Introduction
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the dual
loop Process Controller. The 545 is
user-configurable for any of the
following functions:
• Two independent PID loops
• Single Station Cascade Control
• Single Station Ratio Control
• Feed Forward Control
From its surge-resistant power supply to its rugged construction, the 545
process controller is designed to ensure the integrity of your process with
maximum reliability — hour after hour, day after day. The isolated inputs
and outputs guard against the dangers of electrical interference, the front
face meets NEMA 4X standards for watertight operation and exposure to
corrosive environments, and the solid metal housing and sturdy rubber keys
enhance durability and ESD protection.
The 545 has been engineered to be the industry’s most user–friendly
process controller. With three digital display areas — two offering up to 9
characters of true alphanumerics — the 545 effectively eliminates the
cryptic messages that could confuse even the most experienced operator.
The bright, crisp display is vacuum fluorescent, and offers much better
readability than any other display technology. Additional operator–friendly
features include: custom programmable alarm messages, illuminated keys,
and an easy to use menu system.
The 545 is the most accurate instrument in its class. With a sampling rate of
eight times per second, it is ideal for demanding pressure and flow applica-
tions. The 545 also offers two universal process inputs and modular, field
interchangeable outputs that allow more flexibility than ever before. With
two independent full feature control loops, the 545 can take the place of two
PID controllers; additionally, preprogrammed functions can be called for
cascade, ratio and feed forward applications.
The 545 uses foreground and background loops that facilitate straight
forward operator interface in any of the dual loop modes. It also offers
sophisticated control algorithms, including heuristic adaptive tuning, split
range and duplex outputs (control), and open or closed loop electric actua-
tor control (velocity control).
Specifications and information subject to change without notice.

Introduction
2Chapter 1 545 User's Manual
545 MODES
There are three operating modes for the 545 controller:
OPERATION, the default mode of the controller. When the 545 is operating,
you can change setpoints, select manual control and change output level,
acknowledge alarms and monitor conditions.
SET UP, also referred to as configuration. Here you set up the basic func-
tions of the instrument such as input and output assignments, alarm types
and special functions
TUNING, where you configure function parameters for Proportional, Integral
and Derivation (PID) control. Use this mode periodically to optimize the
control performance of the instrument.
ORDER CODE, PACKAGING INFORMATION
Comparing the product number to the ordering code on page 3 to determine
the outputs and options installed on the 545. The product number is printed
on the label on the top of the controller case.
Included with the 545 are:
• a 545 User’s Manual
• mounting hardware
• 1 sheet engineering unit adhesive labels

• To become more familiar with the 545 interface, continue to Chapter 2.
• For important hardware installation guidelines, see Chapters 3 and 4.
• For a detailed description of all the software menus and parameters of
the 545, follow through Chapter 5 and 6. Appendix 1 can be used as a
guide to these parameters.

Introduction
Note 1:Capability for position proportioning output with slidewire feedback is specifed by ordering 545-11xxAxxx00, 545-33xxAxxx00,
or 545-44xxAxxx00. (Slidewire not required for velocity proportioning.) Note 2: Up to three outputs may be used for alarms. Note 3: All
outputs are interchangeable modules. Note 4: The mechanical relay and solid state relay modules are derated to 0.5 amp at 24 Vac
when used as the fourth output.
