PRECAUTIONS ON SAFETY
F Marks For Ensuring Safe Use and Their Meanings
This manual uses the following marks to indicate precautions for ensuring that the
E5EK-T is used safely.
The precautions indicated below describe important information regarding safety.
Be sure to follow the instructions described in these precautions.

NOTICE
Be sure to observe these precautions to ensure safe use.
F Do not use the product in places where explosive or flammable gases may be present.
F Never disassemble, repair or modify the product.
F Tighten the terminal screws properly.
F Use the specified size of solderless terminals for wiring.
F Use the product within the rated supply voltage.
F Use the product within the rated load.
F The life expectancy of the output relay varies considerably according to its switching capacity
and operating conditions. Be sure to use the output relay within its rated load and electrical life
expectancy. If the output relay is used beyond its life expectancy, its contacts may become fused or
burned.
F If you remove the controller from its case, never touch nor apply shock to the electronic parts
inside.
F Do not cover the E5EK-T. (Ensure sufficient space around the controller to allow heat radiation.)
F Do not use the controller in the following places:
• Places subject to icing, condensation, dust, corrosive gas (especially sulfide gas or ammonia gas).
• Places subject vibration and large shocks.
• Places subject to splashing liquid or oil atmosphere.
• Places subject to intense temperature changes.
• Places subject to heat radiation from a furnace.
F Be sure to wire properly with correct polarity of terminals.
F When wiring input or output lines to your controller, keep the following points in mind to reduce
the influence from inductive noise:
• Allow adequate space between the high voltage/current power lines and the input/output lines.
• Avoid parallel or common wiring with high voltage sources and power lines carrying large cur-
rents.
• Using separating pipes, ducts, and shielded line is also useful in protecting the controller, and its
lines from inductive noise.
F Cleaning: Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents. Use standard grade alcohol to clean the
product.
F Use a voltage (100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz). At power ON, the prescribed voltage level must be
attained within two seconds.
F Allow as much space as possible between the controller and devices that generate a powerful high
frequency (high-frequency welders, high-frequency sewing machines, etc.) or surge. These devices
may cause malfunctions.
F If there is a large power-generating peripheral device and any of its lines near the controller, at-
tach a surge suppressor or noise filter to the device to stop the noise affecting the controller sys-
tem. In particular, motors, transformers, solenoids and magnetic coils have an inductance compo-
nent, and therefore can generate very strong noise.
F When mounting a noise filter on the power supply to the controller, be sure to first check the fil-
ter’s voltage and current capacity, and then mount the filter as close as possible to the controller.

V
E5EK

F Use within the following temperature and humidity ranges:

• Temperature: -10_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 un-
der 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.
F Store within the following temperature and humidity ranges:
• Temperature: -25_C to 65_C, humidity: 35%RH to 85%RH (with no icing or condensation)
F Never place heavy objects on, or apply pressure to the controller that may cause it to deform and
deteriorate during use or storage.
F Avoid using the controller in places near a radio, television set, or wireless installation. These
devices can cause radio disturbances which adversely affect the performance of the controller.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

J How to use keys The following describes basic key operations.

F RUN/RST key To change to run operation from the reset status, press this key for one
second minimum.
To change to the reset status from run operation, press this key for two
seconds minimum.

F key The functions of this key change according to how long it is pressed. If
the key is pressed for less than one second, the parameters are switched.
If the key is pressed for one second minimum, the menu display ap-
pears. In key operations from here on, “press the key” refers to pressing
the key for less than one second.
For details on switching of parameters and menu display items, see
page 1-10.

F key Each press of key increments or advances the values or settings on

the No.2 display, while each press of the key decrements or returns
the values or settings on the No.2 display.

Functions vary, for example, when the RUN/RST key is held down simul-
taneously with the key, or a key is held down continuously. For de-
tails, see page 1-10. Also, chapters 3 and 4 describe examples using vari-
ous key combinations.

However, note that as control output 1 is used as the open output and
control output 2 is used as close output on a position-proportional
type controller (E5EK-TPRR2), control outputs 1 and 2 cannot be
used as assignment destinations. Also, of the output functions, control
output (heat), control output (cool), HBA and LBA are disabled.
• On a standard type controller, there are restrictions on how assign-
ment destinations (control output 1, control output 2, auxiliary out-
put 1, and auxiliary output 2) can be used. For details, see Chapter 3
Basic Operation/3.3 Setting Output Specifications (page 3-7).
• In the example on the previous page, “control output (heat)” is as-
signed to “control output 1”, “alarm 1” is assigned to “control output
2”, and “alarm 2” is assigned to “auxiliary output 1”. Accordingly, the
configuration is such that heating control output is connected to con-
trol output 1, and alarm output is connected to control output 2 and
auxiliary output 1.
• Control outputs 1 and 2 are used depending on the differences in con-
trol method as follows:

F Transfer output • The E5EK-T supports the following five transfer outputs:
Set point, Process value, Heating side manipulated variable,
Cooling side manipulated variable, Valve opening
However, note that heating/cooling side manipulated variables can be
output only on standard type controllers, and valve opening can be out-
put only on position-proportional type controllers.
• These transfer outputs can be output after being scaled. Setting of an
upper limit value smaller than the lower limit value is allowed, so re-
verse scaling can also be carried out.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.3 Program

J How programs E5EK-T allows you to configure programs made up of a maximum of

four patterns (pattern 0 to 3).
are structured
The number of steps (16 maximum) in each pattern can be specified in
parameters.

Pattern 3

Pattern 1

Pattern 0

Step 0 Step 1 Step 2 Step 15

• Generally, the “time setup method” is used to configure programs. By

this method, set points at each step and time are used as program ele-
ments. However, 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.

J Program opera- • Generally, the target patterns are specified before the program is
executed.
tion
• In parameter setup, you can specify repeated execution of the same
pattern (Repeat) or consecutive execution of all patterns 0 to 3 (Run
all).

F Step operation • During program operation, steps can be skipped (Advance) and the
control monitoring can be paused (Hold).

F Wait operation • When the wait width is specified in parameter setup, the program
does not go to the next step and waits until the PV reaches the speci-
fied time (wait width) at the end of each step.

J Alarm output • Alarms that are assigned as outputs operate referenced to the alarm
values preset to each pattern.

J Program output • Time signals, program end and stage output can be output according
to output assignment.
• 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

1.4 Parameters and Menus

J Parameter types E5EK-T parameters are distributed between the following ten modes:
Protect mode
Manual mode
Level 0 mode
Program mode
Level 1 mode
Level 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.

