FDC-4300 Fuzzy Logic plus PID microprocessor-based controller, incorporates a bright,

easy to read 4-digit LED display, indicating process value. The Fuzzy Logic technology
enables a process to reach a predetermined set point in the shortest time, with the
minimum of overshoot during power-up or external load disturbance. The units are
housed in a 1/4 DIN case, measuring 96 mm x 96 mm with 53 mm behind panel
depth. The units feature three touch keys to select the various control and input
parameters. Using a unique function, you can put at most 5 parameters in front of user
menu by using SEL1 to SEL5 contained in the setup menu. This is particularly useful to
OEM's as it is easy to configure menu to suit the specific application.

FDC-4300 is powered by 11-28 or 90 - 264 VDC / AC supply, incorporating a 2 amp.

control relay output and dual 2 amp. alarm relays output as standard whereby
second alarm can be exceptionally configured into second output for cooling
purpose or dwell timer. Alternative output options include SSR drive, triac, 4 - 20 mA
and 0 - 10 volts. FDC-4300 is fully programmable for PT100, thermocouple types J, K, T,
E, B, R, S, C, P, 0 - 20mA, 4 -20mA and voltage signal input, with no need to modify the
unit. The input signals are digitized by using a 18-bit A to D converter. Its fast sampling
rate allows the FDC-4300 to control fast processes such as pressure and flow. Self tune
is incorporated. The self- tune can be used to optimize the control parameters as soon
as undesired control result is observed. Unlike auto-tune, Self-tune will produce less
disturbance to the process during tuning, and can be used any time.

The function of Fuzzy Logic is to adjust PID parameters internally in order to make
manipulation output value MV more flexible and adaptive to various processes.
PID + Fuzzy Control has been proven to be an efficient method to improve the control
stability as shown by the comparison curves below:

Chapter 2 Installation

Dangerous voltages capable of causing death are sometimes

present
in this instrument. Before installation or beginning any troubleshooting
procedures the power to all equipment must be switched off and isolated.
Units suspected of being faulty must be disconnected and removed to a
properly equipped workshop for testing and repair. Component replacement

To minimize the possibility of fire or shock hazards, do not expose this

instrument to rain or excessive moisture.

Do not use this instrument in areas under hazardous conditions such

as excessive shock, vibration, dirt, moisture, corrosive gases or oil. The
ambient temperature of the areas should not exceed the maximum rating

2 1 Unpacking
Upon receipt of the shipment remove the unit from the carton and inspect the
unit for shipping damage.
If any damage due to transit , report and claim with the carrier.
Write down the model number, serial number, and date code for future reference
when corresponding with our service center. The serial number (S/N) and date
code (D/C) are labeled on the box and the housing of control.

2 2 Mounting
Make panel cutout to dimension shown in Figure 2.1.

 2 3 Wiring Precautions
* Before wiring, verify the label for correct model number and options. Switch
off the power while checking.

* Care must be taken to ensure that maximum voltage rating specified on the
label are not exceeded.

* It is recommended that power of these units to be protected by fuses or circuit

breakers rated at the minimum value possible.

* All units should be installed inside a suitably grounded metal enclosure to

prevent live parts being accessible from human hands and metal tools.

* All wiring must conform to appropriate standards of good practice and local
codes and regulations. Wiring must be suitable for voltage, current, and
temperature rating of the system.

* Beware not to over-tighten the terminal screws.

* Unused control terminals should not be used as jumper points as they may
be internally connected, causing damage to the unit.

* Verify that the ratings of the output devices and the inputs as specified in
Chapter 6 are not exceeded.

* Electric power in industrial environments contains a certain amount of noise in

the form of transient voltage and spikes. This electrical noise can enter and
the form of transient voltage and spikes. This electrical noise can enter and
adversely affect the operation of microprocessor-based controls. For this
reason we strongly recommend the use of shielded thermocouple extension
wire which connects the sensor to the controller. This wire is a twisted-pair
construction with foil wrap and drain wire. The drain wire is to be attached to
ground at one end only.

This equipment is designed for installation in an enclosure which provides

adequate protection against electric shock. The enclosure must be connected
to earth ground.

Local requirements regarding electrical installation should be rigidly observed.

Consideration should be given to prevent from unauthorized person access to
the power terminals.

2 5 Sensor Installation Guidelines

Proper sensor installation can eliminate many problems in a control system.

