x UDC3300 Limit Controller Product Manual 1/01
 Section 1 – Overview
1.1 Introduction

Function The UDC3300 Universal Digital Limit Controller is a microprocessor-

based stand-alone controller. It combines the highest degree of
functionality and operating simplicity offered in a 1/4 DIN size controller.

With a typical accuracy of ±0.20% of span, the UDC3300 is an ideal

controller for limiting temperature and other process variables in
numerous heating and cooling applications, in metal working, food, and
pharmaceuticals, and testing and environmental work.

Easy to read displays The dedicated vacuum fluorescent displays with English prompts make
the operator interface easy to read, understand and operate.
Programmed sequences of displays assure quick and accurate entry of all
configurable parameters.

Easy to operate Simple keystrokes let you select input and range configuration, set the
operating parameters that meet your process control needs now, and
change them later to meet new ones.

The tactile keyboard provides positive operator feedback. Self diagnostics,

fault tolerant design and keyboard security provide maximum assurance of
trouble-free operation.

Latching relays This limit controller has a latching output relay which is de-energized
whenever the PV goes above (high limit) or below (low limit) a selected
setpoint value. When the limit is exceeded (high or low), the lower display
alternately indicates “the limit control setpoint value” and the word
“limit.”

Reset of relay Reset of the latching output relay is made through a [RESET] key on the
front of the controller or an external switch (if the option is present).

Alarm relay Two additional non-latching alarm relays with two setpoints each alert
you to critical process conditions.

requires the user to provide adequate protection against a shock hazard.
The user shall install this controller in an enclosure that limits
OPERATOR access to the rear terminals.

Controller grounding PROTECTIVE BONDING (grounding) of this controller and the

enclosure in which it is installed shall be in accordance with National and
local electrical codes. To minimize electrical noise and transients that may
adversely affect the system, supplementary bonding of the controller
enclosure to a local ground, using a No. 12 (4 mm2) copper conductor, is
recommended.

Taking electrical noise Electrical noise is composed of unabated electrical signals which produce
precautions undesirable effects in measurements and control circuits.
Digital equipment is especially sensitive to the effects of electrical noise.
Your controller has built-in circuits to reduce the effect of electrical noise
from various sources. If there is a need to further reduce these effects:
• Separate External Wiring - separate connecting wires into bundles
(see Table 2-2) and route the individual bundles through separate
conduits or metal trays.
• Use Suppression Devices - for additional noise protection, you may
want to add suppression devices at the external source. Appropriate
suppression devices are commercially available.
NOTE For additional noise information, refer to Section 9.

Permissible wire Table 2-2 shows which wire functions should be bundled together.
bundling NOTE For installation where high EMI/RFI noise cannot be avoided, we
recommend you use shielded twisted pair wires for the signals in bundle 2.
Table 2-2 Permissible Wiring Bundling
Bundle No. Wire Functions

Introduction This option allows the controller to be connected to a host computer via a
RS422/485 or DMCS bus. Fifteen units can be configured over this link.
The controller looks for messages from the computer at regular intervals.
If these messages are not received within the configured shed time, the
controller will SHED from the communications link and return to stand
alone operation. The device address, parity, and baud rate are
configurable.

ATTENTION FM-approved Limit controllers with Communications

4.6 Alarms Set Up Group

Introduction An alarm is an indication that an event that you have configured (for
example—Process Variable) has exceeded one or more alarm limits. There
are two alarms available. Each alarm has two setpoints. You can configure
each of these two setpoints to alarm on various controller parameters.
There are two alarm output selections, High and Low. You can configure
each setpoint to alarm either High or Low. These are called single alarms.
You can also configure the two setpoints to alarm on the same event and
to alarm both high and low. A single adjustable Hysteresis of 0.0% to
5.0% is configurable for the alarm setpoint.

5.3 Enter a Security Code

Introduction The LOCKOUT feature in the UDC3300 is used to inhibit changes (via
keyboard) of certain functions or parameters by unauthorized personnel.
There are different levels of LOCKOUT depending on the level of
security required. These levels are:
NONE
CALIB
+CONF
MAX
See Section 4 — Configuration Definitions for details.

Security code The level of keyboard lockout may be changed in the Set Up mode.
numbers However, knowledge of a security code number (1 to 4095) may be
required to change from one level of lockout to another.

When a controller leaves the factory, it has a security code of 0 which

permits changing from one lockout level to another without entering any
other code number.

