Product Description
The 853 Digital SCR Power Controller (DSPC) from Spang Power Electronics offers the latest in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology and software. The DSPC is designed for a three-phase application. The 853 DSPC uses an advanced, dsp-based firing circuit to control a three phase, six SCR AC Switch. The 853 DSPC is capable of firing into either direct or transformer coupled loads. The basic circuit configuration is shown in the figure below.
Figure 1-1 853 DSPC Schematic Diagram

Product Description February 2004
Phase-Angle Control
In Phase-Angle control, the line is connected to the load for a portion of each half cycle. It is disconnected from the load for the remainder of the half cycle. The period during which the load is connected is varied in response to the control signal providing proportional control of power to the load. A sample picture of Phase-Angle control is shown below.
Figure 1-2 Phase-Angle Control Half Cycles

February 2004 Product Description
Phase-Angle Control Method
The 853 DSPC controls its output based on regulation mode. The regulation modes are Open Loop, Voltage Output, Current Output, and Power Output. Each mode regulates to within 1% of rated output. The Current Input Limit is accomplished by comparing the Current Input to the Current Input Limit. If the Current Input exceeds the Current Input Limit the Current Output setpoint is lowered, which in turn will lower the Current Input. A flow diagram of the control is shown below.
Figure 1-3 Phase-Angle Duty Cycle Output
RFI
Phase-Angle control can generate Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). This may, depending upon the installation and magnitude, affect other electronic equipment (computers, telephones, etc.). Where RFI may be a problem, Zero-Crossover control can be used for many of the electric heating applications. The source inductance, load inductance, and circuit impedances determine the amount of RFI generated by Phase-Angle control. Additional components may be required to reduce or eliminate RFI, such as the use of an isolation transformer between the line and the 853 DSPC or the addition of line filters.
1-3
Product Description February 2004
Zero-Crossover Control
In Zero-Crossover control, the line is connected to the load for a number of complete cycles. It is then disconnected for a number of complete cycles. This on-off pattern is repeated continuously with the 853 DSPC turning on (and off) at the zero crossing of the sine wave. The ratio of the number of cycles ON to the number OFF is varied in response to the control signal providing proportional control of the power to the load. The 853 DSPC has predefined the total number of cycles ON and OFF to be 100. This will allow the output to be set to 1% or 1 cycle out of 100. A sample picture of the Zero-Crossover control is shown below.
Figure 1-4 Zero-Crossover Control
Multiple 853 DSPC’s can achieve power leveling by using the Network Address and Node Synchronization. This allows each independent 853 DSPC to start at a different time based on the Network Address, which allows one 853 DSPC to turn on when the other unit is off, therefore causing power leveling on the common AC power source.
Zero-Crossover Control Method
The Zero-Crossover control method is based on calculation. The actual voltage output, current output, and power output are calculated every cycle and compared to each respective setpoint. The cycles continue until the calculated feedback exceeds its respective setpoint and then the unit turns off after the next cycle. This necessitates a minimum of two cycles or 2% output since the first cycle is used for calculation and turn off does not occur until after the second cycle.
1-4
February 2004 Product Description
Zero-Crossover Current Input Limit
The Zero-Crossover control method controls cycles and can only control Current Input by applying Phase-Angle control to the individual cycles. The Phase-Angle control of the individual cycles will limit the input current, and since the Zero-Crossover control is adaptive, the number of cycles will automatically increase based on the voltage output, current output, and power output setpoints. The Phase-Angle control of individual cycles does eliminate some of the features of the Zero-Crossover control such as high power factor and low RFI. However, it does protect the load by limiting the current that in some cases would be more important than the Zero-Crossover features. A sample picture of the Zero-Crossover control with Current Input Limit is shown below.
Figure 1-5 Zero-Crossover Current Input Limit
Heating Loads
Resistance type heating loads fall into two general categories. The first category consists of heating elements made from materials that exhibit relatively constant resistance whether hot or cold. These include such elements as nichrome, calrod, chromolox and various steels. No particular precautions need be taken in using such materials. The second category consists of elements made from materials that exhibit low initial (cold) resistance such as tungsten, molybdenum, platinum, moly-disilicide, silicon carbide (which ages) and quartz infrared lamps. Such elements require the use of the current limit option that prevents more than a preset value of current from flowing during the initial low resistance condition of the elements.
Zero-Crossover Load Type
The very nature of Zero-Crossover control, firing full cycles of power, tends to cause large inrush currents into the load. This is especially true when transformers are connected to the output. This is because transformers rely on their magnetic field to limit the current, which is present only after current has been flowing for a short time. In order to eliminate this problem from happening, the Load Type setting can be set for Direct Coupled or Transformer Coupled loads. Transformer Coupled loads require two additional settings; Magnetizing Sequence and Repetitive Pulse.
1-5
Product Description February 2004
Magnetizing Sequence
The Magnetizing Sequence causes the specified number of cycles to start in Phase-Angle control in order to limit the current inrush when the 853 DSPC is first turned on. A sample picture of the Zero-Crossover control magnetizing sequence is shown below.
Figure 1-6 Zero-Crossover Control Magnetizing Sequence
Repetitive Pulse
After the cycle has started, the Repetitive Pulse causes only the first cycle to start in Phase-Angle control again in order to limit the current inrush. A sample picture of the Zero-Crossover control Repetitive Pulse is shown below.

