GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model CSSG is a full featured single loop PID controller designed for
use with the Modular Controller Series. The module accepts low level signals
from a variety of bridge-type transducers, such as load cells, pressure
transducers, torque transducers, etc. An optional second signal input is available,
providing math capabilities between the two input channels (average, differential,
etc.). Each input channel provides a software selectable 5 V or 10 V stable
bridge excitation voltage, capable of driving up to four 350
 bridges (combined
total per module). The inputs are software selectable for ±20 mV, ±33 mV, or
±200 mV full scale. With solid state or relay outputs, plus an analog output, the
CSSG module can perform virtually any combination of time-proportioning or
linear control. The discrete outputs may also be assigned to one of seven internal
soft alarms; and the linear output can be assigned to transmit virtually any
internal variable. In addition, digital tare (re-zero), batch totalizer, and peak/
valley (max/min) are provided.
The modules connect and communicate via a backplane connection to the
CSMSTR Master module. The Master, equipped with serial ports as well as an
Ethernet port, allows the system to share data with PCs, PLCs, and SCADA
systems. The Master supports up to 16 CS Series modules (when using CSSG
modules, refer to “Power” specifications).
The CSSG modules are available with relays, or open drain MOSFET
outputs. For applications requiring large loads to be controlled, several DIN rail
mount relays are available.
The modules can operate in On/Off, P, PI, or PID control mode, and use an
on-demand Auto-Tune that establishes the tuning constants. The PID constants
may be fine-tuned through the serial or Ethernet interface. The modules employ
a unique overshoot suppression feature, which allows the quickest response
without excessive overshoot. The modules can also be operated in manual mode,
providing the operator with direct control of the output.
Internal power management circuits allow the modules to be replaced while
power is applied, which reduces downtime in the event of a relay failure. All
configuration information is stored locally within each module, as well as in the
Master, so replacement modules do not need to be configured.
The Modular Controller Series’ high density packaging and DIN rail
mounting saves time and panel space. The backplane connection provides power
and communication to the module and snaps easily onto standard top hat (T)
profile DIN rail.
CONFIGURATION
The Modular Controller Series is configured with Windows ® compatible
Crimson ® software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which
provides a means of configuration and commissioning of new systems, as well
as routine module re-calibration.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.
