• The terminal block of this instrument is designed to be wired from the left side.
The lead wire must be inserted from the left side of the terminal, and fastened with the
terminal screw (M3).
• Tighten the terminal screw (M3) using the specified torque.
If excessive force is applied to the screw when tightening, the screw (M3) or case may
be damaged.
• Do not apply a commercial power source to the sensor which is connected to the input
terminal nor allow the power source to come into contact with the sensor, as the input
circuit may be burnt out.
• This controller has no built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse. It is necessary to
install a power switch, circuit breaker or fuse near the controller.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, Rated voltage 250V AC, Rated current 2A)
• For a 24V AC/DC power source, do not confuse polarity when using direct current (DC).
3.Operation and maintenance precautions

Warning
• It is recommended to perform auto-tuning during trial run.
• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause electric shock or problems in operation.
• Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF before retightening the terminal.
Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result in severe
injury or death due to electric shock.
• Be sure to turn the power to the PCD-33A OFF before cleaning.
• Use a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the instrument.
(Alcohol based substances may tarnish or deface the unit.)
• As the display section is vulnerable, do not strike or scratch it with a hard object or put

7.6 Correcting PV (Sensor correction function)

[Sensor correction function]
This corrects the input value from the sensor. When a sensor cannot be set at the
exact location where control is desired, the sensor measured temperature may deviate
from the temperature in the controlled location.
When controlling with plural controllers, sometimes the measured temperatures (input
values) do not concur due to differences in sensor accuracy or dispersion of load
capacities. In such a case, the control can be set at the desired temperature by
adjusting the input value of the sensors. However, it is effective within the input rated
range regardless of the sensor correction value.
PV after sensor correction = Current PV + (Sensor correction value)

7.7 Auto-tuning (AT)

In order to set each value of P, I, D and ARW automatically, the auto-tuning process
should be made to fluctuate.
For DC input, the AT process will fluctuate around the SV (desired value) for conditions
of (A), (B) and (C) on page 43.
Notice
• Perform the auto-tuning during the trial run.
• During the auto-tuning, none of the setting items can be set.
• If auto-tuning is performed, auto-tuning starts at the same time as performance,
and step time and time signal time do not progress until the auto-tuning ends.
After the auto-tuning ends, the remaining step time is performed.
• If power failure occurs during the auto-tuning, the tuning stops.
• Sometimes the auto-tuning process will not fluctuate if auto-tuning is performed
at or near room temperature. Therefore auto-tuning might not finish normally.

• If auto-tuning is cancelled during the process, P, I, D, ARW values return to
the value set before the auto-tuning was performed.

8. Control and Alarm action

8.1 P, I, D, ARW action
(1) Proportional band (P)
Proportional action is the action which the control output (OUT) varies in proportion to
the deviation between the SV (desired value) and the PV (processing temperature).
If the proportional band is narrowed, even if the output changes by a slight variation
of the processing temperature, better control results can be obtained as the offset
decreases.
However, if the proportional band is narrowed too much, even slight disturbances
may cause variation in the processing temperature, control action changes to
ON/OFF control and the so-called hunting phenomenon occurs.
Therefore, when the processing temperature comes to the balanced position near
the SV and a constant temperature is maintained, the most suitable value is selected
by gradually narrowing the proportional band while observing the control results.
(2) Integral time (I)

Integral action is used to eliminate offset. When the integral time is shortened, the
returning speed to the SV (desired value) is accelerated. However, the cycle of
oscillation is also accelerated and the control becomes unstable.
45
(3) Derivative time (D)
Derivative action is used to restore the change in the processing temperature (PV)
according to the rate-of-change. It reduces the amplitude of overshoot and undershoot
width.
If the derivative time is shortened, the restoring value becomes smaller, and if the
derivative time is extended longer, an excessive returning phenomenon may occur
and the control system may oscillate.
(4) ARW (Anti-reset windup)

ARW (Anti-reset windup) prevents overshoot caused by the integral action. The smaller
the ARW value, the less the overshoot caused by the integral action in the transition
status, however stabilization will take some time.
When setting ARW manually, set it to the closest MV (manipulated variable) when the
control is stabilized.

13. Program pattern graphing
Before setting the program, graph a program pattern and data table.
Copy the program pattern table, and follow the procedures below.
(1) Write down the program pattern number.
(2) From Step 1, write down the step SV and step time of each step in sequence.
(3) Write down Alarm 1 (A1) and Alarm 2 (A2) values and Time signal output time.
(4) Write down the P, I, D, ARW and proportional cycle values.
(5) Write down the Wait value and Wait function Used/Not used of each step.
(6) Draw a line graph of the step SV.
Explanation of the program pattern table
Program pattern table consists of Y axis which represents the step SV ( or ),
and X axis which represents the step time (Hour:Min or Min:Sec).
In this context, Step SV is considered to be the value at the end of the step, and
step time is considered to be the step processing time.
The relation between the step SV and step time can be explained as follows.
Step 1: The control is performed so that the temperature reaches 500 in 30 minutes
(0:30). (*1)
Step 2: The control is performed at 500 for 1 hour (1:00).
(*1) When the control starts, SV differs depending on the program control start type.
If the SV start is selected during the Program control start type selection, the control
starts from SV. If the PV start is selected during the Program control start type selection,
the SV is advanced to the PV and the control starts.