Installation
DANGER
The user is responsible for conforming to all applicable local, national, and international codes; wiring practices, grounding, disconnects, and overcurrent protection are of particular importance. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Prior to installation, the 853 DSPC should be carefully checked for shipping and/or handling damage such as loose or broken parts or wires. All covers and panels should be removed for internal inspection and any shipping braces should be removed.
WARNING
The 853 DSPC is intended to be mounted in a protective enclosure to prevent the hazard of electrical shock. Unless supplied with an enclosure, it is considered to be a component that must be mounted in an enclosure by the user.
Enclosure
The 853 DSPC must be mounted in a protective enclosure to prevent the hazard of electrical shock and also to avoid exposing the circuitry to damaging contaminants. A NEMA 1 enclosure for providing protection from electric shock is available as an option. If the 853 DSPC must be located in an area of dust, falling debris, splashing or falling water, adequate protection must be supplied. These conditions necessitate the use of a special NEMA enclosure. Custom NEMA enclosures for the afore-mentioned conditions are also available.
WARNING
An incorrectly applied or installed system can result in component damage or reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient temperature may result in malfunction of the system.
Enclosure Temperature
The 853 DSPC is rated at 50°C maximum ambient temperature. If the 853 DSPC is mounted in an enclosure other than one designed and built by Spang Power Electronics, care must be taken to allow sufficient cooling air to the SCR heatsink. Consult the factory for enclosure temperatures above 50°C but less than 65°C.
2-1
Hardware February 2004
Vibration
If the mounting site has a vibration concern, the 853 DSPC should be mounted using industry standard shock mounting techniques.
Mounting
Allow four inches on each side and a minimum of four inches above and below the 853 DSPC for adequate cooling. It is recommended that the enclosure exhaust vents be located above the top of the heatsink. Allow additional room for wiring as required by the individual application.
Figure 2-1 Mounting Dimensions
Disconnect Means
It is required that a circuit breaker, fused disconnect or fuses be installed upstream of the 853 DSPC for wire protection. Fuses are not necessary if the distribution system current surge rating is limited to below the specification for the unit. Optional semiconductor fuses (externally mounted) are available to prevent surge or transient currents from damaging the semiconductors. The semiconductor fuses are oversized (90A for the 40A unit, 250A for the 90/175A unit and 500A for the 350A unit) to prevent nuisance fuse blowing and, for this reason, cannot be used for steady state overload protection.
Wiring
Wire should be sized in accordance with the appropriate specific code guidelines. Ambient operating temperature should be taken into account. All large cables should be routed to allow access to the 853 DSPC. It is up to the discretion of the installer to allow access room to service the unit.

