Warnings!
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL AND ALL RELATED PUBLICATIONS PERTAINING TO

THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING, OR
SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.
• Practice all plant and safety codes and standards. Failure to follow instructions can result
in personal injury and/or property damage.
• To prevent ignition of hazardous atmosphere, do not remove covers of Class I Division I
(explosion-proof) units with power applied.
• All servicing should be performed by qualified technicians. Dangerous voltages may be present
on the circuit boards.
• Use extreme caution when working around power-input cables. These cables may have
potentially lethal voltages on them.
• Be very careful when working on the digital (or discrete) input/output field termination panels.
The external devices being controlled can have high, potentially lethal voltages on them. Turn
off the power to the external devices before disconnecting or connecting the cable or a wire
between the digital (or discrete) input/output field termination panels and the field wiring.
• Replace fuses only with specific parts for continued safe operation.
• Equip the engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover with an overspeed (overtemperature or
overpressure, where applicable) shutdown device that operates totally independently of the prime
mover control device. This protects against run-away or damage to the engine, turbine, or other
prime mover, or personal injury or loss of life, should the mechanical-hydraulic or electronic
governor, actuator, fuel control, driving mechanism, linkage, or controlled device fail.
• Make sure the charging device is turned off before disconnecting the battery from the system to
prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or battery-charging device.
• Prior to energizing the equipment, have qualified personnel verify all wiring and connections
against vendor drawings. Incorrect wiring and/or connections can result in equipment damage.
• Contact appropriate manufacturer for instructions on operation of engine, turbine, or driven unit.

Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
Electrostatic discharge can damage or destroy electronic components, assemblies, or systems.

1. Keep the following materials away from components and work area:
• Styrofoam® (polystyrene): cups, packing material
• cellophane: cigarette packages or candy wrappers
• vinyl: books or folders
• plastic: cups, bottles, ash trays
2. Avoid synthetic clothing. Instead wear cotton or cotton-blend materials. Keep components away
from elastics, clothing, and hair.
3. Before handling electronic components, discharge static electricity buildup from your body by
using a properly connected wrist strap.
4. Do not handle components in the field unless properly grounded via wrist strap. If you are not
properly grounded:
• Do not pick up components.
• Do not touch the printed circuit board.
• Do not remove components from the chassis.
5. Transport all static-sensitive components only in static-shielding carriers or packages. Place
static awareness labels on all components to prevent removal from static-shielding container
during transit.
6. Handle all static-sensitive components at a static-safe work area including floor mat, wrist strap,
air ionizer, ground cord, and conductive table mat.
7. Wear a grounded wrist strap in the field whenever possible. Where wrist straps are impractical,
wear grounded heel straps or special footwear on properly grounded dissipative flooring.
8. Do not subject components to sliding movements over any surface at any time.

Chapter 1 - Introduction 1
Chapter 1 - Introduction
The TS310sc is different from conventional prime mover controllers. Its microprocessor design and
user-configurable features offer capabilities far beyond conventional electronic controllers .
This manual describes the TS310sc digital controller, how to install it and how to maintain it.
TS310sc has been configured so that simple installations require only a small amount of reading and
a few channel entries. It is not necessary to know the other TS310sc capabilities. TS310scs are
completely interchangeable with program software furnished in non-volatile EPROM chips.
TS310sc training is simplified, little maintenance is required, application is simplified and
standardized, and spare parts are reduced to an absolute minimum.
Basic installation requirements are:
• Mount the TS310sc controller.
• Connect power to the TS310sc power supply.
• Connect the magnetic pickups.
• Connect the control output to the valve actuator.
• Enter values in sixteen of the TS310sc channels.
(Refer to the TS310sc Configuration Users Guide).
TS310sc Application Tips

For a successful TS310sc installation, Triconex offers the following suggestions:
• Review requirements with a Triconex application engineer and have Triconex assist in
documenting the unit hardware.
• Order spare parts with the TS310sc and have them available at startup.
• Arrange for operator and technical personnel training prior to installing the unit.
• Have a Triconex field service engineer present at startup.
• Take advantage of Triconex’s support services with turnkey installations.
Triconex’s experience shows that customers who follow these recommendations achieve the
smoothest, least expensive installation and startup, and ultimately derive the greatest benefit and
savings from their units.
The TS310sc warranty covers factory repair or replacement of defective items. The warranty does
not cover:
• Installation
• Startup assistance
• Training
• On-site repairs
Please contact the local Triconex representative if there are any questions regarding Triconex’s
products and services.

