 DX-9100 Extended Digital Plant
Controller

Introduction This document covers all three versions of the DX-9100 Extended Digital
Controller, including the DX-912x LONWORKS® version. They include:
Version 1 – provides up to eight output modules, which are configured to
give two analog outputs and six digital outputs (triacs).
Version 2 – provides six additional analog output modules, giving a total
of eight analog outputs.
Version 3 – the DX-912x LONWORKS version brings peer-to-peer
communication to the feature set of the Version 2 controller,
and enhanced alarm reporting capability when used as an
integral part of an Building Automation System (BAS).
In this document, BAS is a generic term, which refers to the
Metasys® Network, Companion™, and Facilitator™ supervisory systems.
The specific system names are used when referring to system-specific
applications.
The DX-9100 is the ideal digital control solution for multiple chiller or
boiler plant control applications, for the Heating, Ventilating, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) process of air handling units or for distributed
lighting and related electrical equipment control applications. It provides
precise Direct Digital Control (DDC) as well as programmed logic control.
In a standalone configuration, the DX-9100 Controller has both the
hardware and software flexibility to adapt to the variety of control
processes found in its targeted applications. Along with its outstanding
control flexibility, the controller can expand its input and output point
capability by communicating with I/O Extension Modules on an expansion
bus, and provides monitoring and control for all connected points via its
built-in Light-Emitting Display (LED). Versions 1 and 2 can communicate
on the N2 Bus as well as on the System 91 Bus*, providing point control
to the full BAS Network or to the N30 system or Companion/Facilitator
System. The Version 3 controller uses the LONWORKS (Echelon®) N2 Bus
of the Metasys Control Module (NCM311 or NCM361 in Europe,
NCM300 or NCM350 elsewhere) in place of the N2 Bus.

*The terms System 91 Bus and Metasys Control Station are not used in North America.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 5

 The DX-9100 has two packaging styles. In Version 1, all terminals for
field wiring are located within the controller enclosure. Versions 2 and 3
require a separate field wiring mounting base or cabinet door mounting
frame, which enables all field wiring to be completed before the controller
is installed.

Figure 1: Version 1 (DX-9100-8154)

Figure 2: DX-9100-8454 (Version 2)/DX-912x-8454 (Version 3)

with Mounting Base

Note: The mounting base differs for DX-9120 and DX-9121.

6 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

 The DX-9100 processes the analog and digital input signals it receives,
using twelve multi-purpose programmable function modules, a software
implemented Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), time schedule
modules, and optimal start/stop modules; producing the required outputs
(depending on the module configuration), operating parameters, and
programmed logic.
Configuration of all versions of the DX-9100 Controller are achieved by
using a Personal Computer (PC) with GX-9100 Graphic Configuration
Software (Version 5 or later) supplied by Johnson Controls. Changes to
the configuration can be made by using an SX-9120 Service Module
(Version 3.1 or later).
Versions 1 and 2 The DX-9100 unit (Versions 1 and 2) has two communication links.
(N2 Bus) One is called the N2 Bus or Bus 91 (the term Bus 91 is not used in
North America) and is used to interface to a supervisory unit. The other
link is called the XT Bus and is used to expand the DX-9100 input/output
capability by interfacing up to eight XT-9100 or XTM-905 extension
modules. The DX-9100 input/output can be extended by up to 64 remote
input/outputs, analog or digital, depending on the type of the connected
extension modules and XP expansion modules.
Point connections are made on XP modules, which are monitored and
controlled by the XT-9100 or XTM-905 modules. For more details, refer
to the XT-9100 Technical Bulletin in the System 9100 Manual (FAN 636.4
or 1628.4). One XP module can provide either eight analog points or
eight digital points. Two XP modules connected to one extension module
provides eight analog and eight digital points, or sixteen digital points.
Version 1 or 2 of the DX-9100 can be used as a standalone controller or it
can be connected to a BAS through the RS-485 serial communications bus
(N2 Bus or Bus 91).
Version 3 Version 3 of the controller (DX-912x-8454) brings peer-to-peer
(LONWORKS communication to the feature set of the Version 2 controller, and enhanced
N2 Bus) alarm reporting capability when used as an integral part of a Metasys BAS
Network.
The new communications features are provided by the LONWORKS
Network, which enables Version 3 controllers to pass data from one to
another and to send event-initiated data to the NCM350 (NCM361 in
Europe) Network Control Module, in the BAS. The LONWORKS (Echelon)
N2 Bus is used in place of the N2 Bus, and the NCM300 or NCM350
(NCM311 or NCM361 in Europe) must be fitted with a LONWORKS
(Echelon) driver card.
The Version 3 controller retains all the input/output point and control
capabilities of the Version 2 controller, including the point expansion
feature using extension modules and expansion modules.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 7

 In addition to the Version 2 features, the Version 3 controller has network
input and output points, which can be configured to transmit and receive
data over the LONWORKS Bus. Each controller may have up to 16 network
analog input modules, 16 network analog output modules, 8 network
digital input modules, and 8 network digital output modules. While
network analog input and output modules each contain a single analog
value, the network digital input and output modules each contain 16 digital
states, which are transmitted as a block between controllers. The
transmission of point data is managed by the LONWORKS Network and is
independent of the supervisory functions of the BAS Network Control
Module (NCM). A network of Version 3 controllers can be installed to
share analog and digital data between controllers on a peer-to-peer basis; a
Network Control Module is not required unless the network is to be
supervised by a BAS.
Complex control strategies may now be performed in multiple DX-912x
controllers without the need for network data exchange routines in a
supervisory controller. Applications include the control of multiple,
interdependent air handling units, and large hot water or chilled water
generating plants with components distributed in various locations within
the building.

LONMARK The Version 3 controller has been approved as a LONMARK device and
Compatibility conforms to the LONMARK specification for network data transmission.

LONMARK devices may be requested from your local Johnson Controls
office.

are identical. At -40°C (-40°F), the reading will be 0.8°C (1.5°F)
high. At 38°C (100°F), the reading will be 0.3°C (0.5°F) high.
For Resistance Temperature Device (RTD) inputs, the range of the
displayed value is fixed according to the type of sensor. The high/low
range entries will not have any effect on the actual sensor readout. The

X2 X1 = 11 Output 4-20 mA (not available for Outputs 11-14)

AO: Source This defines the source of the numeric control signal that drives the output
module. The output module can, alternatively, have two logic sources: the
source of the increase signal and the source of the decrease signal. The rate
of increase or decrease is fixed at 1% per second.

Expand both source and AOn modules. Place the mouse on the source
point. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor to the center of
AO@. The connection will be made when the mouse button is released.
If logic variables (Increase/Decrease) are used as a source to drive the
analog output, then the source module and AOn module must be expanded
as described above. Place the cursor on the logic source point. Press the
mouse button and while keeping it pressed, drag the cursor to INC@ in the
AOn module. Release the mouse button to make the connection. Repeat
the same procedure for the DEC@ connection.

AO: Forcing This defines the source of a logic variable that forces the Analog Output to
Mode and Level a forcing level between 0 and 100%. When the logic source is 1, the AO
will be forced to the % entered in Forcing Level. When the logic source
is 0, the AO will be commanded to position via the source point.
Note: If a PID is connected to the AO and the AO is forced, the PID will
experience force-back, which means the PID is also in Hold mode
at this time and its output is forced to the value of the analog
output.

Digital Output The DX-9100 Controller has six digital output modules that are used to
Configuration control six triacs. The digital output module provides the interface
between a triac output and a numeric or logic variable. The modules can
be programmed as one of five main output types.
Some of the output types drive two consecutive outputs. In that case the
second, consecutive module will be disabled, as it cannot be executed.
For each digital output module one must define:
• the type of output
• User Name and Description
For digital output modules defined as PAT or DAT, you must also define:
• the source
• increase/decrease source (if any)
• the source of the feedback (if any) (PAT only)
• the low and high ranges
• the Forcing Mode and Level
• Hold or Auto on power up
• output limits, enable limits source (if any)
• the PAT full stroke time or DAT cycle
• the PAT deadband or DAT minimum on/off time
The types of configurations are described next, followed by the steps
needed to configure the outputs.

PAT Position The PAT output type uses a pair of triacs and a numeric source.
Adjust Type Position Adjust Type control is also known as incremental control. Using
High Range and Low Range parameters, the value of the numerical source
is normalized to a 0-100% value and is used as the required position for
the output.
The PAT output may have a physical feedback value signal (0-100%) from
an analog input or other numerical variable. In this configuration the
output module will drive the first triac of the pair (increase or up signal) as
long as the feedback value is less than the required position. It will drive
the second triac of the pair (decrease or down signal) as long as the
feedback value is greater than the required position. A deadband
(in percent) is specified to avoid unnecessary cycling of the triac outputs
when the feedback signal is approaching the required position, and
compensates for any hysteresis or mechanical tolerances in the driven
device.

