1.2 Configuration/Programming Methods:
The 53MC5000 Process Control Station can be programmed in 3 different ways:
1.2.1 FCS –Flexible Control Strategies:
FCS is a library of math, logic and process control function blocks or modules that can be
soft-wired together to form complete control strategies. For most process control
applications, the 53MC5000 Controller can be placed in service immediately without any
programming using one of the pre-wired commonly used control strategies. The standard
pre-wired FCS control strategies include:
1. One loop controller
2. Analog back-up controller
3. Ratio Controller
4. Auto/Manual Station
5. Ratio Auto/Manual Station
6. Two loop Controller
7. Two loop cascade
8. Two loop override
9. Dual two loop cascade
10. Four loop controller
The user can alter the selected Flexible Control Strategy to suit their specific control
needs, or use the available function blocks to create a new strategy.
FCS can be configured from:
• Controller front face using the faceplate buttons
• Hand-held Configuration Terminal
• MicroTools Application Software