F Protect mode The protect function is for preventing unwanted modification of param-
eters, and switching between run and reset operation or auto and
manual operation.

F Manual mode In this mode, the controller can be switched to manual operation. The
manipulated variable can be manipulated manually only in this mode.

F Level 0 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. advance). You can only monitor (not change) the
process value, step No., standby time, pattern elapsing time, pattern
execution count and manipulated variable.

F Program mode This is the programming mode. In this mode, you can set the number of
steps used in each pattern, pattern execution count, alarm values, set
points for each step, step time, and time signals for two steps.

F Level 1 mode This is the main mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can
execute AT (auto-tuning), and set up the control period, PID parame-
ters and heater burnout alarm (HBA) conditions.

F Level 2 mode This is the auxiliary mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can
set the parameters for limiting the manipulated variable, switch be-
tween the remote and local modes, and set the loop break alarm (LBA),
alarm hysteresis and the digital filter value of inputs.

F Setup mode 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/reverse opera-
tion.

1--9
E5EK

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

F Expansion mode This is the mode for setting expanded functions. In this mode, you can
set SP setting limitter, switching between advanced PID control or ON/
OFF control, program time unit, selection of step time/rate of rise pro-
gramming, time unit of ramp rise rate, and the time for automatic re-
turn to the monitoring display.

F Option mode 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 event
input parameters to match the type of option unit mount in the control-
ler. Heater burnout alarm function and position-proportional travel
time are also located in this mode.

F Calibration mode This mode is provided 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
(E53-AKF) is set in the controller.

J Selecting modes The following diagram shows the order in which modes are selected.

• To select the menu display in any of the above modes (excluding the
protect mode and manual mode), press the key for 1 second mini-
mum. When you have selected the menu display, the previous mode is
selected. For example, if you selected the menu display while in the
level 0 mode, the No.2 display changes to [ ] as shown on the left.
• To move to the desired mode after you have entered the menu display,
select the desired mode using the keys and hold down the
key for one second minimum. The display switches to the first
parameter of the mode that you specified.

E5EK

1.4 Parameters and Menus

• Protected modes cannot be selected. Also, the menu display does not
appear when modes are protected up to the program mode.
• If you select [ ], [ ], [ ] or [ ] in the menu display,
the level 0, program, level 1 and level 2 modes, respectively, are se-
lected.
These modes are selected with control still continuing.
• If you select[ ][ ][ ] or [ ] in the menu display, the
setup, expansion, option and calibration modes, respectively, are se-
lected.
When these modes are selected, the control is reset. So, control out-
puts and auxiliary output are turned OFF. When another mode is se-
lected while in these modes control, reset is canceled.
• To set the controller to the protect mode or to return to the level 0
mode from the protect mode, press the RUN/RST key and the key
simultaneously for 1 second minimum.
• To set the controller to the manual mode, press the key for one
second minimum with the key held down in the level 0 to 2
modes. To return to the level 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.

J Selecting • When the controller is not in the manual mode, each press of the
key switches the parameter in the respective mode.
parameters
Parameter Parameter Parameter Parameter
1 2 3 n

J Fixing settings • If you press the key when at the final parameter, the display re-
turns to the top parameter for the current mode.
• When you change parameter settings or contents, specify the parame-
ter using the or keys, and either leave the setting for at least
two seconds or press the key. This fixes the setting.
• When another mode is selected, the content of the parameters before
the mode was selected is fixed.
• When you turn the power OFF, you must first fix the settings and pa-
rameter contents (by pressing the key or selecting another
mode). The settings and parameter contents are sometimes not
changed by merely pressing the or keys.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.5 About the Communications Function

The E5EK-T can be provided with a communications function that al-

lows you to check and set controller parameters from a host computer.
If the communications function is required, add on the communications
unit.
For details on the communications function, refer to Chapter 6.

F RS-232C When using the communications function on the RS-232C interface,

add on the communications unit (E53-AK01).

F RS-422 When using the communications function on the RS-422 interface, add
on the communications unit (E53-AK02).

F RS-485 When using the communications function on the RS-485 interface, add
on the communications unit (E53-AK03).

1.6 About Calibration

1.6 About Calibration

The E5EK-T controller is calibrated before shipment from the factory.

So, the user need not calibrate the E5EK-T controller during regular
use.

However, if the E5EK-T controller must be calibrated by the user, use

the parameters provided for the user to calibrate temperature input,
analog input (voltage, current) and transfer output. In this case, note
that the results of calibration will not be assured.
Also, note that calibration data is updated to the latest value each time
that the E5EK-T controller is calibrated. Calibration data set before
shipment from the factory cannot be returned to after calibration by
the user.

F Calibrating The input type selected in parameters is the item to be calibrated. The
inputs E5EK-T is provided with the following four calibration parameters:
• Thermocouple
• Platinum resistance thermometer
• Current input
• Voltage input
Two parameters are provided for thermocouple and voltage input.

F Calibrating trans- Transfer output also can be calibrated when the communications unit
fer output (E53-AKF) is added on.

F Registering cal- When calibrating each item, the calibration data is temporarily regis-
ibration data tered. This data can be registered as final calibration data only when all
items have been newly calibrated. So, all items must be temporarily
registered when the E5EK-T controller is calibrated.
When registering data, information regarding whether or not calibra-
tion has been carried out is also registered.

To calibrate these items, the user must prepare separate measuring de-
vices and equipment. For details on handling these measuring devices
and equipment, refer to the respective manuals.

For details, see Chapter 7 Calibration.

CHAPTER 2 PREPARATIONS

2.1 Setup

• On a standard type controller, set up the output units for control out-
puts 1 and 2 before mounting the controller.
• On a position-proportional type controller, the relay output unit is
already mounted. So, this setup operation is unnecessary. (That is, do
not replace the currently mounted unit with other output units.)
• When setting up the output units, draw out the internal mechanism
from the housing, and insert the output units into the sockets for con-
trol outputs 1 and 2.

J Draw-out When drawing out the internal mechanism from the housing, prepare a
Phillips screwdriver matched to the size of the screw on the lower part
of the front panel.
(1) Press down on the hook on the top of the front panel, and turn the
Phillips screwdriver to the left to loosen the screw on the lower
part of the front panel.

(2) Draw out the internal mechanism towards you holding both sides
of the front panel.

