STANDARD DE-3000 SYSTEM
The DE-3000 Congurable Safety Shutdown and Control System uses state-of-the-art microcontrollers and surface-mount PCB assembly technology to provide users of compressors and other critical rotating equipment with a sophisticated, yet reliable, means of protecting and controlling both the prime mover and the load machine (compressor, pump, etc.). Incorporating an intelligent add-on board system, the DE-3000 system is fully scalable, allowing users to incorporate a single control system technology across a wide range of applications. The base DE-3000 conguration (see inside) offers a number of both digital and analog outputs, as well as thirty (30) inputs that can be individually congured for use with switch contacts, thermocouples, or analog transducers. Using one of two different add-on terminal boards, medium and high-spec applications can be accommodated with up to sixty (60) congurable inputs, twenty (20) digital outputs, and four (4) user-adjustable, analog PID outputs. This approach also allows for a single control system to be used across a eet of units, thus simplifying maintenance and part stocking requirements, along with system training requirements for operating personnel. Ease of system setup and conguration sets the DE-3000 apart from other PLC-style or competitive controllers. USB-based connectivity to the device and an intuitive, WindowsTM-based terminal program for system conguration eliminates the need for any knowledge of ladder-logic or other functional programming languages. ModBus-RTU communications are fully supported for remote monitoring and/or control applications.

DE-3000 Description and Operation

The innovative, CSA-certied DE-3000 control system comprehensively starts, protects, monitors, and controls critical rotating equipment such as reciprocating engines, compressors, and pumps. This scalable and expandable microprocessor-based system includes a Display Module, Power Supply Module and Terminal Module(s). Each device is typically mounted in an associated control panel, with the Display Module installed for simple operator access, and the Power Supply and Terminal Module(s) DIN-rail mounted in the rear of the enclosure. SYSTEM OVERVIEW Display Module System operating and application performance information such as engine speed, monitored pressures and temperatures, and the nature of detected alarms and shutdowns is available via a robust, sixteen position, sealed-membrane keypad and 4 X 20-character backlit LCD display. System conguration information is stored in non-volatile memory as are the associated system datalogs (see right). Power Supply Module In addition to conditioning and routing the 12-24 VDC input power, the DE-3000 Power Supply Module also carries up to four (4) industry-standard, 0.6 inch, plug-in digital output modules. These optically-isolated, solid-state devicesincluding several Altronic-manufactured modelsare typically used for on/off control of on-engine processes such as starting motors, fuel, and ignition ring. Terminal Module(s) All system digital and analog inputs and control outputs (with the exception of those outlined above) are routed through the DE-3000 Terminal Module. Unique to the DE-3000, all system inputs are individually congurable for use as discrete (switch) inputs, thermocouple inputs (J or K), or as analog transducer inputs. The base Terminal Module can be expanded substantially through the use of one of two Expansion Modules. Please refer to the chart on the next page. SYSTEM OPERATION The scalable and expandable nature of the DE-3000 allows it to be used on the simplest safety-shutdown-oriented applications, on mid-range applications with minimal or moderate auto-start or capacity control requirements, and on highly-complex units where a signicant number of points must be monitored and functions controlled simultaneously. Safety-Shutdown Functions At its core, the DE-3000 is an annunciator which directly monitors parameters such as temperatures, pressures, speeds, and vibration levels against a set of preset alarm and shutdown thresholds. Once detected, the DE-3000 will take the necessary actions (as congured by the user) to alert the operator and/or shutdown the engine by interrupting the ow of fuel or disabling the ignition system. Control Functions Full auto-start capabilities, including crankdisconnect, are available in the DE-3000. On-board 4-20mA PID control outputs (up to four) and digital outputs (up to 20) offer a range of sophisticated capacity control options. In a typical operation, the DE-3000 starts and warms-up the engine/compressor, raises it to load-carrying speed, and then automatically applies the load by actuating compressor slide valves or other capacity control devices. Should the control setpoint not be met at the minimum load-carrying speed, the compressor speed is automatically raised in an effort to meet the desired process pressure setpoint. This control strategy is governed by a number of user-adjustable load and speed limits which can inhibit the application of additional load beyond what is deemed to be safe, can force the system to shed load, and can shut the engine/compressor down in the event that a maximum speed is exceeded.

DE Series Data Logging and Communications

The DE Series products are designed to operate in a communication environment. The serial communications interfaces provide the user access to critical data, both locally and from remote locations, allowing predictive scheduled maintenance and/or dispatch of repair personnel with the correct parts. DE units can also initiate a call-out in the event of a fault. ModBus and ASCII protocols are supported in both models. At the core of the DE Series communications functions are the data logs. These snapshots of data are taken at user-dened intervals and are a compilation of the analog values being monitored by the DE, plus unit speed, status, and complete information on the rst fault that caused a system shutdown (identity, value, date, time). Using the Terminal Program, data log information can be downloaded locally to a portable PC or communicated remotely via telephone, satellite or radio. An integral data analysis/trending package that is included with the DE Terminal Software can display and graph this data for inspection and analysis.
SPECIAL DE-3000 SYSTEM FOR USE IN CLASS I, DIVISION 1, GROUP D HAZARDOUS AREAS
A special DE-3000 System has been developed for use in hazardous operating areas demanding Class I, Division 1, Group D certication. Utilizing special DE-3000 Terminal Modules and a system Power Supply Module mounted with an integral barrier in an explosion-proof enclosure, this unique system is suitable for new applications requiring this higher level of hazardous area protection. It is also designed for a simple retrot installation as a replacement for obsolete control systems, or where additional monitoring and/or control functionality is required without downgrading the hazardous area rating of the package. Please see the system diagram below for further details.

System Conguration
The intuitive Terminal Software program operates on a ll-in-the-blanks basis whereby the application is not programmed, but congured. Using an application template as a guide, and connecting to a Windows-based PC via USB connection, the operator selects the appropriate operating parameters and setpoints for each input eters nd channel, denes the performance of the digital and analog control outputs, congures the eleven (11) service meters, and establishes the frequency of system datalog es ach sampling and recording (shown at left). This approach puts application conguration and adjustment into the hands of an educated user by eliminating any complex ladderr logic based programming and revision in the eld.