32 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

 When the PAT output does not have a physical feedback signal, it operates
on the amount of change in the required position. To synchronize the PAT
output module to the driven device, whenever the required position goes to
100%, the first triac (increase) will be switched on for the calculated time
and will remain on for the specified Full Stroke Time of the driven device.
Whenever the required position goes to 0%, the second triac (decrease)
will be switched on for the calculated time and will remain on for the
specified Full Stroke Time. If the required position remains at 100% or
0%, the appropriate triac will be switched on for the Full Stroke Time
every two hours to ensure that the driven device remains at its end position
over an extended period of time. For all other values of the required
position, the PAT output module calculates the appropriate increase or
decrease time, based on the Full Stroke Time, to bring the driven device
from the last required position to the current required position, and
switches the appropriate triac on for this time. The triac will not be
switched if the change in the required position is less than the specified
deadband. The calculation of the PAT time is performed on each processor
cycle (every second), and the minimum triac on time is 100 msec.
Note: The DX display panel shows the required position value (OUTn)
for the digital output module associated with the first triac output.

DAT Duration The DAT output type provides a time-based duty cycle output that is
Adjust Type proportional to the value of a numeric source. Using High Range and
Low Range parameters, the value of the numerical source is normalized to
a 0-100% value as is used as the required duty cycle. For example, with a
25% duty cycle and a DAT cycle time of 600 seconds, the triac output will
be switched on for 150 seconds and off for 450 seconds. At 0% required
duty cycle the triac is always off, and at 100% duty cycle the triac is
always on. To avoid short on pulses when the required duty cycle is close
to 0%, or short off pulses when the required duty cycle is close to 100%, a
minimum on/off time may be specified (in percent of duty cycle). For
applications with a short DAT duty cycle (< 10 sec) it should be noted that
the absolute minimum on or off time of the output triac is 100 msec. The
DAT will always complete a calculated on or off period before
recalculating the next off or on time from the current value of the numeric
source. The DAT recalculates after its on time and after its off time so a
full on/off cycle may not equal the repetition cycle if the numeric source is
changing.

On/Off This type provides a single maintained on/off triac output. It can be driven
by either a logic source or numeric source where a positive value would
equal an on and a zero or negative value would equal an off.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 33

STA/STO This type uses a pair of triac outputs and requires a logic source. A start
command (logic source changes from 0 to 1) sends a one second pulse to
the first triac of the pair and a stop command (logic source changes from
1 to 0) sends a one second pulse to the second triac.
Note: The DX display panel shows the status of the logic source to the
digital output module associated with the first triac output. This
displayed status is also the last command (on or off) to the triac
pair. The display does not indicate the actual triac status.

PULSE This type provides a single momentary triac output from a logic source.
When the logic source becomes a 1, a one second pulse is sent to the triac.
When the logic source changes to 0, a one second pulse is sent to the same
triac.

 X3 X2 X1 = 110 Start/Stop: combination of two outputs driven from a
logic source. This module gives the start command,
and the next digital output (in numerical sequence)
gives the stop command. Each triac switches on for
one second.
X3 X2 X1 = 111 Pulse Type: the output generates a one second pulse
for each state transition of a logic source.

DO: Source This defines the source of the signal that will drive the output module.
PAT and DAT output modules, alternatively to one numeric source, can
have two logic sources: the source of the increase signal and the source of
the decrease signal. The rate of increase or decrease for PAT type outputs
is derived from the full stroke time. For DAT type outputs the rate is
1% per second.

Extension Note: The XTM-905 extension module may be connected to DX

Module controllers, Versions 1.4, 2.3, 3.3, or later, and is configured,
Configuration monitored and controlled using the same Items as the XT-9100
extension module.
The parameters for the configuration of inputs and outputs in extension
modules reside partly in the DX-9100 Controller and partly in the
XT-9100 or XTM-905 Extension Module.
The parameters required by the DX-9100 Controller are described in detail
in this manual. For details on the extension modules, refer to the
XT-9100 Technical Bulletin (LIT-6364040) and the XT-9100
Configuration Guide (LIT-6364050), or the XTM-905 Extension Module,
XPx-xxx Expansion Modules Technical Bulletin (LIT-6364210).

42 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

 Each extension module is defined by the following parameters:
• input and output types, and XT/XTM layout map
• extension module address
• sources (connections) for outputs
• high and low ranges for analog outputs
• high and low limits for analog inputs

XT/XTM: Type, Via the GX Tool

Mode, and Map
The I/O type and map details are automatically generated by the GX-9100
Graphic Configuration Software when all I/O data for extension modules
has been entered, and can be downloaded to the DX-9100 and also to the
extension modules when connected to the DX-9100 via the XT Bus.
Select PM from the toolbar, then XT or XTM and the appropriate
input/output type. A module (box) appears. Place it where desired on
screen. The inputs and outputs for the XT/XTM appear on the left and
right sides of the screen, respectively. Configure each input/output as
appropriate (similarly to DX I/O).
A module labeled XTn or XTMn will be for the points in the first XP
connected to that XT or XTM. If a second XP is connected, the EXP
module must be defined immediately following the first XT or XTM.
An EXPn is always an expansion to the XTn-1 or XTMn-1 module.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 43

 Via the SX Tool
The I/O types and map are configured in Extension Module Items, under
XT Modules at XTnIOMAP (RI.00), XTnIOTYP (RI.01), and
XTnIOMOD (RI.02).
The I/O map (XTnIOMAP) defines which inputs/outputs (in pairs) on the
extension module are used and hence monitored or controlled by the
DX-9100. Eight extension modules can be defined, each with eight used
points, which normally reside on the first Expansion Module XP1
(I/O Points 1-8), defined in bits X1-4.
When an extension module has a second expansion module, XP2, with a
further eight points, these points must be defined in bits X5-8. However, in
this case, the next extension module in numerical sequence cannot be
configured because the DX-9100 will use the database area reserved for
the I/O points of the next extension module for the points of XP2 in this
extension module. For example, if Extension Module 1 (XT1 or XTM1)
has only one expansion module, XP1, all the points of XP2 will be
declared as not used (bits X5-8 set to 0) and Extension Module 2 can be
configured. However if Extension Module 1 has two expansion modules
and some points in XP2 are declared as used (one or more bits of X5-8 set
to 1), then Extension Module 2 (XT2 or XTM2) cannot be configured and
all its points must be declared as not used (bits X1-8 set to 0).The I/O type
(XTnIOTYP) defines which inputs/outputs (in pairs) are analog and which
are digital. As the points on XP2 (if used) must be digital, only bits X1-4
can be configured.
The I/O mode (XTnIOMOD) defines points as input or output (in pairs).
Only those points declared as used in Item XTnIOMAP will be monitored
or controlled.
The combination of data in the Items XTnIOMAP, XTnIOTYP, and
XTnIOMOD completely defines the configuration of an extension module.
An identical set of data must be entered into the Item database in the
XT-9100 or XTM-905 extension module, so that when the DX-9100 and
XT/XTM are connected and started up, the DX-9100 compares databases
and only send commands to the extension module if the data is identical,
thus avoiding incorrect control actions. If the databases are not identical,
Item XTnST, bit X6 (XTnERR) will be set. If the physical hardware of the
XT/XTM module does not correspond to the database, Item XTnST,
bit X4 (XTnHARD) is set.

XT/XTM: High For analog outputs, the Analog High Range (AHR) defines the level of the
and Low Ranges source control signal that will correspond to the maximum output at the

Outputs the source control signal that corresponds to the minimum output at the
extension module.
The value of the output is defined as follows:

100 x ( XTnI − XTnALR )

If XTnALR < XTnI < XTnAHR XTnAO =

Programmable The DX-9100 provides twelve programmable function modules that are
Function sequentially executed each second. The module’s function, inputs, and
Module outputs depend on the algorithm assigned to it. The assignment is made by
Configuration programming the module to correspond to the algorithm. Once the PM is
defined to perform a specific function, the remaining entries of the module
can be defined to achieve the desired output.

Parameter Tags Each of the twelve programmable function modules has a set of generic
parameters, each with a PM Tag.
Each of the available algorithms has a specific set of parameters, each with
an algorithm tag (Alg. Tag).
When an algorithm is assigned to a programmable function module, a
parameter has two tags:
• one PM Tag, which represents the generic function in the
programmable function module
• one Alg. Tag, which represents the specific function of the parameter
in the assigned algorithm
For example, the process variable connection in a PID control algorithm
assigned to Programmable Function Module 1 has a generic tag, PM1I1@.
In Algorithm 1 (PID controller) this same parameter has the tag PV@.
Both tags are listed in the Item list for the algorithms; one as PM Tag and
the other as Alg. Tag.
Note: In the GX Tool, algorithm tags are used exclusively. When
mapping Items to a BAS, such as Metasys PM tags are used.

