1. INTRODUCTION
This manual explains basic programming and processing principles of the SC100/SC200 Series Multi-function PID Control-
ler, and detailed functions of the software function blocks including their coding examples.
These principles are also applicable to MsysNet remote I/O modules connected via peer-to-peer communication network,
with differences in I/O specications, i.e. eld terminals.
It will be a helpful reference tool for the user during programming, debugging and commissioning of the Controller.
Be aware that data and parameters given in the document are only examples, and it is the user’s sole responsibility
to examine and determine the validity of a control strategy design he chooses and its function blocks and opera-
tions.
The SC100/200 Series products are referred to as ‘the Controller’ in this manual if not explained otherwise. Descriptions
applicable to specic models are either mentioned with the particular model numbers, or identied with symbols such as:
SC200/210
The following document will also provide helpful information when using this product:

1.1 SC100/200 MULTI-FUNCTION PID CONTROLLER
■INPUT & OUTPUT SIGNALS
Physical eld terminals: Universal input (DC, T/C, RTD and potentiometer), 2 points
Analog (voltage) input, 4 points (1-5 V DC)
Discrete/pulse input, 5 points
High-speed discrete/pulse input with excitation supply, 1 point
Analog (MV) output, 2 points (4-20 mA DC)
Analog (voltage) output, 2 points (1-5 V DC)
Discrete output, 5 points
Software communication terminals (16 blocks) SC200/210
I/O signals that can be assigned to each block:
Analog input, 2 points
Analog output, 2 points
Discrete input, 32 points
Discrete output, 32 points
For example, at the maximum of 32 analog I/O signals are usable for remote I/O if all available communication terminal blocks
are assigned with analog signals, and likewise at the maximum of 512 discrete I/O signals are usable if all these blocks are
assigned with discrete signals. Analog and discrete signals can be mixed according to the user’s application needs.
Remote I/O modules are connected via peer-to-peer communication.
■AVAILABLE SOFTWARE FUNCTION BLOCKS
Control blocks: 2
Computation, timer and counter blocks: 48
Sequential control blocks: 12 (1068 commands in total)
■SETTING FUNCTION BLOCK PARAMETERS (PROGRAMMING & SET VALUES)
Parameters are set either via the front panel of the Controller or by using the Loop Conguration Builder Software (model:
SFEW3E) on the PC.
■SAVING PROGRAMMING
Parameters can be uploaded from the Controller to save as a le usable for the SFEW3E or downloaded from the software
program. Maintaining a library of programs will help the user to replace a failed controller with the shortest disruption time.
■POWER FAILURE
Parameters are stored in the EEPROM, safely in case of a power failure. Running operation data stored in the RAM is not
lost by a brief power failure (less than 10 minutes). A hot start is possible once the power is recovered.

1.2 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
Analog instruments for feedback control (PID controllers and function modules) and relay control circuits for sequential (logic)
control functions are replaced with software function blocks connected between each other in the programming just like
physical wiring. No specialized programming skill is required.
The gure below shows an example describing combined analog and sequential control functions realized on the software
programming. Each rectangular box with bold lines represents a single function called ‘function block.’

1.3 CONNECTING BETWEEN FUNCTION BLOCKS
A function block is referred to with Group No. in which it is registered. Group + terminal numbers are referred when connect-
ing a block to another. Discrete signals are handled in a different manner from analog signals.
1.3.1 CONNECTING ANALOG SIGNALS
Group and terminal numbers of an analog signal source are registered at the destination function block where the signal is
taken in and used.
A terminal is described as GGNN, where GG means Group No. and NN means Terminal No.

to ‘0,’ ITEM 84 (decimal point position) to ‘1,’ and ITEM 85 (engineering unit) to ‘C.’
•PV connection terminal (ITEM 15)
Used to specify Group and Terminal No. of measured input signal terminal.
4.2.2 SETPOINT VALUE SP
•CAS connection terminal (ITEM 24)
Used to specify Group and Terminal No. of the analog input used for cascade control. If ‘Local’ setting mode (ITEM 29) is
specied, the terminal is not needed.
•Setting mode (ITEM 29)
Used to specify whether the setpoint value is controlled only locally (Loc mode) or its setting should be able to be switched
between cascade and local control (Cas/Loc mode). When Cas/Loc mode is specied, a sequence control command is used
to remotely select between modes.
•C/L switch (Terminal 03, ITEM 30)
Used to switch cascade or local setpoint control. The command is invalid when ITEM 29 is set to the local setting mode. A
sequence control command (1: Cascade, 0: Local) can switch it.
•SP rate-of-change limit (ITEM 32) (Advanced PID)
Used to apply a limit in the rate of change in the setpoint. Set ‘0’ if the function is not needed.
•Current SP monitoring (ITEM 33)
Current SP can be read out on the Programming View of the Controller.
•Current SP transmission (Terminal 22)
Current SP can be re-transmitted via the terminal 22.
•SP tracking SW (Terminal 04) (Advanced PID)
When the terminal 04 is set with ‘1,’ the SP tracks the PV. The SP always equals the PV.