Chapter 2 - Installation and Wiring

2.1 TS310sc Installation Recommendations
The following recommendations were compiled from actual field service startups and service call
experience. These recommendations prevent many of the common problems which can be
encountered when installing TS310sc controllers.
All of the installation should be considered. Compromises may be necessary, but careful attention to
these factors will result in a more successful installation.
Where the TS310sc will be mounted in the field is a critical decision. The following factors affect
the success of the installation:
• Accessibility
• Lighting
• Temperature
• Area classification
• Length of wiring
• Proximity to sources of electrical noise
• Availability of instrument ground
The following information should be considered in making this decision.
2.1.1 Mounting Considerations

Prior to mounting the TS310sc, an inspection of the area should be performed to check for sources of
electrical noise. Motors, radio antennas, arcing contacts, etc., may cause interference problems. If
the TS310sc must be mounted near known sources of noise, steel conduit must be used for all wiring,
and the wires should be kept as short and direct as possible.
• The TS310sc needs to be accessible for wiring, configuration, and maintenance. It is not
absolutely necessary that it be accessible to the operator. Most operations will be
performed using the TS310sc Auxiliary Display (option), discrete indicators and
switches, or performed remotely from a distributed control system (DCS) console over
MODBUS®.
• The TS310sc can be mounted either in the local turbine/compressor panel, or in a control
room.
• Since the TS310sc usually is operated through the front panel, it should be mounted so
the operator can stand in front of the controller comfortably. The display should be at
eye level. The most common installations are between 5’ and 5’6” high.
• The liquid crystal display is difficult to read in low light, so avoid dark areas; but do not
mount the TS310sc in direct sunlight.
• The TS310sc should only be mounted to rigid structures that will not sway when the
keyboard is operated.

• Service access should also be considered. Make sure that:

− Door can be fully opened
− Location will not be in violation of area classification with the door open
− Unit will not be subjected to steam or dripping water or other liquids
If any of these items is doubtful, consider another location.

The TS310sc Auxiliary Display (if used) and any discrete indicators or switches should be mounted
with other compressor instrumentation, such as lube and seal oil pressure gages, vibration
instrumentation, alarm panels, etc. This equipment is usually mounted in the local compressor panel.
October 1997 Rev. 1

2.1.3 Associated Equipment Mounting Considerations

• Transmitters: Mounting transmitters at grade level on an instrument pipe stand is the
most common method. However, this can lead to problems with process condensate
buildup in the lines. To prevent this problem, mount the transmitter at or above the
orifice taps with the leads sloping down. If a grade level installation is made, the lines
should be sealed with an appropriate sealing fluid.
• Piping: All process connections should be made with 1.27 cm (1/2") stainless steel
tubing. Pressure transmitters should include a block valve at the process tap. A separate
block should be provided at the transmitter for calibration. Triconex recommends a 3-
valve manifold for the flow instrument to facilitate calibration.
• Sealing: If the transmitters are mounted below the process taps, the lines should be
sealed to prevent condensation and the resulting calibration errors. The proper sealing
fluid depends on the process; refer to plant engineering practices or consult Triconex.
• Recycle Valve I/P and Positioner: Triconex recommends an integral I/P and valve
positioner for the recycle valve. This arrangement allows the easiest installation,
minimum piping, and provides the best performance. If a separate I/P and positioner are
used, they should be mounted as close together as possible to minimize the
interconnecting tubing length.
2.1.4 Wiring Considerations

Long wire runs are costly and vulnerable to noise interference. However, they are sometimes
necessary because of area classification, convenience, or other field conditions .
When running long lengths of wire:
• Use shielded, twisted pairs with less than 1 Ohm of resistance across the full length .
• Place wiring in conduit or cable trays.
• Separate wiring as far as possible from high voltage ac or dc wiring.
• Use care when running near or crossing: conduit or power wiring for motors, solenoids,
lighting, horns, bells, etc.
• To avoid crosstalk (inter-cable noise coupling), identify and categorize the separate types
of cables/wires, as follows:
Category 1: ac power cables - noise generators
Category 2: dc distribution cables - noise generators and/or susceptible to noise
Category 3: Signal and logic cables - susceptible to noise
− Analog, low level signals
− Digital signals
NOTE: Signal wires from relays, circuit breakers, thermal switches, etc., fall into Category 2.
October 1997 Rev. 1

Basic guidelines for routing these cables are:

Category 1: Route along frame members and in separate metal cable trays.
Category 2: Route along frame members and metal cable trays, but separate from
Category 1. Avoid hanging in open space.
Category 3: Route as far as possible from Categories 1 and 2.
In general,
• For analog cables in Category 3, spacing depends on the sensitivity of their connected
circuits. To protect an analog circuit with 10 mV sensitivity, analog cables must be
separated 25 cm (10") for every meter of possible parallel run from Category 1 cables.
• Category 3 cables, which carry digital signals, should be separated 2.54 cm (1") from
Category 1 cables for every meter of possible parallel run.
Remember that power wiring not only carries 60 Hz voltages, but it also has associated line spikes
which couple strongly with nearby signal wiring.
Example:
If a routing constraint forces analog signals to be run parallel to ac cables over a distance of 10
meters, a separation of 10 X 25 cm = 2.5 meters is required.

