CONTROL OUTPUTS AND ALARM (OUTA, OUTB, OUTC AND
OUTD)
The controller can have 2, 3 or 4 outputs, which can be configured as
control outputs or alarm outputs. These outputs are identified on the
rear panel of the controller as OUTA, OUTB, OUTC and OUTD.
The output type (control or alarm) is defined in the controller’s
configuration. The output configuration is individual and defined in the
ovt.A, ovt.B and ovt.d parameters respectively.
Output control is the output intended to control the process
temperature. It is possible to configure different outputs as the control
output, however, when the OUTD output is configured as the Analog
Output Control, the other control outputs are disabled.
Control output is Always OFF when an error in the input signal is
detected.
Alarm outputs are used for signaling and/or safety of the process. For
outputs defined as alarm output, it is also necessary to define the alarm
function (see the Alarm Function Description item of this manual).
USB INTERFACE
The USB interface is used for CONFIGURING or MONITORING the
controller. The NConfig software must be used for the configuration. It
makes it possible to create, view, save and open configurations from
the equipment or files in your computer. The tool for saving and
opening configurations in files makes it possible to transfer
configurations between pieces of equipment and to make backup
copies. For specific models, the NConfig software also makes it
possible to update the firmware (internal software) of the controller
through the USB.
For MONITORING purposes you can use any supervisory software
(SCADA) or laboratory software that supports the MODBUS RTU
communication on a serial communications port. When connected to
the USB of a computer, the controller is recognized as a conventional
serial port (COM x). Use the NConfig software or consult the DEVICE
MANAGER in the Windows CONTROL PANEL to identify the COM port
that was assigned to the controller. Consult the mapping of the
MODBUS memory in the controller’s communications manual and the

N960 Controller
NOVUS AUTOMATION 2/6
documentation of your supervisory software to conduct the
MONITORING process.
Follow the procedure below to use the USB communication of the
equipment:
1. Download the NConfig software from our website and install it on
your computer. The USB drivers necessary for operating the
communication will be installed together with the software.
2. Connect the USB cable between the equipment and the computer.
The controller does not have to be connected to a power supply.
The USB will provide enough power to operate the communication
(other equipment functions cannot operate).
3. Open the NConfig software, configure the communication and start
recognition of the device.
The USB interface IS NOT SEPARATE from the signal
input (PV) or the controller’s digital inputs and outputs.
It is intended for temporary use during
CONFIGURATION and MONITORING periods. For the
safety of people and equipment, it must only be used
when the piece of equipment is completely
disconnected from the input/output signals. Using the
USB in any other type of connection is possible but
requires a careful analysis by the person responsible
for installing it.
CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
Prior to first operation the controller should be fully configured. The user
must set basic parameters as temperature type (TYPE), the desired
control set point (SP), the alarms set points (A1SP and A2SP), etc.
The configuration can be performed directly on the controller or through
the USB interface. The NConfig software (free) is the configuration
management tool. Connected to the USB of a Windows computer, the
controller is recognized as a serial communications port (COM) running
with a Modbus RTU protocol.
Through the USB interface, even if disconnected from the power supply,
the configuration performed in a piece of equipment can be can be saved
in a file and repeated in other pieces of equipment that require the same
configuration.
PARAMETERS FLOW CHART
The programming parameters are organized in 5 different levels
(parameter groups):
- Operation level
- Tuning level
- Program level
- Input level
- Calibration level
When Turned On, the controller displays the first screen of the
Operation Cycle. This screen shows on the red display (top), the
measured temperature value (PV) and also the Set Point value of the
process (desired temperature for the process) on the green display
(bottom). During operation, the controller continues showing this
screen. In order to access other screens of this cycle, just press .
All other Cycles are accessed when changes are required to the
controller’s configuration. In order to access these cycles just hold
down the key for approximately three seconds. After this time, the
controller displays the first parameter of the next cycle (Tuning Cycle).
Holding the key down for three seconds, the next cycle (Input Cycle) is
also accessed.
Release the key in the desired cycle. Press the key again to
access all other parameters of this cycle. The key allows to return
parameters within the cycle.
The upper display shows the parameter and the lower display shows
the value of this parameter. The and keys allow the operator
to change the value of the shown parameter.
After accessing the last parameter of the cycle, the controller returns to
the Operation cycle, indicating the temperature process and SP. With
the keyboard inactive for more than 20 seconds, the controller also
returns to the Operation cycle.
The value of the changed parameter is saved to permanent memory
and used by the controller when going to the next parameter, or if no
key is pressed within 20 seconds.
PROTECTION OF CONFIGURATION
The controller allows to protect the configuration elaborated by the
user, avoiding unauthorized changes. The parameter Protection
(PROt), in the Calibration level, determines the protection strategy,
limiting the access to particular levels, as shown by the table below.

Table 2 –Levels of Protection for the Configuration
Access Password
The protected levels, when accessed, request the user to provide the
Access Password for granting permission to change the configuration
of the parameters on these levels.
The prompt PASS precedes the parameters on the protected levels.
If no password is entered, the parameters of the protected levels can
only be visualized.
The Access Password is defined by the user in the parameter
Password Change (PAS.(), present in the Calibration level.
The new controllers leave the factory with the access password defined
as 1111.
Protection of the access password
The controller provides a security system that helps prevent input of
numerous passwords trying to get the correct password. When 5 invalid
passwords in a row are identified, the controller stops accepting
passwords for 10 minutes.
Master Password
The Master Password is intended for allowing the user to define a new
password in the event of it being forgotten. The Master Password
doesn’t grant access to all parameters, only to the Password Change
parameter (PAS(). After defining the new password, the protected
parameters may be accessed (and modified) using this new password.
The master password is made up by the last three digits of the serial
number of the controller added to the number 9000.
As an example, for the equipment with serial number 07154321, the
master password is 9 3 2 1.

