310SV User’s Guide


Hardware Overview 5

Digital Signal Processor (DSP)


A high-speed, 32-bit digital signal processor (DSP) controls the 310SV. Software in the DSP
performs these tasks:
• PID control loop
• Speed measurement
• Analog and digital input sensing
• Analog and digital output control
• All display and button activities
• Modbus and PC configuration communication

Flash Memory
The DSP software is held in flash memory and can be updated through the PC configuration
port. This means you can update the DSP software without removing any boards or chips from
the 310SV.
Configuration information for the 310SV is also held in flash memory, so all settings are retained
when power is removed.

Pulse Input
Signal conditioning circuitry filters and amplifies signals from the magnetic speed pickups. The
resulting pulses are presented to a custom programmable gate array (PGA) circuit, where, along
with proprietary algorithms running in the DSP, the machine speed is determined.

Actuator Output
The 310SV has one actuator output channel. The control application drives the actuator output
to vary the amount of steam supplied to the turbine. You can wire this output for low current (0
to 20 mA) or high current (0 to 160 mA) for compatibility with various actuators.

Analog Output
The 310SV has two analog outputs (0 to 20 mA) intended for indication or remote signaling. You
specify their use during configuration.

Remote Digital Inputs


The 310SV has five, configurable remote digital inputs to allow remote operation of the
controller. These optically isolated inputs require 24 volts DC (nominal, externally supplied) to
operate.

Analog Inputs
The 310SV has two, 4 to 20 mA analog inputs. One is intended for use as the process
measurement when running cascade control, such as for a pressure transmitter. The other input
could be used for remote setpoint.

Chapter 1 310SV Overview


6 Hardware Overview

Digital Inputs/Outputs (DIO)


The 310SV has six flexible digital input/output (DIO) points. The flexible DIO accommodates
industry-standard, G5-type modules. These pluggable modules are available in various voltage
ranges for both AC and DC voltages. The requirements of the 310SV application determine the
type of modules (input or output) and voltages used.

Serial Communication Ports


The 310SV has two serial communication ports: Modbus and PC configuration. The 310SV uses
the Modbus port to send and receive data to and from an external device, such as a distributed
control system (DCS). The 310SV uses the PC configuration port to send and receive data to and
from the 310SV Configurator running on a PC.

Display Board
A separate display board mounted on the front panel contains two numeric displays and LED
status indicators. The display board connects to the control board through a single, 12-
conductor cable. The buttons and switch on the front panel are wired to the display board and
their signals are sent to the control board over the 12-conductor cable.

Controller Front Panel


You perform basic operations, such as starting and stopping the turbine and monitoring the
turbine status, from the front panel of the 310SV.

Power Supply Options


The 310SV is available in two power-supply configurations:
• 24 volt DC input
• 120/240 volt AC input

Optional Hardware
Several optional hardware components are available to enhance control capabilities. Optional
accessories include:
• Servo amplifier
• Turbine retrofit accessories including actuators, gears, magnetic pickups, position
indicators (LVDTs), and so on.
• Stainless steel, flush-mount cabinet

310SV User’s Guide


Hardware Overview 7

Equip the turbine with an overspeed shutdown device that operates


WARNING independently of the prime mover control device. This protects against

310SV Configurator
You configure the control application by using a program called the 310SV Configurator. The
310SV Configurator runs on a PC connected to the 310SV.

Chapter 1 310SV Overview


10 Communication Overview

Communication Overview
The 310SV has two asynchronous serial ports for communication. One of the ports acts as a
Modbus slave and allows RS-485 full duplex communication. The other is an RJ-11 port (J2) used
to communicate with the 310SV Configurator PC through an RS-232 configuration cable.

12 Overview

Overview
The control application is software that runs on the controller and governs turbine operation
during startup, normal operation, normal stop, and during trip conditions.
The main tasks in the control application include:
• Sequencing Logic on page 13
• Trip and Alarm Logic on page 16
• Control Logic on page 18
These tasks are designed to run once per scan cycle. The 310SV processes communication tasks
between scan cycles.

310SV User’s Guide


Sequencing Logic 13

Sequencing Logic
The sequencing logic plays an important role in guiding the controller to take certain actions,
especially during turbine startup and normal stop. The 310SV sequencing logic is based on a
system of modes that control the operation of the turbine. The sequencing logic automatically
selects the mode depending on operating conditions, operator demands, and commands from
other systems. Each sequence mode is tightly interlocked, so the next mode can be entered only
when certain conditions are met.
This table identifies the six modes in which a turbine operates.

Table 2 Operating Modes


Mode Description
0 Turbine Shutdown
1 Valve Ramp
2 Turbine Startup
3 Turbine at Minimum Governor
4 Turbine Online
5 Overspeed Test

Topics include:
• Turbine Shutdown Mode on page 13
• Valve Ramp Mode on page 13
• Turbine Startup Mode on page 14
• Turbine at Minimum Governor Mode on page 15
• Turbine Online Mode on page 15

Turbine Shutdown Mode


If the 310SV detects a trip condition, it enters Turbine Shutdown mode. In Turbine Shutdown
mode, the 310SV forces the actuator output to the Minimum Current setting and activates any
configured trip outputs.