Procedure If you require the use of a security code, select a number from 1 to 4095
and enter it when the lockout level is configured as “NONE”.
Thereafter, that selected number must be used to change the lockout level
from something other than “NONE”.

CAUTION Write the number on the Configuration Record Sheet in the

configuration section so you will have a permanent record; or, in case of a
problem, refer to the keyboard failure troubleshooting section.

5.4 How to Operate Your Limit Controller, Continued

Operating principles The UDC3300 Limit Controller accepts signals from such sources as
thermocouples (T/Cs), Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs),
milliamps, millivolts, and volts dc. The equivalent PV signal is compared
with the limit setpoint and any error (difference) de-energizes a limit
output relay. When de-energized, the output relay locks out and remains in
this state until the PV input signal drops below the high limit setpoint or
rises above the low limit setpoint, and the controller is reset manually
from the front of the controller or through an optional external switch.

Setting a display When an alarm condition exists, there are three display modes from which
mode to choose:

Press [LOWER DISPLAY] key to successively select one of the following

three modes.

DISPLAY MODE #1
Upper Display = the value of the PV
Lower Display = the limit control setpoint value

DISPLAY MODE #2
Upper Display = (blank)

5.5 How to Monitor Your Limit Controller

Diagnostic error The UDC3300 performs background tests to verify data and memory
messages integrity. If there is a malfunction, an error message will be displayed.
In the case of more than one simultaneous malfunctions, only the one with
the highest priority will appear on the lower display.

A list of error messages is contained in Table 5-6.

If any of these error messages occur, refer to Section 7 — Troubleshooting

for information to correct the failure.

communications (also The following occurs when parameters are changed from the keyboard:
refer to Gateway
manual — Section 10)
LOCAL SETPOINT
When the local setpoint is changed, its new value will be entered into non-
volatile memory as soon as another key is pressed (other than raise/lower).
If no other key is pressed, the new setpoint is automatically entered into
non-volatile memory ONE-HALF MINUTE following the last change.
Obviously, if someone turns power off a unit within one-half minute
following a setpoint change and during which there was no further
keyboard activity, the new setpoint will not be remembered when power is
restored.

OTHER THAN SETPOINT

When any parameter, other than setpoint, is changed, its new value will be
entered into non-volatile memory as soon as another key (other than
raise/lower) is pressed. If no other key is pressed, the new parameter is
automatically entered into non-volatile memory at one minute following
the last change. Obviously, if someone turns the power off a unit within
one minute following a parameter change (other than setpoint) and during
which there was no further keyboard activity, the new parameter value
will not be remembered when power is restored.

MONITORING DMCS COMMUNICATIONS

When a Limit Controller (non-FM models only) goes into “slave” mode,
the LED indicator for RSP goes “ON” indicating “SLAVE” mode. Also,
the ▲▼ keys do not work. You cannot make any adjustments to the
configurable parameters.

5.6 Alarm Setpoints

Introduction An alarm consists of a relay contact and an operator interface indication.

The alarm is de-energized if Setpoint 1 or Setpoint 2 is exceeded. The
alarm is energized when the monitored value goes into the allowed region
by more than the hysteresis.

The relay contacts can be wired for normally open (NO) or normally
closed (NC) at the rear terminals. See Section 2 — Installation for details.

There are four alarm setpoints, two for each alarm. The type and state
(High or Low) is selected during configuration. See Section 3 —
Configuration for details.

Procedure for The procedure for displaying and changing the alarm setpoints is listed in

5.7 Restarting After Power Loss

Power-up logic Configurable power-up logic lets you select the latching output relay to
require “reset” or to provide normal operation at power-up.

If the power to the controller fails and power is reapplied, the controller
goes through power-up tests then starts in one of the following
configurable conditions:

Display indications If you have configured:

UPPER DISPLAY = RESET
LOWER DISPLAY = POWER UP

■ The lower display will alternately blink the limit setpoint value and
the word “LIMIT.” This will require reset via the [RESET] key or
external switch to obtain normal operation.

If you have configured:

UPPER DISPLAY = NORMAL
LOWER DISPLAY = POWER UP

■ The displays and controller will function normally; i.e., no reset of

latching relay is required unless a limit has been exceeded. If the
limit was latched when power went down, the unit will be in limit at
power-up.

Refer to the Configuration section under Set Up prompt “LIMIT” and

make your selection at Function prompt “POWER UP.”