4.2.4 INPUT COMPENSATION (Advanced PID)
Input compensation is a function applied to input deviation before it is supplied to the PID control.
•Input compensation SW (Terminal 06, ITEM 37)
The input compensation is applied in the method specied with ITEM 38 when the switch is turned on. Use the terminal 06
to control it from a sequential control block.
•Input compensation method (ITEM 38)
0 : Without compensation ...The deviation signal is supplied directly to the PID.
1 : Addition ..........................An external signal is added to the deviation before it is supplied to the PID.
2 : Subtraction.....................An external signal is subtracted from the deviation before it is supplied to the PID.
3 : Substitution....................An external signal is supplied to the PID instead of the deviation signal.
•Input compensation connection terminal (ITEM 39)
Used to specify Group and Terminal No. of the external signal used for input compensation.
•Deviation output (Terminal 23)
Deviation of the PV from the SP used for input compensation.

The rst term on the right side represents the proportional control function, which provides an output proportional to devia-
tion.
The second term represents the integral control function, which provides an output proportional to an integration of deviation.
The third term represents the derivative control function, which provides an output proportional to a rate-of-change of devia-
tion.
Respective time constants for the integral and the derivative are completely independent from each other in the above equa-
tion, therefore each control strategy can be achieved without interference.
•Control direction (ITEM 40)
Used to determine the relation between the increasing/decreasing of deviation (= PV − SP) and the manipulated output.
Direct action: The output increases when the deviation increases.
Reverse action: The output decreases when the deviation increases.

•Derivative method (ITEM 41)
Choose either PV derivative or deviation derivative according to the user’s application needs. In general, PV derivative set-
ting, in which the derivative action is inactive at a setpoint change, does not give unnecessary disturbance to the process.
However, the deviation derivative setting may produce a better control result when the secondary loop in cascade control is
set with derivative action.
•Proportional band (ITEM 42)
Choose between 1 and 1000%.
•Integral time (ITEM 43)
Choose between 0.00 to 100.00 minutes. The integral action is cancelled when ‘0.00’ is set.
•Derivative time (ITEM 44)
Choose between 0.00 to 10.00 minutes. The derivative action is cancelled when ‘0’.00 is set.

•Auto-tracking bumpless transition
The integral and derivative terms are adjusted automatically to avoid a bump in the control output signal when the control is
switched from manual to automatic, or when a PID constant is changed.

4.2.6 OUTPUT COMPENSATION (Advanced PID)
Output compensation is a function applied to the output of PID control.
•Output compensation SW (Terminal 07, ITEM 47)
The output compensation is applied in the method specied with ITEM 48 when the switch is turned on. Use the terminal 07
to control it from a sequential control block.
•Output compensation method (ITEM 48)
0 : Without compensation
1 : Addition ..........................An external signal is added to the PID output.
2 : Subtraction.....................An external signal is subtracted from the PID output.
3 : Substitution....................An external signal is supplied as the PID output.
Used also to reroute the PID output for an external computation function. The con-
trol output with output compensation may bump when the control is switched from
Manual to Auto.
•Output compensation connection terminal (ITEM 49)
Used to specify Group and Terminal No. of the external signal used for output compensation.
4.2.7 OUTPUT LIMITS
•Output high/low limits (ITEM 50, 51)
Used to limit the highest and lowest control outputs within certain range. When the output reaches either of the limits, the in-
tegral term is adjusted so that the output remains at the limit. This prevents the integral term acting excessively, and reduces
overshooting caused by integral windup when the deviation is reversed to the direction toward inside of the limits.
•Output rate-of-change limit (ITEM 54) (Advanced PID)
Used to limit the rate-of-change in control output. Typically used to prevent a boiler from abrupt load disturbance by limiting
opening/closing speed of a large steam valve.

4.2.8 PRESET VALUE SW
•Preset value SW (Terminal 08, ITEM 52)
The control output is xed at a preset value when the switch is turned on. Use the terminal 08 to control it from a sequential
control block.
•Preset value (ITEM 53)
Used to specify the preset value. The preset value lies downstream of the output high/low limits and thus not is limited by
them.
4.2.9 OUTPUT HOLD SW (Advanced PID)
•Output hold SW (Terminal 09, ITEM 55)
The control output is held when the switch is turned on. Use the terminal 09 to control it from a sequential control block.
4.2.10 EXTERNAL FEEDBACK (OUTPUT TRACKING) (Advanced PID)
External feedback signal is routed to the PID control output (output tracking) when the switch is turned on. When the function
is reset, the output transitions smoothly to that by PID control.
•External feedback connection terminal (ITEM 56)
Used to specify Group and Terminal No. of the external feedback signal.
•Output hold SW (Terminal 10, ITEM 58)
The control output tracks the external feedback signal when the switch is turned on. Use the terminal 10 to control it from a
sequential control block.
4.2.11 AUTO/MAN SW
•A/M SW (Terminal 11, ITEM 59)
Automatic or manual control is selected by the switch. Use the terminal 11 to control it from a sequential control block.