Related Topics
Trip Logic on page 16
Digital Input/Output (DIO) Properties on page 58

Valve Ramp Mode


In Valve Ramp mode, the 310SV ramps the actuator output to open the steam control valve (V1)
at a defined rate. When the 310SV measures speed above the Speed Control Enable speed, it
enables the Speed Controller and enters Turbine Startup mode.

Chapter 2 Control Application Description

Valve Ramp Properties on page 68

Turbine Startup Mode


Turbine Startup mode has eight configurable startup sections, which have independent ramp
rates. In each startup section that you configure, the controller ramps the turbine to the specified
Maximum Speed at the configured Ramp Rate.
If the Idle Delay Time in any startup section is greater than zero, the controller forces the turbine
to wait at the Maximum Speed for the specified Idle Delay Time.
If you have selected the Wait for Continue property in any startup section, the controller waits
for you to press the Start/Continue button or activate a digital input that is configured as
Continue Input before it moves to the next startup section.
You can specify startup sections as critical sections. The 310SV will not stop the turbine within
critical sections, and will not allow the operator to halt acceleration or enter a speed setpoint
within critical sections.
This figure shows the sequence of events in the acceleration of a steam turbine being controlled
by a 310SV. In this example, Turbine Startup mode is configured with six startup sections.
Sections two and five are designated as critical sections, and section four has an idle delay time.

Turbine Online Mode


After entering Turbine at Minimum Governor mode, the 310SV can enter Turbine Online mode
immediately, or wait for operator intervention, depending on the configuration. When the
310SV enters Turbine Online mode it can enable droop or cascade control.

16 Trip and Alarm Logic

Trip and Alarm Logic


This section describes the trip and alarm logic, which is part of the sequencing logic and polls
for trip and alarm conditions once per 310SV scan.
Topics include:
• Trip Logic on page 16
• Alarm Logic on page 17

Trip Logic
The trip logic monitors the system for trip conditions. Any of these conditions can cause a trip:
• Digital input trip; one of the digital inputs signals a trip condition.
• Speed switch trip; one of the speed switches configured to trip activates.
• Fail-safe trip; the turbine does not reach the fail-safe speed within the configured
fail-safe time.
• Overspeed trip; the turbine exceeds the speed high trip speed. During overspeed
testing, the turbine must exceed the overspeed test trip speed to cause a trip.
• Front-panel trip; the operator presses the Stop button and the Stop button is configured
as Trip.
• Critical section trip; the turbine critical section timer expires before the controller enters
another section.
• Electronic stop trip; the electronic stop circuit is opened which causes all outputs from
the controller to be set to zero.
• Modbus trip; a Modbus device activates the trip coil.
• Actuator stroke trip; during actuator stroke testing the controller senses speed on the
turbine.
• Speed low trip; the measured turbine speed drops below the speed low trip setting.
When the trip logic detects a trip condition, the turbine is immediately forced to Mode 0—
Turbine Shutdown. When Turbine Shutdown mode is entered, the actuator output is forced to
the minimum current to close the steam control valve (V1). You cannot restart the turbine until
the condition that caused the trip is cleared.
The last four trips are saved in the Modbus trip history tags and are displayed in the Monitor
view of the 310SV Configurator.
Note After a trip, you must press Alarm Ack or toggle a configured Reset digital input before
you can re-start the turbine.

value. The 310SV will not issue a Pickup Alarm until after the Fail-Safe time has elapsed.
Alarm code 1 indicates pickup number 1 and alarm code 2 indicates pickup number 2.
3 Speed Spread Alarm; the difference between speed readings on the pickups has deviated by
more than the configured amount. The 310SV will not issue a Speed Spread Alarm until after
the Fail-Safe time has elapsed.
4 Digital Input Alarm; a digital input was configured as an alarm input.
5, 6 Analog Input Failure; the input signal was above or below the configured range by 6.25
percent. For example, if the signal is 4 to 20 mA, the alarm would activate if the signal was
below 1 mA or above 21 mA.
Alarm code 5 indicates analog input number 1 and alarm code 6 indicates analog input
number 2.
7, 8, 9 Reserved for future use.

Control Logic
This section describes the control logic and the standard function modules that operate in the
310SV control application.
The control logic consists of modular functions that perform the actual control calculations, such
as ramping, droop, and proportional integral derivative (PID) control. These functions are
interconnected and build on one another's calculations to provide the V1 valve signal. The
decision logic activates and selects the appropriate functions, depending on the configuration.
This function module block diagram illustrates the interaction of the standard functions in a
steam turbine application.

Remote Process Setpoint Function


If you configure the controller to allow the process setpoint to be remote to the unit, the remote
setpoint passes through this function. The remote signal connects to the controller through an
analog input.

Local and Remote Process Ramp Function


These functions generate the process setpoint. The generated setpoint ramps to match the target
(display) setpoint at a configurable rate. You adjust the target setpoint with the Lower/Raise
switch, as well as with digital inputs. Also, these functions clamp the setpoint between a
configurable minimum and maximum value. The Ramp function allows you to enable snapback
functionality as well. If a remote setpoint is used, it can also be configured with or without
setpoint ramping.

