E5AK
Pay Attention to the Following when Installing
this Controller
F If you remove the controller from its case, never touch nor apply shock to the electronic
parts inside.
F Do not cover the area around the E5AK. (Ensure sufficient space around the controller
to allow heat radiation.)
F Use a voltage (AC100-240V or AC/DC24V at 50 to 60 Hz). At power ON, the pre-
scribed voltage level must be attained within two seconds.
F When wiring input or output lines to your controller, keep the following points in mind
to reduce the influence from inductive noise:
• Allow adequate space between the high voltage/current power lines and the input/out-
put lines.
• Avoid parallel or common wiring with high voltage sources and power lines carrying
large currents.
• Using separating pipes, duct, and shielded line is also useful in protecting the controller,
and its lines form inductive noise.
F Allow as much space as possible between the controller and devices that generate a pow-
erful, high frequency (high-frequency welders, high-frequency sewing machines, and so
forth) or surge. These devices may cause malfunctions.
F If there is a large power-generating peripheral device and any of its lines, attach a surge
suppressor or noise filter to the device to stop the noise affecting the controller system.
In particular, motors, transformers, solenoids and magnetic coils have an inductance
component, and therefore can generate very strong noises.
F When mounting a noise filter, be sure to first check the filter’s voltage and current
capacity, then mount the filter as close as possible to the controller.
F Do not use the controller in places where icing, condensation, dust, corrosive gas (espe-
cially sulfurized gas or ammonia gas), shock, vibration, splashing liquid, or oil atmo-
sphere occur. Also, avoid places where the controller can be subjected to intense heat
radiation (like from a furnace) or sudden temperature changes.
F Ambient temperature must be kept between -10_C to 55_C. Ambient humidity must be
kept between 35%RH to 85%RH (with no icing or condensation). If the controller is
installed inside a control board, the ambient temperature must be kept under 55_C,
including the temperature around the controller. If the controller is subjected to heat
radiation, use a fan to cool the surface of the controller to under 55_C.
F Store the controller at an ambient temperature between -25_C to 65_C. The ambient
humidity must be between 35%RH to 85%RH (with no icing or condensation).
F Never place heavy objects on, or apply pressure to the controller that may cause it to
deform and deterioration during use or storage.
F Avoid using the controller in places near a radio, television set, or wireless installation.
These devices can cause radio disturbances which adversely affect the performance of
the controller.

The E5AK supports the following five outputs.
Control output 1
Control output 2
Auxiliary output 1
Auxiliary output2
Transfer output
When using control outputs 1 and 2, set the output unit (sold separately).
Nine output units are available to suit the output circuit configuration.
When using transfer output, add on the communication unit (E53-AKF).
Note: The output functions of the E5AK do not operate for five seconds af-
ter the E5AK is turned ON.
The E5AK supports the following ten output functions.
Control output (heat)
Control output (cool)
Alarms 1 to 3

Error 1 (input error)
Error 2 (A/D converter error)
Error 3 (RSP input error)
Assign these output functions to control output 1, control output 2, auxil-
iary output1, and auxiliary output2.
However, note that as control output 1 is used as the open output and con-
trol output 2 is used as close output on a position-proportional type con-
troller (E5AK-PRR2), control outputs 1 and 2 cannot be used as assign-
ment destinations. Also, of the output functions, control output (heat),
control output (cool), HBA and LBA are disabled.
On a standard type controller, there are restrictions on how assignment
destinations (control output 1, control output2, auxiliary output1, and
auxiliary output2) can be used. For details, see 3.3 Setting Output Specifi-
cations.
In the example on the previous page, “control output (heat)” is assigned
to “control output 1”, “alarm 1” is assigned to “control output 2”, and
“alarm 2” is assigned to “auxiliary output 1”. Accordingly, the configura-
tion is such that heating control output is connected to control output 1,
and alarm output is connected to control output 2 and auxiliary output 1.

Level 0 mode
Level 1 mode
Level 2 mode
Setup mode
Expansion mode
Option mode
Calibration mode
The settings of parameters in each of seven modes (excluding the protect
mode and manual mode) can be checked and modified by selection on the
menu display.
This mode is used to limit use of the menu and A/M keys. The protect func-
tion is for preventing unwanted modification of parameters and switching
between the auto and manual operation.
In this mode, the controller can be switched manual operation. The
manipulated variable can be manipulated manually only in this mode.
Set the controller to this mode during normal operation. In this mode, you
may change the set point during operation, and stop and start operation.
You can also monitor (not change) the process value, ramp SP and manip-
ulated variable.
This is the main mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can execute
AT (auto-tuning), and set alarm values, the control period and PID param-
eters.
This is the auxiliary mode for adjusting control. In this mode, you can set
the parameters for limiting the manipulated variable, switch between the
remote and local modes, switch between the SP modes, and set the loop
break alarm (LBA), alarm hysteresis and the digital filter value of inputs.
This is the mode for setting the basic specifications. In this mode, you can
set parameters that must be checked or set before operation such as the
input type, scaling, output assignments and direct/reverse operation.
This is the mode for setting expanded functions. In this mode, you can set
ST (self-tuning), SP setting limiter, selection of advanced PID or ON/OFF
control, specification of the standby sequence resetting method, time for
automatic return to the monitoring display.
This is the mode for setting option functions. You can select this mode only
when the option unit is set in the controller. In this mode, you can set the
communications conditions, transfer output and event input parameters

1.4 About the Communications Function
The E5AK can be provided with a communications function that allows
you to check and set controller parameters from a host computer. If the
communications function is required, add on the communications unit.
For details on the communications function, refer to Chapter 6.
F RS-232C When using the communications function on the RS-232C interface, add
on the communications unit (E53-AK01).
F RS-422 When using the communications function on the RS-422 interface, add on
the communications unit (E53-AK02).