CHAPTER 3 BASIC OPERATION

3.1 Convention Used in this Chapter

This chapter describes basic E5EK-T operations such as how to set up

parameters, start and stop operation, and adjust control operation.
For more complex control examples, refer to Chapter 4 Applied Opera-
tion and Chapter 5 Parameters.

The descriptions in this chapter follow the order of basic operations

shown in the flow above. Examples of operation of each of the items are
described up to completion of parameter setup. However, you must
move to the top parameter of the following Setting. For example, when
you have finished “setting input specifications” and you want to “set
output specifications,” move to the top parameter of “setting output
specifications” from the bottom parameter of “setting input specifica-
tions.”
For details on moving to parameters between items, refer Chapter, Se-
lecting modes and Selecting parameters (page 1-10).

F Setup examples This description assumes that the controller is operated under the fol-
lowing conditions.
• A K thermocouple is used as the input.
• Control output (heat), alarm 1 and alarm 2 functions are assigned to
“control output 1,” “control output 2” and auxiliary output 1, respec-
tively. Of these, only control output 1 and auxiliary output 1 are used.
• The relay output unit is mounted at control output 1.
• The upper-limit alarm is set as alarm 2. The alarm is output when the
temperature exceeds 10_C with respect to the PV.
• The program is made up of one pattern comprising four steps.

• With analog input, the “scaling upper limit”, “scaling lower limit”
and “decimal point” parameters need to be set.

J Input type • Set the type No. (0 to 21) in the “input type” parameter (Set up

J Temperature input
F Temperature unit • To switch the temperature unit from “_C” to“_F” when input is tem-
perature, switch the “_C/_F selection” parameter (setup mode) from
“ ” to “ ”.

F Temperature • When input is temperature input, the upper and lower limit values of
input shift the sensor can be shifted linearly. For example, if both the upper and
lower limit values are shifted by 1.2_C, the process value (before shift)
is regarded as 201.2_C after shift when input is 200_C before shift.
• To set input shift, set shift values in the “input shift upper limit” and
“input shift lower limit” parameters (level 2 mode).

J Analog input • When the analog input (the voltage input and current input) is se-
lected, scaling matched to the control is required.
• The “scaling upper limit”, “scaling lower limit” and “decimal point”
parameters (setup mode) are used for scaling. These parameters can-
not be used when the temperature input type is selected.
• The “scaling upper limit” parameter sets the physical quantity to be
expressed by the upper limit value of input, and the “scaling lower
limit” parameter sets the physical quantity to be expressed by the
lower limit value of input. The “decimal point” parameter sets the
number of digits past the decimal point.
• The following figure shows a scaling example of 4 to 20 mA input. Af-
ter scaling, the humidity can be directly read. In this case, the “deci-
mal point” parameter is set to “1”.

3.3 Setting Output Specifications

3.3 Setting Output Specifications

Some output specifications are different according to controller type,

standard or position-proportional. The following table summarizes
which output-related parameter settings are supported.
Position-
Parameter Standard proportional
Type Type
Control output 1 assignment F
Control output 2 assignment F
Auxiliary output 1 assignment F F
Auxiliary output 2 assignment F F
Direct/reverse operation F F
Control period (heat) F
Control period (cool) F

(F Indicates that an output specification is supported.)

J Output assignments
Output assignments are described according to controller type.
F Standard type • Thirteen outputs are supported. These functions are assigned to con-
trol outputs 1 and 2, and auxiliary outputs 1 and 2.
• Restrictions on assignment destination are placed on some of the out-
puts.
• The following table shows where outputs may be assigned to.
Assignment Control Output Auxiliary Output

Time signal 1 F F F F
Time signal 2 F F F F
Program end F F F F
Stage output F F F F
Error 1 : Input error F F
Error 2 : A/D convertor error F F

With control output (cool), the conditions for switching from standard control
to heating and cooling control are reached when the output function is assigned
at the cooling side during heating and cooling control.

In other words, heating and cooling control is carried out when con-
trol output (cool) is assigned, and standard control is carried out
when output is not assigned. For details on heating and cooling con-
trol, see Chapter 4 Applied Operation/4.1 Selecting the Control Meth-
od (page 4-2).

CHAPTER 3 BASIC OPERATION

• Factory settings are as follows:

control output 1 = Control output (heat)
control output 2 = Alarm 1
auxiliary output 1 = Alarm 2
auxiliary output 2 = Alarm 3
• Output assignments are set in the “control output 1 assignment”,
“control output 2 assignment”, “ auxiliary output 1 assignment” and
“ auxiliary output 2 assignment” parameters (setup mode).

F Position-propor- • Position-proportional type controllers support nine output functions.

Error 2 : A/D converter error F F

J Direct/reverse • “Direct operation” (or normal operation) refers to control where the ma-
operation nipulated variable is increased according to the increase in the process
value. Alternatively, “reverse operation” refers to control where the ma-
nipulated variable is decreased according to the decrease in the process
value.
For example, when the process value (PV) (temperature), is lower
than the set point (SP) (temperature), in a heating control system, the
manipulated variable increases by the difference between the PV and
SP values.
Accordingly, this becomes “reverse operation” in a heating control
system, or alternatively, “direct operation” in a cooling control sys-
tem.
• Direct/reverse operation is set in the “direct/reverse operation” pa-
rameter (setup mode). Default is “ : reverse operation”.

J Control period • On position-proportional type controllers, this item cannot be set.

• On a standard type controller, when the output unit is for pulse out-
put such as relay output, set the pulse output cycle (control period).
Though a shorter control period provides better control performance,
the control period should be set to 20 seconds minimum taking the
life expectancy of the output unit into consideration when the output
unit is for relay output.
• The control period is set in the “control period (heat)” parameter
(level 1 mode). Default of the “control period” parameter is “20:20
seconds.” Default of the “control period (cool)” output function is not
assigned. So, the “control period (cool)” parameter cannot be set.

CHAPTER 3 BASIC OPERATION

3.4 Setting Alarm Type

• Three alarm outputs are supported: alarms 1 to 3. Of these, only the

alarm assigned as the output can be used.
• Alarm output conditions are determined according to the combina-
tion of the “alarm type”, “alarm value” and “alarm hysteresis” pa-
rameter settings.
• The contact conditions for when alarm output is ON can be set to
“open” or “closed” in the “close in alarm/open in alarm” parameter.

J Alarm type • The following table shows the alarm types supported by the E5EK-T
controller and their respective operations.

• Alarm types are set independently for each alarm in the “alarm 1 to
3” parameters (setup mode). Default is “2: Upper-limit alarm (devi-
ation)”.

