control(e.g., the deviation shown in the followinggraph) to coincide with the control outputin proportional control action. The shorterthe integral time is, the stronger the inte-gral control action is. If the integral timeis too short, however, hunting may result.

J OFFSETProportional control action causes anerror in the process value due to the heatcapacity of the controlled object and thecapacity of the heater, which results in asmall discrepancy between the processvalue and set point in stable operation.This error is called offset.

J TUNING PID PARAMETERSAll PID process/temperature controllersrequire the adjustment of the P, I, D andother parameters in order to allowaccurate control of the load. If thecontroller is not tuned, then it cannotcontrol the temperature or processvariable of that load with any accuracy.There have been a variety of conven-tional methods suggested and imple-mented to obtain PID constants: Thestep response, marginal sensitivity, andlimit cycle methods. In general, the P, Iand D parameters are tuned eithermanually or via an auto-tuning technique.Auto-tuning methods make it possible toobtain PID constants suitable to a varietyof objects.
Manual Tuning

The LBA (loop burnout alarm) is a functionto turn the alarm signal ON by assuming
the occurrence of control loop failure ifthere is no input change with the controloutput set to the highest or lowest value.
Therefore, this function can be used to de-tect control loop errors.
J STANDBY SEQUENCE ALARMIt may be difficult to keep the processvalue outside the specified alarm rangein some cases (e.g., when starting up theTemperature Controller) and as a resultthe alarm turns ON abruptly. This can beprevented with the standby sequentialfunction of the Temperature Controller.This function makes it possible to ignorethe process value right after the Temper-ature Controller is turned on or right afterthe Temperature Controller starts tem-perature control. In this case, the alarmwill turn ON if the process value entersthe alarm range after the process valuehas been once stabilized.

J COLD JUNCTION EFFECTThermocouples only give an accuratereading if the cold end of the device,which is connected to the terminals on acontroller, is maintained at 0C. Sincethis is not practical in industrial applica-tions, controllers are calibrated at areference temperature, usually 20C to25C, and an allowance made for thecold junction error. A sensor (usually asemiconductor) built into the controller,then monitors any changes in this coldjunction, and the controller automaticallycompensates for these changes (this iscalled cold junction compensation). Forthis reason, thermocouple leads shouldalways be connected directly to the
controller terminals. If the leads are tooshort, they may be lengthened by theuse of special compensating cable orthermocouple extension wire thatmatches the thermocouple type.

J THERMISTORSThese are temperature sensitive semi-conductors, usually encased in a glassbead. For industrial applications, thiswould be housed in a stainless steel tubein common with the other forms of sen-sors described here.
Their main advantage lies in the largechange of resistance with temperaturecompared with other forms of RTD, andof course there is no cold junction effect.
The main disadvantage of thermistors isthat the characteristic is particularly non-
linear, making them a reasonable choiceonly where they are required for controlover a very limited temperature band; forexample, the control of photographicchemical solution temperatures.
J THERMOCOUPLEA thermocouple consists of two differentmetal wires with the ends connectedtogether. When this assembly is heated,a very small voltage, which isproportional to the temperature, appears
at the unheated ends of the wires, and isthe signal used by the controller todetermine the actual temperature. Themost commonly used thermocouples are
Iron/Constantan construction (known asType J) and Nickel-chromium/Nickel-aluminum construction (known asType K).

DeviceNett Overview
J WHAT IS THE DEVICENET?DeviceNet is a low-cost communicationslink to connect industrial devices to a net-work and eliminate expensive hardwiring.Typical devices include limit switches,photoelectric sensors, valve manifolds,motor starters, process sensors, barcode readers, variable frequency drives,panel displays and operator interfaces.
The direct connectivity provides im-proved communication between devicesas well as important device-level diag-nostics not easily accessible or availablethrough hardwired I/O interfaces.
DeviceNet is a simple, networkingsolution that reduces the cost and time towire and install industrial automationdevices, while providing interchangeabil-ity of like components from multiplevendors.

J DEVICENET PHYSICAL LAYER AND MEDIAChapter 9, Volume 1 in the DeviceNetSpecifications defines the allowable to-pologies and components. The variety oftopologies that are possible are shown inthe figure below. The specification alsodeals with system grounding, mixingthick and thin media, termination, andpower distribution.
The basic trunk line-drop line topologyprovides separate twisted pair busses for
both signal and power distribution. Thickor thin cable can be used for either trunklines or drop lines. End-to-end networkdistance varies with data rate and cablesize.
Devices can be powered directly fromthe bus and communicate with each oth-er using the same cable. Nodes can beremoved or inserted from the networkwithout powering-down the network.
Power taps can be added at any point inthe network which makes redundantpower supplies possible. The trunk linecurrent rating is 8 amps. An opto-isolateddesign option allows externally powereddevices (e.g., AS drives starters and so-lenoid valves) to share the same buscable. Other CAN-based networks allowonly a single power supply (if at all) forthe entire network.