1.1 Names of parts
F Calibrating
inputs
F Calibrating trans-
fer output
F Registering cal-
ibration data
The E5AK controller is calibrated before shipment from the factory. So,
the user need not calibrate the E5AK controller during regular use.
However, if the E5AK controller must be calibrated by the user, use the
parameters provided for user to calibrate temperature input, analog input
(voltage, current) and transfer output.
Also, note that calibration data is updated to the latest value each time the
E5AK controller is calibrated. Calibration data set before shipment from
the factory cannot be returned to after calibration by the user.
The input type selected in the parameter is the item to be calibrated. The
E5AK is provided with the following four calibration parameters.
• Thermocouple
• Platinum resistance thermometer
• Current input
• Voltage input
Two parameters are provided for thermocouple and voltage input.
Transfer output can be calibrated when the communications unit
(E53-AKF) is added on.
When calibrating each item, the calibration data is temporarily regis-
tered. This data can be registered as final calibration data only when all
items have been newly calibrated. So, all items must be temporarily regis-
tered when calibrating the E5AK controller.
When registering data, information regarding whether or not calibration
has been carried out is also registered.
To calibrate these items, the user must prepare separate measuring
devices and equipment. For details on handling these measuring devices
and equipment, refer to the respective manuals.
For details, see Chapter 7 Calibration.

3.2 Setting Input Specifications
J Input type • Set the type No. (0 to 21) in the “input type” parameter. The factory set-
ting is “2: K1 (thermocouple).”
• For details on input types and setting ranges, see page 5-26.
J Scaling • When the voltage input and current input are selected, scaling matched
to the control is required.
• The “scaling upper limit”, “scaling lower limit” and “decimal point”
parameters (setup mode) are use for scaling.
• The “scaling upper limit” parameter sets the physical quantity to be
expressed by the upper limit value of input, and the “scaling lower limit”
parameter sets the physical quantity to be expressed by the lower limit
value of input. The “decimal point” parameter sets the number of digits
past the decimal point.
• The following figure shows scaling example of 4 to 20 mA input. After
scaling, the humidity can be directly read. In this case, the “decimal
point” parameter is set to “1”.
Readout (humidity)
Scaling upper limit
value (95.0%)
Scaling lower limit
value (10.0%)
Input (4 to 20 mA)

100%FS
F Input shift
• When temperature input is selected, scaling is not required. This is
because input is treated as the “temperature” as it is matched to the
input type. However, note that the upper and lower limit values of the
sensor can be shifted. For example, if both the upper and lower limit val-
ues are shifted by 1.2_C, the process value (before shift) is regarded as
201.2_C after shift when input is 200_C before shift.
• To set input shift, set shift values in the “input shift upper limit” and
“input shift lower limit” parameters (level 2 mode).

With control output (cool), the conditions for switching from standard control
to heating and cooling control are reached when the output function is assigned
at the cooling side during heating and cooling control.
In other words, heating and cooling control is carried out when control
output (cool) is assigned, and standard control is carried out when out-
put is not assigned. For details on heating and cooling control, see 4.1
Selecting the Control Method (page 4-2).

J Direct/reverse
operation
J Control period
• “Direct operation” (or normal operation) refers to control where the
manipulated variable is increased according to the increase in the pro-
cess value. Alternatively, “reverse operation” refers to control where the
manipulated variable is decreased according to the decrease in the pro-
cess value.
For example, when the process value (PV), is lower than the set point
(SP), in a heating control system, the manipulated variable increases by
the difference between the PV and SP values.
Accordingly, this becomes “reverse operation” in a heating control system.
Alternatively, this becomes “direct operation” in a cooling control system.
• Direct/reverse operation is set in the [ ]“direct/reverse operation”
parameter (setup mode).
• When the output unit is pulse output such as relay output, set the pulse
output cycle (control period). Though a shorter pulse period provides
better control performance, the control period should be set taking the
life expectancy of the output unit into consideration when the output
unit is relay.
• The control period is set in the “control period (heat)” parameter (level
1 mode). Factory setting is “20:20 seconds.”
• The “control period (cool)” output function is not allocated. So, the
“control period (cool)” parameter cannot be set.

ation)”.
• Alarm values are indicated by “X” in the table above. Alarm output
operation differs according to whether the value of the alarm is positive
or negative.

• Alarm hysteresis is set independently for each alarm in the “alarm 1 to

0.02%FS”.
• “Standby sequence” is a function for unconditionally turning alarm out-
put OFF when the process value has left the alarm range once and it next
enters the alarm range.
• For example, when the alarm type is set to “deviation lower limit,” gener-
ally the process value is within the alarm range, and alarm output
become ON as it is as the process value when the power is turned ON is
smaller than the set point. However, if the alarm type is set to “deviation
lower limit with standby sequence”, alarm output first becomes ON
when the process value exceeds the alarm setting value to leave the
alarm range and once again falls below the alarm value.
J Close in alarm/open in alarm
• When the controller is set to “close in alarm,” the status of the alarm out-
put function is output as it is. When set to “open in alarm,” the status of
the alarm output function is output inverted.

When a set point for a temperature exceeds 10%, alarm1 will be output.
In this example, let’s set the parameters as follows:
“alarm type 1” = “1: (deviation upper-and lower-limit)”
“alarm value 1” = “10”
“alarm hysteresis” = “0.20”
“close in alarm/open in alarm”= “ : close in alarm”
Meanings of parameters, “alarm histeresis” and “open in alarm/close in
alarm” are the same settings at the shipment, so settings for operations
are omitted.

or keys. For details on selecting the menu display, see page 1-8.
(2) Press the key to enter the setup mode. The top parameter in the
setup mode [ ] “input type” is displayed. In this example, the
parameter setting is “17: 4 to 20 mA”.
(3) Press the key until [ ] (“alarm type 1” parameter) is dis-
played. The parameter default is “2: deviation upper limit”.
(4) Press the key to return to “1: deviation upper-and lower-limit”.
(5) Select the menu key, and select [ ] (level 1 mode) using the
or keys. For details on selecting the menu display, see page 1-8.
(6) Press the key to enter the level 1 mode. The top parameter in the
level 1 mode [ ] “AT execute/cancel” is displayed.
(7) Press the key until [ ] (“alarm value 1” parameter) is dis-
played.
(8) In this example, the parameter setting is “0.0” so press the key
until “10.0” is displayed.
The decimal point of the alarm value conforms to the setting of the “decimal point”
parameter (setup mode). In this example, the “decimal point” parameter is set to
“1”. (During temperature input, the decimal point of the alarm value conforms to
the set sensor.)