TYPE OF ADOPTED PROGRAM
Two forms of program execution are available in the controller. The
Program Type (Pr.Ty) parameter allows user to choose between
Ramp to Level (rate) and a complete Ramp and Level program
(Prog). User can also choose to not execute any type of program
(none).
PROGRAMS OF RAMP AND SOAK
Available when the Rate option in the Pr.Ty parameter is selected.
The controller allows the process temperature to vary gradually from an
initial value until a specified final value, determining a Ramp-like behavior.
The initial value of the Ramp will always be the process initial
temperature (PV). The final value will always be the value defined in SP.
User determines the increase (or decrease) speed of the ramp in the
“rAtE” parameter, which defines a temperature variation rate in degrees
per minute. In order to disable the Ramp function, program the value 0.0.
When the SP value is reached, the controller starts to control the
process in SP (level) by an interval of time or indefinitely.
The tSP parameter, adjustable between 0 and 9999 minutes,
determines the level duration. At the end of the level, the control is
disabled (run = no) and all outputs are turned off. With value 0in tSP
the control continues indefinitely without time limit.
As alarm can be associated at the end of the level. The End.t Alarm
Function determines that an alarm is activated at the end of the level.
Valid only with tsp ≠ 0.
Fig. 2 - Level Ramp Function
Upon returning from a power failure, the controller automatically restarts
the execution of the Ramp to Level function. If the PV value is smaller
than the SP value, the Ramp restarts at this point until it reaches SP. If
the temperature is equal to SP, Level execution is restarted.
COMPLETE LEVEL AND RAMP PROGRAM
Available when the Prog option is selected in the Pr.Ty parameter.
The controller allows to elaborate one temperature ramp and level
program. This program is created from the SP value definition and time
intervals, defining up to nine (9) program segments. The figure below
shows a program model with 9 segments:
Fig. 03 - Example of a ramp and level program
The program created is permanently stored in the controller’s memory.
It can be modified freely, executed when necessary and repeated as
often as necessary.
In order to execute a program:
1- Turn off outputs (rvn= NO);
2- Enable execution of parameter E.Pr= yes;
3- Trigger start turning on outputs: (rvn= yes).
Once a program is initiated, the controller starts to automatically
generate the SP values defined for each program segment. SP
adjustment in the indication screen remains blocked.
PROGRAM TOLERANCE FUNCTION - PTOL
The “PtoL” program tolerance program defines the maximum error
limit between the PV and SP values during program execution. If this
limit is exceeded, the timing of the segment (Pt1…Pt9) is interrupted
until the error is within the established tolerance. With a value > 0, the
user indicates in the program that priority must be given to PV
regarding the determined time values.
If zero tolerance (Ptol = 0) is programmed, the controller executes
the program defined without considering eventual errors between PV
and SP. Thus, the user defines that the priority be given to the program
execution time.
PROGRAMS WITH FEW SEGMENTS
In order to execute a program with a smaller number of segments, just
program 0 (zero) for the time interval that follows the last segment of
the desired program.

NOVUS AUTOMATION 5/6
SUCCESSIVE REPETITIONS OF A PROGRAM
The elaborated program can be repeated several times, always
restarting immediately after each execution.
The rPt.p (rePeatProgram) parameter, in the Program cycle,
configures the number of times the program must be REPEATED. It
determines the number of executions beyond the initial execution.
With zero (0), the program is executed only one time. It will not be
repeated.
Important: After the last execution of the program, all controller outputs
are turned off and the RUN parameter changes to OFF.
DETERMINATION OF PID PARAMETERS
During the automatic tuning the process is controlled in ON / OFF
mode in the programmed SP - the Ramp to Level function is disabled.
The automatic tuning may take many minutes to the concluded,
particularly in slow processes. Some recommendations for the
automatic tuning process are:
Program SP to a value close to the point at which the process
will operate after tuning.
Enable automatic tuning on the “Atvn” screen by selecting
yes.
Program the value yes on the “rvn” screen.
The “TUNE” indicator on the display stays lit until the completion of the
automatic tuning process.
During the execution of automatic tuning, large oscillations can be
induced in the process around the set point. Check if the process
supports these oscillations.
If the automatic tuning does not result in a satisfactory control, refer to
Table 3 for guidelines on how to correct the behavior of the process.

ALARMS FUNCTIONS
The minimum and maximum alarms are used to signalize extreme
temperature values. These extreme values are defined on the “A1SP”
and “A2SP” screens.
Differential alarms are used to signalize deviations between temperature
and set point control (SP). Values defined by user on the “A1SP” and
“A2SP” screens represent the values of these deviations.
Initial blocking prevents alarm activation when the controller is turned
on until the temperature reaches the SP value for the first time.
The error alarm in the sensor allows to signalize errors in the sensor.
The Level End Function (End.t) determines that the alarm be activated
the end of the level.
With Event Alarm, an alarm is activated during execution of a certain
program segment.
Table 4 illustrates the operation of each alarm function, using alarm 1
as an example, and presents its identification code on the “A1Fv” e
“A2Fv” screens.