Digital Inputs
The digital inputs (Remote/Local, Enable, and External Fault) provide power for each input designed for low voltage contacts or switches. The voltage/current rating of the contact or switch should be 15V and 10mA. If interfacing to automated equipment, it is possible to connect a 10V signal directly into the input without using the power connection.
The digital interface consists of the thirteen-position plug labeled Digital Interface. The following table describes each terminal and its default operation. Terminals 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 provide 15 volts through a 470 Ω resistor in order to develop a 10 volt, 10 mA signal into the appropriate digital input. A typical schematic of the digital inputs follows the table.
Table 2-2 Digital Interface Plug
Terminal Number
Terminal description Standard operation (see Note below)
1 External Fault #1 power
2 External Fault #1 input
Shorting 1 to 2 provides an external fault input. Open indicates no remote fault.
3 External Fault #2 power
4 External Fault #2 input
Shorting 3 to 4 provides an external fault input. Open indicates no remote fault.
5 External Fault #3 power
6 External Fault #3 input
Shorting 5 to 6 provides an external fault input. Open indicates no remote fault.
7 Remote/local power
8 Remote/local input
Shorting 7 to 8 puts the unit into remote mode. Open defaults to local mode.
9 Enable power
10 Enable input
Shorting 9 to 10 enables the unit. Open inhibits operation.
11 Fault common Fault relay common connection.
12 Fault NC Contact opens when a fault occurs.
13 Fault NO Contact closes when a fault occurs.
Note: The external faults are programmed by default as normally open (NO). Refer to the Settings Chapter (Configuration Word) for more information on contacts.

External Fault Input
One typical use for the External Fault Input would be the micro switch on an external semiconductor fuse. The default state is for a normally open switch to indicate a “normal” condition. It may be programmed by the user for a normally closed switch to indicate a “normal” condition.
Remote/Local Input
The Remote/Local Input is used to select the control mode. Remote control is selected to allow control from the network (when present). The default state (open) is for local control.
Enable Input
The Enable Input is used to provide a local enable/inhibit function. The default state (open) inhibits the unit (prevents the SCR from firing).
Digital Outputs
The digital outputs (Fault – Common, NC, and NO) are relay contacts from a miniature relay on the digital control printed circuit board. It is very important to not exceed the contact ratings listed in the table below.
Table 2-3 Relay Contact Ratings
Load Type Voltage Current
Resistive 125VAC 0.30A

Hardware February 2004
A pilot relay can be used to interface to larger relays or contactors if required.
Analog Inputs
The analog input (Analog Setpoint) is designed to accept potentiometer, voltage, or current inputs. The potentiometer input is designed for a 10K potentiometer that is connected between the Analog Supply, Analog Setpoint, and Analog Ground. The voltage input requires a 0 to 5VDC input to achieve 0 to 100% setpoint. The current input requires a 0 to 20mA input to achieve 0 to 100% setpoint. In order to use the current input, jumper JP2 must be shorted for the Primary Analog Input and jumper JP4 must be shorted for the Secondary Analog Input. This connects a 249 ohm resistor into the circuit for the current input to use. It is possible to use a 4 to 20mA current input by utilizing the Primary or Secondary Analog Setpoint Zero calibration to offset the 4mA input to be 0% setpoint. Also, other voltages and currents less than 5VDC and 20mA are acceptable by utilizing the Primary or Secondary Analog Setpoint Span calibration to set 100% setpoint.
The analog interface consists of the ten-position plug labeled Analog Interface. The following table describes each terminal and its default operation.
Table 2-4 Analog Interface Plug
Terminal Number Terminal description Standard operation
1 Analog #1 supply
2 Analog #1input
3 Analog #1 ground
Connecting a 10k potentiometer with JP2 OFF provides a local analog control.
4 Analog #2 supply

February 2004 Hardware
The Analog Input Circuit. If a mA input signal is desired, Jumper JP2 (input #1) or JP4 (input #2) is inserted to connect the 249 ohm burden resistor. If a 0-5 volt signal is desired, connect the signal source between terminal 2 (+) and 3 (-) for input #1 or 5 (+) and 6 (-) for input #2.
Figure 2-7 Analog Input Schematic Analog Outputs
The analog output (Analog Output) is designed to be a current or voltage output. The Primary or Secondary Analog Output Selection defines what internal signal is connected to the Primary or Secondary Analog Output. The analog output will generate 0 to 20mA for 0 to 100% of the selected internal signal. To convert the analog output to voltage, jumper JP3 must be shorted for the Primary Analog Output and jumper JP5 must be shorted for the Secondary Analog Output, which connects a 249 ohm resistor, that converts 0-20mA to 0-5VDC. Alternatively, a 500 ohm resistor can be connected externally that converts 0-20mA to 0-10VDC. Just as on the analog input, the analog output can calibrate the output for different levels by using the Primary or Secondary Analog Output Bias and the Primary or Secondary Analog Output Span.
The Analog Output Circuit. If a 5 volt output signal is desired, Jumper JP3 (output #1) or JP5 (output #2) is inserted to connect the 249 ohm burden resistor. If a 10 volt signal is desired, an external 500 ohm resistor should be connected across the appropriate output terminals.