DE-3000 DIGITAL CONTROLLER SYSTEM

FORM DE-3000 IOI 9-08
1.2 The Altronic DE-3000 controller system is an electronic, microprocessor-based system designed to sense various analog and digital input points to control and monitor industrial compressors. The system is eld-programmable using a PC and the supplied terminal program and contains a non-volatile memory to store the setup. Serial communications provide an interface to PCs, PLCs, modems and satellite uplinks for remote communication. A backlit, 4x20 LCD display shows system status, programmed engine/motor and compressor parameters and channel labels. A front-mounted keypad serves as the user interface. The DE-3000 provides for both the safety shutdown functions needed to prevent unnecessary damage to remotely-operated equipment and the closed-loop automatic control functions needed to optimize their efciency of operation. The DE-3000 also provides for remote data acquisition and supervisory control in a compact, low cost package for industrial compressor applications. The optimization strategies availon able for the management of compressor throughput include automatic prime mover speed setting as well as capacity control. On rotary screw rol. compressors, capacity control can be done via suction throttling, or ction using an internal gas bypass technique employing poppet valves, turn oppet valves or slide valves. On reciprocating compressors, capacity can be , controlled using external gas bypass loops or pressure regulasure tion techniques. A wide range of output options, includncluding both analog current loops and digital outputs, are provided to interface with the large variety of actuation systems currently in use. In addition, automatic load limiting based upon prime mover power capabilities or other application specic limitations, such as cooling capacity, are readily y implemented. There is also an AUTO START option that is at enabled using the terminal program.
1.3 The system has three main parts: a panel mounted Display Module DE-3000, a Power Supply Module 691122-1, and a Terminal Module 691171-1. These components are interconnected by means of Cable assembly 693115-1. An additional terminal board may be added for 30 extra channels (691171-2) or 15 extra channels (691175-2). This increases the channel selections from 1-30 to 1-60 or 1-45 respectively.

WARNING:
THE CONTROLLER SYSTEM MUST BE CONFIGURED PRIOR TO USE ON A COMPRESSOR SYSTEM. REFERENCE THE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS (PAGE 65) FOR INSTRUCTIONS DESCRIBING HOW TO CONFIGURE THE CONTROLLER FOR THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION. VERIFY THE PROGRAM IN NONVOLATILE MEMORY (THE EEPROM) PRIOR TO STARTING THE SYSTEM. REFER TO SECTION 10.0 ON HOW TO VIEW THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION.
2.0 DISPLAY MODULE 2.1 The Display Module serves as the user interface for the DE-3000 system. It is in a 6.5" x 6.5" panel mounted enclosure and consists of an alphanumeric 20-character x 4-line backlit LCD display, a 16-key front-mounted keypad, DB-25 D-Sub and DB-9 D-Sub connectors and ve pairs of serial port indicators.
2.2 The keypad is a sealed membrane unit that contains the familiar
STOP, RESET and TEST keys as well as other keys used to navigate through channel status and description, view process screens, and to edit the conguration.
2.3 The LCD displays a HOME SCREEN that displays a status line, the
speed, the suction pressure and the discharge pressure. A VIEW SCREEN, which is available by pressing the VIEW key, displays up to 12 user-congurable analog process labels, values and bargraphs of the corresponding analog inputs. Pressing the VIEW CHANNEL key displays the channel number, its timer status, analog value (if applicable) and the corresponding 20-character user dened label.
NOTE: If possible, keep the original shipping container. If future transportation or storage of the controller is necessary, this container will provide the optimum protection.
2.4 The keypad, along with the LCD display, are used to navigate
through channel status and descriptions, view process screens, and to view or edit the systems conguration. The UNITS or UNITS or the TENS or TENS keys are used to access channels by increasing or decreasing the channel numbers by one or by ten with each key press. Pressing the NEXT key advances the display to the next screen or item. All menu adjustments are saved in non-volatile EEPROM memory by pressing the ENTER key. The EEPROM memory retains the current conguration during normal operation, after compressor shutdown and a system power-down.
2.5 Five pairs of LEDs are provided on the back of the Display Module
for troubleshooting purposes, one Receive (RX) and one Transmit (TX) LED for each port. The TX LED will ash when the Display Module is transmitting serial communications on the labeled port. The RX LED will ash when the Display Module is receiving serial communications on the labeled port.
2.6 Ports 4 and 5 are located on the display board.

INSTALLATION/OPERATING/PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
3.0 POWER SUPPLY MODULE 3.1 The Power Supply Module is made to be rail mounted and is the interface between the Terminal and Display Modules and to other systems. It typically plugs directly into the Terminal Module using the DB-25 connectors and is held together with screws and screw locks.
3.2 The Power Supply Module accepts up to four industry-standard,

commercially-available 0.6 inch plug-in Output Modules. The Output Modules provide a means of using the DE-3000 controller safety shutdown system status to interface with other systems on the engine/ motor and compressor. A typical application would be as a relay or solenoid coil driver. The Output Modules are optically isolated, solidstate switches which are isolated from power supply minus and engine ground. The Output Modules will be in the open (de-energized) condition when the unit is not powered. Outputs 1 and 2 can be software congured for either normally-open (N/O) or normally-closed (N/C) operation and have an LED indicator associated with them. Outputs 3 and 4 are pre-programmed normally-open for use with the optional Auto start feature. If an Output Module is programmed for normally-closed (energized for run), the LED will be ON in the normal run condition and OFF for a fault condition. For Normally-open congured modules the LED will be OFF for normal run condition and turn ON for a fault condition. The standard Output Module outputs use the top row of the dual 16position terminal strip which is marked OUT 1 through OUT 4. Each of these outputs are fused with a replaceable 6.3 amp slow-blow fuse, Altronic P/N 601653. In addition to accepting industry standard Output Modules, a custom Altronic Output Module P/N 691124 is available for tripping ignition powered CD fuel valves and shorting CD ignition shutdown leads upon a fault. When both functions are required, two of these modules are used as follows: OUT 1 slot must be used to trip the fuel valve, and OUT 2 slot must be used to short the ignition. If 12-24 Vdc is lost to the DE-3000 annunciator system, the custom Output Modules will trip the fuel valve and short the ignition shutdown lead. This mimics the fail-safe operation of a normally-closed Output Module and therefore the LED will be ON in the normal run condition and OFF for a fault condition. In programming the system, these modules are identied by using the IGN/FUEL selection. Terminals IGN+ and IGN are used to connect the shutdown lead, and FV1 and FV2 are used for the CD fuel valve. A capacitor is included in the Power Supply Module to supply the energy to trip the fuel valve.
3.3 The 12-24 Vdc power for the DE-3000 system is applied to the power
supply terminals marked (+) and () 1224 VDC INPUT POWER. A 6.3 amp replaceable slow-blow fuse protects the system from over currents, and a power LED lights when power is applied to the system.
www.altronicinc.com

3.4 The external connection for the two serial RS-485 communication
ports is on the Power Supply Module terminal strips. Port 2 is for RS-485 serial communication to future Altronic instruments, and port 3 is for RS-485 serial communication to a PC (personal computer) or a PLC (programmable logic controller) to perform remote monitoring or control functions if desired.
3.5 Terminals marked IGN IN and PU IN are used by the DE-3000 system to detect either engine rotation or ignition system rings. This input monitors changing signals such as those seen on either the ignition shutdown lead or a magnetic pickup monitoring an engine mounted gear. THE MAGNETIC PICKUP INPUT MUST BE USED FOR APPLICATIONS ENABLING THE AUTO START FUNCTION.
The IGN IN terminal connects to the positive (+) C.D. ignition shutdown lead. The PU IN terminal connects to one magnetic pickup input; the other pickup
wire connects to the minus () terminal on the Power Supply Module.
NOTE: An installation may use only one of the terminals IGN IN, PU IN, or T+.
4.0 TERMINAL MODULE 4.1 The Terminal Module is made to be rail mounted and is the point
of interface between the eld sensor wiring and the DE-3000 control system. A removable dual terminal strip is used for the connection of the system to the equipment mounted discrete sensors which may consist of up to 30 inputs, where any of the 30 can be used for either a normally-open, normally-closed switch, or analog inputs including K- or J-type thermocouples. These are listed as channels 0130 for the 691171-1 terminal board. They accept industry-standard transducer signals in the range of 0-5 VDC. Connections from the Terminal Module to the Display Module are made using the 693115-x series Cable Assembly.