Control The DX-9100 provides four control algorithms:

Algorithm
Configurations • PID Controller
• On/Off Controller
• Heating/Cooling PID Controller (Dual PID)
• Heating/Cooling On/Off Controller (Dual On/Off)
Each of these algorithms can be used in any one of the
twelve programmable function modules.
The algorithms have a number of different operating modes, which are a
function of operating parameters and digital connections.
Each control module operates from its Working Setpoint (WSP), which is
a resultant value calculated by the controller from the Reference Variable
(RV), the Local Setpoint (LSP), the Remote Setpoint (RSP), the
Standby Mode Bias (BSB), and the Off Mode Bias (BOF).
The algorithm then compares the Working Setpoint (WSP) with the
Process Variable (PV) to generate an output (OCM).

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 57

 • Comfort mode (or Occupied mode) is the working mode of the
algorithm to obtain the desired control typical during occupancy. The
output is calculated by the control algorithm using as working setpoint
the value:
WSP = RV * (LSP + RSP)
This mode is active when both Standby and Off modes are disabled.
• When operating in Standby mode the controller setpoint may be
reduced or increased when compared with the Comfort mode setpoint.
The output is calculated by the control algorithm using as working
setpoint the value:
WSP = RV * (LSP + RSP) + BSB
This mode is active when the standby module control connection is a
Logic 1 and the Off mode is disabled.
The standby bias is a signed number, expressed in the same units as
the PV.
• Off mode (Unoccupied mode) is similar to the Standby mode, but the
setpoint may be further reduced or increased. The output is calculated
by the control algorithm using the following function:
WSP = RV * (LSP + RSP) + BOF
This mode is active when the Off mode control connection is a
Logic 1.
The off bias is a signed number, expressed in the same units as the
PV.
In the Off mode, the output low limit of the controller is not used and
the output can fall to 0.
If both Standby and Off modes are active, the control module uses the
Off mode working setpoint.

58 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

Via the GX Tool
Before establishing the mode, you must first set the PM type to Control
and then to the appropriate type. Click on PM in the toolbar, select
Control, then PID, On/Off, Dual PID, or Dual On/Off, and position the
module (box) on the screen. Select the module and then Data to call up the
Data Window. Enter control parameters and modes.
To go to page 2, click on Data 2. At Standby Bias (BSB) or Off mode
Bias (BOF), enter a value to bias the WSP. For Dual PID or Dual On/Off
modules, enter values for each loop at Stdby Bias #1 (BSB1), Off Bias #1
(BOF1), Stdby Bias #2 (BSB2), and Off Bias #2 (BOF2).
To define the mode connections, expand source and destination modules.
Position the cursor on the source point. Press the mouse button, and while
keeping it pressed, drag the cursor to SB@. Release the mouse button to
make the connection. For Off mode, make a similar connection between
the respective source point and OF@.
When the connected logic variable is in a 1 state, the value entered will be
used to calculate the WSP of the module. The WSP is always the active
setpoint of the module.

Via the SX Tool

Define the PM type under Program Modules PMnTYP (RI.00):
1 = PID Controller
2 = On/Off
3 = Dual PID
4 = Dual On/Off
Then set the modes of operation under Program Modules:
PMnOF@ (RI.14) defines the Off mode control logic connection.
PMnSB@ (RI.15) defines the Standby mode control logic connection.
BSB1 (RI.30) defines the bias value during Standby mode in Loop 1.
BOF1 (RI.31) defines the bias value during Off mode in Loop 1.
For Dual PID and Dual On/Off only:
BSB2 (RI.47) defines the bias value during Standby mode in Loop 2.
BSF2 (RI.48) defines the bias value during Off mode in Loop 2.
The mode status of the controller can be read at Item PMnST (RI.72) as
follows:
X13 = Standby Mode (SB)
X12 = Off Mode (OF)

Remote Mode In Remote mode, the local setpoint is excluded from the calculation of the
working setpoint, and the WSP cannot be modified from the front panel of
the controller.

Via the GX Tool

Select the defined PMn, then Data in the module menu. At the
Remote mode: (0 = N) = field, enter 0 or 1:
If 0, the module will calculate from: WSP = RV * (LSP + RSP) + bias
If 1, the module will calculate from: WSP = RV * (RSP) + bias

X8 = 1 Remote mode enabled.

Minimum/ For the DX-9100, Version 1.1 or later, the calculated WSP value cannot
Maximum lie outside of limits set either by numeric connections or entered
Working parameters. If there are no connections, the values entered at Minimum
Setpoint Working Setpoint and Maximum Working Setpoint will be used. When
modifying the WSP from the front panel of the controller, it is not possible
to set a value for WSP, which lies outside of the set limits.

Via the GX Tool

Select the defined PMn. Then select Data in the module menu. In the Data
Window, select Data-2 to go to page 2. At the Minimum WSP (MNWS)
and Maximum WSP (MXWS) fields, enter values to not exceed the
working setpoint. To use source points for MNWS and MXWS, connect
the respective source points to MNWS@ and MXWS@. The values of
source points will take priority over entered values.

Output Forcing Commands from a BAS or connections to logic variables may override the
Actions output calculated by the control algorithm, forcing it to a preprogrammed
level of 0 or 1 for On/Off algorithms and 0-100% for PID algorithms.
While forcing is active, the module will stop calculating until forcing is
disabled. Each forcing condition is associated with an output forcing level.
The possible forcing conditions, ordered in priority, are:
• Shutoff mode (BAS only)
• Startup mode (BAS only)
• External Forcing mode
The function of each mode may be individually enabled in each control
module.
The configuration of startup and shutoff are also described under
Supervisory Mode Control Settings (General Module).

External Forcing With External Forcing mode, the control module output will assume a
configured forcing level between 0 and 100% for PID algorithms and of
0 or 1 for On/Off algorithms, overriding the output limits of the control
module.

Via the GX Tool

Expand source and destination modules. Make a connection between the
source point and EF@ in the destination model. When the connection is
a 1, the output will go to the value specified at ExtForce Out Level
(provided Shutoff and Startup are not active).
Select the defined PMn. Then select Data in the module menu. For a PID
module, at the ExtForce Out Level (EFL) field, enter the desired level as
a number in percent of output. For On/Off modules at the ExtForce Out
Level field enter 0 for Off and 1 for On.

document.
3. For details of the Hold mode and Computer mode, refer to

4. When the PID algorithm is using integral action, forcing actions to
either a PID or a connected AO will modify the integral term (I Term)
such that the internally calculated output of the control module is
equal to the forced value. This provides bumpless transfer when the
forcing is removed. In other words when the forcing is removed, the
output does not immediately change, but integrates to the new control
output value. If there is another module between the PID module and
the AO (a high selected, for example) and the AO is overridden, the
I Term will not be modified.

The PID algorithm is defined by the following equations:

Proportional The standard proportional control algorithm is as follows:

Control
Algorithm
P. Output = (100/PB) * Deviation + output bias (OB)
Where:
P. Output = proportional output of control module in %
PB = Proportional Band, defined as the amount of change in the
process variable, that produces a change of 0 to 100 on the
output of the control module
Deviation = the difference (error) of the Process Variable (PV) and the
Working Setpoint (WSP)
With proportional control, the deviation (or control error) is at zero only
when the output bias value matches the output value required to attain the
setpoint under the actual load conditions.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 63

Integral Control When using the integral (reset action) in a PID control module, the
Algorithm proportional output is increased or decreased by the integral output which
is determined through the following mathematical relationship:
I. Output(t) = I. Output(t-1) + (Proportional Output * TI *[1/60])
Where:
I. Output(t) = Current integral output
I. Output(t-1) = Previous integral output
TI = Reset action, expressed in repeats of proportional
control response per minute
Reset action is used to compensate for the deviation (or error) in
proportional control and reduces the deviation towards zero over time.
The integral computation is stopped as soon as the control module output
calculates its high or low output limits.
An integral time of zero disables the integral action.
The output of a PI algorithm is:
PI Output = P. Output + I. Output
Although the PI Output is normally limited to 0-100, the P. Output and
I. Output can individually be a negative number.

Derivative When using the derivative action (rate action) in a PID control module, the
Control 0-100 output is modified through the following mathematical calculation:
Algorithm
D. Output(t) = [(PV(t) - PV(t-1)) * CD] + (D. Output(t-1) * BD)
Where:
D. Output(t) = Current Derivative Output
D. Output(t-1) = Previous Derivative Output
PV(t) = Current Process Variable in % of input range
PV(t-1) = Previous Process Variable in % of range
BD = (60 * TD) / [4 + (60 * TD)]
CD = 120 * TD * (1 - BD) * 100/PB
TD = Rate action: a time constant determining the rate of
decay of the derivative output to ensure stable control.
Rate action is the braking response in case approach to the setpoint is too
rapid and may pass, or the accelerating response in case the deviation from
the setpoint is too rapid and may not be corrected quickly enough by PI
control.

64 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

 Most commercial HVAC applications will not require derivative action.
A rate action equal to zero disables the derivative term.
The output of a PID algorithm is:
PID Output = P.Output + I.Output + D.Output

Process Variable The Process Variable (PV) is an analog value connection to the control
Connection PV@ module. When the process variable is not equal to the setpoint, the
controller responds by changing its output value in accordance with the
PID parameters.