Remote Feedback
It is standard for the output voltage and current to be sensed internally. The 853 DSPC also provides for a separate voltage and current feedback from a remote source, such as the secondary of a transformer on the output of the 853 DSPC. An internal terminal board is provided for remote voltage and current feedbacks. The voltage potential transformer (PT) used for the remote voltage feedback must be designed such that the PT output voltage is close to the input voltage of the 853 DSPC. The Voltage Output PT Secondary setting is used to define the specific PT output connected as a remote voltage feedback. The current transformer (CT) burden resistor must be selected such that 100% current output, defined by Current Output Rating will equal 2.5V. For example, if a CT with a rating of 1000 to 1 is used on a 350A 853 DSPC unit, the burden resistor would be 2.5V/.35A or 7.14 ohms.
Over-temperature Sensing
A temperature sensor is mounted on the heatsink of the 853 DSPC to detect and indicate an over temperature condition. The standard temperature sensor is supplied with contacts that are normally closed (NC).

Startup
WARNING
An incorrectly applied or installed system can result in component damage or reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient temperature may result in malfunction of the system.
Once the 853 is mounted, and the wiring is in place, apply control power to the unit. It is not necessary for main power to be applied at this time.
DANGER
This equipment is at line voltage when AC power is connected. Disconnect and lock out all ungrounded conductors of the AC power line. Failure to observe these precautions could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
When control power is applied, check the LED’s on the control board to verify that the power supplies are on and the DSP is operating. At this time the red FAULT LED will be on, the three green power supply status LED’s will be on, and the HEARTBEAT LED will be blinking at about a 1 second rate.
Figure 3-1 Control PCB LED Location
With control power applied and status lights operating properly, the unit is ready for configuration. Configuration consists of telling the unit what it is rated (power rating, input and output voltage and current, etc.) and what type of control is to be used. Configuration is accomplished using the Configuration Tool software running on a host computer, connected to the unit via the Serial Interface Port. In most cases, the unit will be pre-configured at the factory, and only minor changes (such as limit settings and/or control mode) will be made at the user site.

On-line Programming
On-line programming involves actual serial communication between the configuration tool and the 853 DSPC. Settings are read from and written to the 853 DSPC using a serial protocol described in the Serial Communication chapter. The On-line communication capability of the configuration tool allows real-time monitoring and calibration of the 853 DSPC.
To establish on-line communication between the Configuration Tool and the 853 unit,
Connect a standard, 9-pin null modem cable from the serial port of the host computer to the serial port of the 853
Assign the correct comm port to the configuration tool
Click [Online/Offline] on the taskbar
If any settings have been modified using the configuration tool offline, the following message will appear:
If settings have been modified offline, either individually or by loading a .csv file, the user has the option of transferring, or writing, the settings stored in the 853 Configuration Tool to the 853. If no modifications have been made, the prompt will not appear.
Click Yes to write settings from the tool to the 853; click No if settings are NOT to be written to the 853.
Depending on the response, the configuration tool will either write its settings to the 853 and then read them all back, or will read all settings from the 853 into the configuration tool. In either case, online communication is established. The On-line indicator turns green in the Tool Bar.
Note: If the serial link cannot be established, the following message appears:
Check both ends of the serial connection, make sure that power is applied to the 853 (check LEDs) and click [Online] again. If there is still no communication, with the serial cable
connected, cycle power to the unit, and click [Online].

February 2004 Configuration
When the Configuration Tool is communicating on-line with the 853 DSPC, status, control and setting information is continuously read from the 853 DSPC and refreshed in the Configuration Tool. Additional status and control information is visible in the left-hand pane.
Note that when only the control power is applied, a low voltage warning (A-34) is displayed. This is normal, and will remain as long as the main power is off. It is not necessary to be On-line to review and change the settings – but it is necessary to be On-line to write the changes to the unit. It is also necessary for the Remote/Local switch to be in the Local position for the Configuration Tool to allow on-line changes to the settings.