J Alarm value • Alarm values are indicated by “X” in the table above. Alarm output
operation differs according to whether the value of the alarm is posi-
tive or negative.
• Alarm values are built into the program and are set for each pattern.
For details, see 3.5 Setting Patterns” (page 3-14).

3--10
E5EK

3.4 Setting Alarm Type

J Alarm hysteresis • The hysteresis of alarm outputs when alarms are switched ON/OFF
can be set as follows:
Upper limit alarm Lower limit alarm

Alarm hysteresis Alarm hysteresis

ON ON

OFF OFF
Alarm value Alarm value

• Alarm hysteresis is set independently for each alarm in the “alarm 1

to 3 hysteresis” parameters (level 2 mode). Default is “0.02:
0.02%FS”.

F Standby • “Standby sequence” is a function for unconditionally turning alarm

sequence output OFF when the process value has left the alarm range once and
it next enters the alarm range.
• For example, when the alarm type is set to “ lower-limit alarm,” gen-
erally the process value is within the alarm range, and alarm output
smaller than the set point, and alarm output becomes ON when this
state continues. However, if the alarm type is set to “ lower-limit
alarm with standby sequence”, alarm output first becomes ON when
the process value exceeds the alarm setting value to leave the alarm
range and once again falls below the alarm value.
• The standby sequence is canceled when an alarm is output. It is, how-
ever, restarted later by one of the following conditions:
Operation is started or power is turned ON.
A pattern is started.
The program advances to the next step.
The SP of the current step is changed.
The currently running alarm value is changed.
The input shift value is changed.
Advance is executed.

J Close in alarm/open in alarm

• When the controller is set to “close in alarm,” the status of the alarm
output function is output as it is. When set to “open in alarm,” the
status of the alarm output function is output inverted.

Alarm Output Output LED

ON ON Lit
Close in alarm
OFF OFF Not lit
ON OFF Lit
Open in alarm
OFF ON Not lit

• Alarm type and close in alarm (normally open)/open in alarm (nor-

mally close) can be set independently for each alarm.
• Close in alarm/open in alarm is set in the “alarm 1 to 3 open in
alarm” parameters (setup mode). Default is “ : close in alarm”.

3.5 Setting Patterns

J Pattern No. • This parameter cannot be changed during controller operation.

• Set the desired pattern No. Step SP, step time, alarms and other pa-
rameters that follow this parameter are set for the pattern that is set
in this parameter.
• Set within the range 0 to 3 (pattern 0 to 3). Default is “0”.

J Number of steps • Set the number of steps for the pattern that you specified in the “pat-
tern No.” parameter.
• Set within the range 1 to 16 (step). Default is “8”.

J Step SP/Step • Set only the number of steps used in the program in order from step
0, as “step 0 SP”, “step 0 time”, “step 1 SP”, “step 1 time” and so
time forth.
• Set within the range from set point lower limit to set point upper
: limit for step SP. Default is “0”.
• Set within the range 0.00 to 99.59 (hours:minutes or minutes:se-
: conds). Default is “0.00”.
SP

Step 0 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Step 0 hour Step 1 hour Step 2 hours Step 3 hours

A: SP of steps 0 and 3 Time

B: SP of steps 1 and 2

• As shown in the above figure, step 0 is a fixed value, so when ramp

operation is started, set the “step 0 time” parameter to “0.00” to con-
figure the program so that ramp operation starts from step 1.

F Manipulated vari- • On a standard type controller, specify the manipulated variable (-5.0
able at reset to 105.0%) in the “MV at reset” parameter (level 2 mode) to output
the manipulated variable during reset. Default is “0.0:0.0%”.
• When the controller is reset in the manual mode, the manual MV
takes precedence.
• Both the MV limitter and MV change rate limitter are ineffective
against the manipulated value at reset.
• On a position-proportional type controller, you can select either of the
open, closed or hold state. In an open state, only control output 1 is
ON. In a closed state, only control output 2 is ON. In a hold state,
both control outputs 1 and 2 are OFF. Default is “ ”.

J Manual operation • On a standard type controller, the manipulated variable is controlled,

and on a position-proportional type controller, the valve opening is
controlled.
• To set manual operation and manually set the manipulated variable
or the valve opening, press the key and key simultaneously
for 1 second minimum. Then the controllers enters the manual mode.
To quit the manual mode, press the key and key again simul-
taneously for 1 second minimum. The controller enters the level 0
mode without entering the menu display.
• Though the control shifts to manual operation if the controller is set
to the manual mode during program operation, the program ad-
vances. When program operation is started in the manual mode, pro-
gram also advances.
• In the manual mode, the automatic return of display mode does not
work.

F Standard type • The process value is displayed on the No.1 display, and the manipu-
lated variable is displayed on the No.2 display.
• To change the manipulated variable, press the or keys. After
two seconds, the manipulated variable is updated to the new setting.
• When switching between manual and auto operation, the manipu-
lated variable is subject to balance-less, bump-less operation.
• If the power is interrupted during manual operation, manual opera-

3.8 Adjusting Control Operation

J Auto-tuning • AT (auto-tuning) cannot be executed while operation is reset or dur-

ing ON/OFF control.
(A.T.)
• When you execute auto-tuning, the optimum PID parameters are au-
tomatically set by forcibly changing the manipulated variable to cal-
culate the characteristics (called the “limit cycle method”) of the con-
trol target. During auto-tuning, time counting is stopped and the
“AT” LED flashes.
• 40%AT or 100%AT can be selected by the limit cycle of MV change
width. Specify [ ] or [ ], respectively, in the “AT execute/
cancel” parameter (level 1 mode).
• During heating and cooling control on a standard type controller, and
on a position-proportional type controller, only 100%AT can be
executed. (So, “ : 40%AT” is not displayed.)
• To cancel AT execution, specify “ : AT cancel”.
F 40%AT In order to set the limit cycle of MV change width to 40%, select 40%AT
to execute auto-tuning with fluctuations in the process value kept to a
minimum. However, note that auto-tuning takes longer to execute
compared with 100%AT.
The timing by which limit cycles are generated varies according to wheth-
er or not the deviation (DV) at the start of AT execution is 10% full-scale
or less.

End of AT execution turns to “ : AT cancel”.

About PID Param- When control characteristics are already known, the PID parameters can be set
eters directly to adjust control.
PID parameters are set in the “proportional band” (P), “integrated time” (I) and
“derivative time” (D) parameters (level 1 mode).
For details on the setting ranges of these parameters, see chapter 5 Level 1 Mode
(page 5-18).