Via the GX Tool

Make a connection between the source point and PV@ in the destination
control module.

Via the SX Tool

Under Program Modules, configure the software connection by entering
the source address of the selected process variable at the PV@ Item
(RI.10) location in the defined PID module.

Remote Setpoint The Remote Setpoint (RSP) is an analog variable in the control module,
Connection RS@ in units of PV, which produces a bias in the local setpoint. If the input is
not connected, the controller will use the default value 0.
WSP = RV (RSP + LSP) + (bias)n

Via the GX Tool

Make a connection between the source point and RS@ in the destination
control module.

Via the SX Tool

Configure the software connection by entering the source address of the
selected remote setpoint at the RS@ Item (RI.11) location in the defined
PID module.

Reference The Reference Variable (RV) is an analog variable to the control module,
Variable which causes the control module to perform as a ratio controller. Its effect
Connection RV@ is a multiplier in the working setpoint calculation. If the input is not
connected, the controller will use the default value 1.
WSP = RV (RSP + LSP) + (bias)n

Via the GX Tool

Make a connection between the source point and RV@ in the destination
control module.

66 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

 Via the SX Tool
The software connection is configured by entering the source address of
the selected reference variable at the RV@ Item (RI.12) location in the
defined PID module.

Proportional The proportional band is a number that defines the action and sensitivity of
Band the control module. A negative number defines a reverse acting control
module; an increase of the process variable produces a decrease in the
output signal. A positive number defines a direct acting control module; an
increase of the process variable produces an increase in the output signal.
The number itself is an analog input connection (PB@) or value (PB) that
is expressed as a percentage of the process variable range. When the
process variable is one of the eight analog inputs to the DX-9100
Controller, the PV range is the range of the active analog input or the
control range of the passive analog input. Otherwise, the range defaults
to 0-100 (including all XP analog inputs). The connection is used for an
application requiring a dynamic proportional band, and if this input is not
connected, the controller will use the proportional band value of PB.
The number itself defines the percentage of the process variable range
change that will produce a full output signal change. For example, if the
process variable has a control range of 0 to 100, a proportional band of 2%
indicates that a change of 2 in the process variable will cause the control
module output signal to change by 100%. If the process variable range is
0-40, a proportional band of 10% indicates that a change of 4 in the
process variable will cause the control module output signal to change by
100%.

Via the GX Tool

Select the defined PID. Then select Data in the module menu. In the Data
Window, select Data-2 to go to page 2. At the Proport. Band (PB) field,
enter the required value.
Alternatively, make a connection between the source point and PB@ of
the control module.

Via the SX Tool

Under Program Modules, select the PID module. The software
connection is configured by entering the source address of the selected
proportional band at the PB@ Item (RI.13) location in the defined PID
module; or, enter a value for the proportional band at the PB Item (RI.27)
location.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 67

Reverse Action The Reverse Action Connection is a logic input to the control module,
Connection RA@ which changes its action from direct to reverse or vice versa.
If the input is not connected, the controller uses the default value 0 and the
function is disabled such that the defined action in PB is always used. The
reverse action connection should not normally be used when the controller
is configured as symmetric.
The DX front panel will not show that the PB has been reversed by this
connection.

Via the GX Tool

Make a connection between the source point and the RA@ point of the
destination control module.

Via the SX Tool

Configure the software connection by entering the source address of the
selected reverse action logic variable at the RA@ Item (RI.16) location in
the defined PID modules.

Output Bias The Output Bias Connection or OB@ is an analog input to the control

Enable PID to P If a PID control module is in a high high or low low deviation alarm
condition, it will operate as a proportional-only control module when
Enable PID to P is set. The Enable PID to P change on deviation alarm
feature sets the integral term to zero when the process variable is far from
setpoint, and the controller will convert from a PI or PID controller to a
proportional only controller. This is done to prevent wind-up of the
integration term when the process variable is outside of the normal control
range.

RS1@, RS2@ the control module, in units of PV, which produces a bias in the respective
local setpoint. If the input is not connected, the controller will use the
default value 0.

(RI.12) and RV2@ (RI.19) in the defined DUAL PID module.

Proportional The proportional band is a number that defines the action and sensitivity of
Band the control module. A negative number defines a reverse acting control
module; an increase of the process variable produces a decrease in the
output signal. A positive number defines a direct acting control module; an
increase of the process variable produces an increase in the output signal.
The number itself is an analog input connection (PB@) or value
(PB1 or PB2) that is expressed in percent of the process variable range.
When the process variable is one of the eight analog inputs to the
DX-9100 Controller, the PV range is the range of the analog input.
Otherwise, the range defaults to 0-100 (including all XP analog inputs).
The connection is used for an application requiring a dynamic proportional
band and if this input is not connected, the controller will use the
proportional band value of PB1 or PB2.
The number itself defines the percentage of the process variable range
change that will produce a full output signal change. For example, if the
process variable has a control range of 0 to 100, a proportional band of 2%
indicates that a change of 2 in the process variable will cause the control
module output signal to change by 100%. If the process variable range is
0-40, a proportional band of 10% indicates that a change of 4 in the
process variable will cause the control module output signal to change by
100%.

Reverse Action The reverse action connection is a logic input to the control module, which
Connection RA@ changes the action of both controllers from direct to reverse or vice versa.
Extreme caution is advised when using this connection when setpoint
biases are also being used as the sign of the biases is not reversed. For
correct controller operation, WSP2 must always be greater than WSP1.

proportional only control module where the value of OBn determines the
output of the respective control module when the PV is equal to the WSP.

Enable Zero When this option is enabled, the changeover from one loop to another will
Output only take place when the output of the active loop is at its low limit. This
Changeover feature is used when the control loops have integral or derivative action
and the process variable can change very quickly. It prevents a loop
becoming inactive when its output is above the low limit value due to the
integral or derivative term.
When this option is not enabled, the output of the loop will go to its low
limit when the loop becomes inactive, and when the loop becomes active
again, the output will immediately return to the value at the time of the
previous changeover. This may cause unnecessary instability.
When a long integral time is configured, the effect of enabling this option
will be to slow down the changeover from heating to cooling or vice-versa
when the process variable changes rapidly. The changeover cannot occur
until the integral and derivative terms have decayed such that the output is
at the low limit value. This feature is available with x.3 controllers or later.

Algorithm 20 - The Totalization module provides an eight channel totalization algorithm.
Totalization Channels can be configured for Event, Integrator, or Time totalization. In
Firmware Version 1.1 or later, an Accumulated Total option is available.

Event Counter The Event Counter performs the counting of binary transitions from 0 to 1
of a logic source connected to the input of the channel. The number of
transitions is scaled to generate a numeric output of total transitions. The
output is incremented whenever the number of the transitions counted is
equal to the value set in the scaling factor field. The input connection to an
Event Counter must be a logic type.

Integrator The Integrator performs the integration of the value of an analog variable
connected to the input of the channel. The integration rate is determined by
the time constant (FTC) (in minutes) and the result read as a numeric
output. In other words, the Integrator will count up to the value of the
numerical input in a period of time equal to the time constant (assuming
that the input remains constant during this period). For example, if the
input is equal to 30 and the time constant is five minutes, the output will
count up to 30 in five minutes (at a rate of 0.1 per second), to 60 in
ten minutes, and so on, until it reaches the full scale limit.
To integrate kW into kWh, set the time constant to 60 minutes (one hour).
If the input is in gallons per minute, a time constant of one minute would
give a total in gallons. If the actual rate was, for example, 100 gallons per
minute, in one hour 6,000 gallons would be totalized, and in one day
144,000 gallons. Since the totalized output only displays to 9999, the time
constant could be used to slow down the totalization. By setting the time
constant to 1000, the totalization units would be gallons x 1000.
If the input is in liters per second, a time constant of 1/60 (=0.0167) is
required to totalize in liters, as one second equals 1/60 minutes. As
explained above, this may result in very high numbers very quickly, so it
could be slowed down by setting the time constant to 1000 x 0.0167
(=16.67) and totalizing in liters x 1000 (=cubic meters).
As the totalization module has a floating point output, resolution is lost beyond
a value of 2,047. (Refer to the Configuration Tools - Entering Values section
earlier in this document.) Therefore it is necessary to totalize integrated values
by using either a cascade of one Integrator and one or more Event Counters,
each with a full scale limit of 1,000 and using the Full Scale Limit flag (FSL)
to reset the counters in sequence, or by using the Accumulated Total option.
When this option is selected, the Accumulated Total for the channel will be
incremented whenever the output reaches its full scale limit, and the output
will automatically be reset. The Accumulated Total records the number of
times the Full Scale has been reached.
The input connection to an Integrator must be analog only.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 129

Time Counter The Time Counter function counts the time that the source point is in a 1
condition at a rate entered in the time constant (in seconds). The output is
the totalized time value. Typically the time constant would be set at
60 seconds for runtime in minutes or 3600 seconds for runtime in hours.
The Accumulated Total option may also be used for a Time Counter if a
total of greater than 2047 is required.