The probe should be placed so that it can detect any temperature change
with minimal thermal lag. In a process that requires fairly constant heat
output, the probe should be placed closed to the heater. In a process where
the heat demand is variable, the probe should be closed to the work area.
Some experiments with probe location are often required to find this
optimum position.

In a liquid process, addition of a stirrer will help to eliminate thermal lag.

Since the thermocouple is basically a point measuring device, placing more
than one thermocouple in parallel can provide an average temperature
readout and produce better results in most air heated processes.

Proper sensor type is also a ver y important factor to obtain precise

measurements. The sensor must have the correct temperature range to
meet the process requirements. In special processes the sensor might need
to have different requirements such as leak-proof, anti-vibration, antiseptic,
etc.

Standard sensor limits of error are A4degrees F (A 2degrees C ) or 0.75% of

sensed temperature (half that for special ) plus drift caused by improper
protection or an over-temperature occurrence. This error is far greater than
controller error and cannot be corrected on the sensor except by proper
17
selection and replacement.
UM4300-August-2024
 2 6 Thermocouple Input Wiring
Thermocouple input connections are shown in Figure 2.5. The correct type of
thermocouple extension lead-wire or compensating cable must be used for the
distance between the controller and the thermocouple, ensuring that the correct
polarity is observed throughout. Joints in the cable should be avoided, if possible.

If the length of thermocouple plus the extension wire is too long, it may affect the
temperature measurement. A 400 ohms K type or a 500 ohms J type thermocouple
lead resistance will produce 1 degree C temperature error approximately.

RTD connection are shown in Figure 2.6, with the compensating lead connected
to terminal 12. For two-wire RTD inputs, terminals 12 and 13 should be linked. The
three-wire RTD offers the capability of lead resistance compensation provided that
the three leads should be of same gauge and equal length.

Two-wire RTD should be avoided, if possible, for the purpose of accuracy. A

3 3 Manual Control
The manual control may be used for the following purposes:
( 1 ) To test the process characteristics to obtain a step response as well as an
impulse response and use these data for tuning a controller.
( 2 ) To use manual control instead of a close loop control as the sensor fails or
the controller's A-D converter fails. NOTE that a bumpless transfer can not
be used for a longer time. See section 3-6.
( 3 ) In certain applications it is desirable to supply a process with a constant
demand.

bumpless transfer for a longer time. For fail safe reason, an additional alarm problem to the system to run
should be used to announce the operator when the system fails. For example, away.
a Sensor Break Alarm, if configured, will switch to failure state and announces
the operator to use manual control or take a proper security action when the
system enters failure mode.

 3 7 Self Tuning
The Self-tuning which is designed by using an innovative algorithm provides Self-tune Menu
an alternative option for tuning the controller. It is activated as soon as SELF
is selected with YES. When Self-tuning is working, the controller will change its
working PID values and compares the process behavior with previous cycle. Selects
If the new PID values achieve a better control, then changing the next PID
values in the same direction, otherwise, changing the next PID values in Disable Self-tuning
reverse direction. When an optimal condition is obtained, the optimal PID or
values will be stored in PB1, TI1, TD1 or PB2, TI2, TD2 which is determined by
Event Input conditions. When Self-tuning is completed, the value of SELF will Enable Self-tuning
be changed from YES to NONE to disable self-tuning function.

When the Self-tuning is enabled, the control variables are tuned slowly so Default
that the disturbance to the process is less than auto-tuning. Usually, the Self- SELF=NONE
tuning will perform successfully with no need to apply additional auto-

Exceptions: The Self-tuning will be disabled as soon as one of the following

conditions occurs:
1. SELF is selected with NONE.
2. The controller is used for on-off control, that is PB=0.
3. The controller is used for manual reset, that is TI=0.
4. The controller is under loop break condition.
5. The controller is under failure mode (e.g. sensor break).
6. The controller is under manual control mode.
7. The controller is under sleep mode.
8. The controller is being calibrated.

If the self-tuning is enabled, the auto-tuning can still be used any time. The
self-tuning will use the auto-tuning results for its initial values.