3.5 Protect Mode
J Security • This parameter allows you to protect until start of operation parameters
that do not change during operation to prevent unwanted modification.
• The set value of the “security” (protect) parameter specifies the range
of protected parameters.
• When this parameter is set to “0”, parameters are not protected.
• When this parameter is set to “1” to “3”, the number of modes that can
be displayed on the menu display is limited.
When set to “1”, level 0 to 2, setup, expansion and option modes only can
be selected. When set to “2”, only level 0 to 2 modes can be selected. When
set to “3”, only level 0 and 1 modes can be selected.
• When this parameter is set to “4” to “6”, operations in only the level 0
mode can be selected, and the mode is not displayed on the menu display.
• When this parameter is set to “5”, only the “PV/SP” parameter can be
used.
• When this parameter is set to “6”, only the “PV/SP” parameter can be
used. (The set point can not change.)
• Default is “1”.
J A/M key protect • This parameter disables use of the A/M key during operation. For exam-
ple, if you protect use of the A/M key by the “A/M key protect” parameter
(protect mode) during auto operation, the controller cannot be set to the
manual mode, preventing manual operation of the controller during
operation.

CHAPTER 3 BASIC OPERATION
J Auto-tuning • AT (auto-tuning) cannot be executed while operation is canceled or dur-
(A.T.) ing ON/OFF control.
• When you execute auto-tuning, the optimum PID parameters are auto-
matically set by forcibly changing the manipulated variable to calculate
the characteristics (called the “limit cycle method”) of the control target.
During auto-tuning, the AT LED flashes.
• 40%AT or 100%AT can be selected by the limit cycle of MV change width.
Specify [ ] or [ ], respectively, in the “AT execute/cancel” pa-
rameter (level 1 mode).
• During heating and cooling control and with position-proportional
type, only 100%AT can be executed. (So, [ ] (40%AT) will not be
displayed.)
• To cancel AT execution, specify [
] (“AT cancel”).
F 40%AT
Deviation at start of AT
In order to set the limit cycle of MV change width to 40%, select 40%AT
to execute auto-tuning with fluctuations in the process value kept to a
minimum. However, note that auto-tuning takes longer to execute
compared with 100%AT.
The timing by which limit cycles are generated varies according to wheth-
er or not the deviation (DV) at the start of AT execution is 10% full-scale
or less.

About PID Parame-
ters
In addition to AT, the E5AK is also provided with fuzzy self-tuning
(ST) that allows automatic calculation of the PID parameters
suited to the control target. However, note that the ST function op-
erates only during standard control by temperature input. For fur-
ther information regarding the ST, please see page 5-34 and A-14.
When control characteristics are already known, the PID parameters can be set
directly to adjust control.
PID parameters are set in the “proportional band” (P), “integrated time” (I) and
“derivative time” (D) parameters (level 1 mode).
For details on the setting ranges of these parameters, see chapter 5 Level 1 Mode
(page 5-13).

For details on how to assign outputs, see 3.3 Setting Output Specifications
(page 3-6).
• When heating and cooling control is selected, the “deadband” and “cool-
ing coefficient” parameters can be used.
The dead band is set with the set point as its center. The dead band width
is the set value of the “dead band” parameter (level 1 mode). Setting a posi-
tive value produces a dead band, while setting a negative value produces
an overlap band.

If the heating and cooling characteristics of the control target greatly dif-
fer, preventing satisfactory control characteristics from being obtained by
the same PID parameters, adjust the proportional band (P at cooling side)
using the cooling coefficient to balance control between the heating and
cooling sides. In heating and cooling control, P at the heating or cooling
side is calculated by the following formula:
Heating side P = P; Cooling side P = cooling coefficient ¢ P
• In heating and cooling control, the manipulated variable output that is
output when controller operation is stopped is dependent on the set
value of the “MV at stop” parameter (level 2 mode) in the same way as
for standard control.
• However, note that in heating and cooling control, the manipulated vari-
able at the cooling side is treated as a negative value for the sake of conve-
nience. When the manipulated variable at STOP is a negative value, the
manipulated variable is output to only the cooling side, and when a posi-
tive value, the manipulated variable is output to only the heating side.
The factory setting is “0”. If the controller is operated using the factory
setting, the manipulated variable is not output to both the heating and
cooling sides.
When the overlap band is set, the bumpless function that operates when switching
between manual and automatic operation may not work.

4.1 Selecting the Control Method
• Use the position-proportional type controller for position-proportional
control.
• On a position-proportional type controller, control output 1 is used for
open output, and control output 2 is used for close output. Accordingly,
control outputs 1 and 2 cannot be used as output assignments. Special
output units are already set on position-proportional type controllers.
• On a position-proportional type controller, the following functions are
disabled.

ON/OFF control
• The travel time is factory-set to “30 seconds.”
• To change the travel time, either set in the “travel time” parameter
(option mode), or execute motor calibration in the “motor calibration”
parameter (option mode).
• The valve opening can be monitored when a potentiometer is connected
to the controller. However, be sure to execute motor calibration after
connecting the potentiometer.
• The monitored valve opening is displayed on the bar graph in 10% incre-
ments.
• Open, close or hold can be selected as output at stop or PV error. Set these
outputs in the “manipulated variable at stop” or “manipulated variable
at PV error” parameters (level 2 mode).
• Set the dead band in the “position-proportional dead band” parameter
(level 1 mode).
• Set the open/close hysteresis in the “open/close hysteresis” parameter
(level 1 mode).