2.1.5 Temperature Considerations

The TS310sc operating temperature range is 0 to 160° F. Avoid areas where the temperature is
constant near the range limits. Temperature extremes also make operation and service inconvenient.
2.1.6 Grounding Considerations

Grounding complex systems to minimize EMI is a complex task. Guidelines are difficult to develop
since all systems have different operating characteristics, are configured differently, and are exposed
to different environments.
A basic TS310sc control system can be viewed as a central system with extensions. See the figure
below, Central Processing Unit with Extensions. Integral elements extend from the central system at
long physical and electrical distances. The Central Processing Unit with Extensions figure and the
Simplified Application Diagram figure are equivalent. The Simplified Application Diagram figure
demonstrates actual connections.

Central Processing Unit with Extensions Simplified Application Diagram
October 1997 Rev. 1

The system as shown in the Central Processor with Extensions figure and the Simplified Application
Diagram indicate that the extended elements, transmitters, etc., obtain power from the central
element (TS310sc). Only the TS310sc is connected to a power source.
If both the source and load ends of a cable pair in a noisy environment are grounded, common mode
interference is likely to occur. Generally, the end that maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio in the loop
should be grounded; i.e., usually the source end. However, with a TS310sc installation, where
multiple sensors are feeding one processor, grounding every source end would ultimately create a
multiple grounded system. Therefore, the TS310sc end is the most practical solution for maintaining
a single point ground.
• Ground the TS310sc (central element of this system) as if it is an isolated system.
Triconex’s control systems involve relatively low frequencies; therefore, a single point
tree or star grounding scheme should be used.
− The ground node is the TS310sc, with one connection (the safety ground) made to
the structure.
− The transducers should be floated; i.e., not grounded at the transducer end.
− Shielded, twisted pair cables should be used and grounded at the TS310sc end only.
• Connect the Chassis Safety Ground Lug, which is located below the TS310sc termination
panel, to a suitable safety ground. This protects against shock hazards.
• Make the ground labeled INST. GND. on the TS310sc power supply an isolated, low
noise, instrument signal grade ground. It should not be connected to the chassis safety
ground, or conduit, etc. This ground must provide noise immunity.
• Ground the Shields at the TS310sc end only. To avoid ground loops, the field end should
be left floating and taped.
− Magnetic pickup shields should ground to Terminals 3 and 23.
− Analog input shields ground on the shield terminal strip below the TS310sc I/O
termination panel.
October 1997 Rev. 1

2.1.7 TS310sc I/O Modules

TS310sc I/O modules are solid state relays. Solid state output relays are subject to small levels of
current leakage. While this presents no problem when used with normal loads (such as coils,
solenoids, hard relays or motors), the leakage is significant for applications which interface with high
impedance inputs (such as alarm circuits, computer inputs, or solid state logic).
A dry contact relay should be used with alarm circuits, computer inputs or solid state logic inputs; the
DRY5 relay is recommended for such applications.
When using a dc output module (e.g., ODC5) to operate an inductive load, such as a trip solenoid,
breaker closing coil or electromechanical relay, the load must be bypassed by a protective diode. See
Figure 2-4, Contact Output. For most applications, a 400 VDC lamp diode will suffice (refer to the
spare parts list in Chapter 7). Higher current diodes are usually available from local electronics
distributors.
Input modules must be powered, either internally or externally. See the discussion on TS310sc
Contact Input Wiring later in this chapter.
Observe polarity on all dc connections.
Output modules must be externally powered. See the discussion on TS310sc Contact Output Wiring
later in this chapter.

2.3 Typical Field Wiring Connections

When making wiring connections, carefully follow the recommendations in this chapter. It is
extremely important to avoid installation mistakes. It is equally important to avoid improper
grounding and shielding techniques.
2.3.1 TS310sc Contact Input Wiring

Power requirements depend upon the input module used.
Module Load Amps
IDC5 10-32 VAC/dc 25 mA
IAC5 90-140 VAC/dc 11 mA
IAC5A 180-280 VAC/dc 6.5 mA
NOTE: Internal power (terminals 20 and 40), +15 VDC and common may be used for contact
input circuits. Use IDC5 modules. Be careful to observe polarity. Positive 15 VDC at a
maximum of 250 mA is provided as an interface for field contacts and specific sensors.

