Instruction Manual
Manual operation
Changing between automatic and manual mode is by pressing key H. The manual mode influences only the slave
controller. The master is concerned only indirectly.
The bargraph display switches over to slave variable Y. Adjustment of the correcting variable is via the value beside
the bargraph.
+
The setpoint switchover and adjustment operations influence the master controller !
The following rules apply to the bargraph display :
w
When X or XW display is selected for the master bargraph display, the display value from the master controller is
taken over.
w
If Y display is selected, the slave bargraph value is used.
Faulty wiring of a controller cascade
If an invalid cascade circuit was built up in the engineering, e.g.
with the cascade input not connected to output Bl-no of a master
controller, the control function is not operable.
Error signalling is in the display field for the cascade:
Display: CErr
Multiple cascade
A cascade control loop can be built up from a master controller with one or several slave controllers (see Fig. 76 : Level
control example with three subordinated flow controllers). Cascade operation is from the slave controller page. Display
of the master operating page should be suppressed (hide=1).
Operator interface activation for cascade control is automatic for controllers the Casc input of which is connected with
the Bl-no output of another controller.
In the above example, 3 flow controllers operate as slave controllers for level control. All three slave controllers offer
the operator interface for level control with a separate operating page. Master tracking during manual mode of the
slave as specified for simple cascade control in the example cannot be used without detailed considerations, because
1. two further cascade branches are still intact, when one controller is in manual mode
2. it is not clear, which process value should be used for tracking, when all controllers are in manual mode
