PC-5000 Operation Manual

INTRODUCTION
The PC-5000 is a compact, state of the art, easy to program, microcomputer
based Industrial Control. It is capable of communications, data logging and
user programmable process control. It was designed to accommodate a wide
variety of I/O requirements.

HARDWARE
The hardware options include essential components such as nonvolatile memory,
optional real time clock and calendar, analog input channels, timers, counters,
and optically isolated DC I/O lines. An RS-485 communications port is provided
to facilitate remote programming and data collection between controls or a
Personal Computer. The display and control panel consists of a 31 key
membrane panel, a two line alphanumeric adjustable brightness or contrast
display, and 32 LED light bars that can be custom labeled with text to continuously
indicate control status.

SOFTWARE
The Software for the PC-5000 was designed to be modular and consists of a
library of functions that were developed in a combination of C and Assembly
Language. As time passes and new features and needs are identified, additional
drivers will be constructed and added to the library. A specific application can
be constructed by Custom Control Systems from this library and some additional
C programming to meet various control needs. The resultant code is compiled
and placed into an EPROM on the processor board. The application described
in the following pages was specifically designed to control an Industrial Washing
Machine.

SOFTWARE RELIABILITY
In order to insure that the processor executes formulas exactly as they were
written a check sum error detection scheme is used to check the integrity of
nonvolatile memory. If an error is detected all operations stop and an error
alarm is sounded and displayed.

MULTI I/O ASSIGNMENTS

Custom Control Systems Inc.

PC-5000 Operation Manual

The PC-5000, under normal conditions, only assigns one relay output per
logical output-for example, it will only activate one relay on the I/O unit to
engage or disengage the brake. Multi I/O Assignments become necessary
when you are in a situation where you need to activate or deactivate more
than one output to properly control the machine. The PC-5000 allows as
many as four relay outputs to be assigned to each Multi I/O Assignment.
7.4.1 CONFIGURING MULTI I/O ASSIGNMENTS
Setting up a Multi I/O is a two stage process. First, you must figure out
which I/O Assignment corresponds to the function you need to control.
Then, you need to decide which relay outputs you need to control, and
whether they need to be normally open or normally closed.
CAUTION: Be very careful that you do not assign a relay output in both
the Multi I/O Assignments and the regular I/O Assignments. If you do
assign an output in more than one place, the control will behave unpredictably.
Example Configuration: For the sake of example, let us say that
your machine has a brake that is disengaged when the current is on,
and engaged when current is off. This machine also has a special
clutch that has to be disengaged when the brake is engaged, and
engaged when the brake is disengaged. Well assume that you plan to
use output 10 on the relay unit for the brake, and output 11 for the
clutch.
The first step would be to go into the factory options section and edit I/
O Assignment 33, which controls the brake inputs and outputs. In the
relay field, enter the number 201, which tells the control to use the
Multi I/O Assignment #201 for the brake outputs. Exit the I/O Assignment editing section, and enter the Multi I/O Assignment section. In
the first field of I/O Assignment 201, enter the number 110. This tells
the control that we want output 10 to be on when the brake is disengaged, and off when its engaged. In the second field of I/O Assignment 201, enter the number 11, which tells the control that you want
to use relay 11, and the output is on when the clutch is engaged.

7.5

CONFIGURING CHEMICAL SUPPLY I/O ASSIGNMENTS


The PC-5000s Chemical Supply I/O Assignments are used to set up the
control for use with a chemical injection system. The PC-5000 supports
timed chemical injections, flowmetered chemical injections, and manual
(signalled) injections.
Enter specific Supply I/O Assignments, as follows:
1. Select Supply I/O Assignments, press [EDIT] to begin configuring.
