1. Connections & Settings
This chapter discusses the basic settings and connections. Before
contacting the help desk, please be sure to go through these.
1.1 Connecting the E5CC
A connection diagram is displayed on the side of each controller. (See Figure 1.)
The picture below is an example, the type you purchased may deviate from this.
Most connections and numbers are identical, however.
Figure 1: Connection diagram.
Clamps 1 - 2 are the control output for heating / cooling unit
Clamps 4 - 5 - 6 are for the sensor, such as thermocouple or Pt100
Clamps 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 are the alarm / help connections
Clamps 11 - 12 are the power voltage CAUTION! 24V or 100-240V
Clamps 13 through 18 are for options

OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC

1.1.1 Connecting sensor
Pt100
If a Pt100 is used, connect it to clamps 4, 5, & 6. The controller expects
a 3-wire Pt100, which generally has 2 identical colors and 1 different color.
The identical colors go under clamps 5 and 6, the different color under
clamp 4.
If you have a 2-wire Pt100, then connect the reader between 4 and 5, with
a bridging wire between connection 5 and 6.
Thermocouple
If you use a thermocouple, connect it to clamps 5 & 6
Caution! A thermocouple has a + and – Incorrect connection may result in
a negative or an incorrect value.
4-20 mA or 0-10 V
A process value such as 4-20 mA or 0-10 V may be connected to clamps
4&5 and 5&6, respectively.
Figure 2: connecting sensor.
For correct operation of the controller, please always indicate which
type of sensor is connected.
If this is not done correctly, the controller will display an
s-err
(sensor-error) message, or the incorrect value.
For the correct settings, please see Chapter 1.2.1

Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON

1.1.2 Connecting control output
Relay output
If a controller with a relay as control output is used, then this relay will be
confirmed if there is a heating demand (or cooling in a cooling installation).
The relay can switch a maximum of 3 amps; if more current is demanded,
a more powerful relay must be switched.
You may also choose to use a controller with solid-state control output in
combination with a solid-state relay with the correct power.
See Figure 4 for connection diagram.
Solid-State Relay
Solid-state relays are extremely suitable for frequent switching of high
capacities and PID controls. The solid-state relay is controlled with a voltage
of 12 Volts. This voltage is delivered by the controller. So the solid-state
relay can be connected directly to the controller. Please note the polarity
See Figure 5 for connection diagram.
Omron has a comprehensive package of solid-state relays
4-20mA
Some processes need to be controlled by a 4-20mA signal. In this case, you
also need a controller with this type of control output.
Figure 3: Several control outputs.

1.2 Setting up the controller
For the correct operation of the controller, specific parameters need to be
set. The most important settings are discussed in the following chapters.
1.2.1 Determining the sensor type
At the factory, the controller is set to a type-K thermocouple. If you are using
a different sensor type (for instance Pt100), you will find the correct setting
in the table below (Figure 6). Next to the type number is a number
(1 through 29).
Figure 6: Sensor type and its settings.

OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC
10
1.2.2 Setting the sensor type
To set the sensor type, you need to change the parameter in-t (input-
type). Do this as follows:
1. Press the 1st button (level button) at least 3 seconds until in-t is
displayed.
2. The set value is indicated green and will default to 5.
3. If you are using a different sensor type, please enter the number
next to the type used. Chapter 1.2.1
4. You can change the value with the up / down button.
5. After changing the value, press the level button for 3 seconds again.
If s-err is displayed on the controller, then the sensor has not been
connected properly, the incorrect type has been selected, or the sensor has
a malfunction.
1.2.3 Hide or show decimals
To show or hide decimals, first change the sensor type, see Figure 6 in
Chapter 1.2.1. Next to Pt100 in the table is setting 0.1 or 2. If we indicate the
number 0, then the range is -200 to 850 degrees WITHOUT decimals;
number 1 ranges from -199.9 to 500.0, WITH decimals.
Example: If you are using a Pt100, then you will see in the table on page 9
that you can select either the value 0.1 or 2. The difference between these
settings is the range and the decimal point (see also Chapter 1.2.3. )

1.3 Selecting PID / ON-OFF
Do you want accurate controls without the temperature overshooting?
This is easily achieved by setting your controller as PID instead of ON-OFF.
See Chapter 1.3.1 When the controller is set as PID controller, autotune
must be run to get the correct PID values. For autotune, see Chapter 1.3.2.
If accurate temperature control is not imperative, then you may set the
controller to ON-OFF.
Figure 7 illustrates the results of different regulation algorithms.
Figure 7: PID vs ON-OFF
1.3.1 Setting up as PID controller
To set the controller as PID controller, adjust the cntl (control) parameter.
1. Press the 1st button (level button) for 3 seconds until in-t is
displayed.
2. Then briefly press the 2nd button (mode button) several times until
cntl is displayed.
3. As you can see, this parameter reads onof (ON-OFF). With the
arrow up button change this to pid (PID).
4. Then press the 1st button again until the controller resets.
The controller is now set as PID controller. We recommend changing the
PID values. As mentioned earlier, the simplest way to do this is by using
autotune See Chapter 1.3.2.