Benefits of Self-tuning: Benefits of Self-tune:

1. Unlike auto-tuning, Self-tuning will produce less disturbance to the 1. Less disturbance to the process.

3 8 Auto Tuning
The auto-tuning process is performed at set point.
The process will oscillate around the set point during tuning process.
Set a set point to a lower value if overshooting beyond the normal
process value is likely to cause damage.
The auto-tuning is applied in cases of :
* Initial setup for a new process
* The set point is changed substantially from the previous auto-tuning
value
* The control result is unsatisfactory
Operation : Applicable Conditions :
1. The system has been installed normally. PB1=0, TI1=0 if PB1,TI1,TD1
2. Use the default values for PID before tuning. assigned
The default values are : PB1=PB2=18.0 F
TI1=TI2=100 sec, TD1=TD2=25.0 sec, Of course, you can use other PB2=0, TI2=0, if PB2, TI2, TD2
reasonable values for PID before tuning according to your previous assigned
experiences. But don't use a zero value for PB1 and TI1 or PB2 and
TI2, otherwise, the auto-tuning program will be disabled.
3. Set the set point to a normal operating value or a lower value if
overshooting beyond the normal process value is likely to cause
damage.
4. Press until appears on the display.

5. Press for at least 3 seconds. The upper display will begin to flash
and the auto-tuning procedure is beginning.

NOTE :
Any of the ramping function, remote set point or pump function, if used,
will be disabled once auto-tuning is proceeding.
Procedures:
The auto-tuning can be applied either as the process is warming up
( Cold Start ) or as the process has been in steady state ( Warm Start ).
See Figure 3.4.

If the auto-tuning begins apart from the set point ( Cold Start ), the Pre-tune Function Advantage:
unit enters Warm-up cycle. As the process reaches the set point Consistent tuning results can be
value, the unit enters waiting cycle. The waiting cycle elapses a obtained
double integral time ( TI1 or TI2, dependent on the selection, ) then it
enters a learning cycle. The double integral time is introduced to
allow the process to reach a stable state. Before learning cycle, the
unit performs pre-tune function with a PID control. While in learning
cycle the unit performs post-tune function with an ON-OFF control.
Learning cycle is used to test the characteristics of the process. The
data are measured and used to determine the optimal PID values.
At the end of the two successive ON-OFF cycles the PID values are
obtained and automatically stored in the nonvolatile memory.
After the auto-tuning procedures are completed, the process display
will cease to flash and the unit revert to PID control by using its new
PID values.
During pre-tune stage the PID values will be modified if any unstable
phenomenon which is caused by incorrect PID values is detected.
Without pre-tune stage, like other conventional controller, the tuning
result will be strongly related to the time when the auto-tuning is
applied. Hence different values will be obtained every time as auto-
tuning is completed without pre-tune. It is particularly true when the
auto-tuning are applied by using cold start and warm start.

In certain applications ( very few ) using both self-tuning and auto-tuning to

The above procedure may take a long time before reaching a new steady state
since the P band was changed. This is particularly true for a slow process. So
the above manual tuning procedures will take from minutes to hours to obtain
optimal PID values.

If the control performance by using above tuning is still unsatisfactory, the

following rules can be applied for further adjustment of PID values :

High Overshoot Increase TD1 or TD2

CPB Programming : The cooling proportional band is measured by % of PB with range 1~255. Initially set 100%
for CPB and examine the cooling effect. If cooling action should be enhanced then decrease CPB, if cooling
action is too strong then increase CPB. The value of CPB is related to PB and its value remains unchanged
throughout the self-tuning and auto-tuning procedures.

Adjustment of CPB is related to the cooling media used. For air is used as cooling media, adjust CPB at 100(%).
For oil is used as cooling media, adjust CPB at 125(%). For water is used as cooling media, adjust CPB at
250(%).

DB Programming: Adjustment of DB is dependent on the system requirements. If more positive value of DB

( greater dead band ) is used, an unwanted cooling action can be avoided but an excessive overshoot over
the set point will occur. If more negative value of DB ( greater overlap ) is used, an excessive overshoot over the
set point can be minimized but an unwanted cooling action will occur. It is adjustable in the range -36.0% to
36.0 % of Pb1
( or PB2 if PB2 is selected ). A negative DB value shows an overlap area over which both outputs are active. A
positive DB value shows a dead band area over which neither output is active.