AT Execution Tim- The E5EK-T differs from fixed-value type controllers in that the SP changes au-
ing tomatically. So, the timing of AT execution is the most important factor in con-
trol.
To obtain PID parameters for a specific SP, make a fixed-value program as follows
and execute AT.

“cooling coefficient” parameters can be used.

F Dead band The dead band is set with the set point as its center. The dead band
width is the set value of the “dead band” parameter (level 1 mode). Set-
ting a positive value produces a dead band, while setting a negative val-
ue produces an overlap band.
The dead band is factory-set to “0.00:0.00%FS.”

the heating and cooling sides. In heating and cooling control, P at the
heating or cooling side is calculated by the following formula:
Heating side P = P; Cooling side P = cooling coefficient ¢ P

value of the “MV at reset” parameter (level 2 mode) in the same way
as for standard control.
• However, note that in heating and cooling control, the manipulated
variable at the cooling side is treated as a negative value for the sake
of convenience. When the manipulated variable at reset is a negative
value, the manipulated variable is output to only the cooling side, and
when a positive value, the manipulated variable is output to only the
heating side.
Default is “0”. If the controller is operated with default, the manipu-
lated variable is not output to both the heating and cooling sides.

The “ON/OFF control” parameter is factory-set to [ ].
• During position-proportional control, ON/OFF control cannot be se-
lected.
F Hysteresis • In ON/OFF control, hysteresis is provided in the program when
switching between ON and OFF to stabilize operation. The hysteresis
width provided during ON/OFF control is simply referred to as “hys-
teresis.” Control output (heat) and control output (cool) functions are
set in the “hysteresis (heat)” and “hysteresis (cool)” parameters, re-

4.3 Ramp Rise Rate Setup Program

4.3 Ramp Rise Rate Setup Program

Chapter 3 described programs that used the “time setup method.” Pro-
grams were executed using a combination of SPs and step time values.
The E5EK-T also supports the “ramp rise rate setup method.” By this
method, programs are executed using three program elements: “target
SP”, “rate of rise” and “soak time.”
To select a ramp rise rate program, set the “Step time/rate of rise pro-
gramming” parameter (expansion mode) to “ : rate of rise.”
Soak time

Rate of rise

Step N N+1

Set each of the above program elements in the “target SP 0 to 7”, “rate
of rise 0 to 7” and “soak time 0 to 7” parameters.
In a ramp rise rate program, parameters are set to two steps as shown
in the figure above. The following figure shows the relationship be-
tween the program and parameters.

CHAPTER 4 APPLIED OPERATION

F Relationship with When the number of steps is set to an odd number, the final soak time
the number of cannot be set. For example, if we set the “number of steps” parameter
steps to “7”, the “soak time 3” parameter cannot be set even though the “tar-
get SP 3” and “rate of rise 3” parameters can be set.
Accordingly, when the number of steps are set to an even number, the
final step is a soak step. When it is set to an odd number, the final step
is a ramp step.

Number of steps = even number Number of steps = odd number

F When the rate of When “rate of rise 0 to 7” parameter is set to “0”, the ramp step is

• In the above figure, increasing the rate of rise results in a shorter tar-

• When the soak time is changed, only the step time in the soak cycle
changes.

F Program In a program comprising four steps, steps 0 and 1 follow the settings of
structure the “target SP 0”, “rate of rise 0” and “soak time 0” parameters. Steps 2
and 3 follow the settings of the “target SP 1”, “rate of rise 1” and “soak
time 1” parameters.

F How the program (1) As the program starts at PV (PV start), the program starts opera-
works tion from “10” in this example.
(2) As the rate of rise is set to “3”, the Present SP takes 30 minutes
(100-10/3=30) to reach the target SP value “100” in step 0. If the
PV is “40” when the program is started, this time then becomes 20
minutes using the same formula.
(3) In step 1, the Present SP does not change, and the step time is the
value set to the “soak time 0” parameter (in this example, “30 min-
utes”).
(4) In step2, the Present SP changes according to the value of “rate of
rise 1” parameter from that of “target SP 0” parameter to that of
“target SP 1” parameter It takes 30 minutes in this example.
(5) In step 3, the Present SP does not change, and the step time is the
value set to the “soak time 1” parameter (in this example, “30 min-
utes”).

• As the PV is smaller than “SP - wait width” at the end of the rising
step in the above figure, control monitoring is stopped, and the con-
trol waits for PV to reach “SP - wait width” before the step is up-
dated.
• In the case of a falling step, the control waits for PV to reach “SP +
wait width.”
• Set the wait width in the “wait width” parameter (expansion mode)
within the range 0 to 9999 (EU). (Default is “0”.)
• Setting the “wait width” to “0” disables wait operation.

J Time signal • Two types of time signals can be set to each pattern.

ON time Time

Time signal output

OFF time

• There are two timers for time signals: ON time timer and OFF time
timer. These times are counted from the beginning of the step.
• Output is ON from the ON time elapsed point up to the OFF time
elapsed point.
• Set the step at which to output the time signal in the “time signal 1/2
enabled step” parameter (program mode). (Default is “0: step 0.”)
• Set the ON/OFF timing in the “time signal 1/2 ON time” and “time
signal OFF time” parameters (program mode).

F About ON • When the OFF time is set shorter than the ON time, output is ON
conditions until a reset from the ON time elapsed point onwards or at start of
the next pattern.
• Output does not turn ON when ON and OFF times are set the same.
• When step advance is executed during execution of the time signal
enabled step, the controller judges that the time equivalent to the en-
abled step has elapsed. For example, in the above figure, output is ON
from the start of the following step up to the OFF time elapsed point.

About Pattern You can verify the pattern elapsing time in the “pattern elapsing time” parame-
Elapsing Time ter (level 0 mode). During repeated execution of patterns or run all execution, the
program is counting for each pattern.
If the count exceeds the monitor range (99 hours:59 minutes or 99 minutes:59
seconds), “99.59” is displayed flashing.
During Hold, time counting is paused.
Executing Advance, the skipped step time is counted.

4.8 How to Use Event Input

• When using event input, mount the option unit (E53-AKB).

• Switching by event input is not possible on the menu display.
• Switch event inputs ON and OFF while controller power is ON.