TS310-13
Figure 9. Contact Input

2.3.2 TS310sc Contact Output Wiring

Power requirements depend on the load and output modules used:
Module Load
200 VDC/VAC DRY5
5/60 VDC ODC5
12/140 VAC OAC5
24/280 VAC OAC5A
5/200 VDC ODC5A
For inductive dc loads such as a solenoid, install a 1 Amp 1000 PIV diode across the load, as shown,
to protect the solid-state module. (Refer to the spare parts list in Chapter 7.)
For high-impedance alarm systems, use module DRY5. Do not use internal TS310sc power from
terminals 20 and 40 for powering output loads.
Do not exceed module current ratings:
• 3 amp for ODC5, OAC5 and OAC5A
• 1 amp for ODC5A (1 second surge - 5 amp)
• 10 VA for DRY5 (200 Volts maximum)
Do not use +15 VDC (terminal 20) for contact outputs.

resolution will be obtained from the analog input. (The voltage drop will be 2-10 Volts
rather than the 1-5 Volts obtained across a 250 Ohm precision resistor.) The TS310sc
analog input channel must be configured accordingly.

The TS310sc controller requires an accurate and dependable sensed speed signal. Use standard two-
wire magnetic pickups. Other devices may be used in some instances; consult Triconex before using
these devices. The gear must be made of ferro-magnetic material. For maximum output and an
approximately sinusoidal waveform, follow the recommendations below:
October 1997 Rev. 1

• The dimension of the top tooth surface should be equal to or greater than the pole piece
diameter of the pickup.
• Tooth height should be equal to or greater than the space between the teeth.
• The space between teeth should be approximately three times the pole piece diameter.
• The air gap between the pickup pole piece and the top tooth surface should be as small as
possible; 0.04 cm (0.015") is typical.
• Gear width should be equal to or greater than the pole piece diameter of the pickup.
The above recommendations are shown graphically in Figure 2-11. The important speed pickup
parameters are numbered in the figure below. For maximum output and approximately sinusoidal
waveform, the following parameters should be used:
1 equal to or greater than 4.
2 equal to or greater than 3.
3 approximately three times 4.
5 as small as possible, 0.04 cm (0.015”) is typical.

Display Channels:
The TS310sc keyboard is used to start and stop the compressor, and to raise and lower the speed. F1
and F3 function keys are not used with simple speed control applications.
Keys 0 through 9 are used to call up display channels which read data pertinent to the operation of
the compressor. They are used also to enter or to change data. Information is shown on the eight
character LCD display above the keyboard. Pressing three numbers will call up a corresponding
channel. For example, pressing <0> + <1> + <1> causes Channel 011 to display. The following

2.5 Operational CheckOut

To checkout the TS310sc, perform the following steps:
1. Apply power to the TS310sc. The display should show "00000000" with no indicator
arrows.
2. The green light emitting diode (LED) on the main board should blink at 1/3 second
intervals. This verifies that the display is working and the program is functioning. See
paragraph 5.6 for details of the diagnostics test which is run each time the TS310sc is
powered up.
3. Press the <0> key twice. The display should show "0" on the extreme left and "0" on the
extreme right.
4. Press <Enter> and the display should flash "EEEEE."
5. Press <41>, and then press <Enter>. The display will show "41" to the left and should
flash "PPPPP" to the right. This verifies the keyboard, the invalid entry display, and the
password protected display.
6. Call up the individual channels and verify that they contain the correct code or reading.
7. When Channel 024 is called up, try changing the proportional band. This will verify the
non volatile memory. Return the proportional band to its correct setting.
8. Press <Start> and verify that the control valve or valves open. Press <Stop> and verify
that the valve or valves close.

