SAFETY ALERTS
The symbols below are used on the equipment and throughout this document to draw the user's attention to important operational and safety information.

CAUTION:
Read the manual thoroughly before installing and operating
the equipment.

CAUTION OR DANGER: Electrical shock hazard.

All safety related instructions that appear in the manual must be observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to either the instrument or the system. If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

INSTALLATION / CONNECTIONS
The controller should be fixed to a panel, following the sequence of steps below: · Make a cutout in the panel according to the Specifications. · Remove the controller fixing clip. · Insert the controller into the cutout from the front of the panel. · Replace the clip on the controller, pressing until it is well fixed.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
· Input signal conductors should run through the plant separately from output and supply conductors. If possible, in grounded conduits.
· The power supply for electronic instruments must come from a network dedicated to the instrumentation.
· The use of RC FILTERS (noise suppressors) in contactor coils, solenoids, etc. is recommended.
· In control applications, it is essential to consider what can happen when any part of the system fails. The controller's internal devices do not provide full protection.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The figure below shows the connections on the back panel of the controller:

MEASUREMENT RANGE

Thermocouple J Tc j Range: -110 to 950 ºC (-166 to 1742 ºF)

Thermocouple K Tc k Range: -150 to 1370 ºC (-238 to 2498 ºF) Thermocouple T Tc t Range: -160 to 400 ºC (-256 to 752 ºF)

Pt100

Pt Range: -200 to 850 ºC (-328 to 1562 ºF)

Table 1 ­ Input types

The input type should be the first parameter to be configured. Any modifications on the input type will automatically change other related parameters. When changing the sensor type, you should check the overall condition of the configuration.

OUTPUTS The controller has two outputs. You can configure these outputs to operate as Control Output ((trl) or Alarm Output (a1).
OUT1: - N1030-PR: Output voltage pulse, 5 Vdc / 25 mA - N1030-RR: Output Relay SPST-NO OUT2: - Output Relay SPST-NO

CONTROL OUTPUT ((TRL)
The process control output can operate in ON/OFF mode or in PID mode.
To operate in ON/OFF mode, the value set in parameter PB must be 0.0.
With values other than zero in parameter PB, the controller operates in PID mode. The values for the PID parameters can be set automatically with the help of Auto Tune (ATvN).

ALARM OUTPUT (A1)
The controller has an alarm that can be directed to any of the outputs. When enabled, you can configure the alarm to operate with one of the functions described in Table 02:

off Alarm off.

Alarm of absolute minimum value. It triggers when the lo value of measured PV is below the value defined for alarm Setpoint (SPA1).

PV SPA1

Alarm of absolute maximum

value. It triggers when the PV
ki value of measured PV is

above the value defined for

SPA1

alarm Setpoint (SPA1).

Open sensor alarm. It triggers when the input presents problems such as a broken sensor, poorly connected sensor etc.

Table 2 ­ Alarm functions

Important note: Alarms configured with the ki, dif, and difk functions also trigger their associated output when a sensor fault is identified and signaled by the controller. A relay output, for example, configured to function as a Higher Alarm (ki), will operate when the SPA1 value is exceeded and when the sensor connected to the controller input is broken.

ALARM INITIAL BLOCKING
The Initial Blocking option inhibits the alarm from being triggered if an alarm condition exists when the controller is turned on. The alarm is triggered only after the process goes through a non-alarm condition.
The initial blocking is useful, for example, when one of the alarms is configured as a minimum value alarm, which can cause the alarm to be triggered as soon as the process is started (a behavior that is often undesired).
The initial block is not valid for the ierr function.

OFFSET
Function that allows you to make a small adjustment to the PV indication. Allows you to correct measurement errors that appear, for example, when replacing the temperature sensor.

OPERATION
The front panel of the controller can be seen in the figure below:

Figure 2 ­ Front panel identification Display: Displays the measured variable, configuration parameter symbols and their respective values/conditions. TUNE Indicator: Stays on while the controller is in tuning process. OUT Indicator: Signals the control output(s) status. A1 and A2 Indicators: Signal the occurrence of an alarm condition.
NOVUS AUTOMATION

N1030 Controller

P Key: Key used to advance the successive parameters and parameter cycles.
Increment key and Decrement key: Keys used to change parameter values.
Back key: Key used to move back parameters during configuration.