4.2 The DE-3000 is designed to operate with industry-standard voltage

or current-amplied output transducers in the range of 0 to 5 Vdc or 0 to 25 mA. Four series of transducers are available from Altronic: pressure transducers 691201-x, 691204-x and temperature transducers 691202/203-300, 691212/213-450.
4.3 Another terminal board assembly may be added to increase the inputs from 30 to either 45 or 60 inputs. Use cable 693133-1 to connect the two boards. The 691175-2 provides an additional 15 inputs, 4 digital outputs, 2 analog outputs and an extra speed (pickup) input. The 691171-2 provides an additional 30 inputs, 8 digital outputs, 2 analog outputs, and an extra speed (pickup) input.
4 FORM DE-3000 IOI 9-08
4.4 PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS
The pressure transducers, Altronic P/N 691201-x and P/N 691204-x, are packaged in a rugged sealed case with a NPT pressure port, a corrosion resistant media cavity, and a Packard Electric Metri-Pack connector. The ranges available are 0-100, 300, 500, 1000, 2000, and 5000 PSIG for the 691201-x series and 0-50,100, 300, 500 PSIA for the 691204-x series, all of which have an overload rating of 1.5 times full scale without damage. The three wires from the transducer are: +5 volt excitation, +0.5 to 4.5 volt output, and minus return. These three wires connect directly to the back of the Terminal Module using cable assembly P/N 693008-x.
4.5 DIFFERENTIAL MEASUREMENTS

Differential pressures or temperatures may be measured by using two consecutive channels. The transducers used to measure differential values must be of the exact same type and range. The rst channel of the pair will display the basic parameter it is monitoring and the second channel of the pair will display the numeric difference in engineering units of its value subtracted from the rst channels value. Setpoints for each channel monitor the displayed value of that channel. The second channel setpoints monitor the differential value.
4.6 TEMPERATURE TRANSDUCER

The temperature transducers, Altronic P/N 691202-300, 691203-300 with a temperature measurement range of +5 to 300F and the 691212-450, 691213-450 with a temperature range of -40 to +450F are packaged in a sealed, stainless steel housing with a 5/8"-18 UNF threaded body, and a Packard Electric Metri-Pack connector. During conguration the standard calibration for the 691202/203300 sensor is selected as DEG1 and the standard calibration for the 691212/213-450 is selected by choosing DEG2. The three wires from the transducer are: +5 volt excitation, temperature output voltage, and minus return. These wires connect directly to the Terminal Module using cable assembly P/N 693008-x.
4.7 THERMOCOUPLE INPUTS

The Terminal Modules can accept industry standard type J or K thermocouples on inputs 0160. Automatic cold junction compensation is built-in. The units can be congured to F or C. Both a high and low setpoint is associated with each channel. The monitor can read type J thermocouples between -76F and +1382F (-60C and +750C) and type K thermocouples between -76F and +1472F (-60C and +800C).
4.8 N/O AND N/C INPUTS

The inputs can also accept standard normally-open and normallyclosed contacts. For normally-open input, place the wire between the corresponding inputs. Ground the connection to cause a fault. Similarly, for normally-open, wire the sensor in a normally-closed connection and open it to cause a fault.
www.altronicinc.com

4.9 4-20MA INPUTS
The terminal module can accept 4-20mA inputs by selecting the internally-connected 200 ohm resistors, creating a termination voltage of .8 to 4.0 volts. The jumper wires between the + and terminals for that channel must be connected for proper operation. See switch setting in section 4.10.

5.0 MOUNTING 5.
NOTE: Avoid mounting the unit with the LCD display facing direct sunlight. The display operating temperature range is 31F to +176F (35C to +80C).
5.1 DISPLAY MODULE 5.

Mount the Display Module inside a control panel or to a suitable at M surface so that the display is at a convenient viewing height. A drilling template and mounting dimensions are provided. SEE FIG. 2
5. 5.2 POWER SUPPLY MODULE

Mount the Power Supply Module in the panel either on the bottom or the side of the main panel. The Power Supply Module is made to be rail mounted onto commercially available 32 or 35 mm DIN mounting rails. It is also made to plug directly into the Terminal Module using the DB-25 connectors and is held together with screws and screw locks. Two end brackets P/N 604199 should be used to keep the modules from sliding off the ends of the mounting rail. Alternatively, the Power Supply Module and the Terminal Module can be mounted separate from each other on the DIN mounting rails but in the same panel; in this case, a DB-25 male/female cable such as P/N 693115-1 is used to electrically connect these modules. The operating temperature range of the Power Supply Module is 31F to +176F (35C to +80C).
IMPORTANT: Pressure transducers will withstand overloads as high as 1.5 times rated pressure. If the overload rating is exceeded, failure may occur. Pressure uctuations occur in most reciprocating systems; pick the transducer with a rating high enough to prevent overload by peak pressures of pulsations. It is recommended that a pressure snubber be used which will reduce the peak pressure applied to the transducer. The life of the transducer will be extended with the use of a snubber or pulsation dampener.
5.3 TERMINAL MODULE 5.

Mount the Terminal Module either on the bottom or the side of the main panel. The Terminal Module and Power Supply Module can be rail-mounted onto commercially available 32 or 35 mm DIN mounting rails. The Terminal Module plugs directly into the Power Supply Module using the DB-25 D-Sub connectors and is held together with screws and screw locks. Two end brackets P/N 604199 are used to keep the modules from sliding off the ends of the rail. The Terminal Module and the Display Module are electrically connected with a DB-25 male/ female cable, 693115-x series or equivalent. The operating temperature range of the Terminal Module is 31F to +176F (35C to +80C).
5.4 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER 5.

