Finally, use the two screws on the adapter to secure the unit in place. * To mount the E5GN so that it is waterproof, insert the waterproof seal onto the E5GN. * When two or more E5GN Controllers are mounted, make sure that the surrounding temperature does not exceed the allowable operating temperature given in the specifications. E5GN E5GN Installation MOUNTING WIRING TERMINALS 1. Insert the E5GN into the mounting hole in the panel from the front. 2. Push the adapter along the E5GN body from the terminals up to the panel, and secure it temporarily. 3. Tighten the two fixing screws on the adapter. When tightening screws, tighten the two screws alternately (keeping the torque to within approximately 0.29 to 0.39 Nm). The voltage output (control output) is not electrically insulated from the internal circuits. When using a grounding thermocouple, do not connect the control output terminals to the ground. If the control output terminals are connected to the ground, errors will occur in the measured temperature values, as a result of leakage current. Adapter Waterproof seal Standard insulation is applied to the power supply I/O sections. If reinforced insulation is required, connect the input and output terminals to a device without any exposed current-carrying parts or to a device with standard insulation suitable for the maximum operating voltage of the power supply I/O section.

Communications unit No. Communications Unit No. () When communicating with the host computer, the unit number must be set in each Temperature Controller so that the host computer can identify each Temperature Controller. The number can be set in a range from 0 to 99 in increments of 1. The default setting is 1. When using more than one Unit, be careful not to use the same number twice. Duplicate settings will cause malfunction. This value becomes valid when the power is turned OFF and ON again. Baud Rate () Use this parameter to set the speed of communications with the host computer. It can be set to one of the following values; 1.2 (1200 bps), 2.4 (2400 bps), 4.8 (4800 bps), 9.6 (9600 bps), and 19.2 (19200 bps). This setting becomes valid when the power is turned OFF and ON again. Data Bits () Baud rate Use this parameter to change the communications data bit length to 7 bits or 8 bits.

Check the contents of an error and take appropriate countermeasures. No. 1 display Type of error Countermeasures Input error Check the wiring of inputs for miswiring, disconnections, short-circuits, and the input type. Memory error First, turn the power OFF then back ON again. If the display remains the same, the Unit must be repaired. If the display is restored, then a probable cause can be external noise affecting the control system. Check for external noise. Display range over Though not error, this is displayed when the process value exceeds the display range when the control range is larger than the display range. * When less than "-1999" * When larger than "9999" HB error First, turn the power OFF then back ON again. If the display remains the same, the controller must be repaired. If the display is restored, then a probable cause can be electrical noise affecting the control system. Check for electrical noise. Note: Error will be displayed only when the display is set for the PV or PV/SP. Fuzzy Self-tuning The fuzzy self-tuning (ST) is a function that automatically calculates an optimum PID constant depending on items to be controlled. FEATURE The Temperature Controller determines when to execute this fuzzy self-tuning. FUNCTIONS SRT: Performs PID tuning according to the step response method when the SP is changed. LCT: Performs PID tuning according to the limit cycle method when the SP is changed. Requirements for SRT Functionality The ST will be executed according to the step response method when the following conditions are satisfied when operation is started or when the SP is changed. When operation is started When SP is changed 1. The SP at the startup is different from the SP at the time the previous SRT was executed. (See Note.) 2. The temperature upon startup is smaller than the SP in the reverse operation and larger than the SP in the direct operation. 3. Restarting of operation is not due to an input error. 1. The SP after change is different from the SP at the time the previous SRT was executed. (See Note.) 2. In the reverse operation, the value obtained by deducting the SP before change from the SP after change is larger than the ST stable range. In the direct operation, the value obtained by deducting the SP after change from the SP before change is larger than the ST stable range. 3. The SP change width is larger than the current proportional band x 1.27 + 4. 4. The temperature is in the stable state. (It can be in the balanced state if no output is generated when the power is turned ON.) Note: The "SP that existed when the previous SRT was executed" refers to the SP used for obtaining the PID constant in the previous SRT. If the SP is changed while SRT is being executed and if SRT completion conditions are satisfied, no PID change will take place. Stabilization State Measured values remain in the stable range for a certain period of time. This inclination is referred to as R. Temperature ST stable range Balanced State Output is 0% for 60 seconds and measured values fluctuate within the width of the stable range. SRT completion Time E5GN E5GN Precautions OPERATING ENVIRONMENT * * * * Use the Temperature Controller within the rated operating temperature, storage temperature, and operating humidity specified for each model. Use the Temperature Controller according to the performance specifications such as vibration, shock, and degree of protection specified for each model. Do not use the Temperature Controller in places where it is subject to dust or corrosive gases. Install the Temperature Controller away from the devices that generate high-frequency noise. SERVICE LIFE The service life of relays used for the control output or alarm output varies depending on mostly switching conditions. Be sure to confirm their performance under actual operating conditions and do not use them beyond the allowable number of switchings. If they are used in a deteriorated condition, insulation between circuits may be damaged and, as a result, the Temperature Controller itself may be damaged or burned. The service life of electronic devices such as Temperature Controllers is determined not only by the number of switchings of relays, but also by the service life of internal electronic components. The component service life is affected by the ambient temperature: the higher the temperature becomes, the shorter the service life becomes; the lower the temperature becomes, the longer the service life becomes. For this reason, the service life can be extended by lowering the internal temperature of the Temperature Controller. When two or more Temperature Controllers are mounted horizontally close to each other or vertically next to each other, the internal temperature will increase, due to heat radiated by the Temperature Controllers, and the service life will decrease. In these situations, forced cooling by fans or other means of air ventilation will be required to cool down the Temperature Controllers. When providing forced cooling, however, be careful not to cool down the terminals solely, to avoid measurement errors. ORDERING PRECAUTIONS Units separately sold, such as Control Output Units and Current Transformers, are specified for each Temperature Controller. Be sure to order appropriate units according to the application requirements. INSTALLATION Mounting Mount the Temperature Controller so that it is horizontally level. Connection When extending or connecting the thermocouple lead wire, be sure to use compensating wires that match the thermocouple types. When extending or connecting the lead wire of the platinum resistance thermometer, be sure to use wires that have low resistance. When wiring the platinum resistance thermometer to the Temperature Controller, keep the wire route as short as possible. Separate this wiring away from the power supply wiring and load wiring to avoid inductive or other forms of noise. Do not use empty terminals. Crimp Terminal Connection Use crimp terminals that match M3.5 screws. M3.5 x 8 self-rising screws are used. E5GN 7.2 mm max. Be careful not to tighten the terminals screws excessively. Soldering Connection The self-rising screws provide easy soldering connection. Strip the lead wire by a length of 6 to 8 mm. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS For Temperature Controllers with alarm outputs, alarm output may not be generated correctly when an abnormality occurs in the device. A separate alarm device should be incorporated into the system. To ensure proper performance, parameters of the Temperature Controllers are set to default values before they are shipped. Change these parameters depending on actual applications. If left unchanged, the Temperature Controller will operate under the default settings. It takes several seconds for the relay to turn ON from the moment the power is turned ON. Consider this time when incorporating Temperature Controllers in a sequence circuit. When pulling out the Temperature Controller body, do not apply excessive force. After the body is removed, be careful not to apply any shock to the connectors or other electronic components on the PCB. Models without any specification on their degree of protection or those with IP 0 do not offer a waterproofing feature. E5GN E5GN OMRON ELECTRONICS, INC. OMRON CANADA, INC.