CHAPTER 4 APPLIED OPERATION
J ON/OFF control • Switching between advanced PID control and ON/OFF control is car-
ried out by the “PID / ON/OFF” parameter (expansion mode). When this
parameter is set to [
], advanced PID control is selected, and when
set to [
], ON/OFF control is selected. Default is [
].
F Hysteresis
• During position-proportional control, ON/OFF control cannot be
selected.
• In ON/OFF control, hysteresis is provided in the program when switch-
ing between ON and OFF to stabilize operation. The hysteresis width
provided during ON/OFF control is simply referred to as “hysteresis.”
Control output (heat) and control output (cool) functions are set in the
“hysteresis (heat)” and “hysterisis (cool)” parameters, respectively.
• In standard control (heating or cooling control), hysteresis can be set
only for the heating side.

J Set point limiter The setting range of the set point is limited by the set point limiter. The
upper-and lower-limit values of this set point limiter are set in the “Set

mode), respectively. However, note that when the set point limiter is reset,
the set point is forcibly changed to the upper-or lower-limit value of the set
point limiter if the set point is out of the limiter range. Also, when the in-
put type, temperature unit and scaling (sensor) range are changed, set
point limiter is forcibly reset to the scaling (sensor) range.

4.2 Operating Condition Restrictions
The change rate during the SP ramp is specified by the “SP ramp set value”
and “SP ramp time unit” parameters. At the “SP ramp set value” default
“0”, the SP ramp function is disabled.
The set point changing in SP ramp can be monitored in the “Set point dur-
ing SP ramp” parameter (level 0 mode).
The limiters are invalid or cannot be set when any of the following condi-
tions occurs:
If the SP ramp function is enabled when the power is turned ON, and when
“run” is switched to from “stop,” process value may reach the set point af-
ter SP ramp in the same way as when the set point is changed. In this case,
operation is carried out with the process value regarded as the set point
before the change was made.

4.3 How to Use Event Input
• When using event input, mount the option unit (E53-AKB). Up to two
E53-AKB units can be mounted on the E5AK, and two event inputs can
be used for each E53-AKB unit.
E53-AKB × 1 unit : 2 event inputs
E53-AKB × 2 units : 4 event inputs
• Event inputs can be switched up to 100,000 times.
J Event input • You can choose from the following five event input functions:
assignments Multi-SP
Run/Stop
Remote/Local
Auto/Manual
SP mode
• In the case of the multi-SP function, the number of event inputs (event
input 1 or 2) set in the “multi-SP function” parameter (option mode) are
used. When four event inputs are used, the multi-SP function is auto-
matically assigned to event inputs 1 and 2 for the designated number.
When two event inputs are used, the multi-SP function is automatically
assigned to event inputs 3 and 4 for the designated number.
• Other functions are assigned to event inputs 1 to 4 not used for the mul-
ti-SP function according to the setting of the “event input assignment 1 to
4” parameters (option mode). However, note that “event input assignment
1/2” parameters cannot be used when only one unit of the E53-AKB is
installed.

CHAPTER 4 APPLIED OPERATION
J Other event input functions
• Switch the parameter settings for each of the run/stop, remote/local and
SP modes.
• The switching operation of auto/manual is the same as that of the A/M
key.
• There is no order of priority in event input and key operations. However,
run/stop or auto/manual event inputs must be set to either of ON or OFF.
So, parameters will always follow event input even if you try to switch
settings by key operation.
F Run/Stop • When event input is set to “ON”, controller operation is stopped and the
“STOP” LED lights. The content of event input is reflected in the “run/
stop” parameter (level 0 mode).
F Remote/Local • This function is supported only when E53-AK01/02/03, the option unit
for serial communications, is installed.
• When event input is set to “ON”, parameters can be written only by
using the communications function, and the “RMT” LED lights. The
content of event input is reflected in the “remote/local” parameter (level
2 mode).
F Auto/Manual • When event input is set to “ON”, the controller is switched for manual
operation, and the “MANU” LED lights.
• Turn event input ON/OFF while the controller is ON.
F SP mode • This function is enabled only when the “SP mode enable” parameter
(option mode) is set to “ON”.
• When event input is set to “ON”, the remote SP (RSP) is taken as the set
point, and the “RSP” LED lights. When event input is set to “OFF”, the
local SP (LSP) is taken as the set point. The content of event input is
reflected in the “SP mode” parameter (level 2 mode). For details on RSP/
LSP, see 4.4 How to Use the Remote SP (page 4-11).

J Scaling
• Taking a remote SP input (4 to 20 mA) as the set point is referred to as
the “remote SP” function. The remote SP function is enabled only when
the “remote SP (RSP) enable” parameter (option mode) is set to “ON”.
• Remote SP upper-and lower-limit values can be set by scaling.
• Inputs within the range 4 to 20 mA (-10 to 110%) are allowed as remote
SP inputs. Inputs not within this range are regarded as out-of-range
input values. In this case, input is clamped at the remote SP lower or
upper limit values, and the “RSP” LED blinks.
• If the output function “RSP input error” is assigned for when an out-of-
range remote SP is input, the “RSP input error” output is turned ON.
Control output also switches to the setting of the “MV at PV error”
parameter.
• Set the upper limit value in the “remote SP upper limit” parameter and
the lower limit value in the “remote SP lower limit” parameter (option
mode).

• When the “Set point upper limit” or “Set point lower limit” parameters
are changed, the remote SP upper-and lower-limit values are forcibly
changed to the set poimt upper-and lower-limit values. The following
example shows how the remote SP upper-and lower-limit values are
changed when the set point upper limit value is changed from A to B.