Mount the pressure transducer in the panel or in a manifold or tube off of the engine. Do not expose the pressure transducer to temperatures above 221F. (105C). The second terminal module should be placed close to the rst and the wire connecting them should be free of high-powered panel signals.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the absolute maximum rating of the transducers, 350F (176C) for the 691202/203300 or 450F (232C) for the 691212/213-450. Care should be taken to protect the wiring and connectors from contact with hot surfaces.
5.5 TEMPERATURE TRANSDUCER 5.

Mount the temperature transducer in a thermowell on the engine or machine. The actual sensor is located at the bottom of the transducer body; to ensure accuracy, the tip of the probe should be surrounded by the measured media.

6.0 WIRING (SEE WIRING DIAGRAMS) 6.1 SYSTEM COMPONENT WIRING
A DB-25 male/female cable, 693115-x series or equivalent, is used to connect the Terminal Module to the Display Module and secured with the cable lock screws. If mounted on the same mounting rail, plug the Terminal Module directly into the Power Supply Module using the DB-25 D-Sub connectors at the ends of the modules and secure them together with the screws and screw locks captive to the connectors. If the Power Supply Module and the Terminal Module are mounted separate from each other (must be mounted in the same panel) a DB-25 male/female cable such as P/N 693115-1 or equivalent is used to connect these modules.
6.2 POWER WIRING

Connect the supply power wires to the 12-24 Vdc input power terminals on the power supply, plus to terminal (+) and minus to terminal (); power requirement is 12 to 24 Vdc (10 watts max.). The DC terminal must be connected to panel ground which should be the same as engine ground. This is the return path for normally-open sensors and MUST be connected for proper operation. DO NOT ground this device directly to the ignition system common coil ground.
6.3 SENSOR WIRING DISCRETE INPUTS

The sensor leads connect to the removable terminal strips on the Terminal Module. The terminal numbers correspond to the display numbers which also have a user assigned 20 character label associated with it. The sensor inputs are numbered 01-30, 01-45 or 01-60. With AUTO START enabled, the Remote Reset on the terminal board is wired for a start switch. Sensor inputs 0160 can be user-congurable as class A, class B or class C logic. Any discrete sensor point can be wired for normally-open or normally-closed operation.
Normally-open (N/O) sensor switches are wired with one wire to the bottom
terminal strip of the respective sensor number and the other to engine ground which should be the same as power minus (). A short jumper from the bottom terminal to the top terminal must be connected for normally-open sensors. (SEE WIRING DIAGRAMS) terminal strip and the other to the top terminal strip of the respective sensor number. Note that the short jumper wire must be removed. can be used with either normally-open or normally-closed contacts.
Normally-closed (N/C) sensor switches are wired with one wire to the bottom Remote stop and remote reset are wired the same as the sensor switches, and
8 FORM DE-3000 IOI 9-08
Use a wire size between 16 AWG (max.) and 24 AWG (min.) to connect the sensor switches to the terminal strip connector. Strip the insulation back 3/8"; twist the exposed wires tightly together. Insert the exposed wire completely into the terminal strip and securely tighten the clamping screw. Wires running to sensor switches must be in good condition or replaced with new wires. When running wires, take care not to damage the insulation and take precautions against later damage from vibration, abrasion, or liquids in conduits. An explosion-proof conduit is not required. However; wires should be protected from damage by running them in a protective conduit or in sheaths where appropriate. In addition, it is essential that the following practices be adhered to: A. Never run sensor wires in the same conduit with ignition wiring or other high energy wiring such as the AC line power. B. Keep secondary wires to spark plugs and other high voltage wiring at least eight inches (200mm) away from sensor and sensor wiring. C. Sensor switches may be connected to any passive device using contacts such as standard switch gauges, pressure or level switches. DO NOT connect sensor leads to any voltage producing element. D. In the case of a eld conversion, where sensors have previously been used with Murphy tattletales, it is recommended that the sensors be checked frequently when the DE system is rst put into use. Sensor contacts may be burned or pitted from past exposure to ignition system primary voltage. It is advisable to replace such sensors. E. If it becomes necessary to check sensor switch to panel wiring with an ohmmeter or other checker, rst DISCONNECT the plug-in terminal strips from the Terminal Module. Applying voltage to the DE-3000 system through the sensor leads may damage the device. The area should be tested as nonhazardous before such testing commences. ANALOG SENSOR WIRING For each analog monitored point, inputs 0160, select a transducer - either an Altronic pressure or temperature transducer listed above or one that outputs a signal in the range of 0 to 5 Vdc or 0 to 25 mA. Mount as described above. Use cable assembly 693008-x or similar to wire transducer to the Terminal Module. An internal 5 volt sensor supply (500 mA. max.) is available to power the Altronic transducers; see wiring diagrams. If the 5 volt sensor supply exits the panel, it must be fused with a 0.5 ampere fuse. If 24Vdc powered sensors are used, the 24 volt supply to them must be fused appropriately. Take care not to damage the insulation when installing and take precautions against later damage from vibration, abrasion, or liquids in conduits. In addition, it is essential that the following practices be adhered to: A. Never run sensor wires in the same conduit with ignition wiring or other high energy wiring such as AC line power. B. Keep secondary wires to spark plugs and other high voltage wiring at least eight inches (200mm) away from sensor and sensor wiring.

6.4 THERMOCOUPLES AND THERMOCOUPLE EXTENSION WIRE
Grounded or ungrounded type J or K thermocouples may be used. Use thermocouple extension wire of the same type as the thermocouple probe to connect to the terminal module. Use stranded thermocouple wire having a moisture-resistant insulation such as PVC; for higher ambient temperatures, Teon or B-bre insulated thermocouple wire is recommended. To ensure that an accurate signal is transmitted to the device, avoid any added junctions, splices and contact with other metals. On unused channels, leave the small jumper wire supplied with the system in place. Take care not to damage the insulation when installing and take precautions against later damage from vibration, abrasion, or liquids in conduits. In addition, it is essential that the following practices be adhered to: A. Never run sensor wires in the same conduit with ignition wiring or other high energy wiring such as AC line power. B. Keep secondary wires to spark plugs and other high voltage wiring at least eight inches (200mm) away from sensor and sensor wiring.