Control Period and Manipulated VariableAll time proportional controls have a control period or a similarly named parameter. The parameter, regardless of its name, behaves thesame way in each control
A control period (CP) is the maximum amount of time that the output is on. The CP is defined by the controllers algorithm. Long CPswork better for slower processes, e.g., a temperature change of one degree or less per minute. Shorter CPs work better for faster rates of
change such as several degrees per second.
The Manipulated Variable (MV) also control the output within the limits of the CP. The MV is sometimes referred to by other names bysome manufacturers. These names include control output, percentage output, and manipulated output. The MV is the percentage of out-put power that the algorithm uses to control the output. For example, if the algorithm specifies a CP of 20 seconds and an MV of 50%, the
output will be on for a total of 10 seconds (see illustration below). Note that the output would not be ON for 10 consecutive seconds.
CP = 20 (Omron default) MV = 50%
What would happen in an ideal situation is that the output would trigger ON and OFF throughout the entire 20 seconds, so that at the endof the 20 seconds, the TOTAL TIME ON would be 10 seconds.
Changing the MV would change the TOTAL TIME ON. For example, with the same CP of 20 and an MV of 75%, the TOTAL TIME ONwould be 15 seconds. As in the previous example, the output would not be on for 15 consecutive seconds.
A 5-second control period allows the MV to have the shortest possible ON time. One percent of 5 seconds is 0.05 seconds or 50 ms.
Therefore, 50 ms is the minimum ON time.
Different types of processes require different CPs. If you are controlling a slow-moving process, a long CP allows time for the process toreact to the controllers output signal. However, for a faster moving process, if the output stays on too long, the process variable (e.g.
temperature) exceeds the set point. The controller would then try to readjust itself by shutting off the output, but because the CP is toolarge, the output stays off too long and the PV undershoots the set point. The only way to correct this type of hunting is to shorten the CPof the controller.

Manual Tuning of PID Values
When PID values should be adjusted manually, refer to the following:
J PID (P) CONTROL ACTION
Offset occurs when the proportional band is large, but the possibility of
overshooting is less likely. On the contrary, when the proportional band issmall, overshooting occurs and the control waveform becomes an ON/OFFcontrol (the occurrence of hunting).
Tuning adjustment:
D Generally, the proportional band should be adjusted from a larger tosmaller value.
D When there is gentle hunting, the hunting can be made smaller bymaking the proportional band wider.
J DERIVATIVE (D) ACTION
Derivative action obtains the original control status as soon as possible bygiving a large quantity of the manipulated variable for rapid external
disturbance. When a longer derivative time is set, the control is disturbed sincethe large quantity of the manipulated variable is continuously working. (Usuallyhunting occurs in shorter periods than the hunting caused by inappropriate
proportional band and integral time.)
Tuning adjustment:
D Generally, derivative time should be adjusted from a shorter to longer time.
D When hunting occurs in a short period, early response of the controlsystem and too strong derivative action are suspected. Shorten the
derivative time.
J INTEGRAL (I) ACTION
Integral action is performed to diminish the offset caused by proportional control
in proportion to the elapsed time. When too short of an integral time is set to
eliminate offset, integral action becomes stronger and it may cause hunting.
Tuning adjustment:
D Generally, integral time should be adjusted from a longer to shorter time.
D When there is gentle hunting or repetition of overshooting, too strong of anintegral action is suspected in many cases. Hunting can become smaller ifa longer time is set. (It is also possible to make integral action weaker by
making the proportional band wider.)

GlossaryAdaptive TuningUsed to continuously monitor and
optimize PID constants while the
controller operates. Three tuningalgorithms are used to recalculate thePID constants within 500 ms after the
process value stabilizes at set point:Step-response method, disturbance
tuning and hunting tuning
Anti-reset Wind-up (ARW)A feature of PID controllers that prevents
the integral (auto-reset) circuit fromoperating when the temperature isoutside the proportional band.
Alpha ()This represents the temperature
coefficient of the change in electrical
resistance of a material. For each C intemperature the electrical resistancechanges. It is the defining parameter for
platinum resistance temperaturedetectors (RTD sensors). The unit of
measure is ohms/ohms/C.AnalogData collected and represented bycontinuously variable quantities, such as
voltage measurement or temperaturevariation.
Analog OutputA continuously variable signal that is
used to represent a value, such as theprocess value or set point value. Typical
ranges include 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 20 mA, 1to 5 VDC, and 0 to 5 VDC.
Auto-tuningThis feature automatically calculates
then resets the PID values based ontemperature control performance over a
sampled period. In some of Omronscontrollers, auto-tuning also optimizes
the settings for fuzzy logic control values.

junction of a thermocouple so itmaintains a reference to 0C.Contact OutputRelay control outputs are often availablein these contact forms:
Form A Contact (SPST-NO)
Single-pole, single-throw relays use thenormally open and common contacts toswitch power. The contacts close when
the relay coil is energized and openwhen power is removed from the coil.
Form B Contact (SPST-NC)Single-pole, single-throw relays use the
normally closed and common contacts.These contacts open when the relay coil
is energized and close when power is
removed from the coil.
Form C Contact (SPDT)Single-pole, double-throw relays use the
normally open, normally closed andcommon contacts. The relay can bewired as a Form A or Form B contact.
Control ActionThe control output response relative tothe difference between the process

cooling), as the process increases abovethe set point, the output increases.
Control ModeThe type of control action used by the
controller can include ON/OFF,time-proportioning, PD, and PID. Other
combinations and refinements are used.