(2) The SP shifts according to remote SP input.
(3) When the local SP is switched to, the set point becomes “LSP2” if the
SP tracking function is enabled. If this function is disabled, the SP
will be switched to “LSP1”.
• When the local SP is switched to the remote SP, the SP ramp will operate
if the SP ramp function is enabled.
• When the SP function is set to “ON”, the “SP mode” parameter is forci-
bly changed to [ ] and the local SP is taken as the set point.
• During auto-tuning, remote SP input is not accepted. Auto-tuning is

4.5 How to Use the Heater Burnout Alarm
4.5 How to Use the Heater Burnout Alarm
• On a standard type controller, the HBA (heater burnout alarm) function
can be used only when the assignment destination of the output function
“control output (heat)” is set to pulsed output.
• When using the HBA function, assign output function “heater burnout
(HB) alarm” to auxiliary outputs 1 or 2.
J Heater burnout • Heater burnout detection works as follows.
detection (1) Connect the current transformer (CT) to terminal Nos.15 and 17, and
To E5AK
CT terminal
F HBA
CT
Heater wire
insert the heater lead through the CT hole.
(2) When current flows through this lead, the current transformer gener-
ates AC current proportional to the current value. The E5AK mea-
sures this AC current to calculate the current flowing to the heater.
(3) If heater is burned out, the current measured at the current trans-
former decreases. This value is compared with the value set as the
heater burnout set value and is output as the heater burnout alarm.
• Set the heater burnout set value in the “heater burnout alarm” parame-
ter. To check the current value of the current transformer, use the
“heater current monitor” parameter.
• When you are not using the HBA function, set the “heater burnout
alarm” parameter to “0.0 (disabled)”.
• When the HBA latch function is set to “ON”, the heater burnout alarm

is held until either of the following measures is taken:
a Set the heater burnout set value to “0.0”.
b Reset the controller.
(Turn the controller’s power OFF then back ON again.)
• To enable the HBA latch function, set the “HBA latch” parameter to
“ON”.
• Turn the heater power supply ON at the same time as or before turning
the E5AK power supply ON. If the heater power supply is turned ON
after turning the E5AK power supply On, the heater burnout alarm is
output.
• Control is continued even when the heater burnout alarm is output.
(That is, the controller attempts to control the heater as if the heater
burnout alarm has not occurred.) So, remedy the condition such as
repairs which are caused by the heater burnout alarm.
• The heater burnout alarm is detected only if the control output is contin-
uously ON for 190 ms or more.
• The rated current value may sometimes differ slightly from the actual
current value flowing to the heater. Check the current value in an actual
operating status in the “heater current monitor” parameter.
• If there is little difference between the current in a normal status and the
current in a burnout status, detection may become unstable. On a heater
of current 10.0 A or less, maintain a difference of 1.0 A or more. On a
heater of current 10.0 A or more, maintain a difference of 2.5 A or more.
• Heater burnout alarm function cannot be used when controlling the
heater by a phase control method or by a cycle control method. Also,
3-phase heaters cannot be used.
When detecting heater burnout on a 3-phase heater, use the K2CU-FVVA-VGS
(with gate input terminal). (For details, see the respective data sheet.)

F Examples of use

• Set the current value at burnout when two or more heaters are con-
nected to the CT to the value at the time that the heater having the small-
est current value burns out (the value when one of the heaters burns out
with all heaters at the same current).
• Make sure that the following condition is satisfied:
Heater of current 10.0 A or less
Current value at normal operation -- current value at heater burn-
out ≧ 1 A
When resultant current is less than 1 A, detection is unstable.
Heater of current 10.0 A or more
Current value at normal operation -- current value at heater burn-
out ≧ 2.5 A
When resultant current is less than 2.5 A, detection is unstable.
• The setting range is 0.1 to 49.9 A. Heater burnout is not detected when
the setting is “0.0” or “50.0”. When the setting is “0.0”, the heater burn-
out alarm is set to “OFF”, and when the setting is “50.0”, the heater
burnout alarm is set to “ON”.
• Set the total current value at normal heater operation to 50 A or less.
When set to 55.0 A or more, [ ] is displayed in the “heater current
monitor” parameter.

example
4.6 LBA
• The LBA (Loop Break Alarm) function can be used only on standard
type controllers.
• The LBA function can be used only when assigned as an output. Also, the
LBA function does not work when a memory error or A/D converter
error results.
• LBA (Loop Break Alarm) is a function for judging that an error has
occurred somewhere on the control loop and outputting an alarm when
the process value does not change with the manipulated variable at a
maximum or minimum state. Accordingly, the LBA function can be used
as a means for detecting a malfunctioning control loop.
• Normally, when output is set to maximum or minimum, the process
value rises or falls after the dead time has elapsed. LBA is output if the
process value does not change in the predicted direction after a fixed
amount of time has elapsed. This fixed amount of time is the “LBA detec-
tion time.”
• LBA operation sometimes becomes unstable when the process value
fluctuates considerably due to the control characteristics. The LBA
detection width is provided so that changes with respect to output can
be correctly detected. Changes smaller than the detection width due to
LBA detection timing are not regarded as changes.
• The following example describes what happens when a heater burnout
at maximum output.
LBA detection time LBA detection time
PV
LBA detection width
Output
Time
Heater burnout LBA=ON
• LBA judgment is carried out at each LBA detection time from the point
of maximum output. In above figure, the process value (PV) is changing
greatly at the 1st judgment timing, so LBA remains OFF.
• At the 2nd judgment timing, the process value increases as indicated by
the broken line of the process value is normal. This means that the
change width exceeds the LBA detection width, and LBA output remains
OFF.
• If the heater burns out at the point shown in the above figure, the process
value “decreases.” Accordingly, it is judged that “the process value is not
changing in the increasing direction” at the 2nd judgment timing and
the LBA output becomes ON.