Process Droop Function


The Process Droop function calculates the artificial measurement of the Process PID Controller
when droop is required. The function provides bumpless transfer between any modes of
operation. It monitors the droop value being used, and provides a smooth transition to a new
setpoint when the droop value is modified. If no droop is configured, the process measurement
passes straight through this function.

Process PID Function


The Process PID function is a standard PID controller. If process control is configured as the
primary control type, it is enabled when the Turbine at Minimum Governor mode is entered. If
Process Control is not configured, the PID output is ignored by the speed control. The PID
control action should be configured to match the type of process control (suction pressure,
discharge pressure, discharge flow, and so on).

Speed Input High Select Function


The Speed Input High Select function examines the input of up to two speed pickups. If two
valid pickup readings are present, it chooses the one with the highest speed. If a speed pickup
measurement reads zero for the time required for the turbine shaft to make five revolutions
(using the last valid speed reading), the speed input fail alarm is activated.

Speed Pickup Properties on page 61

Speed Setpoint Ramp Function


The Speed Setpoint Ramp function generates the speed setpoints for the speed droop controller.
The generated setpoint ramps to match the target (display) setpoint at a configurable rate, using
both normal and critical ramp rates. You adjust the target setpoint with the Lower/Raise switch,
or with a digital input, if enabled. The target setpoint is not allowed to reside in a critical band.
You can configure the 310SV to use snapback, if needed. If snapback is configured, it is triggered
when you release the Lower/Raise switch after you have held the switch for the configured
Snapback Delay Time. When triggered, snapback causes the speed setpoint to be adjusted to the
measured speed. Snapback is disabled during Valve Ramp mode, an overspeed test, or in a
critical section.

Speed Control Select Function


To determine the current speed setpoint, the Speed Control Select function chooses between the
outputs of the Process PID, the Speed Ramp, and the remote speed setpoint, based on the
configured control type, local or remote signal configuration, and the failure status of the analog
input signals. The function picks which setpoint is used based on configuration property
settings, startup mode, and field signal inputs.

Speed Droop Function


The Speed Droop function calculates the artificial measurement of the Speed PID Controller
when droop is required. The function provides bumpless transfer between any modes of
operation. It monitors the droop value being used, and provides a smooth transition to a new
setpoint when the droop value is modified.

Mounting the 310SV


The 310SV may be mounted in a control room, turbine deck, or any other location that is
convenient while remaining within the published specifications of the product. The controller
should be mounted vertically, with sufficient clearance to open the cabinet door for installation
and maintenance.
For new installations, perform a site survey to determine the best location for wiring, operator
interaction and proximity to the turbine.

Tri-Sen TS310 Replacement


In some applications, the 310SV can be a bolt-in replacement for the TRI-SEN TS310. While the
310SV is wider than the TS310, the mounting holes, and conduit hub locations are identical to
the TS310, which simplifies replacement.
Contact Tri-Sen for questions regarding the 310SV as a replacement for the TS310.

Wiring Guidelines and Diagrams


All wiring enters the 310SV through the two conduit hubs located on the bottom of the cabinet.
Tri-Sen recommends that you group and route power wiring and potentially noisy discrete
signal wiring through one conduit and analog and pulse signals through the other conduit.
Most of the field wiring connects to removable terminal blocks on the 310SV circuit board. The
exception is the power input wiring, which connects to a fixed terminal block.
These guidelines apply to all wiring discussed in the Hardware Installation section.
• Wire size range is 22-12 AWG stranded; recommended wire size range is 18-14 AWG.
• Use multi-stranded annealed copper wiring with insulation that meets the
requirements of all applicable electrical codes.
• To maintain agency compliance for RFI and surge immunity, all signal wiring, except
digital input/output (DIO), must be shielded, twisted-pair.
• Keep all wire runs as short and direct as possible. Long wire runs are susceptible to
electrical noise. However, remote mounting may be necessary because of area
classification, convenience, or other extreme field conditions.
• Use good practices when running signal wiring near to or crossing conduit or wiring
that supplies power to motors, solenoids, lighting, or alarms.
• Connect the 310SV to a high-quality, instrument-grade ground with a 14 AWG wire.
• The stripped portion of wires should be 5/16 inches (8 millimeters) long. Wires should
be inserted in clamp type terminals until they touch the internal stops. The terminal
screw should be tightened while holding the wire in place. Check for proper clamp
pressure with a gentle tug on the wire.

Analog Input Wiring


The analog inputs are intended to receive current signals from external transmitters or other
current sources. These current sources may be connected one of two ways: current source or
current sink. A current source typically is powered by an external power supply, and its output
can drive a grounded load. Devices with current sink outputs require the load (310SV input in
this case) to be connected between the loop power supply and the transmitter output. Current
output from a DCS is usually in the form of a current source, whereas a loop-powered pressure
transmitter might have a current sink output. The 310SV can work with both types of devices
by making the proper connections.
The transmitter should be wired to the 310SV with shielded, twisted-pair cable, and the shield
should be left unterminated at the transmitter end. The 310SV does not furnish the loop voltage
needed to power the transmitter; this must be supplied external to the 310SV.
This figure illustrates the connection for current source devices.