6.6 RS-485 COMMUNICATIONS WIRING
There are four RS-485 communication ports available:
Port 2 is for communication between the display and terminal boards. Port 3 is for RS-485 serial communication to a PC or a PLC.
Use a two conductor shielded cable of ne gauge stranded wire and connect the wires for port 2 to the terminals marked A2 and B2 and the shield wire to terminal S2. The wiring for port 3 connects to the terminals marked A3, B3 and S3. Connect to the other communication devices A to A() and B to B(+). Connect the shield wire to the DE-3000 system ONLY.
6.7 SENSE ROTATION INPUT

Terminals marked IGN IN and PU IN on the Power Supply Module are used by the DE-3000 system to detect either engine rotation or ignition system rings. On applications using multiple terminal board assemblies, the T+ terminal on the second terminal board (the one not directly connected to the power supply) can be used to add a second RPM value. The T+ input is only for use with magnetic pickups. This input monitors voltage signals such as those seen on either the ignition shutdown lead or a magnetic pickup monitoring an engine mounted gear.
The IGN IN terminal connects to the positive (+) C.D. ignition shutdown lead. The PU IN terminal connects to one magnetic pickup input; the other pickup
wire connects to the minus () terminal on the Power Supply Module. The T+ terminal connects to one magnetic pickup input; the other pickup wire connects to the terminal on the terminal module.
THE MAGNETIC PICKUP INPUT MUST BE USED FOR APPLICATIONS ENABLING THE OPTIONAL AUTO START FUNCTION.
7.0 HAZARDOUS AREA OPERATION 7.1 The DE-3000 system is CSA certied for CLASS I, DIVISION 2, GROUPS C
and D areas when mounted in a suitable enclosure. In addition, the following requirements must be met (refer to NFPA standard no. 493):
The low voltage sensor switch wires within the panel enclosure must be kept at
least two (2) inches away from other wiring. Run the sensor switch wires leaving the panel in a separate conduit from all other wiring and keep them separate an AC voltage of 500 volts RMS.
Wiring to the sensors must have a grade of insulation capable of withstanding Sensor wires must be run in separate conduits and junction boxes from high

16.0 CONTRAST RATIO ADJUSTMENT 16.1 The LCD contrast ratio is factory-set for optimum contrast over a large
temperature range. It may be necessary however to make slight adjustments to the LCD contrast ratio because of aging and or extreme temperature changes. The contrast ratio potentiometer (TP1) is located on the back of the Display Module as shown in the drawings section. Use an adjusting tool and turn the potentiometer clockwise to lighten the contrast ratio or counterclockwise to darken the contrast ratio. To set the potentiometer back to the factory setting: with the Display Module at an ambient temperature of approximately 65F to 77F (18C to 25C), turn the potentiometer clockwise until the display contrast ratio is almost too light to read. Turn the potentiometer counterclockwise 3 to 3-1/2 turns. The display should then be at a desirable contrast ratio.
17.0 DATA LOGGING AND COMMUNICATION OPTIONS 17.1 The DE-3000 controller system contains a data logging feature. Data
logging collects information from the system and keeps track of, or logs, that information over a period of time. That data is then available through a PC or PLC at port 1, the RS-232 port or port 3, the RS-485 port.
17.2 NODE NUMBER

The node number is the address of the controller being contacted. This number is programmed by the terminal program and can be viewed or edited in the menu screen, REFER TO SECTION 14.9. A twodigit number from 01 to 99 can be used.
www.altronicinc.com
37

DATA LOGGING AND COMMUNICATION OPTIONS (continued) 17.3 COMMUNICATIONS PARAMETERS
The following must be set in the PC or PLC to communicate with the controller system: Baud Rate: 9600 8 Data Bits: 1 Stop Bits: None Parity:
17.4 The data logging memory can retain a total of 100 records before
writing over the oldest information. The most current data is always record number one; the next most current is number two, etc. The oldest information, record 100, is lost when a new record is written. The logging period is the time between data logs and can be set from 5 minutes to 999 minutes. The logging period must be set in the terminal program. Reference the programming instructions (SEE PAGE 65) to set the logging period. So for example, if the logging period is set for 60 minutes and there are 100 records, it would take 100 hours or 4.16 days before any logged data was overwritten. A new record is also written when a rst fault occurs. If the rst fault occurs between the logging period, the rst fault record will be record number one and the next scheduled record will be number two.
17.5 The DE-3000 system uses a simple ASCII command to read the data
collected. The ASCII command must be transmitted to the controller by the PC or PLC before it can respond. The command is shown below. The hexadecimal values for the characters are shown only for those using low level (assembly language) decoding and will not appear on the communications terminal screen. ASCII HEX >(01 DL 001) 3Eh 28h 30h 32h 20h 44h 4Ch 20h 30h 30h 32h 29h
COMMAND HEADER > (3Eh) The command must begin with the command header. START OF TEXT ( (28h) The start of text character must be next. NODE NUMBER 0199 The node number or address of the controller being contacted is next. This number is programmed by the terminal program and can be viewed or edited in the menu screen. A two digit number from 01 to 99 can be used. SPACE (20h) Following the node number is an ASCII space character (not printable, value 20h) to act as a delimiter between the node number and the two character command word. COMMAND WORD DL (44h, 4Ch) The command is an upper case DL for data log. SPACE (20h) A space again is used as a delimiter. RECORD NUMBER 001100 The record number is the requested record. This number can be any number from 001 to 100. Record number 001 always contains the most recent record, 002 the second most recent and so on. The controller holds a maximum of 100 records in its memory before overwriting the oldest record. END OF TEXT ) (29h) The end of text completes the message.

18.0 AUTOMATIC CALL OUT USING AN EXTERNAL MODEM 18.1 The DE-3000 controller system can perform an automatic call out
upon a fault condition. When a fault occurs, the system will dial up to four preprogrammed phone numbers stored in an external modem, negotiate communications and send the rst fault data log report message (the 999 command) to the Altronic monitor program on a PC or to a customer supplied device.
18.2 An external modem of 9600 baud or greater, along with a null modem
cable or adapter connected to the RS-232 port on the controller, is used for remote modem communications.
18.3 Congure the modem using the monitor program:
9600 baud only (S37=9) 8 data bits 1 stop bit no parity DTR is always on (&D0) Local Echo off (E0) Display verbal result codes (V1) Auto answer on the rst ring (S00=1) Set inactivity timer to one minute (S19=1) Store the current conguration as prole 0 in nonvolatile memory (&W0) Use modem prole 0 (&Y0) Store up to four telephone numbers in nonvolatile memory (&Zn=x)
n = memory location x = phone number to be stored For more information on conguring the modem SEE SECTION 27. Please refer to the modems user guide and reference manual.
Note: The related modem conguration commands are shown in parenthesis. The commands not listed are set to factory defaults. Modem prole 0 (zero) is used by the controller system. Up to four phone numbers can be programmed in the modem.
42 FORM DE-3000 IOI 9-08
18.4 Upon a fault, the controller sends the dial string to dial the rst
stored phone number in the modem (ATDTS0). If communications are established, the rst fault data log report message is sent. After the rst fault message is sent, a pause of about ten seconds occurs allowing for time to request other data logs. After ten seconds of no activity, the controller causes the modem to go ofine. The rst fault data log is then available on the remote PC for customer use. If more than one phone number is programmed in the modem, the controller will attempt to dial each number until all numbers have been successfully negotiated. If the rst stored phone number in the modem is not available, the controller will immediately dial the second stored phone number. After attempting to dial all of the programmed phone numbers and if any of them were not answered, a pause of 10 minutes will occur. After the 10 minute wait period for the line to clear, the controller will send the dial string for the unanswered stored phone numbers. This sequence will occur twenty times or until it gets a connect signal for each programmed phone number. If all faults are cleared by initiating a reset, the controller will cease dialing out.
19.0 ALARM FUNCTION 19.1 OVERVIEW