OPERATION
When turned on, the controller shows the software version for the first 3 seconds, then it shows the value of the measured process variable (PV) in the upper display. In the lower display, it shows the SP value. This is the Indication Screen.
To be used in a process, the controller must be previously configured. To configure it, each of the various parameters presented must be defined. You must understand the importance of each parameter and determine a valid condition or value.
The configuration parameters are gathered in affinity groups, called parameter cycles. The 3 parameter cycles are:
1 ­ Tuning / 2 ­ Input / 3 ­ Calibration
The P key gives access to the cycles and their parameters.
By keeping the P key pressed, every 2 seconds the controller jumps from one cycle to another, presenting the first parameter of each cycle:
PV >> atvn >> type >> PASS >> PV ...
To enter the desired cycle, simply release the P key when the first parameter is displayed. To move forward through the parameters of that cycle, use the P key. To go backwards through the parameters, use the key.
The symbol of each parameter is shown in the upper display. Its respective value/condition is shown in the lower display.
Depending on the configuration protection that you have adopted, the PASS parameter is shown as the first parameter of the cycle where the protection starts. See CONFIGURATION PROTECTION chapter.

CALIBRATION CYCLE
All input types are calibrated at the factory. If a recalibration is necessary, it must be performed by a specialized professional. If this cycle is accessed accidentally, do not promote changes in its parameters.
pass Password. This parameter is shown before the protected cycles. See CONFIGURATION PROTECTION chapter.
(al Calibration. Allows you to enable the function to calibrate the controller. When the function is not enabled, the calibration of the related parameters will remain hidden.
inL( Input Low Calibration. Allows you to enter the value corresponding to the low scale signal applied to the analog input.
ink( Input High Calibration. Allows you to enter the value corresponding to the full-scale signal applied to the analog input.
rstr Restore. Allows you to reset the input factory calibrations, disregarding all changes made.
Pas.( Password Change. Allows you to set a new access password, always different from zero.
Prot Protection. Allows you to define the protection cycle. See Table 03.

CONFIGURATION PROTECTION
The controller allows you to protect its configuration, preventing undue changes. In the Calibration cycle, the Protection parameter (PROt) determines the protection cycle to be adopted, limiting access to the cycles, as shown in the table below:

PROTECTION CYCLE 1 2 3
4

PROTECTION CYCLE
Only Calibration cycle is protected. Calibration and Input cycles are protected. Calibration, Input, and Tuning cycles are protected. All cycles (including SP) are protected.
Table 3 ­ Protection cycles

ACCESS PASSWORD
To access the Calibration cycle, a password is required. If entered correctly, it allows changing the configuration of the parameters of these cycles, including the Protection parameter (PROt).
You can set the password in the Password Change parameter (PAS.(), which is also present in the Calibration cycle. The controllers leave the factory with the password set to 1111.

PROTECTION ACCESS PASSWORD
The controller has a security system that helps prevent the entry of numerous passwords to guess the correct password. Once 5 consecutive invalid passwords are identified, the controller stops accepting passwords for 10 minutes.

MASTER PASSWORD
If you forget the password, you can use the Master Password feature. When entered, this password gives access and allows changing the Password Change parameter (PAS(). This makes it possible to set a new password for the controller.
The master password is formed by the last three digits of the controller serial number plus the number 9000.
Example: For a device with serial number 07154321, the master password is 9321.
You can get the serial number of the controller by pressing key for 5 seconds.

PID PARAMETERS DEFINITION
During auto-tuning, the process is controlled in ON/OFF mode at the programmed setpoint (SP). In some processes the auto-tuning can take many minutes to complete. The recommended procedure for its execution is:
· Set the desired SP value for the process.
· On the Atvn screen, enable automatic tuning by selecting FAST or FULL.
The FAST option performs the tuning in the minimum possible time. The FULL option prioritizes a more precise tuning.
During automatic tuning, the TUNE indicator remains lit on the front of the controller. You must wait until the tuning is finished before you can use the controller.
During the execution of the automatic tuning, there will be PV oscillations in the process around the Setpoint.
If the tuning does not result in satisfactory control, Table 04 presents guidelines on how to correct the process behavior.

MAINTENANCE
PROBLEMS WITH THE CONTROLLER
Wiring errors and improper programming represent most of the problems that can occur when using the controller. A final review can avoid wasted time and losses.
The controller presents some messages that are intended to help you identify problems.

MESSAGE ---Err1
Err2

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION Open input. No sensor or signal. Error in the Pt100 sensor connections.
Internal error in the analog input (*).

Err4

The equipment has rebooted due to an internal error.

Err7 Error in the retentive memory.

Err8 Error when reading Cold Junction.

Table 5 ­ Error messages

(*) Error 2 can combine with errors 1 and 8, producing errors 3 and 10, respectively.
Other error messages displayed by the controller represent internal damages that necessarily imply sending the equipment for maintenance.

INPUT CALIBRATION
All controller input types leave the factory already calibrated. Recalibration is not recommended for inexperienced operators. If it is necessary to recalibrate an input, proceed as follows: a) In the type parameter, set the input type to be calibrated.
b) Program the lower and upper SP limits for the extremes of the input type.
c) Access the Calibration cycle.
d) Enter the access password. e) In parameter (alib, enable the calibration by setting YES.