• When using transfer output, add on the communications unit (E53-AKF).
• You can select the following data items in the “transfer output type”
parameter (option mode) as the transfer outputs:
Set point
Set poing during SP ramp
Process value
Manipulated variable (heat)
Manipulated variable (cool), and
Valve opening.
However, note that heating/cooling side manipulated variables can be
output only standard type controllers, and valve opening can be output
on position-proportional type controllers
• If the output assignment is changed when either ”manipulated variable
(heat)” or ”manipulated variable (cool)” parameter is selected, the
default ”set point” is returned to.
• These transfer outputs can be scaled according to the settings of the
“transfer output upper limit” and “transfer output lower limit” param-
eters before output. Setting of an upper limit value smaller than the
lower limit value is allowed, so reverse scaling can also be carried out.
Also, the scale can be enlarged by the upper-and lower-limit width speci-
fied for each data item. The following example shows scaling of the read-

Comment
• The “MV upper limit” and “MV lower limit” parameters set the upper and lower lim-
its of the manipulated variable. When the manipulated variable calculated by the
E5AK controller is outside of the upper-and lower-limit range, the upper limit or
lower limit set to these parameters is output, respectively.
However, note that these parameters are disabled during position-proportional con-
trol.
• The “MV change rate limit” parameter sets the maximum permissible change width
per second of the manipulated variable (on the position-proportional control, valve
opening). If a change in the manipulated variable (on the position-proportional con-
trol, valve opening) causes this parameter setting to be exceeded, the calculated value
is reached while changing the value by the per-second value set in this parameter.
This function is disabled when the set value is “0.0”.

• Limits the upper and lower limits of the set point. When the set point exceeds the set-
tings of the “Set point upper limit” and “Set point lower limit” parameters, the E5AK
controller regards the settings of the “Set point upper limit” and “Set point lower
limit” parameters as the set points.
• When the input type is changed to temperature input, the set point upper and lower
limits are changed to the upper and lower limits of the currently selected sensor. And
when the input type is changed to analog input, the set point upper and lower limits
are changed to the scaling upper and lower limits.
• During temperature input, the decimal point position is dependent on the currently
selected sensor, and during analog input on the results of scaling.

CHAPTER 6 USING THE COMMUNICATIONS FUNCTION
6.1 Outline of the Communications Function
J Outline The communications function allows you to monitor and set E5AK
parameters by a program prepared and running on a host computer con-
nected to the E5AK controller. This chapter describes operations as
viewed from the host computer.
When using the communications function, the option unit for RS-232C,
RS-422 or RS-485 communications must be added on. The E5AK commu-
nications function allows you to carry out the following:
• Reading/writing of parameters;
• Operation instructions; and
• Selecting the setting level.
The communications function assumes the following conditions:
• Writing of parameters is possible in during remote operation. Also,
parameters cannot be written during execution of auto-tuning;
• Writing parameters are provided with a setting level. Writing conditions
are as follows depending on the setting level:
Setting level 1: No restrictions
Setting level 0: Writing of parameters in the setup, expansion and
option modes only is prohibited.
• For details on switching between setting levels, see page 6-11.
• The “run/stop”, “remote/local” and “AT execute/cancel” parameters are
set aside from other parameters as special commands for instructing
operations.
J Transfer The host computer sends a “command frame” to the controller, and the
procedure controller returns a “response frame” corresponding to the content of the
command sent by the host computer. In other words, a response frame is
returned for each command frame sent.
The following diagram shows command frame/response frame opera-
tions.

The host computer carries out communications conforming to the
RS-232C, RS-422 or RS-485 interface specifications.
Option units supporting the RS-232C, RS-422 and RS-485 specifications
are as follows:
• Option units

• Up to 32 controllers including a computer can be connected to the host
computer.
• The total cable length should not exceed 500 meters.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cables (AWG28 or more) for the cables.
• Attach terminators to the controllers at both ends of a series of control-
lers connected in an open configuration. For example, in the following
configuration, connect the terminator to the host unit and unit No.30,
and do not connect terminators to unit Nos.0 to 29.
• Use terminators having a resistance of 240 W (1/2 W). The total resis-
tance of both ends should be at least 100 W

computer.
• The total cable length should not exceed 500 meters.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cables (AWG28 or more) for the cables.
• Attach terminators to the controllers at both ends of a series of control-
lers connected in an open configuration. For example, in the following
configuration, connect the terminator to the host unit and the unit
No.30, and do not connect terminators to unit Nos.0 to 29.
• Use terminators having a resistance of 120W (1/2 W). The total resis-
tance of both ends should be at least 54W .

parameters
Match the communications specifications of the host computer and E5AK
controller. When two or more controllers are connected to the host com-
puter, make sure that the communications specifications of all controllers
are the same.
This section describes how to set the communications specifications of the
E5AK controller. For details on the host computer, see the relevant manual
supplied with the host computer.
Set the communications specifications of the E5AK in the controller’s
communications parameters. The communications parameters are set on
the front panel of the E5AK controller.
The following table shows the communications parameters (option mode)
provided on the E5AK controller and their respective settings.

F Command List
The following functions are issued as special commands.
• Run/Stop (number of writings: 100000 operations)
Runs or stops programs. This command cannot be issued in setting level 1.
• Remote/Local (number of writings: 100000 operations)
Selects remote operation or local operation.
• RAM Write mode (number of writings: 100000 operations)
In the RAM mode, the local SP (set point and set points 0 to 3) are saved
to RAM, and in the backup mode, the local SP is saved to EEPROM.
• RAM data Save
When this command is issued, set points are saved to EEPROM.
• AT Execute/Cancel
Executes or cancels auto-tuning. This command cannot be issued in set-
ting level 1.
• SP mode (number of writings: 100000 operations)
Switches between local SP (LSP) and remote SP (RSP). This command
cannot be issued in setting level 1.
• Move to setting level 1
Issue this command when writing parameters in the setup, expansion
and option modes. On the E5AK, the parameter switches to the top
parameter “input type” of the setup mode, and control is stopped.
• Software reset
Resets E5AK operation by communications. A response is not returned
to this command. Also, communications with the E5AK cannot be car-
ried out for five seconds after reset.
• Status
Monitors the status of the E5AK. Two command groups are available,
A and B, depending on the command code. The response is returned in
bit units to the command code (4B) of the response frame. For details on
the monitoring details of each group, see page 6- -11.

6.5 How to Read Communications Error Information
The result of communications on the E5AK can be checked by the end code in the response frame. Use this
end code to remedy errors that may occur.
J End code Communications are normal when the end code in the response is “00”.
If the end code is not “00”, this indicates that an error other that is not an
undefined error has occurred. The end code format is as follows and does
not contain a data area.

