INTRODUCING THE DCP 100T The DCP 100T Digital Controller Programmer is a powerful, easy-to-use -DIN setpoint programmer with full PID control capability (complete with Self-Tune and Pre-Tune facilities). Its standard features are: • Up to eight programs of up to 16 free-format (e.g. dwell, ramp, join or end) segments each.
Page 7
• Support software (Off-Line Configurator, On-Line Graphic Program Editor) - operates via RS485 communications link. The Digital Controller Programmer has four operating modes: Base Mode: Day-to-day PID control operations with no program running. In this mode, a program may be selected to run. Program Run Mode: A selected program is running, held or waiting for a pre-defined delay before starting.

INDICATORS 2.2.1 Control Status Indicators ON - Self-Tune active; flashing - Pre-Tune active ALM Flashes when any alarm active OUT1 ON when primary control outputis active OUT2 ON when secondary control output (if fitted) is active. MAN ON when Manual Control is selected. 2.2.2 Run Status Indicators RUN ON - Program running or (if HLD ON also) program held...
ALARM STATUS INDICATION When any alarm is active, the ALM indicator will flash. To view the alarm status in the Message Display, press the SET UP key until a display appears of the form: Appears only if Alarm 1 is active Appears only if Alarm 2 is active Appears only if the Loop Alarm is active Figure 2-3...
PROGRAMS SELECTING AND RUNNING A PROGRAM With no program running, the Digital Controller Programmer is in Base Mode and the RUN and HLD indicators are OFF. In this mode, select a program as follows: 1. Hold down the PROG key un til the re quired pro gram number is dis played.
JUMPING TO THE NEXT SEGMENT At any time during a program’s execution, the operator may jump forward to the next segment by simultaneously pressing the PROG and Up keys. Note that, since pro grams may be joined or set to cy cle, jump ing past the last seg ment in a pro gram may re sult in changes in the Pro gram Num ber and Cy cle Count.
ABORTING A PROGRAM The operator may abort (i.e. terminate) the current program by holding down the Run/Hold key for more than five seconds. When the program is aborted, a return is made to the Base Mode and the Message Display will show: This message will be removed by the next keypress.
ADJUSTING THE SETPOINT With the Digital Controller Programmer in Base Mode (i.e. with the RUN, HLD, SET and PRG indicators OFF), the two main displays will show the process variable value (upper display) and the setpoint value (lower display - Read Only). To change the setpoint value: 1.
USING THE SELF-TUNE FACILITY The Self-Tune facility is used to optimise tuning whilst the Controller part of the Digital Controller Programmer is operating. Self Tune may be activated as follows: 1. With the Digi tal Con trol ler Pro gram mer in Base Mode (with the RUN and HLD in di ca tors OFF), press the SET UP key un til the Mes sage Dis play shows: and the lower Main Dis play shows:...
USING THE PRE-TUNE FACILITY The Pre-Tune facility is used to set the Digital Controller Programmer’s PID control parameters to values which are approximately correct in order to provide a base from which the Self-Tune facility may subsequently optimise tuning. Pre-Tune may be activated as follows: 1.
MANUAL CONTROL In any mode except Configuration Mode or Calibration Mode, the operator may select manual control of the process by simultaneously pressing the SET UP and MODE keys. The Digital Controller Programmer will then enter Base Mode or (if a program is currently running) Program Run Mode with the program held.
DEFINING AND VIEWING A PROGRAM (PROGRAM DEFINE MODE) The Digital Controller Programmer may be put into Program Define Mode from either Base Mode or Program Run Mode (i.e. with a program currently running). ENTRY INTO PROGRAM DEFINE MODE 1. Press the SET UP and Up keys si mul ta ne ously. The lower Main Dis play will show 0 and the Mes sage Dis play will show: 2.

There are no restrictions on joining programs; several programs can be joined to one program (e.g. to provide user-selectable warm-up programs, depending upon which program is run first). The Cycle feature can be used to make more complex program sequences. Consider the two simple example programs previously described: PROGRAM 1 PROGRAM 2...
PROGRAM 1 PROGRAM 1 PROGRAM 2 10 cycles At the end of the tenth cycle of Program 2, the program sequence would end. BASIC RULES TO REMEMBER In any program sequence: • A pro gram end ing in a Join Marker will per form the re quired number of cy cles of it self be fore join ing the new pro gram.
DEFINING THE CONTROLLER PARAMETERS (CONTROLLER DEFINE MODE) Entry can be made into this mode from Program Define Mode, Program Run Mode or Base Mode. To enter from Base Mode or Program Run Mode: 1. Press the SET UP and Up keys si mul ta ne ously. The lower Main Dis play will show 0 and the Mes sage Dis play will show: 2.
Upon en try into Con trol ler De fine Mode, the SET in di ca tor will come ON and the first of the Con trol ler pa rame ters (In put Fil ter Time Con stant) will be pre sented for ed it ing/view ing.