At the Full Scale Limit #n field, enter the required value. When the
output reaches this value, the output will hold there until reset, or, if the
Accumulated Total option is selected, the output will automatically be
reset to 0 and the accumulated total for this channel will be incremented.

Constant
At the Scale/Time Const #n field, enter the required value. For the
Integrator, the value is in minutes. For Event, it is the number of On/Off
transitions to count as one event. For Runtime, the value is in seconds;
60 would be runtime in minutes, 3600 would be runtime in hours.
Note: Changing values after counts are already there will alter the totals
accordingly. For example, if the Event scale was at 1 with
20 counts, and the Event scale was changed to 2, the counts
would equal 10.

Via SX Tool
The Scaling Factors/Time Constants are entered at Alg. Items FTCn (RI.34

At the Incrmnt ACC. #n (0=N) field, enter 1 or 0 (DX-9100
Total Function
Version 1.1 or later.) This is the Increment Accumulated Total function.
It is recommended that the Full Scale Limit should be set to 1,000, 100,
or 10. Setting Increment ACC to 1 will enable the counter to count the
number of times that the full scale limit is reached. The Accumulated
Total is a 4-byte integer and can store up to 9,999,999 counts
(32,767 when the Metasys option has been selected, under GLOBAL,
Counter Type field).

Via SX Tool
The Increment Accumulated Total function is defined by setting bit X8 in
Alg. Item FUNn (n=1-8) (RI.02 to RI.09) as follows:
X8 = 1 Increment ACTn and reset TOTn when FSSn = 1 (n=1-8)
(Version 1.1 or later)

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 131

 When bit X8 is set to 0 (default) and the output reaches the Full Scale
Limit FSLn, the algorithm function is frozen until reset. When bit X8 is set
to 1 and the output reaches the Full Scale Limit FSLn, the totalized output
is automatically reset to 0 and the Alg. Item ACTn (RI.73 to RI.80) is
incremented by one count.

Notes 1. You can read and modify the totalized values from the DX front
panel. See Display Panel and Keypads in the DX-9100 Extended

Algorithm 22 - A Sequencer Algorithm provides the control of one to eight logic outputs
Sequencer as a function of the value of an analog source variable or two logic source
variables (increase and decrease signals) and the state of eight logic
(disable) inputs.
A sequencer module may be chained to the next module in numerical
sequence to provide control of 16 logic outputs in 1 sequencer algorithm.
Each logic output represents one stage of the controlled load.
The logic outputs or stages can be grouped into sets, each set having a
definable number of stages.
The sequencer module is used to control multi-stage equipment,
maintaining minimum On/Off times, interstage delays, and sequencing
loads.
The sequencer can be interfaced to the PLC module and to other
programmable function modules that provide control, interlocking, and
alarm capability.

Configuring the Assumptions
Options
The following configuration examples are based on these assumptions:
• Stg #1 first of = 3
• LdFcfrStg#n = 33
• Load Differential [%] = 33
• Retroactive [0 = N] = 1]

Step Mode
The output stages are controlled in sequence according to the
last on, first off principle. For example, a three stage sequencer controls
the output stages in the following sequence: (0 = Off, 1 = On)

Table 4: Step Mode

Load Percent
0 33 66 100 66 33 0
Stage 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0
Stage 2 0 0 1 1 1 0 0
Stage 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0

Sequential Mode
The sets are controlled in sequence according to the first on, first off
principle. Stages within a set are controlled to the last on, first off principle
(like Step mode). For example, a three set sequencer controls the output
sets in the following sequence: (0 = Off, 1 = On)

Table 5: Sequential Mode

Load Percent
0 33 66 100 66 33 0
Set 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0
Set 2 0 0 1 1 1 0 0
Set 3 0 0 0 1 1 1 0

Equal Runtime
The On time of the first output stage of each set is totalized. In case of an
increase of load requiring the activation of a new set, the set with the
lowest On time will be switched on. In case of a decrease of load requiring
the switching off of a stage in a set at full load, the set with the highest
On time will be switched off first. Stages within a set are controlled to the
last on, first off principle (Step mode). For example, a three set sequencer
controls the output sets in the following sequence: (0 = Off, 1 = On).

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 137

 Table 6: Runtime
Increasing Load (Percent) Decreasing Load (Percent)
Runtime 0 33 66 100 Runtime 100 66 33 0
Set 1 90 hours 0 0 0 1 95 hours 1 1 1 0
Set 2 40 hours 0 1 1 1 110 hours 1 0 0 0
Set 3 65 hours 0 0 1 1 99 hours 1 1 0 0

As the load increases, the set with a runtime of 40 hours starts first. As the
load decreases, the set with a runtime of 110 hours stops first.

Binary Code
The output stages must form one set and are controlled in sequence
according to a binary code principle. For example, a three stage sequencer
controls the output stages in the following sequence:

Table 7: Binary Code

Stage 0 kW 1 kW 2 kW 3 kW 4 kW 5 kW 6 kW 7 kW
1 (1 kW) 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
2 (2 kW) 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
3 (4 kW) 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
As load % increases ------------------------------>

Notes: The Binary Code mode is intended for use only with electric
heaters or other nonmechanical devices.
The binary code sequencer will always select the appropriate stage
combination for the requested output, with a stage delay between
the changing of a stage combination. The sequencer will not step
through successive combinations when a large change in requested
output occurs.
When the Binary Code mode is selected, the algorithm will
automatically assign load factors that will summate to 100%, and
the differential will be set to 20% of the minimum (first stage) load
factor with a maximum of 3% of the total load.

Analog Input The analog control input determines the required output in percent of the
Connection total output, and would normally be the output of a PID module. The
percent load factor for each output stage and the differential must be

Alg. Item FLR (RI.44).

Sequencer The sequencer control is either proactive or retroactive.

Control
Proactive
The first stage selected by the sequencer is always On unless the Fast Step
Down input is active. The second stage is switched On when the first stage
is at its load factor, the third stage when the second stage is at its load
factor, and so on. This mode is normally required for equipment with its
own modulating control, for example, centrifugal refrigeration
compressors.

Configuring the This setting configures the number of stages in each set. For example,
Sets and Stages when the first set contains three stages, NST1 (Stg 1 first of ) is defined
as 3, and NST2 (Stg 2 first of ) and NST3 (Stg 3 first of ) are defined as 0.
A second set is then defined by NST4 (Stg 4 first of) with the required
stages for that set, and the following Alg. Items NSTn in numerical
sequence are defined as 0, and so on, until all required stages are defined.
A binary code sequence will only operate on the first set as defined by
NST1.In Version 1.1 or later; an option is available to reverse the action of
all stages within sets, except the first stages. When this option is enabled,
all stages within a set are switched on when the first stage of a set is
switched on, and then the second and subsequent stages are switched off
as the load increases. As the load decreases, stages are switched on again.
A set cannot be switched off until all its stages are on. This option is
applicable to chiller compressor control where the stages are connected to
unloader solenoids.

Via the GX Tool

Select the sequencer module and then Data to call up the Data Window.
At the Stg #n first of field, enter a value to determine the number of
stages in the set. If there are no sets, enter 1 at each Stg #n first of field for
the number of individual stages needed. At the Invert Stgs in set field on
page 2, enter 1 to reverse the action of stages in sets.
For a binary sequencer module, select the binary sequencer module, and
then Data to call up the Data Window. At the Number of Stages field,
enter the number of outputs to be controlled as one binary coded set.

Via the SX Tool

Enter the appropriate values at Alg. Item NSTn (n = 1-8) (RI.02 to RI.09).
The reverse stages in sets option is defined in bit X6 of PM Item
PMnOPT as follows:
X6 =0 Direct Stages in Sets All stages are switched On for
increasing load.
X6 =1 Invert Stages in Sets Stages within a set are switched On
when the set is On and switched Off
for increasing load.

142 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

Configuring the This setting configures the disable condition connections for the
Disable sequencer. When a stage is disabled by its connection being equal to 1, the
Conditions sequencer will immediately switch off the stage and automatically select
the next available stage according to the Sequencer mode defined. When
any stage of a set is disabled, the complete set is considered as disabled
and all stages are immediately switched off, and the sequencer will
automatically select the next available set. Therefore, only the first stage
needs to be disabled in order to disable all stages within a set. A disabled
condition in a Binary Code sequencer will disable the sequencer operation.
If a stage (or set) is disabled, the sequencer will use the load factors
assigned to the enabled stages to run the sequencer.

Via the GX Tool

Make connections between the logic source points and the DISn@ disable
points in the sequencer module. In the binary sequencer module make a
connection between the logic source point and the DIS@ disable point.

Via the SX Tool

To disable an output stage, enter the address of a logic variable at
Alg. Item DISn@ (n = 1-8) (RI.10 to RI.17).