Factors Affecting Write Capability
Write capability from the configuration tool to the 853 DSPC is affected by several factors:
No writes are accepted from the configuration tool to the 853 DSPC if the Remote/Local input is in Remote. The 853 DSPC must be in Local mode to enable Configuration Tool control.
The Configuration Tool is considered to be a source of Local Digital control to the 853 DSPC. If the 853 DSPC is operating under Local Analog control, setpoints cannot be written from the Configuration Tool to the 853 DSPC. The following prompt will appear:
In order to write a setpoint from the Configuration Tool to the DSPC, the unit must be under Local Digital control.

Calibration
Proper calibration of the 853 validates the values displayed on the Local Digital Control panel and made available over the network interface. Unit calibration also validates the analog signal levels. The feedback signal levels correlate to the internal gain capability of the 853. Changing the Voltage/Current Ratings or the Analog Input/Output signal levels requires recalibration.

Current Rating
The current feedback signal (at rated current) of the 853 must be between 1.25Vrms and 2.85Vrms. The typical unit is setup for a current feedback signal level of 2.50Vrms using the burden resistor of the current transformer. Standard units have the following burden resistors and feedback signals.
Unit Size CT Burden Resistor Feedback Signal
40A 800:1 62Ω 2.46Vrms
90A 1800:1 56.2Ω 2.53Vrms
175A 3500:1 41.2Ω 2.40Vrms
350A 7000:1 49.9Ω 2.50Vrms
Since the feedback signal on the standard unit is set to 2.5Vrms for the rating of the unit, changing the rating to 50% would reduce the feedback signal to 1.25Vrms. This is the lowest that the rating can be changed without also changing the current transformer burden resistor.
If, for example, it is desired to change the 40A unit to a 10A unit, the burden resistor should be changed so that the current feedback signal will produce 2.5Vrms when the primary current is 10A. Since the secondary current at 10A is 10/1000 = 10mA, the resistor should be:
2.5 / 10mA = 250Ω The nearest standard value 1% resistor is 249Ω. The power in the resistor at rated current is (10mA)2 x 249 = 24.9mW, so a resistor with a power rating of 50mW or greater is required. A 1/4W or a 1/2W resistor should be used so that it will properly fit in the connector (J10, terminals 1 and 4). The actual voltage produced at rated current will be:
10/1000 x 249 = 2.49Vrms
Voltage Rating
The voltage feedback signal of a unit must be between 24Vrms and 600Vrms. The voltage sense circuit automatically sets the hardware gain of the sensed voltage in the following ranges:
Voltage Rating
300 to 600
150 to 300
75 to 150
37.5 to 75
24 to 37.5

Calibration February 2004
Remote Voltage and Current Feedback
The standard unit uses the same current feedback signal for both the input and output current. If an output current transformer is used with the 853, the jumpers connecting the input and output current feedback signals together must be removed, and the output current signal connected to the remote terminal provided on the 853. The internal voltage feedback signals must be removed and the remote voltage feedback connected to the remote terminals. The remote feedback terminals are shown below.
Figure 4-5 Remote Feedback Terminals
If remote feedback is used, current feedback is connected to TB1 terminals 1 (+) and 2 (common), and voltage feedback is connected to TB2 terminals 1 (X1), 2 (X2) and 3 (X3).
The Current Output feedback signal should be 2.5 Vrms at the rated output current. The Voltage Output feedback signal should be in the same range as the Voltage Input feedback signal. Allowable ranges are 300-600V, 150-300V, 75-150V, 37.5-75V and 24-37.5V.
Note: The existing current and voltage feedback connections must be removed and insulated before connecting new remote current and voltage feedback to the Remote Feedback Terminal.