Flexible Digital Input/Output (DIO) Wiring


Each of the six configurable digital input/output (DIO) points can be either an input or an
output. This is determined by the choice of module installed at each point, and how that point
is defined during the 310SV configuration. The type of module also determines the voltage
range.
Digital outputs can be wired where the load is connected in the return (low) side, or with the
load connected in the supply (high) side as shown in this figure.

The digital inputs are also unpowered, which means an external source of wetting voltage is
required to operate each input. As with the outputs, modules may be chosen for AC or DC

Speed Pickup Guidelines


The dimensions of the gear used with a magnetic speed pickup affect the quality of the speed
signal. Follow these recommendations to ensure a good speed signal:
• The dimensions of the top tooth surface (A and F) should be equal to or greater than the
pole piece diameter of the pickup (D).
• Tooth height (B) should be equal to or greater than the space between the teeth (C).
• The space between teeth (C) should be approximately three times the pole piece
diameter (D).
• The air gap between the pickup pole piece and the top tooth surface (E) should be as
small as possible while still providing sufficient clearance for radial shaft movement;
0.04 cm (0.015 inches) is typical.
Note If the pickup/gear gap cannot be reached with a feeler gauge, tighten the pickup
until it touches a gear tooth, and then back the pickup away from the gear tooth
one-half turn.
• Gear thickness (F) should be equal to or greater than the pole piece diameter of the
pickup (D).
This figure illustrates the speed pickup recommendations.

46 Overview

Overview
You configure the 310SV controller by using the 310SV Configurator software, which runs on a
PC that is connected to the 310SV controller.
The 310SV Configurator stores configuration properties in configuration files. Configuration
files open in the Configuration view of the 310SV Configurator.

Configuration Files
This section explains how to work with configuration files in the 310SV Configurator.
The 310SV Configurator stores configuration properties in configuration files. When you start
the 310SV Configurator, the most recently used configuration file opens in the Configuration
view.
You can create and save as many configuration files as necessary. You also can print
configuration files and compare configuration files.
After you specify configuration properties using the 310SV Configurator, you must send the
configuration to the controller before the controller can use the new property settings.
You can also retrieve configuration property settings from the controller.
Topics include:
• Creating Configuration Files on page 46
• Saving Configuration Files on page 47
• Printing Configuration Files on page 47
• Comparing Configuration Files on page 48
• Sending Configurations to the Controller on page 49
• Retrieving Configurations from the Controller on page 50

Creating Configuration Files


This procedure explains how to create a configuration file, which stores the configuration
settings to be used on the controller.
The first time you start the 310SV Configurator a new configuration file opens. All the property
settings in the new configuration file are blank or set to a default value.
You can create additional configuration files; however, only one configuration file can be open
at a time.

Analog Input Properties


This table describes the property values that must be specified for each of the two analog inputs.

Table 5 Analog Input Properties


Property Description
Signal Assignment Not Used = the 310SV does not use the value of the analog input in the
control application, however the value is still available through
communication. The value is not displayed when cycling through the
display modes on the 310SV.
Process Variable = the value of the analog input is used as the
measurement of the Process PID Controller. The signal can also be
configured for flow measurements by changing the signal shape from
linear to square root. The Process Variable scaling defines the minimum
and maximum range of the process control. The units of the process
variable are user defined. You also must configure the minimum setpoint
and maximum setpoint in the Process Control properties, which restricts
the process setpoint to a range within process control range. The units of
the minimum and maximum setpoint must be the same as the process
variable units.
Remote Speed Setpoint = the analog input is used as the remote speed
setpoint for the speed PID. The Remote Speed Setpoint scaling engineering
units are user defined. Internally, the range of the signal is automatically
scaled from minimum governor to maximum governor, regardless of user
engineering units. The user engineering units only affect the display of the
remote speed setpoint and corresponding analog input on the controller. If
the remote speed setpoint signal units are in RPM, we recommend setting
the minimum and maximum engineering units to minimum and maximum
governor.
Remote Process Setpoint = the analog input is used as the remote process
setpoint for the process PID controller. The range of the remote process
setpoint corresponds to the configured minimum and maximum process
setpoint. The remote process setpoint scaling engineering units are user
defined. Internally, the range of the signal is automatically scaled from
minimum to maximum process, regardless of user engineering units. The
user engineering units only affect the display of the remote process
setpoint and corresponding analog input on the controller. We recommend
setting the minimum and maximum engineering units to minimum and
maximum process.
Nozzle Valve Input = the input is used as the measurement for the nozzle
valve activation instead of V1 position. The nozzle valves activate based on
the percentage of the scaled range rather than the configured engineering
units. The Nozzle Valve Input scaling engineering units are user defined.
Internally, the controller always uses the percent of range in the
calculation. The user engineering units only affect the display of the
corresponding analog input on the controller.
Display Only = the 310SV does not use the value of the analog input in the
control application, however the value is still available through
communication. The value is displayed when cycling through the display
modes on the 310SV. Unit = user defined.