 Section 6 – Input Calibration
6.1 Overview

Introduction This section describes the field calibration procedures for Input 1.
Every UDC3300 Limit controller contains all input actuation ranges fully
factory calibrated and ready for configuration to range by the user.
However, these procedures can be implemented if the factory calibration
of the desired range is not within specifications.
Note that the field calibration will be lost if a change in input type
configuration is implemented at a later time. The original factory
calibration data remains available for later use after a field calibration is
done.

How to Apply Digital Instrumentation in Severe Electrical Noise
Environments

9.1 Overview

Guideline overview Products that incorporate digital technology provide recognized

performance advantages over conventional analog instrumentation used
for process control. These advantages can result in better product
uniformity and greater overall efficiency when used correctly.

There are, however, certain guidelines regarding installation and wiring

which must be carefully followed in order to achieve this performance. In
addition to the traditional precaution of the separation of signal and power
wiring in separate conduits, other measures must be taken to minimize the
effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency
interference (RFI) on the operation of the equipment. Otherwise, if high
level, short duration, noise spikes are permitted to enter the digital
equipment, the noise can be transferred into the system’s logic networks
and can be misinterpreted as signal data, resulting in erroneous system
operation and other unpredictable responses.

9.2 Potential Noise Sources

Overview Noise can enter electronic equipment via three methods of coupling,
namely:

• Capacitive (or electrostatic)

• Inductive (or magnetic)
• Impedance.

Capacitive and Capacitive and inductive coupling have the same essential effect — they
inductive coupling couple current or voltage, without any actual connection of the two
circuits. Impedance coupling requires a connection between the two
circuits. Typical noise-generating sources that could affect electronic
equipment through capacitive and inductive coupling include:

• Relay coils
• Solenoids
• AC power wires — particularly at or above 100 Vac
• Current carrying cables
• Thyristor field exciters
• Radio frequency transmissions.

Impedance coupled Impedance-coupled noise may enter by way of the lines used to power the
noise digital equipment or by way of improper grounding. Most power lines, at
typical industrial locations, are far from noise-free. The noise on them can
be generated in many ways, but are nearly always associated with
switching circuits of some nature.

These include:

• Large relays
• Contactors
• Motor starters
• Business and industrial machines
• Power tools
• HID (high intensity discharge) lights
• Silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) that are phase-angled fired.

9.3 Prevention Methods

Introduction There are three ways to prevent electrical noise from interfering with the
operation of the electronic digital equipment.

• Built-in noise rejection

• Separation of signal and power lines
• Noise suppression at source

Built-in noise The first method is to design the digital equipment with a high degree of
rejection noise rejection built-in. This includes housing the equipment in a case that
will provide shielding, liberal use of noise rejection filters and opto-
isolators, and the use of noise suppressors on potential noise sources
within the equipment itself. This, of course, is the responsibility of the
manufacturer who usually performs extensive laboratory and field testing
of newly designed digital equipment to insure the adequacy of its
immunity to noise. As a minimum requirement, the equipment should be
able to pass the tests outlined in the IEEE Standard 472-1974 (Surge
Withstand Capacity Tests).

Signal and power line The second method is to prevent noise from getting on the signal and
separation power lines that are connected to the equipment. This is achieved by
proper separation and shielding of those lines. In some cases, separate
power lines or special power line regulation or filtering may be required
for satisfactory electronic digital equipment operation. It is the
responsibility of the installer to follow good wiring practices.

Suppression at the The third prevention method is to suppress the noise at its source. This is
source the most effective but also the most difficult because it is not easy to
identify all of the potential noise sources in a typical industrial
installation. Therefore, “suppression” is usually a last resort for those
extreme situations where the other methods are insufficient by themselves.
See Noise Suppression at Source which follows.

9.4 Recommended Wiring Practices

General rules • All wiring must conform to local codes and practices.
• Wires carrying similar types of signals (Table 9-1) may be bundled
together, but bundles with different types of signals must be kept
separated to prevent inductive or capacitive coupling.

Wire bundling Table 9-1 shows what wiring should be bundled together to prevent
inductive or capacitive coupling.

9.4 Recommended Wiring Practices, Continued

Additional rules Please observe these additional rules for wire bundling:

• For distances over five (5) feet, and when shielding is recommended,
use a separate metal tray or conduit for each bundle. Where conduits or
trays are not practical, use twisted wires with a metal overbraid and
provide physical separation of at least one foot.

• Tray covers must be in continuous contact with the side rails of the
trays.

• When unlike signal levels must cross, either in trays or conduits, they
should cross at a 90-degree angle and at a maximum spacing. Where it
is not possible to provide spacing, a grounded steel barrier or grid
should be placed between the unlike levels at the crossover points.