The alarm function may occur on any of the analog or digital input channels. The channel is typically a point of concern, but not for safety protection. This allows the user to take action, while still allowing the engine to run.
19.2 FUNCTION
The status of an alarm condition may be viewed from the VIEW CHANNELS MODE. When a channel is in the alarm condition, the channel will display the ALARMED message and output #6 on the terminal board will turn on. This may be connected to a horn or a light. Press the F2 key on the ALARMED channel to silence the alarm (output #6). The following is needed for the point to be in an alarm condition: 1. 2. 3. 4. The unit must be setup for alarms. The channel must be programmed for an alarm condition. The channel must be timed out and armed. The analog input channel must be violating its control setpoint (either high or low). 5. The digital input channel must be tripped but not in a faulting condition. 6. The unit cannot be in either a STOP or a faulted condition.

ALARM FUNCTION (continued) 19.3 In the following example the high control setpoint for channel 12 is
set for 25.0 PSIG
STATUS RUNNING ARMED CHAN 12 22.8 PSIG MANIFOLD AIR PRESS
When the pressure goes above 25.0 the ALARMED message reads:
STATUS RUNNING ALARMED CHAN 12 26.3 PSIG MANIFOLD AIR PRESS
When an ALARMED condition occurs, the unit goes into the VIEW CHANNELS MODE and begins the SCAN operation. The alarm may be acknowledged by pressing the F2 key as shown:
STATUS RUNNING ALARMED (ACK) CHAN 12 26.3 PSIG MANIFOLD AIR PRESS
Acknowleding all the alarms will turn off output #6 (typically a horn or light). Once the alarm is no longer violated, whether its been acknowledged or not, the 2nd line resumes displaying ARMED.

20.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: A spare fuse (part number 601653 - 6.3 amp) is provided on the power supply board.
20 20.1 The power LEDs on the Power Supply and Terminal Module are
blank as well as the LCD on the display module: Check the power supply voltage at the 12-24 Vdc input terminals; should be between 12 and 24 Vdc. Check the power supply power fuse and replace if blown. If the Terminal Module power LED or the Display Module LCD is not on, make sure the 25-pin connectors and cable assembly are connected and secured.
20.2 The normally-open sensors do not cause a fault:

Make sure the power supply minus terminal is grounded to the panel and the panel is grounded to the engine block. They must all be at the same potential for normally-open sensors that use the engine block as a return path. Use an ohmmeter and measure between the power supply minus terminal and the panel and engine block this reading should be less than 2 ohms.
20.3 The output LEDs are changing state but the relays or solenoid valves
connected to the outputs are not tripping: Check that the wiring is correct and check the output module fuse.
20.4 The power LEDs are lit as well as the LCD backlighting but the LCD
is blank or shows WARNING: THE DE-3000 Controller MUST BE CONFIGURED PRIOR TO USE ON AN ENGINE: The controller system needs to be congured. SEE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS to congure the system.
20.5 The home screen displays NO COMM. message for either the speed,
suction or discharge: Communications from the terminal PCB to the DE-3000 controller have been broken. Check cable connections.
20.6 The home screen displays dashes for the speed, suction or discharge:
A channel was not congured in the initial conguration for that parameter. SEE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS to reprogram the controller system.
20.7 The fault screen shows that outputs one and two should be tripping
the fuel valve and shorting the ignition but the fuel valve and ignition do not trip: Make sure the fuel valve and ignition shutdown lead are wired to power supply terminals FV1 and FV2 for the fuel valve and IGN+ and IGN- for the ignition shut down lead. Make sure that Altronic output module 691124 is in power supply output slots OUT 1 and OUT 2.
20.8 The time and date, after being set (SEE SECTION 14.13), are not correct after removing and reapplying the input power: The real time clock/RAM module (U10) needs replaced.

TROUBLESHOOTING (continued) 20.9 LCD contrast ratio on the Display Module is either too light or too
dark: The contrast ratio needs to be adjusted. SEE SECTION 16.0
20.10 The external modem does not commence dialing:

A null modem cable or adapter is not used and is required from the RS-232 port to the modem. The modem was not congured properly. Make sure that DTR is always on and that conguration 0 (zero) is being used and the phone numbers are programmed into the modem.
Note: If a Class A setpoint should fault at any time during an AUTO START sequence, the system will terminate the sequence and display the appropriate fault message returning the system to STATE 0.
NOTES: AUTO START IS INHIBITED BY SENSING ANY RPM ABOVE 0 RPM. AUTO START IS ABORTED BY THE DETECTION OF ANY MONITORED FAULT. CLASS B AND CLASS C TIMERS BEGIN AT CRANKING. A LOCAL WARNING SIGNAL AT THE ENGINE SITE PRIOR TO CRANKING SHOULD BE PROVIDED.
46 FORM DE-3000 IOI 9-08
21.0 AUTO START OPTION 21.1 To automatically start the engine, the AUTO START option must be selected when programming the system from the PC and the starting procedure sequence dened. STATE 0: SHUTDOWN The AUTO START sequence must begin from an engine stopped condition, this means that the measured RPM has been at zero for at least 5 seconds. This is the system STATE 0 on the sequence chart. STATE 1: BEGIN AUTO START SEQUENCE TIMED DELAY PERIOD When the auto start command is received, the rst action taken is to create an internal system reset which clears the previously set fault ags and resets the PRE-LUBE (Timer 1) and DELAY BEFORE CRANKING (Timer 2) timers to a count of zero. This is system STATE 1. The PRE-LUBE and DELAY BEFORE CRANKING timers will both begin counting at this time, but they each have an independently set value so that the PRE-LUBE pump can be set to run prior to the cranking only or thru the cranking cycle or until some point in time after the engine starts. If an optional pressure setpoint is going to be used to terminate the PRE-LUBE operation, this can be done by using a secondary control setpoint on oil pressure assigned to one of the discrete control outputs. In system STATE 1, while these timers are running, all class A setpoints are being monitored and if any of these monitored points fault, the auto start sequence will be terminated and the cause of the fault displayed, returning the unit to system STATE 0 on the sequence chart. If no faults are present during system STATE 1, the DELAY BEFORE CRANKING timer continues to count until the selected value is reached. In system STATE 1 of the sequence the system turns on the power supply OUTPUT #4, the PRE-LUBE output. This allows for the activation of an electrically controlled pre-lube pump for a programmed time period of 0 to 999 seconds prior to and/or during cranking. The use of an appropriate warning device which can be used to alert any personnel near the engine of the forthcoming start attempt is strongly recommended. This warning device (ashing lights or horn) can be activated by the PRE-LUBE output directly or thru the use of auxiliary relay contacts. STATE 2: BEGIN CRANKING When cranking begins the system is at STATE 2 on the sequence chart. After a user programmed time delay, adjustable from 0 to 999 seconds and set when programming the unit ; the engine cranking will begin. At the point of cranking, the Class B and Class C timers begin counting their programmed lock out delay before arming values. The reason that these counters are not started until this point in system STATE 2 is to maintain a constant lockout time from engine start before arming regardless of the time required for cranking. This allows the Class B and Class C setpoints to behave in the same manner and use the same timer values for both AUTO START and MANUAL starting sequences. The CRANKING motor is controlled via power supply OUTPUT #3, which would typically be used to control a solenoid valve or power relay connected to the starting device.