The power supply is located in the upper half of the inside of the TS310sc cabinet. Use Number 14
AWG wire for power source connections. Power consumption is less than 10 Watts.
The standard power supply is rated 25 Watts and operates on 100-350 VDC or 90-250 VAC, at 50 to
440 Hz. Input power is connected to six, barrier-type, 32-screw terminals. A 0.75 Amp slow blow
fuse and fuse holder are mounted on the power supply chassis. (Refer to the spare parts list in
Chapter 7.) An electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter and surge suppressers are also mounted on
the power supply chassis.
With the battery backup option, a special TS310sc power supply operates on 12 VDC supplied by the
battery. The TS310sc 12 VDC power supply is rated 10 to 40 VDC input. A 5-Amp slow blow fuse
is also furnished with this power supply.
Inrush currents at power up are:
• 0.25 Amps for 110 V source
• 2.5 Amps for 24 V source
• 5 Amps for 10 V source
The power supply assembly converts the input power source to:
• +5.10 VDC (+/- 0.05)
• +15 VDC (+/- 0.75)
• -15 VDC (+/- 0.75)

4.3 Termination Panel

The Termination Panel is located in the lower half of the back of the TS310sc cabinet. Forty
terminals accommodate all I/O. Eight sockets, M1 through M8, accommodate the digital I/O relays.
Fuses F1 through F8 protect the eight digital I/O circuits external to the TS310sc. These are 5-Amp
plug-in pico fuses. F10 protects the +15 VDC circuit (terminal 20). This is a 0.5 Amp pico fuse. F9
protects the internal 5 VDC I/O relay circuit. This is a 0.5 Amp plug-in pico fuse. (All of these parts
are listed in the spare parts list in Chapter 7.)

Figure 27. Analog Output
NOTE: B-A and E-D jumpers multiply output configurations in Channels 062, 063, 064, 065 by
10. For example, if Channel 062 = 3 and Channel 063 = 16, No. 1 analog output will be
30 to 160 mA.
For high-level analog inputs (0 to 10 VDC), precision dropping resistors must be installed across the
terminals to convert 4 to 20 mA current signals to 1 to 5 VDC voltage signals (or 2 to 10 VDC, if
appropriate).
RTDs and thermocouples require external conditioning.
Digital input and output circuits do not require any external connections/modifications . They must
be connected to the appropriate I/O module (M1 through M8) as provided.
4.4 Keyboard
The operator keyboard is a membrane type keypad. It is bonded to the door of the TS310sc enclosure
and then sealed with a bezel.
The keyboard is connected by ribbon cable to P3 on the main circuit on the TS310sc main board.

Chapter 5 - Maintenance 37
Chapter 5 - Maintenance
5.1 General
The TS310sc Surge Controller is completely solid state and therefore requires minimal maintenance.
It should be inspected periodically to assure that the internal connections and components are dry and
securely fastened.
TS310sc problems can occur in:
• Speed sensors
• The final actuator
• Electrical-to-pneumatic or hydraulic transducers
• Controller electronics
• Application and configuration
Prior to troubleshooting, check the following:
• Power is turned on.
• Supply voltage is correct.
• Air and/or hydraulic supply is on.
• Steam or fuel lines are correctly lined up.
If the actuator or control valve has one of the following devices, make sure that it is disabled before
attempting startup with the TS310sc.
• Bypass
• Hand jack
• Manual station
• Trip device
If the TS310sc detects a signal from one of these devices, it will not function.
5.2 Speed Sensors

Speed sensors are normally magnetic pickups. Pickup failure results in loss of signal and the
TS310sc will not operate.
Measure the pickup output at the TS310sc; The specified minimum voltage is 1 VAC RMS measured
at the controller.
Magnetic pickups are extremely reliable and will rarely fail if properly installed. Most failures are
caused by excessive temperatures or mechanical rubbing on the gear.
October 1997 Rev. 1

5.3 Actuators
Final actuators may be pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric. Troubleshooting actuators requires a
thorough understanding of actuators and their operation.
The actuator must move the valve or pilot smoothly. Hysteresis or dead band from loose links or
pins causes the controller to swing or hunt without stabilizing.
Actuator motion must be linear with the control output. Non-linear positioners will cause poor and
erratic operation. The actuator should stroke in a minimum of time. Rare exceptions may require
slower stroking time to match a machine’s dynamic response.
5.4 Transducers
A variety of electric-to-pneumatic or hydraulic transducers is available. Refer to the TS310sc output
specifications in Chapter 8 of this users guide for requirements. The TS310sc output must be
configured to match the transducer.
Consult the specific manufacturer's literature for calibration and maintenance information on
actuators, transducers, speed sensors, and hydraulic systems.
5.5 Controller Electronics