• Trays containing low level wiring should have solid bottoms and sides.
Tray covers must be used for complete shielding. Tray cover contact
with side rails must be positive and continuous to avoid high reluctance
air gaps, which impair shielding. Trays for low level cables should be
metal and solidly grounded.

• Wires containing low level signals should not be routed near any of the
following:
– Contactors
– Motors
– Generators
– Radio transmitters
– Wires carrying high current that is being switched on and off.

• Use a 12-gage (or heavier) insulated stranded wire for the ground
connection. Attach it firmly to a proven good earth ground such as a
metal stake driven into the ground.

• All shields should be grounded at one end only — preferably the

instrument end.

9.5 Power Source Considerations

Operate within limits The AC power for the digital electronic equipment must be within the
voltage and frequency limits specified for that equipment. Attempts to
operate outside the specified limits will result in no performance. For
those installations where the supply voltage will not stay within the
specified limits, a ferroresonant transformer, for voltage resolution, should
be used.

Independent AC For protection against noise, the AC source for the digital electronic
source equipment should be independent of all other loads especially when
switching loads are involved. For example, it should not provide power
for air-conditioning, convenience outlets, lighting, motors, or similar
noise- generating devices. To obtain electrical isolation (see Figure 9-1) a
separate transformer is required to supply power to the digital equipment.
For additional noise and transient rejection, shielded primary and
secondary windings may be required. And, if necessary, power line filters
may be added to attenuate noise signals that have a higher frequency than
the power line frequency.

equipment power to digital equipment.

9.6 Noise Suppression at the Source

Introduction Generally speaking, when good wiring practices are used with well-
designed digital electronic equipment, no further noise protection is
necessary. However, in some severe electrical environments, the
magnitude of the electrical noise is so great that it must be suppressed at
the source. In most control cabinets, the main sources of noise are motor
starters, contactors, relays, and switching gear. For this reason, many
manufacturers of these devices supply “surge suppressors” which mount
directly on the noise source, (for example, on the coil of a control relay or
motor starter).

For those devices that do not have accessory “surge suppressors,”

resistance-capacitance (RC) circuits and/or voltage limiters such as metal
varistors may be added when and where needed. This can be broken down
into two categories, namely inductive loads (for example, a relay switch
in series with a relay coil) and contacts.

Inductive coils
Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) are recommended for transient
suppression in inductive coils. An MOV is connected in parallel with the
coil and is as close as physically possible to the coil (see Figure 9-2).
MOV devices (listed in Table 9-2) are recommended for general purpose
applications.

Table 9-2 lists part numbers for recommended MOV devices.

Additional protection may be provided by adding an RC circuit in parallel

with the MOV. This consists of a 220-ohm resistor in series with a 0.5
microfarad, 1000V capacitor. The power rating of the resistor will depend
on the voltage rating of the coil (see Table 9-3).

9.6 Noise Suppression at the Source, Continued

Contacts When a contact interrupts an inductive load, a certain amount of energy is

stored in the load. An MOV or RC circuit in parallel with the load
provides a place where this energy may be dissipated. However, if there is
no MOV or RC circuit, the energy may create a visible electrical arc
across the open contacts. This, in turn, results in electrical noise as well as
damage to the contacts.

One way to eliminate this arc is to connect a resistor and capacitor across
the contacts (see Figure 9-3). A combination of 47 ohms and 0.1
microfarads (1000 Vdc) is recommended for circuits up to 3 amps and 300
Vac. For voltages above 2000 Vac, an MOV across the contact may be
added for extra protection.

Figure 9-3 is an illustration of a resistor and capacitor connected across a

contact to eliminate electrical noise.

For large load currents, a rule of thumb is to size the capacitor so that the
number of microfarads equals the number of amperes in the load current,
and the resistor has the same resistance value as the load. The objective is
to eliminate the visible arc.

Either discreet resistors and capacitors or packaged RC networks may be

used. An RC network (47 ohms and 0.1 microfarad) is available as part
number 30371852-001. Similar RC networks are available from
Electrocube Inc. (part number RG1782-3) and from Industrial Condensor
Corporation.

Contacts, continued In DC circuits, the power dissipation under steady state condition can be
eliminated by placing a diode (in series with a resistor) in parallel with the
load (see Figure 9-4). The value of R should be less than or equal to the
DC resistance of the inductive load.

Figure 9-4 is an illustration of DC load noise suppression.