Calibration Procedure
WARNING
An incorrectly applied or installed system can result in component damage or reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, or improper calibration may result in malfunction of the system.
To calibrate the 853, the unit must be connected to its rated input source, have control power on, and have a load attached to the unit. Connect your computer to the 853 serial port using a null modem cable and open the 853 Configuration Tool program. Establish “ON line” communication with the unit and note the existing 853 settings.
Click on the [Calibrate] button to open the 853 Calibration window. Click the [Cal Enable] button to allow calibration. [Zero] is active when the unit output is off, [Set] is active when the unit output is on. Click [Zero] to correct for any bias/noise; click [Set] to change the reading of non-zero voltage or current values.
There are separate tabs for voltage, current, and analog calibration. To calibrate the voltage and/or current, it is recommended that the unit be turned on in “open loop” regulation mode at the highest practical operating point (set the duty cycle to 100% on the Monitor Screen if possible). Measure the voltage and current and enter the values obtained in the column labeled “Meter Reading”, then click the [Set] button next to the value entered.

Calibration February 2004
If the (re)calibration is a result of adding remote monitoring, be sure that the Load Type is set to
“Transformer-Coupled”, and that the unit is calibrated to the actual signals being measured. The output voltage may be different than the input voltage, as may the current.

Saving Calibration
If desired, the new calibration may be saved in the 853 as the “Factory Default” calibration. The unit must be on line, with the calibration window open. With control power turned on, install jumper JP1. JP1 is a two-position jumper located immediately to the right of the dsp on the control board.
From the File menu, select “Save Calibration”.

Calibration February 2004
Analog Calibration
Analog signal settings are adjusted on-line in an iterative process to assure accurate signal readings and optimal 853 performance.
If the analog input is used, it should be calibrated for the individual installation. To do this, both the control power and the main input voltage must be present. In the Configuration Tool program, open the Calibration window, and select the Analog Tab.
If the analog input is derived from a 10K potentiometer, simply turn the pot full counterclockwise and “zero” the input by clicking the Primary or Secondary Analog In [Zero] button with the mouse pointer. Then turn the pot full clockwise, enter the number 100 in the Gain Setting box, and click the Primary or Secondary Analog In [Set] button. Alternately, click the Primary or Secondary Analog In [Zero] button with the pot turned down, and the Primary or Secondary Analog In [Set] button with the pot turned up until the readings are consistent.
If the analog input is a 4 – 20 mA signal, install jumper JP2 for 4 - 20 mA to the Primary Analog In on terminals 2 and 3 or jumper JP4 for 4 – 20mA to the Secondary Analog In on terminals 5 and 6, then set the input to the minimum setting (4 mA) and click the Primary or Secondary Analog In [Zero] button. Then set the input to the maximum setting (20 mA), enter 100 in the Gain Setting box, and click the Primary or Secondary Analog In [Set] button. Again, repeat the minimum “Zero” and maximum “Set” selections until the readings are consistent.
This calibration method causes the input to control to 100% of the rating with full input. If a control point other than the rating is required at full input, then enter the percent of the control setpoint divided by the rating. For example, if the analog input is a current setpoint, controlling 0-40A on a 50A unit, enter 80 (this equals 40/50*100) when maximum input signal is present.
4-12
February 2004 Calibration
To calibrate the analog output, set the analog output source to the Primary Analog Setpoint. It allows a full range of signal settings without having to actually power up the unit. Once calibrated, the analog output source may be changed to whichever variable is desired.
If the maximum analog output is less than the rating, set the analog reference (input) as the percentage of the analog output variable divided by the rating. For example, if the analog output is output current, controlling 0-35A on a 40A unit, set the analog reference to 75 (this equals 30/40*100) to represent maximum current output.
4-13
Calibration February 2004
Check the Analog Output Enable box.
If the analog output is to be calibrated for a 0-5V output (as it may be for a typical digital meter), insert jumper JP3 for the Primary Analog Output and jumper JP5 for the Secondary Analog Output, then turn on the unit (both control power and main power). Since there is no “bias” setting, leave the “bias” adjustment at zero. Turn the analog reference signal to 100% and adjust the “gain” slider until you obtain exactly 5 volts on the analog output (terminals 7 to 8 for the Primary Analog Output and terminals 9 to 10 for the Secondary Analog Output on the analog interface plug).
If the Analog Output is to be calibrated for a 4-20 mA signal, leave JP3 off for the Primary Analog Output and JP5 off for the Secondary Analog Output, then terminate the output into a suitable burden (maybe a milli-ammeter). With the analog input set at zero, adjust the appropriate “bias” slider until you read 4 mA on your meter. Then set the analog input for 100%, and adjust the appropriate “gain” slider until you read 20 mA on your meter.
Other outputs (0 – 10V, 0 – 5V, 0 – 1mA, etc.) are done in the same fashion, using a suitable termination for the signal required. The maximum output of the circuit is about 24 mA at 100% input.
Uncheck the Analog Output Enable box when calibration is complete.