The TS310sc has been designed using the latest semiconductor technology; consequently,
maintenance should be minimal. Repairs should be restricted to replacing circuit boards or
assemblies.
There are only four active assemblies in the unit. Refer to Chapter 4 of this manual for a detailed
discussion of these assemblies.
• Main circuit board
• Termination panel
• Power supply assembly
• Keyboard
All circuit boards and assemblies are connected using plug-in connectors. Perform operational
checks or voltage readings to determine what is causing the problem, and replace the defective
assembly.
By substituting assemblies, any hardware problem should be corrected in a few minutes. The
defective assembly should be returned to TRISEN for repair or exchange (see the front of this
manual for instructions).
Be sure replacement parts are configured for the particular application in which they will be used . If
the main board is replaced, it must be configured before it will work. Critical applications should
have spare main boards always available that have been configured, tested and inspected in advance.
Units must be tuned for their application. This is performed on location by the customer. Each
controller is a PID three-mode controller.
• Tuning constants must be entered when a unit is reconfigured.
• The constants should be adjusted with the unit in operation for optimum performance.
• Use Derivative Action only when necessary; and then start with very small amounts.
October 1997 Rev. 1
Chapter 5 - Maintenance 39
5.6 Diagnostics
Diagnostics are run at all times when the TS310sc is powered up. The results of the diagnostics are
displayed in the eight-digit read-out on the front panel when the unit is initially powered up, or when
jumper MC0 is placed in the MC3 position on the Main Board. The system can be cleared for
normal display by replacing the jumper to the MC0 position, or by pressing CLEAR after the
diagnostics have been fully displayed at power up.
Diagnostic results are displayed right to left. A 0 is displayed for test pass and an E is displayed for
test fail. The following list explains what diagnostic test result is displayed in each position.
1 = RAM 5 = A/D
2 = EPROM 6 = D/A
3 = EEPROM 7 = Digital I/O
4 = Keyboard 8 = Communications
5.7 Power Supply Replacement

When replacing the power supply, do the following:
1. Provide a current copy of the controller configuration, so it can be re-entered if
necessary.
2. Disconnect the ac or dc supply/input power to the TS310sc.
3. Remove the input power wires from the TS310sc power supply.
4. Unplug the dc power cable from P2 on the main board. Remove all cable ties from the
output cable.
5. Remove the two #8-32 screws holding the power supply assembly; then remove the
power supply.
6. Install the new power supply assembly in reverse order of removal (Steps 5-1 above).
Make sure the cable ties are replaced. In addition, make sure the cables are prevented
from getting caught in the door, or touching the circuit board anywhere except their
connector.
7. The power supply adjustment must be done while monitoring the voltage at the
mainboard +5V testpoint. Use the mainboard DGN testpoint as the reference common
for the +5V measurement.
8. Adjust the potentiometer on the power supply until a voltage of 5.10 VDC, +/- 0.05 V is
obtained at the mainboard +5V testpoint.
October 1997 Rev. 1

5.8 Analog Outputs (Channels 062, 063, 064, 065)

No. 1 and No. 2 control outputs can be calibrated within the range 0 to 20 mA; or, by using jumpers
which multiply by ten, within the range 0 to 200 mA (Refer to Jumpers in paragraph 4.3).
Analog Output Minimum Maximum
No. 1 CH 062 CH 063
No. 2 CH 064 CH 065
Consequently, if Output No. 1 should be a 4 to 20 mA signal; enter 4.00 in Channel (CH) 062 and
20.00 in CH 063.
NOTE: When using the TRISEN M360 Tester/Simulator, always configure outputs for 0 to 20 mA.
If an output should be in the 0 to 200 mA range (30 to 160 mA, for example), configure CH 062 (or
CH 064) for 3.00 mA and CH 063 (or CH 065) for 16.00 mA. Jumpers (see paragraph 4.3) multiply
by ten, resulting in the 30 to 160 mA output signal(s).
NOTE: Always enter the minimum signal value before the maximum value. If the minimum value
is changed, the maximum value will automatically change by a corresponding amount and
will be in error.
TS310sc analog outputs can drive 7 Volts. Therefore, the total output loop resistance, including the
barriers, wiring, metering, and final element burden resistance, cannot exceed the values in the
following table.
Maximum Current Maximum Loop Resistance Volts*
20 mA 350 Ohms 7
40 mA 175 Ohms 7
100 mA 70 Ohms 7
160 mA 43 Ohms 7
200 mA 35 Ohms 7
*NOTE: The open circuit voltage of the analog outputs may exceed 15 VDC.

Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting 41
Chapter 6 - TS310sc Troubleshooting

6.1 Introduction
This troubleshooting guide is designed to assist in solving problems that might occur in the Triconex
TS310sc controller. It has been set up to “walk through” a problem one step at a time. Triconex
recommends taking each step, one at a time; then checking after each step to see if the problem has
been solved.
Many problems may not be caused by the TS310sc. They may be caused by something external to
the TS310sc, such as the mechanics of the compressor valves, feedback transducers, loose wiring,
etc. These types of problems are not covered in this guide.
If a problem is not resolved after checking with the guide, Triconex recommends calling their in-
house Customer Service Department. This department has highly skilled technicians on duty 24
hours a day. The department is open for calls from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
After hours, requests for help are directed to on-call technicians by Triconex’s answering service.
For further assistance, please call 409-935-3555.

6.5.4 Critical Speed information is entered in the TS310sc.
Jumper Not 2. As the compressor increases in speed, watch Channel 005.
Working As the actual speed approaches the minimum critical speed,
determine whether the speed setpoint display indicates that
the speed setpoint changed to the maximum critical speed
setpoint at the configured rate. If it does not, go to 5.
3. If the Channel 005 setpoint moves at the required rate, but
the machine speed follows the setpoint too slowly, verify the
speed loop tuning in Channels 020 and 021 (if startup tuning
is configured, 094 and 095).
- If the machine responds too slowly, try to “speed-up” the
tuning. Configuring the speed PID for “Tracking” control in
Channel 156 may also help speed up the response to setpoint
changes.
- Check Channel 008 as the compressor is going through its
critical speed. The output should increase at a faster rate than
normal. If it does not, a valve limit or tuning adjustment may
be slowing the response.
4. Check the calibration of the TS310sc output versus the
controller valve.

must be satisfied for the speed switch to operate.
2. If a status indicator for the #1 speed switch has been
configured in the digital I/O Channels 072 through 079.
Check the status indicator when the frequency reaches the
setpoint (Channel 18) value. If the indicator does not
function, go to 4.

6.5.7 Idle Speed Not Make certain the configuration is complete and correct for
Working the TS310sc to control an idle speed.
2. Check the configuration for an idle run contact. The contact
must be in Idle to stop at idle.
3. If the problem is unstable operations, the system may need to
be tuned in Channels 020 and 021, or 094 and 095. If tuning
does not remove the instability, go to 5.
4. If the problem is no idle speed, go to 5.
5. Check the calibration of the TS310sc output versus the
controller valve. If the output is not working, refer to
paragraph 6.4.1, V1 Output Not Working. If the valve is not
working correctly, repair the valve.

1. If the rate of speed change is too fast/slow from 0 speed to
6.5.8 Speed Change minimum speed, refer to Speed Input Not Displaying.
Too Slow/Fast 2. If the rate of speed change is too fast/slow between minimum
and maximum governor, check the setpoint ramp rate
settings. These entries are scaled in percent of maximum
governor or controller span per second. Channel 158 adjusts
the analog remote setpoint ramp rate and Channel 067 adjusts
the local setpoint ramp rate.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, enter the new rate in Channel
067 for local setpoint or Channel 158* for analog remote
setpoint.
*NOTE: If no entry is made in Channel 158 (i.e. 158 =

0.00%), then the Channel 067 ramp rate is used for all local
and remote setpoints.
4. Check Channels 020, 021, and 022 to determine the tuning of
the speed controller. It may be necessary to make changes in
these channels to increase or reduce the rate.
5. While making a local setpoint change, check Channel 005.
This channel will display the speed setpoint. Observe how
fast the control is trying to make a speed change. If the
setpoint changes too fast, make Channel 067 smaller, if it is
too slow, make Channel 067 larger.
6. Check the I/P or actuator to verify they are operating
correctly.

1. If the rate of speed change is too fast/slow between minimum
6.5.9 Compressor and maximum governor, check the setpoint ramp rate
Speed Changes settings. These entries are scaled in percent of maximum
Too Fast/Slow In governor or controller span per second. Channel 158 adjusts
Controller Range the analog remote setpoint ramp rate and Channel 067 adjusts
the local setpoint ramp rate.
If an adjustment is necessary, enter the new rate in Channel

067 for local setpoint or Channel 158* for analog remote
setpoint.
*NOTE: If no entry is made in Channel 158 (i.e. 158 =

0.00%), then the Channel 067 ramp rate is used for all local
and remote setpoints.
2. Check Channels 020, 021, and 022 to determine the tuning of
the speed controller. To increase or reduce the rate, try
making changes in these channels. If so, see the appendix for
information on loop tuning.
3. If the second PID is used for pressure or flow control and the
problem is response when the second PID is enabled then,
check Channels 024, 025, and 026 to determine the tuning of
the second PID controller. It may be necessary to make
changes in these channels to increase or reduce the speed of
response. If so, see the appendix for information on loop
tuning.
4. Check Channel 005 while making a local setpoint change.
This channel will display the speed setpoint. Observe how
fast the control is trying to make a speed change. If the
setpoint changes too fast, make Channel 067 smaller. If it is
too slow, make Channel 067 larger.
5. Check Channel 156. If the response to setpoint changes is
too slow and the controller is configured for regulatory PID
form then try “tracking.” If the response is too fast and the
controller is configured for tracking PID form then try
“regulatory.”
6. Check the calibration of the controller valve versus the
current output for V1.

