NOTICE
Be sure to obser e these precautions to ensure safe use.
Do not use the product in places where explosi e or flammable gases may be present.
Ne er disassemble, repair or modify the product.
Tighten the terminal screws properly.
Use the specified size of solderless terminals for wiring.
Use the product within the rated supply oltage.
Use the product within the rated load.
The life expectancy of the output relay aries considerably according to its switching capacity and
operating conditions. Be sure to use the output relay within its rated load and electrical life expecĆ
tomcy. If the output relay is used beyond its life expectancy, its contacts may become fused or burned.
If you remo e the controller from its case, ne er touch nor apply shock to the electronic parts inside.
Do not co er the E5CKĆT. (Ensure sufficient space around the controller to allow heat radiation.)
Do not use the controller in the following places:
Ă•Places subject to icing, condensation, dust, corrosi e gas (especially sulfide gas or ammonia gas).
Ă•Places subject ibration and large shocks.
Ă•Places subject to splashing liquid or oil atmosphere.
Ă•Places subject to intense temperature changes.
Ă•Places subject to heat radiation from a furnace.
Be sure to wire properly with correct polarity of terminals.
When wiring input or output lines to your controller, keep the following points in mind to reduce the
influence from inducti e noise:
Ă•Allow adequate space between the high oltage/current power lines and the input/output lines.
Ă•A oid parallel or common wiring with high oltage sources and power lines carrying large currents.
Ă•Using separating pipes, ducts, and shielded line is also useful in protecting the controller, and its
lines from inducti e noise.
Cleaning: Do not use paint thinner or organic sol ents. Use standard grade alcohol to clean the prodĆ
uct.
Use a oltage (100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz). At power ON, the prescribed oltage le el must be
attained within two seconds.
Allow as much space as possible between the controller and de ices that generate a powerful high
frequency (highĆfrequency welders, highĆfrequency sewing machines, etc.) or surge. These de ices
may cause malfunctions.
If there is a large powerĆgenerating peripheral de ice and any of its lines near the controller, attach
a surge suppressor or noise filter to the de ice to stop the noise affecting the controller system. In
particular, motors, transformers, solenoids and magnetic coils ha e an inductance component, and
therefore can generate ery strong noise.
When mounting a noise filter on the power supply to the controller, be sure to first check the filter's
oltage and current capacity, and then mount the filter as close as possible to the controller.

E5CK

Use within the following temperature and humidity ranges:
Ă•Temperature: Ć10C to 55C, humidity: 35%RH to 85%RH (with no icing or condensation)
If the controller is installed inside a control board, the ambient temperature must be kept to under
55C, including the temperature around the controller.
If the controller is subjected to heat radiation, use a fan to cool the surface of the controller to under
55C.
Store within the following temperature and humidity ranges:
Ă•Temperature: Ć25C to 65C, humidity: 35%RH to 85%RH (with no icing or condensation)
Ne er place hea y objects on, or apply pressure to the controller that may cause it to deform and deteĆ
riorate during use or storage.
A oid using the controller in places near a radio, tele ision set, or wireless installation. These de ices
can cause radio disturbances which ad ersely affect the performance of the controller.

The output functions of the E5CKĆT do not operate for fi e seconds after the
E5CKĆT is turned ON.
The E5CKĆT supports the following fi e outputs:
Control output 1
Control output 2
Auxiliary output 1
Transfer output
When using control output 1 and 2, set the output unit (sold separately).
Nine output units are a ailable to suit the output circuit configration.
When using transfer output, add on the communication unit (E53ĆAKF).
Ă•The E5CK-T supports the following twel e output functions:
Control output (heat), Control output (cool), Alarms 1 to 3, LBA,
Time Signals 1 and 2, Program End, Stage Output,
Error 1 (input error), Error 2 (A/D con erter error)
Ă•Assign these output functions to control output 1, control output 2 and
auxiliary output 1.
Ă•Only control output (heat), control output (cool), alarms 1 to 3 and LBA
can be assigned to control outputs 1 and 2. Only alarms 1 to 3, LBA, error
1 and error 2 can be assigned to auxiliary output 1.
In the example on the pre ious page, control output (heat)" is assigned
to "control output 1", "alarm 1" is assigned to "control output 2", and
"alarm 2" is assigned to "auxiliary output 1". Accordingly, the configuĆ
ration is such that heating control output is connected to control output
1, and alarm output is connected to control output 2 and auxiliary outĆ
put 1.
Ă•When the control is heating and cooling control, assign "control output
(cool)" to "control output 1" or "control output 2".
Ă•The E5AK-T supports the following four transfer outputs:
Present SP, Process alue, Heating side manipulated ariable,
Cooling side manipulated ariable
Ă•These transfer outputs can be output after being scaled. Setting of an upĆ
per limit alue smaller than the lower limit alue is allowed, so re erse
scaling can also be carried out.