 3 10 Pump Control
Pump Control function is one of the unique features of FDC-4300. Using this PUMP: A Cost Effective
function the pressure in a process can be controlled excellently. The yet Perfect Solution
pressure in a process is commonly generated by a pump driven by a
variable speed motor. The complete system has the following
characteristics which affects the control behavior: 1, The system is very
noisy. 2, The pressure is changed very rapidly. 3, The pump characteristics is
ultra nonlinear with respect to its speed. 4, The pump can't generate any
more pressure as its speed is lower than half of its rating speed. 5, An
ordinary pump may slowly lose the pressure even if the valves are
completely closed.
Obviously a conventional controller can't fulfill the conditions mentioned
above. Only the superior noise rejection capability in addition to the fast
sampling rate owned by FDC-4300 can realize such application. To
achieve this, set the following parameters in the setup menu:
FUNC=FULL Key menu
EIFN=NONE SPMD
PVMD=PV1 SP2F
FILT=0.5 REFC
SELF=NONE
SP2
SPMD=PUMP
SP2F=DEVI

and program the following parameters in the user menu:

REFC= Reference constant

SP2= A negative value is added to SP1 to obtain the set point for idle
state

Since the pump can't produce any more pressure at lower speed, the Pump Control Features:
pump may not stop running even if the pressure has reached the set point. 1. Minimum oscillation of pressure
If this happens, the pump will be over worn out and waste additional 2. Rapidly stabilized
power. To avoid this, the FDC-4300 provides a Reference Constant REFC in 3. Guaranteed pump stop
the user menu. If PUMP is selected for SPMD, the controller will periodically 4. Programmable pump stopping
test the process by using this reference constant after the pressure has interval
reached its set point. If the test shows that the pressure is still consumed by
the process, the controller will continue to supply appropriate power to the
pump. If the test shows that the pressure is not consumed by the process,
the controller will gradually decrease the power to the pump until the
pump stops running. As this happens, the controller enters idle state. The
idle state will use a lower set point which is obtained by adding SP2 to SP1
until the pressure falls below this set point. The idle state is provided for the
purpose of preventing the pump from been restarted too frequently. The
value of SP2 should be negative to ensure a correct function.

The pump functions are summarized as follows:

1. If the process is demanding material ( ie. lose pressure ), the controller
will precisely control the pressure at set point.
2. If the process no longer consumes material, the controller will shut off the
pump as long as possible.
3. The controller will restart the pump to control the pressure at set point as
soon as the material is demanded again while the pressure falls below a
predetermined value ( ie. SP1+SP2 ).

35

UM4300-August-2024
Programming Guide:
1. Perform auto-tuning to the system under such condition that the material
( ie. pressure ) is exhausted at typical rate. A typical value for PB1 is about
2
10 Kg/cm , TI1 is about 1 second, TD1 is about 0.2 second.
2. If the process oscillates around set point after auto-tuning, then increase
PB1 until the process can be stabilized at set point. The typical value of PB1
is about half to two times of the range of pressure sensor.
3. Increase FILT ( Filter ) can further reduce oscillation amplitude. But a value
of FILT higher than 5 ( seconds ) is not recommended. A typical value for FILT
is 0.5 or 1 .
4. Close the valves and examine that if the controller can shut off the pump
each time. The value of REFC is adjusted as small as possible so that the
controller can shut off the pump each time when all the valves are closed. A
typical value for REFC is between 3 and 5.
5. An ordinary pump may slowly lose the pressure even if the valves are
completely closed. Adjust SP2 according to the rule that a more negative
value of SP2 will allow the pump to be shut off for a longer time as the valves
2
are closed. A typical value for SP2 is about -0.50 Kg/cm .

Chapter 4 Calibration
Do not proceed through this section unless there is a definite need to
re-calibrate the controller. Otherwise, all previous calibration data will be
lost. Do not attempt recalibration unless you have appropriate calibration
equipment. If calibration data is lost, you will need to return the controller
to your supplier who may charge you a service fee to re-calibrate the
controller.

Entering calibration mode will break the control loop. Make sure that if
the system is allowable to apply calibration mode.

Equipments needed before calibration:

(1) A high accuracy calibrator ( Fluke 5520A Calibrator recommended )
with following functions:
0 - 100 mV millivolt source with +/-0.005 % accuracy
0 - 10 V voltage source with +/-0.005 % accuracy
0 - 20 mA current source with +/-0.005 % accuracy
0 - 300 ohm resistant source with +/-0.005 % accuracy
(2) A test chamber providing 25 C ambient
(Optional) High CJC calibration requires
a test chamber providing +50C ambient

The calibration procedures described in the following section are a step by step

Cancer and Reproductive Harm: This warning is intended to address certain Prop 65 chemicals that
may be found in Future Design Controls products. These products can expose you to chemicals

that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be in the products that
Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By requiring
that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their
exposures to these chemicals.