Configuring the The load factor of each stage is entered as a percentage of the maximum
Load Factors load required from all stages controlled by the sequencer module. The sum
and Differential of the load factors of the stages may be greater than 100% if the controlled
plant has standby capacity. For example, if a plant comprises five units
where the maximum required load is provided by four units, and one unit
acts as a standby, the load factor of each unit (stage) is set at 25%. If the
units are not of equal capacity, the appropriate load factors (as a
percentage of the maximum required load) may be entered and the
algorithm will always switch the appropriate number of units available
(i.e., those which are not disabled and have not exceeded their maximum
switching cycles limit) to meet the required load.
The load differential must normally be less than the minimum load factor
entered for any stage. If the load differential is greater than the load factor
of the first stage in a set, that set may not switch off at 0% load in
Retroactive Control mode, and more than one stage may remain on at 0%
load in Proactive Control mode. This can be avoided in Step mode by
setting the load factor of the first stage at a higher value than the load
differential, because in Step mode the first stage is always the last to be
switched off in the sequence. (In other modes, any stage or set could be the
last to be switched off because the algorithm changes the order of
operation.)

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 143

 When the binary code option is selected, the algorithm will automatically
assign load factors, which will summate to 100%, and the differential will
be set to 20% of the minimum (first stage) load factor with a maximum of
3% of the total load.

Via the GX Tool

is set in Alg. Item LDF (RI.45).

Configuring the A series of delay times have to be defined to control the sequencing steps.
Timers A set or stage cannot be switched until the delay time of the previous set or
stage has expired.
Note: The sequencer module will only switch one set or stage during
each program cycle, which occurs every second. Therefore, the
minimum effective time delay between sets or stages is one second.
Time values of less than one second will result in a delay time of
one second.

Via the GX Tool

Select the sequencer module and then Data to call up the Data Window.
Go to page 2. Set the following values (in seconds):
First set on delay: Delay between the first and second stages of the first
set, or delay between the first and second set if the
first set has only one stage.
Stage on delay: Delay between stages, and delay between the last stage
of one set and the first stage of the next set.
Set on delay: Delay between stage one and stage two of a set other
than the first set, or delay between sets other than the
first set if the sets have only one stage.
Stage off delay: Off delay between stages.

144 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

set and the first stage to be switched off the next set, or
off delay between sets if the sets only have one stage.
At the Minimum On Time (sec) field, enter a value . It defines the time in
seconds that a stage must be On before it may be switched Off.
At the Minimum Off Time (sec) field, enter a value. It defines the time in
seconds that a stage must be Off before it may be switched On.
If the Minimum On Time and Minimum Off Time are only applied to the
first stages in each set, then at the Min On/Off for set field, enter a 1.
For a BIN SEQ, select DATA and set Interstage Delay (in seconds).

T1 First Set On Delay [sec.] (RI.34)
T2 Stage On Delay [sec.] (RI.35)
T3 Set On Delay [sec.] (RI.36)
T4 Stage Off Delay [sec.] (RI.37)
T5 Set Off Delay [sec.] (RI.38)
The Minimum On Time for a stage or set is defined by Alg. Item TON
(RI.41). It defines the time in seconds that a stage must be On before it
may be switched Off.
The Minimum Off Time for a stage or set is defined by Alg. Item TOFF
(RI.42). It defines the time in seconds that a stage must be Off before it
may be switched On.
If bit X7 of PM Type PMnOPT (RI.01) is set to 1, the Items TON and
TOFF will only be applied to the first stage in a set and not to the other
stages in the same set (if any).
A Binary Code sequencer does not use the Minimum On and Off time
parameter.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 145

Configuring The sequencer algorithm controls the starting of the first stage in each set
Maximum such that the number of starts in one hour does not exceed the defined
Switching Maximum Switching Cycles value (MAXC). The algorithm does this by
Cycles calculating the minimum time between start commands using the formula:
3600 sec./MAXC. The first stage in a set is effectively locked out and
prevented from restarting within this period of time. This time is typically
longer than the Minimum Off Time.
When operating in Step or Sequential mode, the sequencer will wait for a
set to become available again after a previous start command. In
Equal Runtime mode, a set that is unavailable will be skipped and the set
with the next lowest runtime will be selected.
In a Binary Code sequencer, the MAXC parameter is not used.

Via the GX Tool

Select the sequencer module and then Data to call up the Data Window.
At the Max Switch Cycl/hr field, enter a value for cycles per hour. For
example, if equal to 6, a stage will only be allowed one start every
ten minutes.

Via the SX Tool

The maximum number of switching cycles allowed for the first stage of
each set in one hour is defined by Alg. Item MAXC (RI.43).

Configuring Fast A digital input connection will initiate a Fast Step Down cycle of the
Step Down sequencer. The Fast Step Down cycle is controlled by a Fast Step Down
Stage Delay and a Fast Step Down Set Delay. The Fast Step Down cycle
does not respect the Minimum On Time parameter. Once the procedure is
activated, it cannot be interrupted until the switching-off sequence is
completed and all stages are off. The Fast Step Down connection is also
used to switch off the final proactive load in the sequence when the plant
is shut down.

Via the GX Tool

Make a connection between the Fast Step Down logic source point and
the FST@ input in the sequencer or binary sequencer module. Select the
module and then Data to call up the Data Window. Enter values
(in seconds) for the following fields:
Fast Step Dwn (Stg): Off delay between stages.
Fast Step Dwn (Set): Off delay between the last stage to be switched off
of one set and the first stage to be switched off of
the next set, or off delay between sets if the sets
only have one stage.

Bit X1 of Item TSnOPT (RI.00) defines the output type. It should be set to
0 for logic output type, which is the only available output type in the
current versions of firmware. (This setting is available only through the
SX Tool.)

Overriding the Three logic inputs can override the normal function of the time schedule
Time Schedule module:
• The External Extension Connection defines a logic variable which, if
On at a programmed stop time of the module, extends the On period
for a programmed extension time. (The extension can also be set from
the DX front panel or by a BAS when the module output is On.
See the following Notes section.)

158 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

 • The On Forcing Connection forces the output to On, if the connection
equals 1.
• The Off Forcing Connection forces the output to Off if the connection
equals 1.
• The logic forcing inputs are executed according to following priority:
forcing to Off, forcing to On, and extension.

Via the GX Tool

Select the time schedule module and then Data to call up the Data
Window.
Make connections between External Forcing On source points and
TSnON@ inputs. Similar connections for Off Forcing TSnOF@ and for

Set the connections via the following Items:
• The External Extension Connection Item = TSnEX@ (RI.01).
• The On Forcing Connection Item = TSnON@ (RI.02).
• The Off Forcing Connection Item = TSnOF@ (RI.03).
The value in Item TSnXTM, (RI.04) defines the extension time
(0-255minutes).

Notes 1. The time, date, year, extension time, daylight saving dates, time
schedule output, and start/stop event days and times can be read and
modified using the DX front panel. See Display Panel and Keypads in
the DX-9100 Extended Digital Controller Technical Bulletin
(LIT-6364020) in FAN 636.4 or 1628.4.
2. The extension can be set from the DX front panel. See Display Panel
and Keypads in the DX-9100 Extended Digital Controller Technical
Bulletin in FAN 636.4 or 1628.4.
3. On the SX Tool, the value in Item TSnTIM (RI.05) indicates the time
in minutes to the next change of the logic output TSnOUT. This
output will be active when a change of output within the current or
next day is scheduled.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 159

 4. The bit values in Item TSnSTA (RI.06) indicate on the SX Tool the
time schedule status as follows:
X1=1 TSnHLD Time schedule module is in Hold mode. The
output of the module (TSnOUT) can be modified
in the Hold mode.
X2 TSnOUT Output status and control is the output of the time
schedule module, and can be used as logic input to
any of the programmable or output modules.
X3=1 TSn EXT Extension command is set by an extension ??
override command from the DX front panel or
BAS. This command toggles the extension status
(TSnEXS) on and off.
X4 TSnNXO Indicates the next scheduled output of the time
schedule module (0 or 1).
X5= 1TSnEXS Indicates an active extension from the DX front
panel or BAS.
X6=1 TSnXDI Indicates an active extension from a logical (digital)
input (via the External Extension Connection).
X7=1 TSnON Indicates a forced On status.
X8=1 TSnOFF Indicates a forced Off status.
Status Items can be used as logic (digital) connections using the
GX Tool or SX Tool.
5. When an extension is set from the DX front panel or by a BAS,
the extension status (TSnEXS) of the module is true (bit X5 = 1).
An extension via the DX front panel or BAS is automatically reset
when the extension period ends.
6. When an extension is set by the External Extension Connection, the
extension status TSnXDI of the module is true (Bit X6 = 1) when the
output status (TSnOUT) is true, and remains true until the end of the
extension period.
7. When making a connection from a time schedule module to an
optimal start/stop module, the Items TSnOUT, TSnNXO, and
TSnTIM must be connected via the SX Tool. If using the GX Tool,
when TSnOUT is connected, the TSnNXO and TSnTIM are
connected internally.
8. When a start or stop time of an event in a time schedule module is
changed, the time schedule module will take up to one minute to
update its output.
9. Time schedules may be uploaded, modified, and downloaded at the
Operator Workstation (OWS). Refer to the Scheduling Technical
Bulletin (LIT-636116) in FAN 636.

