PED-902 PROGRAMMER

The PED-902 model microprocessor/programmer/time counter is based on a 16-bit

microcontroller with 32 kbytes of reprogrammable ROM and 2 kbytes of RAM, as well as an
EEPROM storing the configuration parameters and run variables.

OPERATION

Start-up:

If, when you turn the power on, the message “System Off” appears on the screen, this
indicates that the unit is receiving power, that there has been no error and that the dryer is
out of service. In this status, both the time counter and the programmer are disabled. If,
when you turn the power on, the unit’s status and cumulative time counter of the unit’s hours
of operation appear, this indicates that the unit is in service. In this status, both the time
counter and the programmer are enabled.

Equipment status

Equipment off Current time Time counter

Dryer off/on:

To move the unit from active to inactive or vice versa, press the “ON-OFF” key and
hold it down for 3 seconds. It is recommended that once the PED-902 has been
switched on for the first time you should use the “IPM” switch on the control panel for
stopping and starting the dryer unit. On heat regeneration dryers, when the heating is
activated the equipment cannot be stopped with the “ON-OFF” key. If the “ON-OFF”
key is held down continuously for 3 seconds in this situation, the programmer will
make a conditional stop and, once the unit’s heating period is complete, it will stop
automatically.

When the conditional stop is activated, the “?” symbol will appear in the top right-
hand corner. If you want to remove the conditional stop from the unit, you need to
hold the “ON-OFF” key down for 3 seconds again, and the “?” symbol will disappear.

Fast cycle time advance:

Pressing the ‘ ’ and ‘!’ keys increases or decreases the time of the programmed
cycle the programmer is currently in. In order to give the different mechanical
manoeuvre elements time to stabilise, a 10-second delay time has been fixed after
the change of columns for heatless regeneration units. The delay is 20 seconds for
heat regeneration units. During this time it will not be possible to access any
programmer configuration parameter with the keyboard. If the ‘ ’ or ‘!’ key is held
down for 4 seconds, the programmed cycle time advances rapidly.

Unit status:

The PED-902 programmer has a liquid crystal alphanumeric screen showing the
status of the unit, the cycle time and the cumulative hours of operation. The
abbreviations that appear on the screen are ‘SEC’ for Drying, ‘CAL’ for Heating,
‘REG’ for Regenerating and ‘PRE’ for Pressurising, followed by the number of the
column in which the operation is being carried out (1 for the left-hand tower and 2 for
the right-hand tower). The time base will be the one corresponding to the type of unit:
minutes for heat regeneration units and seconds for heatless regeneration units.

CONFIGURATION

The PED-902 programmer can be configured with the operating parameters from the keys
on the front and remotely from a personal computer (PC) via an RS-232 communications
port and the appropriate optional software. It is also possible to interconnect and control up
to 32 drying units with PED-902 programmers using an RS-485 communication port and
configure them remotely from a personal computer using the appropriate optional software.

To go into the configuration parameters from the keys on the front of the programmer, you
need to keep the three blue keys on the right of the front pressed simultaneously. The first
configuration parameter (Time 1) is the value of the semi-cycle or change of drying column
time. The second parameter (Time 2) is the value of the heating time for heat regeneration
equipment. Finally, the third parameter (Time 3) is the value of the regeneration time. These
three parameters are common for both columns (or semi-cycles). The value of the
parameter to be configured is increased or decreased using the ‘ ’ and ‘!’ keys. If the ‘ ’ or
‘!’ key is held down for 2 seconds it increases or decreases rapidly. To confirm the value
introduced and move to the next parameter you need to press the ‘SET’ key for 2 seconds.

To change the terminal number and operating mode of the unit, you need to go into the
configuration parameters and then press the red and blue ‘ ’ keys simultaneously. The first
parameter that can be changed will be the terminal number (1 by default). The second
parameter will the dryer operating mode, which is changed according to the values in the
“Operating modes table”.

15 AA with one, three-way valve at inlet.
16 AA with two, two-way valves at inlet.
- Operating mode table -

The “Operating Mode” parameter consists of two digits. The first corresponds to the time
base of the PED-902 programmer – 0 for the time base in seconds and 1 for the time base
in minutes. The second digit corresponds to the type of chart the optional software on the
personal computer must select and represent.

Once the last configuration parameter has been confirmed with the ‘SET’ key, the
programmer moves out of configuration status and restarts the cycle it was in before (the
configuration parameters in the EEPROM are updated and both the programmer and the
time counter are restarted). If no key is pressed for 15 seconds in configuration mode, the
processor moves out of configuration status, saving the last values read.

APPENDIX C

IC912LX THERMOSTAT

DRYER INLET TEMPERATURE INDICATOR/ALARM.

The IC912 series regulator installed in the drying equipment is a controller with a wide range of
features, of which only those concerning temperature control are used, so it acts only as a
maximum thermostat.

The configuration parameters and how to change them are indicated below. The unit, and with it
the temperature regulator, is delivered already set and checked, so only the configuration
parameters that it might be necessary to change in the field, in relation to actual working
conditions based on the established theories, are mentioned.

Changing the set point:

If you press the ‘SET’ key, the ‘SET’ folder will be displayed. To see the established set point,
press the ‘SET’ key again.

The outlet relay activation value will be the set point, adding the value of the programmed
differential. Depending on whether you want the outlet relay to act before or after the set point,
you will need to configure the HC parameter of the thermostat as appropriate (Heat or Cool
mode).

To change the value of the set point you need to press the ‘SET’ key until the set point value
appears (twice) and use the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ keys to change the value. To confirm the new
value you need to press the ‘SET’ key.

If no key is pressed for 15 seconds or if the ‘FNC’ key is pressed, the instrument goes back to
its default status.

Changing the parameters:

If you hold down the ‘SET’ key for 5 seconds, you access the thermostat configuration
parameters. The configuration parameters are grouped in folders. To access the parameters in
each folder it will be necessary to go back and press the ‘SET’ key and use the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’
keys to move through the different parameters. To get out of a folder or a configuration
parameter you need to press the ‘FNC’ key (move up a level from where you are).

HD-08/E_EN Marzo13 jb
 Page 18

To change the value of a parameter you need to press the ‘SET’ key and use the ‘Up’ and
‘Down’ keys to change its value. To confirm the new value, press the ‘SET’ key.

If no key is pressed for 15 seconds or if the ‘FNC’ key is pressed, the instrument goes back to
its default status.

The folders and their configuration parameters are as follows:

‘rE1’ folder: HC1, db1, dF1, HS1, LS1, dn1, dO1, di1, dE1, On1, OF1.
‘AL’ folder: PAO, SAO, tAO.
‘Add’ folder: dEA, FAA.
‘diS’ folder: LOC, PA1, ndt, CA1, dro.
‘CnF’ folder: H00, rEL, tAb.
‘FPr’ folder: Fr.

The job required of the temperature controller largely uses the configuration parameters
mentioned in the following table. Of course, all the thermostat parameters have been configured
at origin and they must not be changed under any circumstances.