OMRON Quick Start Instruction E5CC
12
1.3.2 Run Autotune
For accurate controlling the correct PID parameters are important. These
can be calculated by using the autotune function.
1. Using the up and down buttons, set the desired temperature (set
value).
2. Press the 1st button briefly until l.adj is displayed
3. Then press the 2nd button until the at parameter is displayed.
4. Using the up button, select at-2
5. After a few seconds the tune message lights up. As long as this
message is lit, the controller is learning the process to configure the
correct parameters.
6. Then briefly press the 1st button again. The temperature will be
displayed again and the tune message will remain lit.
7. As long as the tune message is lit, the controller is tuning. During
this process the temperature will vary. Do not interrupt the tuning
process.
When the message is no longer displayed, the parameters have been set
correctly and controlling will be stable and economical.
During tuning the temperature may rise above the set value. If this is not
desirable, then you may also select at-1. The controller will now
commence tuning at 40% of its capacity, which will cause tuning to be
slower and less excessive.
Caution: Running autotune may take some time, depending on your
process. To guarantee the correct settings, do not interrupt this process.
If autotune still has not completed after 2 hours, please contact the Omron
help desk.

1.4 Change alarm type
The E5CC has 3 alarm outputs. These can be used to switch to an output
when a specific value is reached.
Some options:
Option 1: Alarm when the temperature rises 5 degrees above the set value.
Option 2: Alarm at fixed value, for instance 150 degrees.
These are two different alarm types. There are 19 alarm types in total, see
Figure 8.
For instance, if you want an alarm to activate at a fixed temperature
(absolute value), then change the alarm type. An absolute upper limit is
found at value 8. In Figure 8 all alarm types are organized in a table.
If you wish to change the alarm type, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the 1st button for 3 seconds until in-t is
displayed.
2. With the 2nd button scroll through the parameters until you reach
alt1 (Alarm type 1).
3. Enter a number with the arrow buttons, referring to Figure 8. This
will be the desired alarm type.
Caution: You have not set an alarm value yet. This is covered in Chapter 1.4.1

Figure 8: Alarm types

Quick Start Instruction E5CC OMRON
15
1.4.1 Setting the alarm
In the previous chapter, the type of alarm was discussed. After setting the
alarm type, you will set an alarm value. Do this as follows.
1. To set the alarms, press the 2nd button several times until al-1 is
displayed. This is the setting for alarm 1.
2. al-2 is the setting for alarm 2 (in some controllers al-1 is not
visible. This has already been assigned to a different function)
3. You can change the alarm value with the up and down button.
Example 1: On your controller, you want to activate an alarm when the
temperature rises 10 degrees above the set value. The alarm type is set to 2.
The SV is set to 40 degrees. The value for the alarm output al-1 then
becomes 10. If SV is exceeded by 10 degrees, the alarm output is
activated
Example 2: On your controller with factory settings you want to activate
an alarm when the temperature rises above 150 degrees. The alarm type
is set to 8. The value for the alarm output al-1 then becomes 150.
If SV rises above 150 degrees, the alarm output is activated

1.5 Setting temperature shift
If the temperature on the controller display deviates from your measured
value (for instance due to ageing of the sensor), you can set a temperature
shift. Enter the shift using the ins (input shift) parameter.
1. Press the 1st button briefly until l.adj is displayed.
2. Then press the second button briefly several times until ins is
displayed.
3. The value entered here shifts the temperature up or down. If you
enter -10, the measured temperature is decreased by 10 degrees.
1.6 Hysteresis
If the controller is set to ON-OFF, you can change the hysteresis.
The hysteresis is a switching point above and under the set point. A higher
value limits the number of switches, but leads to less accuracy in
temperature readings.
1. Go to the hys parameter by briefly pressing the 1st button once
until l.adj is displayed.
2. Then press and hold the 2nd button until hys is displayed.
3. The default value is 1.0. You may increase or decrease this value.
Caution! Hysteresis is not available if the controller is set to PID.
Example: Suppose the desired temperature (set point) is set to 50 degrees.
The controller heats to 50 degrees and then stops. The temperature will fall
below 50 degrees before the controller switches on again. Suppose the
hysteresis is set to 2 degrees; the controller will then switch on at 48 degrees.

2. Advanced features
The Omron E5CC has very powerful and advanced parameters. These are
normally hidden, as they may severely disrupt the process. If you wish to
change advanced parameters in the advanced setting level, lower the
protect level to make them accessible. First follow the instructions in
Chapter 2.1 and then Chapter 2.2
2.1 Releasing advanced setting level / Decrease protect level
To decrease the protect level, change the following settings.
1. Press the 1st and 2nd buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until
oapt is displayed.
2. Press the 2nd button once until icpt (Initial Setting Communication
Protect) is displayed.
3. The default value is 1. Decrease it to 0
4. Now press the 1st and 2nd buttons again until the main screen
reappears. The protect level is now decreased.
The advanced parameters are now accessible. Figure 9 shows the different
protect levels. All shielding options are discussed in the manual which you
can download from our web site.

2.1.1 Hiding parameters / Increasing protect level
You can shield parameters from users or operators. In this example, we
scroll through the settings so only the temperature can be changed.
To increase the protect level, change the following settings.
1. Press the 1st and 2nd buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until
oapt is displayed.
2. The default value is 0. Increase it to 3.
3. Then press the 2nd button until icpt (Initial Setting Communication
Protect) is displayed.
4. The default value is 1. Increase it to 2.
5. Now press the 1st and 2nd buttons again until the main screen
reappears.
The protect level is now increased. You can only change the set value.
Figure 7 shows the different protect levels. Other shielding options are
discussed in the manual which you can download from our web site.
2.2 Advanced settings menu
In the initial parameter settings at the amov (move to advanced level)
parameter, change the value to -169. After a few seconds, the controller
automatically changes to the advanced settings level.
The value -169 is fixed and cannot be changed.