Optimal Two optimal start/stop modules each calculate the minimum time needed
Start/Stop to bring a controlled zone temperature to a desired condition at occupancy
Configuration time under heating and/or cooling conditions. The modules also calculate
the optimal stop time to maintain the desired conditions up to the end of
the occupancy time.
When an optimal start/stop module is configured for heating and cooling,
the module assumes a:
• Heating mode for startup if the zone temperature is below setpoint
• Cooling mode for startup if the zone temperature is above setpoint
• Heating mode for shutdown if the outdoor temperature is below the
zone on setpoint
• Cooling mode if the outdoor temperature is above the zone on
setpoint

The OSnOPT (RI.00) defines the operating mode of the optimal start/stop
module by setting bit X1 and X2 as follows:
X2X1 = 00 Not used
X2X1 = 01 Heating mode (heating plant only)
X2X1 = 10 Cooling mode (cooling plant only)
X2X1 = 11 Heating and Cooling mode (plant heats and cools)
The status of the mode can be seen at Item OSnSTA, bit X3, (OSn HEAT)
where 0 = Cooling and 1 = Heating.

Optimal Start The adaptive process monitors how quickly the temperature reaches the
Adaptive halfway point between the setpoint and actual temperature:
Process
• If it takes less than the calculated warmup time based on the building
factor, then the building factor will be decreased so that the next
calculation will result in a shorter warmup time, all other factors being
equal.
• If it takes more than the calculated warmup time based on the building
factor, then the building factor will be increased so that the next
calculation will result in a longer warmup time, all other factors being
equal.
The adaptive process calculation only takes place when the Optimal Start
module actually starts the plant.

Logic Control
Configuration

Introduction The DX-9100 operating system provides a software-implemented

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Every second the PLC module
executes a user-defined program, which operates on a 2,048-bit memory
area containing an image of the hardware digital input/outputs, logic
variables from function modules, and digital constants. In the memory area
each input, output, and logic variable has its own, pre-allocated address.
Variables in the memory area are frozen before the execution of the
program in the PLC module, and the resulting changes in the logic
variables are transferred out of the memory area to the appropriate
hardware or function modules at the end of the module execution.

Figure 31: Programmable Logic Control

PLC User- A user-defined program is a sequence of instruction blocks, which

Defined Program contains logic instructions, each leading to a PLC result status. An
instruction block always begins with a LOAD or LOAD NOT (like an
IF or IF NOT) logic instruction, which initializes the PLC result status,
and normally terminates with an instruction performing an output to the
memory area using the final result status (THEN).
LOAD and LOAD NOT instructions may also be used within an
instruction block to create a logic sub block.
In the GX-9100 Graphic Programming Software, the instructions are laid
out in eight pages of ladder diagrams, each containing eight lines of up to
eight instructions, graphically depicted as shown below.
The following instructions are available: (1 = On, 0 = Off).

174 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

Instruction LOAD
This instruction begins the operation of an instruction block; the value of
the addressed variable (0 or 1) is placed in the result status. This
instruction also begins the operation of an ANDB or ORB sub block and
saves the current value of the result status; the value of the addressed
variable is placed in the sub block result status. (Think of LOAD as an
IF statement.) In the figure below, the logic variable DI1 (Digital Input 1)
is shown.

Instruction COS
This logic instruction is intended to detect a positive change in the value of
the result status obtained from the preceding logic instructions in the
instruction block. The result status calculated in the actual execution cycle
is compared with the result status obtained in the previous cycle and
retained in the memory location addressed in the COS instruction. If the
result status has changed from a value of 0 to 1 in the actual execution
cycle, the result status is set to 1; otherwise, it is set to 0.
Conditional instructions following a COS instruction will be executed only
once after a change-of-state in the preceding logic expression. The
instruction below detects a positive change of status.

Notes 1. The PLC program can be generated using the GX-9100 Tool. The
program is laid out in the format of a Ladder Diagram and the graphic
software automatically generates the program code for the PLC
module. This ladder cannot be read from the DX front panel.
2. The use of the instruction codes and logic variable memory addresses
is only required for the programming with the SX Tool.
3. On power up, the PLC is executed before the programmable modules.
For more detailed information, refer to Power Up Conditions -
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), further in this guide.
4. A series of ANDNOT statements followed by an OUTNOT statement
is logically equivalent to a series of OR statements followed by an
OUT statement. In the GX Tool, the use of ANDNOT statements in
one line will more efficiently use the space available in the ladder logic
diagram.

Dial-up Feature IMPORTANT: Before the DX-9100 Controller can be used for dial-in
with an NDM alarm reporting, it must have Version 1.2, 2.1, or later
firmware, and the program must be generated using the
GX-9100 software program. The dial-up feature is not
available with Version 3, the DX-912x LONWORKS
controller.
There is no special programming or firmware required to
allow the DX-9100 Controller to be used in a dial-out
application where the operator is initiating the command
to dial.

The DX-9100 Controller does not support COS reporting and therefore
does not cause the NDM to automatically dial in. A bit, called the DIAL
bit, was added to the DX-9100 with Version 1.2 or 2.1 firmware. The
NDM monitors this bit to determine if an alarm condition has occurred.
Once the DIAL bit is set, the NDM initiates its dial-in sequence. Special
programming, similar to that shown in this application, is required to set
this DIAL bit. The DIAL bit is reset by the BAS once the NDM makes a
connection, and the DX-9100 Controller comes online.
The DX-9100 Controller can be used for a dial-in N2 application if the
following tasks are performed:
1. Determine which points in the DX-9100 Controller (hardware or
software) need to initiate the dial command sequence.
2. Program the DX-9100 such that the points chosen in Step 1 properly set
the DIAL bit from within the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
3. Program the NDM as specified in the NDM Configurator Application
Note (LIT-6364090) in FAN 636.4 or 1628.4.
For DX controllers, Versions 1.4, 2.3, and later, the dial-up feature is also
used to allow the Metasys supervisory system to read trend log data for its
Point History feature. The logic variable HTRR (Historical Trend Read
Request) indicates when the buffers are full and must be included in the
logic diagram if the trend data is required for Metasys Point History. Refer
also to the section Trend Log further in this document.

Choosing the Because the DIAL bit is set from within the PLC, any digital point, such as
Points a binary input or possibly an analog input’s alarm status, is a valid choice.
It is up to the programmer to decide which of these points, when added to
the PLC, must cause the NDM to dial in and report the alarm condition. It
is crucial that the points that set the DIAL bit within the PLC also exist as
alarm reporting points in the BAS.
The following section shows the configuration needed to add the points to
the PLC to set the DIAL bit.

188 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

Configuring the This application requires a dial-in to occur if either sensors, AI1 or AI3, go
Program into a high alarm or return to normal state. In addition, a dial-in is also
required if either digital input, DI1 or DI2, go into an alarm, or if the trend
log buffer is full.
To do this, open a page in the PLC and enter a logic block that ORBs all
the alarm points together and then SETs the DIAL bit as a result. For the
return to normal alarms, it is necessary to add a LOAD NOT of the alarm
condition.
The following diagram is an example of how this configuration appears in
the PLC:

 The COS block is needed to prevent an alarm point from retriggering the
DIAL bit by having a true output for only one pass of the PLC after it
detects a transition from low to high. This requires the alarm point to
return to normal before that COS outputs again.
When an alarm occurs, the DIAL bit is set. The remote NDM then detects
the reset, causing it to dial in to the local NDM. Once communication is
established, the BAS resets the dial bit.
Notes: To create the above logic, you must use an ORB rather than an OR
statement. If an OR statement is used, you will not be able to AND
the COS block with the alarm point.
The HTRR variable does not require a COS element as the
Metasys system will always reset HTRR when a connection is
made.

Variations Note that the previous example requires a line of PLC for each condition
that requires a dial-in to occur. In order to conserve space in the PLC, it is
possible to generate the alarms utilizing a timer. The purpose of the timer
is to generate a pulse when the alarm is first detected, just as the COS
block did in the previous example. The timer outputs (which indicate that
an alarm has occurred) can then be used in the PLC to set the DIAL bit.
To do this, add the conditions that require a dial-in as the inputs to the
timer. Define the timer as a pulse type timer with a time of 2 seconds,
which gives the PLC time to detect the pulse. Use the timer outputs in the
PLC to generate a pulse to an LRS. This same LRS is then used to set the
DIAL bit.
This method conserves space in the PLC by performing the OR statement
of up to seven alarm conditions on one line. This is done with reverse
logic by ANDing a series of LOAD NOTs instead of ORing a series of
LOADs.
This method is shown in the following two diagrams. Figure 53 shows
how to configure the timers, Figure 54 shows how to use these timers with
reverse logic in the PLC.

 Notes: If more than seven alarms are required, another line in the PLC
could be added which would command an additional LRS. This
LRS would then be used in conjunction with the first LRS to set
the DIAL bit.
The HTRR bit is only available in the PLC module (under
Diagnostic) and cannot be used as a source to a Timer module.