6.6 Nozzle Valves

1. Check Channels 040, 041, 070, 071, 072 through 079, and
6.6.1 Nozzle Valve #1 081 to make certain the TS310sc is configured correctly for
Not Working the #1 nozzle valve.
2. If an analog input is configured as Nozzle Valve Control
Signal in Channel 070 or 071, verify that the signal is present
and working correctly. If the input is not working, refer to
paragraph 6.7, Analog Inputs.
October 1997 Rev. 1


3. Refer to Paragraph 6.8.1, Digital I/O Not Activating.
6.7 Analog Inputs

1. Check Channels 046-049 and 070 to make certain the #1
6.7.1 #1 Analog Input analog input is configured in the TS310sc.
Not Working 2. Look at Channel 001 on the TS310sc display. There should
be a value in engineering units between what is configured in
Channels 048 and 049. If not, go to 4.
3. Verify the digital readout for Channel 001 is working. A
functioning readout indicates that the hardware part of the #1
analog input is working. Look through the analyses listed in
this chapter and find one that covers problems with this
analog input, such as second PID controller, etc.
4. Check the input wiring to the #1 analog input. Make certain
all connections are correct. The input signal for analog input
#1 is connected at terminals #8 (-) and #9 (+). A current
signal input must be imposed across a resistor. For example:
a 4-20 mA signal needs a 250 Ohm resistor across the
terminations to develop a 1 to 5 Volt input.
5. Check the voltage at the input with a Volt meter. If the
voltage and polarity across the input terminals are correct for
the configured range, verify the A/D raw counts in Channel
151. If the counts are at 0 or 4095, the signal is probably
outside the common mode range of the TS310sc.
It may be necessary to use an isolator on this input.

6.8 Digital I/O

1. Make certain the digital I/O is configured properly in the
6.8.1 Digital I/O Not correct channel location.
Activating 2. Watch the red LED just above the digital I/O module that is
causing problems and enable the I/O. The LED should
change state. If it does, go to step 6.
3. Verify the wiring for the digital I/O is going to the correct
terminals.
4. Verify the module that is causing problems is the correct
module type for the voltage and load.
5. Pull the small 5 Ampere pico fuse located to the left of the
digital I/O module that is not operating. Verify the fuse is
good. If it is good, put it back. If it is bad, replace it with a
5A pico fuse.
6. Inspect the 40-pin ribbon cable between the main board and
the termination board. Verify that the cable is securely
plugged in at both ends.
7. Cycle the power off to the TS310sc, and then cycle the power
back on.
8. Substitute a known good module of the same type for the
suspect module and try again.

1. Check the proper channel where a contact I/O is configured
6.8.2 Contact I/O (Channels 072-079). The first number of the four digit
Working In configuration word determines the state of the contact I/O.
Reverse Order 2. If the contact I/O has a first number of 0, the contact I/O is
unused.
3. If the contact I/O has a first number of 1, the contact I/O is an
input from an outside contact. N.O. means the input will
function as the input contact closes.
4. If the contact I/O has a first number of 2, the contact I/O is an
input from an outside contact. N.C. means the input will
function as the input contact opens.
5. If the contact I/O has a first number of 3, the contact I/O is a
N.O. output. When a function is active in the TS310sc, the
output contact will close.
6. If the contact I/O has a first number of 4, the contact I/O is a
N.C. output. This means when a function is active, the
TS310sc will open the contact output.
7. When using an output from the TS310sc, check the solenoid,
relay, or whatever device is being driven. Verify its status
(N.O. or N.C.).
8. When using an input to the TS310sc, check the switch, relay,
or whatever other device is providing an input. Verify its
status
(N.O. or N.C.).

6.9.1 Inlet Pressure Not the application.
Controlling 2. Check Channels 024-027 to verify that some type of tuning
data has been configured.
3. If there is no status indicator that turns on when the second
PID is cascaded, configure one in Channel 084.
4. If Channel 083 is configured to enable the second PID
controller at minimum speed, go to 8.
5. After the compressor reaches minimum speed, press <F1>.
The status indicator should turn on.