Analog Output Properties


The 310SV has three analog output points, two of which are configurable. The one fixed output
carries the valve actuator signal.
Note The speed reference outputs include Speed Measurement [1], Speed Setpoint
(Reference) [2], and Remote Speed Setpoint (Reference) [3]. The engineering units of
these signals are RPM and the minimum and maximum engineering units need to be
configured to a usable range within the controller configuration. We recommend setting
the scaling values from 0 RPM to Maximum Governor or Overspeed Trip Speed.

PID Type Error = the PID uses the change in error to correct the output, where the
error is the difference of the setpoint and measurement.
Measurement = the PID uses the change between the current and previous
measurement values to correct the output.
Remote Control Remote Signal Disabled = the remote signal is disabled.
Remote Signal Enabled = the remote signal is used as the setpoint as long
as the signal is within range—takes effect only after minimum governor is
reached.
Remote/Local High Select = the controller uses the high select of the local
process setpoint and the remote signal setpoint—takes effect only after
minimum governor is reached.
Remote/Local Low Select = the controller uses the low select of the local
process setpoint and the remote signal setpoint—takes effect only after
minimum governor is reached.
Remote/Local DI Select = the controller uses the status of a digital input to
determine whether to use the local or remote process setpoint—takes effect
only after minimum governor is reached.
Ramp Rate Unit: EU / minute
The process setpoint ramp rate is used if running pure process (no droop)
control. This ramp rate is used when the turbine is at minimum process
and the control mode is not droop and overspeed testing is not active. This
is true when the primary control mode in the mechanical drive
configuration is set to Process Control.
Remote Ramp Rate Unit: EU / minute
The ramp rate of the remote process setpoint signal. If zero is entered, no
ramp rate is applied to the remote process setpoint signal.
Raise/Lower Ramp Unit: EU / minute
Rate The ramp rate of the target process setpoint when the Lower/Raise switch
or contacts are active.
Fast Raise/Lower Unit: EU / minute
Ramp Rate The fast ramp rate takes effect after the Lower/Raise switch is active for a
specified duration. You can disable the fast ramp rate by setting the fast
raise/lower ramp rate to zero.

Nozzle Valve Properties


You can configure up to two nozzle valves for a turbine. The default input for this function is
the actuator output. If an analog input is configured as Nozzle Valve Input, the analog input is
the input for this function. The nozzle valve output is set to True if the input goes above the
Trigger Setpoint, and it is set to False when the input falls below the Clear Setpoint. The Clear
Setpoint is generally about 2 percent lower than the Trigger Setpoint to prevent chatter.
Note You can configure an analog input to trigger and clear nozzle valves instead of the V1
valve position.
This table describes nozzle valve properties.

Property Description
Trigger Setpoint Unit: percent
The nozzle valve is activated if the input is equal to or greater than the
trigger setpoint.
Clear Setpoint Unit: percent
The nozzle valve is deactivated if the input drops below the clear setpoint.
The clear setpoint typically is set 1% to 2% lower than the trigger setpoint
and is used to prevent chatter.

Tuning Concepts
This section contains definitions and guidelines for tuning the 310SV controller. It also explains
how to use the Tuning view to tune the 310SV in real-time.
Topics include:
• Tuning Terms on page 76
• Tuning Actions on page 77
• Tuning Guidelines on page 78
• Tuning a Controller in Real Time on page 79

Tuning Terms
You should understand these terms before tuning the 310SV.

Proportional Band
Proportional band is the percent change in the measured variable required to produce a 100
percent change in the output. It is the inverse of the gain of the controller, expressed in percent.
This means that the larger the proportional band, the less reactive is the controller.

Reset
Reset (also known as integral) is entered in seconds per repeat. It represents the time required
to repeat the proportional action of the controller if the error remains constant. As long as the
error exists, integral action repeats the proportional action each reset time. The higher the reset
time, the slower the response. Setting Reset to 0.0 disables integral action.

Rate
Rate (also know as derivative) is entered in seconds. Derivative allows the controller to take
feed-forward action by determining the rate of change of measurement. It adds the projected
proportional contribution every derivative time. As long as the rate of change exists, the
derivative action is applied. Increasing the derivative time helps to stabilize the response, but
too high of a derivative time, coupled with noisy signal processes, may cause the output to
fluctuate too greatly, yielding poor control. Setting Rate to 0.0 disables derivative action.

310SV User’s Guide


Tuning Concepts 77

Tuning Actions
Tuning a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller usually involves disturbing the
process and observing the response of the control system to the process. This is undesirable with
many processes, especially turbines. For tuning to be effective, it must be performed under
normal process conditions, with normal flows through valves, and driving a normal load.
These figures illustrate PID actions.

78 Tuning Concepts

Tuning Guidelines
These are guidelines for tuning a running turbine.

Tuning Sequence
Tune the speed PID first, and then tune the process PID, if configured. A PID controller cannot
be tuned unless it is actually on control. If two or more PIDs are cascaded together, they may
interact, which makes it difficult to effectively tune. It is best to disable a cascade, tune the
downstream PID, then enable the cascade and tune the upstream PID.