• However, note that [
] may not be displayed on the menu display
when, for example, the user is calibrating the E5AK controller for the
first time. If this happens, [
] is displayed by changing the “secu-
rity” parameter (protect mode) to “0”.
• The parameters in the calibration mode are configured as follows.

If the E5AK controller does not support the transfer output function,
calibration of transfer output is automatically deleted from the calibra-
tion procedure as follows:
Calibration of inputs ® Saving of calibration data
• Only inputs that have been set in the “input type” parameter (setup
mode) can be calibrated. To temporarily save data for each of the calibra-
tion parameters, press the
key for 1 second.
• Transfer output can be calibrated only when the communications unit
(E53-AKF) is set in the controller. To adjust data items, press the
or
keys.

• The data save menu is displayed only when all calibration items have
temporarily been saved.
• After calibrating input, you must always check indication accuracy. For

7.1 Structure of Parameters
• Parameters are displayed on the No.1 display, and the process value is
displayed in Hexadecimal on the No.2 display.
• Normally, the process value changes by several digits. The process value
flashes, for example, when a sensor error causes the process value to
stray from the calibration target range.
• When the process value display is flashing, the process value is not saved
as data even if the key is pressed.
• Once the E5AK controller has been calibrated by the user, [ ] is pre-
ceded by the “.” mark when the calibration mode is selected.

7.2 Calibrating Thermocouple
• Calibrate according to the type of thermocouple, thermocouple 1 group
(K1, J1, L1, E, N, W, PLII) and thermocouple 2 group (K2, J2, L2, R, S,
B, T, U).
• When calibrating, do not cover the bottom or top of the controller. Also,
do not touch the input terminals (Nos. 11 and 12) and compensating con-
ductor on the E5AK controller.

7.2 Calibrating Thermocouple
This example describes how to calibrate a thermocouple when the transfer
output function is supported. If the transfer output function is not sup-
ported, skips steps (7) to (10).

on the No.2 display has stabilized (changes of several digits max.),
press the key to temporarily save the calibration data.
(3) Press the key to display [ ] (0mV calibration display). Set
STV output to 0mV. When the value on the No.2 display has stabilized
(changes of several digits max.), press the key to temporarily save
the calibration data.
(4) Next, calibrate the cold junction compensator. Press the key to
display [ ] (310mV calibration display). Set STV output to
310mV. When the value on the No.2 display has stabilized (changes of
several digits max.), press the key to temporarily save the calibra-
tion data.
(5) Press the key to display [ ] (0mV calibration display). Set
STV output to 0mV. When the value on the No.2 display has stabilized
(changes of several digits max.), press the key to temporarily save
the calibration data.
(6) Finally, calibrate the bias compensation value. Disconnect the STV,
and enable the thermocouple of the cold junction compensator. When
carrying this out, make sure that the wiring on the STV is discon-
nected.
Make sure that the cold junction compensator is set to 0_C and press
the key. The display changes to [ ] (calibration display for the
bias compensation value). When the value on the No.2 display has sta-
bilized (changes of several digits max.), press the key to tempo-
rarily save the calibration data.
(7) Next, calibrate the transfer output function. If the transfer output
function is not supported, skip to step (11). Press the key. The dis-
play changes to [ ] (20mA calibration display).
(8) Set the output to 20mA by the or keys while monitoring the
voltage on the digital multimeter. In the example on the left, the dis-
play indicates that the value two digits smaller than before calibra-
tion is “20mA”.
(9) Press the key. The display changes to [ ] (4mA calibration
display).
(10) Set the output to 4mA by the or keys while monitoring the
voltage on the digital multimeter. In the example on the left, the dis-
play indicates that the value two digits smaller than before calibra-
tion is “4mA”.
(11) Press the key until the display changes to the data save display.
Press the key. The No.2 display changes to [ ], and two
seconds later the calibration data is saved to internal memory. If you

CHAPTER 8 TROUBLESHOOTING
8.1 Initial Checks
If trouble occurs, first of all check the following.
(1) Power supply
Make sure that the power supply is ON. Also, make sure that the
power supply is within the rated voltage range.
(2) Wiring
Make sure that all cables are properly connected.
(3) Communications condition
When communicating using the RS-232C, RS-422 or RS-485 commu-
nications interfaces, make sure that the baud rate and other commu-
nications condition settings on the host computer and E5AK control-
ler are matching, and are within the permissible ranges.
If there appears to be nothing wrong after checking the E5AK controller,
and the same phenomenon continues, check the controller in more detail,
for example, on the error display.

E5AK
8.2 How to Use the Error Display
8.2 How to Use the Error Display
F Meaning
F Action
When an error has occurred, the No.1 display alternately indicates error
codes together with the current display item.
This section describes how to check error codes on the display, and the
actions you must be taken to remedy the problem.
Input error
Input is in error.
Check the wiring of inputs, disconnections, and shorts, and check the in-
put type.
F Operation at
error
For control output functions, output the manipulated variable matched to
the setting of the “MV at PV error” parameter (level 2 mode). Alarm out-
put functions are activated when the upper limit is exceeded.
F Meaning
F Action
Memory error
Internal memory operation is in error.
First, turn the power OFF then back ON again. If the display remains the
same, the E5AK controller must be repaired. If the display is restored to
normal, then a probable cause can be external noise affecting the control
system. Check for external noise.
F Operation at
error
Control output functions turn OFF (2mA max. at 4 to 20mA output, and
output equivalent to 0% in case of other outputs). Alarm output functions
turn OFF.
F Meaning
F Action
A/D converter error
Internal circuits are in error.
First, turn the power OFF then back ON again. If the display remains the
same, the E5AK controller must be repaired. If the display is restored to
normal, then a probable cause can be external noise affecting the control
system. Check for external noise.
F Operation at
error
Control output functions turn OFF (2mA max. at 4 to 20mA output, and
output equivalent to 0% in case of other outputs). Alarm output functions
turn OFF.
8--3
E5AK
CHAPTER 8 TROUBLESHOOTING
Calibration data error
This error is output only during temperature input, and is displayed for
two seconds when the power is turned ON.
F Meaning Calibration data is in error.
F Action Must repair.
F Operation at Both control output functions and alarm output functions operate. How-
error ever, note that readout accuracy is not assured.
Display range over
F Meaning Though not an error, this is displayed when the process value exceeds the
display range when the control range (setting range ±10%) is larger than
the display range (-1999 to 9999).
• When less than “-1999” [ ]
• When greater than “9999” [ ]
F Operation Control continues, allowing normal operation.
Motor calibration error (Displayed on the No. 2 Display)
F Meaning Motor calibration has ended with an error.
F Action First, correctly connect the wiring for the potentiometer, open output, and
close output.
Execute the motor calibration again.
F Operation proce-
dure
F Operation at When motor calibration is executed, open output will operate and then
error close output will operate. However, as the value is incorrect, the result
turns out to be an error.