J Input • You can choose from the following six event input functions:
Run/Reset
assignments Remote/Local
Auto/Manual
Hold/Hold cancel
Advance
Pattern select
• Event input ON/OFF judgment is carried out on inputs of 200 ms
minimum.
• When event inputs are used as program advance input, the program
step is advanced at the rising (OFF→ON) edge of the input signal.
When event inputs are used as run/reset input, program operation is
stopped (reset) at the rising (OFF→ON) edge of the input signal, and
program operation is started (run) at the falling (ON→OFF) edge.
Other signals are accepted at all times.
• Set event input assignments in the “event input assignments 1 and 2”
parameters (option mode).
• The following table shows the relationship between the settings and
functions of the “event input assignment 1 to 2” parameters.

CHAPTER 4 APPLIED OPERATION

J Detailed • There is no order of priority in event input, key operations and com-
munications command setup. However, remote/local, auto/manual,
description of hold/hold cancel or pattern selection be set to either of ON or OFF. So,
input functions parameters will always follow event input even if you try to switch
settings by key operation and communications commands.

F Run/Reset • Program operation is stopped (reset) at the rising (ON→ON) edge of

the event input signal, and the RST LED lights. Program operation is
started (run) at the falling (ON→OFF) edge of the event input signal.
Reset Run
F Auto/Manual • When event input is set to “ON”, the controller is switched to manual
operation, and the “MANU” LED lights.

F Hold/Hold cancel • This function is enabled only during program operation.

• The program is paused (Hold) when the event input is ON, and the
“HOLD” LED lights. Holds continue until the state of the event input
changes to OFF.

F Advance • This function is enabled only during program operation.

• Program steps are advanced at the rising (OFF→ON) edge of the
event input signal. Accordingly, be sure to set event input OFF before
Advance you use this function.

F Pattern select • This function is enabled only when the program is reset.
• Patterns are selected using a combination of pattern select 0 and 1.
• Pattern select 0 and 1 inputs that are not assigned are normally
treated as OFF. For example, when only pattern select 1 is assigned,
pattern select inputs 0 and 1 are treated as OFF, so patterns 0 and 1
are patterns targeted for switching.

4.9 How to Use the Heater Burnout Alarm

4.9 How to Use the Heater Burnout Alarm

• On a standard type controller, the HBA (heater burnout alarm) func-

tion can be used only when the assignment destination of the output
function “control output (heat)” is set to pulsed output.
• When using the HBA function, assign output function “heater burn-
out alarm” to control outputs 1/2 or auxiliary outputs 1/2.

J Heater burnout • Heater burnout detection works as follows:

detection (1) Connect the current transformer (CT) to terminal Nos.15 and 17,
To E5EK-T
and insert the heater lead through the CT hole.
CT terminal (2) When current flows through this lead, the current transformer gen-
erates AC current proportional to the current value. The E5EK-T
measures this AC current to calculate the current flowing to the
CT
heater.
(3) If the heater is burned out, the current measured at the current
transformer decreases. This value is compared with the value set as
the heater burnout set value and is output as the heater burnout
Heater wire
alarm.
• Set the heater burnout set value in the “heater burnout alarm” pa-
rameter. To verify the current value of the current transformer, use
the “heater current monitor” parameter.
• When you are not using the HBA function, set the “heater burnout
alarm” parameter to “0.0 (disabled)”.

F HBA • When the HBA latch function is set to “ON”, the heater burnout
latch/release alarm is held until either of the following measures is taken:
a Set the heater burnout set value to “0.0A” (default).
b Reset the controller.
(Turn the controller’s power OFF then back ON again.)
• To enable the HBA latch function, set the “HBA latch” parameter to
“ON”.

J Operating • Turn the heater power supply ON at the same time as or before turn-
ing the E5EK-T power supply ON. If the heater power supply is
conditions
turned ON after turning the E5EK-T power supply ON, the heater
burnout alarm is output.
• Control is continued even when the heater burnout alarm is output.
(That is, the controller attempts to control the heater as if the heater
burnout alarm has not occurred.)
• The heater burnout alarm is detected only if the control output is
continuously ON for 190 ms minimum.
• The rated current value may sometimes differ slightly from the actual
current value flowing to the heater. Verify the current value in an ac-
tual operating state in the “heater current monitor” parameter.
• If there is little difference between the current in a normal state and
the current in a burnout state, detection may become unstable. On a
heater of current 10.0 A or less, maintain a difference of 1.0 A mini-
mum. On a heater of current 10.0 A minimum, maintain a difference
of 2.5 A minimum.

4--23
E5EK

CHAPTER 4 APPLIED OPERATION

• The heater burnout alarm function cannot be used when the heater is
controlled by a phase control system or by a cycle control system.
Also, the heater burnout alarm function cannot be applied on 3-phase
heaters.

To detect heater burnout on a 3-phase heater, use the K2CU-FjjA-jGS (with

gate input terminal). (For details, see the respective product catalog.)

J How to calculate • Calculate the set value by the following formula:

the heater burn- Set value =
(current value at normal operation + current value at burnout)
2
out set value
• Set the current value at burnout when two or more heaters are con-
nected to the CT to the value at the time that the heater having the
smaller(est) current value burns out (the value when one of the heat-
ers burns out with all heaters at the same current).
• Make sure that the following condition is satisfied:
Heater of current 10.0 A or less
Current value at normal operation - current value at heater
burnout ≧ 1A
When resultant current is less than 1 A, detection is unstable.
Heater of current 10.0 A minimum
Current value at normal operation - current value at heater
burnout ≧ 2.5 A
When resultant current is less than 2.5 A, detection is unstable.
• The set value can be set within the range 0.1 to 49.9 A. Heater burn-
out is not detected when the setting is “0.0” or “50.0”. When the set-
ting is “0.0”, the heater burnout alarm is set to “OFF,” and when the
setting is “50.0”, the heater burnout alarm is set to “ON.”
• Set the total current value at normal heater operation to 50 A or less.
When set to 55.0 A minimum, [ ] is displayed in the “heater cur-
rent monitor” parameter.

CHAPTER 4 APPLIED OPERATION

4.10 LBA

• The LBA (Loop Break Alarm) function can be used only on standard
type controllers.
• The LBA function can be used only when it is assigned as an output.
Also, the LBA function does not work when a memory error or A/D
converter error results.
• LBA (Loop Break Alarm) is a function for judging that an error has
occurred somewhere on the control loop and for outputting an alarm
when the process value does not change with the manipulated vari-
able at a maximum or minimum state. Accordingly, the LBA function
can be used as a means for detecting a malfunctioning control loop.

F LBA detection • Normally, when output is set to maximum or minimum, the process
time value rises or falls after the dead time has elapsed. LBA is output if
the process value does not change in the predicted direction after a
fixed amount of time has elapsed. This fixed amount of time is the
“LBA detection time.”