Tuning Constants
The proportional band of a typical speed PID is normally between 10 percent and 40 percent.
The reset is between one and five seconds. If the speed PID uses droop, be sure the proportional
band is at least twice the droop setting. For example, if the droop is 4 percent, then make the
proportional band greater than 8 percent. A good starting point for pressure controllers is a 100
proportional band and a 20 second reset. Derivative has several bad side effects and should be
used with caution.
A classical rule of PID tuning is to remove the integral and derivative action, and then slowly
reduce the proportional band until the measurement becomes unstable. Normally, the
proportional band is halved between each test. The measurement begins to cycle as it
approaches the unstable point. Determine the cycle period in seconds and then adjust the tuning
constants as follows:
Proportional Band = (Unstable Prop Band) x 2.0
Reset = Cycle Time x 2.0
Rate = Cycle Time * 0.125 (If determined that Rate is required)

Tuning a Controller in Real Time


This procedure explains how to tune the controller in real time. A benefit of real-time tuning is
that you can adjust the tuning values and immediately observe the turbine’s response.

Before Starting
If the 310SV Configurator is not connected to the controller, click the Device menu and then click
Connect.
If you have not selected configuration parameters to graph, open the Trend view and select
configuration properties you want to monitor while tuning. For speed control, these will
normally be speed setpoint, speed measurement, and valve position. For process control, these
will normally be process setpoint, process variable, and valve position.

Procedure
1 On the Monitor menu, click Start Monitoring.
2 On the View menu, click Tuning. The Tuning view appears.
3 In the left pane, type new tuning values in the boxes, or click the arrows to adjust the
values. The 310SV Configurator immediately sends the new values to the controller.
4 In the right pane, observe the effect of the changed tuning values on the turbine.
5 Adjust the tuning values until you are satisfied with the performance of the controller.
6 When you complete the tuning, click the Monitor menu and then click Stop Monitoring.
7 Do one of the following:
• If you want the open configuration file to retain the new tuning values, click the File
menu and then click Save.
• If you want the open configuration file to retain its original tuning values, you can
save the new tuning values to a new configuration file. Click the File menu, and
then click Save As. Type a name for the new configuration file and then click OK.
• If you are not satisfied with the new tuning values and want to discard your
changes, click the File menu and then click Open or New. On the Warning message,
click No to not save your changes. If you clicked Open on the File menu, you can
open the configuration file you just closed and it will contain its original values.

Buttons and Switch


There are five buttons and one switch on the front panel of the controller. This section describes
each button and the Lower/Raise switch.

Start/Continue Button
Pressing the Start/Continue button causes the controller to start the turbine according to the
startup and acceleration profile in the configuration. If the configuration calls for a ramp-and-
hold, pressing the Start/Continue button causes the sequence to continue.
Pressing and holding the Overspeed Test button and then pressing the Start/Continue button
initiates an uncoupled startup.
After the 310SV enters Turbine Online mode, pressing and holding the Select button and then
pressing the Start/Continue button enables cascade control.

Stop Button
You can configure the Stop button as Stop, Trip, or Disabled.
• Stop = the valve is commanded to minimum—no trip is issued.
• Trip = the valve closes and a trip is issued.
• Disabled = nothing happens when you push the Stop button.

Select Button
Pressing the Select button makes a property code appear in the lower LED display. The property
code tells you what the numeric value in the lower display represents. Releasing the Select
button makes the numeric value reappear in the lower display.
Pressing and holding the Select button and then turning the Lower/Raise switch scrolls through
property codes. Releasing the Select button displays the value of the property.

Overspeed Test Button


Pressing and holding the Overspeed Test button, while turning the Lower/Raise switch to
Raise, allows the setpoint to increase beyond the maximum governor speed. If you release the
Overspeed Test button before the turbine trips, the setpoint reverts back to the maximum
governor speed. However, if you release the Overspeed Test button while the measured speed
is above the Speed High Trip setting, the turbine trips.

Lower/Raise Switch
The Lower/Raise switch allows lowering and raising of the active setpoint. When speed control
is active, turning the Lower/Raise switch lowers or raises the speed setpoint. When cascade
control is active, turning the Lower/Raise switch raises or lowers the process setpoint.
Turning the Lower/Raise switch in either direction for less than one second causes the setpoint
to step by the smallest displayed increment (1 RPM for speed). Turning the Lower/Raise switch
in either direction for longer than one second causes the setpoint to ramp at a rate defined by

310SV User’s Guide


Controller Display 85

the configuration. If the fast raise/lower ramp rate and delay are configured, the setpoint ramps
at that rate if the Lower/Raise switch is turned in either direction for the delay duration.
If Snapback is enabled, turning the Lower/Raise switch in either direction for longer than the
snapback delay causes the setpoint to snap to the measurement when the switch is released.

Alarm Ack Button


The Alarm Ack button acknowledges any existing alarm. If the alarm condition is still present
when you press the Alarm Ack button, the Alarm status light stops flashing but remains
illuminated.