error
The E5AK controller allows you to assign error output to terminals as out-
puts.
For details on output assignments, see 3.3 Setting Output Specifications
(page 3-6).
• LBA (Loop Break Alarm) can be used as a means for detecting loop
breaks when the control loop is not functioning normally. For details, see
page 4-15.
• LBA allows you to detect the following errors:
(1) Heater burnout
(2) Output error (contact weld, damaged transistors, etc.)
(3) Sensor error (constant input values, etc.)
• If you use the LBA function, set the loop break detection time matched
to the control characteristics in the “LBA detection time” parameter
(level 2 mode).
• If you assign error 1 as the output, an error can be output to auxiliary
output 1 or auxiliary output 2 when input is in error. When this error
occurs, remedy by following the description for “Input error” (page 8-3).
• If you assign error 2 as the output, an error can be output to auxiliary
output 1 or auxiliary output 2 when the A/D converter is in error. When
this error occurs, remedy by following the description for “A/D converter
error” (page 8-3).
• If you assign error 3 as the output, an error can be output to auxiliary
output 1 or auxiliary output 2 when the remote SP input error occurs
while the remote SP function is enabled. For details on error displays
and meanings, see Chapter 4 Applied Operation/4.4 How to Use the
Remote SP (page 4-11).
• When an error occurs, check the state of the remote SP connection. If the
lead is broken or disconnected, the remote SP scaling lower limit is dis-
played blinking on the PV/SP display or remote SP monitor display.

APPENDIX
FUZZY SELF-TUNING
Fuzzy self-tuning is a function that enables the E5AK to calculate the most
suitable PID constants for the controlled object.
J Features
• The E5AK determines by itself when to perform fuzzy self-tuning.
• At the time of fuzzy self-tuning, the E5AK does not output any signal
that disturbs the temperature or output value.
J Fuzzy Self- tuning Function
The fuzzy self-tuning function has three modes.
In SRT(step response tuning) mode, the PID constants are tuned
using a step response method at the time the set point is changed.
In DT(disturbance tuning) mode, the PID constants are amended
so that the controlled temperature will be within the target range
set in advance when there is external disturbance.
In HT(hunting tuning) mode, when hunting occurs, the PID
constants are amended to suppress the hunting.
Note: Be sure to turn on the power supply to the load either before or si-
multaneously with the start of Temperature Controller operation.
Dead time will be measured from the time the Temperature Con-
troller starts operating. If a load such as a heater is turned on after
the Temperature Controller is turned on, dead time longer than the
actual value will be measured and inappropriate PID constants will
be obtained. If an extremely large amount of dead time is measured,
the control amount will be set to 0% for a short period of time before
being returned to 100%, and the constants will then be returned.
Retuning is performed only for large amounts of dead time, so be
sure to follow the precaution given above when starting operation.
F Startup SRT will start if the following conditions are satisfied simultaneously
Conditions of when the E5AK is turned on or the set point is changed.
SRT
At the time the E5AK starts operation
1) The set point at the time the E5AK
starts operating is different from the
set point used at the time SRT was
last executed (see note).
2) The process value at the time the
E5AK starts operating is smal er than
the set point in reverse operation and
larger than the set point in normal
operation.
At the time set point is changed
1) The new set point is different from the
set point used at the time SRT was
executed last (see note).
2) The process value is in stable condi-
tion before the set point is changed.
3) A larger set point value is set in
reverse operation and a smal er set
point is set in normal operation.
A--14
Note: The last SRT-executed set point is set to 0 before shipping and when
changing from advanced PID control to advanced PID control with
fuzzy self-tuning.
E5AK
F PID Constant
Refreshing
Conditions
FUZZY SELF-TUNING
If the step control amount is applied before the maximum temperature
slope (R) is obtained, SRT will not renew any PID constant. If the propor-
tional band obtained from the R and L values that were measured before
the imposition had been completed is larger than the present proportional
band, the PID constants will be renewed because the measured value is in
the direction towards the suitable proportional band value, and the set
point at that time will be the SRT-executed set point.
Slope (R)

Stable range
SP
Time
F Stable Temperature Status
If the temperature is within the stable range for a certain time, it is deemed
that the temperature is stable. This time is called stability judgement time.
Like PID constants, stability judgement time is adjusted with fuzzy self-
tuning according to the characteristics of the object to be controlled. Fuzzy
self-tuning will not be activated if the temperature is stable because the
Temperature Controller deems that temperature control is smooth.

If the process value is within the stable range for 60s when there is no out-

APPENDIX
F Startup Conditions of DT
(1) DT will start if the temperature that has been stable varies due to ex-
ternal disturbance and the deflection of the temperature exceeds the
stable range, and then the temperature becomes stable, provided that
the number of maximum temperature values is less than four.
(2) DT will start if the set point is changed under the condition that SRT
does not start and the temperature becomes stable, provided that the
number of maximum temperature values is less than four. If there are
four or more maximum temperature values, HT will start.