The number of patterns and steps in each pattern can be specified in paĆ
rameters.
Pattern 3
Pattern 1
Pattern 0
Step 0 Step 1 Step 2 Step 15
Ă•Generally, the time setup method" is used to configure programs. By
this method, set points at each step and time are used as program eleĆ
ments. Howe er, the ramp rise rate setup method" can also be used. By
this method, the set point, ramp time and soak times are used as program
elements.
Ă•Generally, the target patterns are specified before the program is
executed.
Ă•In parameter setup, you can specify repeated execution of the same patĆ
tern (Repeat) or consecuti e execution of all patterns 0 to 4 (Run all).
Ă•During program operation, steps can be skipped (Ad ance) and the conĆ
trol monitoring can be paused (Hold).
Ă•Alarms that are assigned as outputs operate referenced to the alarm alĆ
ues preset to each pattern.
Ă•Time signals, program end and stage output can be output according to
output assignment.
Ă•ON/OFF signals are output as time signals according to the timer that
takes a specified step as its start point.

1.4 Parameters and Menus
E5CKĆT parameters are distributed between the following ten modes:
Protect mode
Manual mode
Le el 0 mode
Program mode
Le el 1 mode
Le el 2 mode
Setup mode
Expansion mode
Option mode
Calibration mode
The settings of parameters in each of eight modes (excluding the protect
mode and manual mode) can be checked and modified by selection on the
menu display.
The protect function is for pre enting unwanted modification of parameĆ
ters, and switching between run and reset operation or auto and manual
operation.
In this mode, the controller can be switched to manual operation. The maĆ
nipulated ariable can be manipulated manually only in this mode.
Set the controller to this mode during normal operation. In this mode, you
can change the set point and pattern during operation, and execute step
operation (e.g. ad ance). You can only monitor (not change) the process
alue, step No., standby time, pattern elapsing time, pattern execution
count and manipulated ariable.
This is the programming mode. In this mode, you can set the number of
steps used in each pattern, pattern execution count, alarm alues, set
points for each step, step time, and time signals for two steps.
This is the main mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can execute
AT (autoĆtuning), and set up the control period, PID parameters.
This is the auxiliary mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can set
the parameters for limiting the manipulated ariable, switch between the
remote and local modes, and set the loop break alarm (LBA), alarm hysterĆ
esis and the digital filter alue of inputs.
This is the mode for setting the basic specifications. In this mode, you can
set parameters that must be checked or set before operation such as the
input type, scaling, output assignments and direct/re erse operation.

This is the mode for setting expanded functions. In this mode, you can set
SP setting limitter, switching between ad anced PID control or ON/OFF
control, program time unit, selection of step time/rate of rise programĆ
ming, time unit of ramp rise rate, and the time for automatic return to the
monitoring display.
This is the mode for setting optional functions. You can select this mode
only when an option unit is mounted in the controller. In this mode, you
can set the communications conditions, transfer output and e ent input
parameters to match the type of option unit mount in the controller.
This mode is pro ided so that the user can calibrate inputs and output.
When calibrating input, the selected input type is calibrated. Whereas,
transfer output can be calibrated only when the communication unit
(E53ĆCKF) is set in the controller.

Ă•If you select [ ], [ ], [ ] or [ ] in the menu display, the
le el 0, program, le el 1 and le el 2 modes, respecti ely, are selected.
These modes are selected with control still continuing.
Ă•If you select[ĂĂ ] [ĂĂ ] [ĂĂ ] or [ĂĂ ] in the menu display, the
setup, expansion, option and calibration modes, respecti ely, are seĆ
lected.
When these modes are selected, the control is reset. So, control outputs
and auxiliary output are turned OFF. When another mode is selected
while in these modes control, reset is canceled.
Ă•To set the controller to the protect mode or to return to the le el 0 mode
from the protect mode, press the RUN/RST key and the key simultaĆ
neously for 1 second minimum.
Ă•To set the controller to the manual mode, press the key for one seĆ
cond minimum with the key held down in the le el 0 to 2 modes. To
return to the le el 0 mode in the manual mode, press the key for one
second minimum with the key pressed. Be sure to press the key
first in this operation.
Ă•When the controller is not in the manual mode, each press of the key
switches the parameter in the respecti e mode.

Ă•If you press the key when at the final parameter, the display returns
to the top parameter for the current mode.
Ă•When you change parameter settings or contents, specify the parameter
using the or keys, and either lea e the setting for at least two
seconds or press the key. This fixes the setting.
Ă•When another mode is selected, the content of the parameters before the
mode was selected is fixed.
Ă•When you turn the power OFF, you must first fix the settings and paramĆ
eter contents (by pressing the key or selecting another mode). The
settings and parameter contents are sometimes not changed by merely
pressing the or keys.