Controller Operation
This section explains how to operate the controller by using the front panel.
Topics include:
• Starting the Turbine on page 91
• Accelerating to Minimum Governor Speed on page 91
• Controlling the Process on page 92
• Stopping the Turbine on page 92
• Stroking the Actuator on page 93

Starting the Turbine


Press the Start button or activate a digital input configured as Start to initiate the start sequence.
Note To initiate an uncoupled startup, press and hold the Overspeed Test button, and then
press the Start/Continue button.
After you initiate the start sequence, the controller checks that these Start Permissive conditions
are satisfied:
• There are no errors in the configuration.
• There are no active trip conditions.
• The controller is not in actuator stroke test.
• If configured, the Start Permissive digital input is active.
If the Start Permissive conditions are satisfied, the controller advances from Turbine Shutdown
mode to Valve Ramp mode.
In Valve Ramp mode, the controller ramps the actuator output to open the steam control valve
(V1) at a defined rate. When the controller measures speed above the Speed Control Enable
speed, it enables the Speed Controller and enters Turbine Startup mode.
After the controller enters turbine startup mode, it continues to accelerate the turbine as
configured in the startup section properties.

Accelerating to Minimum Governor Speed


When the turbine reaches a startup section with an idle delay time, it remains at idle speed until
the idle delay time elapses. When the turbine reaches a startup section configured as wait for
continue, you must press the Continue button on the front panel or activate a digital input
configured as Continue for the turbine to continue through the startup sequence. If a startup

Chapter 5 Operation
92 Controller Operation

section is configured with both an idle delay time and a wait for continue, the idle delay time
must elapse before the Continue button is active. The turbine continues the startup sequence in
this manner until it reaches minimum governor speed.

Related Topics
Sequencing Logic on page 13
Buttons and Switch on page 84

Controlling the Process


When the turbine reaches minimum governor speed, the controller is ready to start controlling
the process. You can configure the 310SV to wait before going online to allow for adjustment of
valve positions and other settings. If you have configured the 310SV to wait before going online,
press the Continue button on the front panel or signal a digital input when you are ready for the
310SV to start controlling the process. The 310SV switches to the online control mode that has
been configured, either Process PID in Cascade, Droop Control, or Speed Control.
If there is no complicated process to be controlled, you can configure the 310SV to go online
without user intervention after minimum governor speed is reached.
Note After the 310SV enters Turbine Online mode, you can enable cascade control from the
front panel by pressing and holding the Select button and then pressing the
Start/Continue button.

Stopping the Turbine


At any time, you can immediately stop the turbine by pressing the Stop button or activating a
digital input configured as Stop. Pressing the Stop button performs either a normal stop or
issues a trip output, depending on the configuration.

Floating Point Reference Bins


The 310SV Controller uses IEEE 32-bit single precision internally for variables that require
floating point numbers. The floating point number is also available through Modbus for devices
that support floating point numbers. Modbus devices that do not support floating point
numbers must use the 16-bit scaled integer registers. The floating point number is available
through two different alias ranges to support the Modbus standard (loword/hiword) and the
swapped floating point standard used in the Tricon and the Trident (hiword/loword).

16-Bit Scaled 32-Bit Floating


32-Bit Swapped Floating Point Range
Integer Range Point Range

40001 - 40129 42001 - 42257 44001 - 44257

This table lists several examples of floating point and scaled integer values. The controller
rounds floating point values to the nearest integer when transmitting data in a 16-bit range.

Scaling of 16-Bit Integers


The scaling of Modbus values is used only in 16-bit integer ranges (32-bit floating-point values
are never scaled). You can calculate a scaled value using this formula:

Value – MinSpan
ScaledValue = 32767  -------------------------------------------------------
MaxSpan – MinSpan
This table describes the minimum and maximum spans for the different types of units
transmitted through Modbus. If the Min Span and Max Span are user-defined, the Modbus alias
tag names that represent the Min Span and Max Span value appear in the table.

Unit Min and Max Spans


Unit Min Span Max Span
Percent 0 100.0
One decimal place 0 3276.7

Unit Min and Max Spans (continued)

Analog input #2 EU fAinEuMin2 fAinEuMax2
Analog output #1 EU fAoutEuMin1 fAoutEuMax1
Analog output #2 EU fAoutEuMin2 fAoutEuMax2
Process EU Process EU Min Process EU Max

This list further describes scaling of Modbus values:


• The 310SV converts analog current values from 0–22 mA to 0–32767.
• 1 The 310SV converts analog input counts (the positive side of a 24-bit A/D conversion)
into a virtual 12-bit number where 4 mA = 819, 20 mA = 4095, and 22 mA = 4505. The
transmitted Modbus value is not scaled.
• 2 The 310SV converts analog output counts (an unsigned 16-bit D/A conversion) into a
virtual 12-bit number where 4 mA = 819, 20 mA = 4095, and 22 mA = 4505. The
transmitted Modbus value is not scaled.
• The 310SV uses the floating point values configured in the minimum and maximum EU
settings for scaling analog input engineering unit values. For example, if analog input
#1 EU is configured from 0.0–300.0 psi, then 0.0 = 0, 150.0 = 16384, and 300.0 = 32767.
• The 310SV uses the floating point values configured in the minimum and maximum EU
settings for scaling analog output engineering unit values.
• The 310SV uses the scaling for the analog input that is configured as process
measurement for scaling process engineering units.
• The 310SV does not use scaling for aliases with units of RPM, SECONDS, and NONE—
it transfers the integer portion of the floating-point values.