21.1 AUTO START OPTION (continued)
STATE 3: PURGE 1 NO FUEL NO IGNITION As the engine cranking begins, the DE-3000 system implements the engine purge cycle. The rst engine purge cycle consists of a programmed roll time, 0 to 10 seconds (5 second typical), without fuel or ignition. STATE 4: PURGE 2 NO FUEL WITH IGNITION The second engine purge cycle is an additional programmed time from 0 to 10 seconds with the ignition ring and no fuel being supplied while still cranking. STATE 5: STARTING FUEL AND IGNITION ON After a total purge time of ten seconds, both ignition and fuel have been enabled via outputs #1 and #2 of the power supply module and the engine should begin running. STATE 6: ENGINE STARTED As the engine speed increases, the user programmable CRANK DISCONNECT speed switch function will automatically disable the starter at the selected RPM by de-energizing OUTPUT #3. This is the beginning of system STATE 6 on the sequence chart. If the crank disconnect RPM is not reached within a user programmed time period after the cranking output is energized (15 to 99 seconds), an OVERCRANK FAULT will be generated. The OVERCRANK FAULT will turn off the fuel and ignition and disable the starter until a new AUTO START command is received returning the system to STATE 0. STATE 7: ENGINE RUNNING UNLOADED WARMUP After the engine has started and the cranking device is turned off, this is system STATE 7 on the sequence chart, the 4-20 ma. RPM control output to the governor will be at the IDLE speed value. The RPM control output will stay at the IDLE value until a user programmed delay of 0 to 999 minutes as set by the WARM-UP TIMER is completed. STATE 8: ENGINE RUNNING PID OUTPUT CONTROL STARTS After the WARM-UP period ends the sequence begins system STATE 8, the 4-20 ma control outputs begin to adjust from their default value according to the programmed conguration. Since the programmed conguration is determined by the USER it is not possible to dene a particular behavior of the system as normal. A brief description of a typical application conguration follows, although many other control schemes are equally valid. REFER TO THE SEQUENCE OF OPERATION CHART ON PAGE 76
48 FORM DE-3000 IOI 9-08
22.0 SELECTING A CONTROL STRATEGY 22.1 The control strategy best suited to a particular application varies widely. The following information is offered as a set of general guidelines and denitions. Each application should be evaluated by qualied personnel familiar with the actual operating conditions.
22.2 The DE-3000 controller can be programmed to regulate compressor

throughput by controlling both capacity and engine speed. In any particular application, it may be desirable to control the total compressor throughput using only one of these.
22.3 The RPM control of the engine can be done using one of the analog
control outputs of the DE-3000 as a 4-20 ma current loop which can be connected directly to an electronic governor. If a governor requiring a pneumatic setpoint (3-15 psi ) is used then the 4-20 ma output is connected to an appropriate I/P transducer.
22.4 The CAPACITY control output of the DE-3000 is available in two formats, to drive the most common actuating systems. The rst output format is an industry standard 4-20 ma current loop used for continuously adjustable (sometimes referred to as linear) control. The 4-20 ma. output would typically be used to interface to a pneumatically controlled bypass valve. A second set of capacity control outputs is brought out of the controller in a digital format (discrete transistors). The digital or discrete outputs consist of two transistors which switch on to ground and are designed to drive relay coils or pilot duty solenoid valves. One switch is labeled DIGITAL OUT 1 and energizes to LOAD the compressor the other is labeled DIGITAL OUT 2 and energizes to UNLOAD the compressor. The typical application on reciprocating compressors would be to use the 4-20 ma. CAPACITY output to connect to an appropriate I/P transducer which then connects via tubing to the actuator input of a pneumatically controlled external bypass valve. On some screw compressors utilizing an internal stepless bypass, a spring-biased turn valve, or slide valve, the 4-20 ma. CAPACITY output can be connected to an appropriate I/P transducer which then connects via tubing to the actuator in order to move the valve The second set of capacity control outputs is brought out of the controller in a digital format (discrete transistors). The digital or discrete outputs consist of two transistors which switch on to ground and are designed to drive relay coils or pilot duty solenoid valves. One switch is labeled DIGITAL OUT 1 and energizes to LOAD the compressor the other is labeled DIGITAL OUT 2 and energizes to UNLOAD the compressor. When used with the hydraulically positioned slide valve on a screw compressor application, these outputs are typically connected to a three-way solenoid valve. On reciprocating compressors, the digital outputs can be used to actuate a motor controlled bypass valve via relay contacts which energize the motor to move in the open or close directions.

SELECTING A CONTROL STRATEGY (continued) 22.5 The PRIMARY control input should be selected on the basis of the prevailing operating conditions at the compressor site as well as considerations of loading uctuations, etc. Some basic approaches to compressor load control are listed below : SUCTION PRESSURE CONTROL By holding suction pressure at a nearly constant value, a large number of limited ow rate wells can be kept productive with minimal upset conditions. Usually this approach is characterized as a relatively limited supply, or a low ow rate supply of gas, at a given site. This approach may also be required as part of various reclamation or vapor recovery programs. This is an inverse acting relationship increasing the throughput of the compressor causes the suction pressure to decrease. DISCHARGE PRESSURE CONTROL By holding discharge pressure at a constant value, a trunk line feeding a larger compressor, or pipeline system, permits a supply of gas to be delivered at a rate approximately equal to the rate at which it is to be consumed. The amount of gas being compressed is not necessarily limited by its availability at the compressor site, but by how much has been consumed by the destination site. This is a direct acting relationship increasing the throughput of the compressor causes the suction pressure to increase. ENGINE MANIFOLD PRESSURE CONTROL By adjusting the compressor throughput on the basis of engine manifold pressure, compressed gas is being produced at a rate that is determined by the horsepower available at the site. This approach would be used where there is plenty of gas available at the wellhead and all of it that is produced can be sold or consumed. In this situation, the only limitation on compressor loading is how much work the engine can do without subjecting it or the compressor to an overload. In the case of electric motor driven compressors, a motor current sensor or kW sensor works in the same manner as the engine manifold pressure sensor on a gas engine.
22.6 When programming the DE-3000 system, the basic relationship of the
PRIMARY CONTROL INPUTS (A1, A2, S1), PRIMARY CONTROL OUTPUTS (AO1 AND AO2), and OUTPUT ACTUATORS needs to be dened. The relationship between a PRIMARY CONTROL INPUT and PRIMARY CONTROL OUTPUT is dened as either DIRECT or INVERSE acting. DIRECT acting means that to increase the value of the PRIMARY CONTROL INPUT, the throughput of the compressor is increased. INVERSE acting means that to increase the value of the PRIMARY CONTROL INPUT, the compressor load must be decreased. In the examples of common control approaches given; discharge pressure and engine manifold pressure or motor amps are direct acting. Suction pressure is an example of a control parameter that is inverse acting. In order to increase suction pressure the compressor throughput must be reduced.
50 FORM DE-3000 IOI 9-08
In addition to dening the input/output relationship, the relationship of the control output value to the actuator must also be dened as either direct or inverse acting. As in the case of the control input/output relationship, the direct acting output mechanism is one where an increase in current from the controller causes an increase in load on the compressor. An inverse operating actuator is one where the current is decreased to increase the load on the compressor.
22.7 The secondary control setpoint options have been modied to add
more exibility as detailed below.
INHIBIT AN OUTPUT INCREASE