Manual Calibration
WARNING
An incorrectly applied or installed system can result in component damage or reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, or improper calibration may result in malfunction of the system.
Direct entry of calibration values is possible from the Manual Calibration window of the 853 Configuration Tool. To open the Manual Calibration window, insert jumper JP1, select Calibration in the Config Tool, and click the [Manual] button. The Manual Calibration window looks like the following:

Calibration February 2004
Magnetizing Sequence Calibration
Setting number 99 is the Magnetizing Sequence Calibration, which is used for zero-crossing control into a transformer load.
The purpose of this setting is to soft start a transformer load when first powered up. The setting defines the amount of phase control cycles which will occur during the first on cycle of zero-crossing control. A minimum setting of 3 will usually keep the inrush current within acceptable limits. If the inrush current is too high, increase the Magnetizing Sequence until the inrush current is within acceptable limits.
Repetitive Pulse Calibration
Setting number 100 is the repetitive pulse calibration, which is used for zero-crossing control into a transformer load. In the 853, the Repetitive Pulse setting contains two values; bits 0 – 7 are the Repetitive Pulse #1, and bits 8 – 15 are Repetitive Pulse #2.
Repetitive Pulse Calibration
Read/Write Condition: All Default: Low Byte 50 High Byte 30
100 % Min: 10 Max: 90
The Repetitive Pulse Calibration is divided into two separate bytes, allowing the first positive zero crossing pulse to be set differently (Zero-Crossover control only).
Low Byte – Bits 0 – 7 Repetitive Pulse #1 High Byte – Bits 8 – 15 Repetitive Pulse #2
The repetitive pulse settings represent a delay in the firing of the SCRs during the first cycle of each “burst” during zero-crossing control. This is necessary to avoid saturation of the load transformer and the resulting over current shut down of the unit. The setting is expressed as the percentage of the total wave passed through to the load.
An automatic set function is built into the 853 power control unit, which will adjust the pulses at an accelerated rate and adjust for the minimum measured current pulses. To adjust the pulses automatically, control power must be applied to the unit. Insert jumper JP1. On the Control Tab of the Settings window of the Configuration Tool, click [Auto Set]. Note that if the system is sized close to the operating limit of the transformers, the unit may trip before the program can determine the proper settings. In such a case, it is necessary to manually “tune” the system.
In order to tune the settings, it is desirable to have some means of observing the line current. Using the Configuration Tool program, turn the unit on with a duty cycle of between 10 and 50%. Start with both pulse settings at about 50%. If the unit trips during start-up, adjust the #1 pulse setting for an observed minimum peak current on the CФ line.
When a minimum peak current is observed, leave the #1 setting and adjust the #2 setting to further reduce the observed peak current. It should be possible to adjust the two settings so that the unit will operate without tripping.
Alternate between the two adjustments, until the minimum peak current is observed. As a check, monitor the AФ and BФ currents as well. If excessive peak currents are observed, minor adjustments in the pulse settings may be made to minimize the currents.
It should be noted that transformer saturation will occur more readily with higher line voltages and heavier load currents. If possible, transformers should not be operated at higher than their design voltage ratings.
4-16
February 2004 Calibration
Node Synchronization
The 850 series zero-crossing mode of operation uses a 100 cycle period of time as a “power cycle”. Power delivered to the load is proportional to the duty cycle of the unit, or the ratio of the “ON” vs. “OFF” time. For duty cycles between 2% and 100% this simply means that the duty cycle is the ratio of on cycles to 100. A 50% duty cycle would result in a unit being on for 50 cycles and off for 50 cycles. In order to insure proper measurements, units are always on for at least 2 cycles.
The Network Address setting (setting 116) is used to determine the starting point of each unit’s power cycle. An algorithm was developed to allow multiple units to be given sequential network nodes and achieve power synchronization. Synchronization is achieved by applying power to, or enabling all the controllers at the same time. The starting point cycle based on network number is listed in the table below. Note that the synchronization calculation is valid for network addresses 1 – 63 only.
Network Address Starting point cycle 1 0 2 50 3 25 4 75 5 13 6 63 7 38 8 88 9 6 10 56 11 31 12 81 13 19 14 69 15 44 16 94 17 3 18 53 19 28 20 78 21 16 22 66 23 41 24 91 25 9 26 59 27 34 28 84 29 22 30 72 31 47 32 97 33 2 34 52 35 27 36 77 37 14 38 64