Scaled Integer and Floating Point Example


This example shows the results of a Modbus master device reading aliases 40001, 42001–42002,
and 44001– 44002. The controller response is 8000.0, as shown in the scaling table above.

Modbus Aliases 135

Modbus Debugging
This procedure explains how to troubleshoot Modbus communication problems.
The alias, cModbusDebug (00068), causes the controller to send a loopback diagnostic message
(function code 08) through the RS-485 Modbus port every second without receiving a request
from the Modbus Master device. This is useful to generate traffic on the serial line to view with
a protocol analyzer. Do not leave this setting active during normal operation as it may interfere
with the Modbus master device.
You can also use the 310SV Configurator to view Modbus Statistics in the left pane of the
Monitor view. Observe the Message Count, Timeout Count, and Exception Count while
sending requests from the Modbus master device.

Procedure
1 Verify the Modbus Unit ID in the controller (Communications/Modbus/Modbus Unit
ID in the Configuration view) and in the Modbus master device, as well as the Baud
Rate, Data Bits, Parity, and Stop Bits.
2 Send loopback diagnostic messages or data requests from the Modbus Master device.
3 The Message Count should increment in the 310SV Configurator. If the Message Count
does not change, it indicates a problem with the serial connection, or a Unit ID or Baud
Rate inconsistency.
4 If the Error Count or Timeout Count is changing, it indicates a problem with the wiring
(possible reversed polarity) or with Parity, Data Bits, or Stop Bits settings.
5 If the Message Count is changing (indicating the controller successfully received the
message) but the Modbus master device is not receiving the response, check the polarity
of the receive wiring.

Modbus Aliases
This section contains tables that list the aliases of all available tags in the 310SV. The table
column headings are:
• Alias—the Modbus alias number where the data resides.
• Tag Name—the variable name assigned to the value within the 310SV.
• Description—description of the purpose of the variable.
• Units—the type of engineering unit of the value in the alias.
• Min Span—the minimum engineering units to be found in the alias.
• Max Span—the maximum engineering units to be found in the alias.
• Tag Type—describes the access level to the value through Modbus.
— Setpoint = the value is controlled using an HMI or DCS and is not changed when a
configuration is sent to the controller from the 310SV Configurator.
— Read-only = the value can never be changed through Modbus.

Appendix C Modbus Aliases

— Run-protected = the value cannot be changed while the turbine is running.


— Read/Write = the value can be changed while the turbine is running.
— Tuning = the value is a tuning parameter that can be changed while the turbine is
running.

Analog Read/Write 16-Bit Scaled Integer Aliases


Most of the aliases in this section are configuration related and should be configured through
the 310SV Configurator. Aliases that have one decimal place of accuracy (One DP) have a limit
of 3276.7 through the 16-bit scaled aliases. If a value above 3276.7 is needed, it must be
configured through the corresponding 32-bit floating point alias or through the 310SV
Configurator.
This table describes analog read/write 16-bit scaled integer aliases.

Digital Input/Output (DIO) Specifications


Feature Description
Points per 6, each point configurable as input or output with standard G5 modules
controller

The steady-state current capacity of the digital output (DO) channels is limited according to the
internal temperature of the 310SV enclosure. The internal temperature of the enclosure is a
function of the ambient temperature, the heat generated by components inside the enclosure,
and the thermal properties of the enclosure. The thermal properties of the enclosure are fixed,
and there are certain components that are always included with the 310SV controller. Therefore,
the variables used to determine internal temperature are ambient temperature and the I/O
module population and loading.
There are different temperature derate curves for the AC-power version and the DC-power
version of the 310SV controller. You should use these derate curves to determine maximum
steady-state DO current based on ambient temperature.
These conditions were assumed in calculating all of the derate curves:
• all six flexible digital input/output module slots are populated
• three modules are digital inputs (all in the ON state)
• three modules are digital outputs (all at maximum allowable current according to the
derate curves)
• all five remote digital inputs are ON
• both analog inputs are at 20mA
• both analog outputs are at 20mA
• the actuator output is at 200mA

Appendix D Specifications
164 Electrical Specifications

This table summarizes the I/O population and conditions assumed in calculating all of the
derate curves.

I/O Type Point Quantity Condition


Pulse Input 2 Operating
Analog Input 2 All points at 20mA
Analog Output 2 All points at 20mA
Actuator Output 1 Output at 200mA
Remote DI 5 All points ON
Flexible Digital 3 All points ON
Input
Flexible Digital 3 Max current per the derate curves
Output

Up to six digital output modules can be installed and energized in steady-state conditions, but
the individual module current cannot exceed the DO Current per Channel curve and the total
current of all DO modules cannot exceed the Total DO Current curve.

AC-Power Version Temperature Derate Curves


This curve shows the steady-state current capacity for any single DO channel (AC or DC loop
power) with respect to ambient temperature for an AC powered unit. If a channel is ON for only
a few seconds at a time—for example, to give a three second pulse to a trip relay or coil—and is
not repeated more than once every 5 minutes, then up to 3.5 amps may be switched by a single
channel at any ambient temperature up to 57° C.