F LBA detection • LBA operation sometimes becomes unstable when the process value
width fluctuates considerably due to the control characteristics. The LBA
detection width is provided so that changes with respect to output can
be correctly detected. Changes smaller than the detection width due
to LBA detection timing are not regarded as changes.

F LBA detection • The following example describes what happens when a heater burn-
example out occurs at maximum output.
LBA detection time LBA detection time

PV

LBA detection width

Output

Time
Heater burnout LBA=ON

• LBA judgment is carried out at each LBA detection time from the
point of maximum output. In the above figure, the process value (PV)
is changing greatly at the 1st judgment time band, so LBA remains
OFF.
• At the 2nd judgment time band, the process value increases as indi-
cated by the broken line if the process value is normal. This means
that the change width exceeds the LBA detection width, and LBA out-
put remains OFF.
• If the heater burns out at the point shown in the above figure, the
process value “decreases.” Accordingly, it is judged that “the process
value is not changing in the increasing direction” at the 2nd judg-
ment time band and the LBA output becomes ON.

F Setting the LBA • The LBA detection time is automatically set by auto-tuning (except in
detection time heating and cooling control).
• If the optimum LBA detection time cannot be obtained by auto-tun-
ing, set the time in the “LBA detection time” parameter (level 2
mode).

F Determining the • Calculate the LBA detection time as follows:

LBA detection (1) Set output to maximum.

4.11 How to Use Transfer Output

• When using transfer output, add on the communications unit

(E53-AKF).

F Transfer output • You can select the following five data items in the “transfer output
type type” parameter (option mode) as the transfer outputs:
Present SP (default), Process value, Manipulated variable (heat),
Manipulated variable (cool), Valve opening
However, note that heating/cooling side manipulated variables can be
output only on standard type controllers, and valve opening can be
output on position-proportional type controllers.
• If the output assignment is changed when either the “manipulated
variable (heat)” or “manipulated variable (cool)” parameter is se-
lected, the factory setting “set point” is returned to.

F Transfer output • These transfer outputs can be scaled according to the settings of the
scaling “transfer output upper limit” and “transfer output lower limit” pa-
rameters before output. Setting of an upper limit value smaller than
the lower limit value is allowed, so reverse scaling can also be carried
out. Also, the scale can be enlarged by the upper- and lower-limit
width specified for each data item. The following example shows scal-
ing of the heating side manipulated variable.

CHAPTER 6 USING THE COMMUNICATIONS FUNCTION

6.1 Outline of the Communications Function

J Outline The communications function allows you to monitor and set E5EK-T
parameters by a program prepared and running on a host computer
connected to the E5EK-T controller. This chapter describes operations
as viewed from the host computer.
When the communications function is used, the E53-AK01/02/03 com-
munications unit must be added on.
The E5EK-T communications function allows you to carry out the fol-
lowing:
• Read/write parameters
• Instruct operations
• Select the setting level.
The communications function assumes the following conditions:
• Writing of parameters is possible only during remote operation. Also,
parameters cannot be written during execution of auto-tuning.
• Writing of parameters is limited by setting level. Writing conditions
are as follows depending on the setting level:
• Setting level 1: No restrictions
• Setting level 0: Writing of parameters in the setup, expansion and
option modes only is prohibited.
• The “remote/local”, “AT execute/cancel”, “hold/hold cancel” and
“advance” parameters are set aside from other parameters as special
commands for instructing operations.

J Transfer The host computer sends a “command frame” to the controller, and the
controller returns a “response frame” corresponding to the content of
procedure
the command sent by the host computer. In other words, a response
frame is returned for each command frame sent.
The following diagram shows command frame/response frame opera-
tions.
Command frame Command frame

Host computer
E5EK-T
Response frame

J Interface The host computer carries out communications conforming to the

RS-232C, RS-422 or RS-485 interface specifications.
Controllers supporting the RS-232C, RS-422 and RS-485 specifications
are as follows:
• Option units
E5-AK01: RS-232C
E5-AK02: RS-422
E5-AK03: RS-485

The following functions are issued as special commands.

• Run/Reset
Runs or stops programs. This command cannot be issued in setting
level 1.
• AT Execute/Cancel
Executes or cancels auto-tuning. This command cannot be issued in
setting level 1.
• Move to setting level 1
Issue this command when writing parameters in the setup, expansion
and option modes. On the E5EK-T, the parameter switches to the top
parameter “ : input type” of the setup mode, and control is
stopped.
• Software reset
Resets E5EK-T operation (same as turning power ON) by commu-
nications. A response is not returned to this command. Also, commu-
nications with the E5EK-T cannot be carried out for five seconds after
reset.
• Status
Monitors the status of the E5EK-T. Two command groups are avail-
able, A and B, depending on the instruction code. The response is re-
turned in bit units to the instruction code (4B) of the response frame.
For details on the monitoring details of each group, see page 6-11.
• Hold
Holds program execution or cancels hold. This command cannot be
issued in setting level 1.
• Advance
Advances execution of steps in the program. This command cannot be
issued in setting level 1.

6.5 How to Read Communications Error Information

6.5 How to Read Communications Error Information

The result of communications on the E5EK-T can be checked by the end code or undefined error re-
sponse in the response frame. Use this end code or undefined error response to remedy errors that may
occur.

J End code Communications are normal when the end code in the response is “00”.
If the end code is not “00”, this indicates that an error that is not an
undefined error has occurred. The end code format is as follows and
does not contain a data area.

F Description • Writing was carried out during local operation.
• Writing was carried out during execution of auto-tuning.
• An attempt was made to execute 40%AT during heating and cooling
control or position-proportional control.
• An attempt was made to switch run/reset in setting level 1.
• An attempt was made to execute AT in setting level 1.
F Action • Issue the parameter read or write commands in conditions other than
above.

End code 10 Code name Parity error

F Description Parity check error was detected in the received data.
F Action Check the communications conditions. If the communications condi-
tions of the host computer and E5EK-T controller match, then a prob-
able cause is a problem in the communications circuit of one or both of
the host computer and E5EK-T controller.

End code 11 Code name Framing error

F Description Stop bit cannot be detected.
F Action Check the communications conditions. If the communications conditions
of the host computer and E5EK-T controller match, then a probable cause
is a problem in the communications circuit of one or both of the host com-
puter and E5EK-T controller.