Hardware
The serial port of the 853 DSPC is a standard, male, DB-9 connector. The hardware connection between a standard PC COM port and the 853 DSPC’s serial port is a null modem style link, shown below. Only pins 2, 3 and 5 (Receive, Transmit and Ground) of the DB-9 connector are needed to communicate; pins 7 and 8 (Request to Send and Clear to Send) are optional and provided for PC hardware handshake (fixed in the SEND OK state).

The default serial baud rate is 19200. The baud rate is accessible as setting #117, and can be modified either with the 853 Configuration Tool or through the (remote) network connection. In either case, the new baud rate setting will take effect only after control power to the 853 DSPC is cycled.
The 853 Configuration Tool will detect baud rate automatically when on-line communication is established with the 853 DSPC.

February 2004 Serial Communication
Serial Protocols
The 853 supports two serial protocols: MODBUS RTU and an 8-byte generic protocol. The 853 determines the protocol of each message sent. It looks for the start characters of a generic message (described later in this chapter). If the start characters are present, the received message is treated as a generic message. If the start characters are NOT present, the 853 will treat the received message as MODBUS RTU. In either case, the appropriate response is generated and sent.
MODBUS RTU
The MODBUS RTU protocol is a query/response or master/slave protocol. The 853 acts as a slave in the MODBUS master/slave relationship. The MODBUS query and response are summarized in the following tables.
Table 6-2 MODBUS RTU Query (from Master)

Each General Protocol query sent to the 853 DSPC will result in a response. Included in byte 3 of the response is status information. The echo bit is set for all response messages. The error bit is set if an error occurred during the reception or execution of the query. In the event of an error, the information in the data bytes has no meaning.

Each serial message sent to the 853 DSPC results in a response message back. Byte 3 includes an echo bit and an error bit. The echo bit is always set if the message has been received. The error bit is set if the message has an error.
If an error occurs, the values returned in Bytes 5 and 6 are not meaningful.

Serial Communication February 2004
Additional Serial Information
Error responses do not stop 853 operation.
Message bytes are sent and received as binary values, and not as ASCII characters.
Floating point data (data containing a decimal point) are transferred as 16 bit integers. The floating point value is scaled (multiplied) by 10 before transfer. Likewise, floating point data received by the controller are adjusted (divided) by a factor of 10. For example, a voltage equal to 208.7 will be transferred as 2087
Settings that are longer than two bytes (such as Serial Number) must be read with two individual transactions. The higher order word (2 bytes) is specified by the Setting number listed in the settings table, and the lower order word is specified by the Setting number plus 1. Care must be taken when reading four byte time values to check for lower order word overflow during the serial read operation, which would result in an invalid time value.
Serial control of the unit is enabled when the Local/Remote switch is in LOCAL mode. 853’s without a local digital control option installed will revert to local Analog control unless serial messages are received at a rate of at least one message per every 1.5 seconds.
The serial link can be used to monitor values when serial control is not enabled. This includes when the unit is being controlled remotely under network control or when the unit is being controlled locally under analog control.

Fault and Alarm Codes
If there is a fault, the 853 DSPC automatically stops and holds the fault code for the user. The fault codes are evaluated in their numeric order. This makes the lowest number codes the highest priority. The fault code is displayed on the Local Digital Control module. It can also be accessed as Setting #119 through either the serial or network interface.
Alarm codes are warning conditions and do not stop the 853 DSPC. The alarm code is also displayed on the Local Digital Control module but not continuously. The display alternates between the selected display variable and the alarm code. It can also be accessed as Setting #119 through either the serial or network interface.
A fault will always override an alarm and stop the 853 DSPC. The following table lists the fault and alarm codes.