The output of one or more of the control loops can be limited in the increasing direction only, while allowing the assigned output to freely decrease.
INHIBIT AN OUTPUT DECREASE

The output of one or more of the control loops can be limited in the decreasing direction only, while allowing the assigned output to freely increase.
FORCE AN OUTPUT INCREASE

The output of one or more of the control loops can be forced to increase even if the primary control loop requires a different action.
FORCE AN OUTPUT DECREASE

The output of one or more of the control loops can be forced to decrease even if the primary control loop requires a different action. In addition to these actions being assignable to the analog inputs, they are also assignable to the analog outputs (AO1, AO2). This allows for the output of one control loop to interact with the other according to a programmed priority. For example, the output of loop #2 can be inhibited until a certain output value of Loop #1 is reached.

GLOSSARY:
ACTUATOR Electromagnetic devices which convert electric current to linear or rotary motion. This motion may then be used to control equipment directly, an electro-mechanical actuator, or it can be used to regulate a gas or liquid pressure as in a CURRENT TO PRESSURE converter (I/P). An input which accepts voltage signals between 0 and 5 volts. These signals are converted by the DE-3000 to engineering units and compared by the microprocessor to user programmed safety shutdown and control setpoints. An output which provides a current between 420 milliamps to external devices to control the compressor. These outputs can be used to interface directly to electrical actuators or connected to I/P transducers mechanical actuators. The capacity control of the compressor is accomplished by reducing the volume of gas moved per compressor cycle. 100% capacity is the full rated volume of gas compressed per machine cycle. Capacity control can be done on both reciprocating and screw compressors using various techniques. A compressor cycle is a full rotation of the compressor drive shaft. A turn of the screw on a screw compressor or a revolution of the crankshaft on a reciprocating compressor. These are setpoints programmed by the user which are within the normal operating range of the equipment and are used to optimize the function of the equipment. Control setpoints may also be used to implement corrective actions to prevent overstress of components or to notify personnel of potential problems before they become severe enough to cause a shutdown. The RPM setting at which output #3 of the power supply will be de-energized. This will de-energize the starting device. The time after the auto start command before cranking will begin. Allows for pre-lube function and starting warning to personnel. Power supply output #4 is normally energized during this time. SEE PRE-LUBE TIME.

GLOSSARY:
CURRENT STEP LIMIT The current step limit is a maximum value that the analog output will be allowed to change from one control cycle to another. The current step limit is used to prevent rapid or erratic control action of the actuator even under transient conditions or with a poorly tuned control system. A limit of about 2 ma or about 10% of the output range is reasonable default value. The time taken between adjustments of the PRIMARY CONTROL loop. The longer the cycle time selected the less responsive the control output is to variations in the controlled parameter. The cycle time is adjustable from 1 to 999 seconds. The controller deadband denes a user programmed value both above and below the setpoint for which no corrective action will be taken. Deadband is used to improve control stability by holding the controller output constant in the presence of noise or small transient errors on the input. When describing control or actuator functions, direct acting is used to identify relationships where the controller must increase its output to cause an increase in the variable. When describing control or actuator functions, inverse acting is used to identify relationships where the controller must decrease its output to cause an increase in the variable. The maximum RPM setting is the highest governor setpoint value which will be sent by the controller in an attempt to satisfy the primary control setpoint. The maximum running RPM. The minimum RPM is the governor setpoint value which will be sent by the controller after the warmup delay time has been fullled. The minimum RPM is the speed which must be seen by the controller to allow loading of the compressor to begin. The maximum time that the starting device will remain energized by output #3 before the starting attempt is considered failed. If an overcrank occurs, the crank disconnect RPM is not reached before the overcrank time, then an overcrank fault has occurred.

GLOSSARY:
PRE-LUBE TIME A user programmed time for which output #4 will remain ON after the beginning of an AUTO START sequence. Normally used for control of a pre-lube pump and to signal that a starting attempt is about to begin. The primary control is a closed loop based upon an input value selected from CHANNELS 01, 02, or 03. The throughput of the compressor is adjusted by the controller to maintain this setpoint.
PRIMARY CONTROL
PROPORTIONAL BAND The proportional band is used to tune the response of the controller to the characteristic behavior of the equipment being controlled. Proportional band is the inverse of gain expressed as a percentage. A proportional band setting of 10% is equal to a gain setting 10, a proportional band setting of 20% is equal to a gain of 5, etc. The smaller the proportional band setting the greater the controller response to a difference between the measured value and the setpoint. RPM CHANGE/CYCLE The maximum RPM change per cycle is used to limit the rate at which the controller output to the governor will be allowed to change. This limit is used to avoid rapid speed changes during transient conditions. Safety shutdown setpoints are those which cause the protected equipment to be shutdown or stopped in order to protect the equipment and or the operating personnel. These setpoints must be selected to be outside the range of normal operation.
SAFETY SHUTDOWN
SECONDARY CONTROL Secondary or supplemental control functions are accomplished by sensing user programmed control setpoints. LOAD INHIBIT or FORCE UNLOAD strategies, as well as alarms or corrective actions can be implemented. THROUGHPUT The total volume of gas per unit of time moved by the compressor. Throughput is varied by both speed and capacity adjustments made by the controller. The warmup delay time is user programmable from 0 to 99 minutes. This allows for the engine/compressor to run unloaded for this time delay as part of the auto start sequence. The engine speed output to the governor will be held at the idle RPM value during the warmup delay.