7.1 Parameter Structure

• To calibrate the E5EK-T controller, select [ ] in the menu dis-

play to select the calibration mode. [ ] .is displayed.
• However, note that [ ] may not be displayed on the menu display
when, for example, the user is calibrating the E5EK-T controller for
the first time. If this happens, [ ] is displayed by changing the “se-
curity” parameter (protect mode) to “0”.
• The parameters in the calibration mode are structure as follows:

Platinum resistance
Thermocouple thermometer Current input Voltage input

Thermocouple 1 Thermocouple 2 0 to 5V 1 to 5V 0 to 10V

Transfer output

Only when the

transfer output Thermocouple 1 : K1/J1/L1/E/N/W/PLII
function is sup- Thermocouple 2 : K2/J2/L2/R/S/B/T/U
ported Platinum resistance
thermocouple :JPt100/Pt100
Data storage

• To select the desired parameter, press the key. Parameters are

displayed in the following order:
Calibration of inputs → Calibration of transfer output →
Storage of calibration data
If the E5EK-T controller does not support the transfer output func-
tion, calibration of transfer output is automatically deleted from the
calibration procedure as follows:
Calibration of inputs → Storage of calibration data
• Only inputs that have been set in the “input type” parameter (setup
mode) can be calibrated. To temporarily store data for each of the cal-
ibration parameters, press the key for 1 second.
• Transfer output can be calibrated only when the Communications
unit (E53-AKF) is set in the controller. To adjust data items, press the
or keys.
• The data store menu is displayed only when all calibration items have
temporarily been stored.
• After calibrating input, you must always check indication accuracy.
For details, see page 7-12.

7.2 Calibrating Thermocouples

• Calibrate according to the type of thermocouple, thermocouple 1

group (K1, J1, L1, E, N, W, PLII) and thermocouple 2 group (K2, K2,
L2, R, S, B, T, U).
• When calibrating, do not cover the bottom of the controller. Also, do
not touch the input terminals (Nos.11 and 12) or compensating con-
ductor on the E5EK-T controller.

sure that the E5EK-T controller has been correctly calibrated.
• Operate the E5EK-T controller in the PV/Present SP monitor (level 0
mode) mode.
• Check the indication accuracy at the upper and lower limits and mid-
point.
F Thermocouple • Preparation
The following figure shows the required device connection. Make sure
that the E5EK-T controller and cold junction compensator are con-
nected by a compensating conductor for the input type (thermocou-
ple) that is to be used during actual operation.

CHAPTER 8 TROUBLESHOOTING

8.1 Initial Checks

If trouble occurs, first of all check the following:

(1) Power supply
Make sure that the power supply is ON. Also, make sure that the
power supply is within the rated voltage range.
(2) Wiring
Make sure that all cables are properly connected.
(3) Communications conditions
When communicating via the RS-232C, RS-422 or RS-485 inter-
faces, make sure that the baud rate and other communications
condition settings on the host computer and E5EK-T controller are
matching, and are within the permissible ranges.

If there appears to be nothing wrong after checking the E5EK-T con-

troller, and the same phenomenon continues, check the controller in
more detail, for example, on the error display.

8.2 How to Use the Error Display

8.2 How to Use the Error Display

When an error has occurred, the No.1 display alternately indicates er-
ror codes together with the current display item.
This section describes how to check error codes on the display, and the
actions you must take to remedy the problem.

Input error

F Meaning Input is in error.

F Action Check the wiring of inputs, disconnections, and shorts, and check the
input type.

F Operation at er- For control output functions, the manipulated variable matched to the
ror setting of the “MV at PV error” parameter (level 2 mode) is output.
Alarm output functions are activated as if the upper limit is exceeded.
Program operation is continued.

Memory error

F Meaning Internal memory operation is in error.

F Action First, turn the power OFF then back ON again. If the display remains
the same, the E5EK-T controller must be repaired. If the display is re-
stored to normal, then a probable cause can be external noise affecting
the control system. Check for external noise.

F Operation at er- Control output functions turn OFF (2 mA max. at 4 to 20 mA output,

ror and output equivalent to 0% in case of other outputs). Alarm output
functions turn OFF.

A/D converter error

F Meaning Internal circuits are in error.

F Action First, turn the power OFF then back ON again. If the display remains
the same, the E5EK-T controller must be repaired. If the display is re-
stored to normal, then a probable cause can be external noise affecting
the control system. Check for external noise.

F Operation at Control output functions turn OFF (2 mA max. at 4 to 20 mA output,

error and output equivalent to 0% in case of other outputs). Alarm output
functions turn OFF. Program operation is stopped.

CHAPTER 8 TROUBLESHOOTING

Calibration data error

This error is output only during temperature input, and is displayed for
two seconds when the power is turned ON.

F Meaning Calibration data is in error.

F Action E5EK-T must be repaired.

F Operation at Both control output functions and alarm output functions operate.
error However, note that readout accuracy is not assured.

Display range over

F Meaning Though not an error, this is displayed when the process value exceeds
the display range when the control range (setting range ^10%) is larg-
er than the display range (-1999 to 9999).
• When less than “-1999” [ ]
• When greater than “9999” [ ]

F Operation Control continues, allowing normal operation.

About Errors That If an error occurs during motor calibration, [ ] is displayed on the No.2 dis-
Occur During Mo- play. The following causes of errors are possible:
tor Calibration
• Control motor or potentiometer malfunction
• Incorrect control motor or potentiometer wiring
• Potentiometer is not connected

8.3 How to Use the Error Output

8.3 How to Use the Error Output

The E5EK-T controller allows you to assign error output to terminals

as outputs.
For details on output assignments, see 3.3 Setting Output Specifications
(page 3-7).

F LBA • LBA (Loop Break Alarm) can be used as a means for detecting loop
breaks when the control loop is not functioning normally. For details,
see page 4-26.
• LBA allows you to detect the following errors:
(1) Heater burnout (HBA)
(2) Output error (contact weld, damaged transistors, etc.)
(3) Sensor error (constant input values, etc.)
• If you use the LBA function, set the loop break detection time
matched to the control characteristics in the “LBA detection time”
parameter (level 2 mode).

F Input errors • If you assign error 1 as the output, an error can be output to auxiliary
output 1 or auxiliary output 2 when input is in error. When this error
occurs, remedy by following the description for “Input error”.

F A/D converter • If you assign error 2 as the output, an error can be output to auxiliary
error output 1 or auxiliary output 2 when the A/D converter is in error.
When this error occurs, remedy by following the description for “A/D
converter error”.