Trend Log Dial When set to 1 by a set statement in the PLC, this causes the N2
(Versions 1.4, Dialer to connect the N2 Bus to a BAS via telephone lines. The
2.3, 3.3, or Dial bit will be reset to 0 by the BAS when the telephone line
Later) connection is successful.

Point History The Trend Log module provides 12 trend log channels, each recording
(Versions 1.4, data from either 1 analog Item or from a set of 8 logic variables (logic
2.3, or Later) variable byte). The trend can be used to provide data for Point History in
DX controllers that are remote from the BAS or for a local DX LCD
Display. Trend data cannot be displayed on the integral DX controller
display panel, or on the GX or SX Tools.

Trend Log for When the DX controller is connected to a BAS by an NDM Dialer and
DX LCD Display telephone lines, the trend data may be read whenever a connection is made
(Versions 2.3, by the BAS. The data is stored in the point history file of AI, AOs, and BI
3.3, or Later) objects when they are mapped to the Items being recorded. When the Point
History option is selected for a trend log channel, only those Items that can
be mapped to objects are allowed and the trend parameters are set by the
GX Tool to recommended default values for the Point History feature.
You may change these default values, but you must take into consideration
the maximum number of values that Point History can display and the
frequency of the connections to the BAS via dial-up. You must link the
Historical Trend Read Request logic variable to the DIAL request logic
variable in a PLC module to initiate a connection when a trend record
buffer is full. As a DX Version 3.x cannot be connected to a BAS by the
NDM Dialer and telephone lines, trend logs cannot be configured for Point
History in these versions.

Trend channels that are not used for Point History are freely configurable.
For analog Items, the sampling rate may be entered and the stored values
may be either the average, maximum, or minimum values during the
sampling period, or the instantaneous value at the time of recording. Logic
variables are recorded with a time and date stamp when there is a change
of value. All channels may be displayed on the DX LCD Display.

192 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

 Note: When selecting a logic variable, choose the byte that contains the
required variable. All variables in the set will be then available for
Point History or for the DX LCD Display. Since a logic variable
set is recorded when any one of its variables changes state, you are
recommended to assign LRS logic variable bytes to trend log and
to connect the source variables (the ones that you wish to trend) to
the LRS variables in a PLC module.
A channel of the trend log is defined by the following parameters:

Supervisory Versions 1 and 2 of the DX-9100 Controller may be connected to a BAS
Mode Control using the RS-485 serial link (N2 Bus or Bus 91). The Version 3 Controller
Settings (DX-912x-8454) is connected to the NCM-350 via the LONWORKS
(General N2 Bus. Supervisory mode control operates in the same way in all
Module) three versions.

Access to the For control access, the BAS must first set a BAS Active bit. To keep
Controller control access, the BAS must refresh that bit at a minimum of every
120 minutes. If the BAS fails or loses communication with the controller,
and the bit is not refreshed, the controller returns automatically to its
Standalone mode of operation.
When the BAS bit is active, the BAS has access to the supervisory
parameters of the controller. It can also change numerical and logic values
by addressing the respective Items in the Item list. Items stored in
EEPROM may only be written to on an occasional basis (maximum of
once a day).
The functions specifically related to the BAS control are as follows:
• Set a programmable function module, output module, extension
module, or time schedule module to Hold mode.
• Set the Shutoff mode.
• Set the Startup mode.
• Set a control module to Computer mode.
• Enable supervisory control of digital outputs (triacs).
• Set digital outputs (triacs) to On or Off.
Within a control module (PID or On/Off), the output may be overridden by
BAS control with the following priorities:
1. Hold mode
2. Shutoff mode (when enabled)
3. Startup mode (when enabled)
4. Computer mode

Via the BAS

The BAS Active bit is automatically set by BAS when connected online.

As the GX Tool has no BAS functions, it is not necessary to set the BAS
Active bit from the GX Tool.

Via the SX Tool

Set the supervisory bit at bit X16 of Item SUP (RI.01) (General Module).

Startup Mode The Startup mode can operate properly only if a PID or On/Off Controller
is configured in Programmable Function Module 1.
To allow the Startup mode to be active in a particular module the Enable
Startup mode must be set to 1.
This mode is activated and de-activated by a BAS. It is also de-activated
after 120 minutes when the communication with the BAS fails.
For PID algorithms, the output will be set to a level between 0 and 100%,
overriding the output limits of the control module.
For On/Off algorithms, the output will be set to a level of 0 or 1.
The Startup mode will remain active as long as the controller configured in
the Programmable Function Module 1 has an absolute deviation greater
than 5% of the PV range. A lower deviation will clear the startup
command throughout all enabled modules.

Via the BAS

Configure using the reference STUP.

For PID algorithms, the output will be set to a level between 0 and 100%,
overriding the output limits of the control module. For On/Off algorithms,
the output will be set to a level of 0 or 1.
To allow the Shutoff mode to be active in a particular module, the Enable
Shutoff mode must be set to 1.
In PID algorithms, if Enable OFF Trans is set at 1 the Shutoff mode is
changed to the Off mode if PV < WSP (Off mode) in a heating controller
(PB is negative), and if PV > WSP (Off mode) in a cooling controller
(PB is positive).
In Shutoff mode, the control module will assume a configured output value of
between 0 and 100%, overriding the output limits of the control module.

Hold Mode Each programmable function module, output module, time schedule
module, or extension module can be commanded to operate in Hold mode
by the BAS. It will remain active until the hold command is changed. Hold
mode is not interrupted when the serial communication link fails.
Overriding from the DX front panel (using the <A/M> key), also puts
certain output and programmable modules in Hold mode.
In Hold mode, the output of the module is not updated by the Control
algorithm and can be directly controlled by the BAS.
Refer also to Power Up Conditions - Hold Mode.

For extension module outputs, the control of Hold mode is available under
XT Modules at Item XTnHDC (RI.69) bits X1-X8 (OUH1-8).

Computer Mode Each PID or On/Off controller can be commanded to operate in Computer
mode by a BAS. It will remain active until the BAS changes the mode, or
communication is lost for 120 minutes. In DX-9100 Version 1.1 or later,
the Computer mode will be inactive during any period of serial link
communication failure. See Serial Link Monitoring further in this
document. The calculation of the WSP of a controller in Computer mode
is no longer performed by the controller and the BAS must set the value of
WSP. It is not possible to change the WSP from the DX front panel when
Computer mode is active.
In the DX-9100 controllers, Versions 1 and 2 (firmware Version 1.1 or
later), the Computer mode will also be inactive during any period of serial
link communication failure. This does not apply to the DX-912x
Controller, Version 3. See Serial Link Monitoring further in this
document.

Controlling The BAS can control the status of the digital outputs to On or Off by
Digital Outputs directly overriding the triacs.

Via the GX Tool

The override of digital outputs cannot be controlled directly by the
GX Tool.
Note: BAS commands to digital outputs do not pass through the Digital

For On/Off type digital outputs, it is possible to display the true status of
the digital output when under BAS override control by connecting the
status of the digital output hardware (triac) to the source connection of the
digital output module via PLC logic (see Figure 56). When the digital
output override is enabled by the BAS, the output module is controlled by

Counter Size Four bytes have been allocated for counter data in the controller and a
value of up to 9,999,999 can be displayed on the front panel of the
controller. Certain BASs (Metasys system, for example) only read the least
significant 15 bits and provide extensive facilities to store counter data in
computer memory, on diskette, or tape. To enable the synchronization of
the DX-9100 display panel with BASs, the reset of counter values can be
configured as follows:

Via the GX Tool

Select Edit-Global Data. Under Counter Type, mark the 15-bit
(Metasys system) or 4-byte field.

Via the SX Tool

Under General Module, Item DXS1 (RI.32), set bit X4 as follows:
X4 = 0 Select 15-bit counters (Counter resets at 32,767)
X4 = 1 Select 4-byte counters (Counter resets at 9,999,999)

Serial Link There are two logic variables available in the Version 1 or 2 controller,
Monitoring which indicate the status of the BAS and the serial link. They may be used
in the PLC to enable standalone control sequencers or local time
schedules, for example. Only the logic variable SSA is available in the
Version 3 controller.
The logic variable SSA (BAS Active) is set by the BAS to enable the
supervisory functions of the controller. This logic variable must be set by
the BAS at least every two hours as the controller will automatically reset
the bit two hours after the last update. The SSA bit indicates that the BAS
has been active within the last two hours, or that the BAS has not been
active for a period of more than two hours. When the SSA bit is not set,
the following BAS control modes are automatically cancelled:
Shutoff mode Computer mode
Startup mode Digital Outputs Enable and Command
The logic variable SLF (Serial Link Failure) (not available in the Version 3
controller) indicates the status of the serial link independently of any BAS
functions. In a Version 1 or 2 DX-9100, the bit is reset when the N2 Bus
serial link communications are good, and set when the N2 Bus serial link
communications have been absent or unreadable for a period of more than
one minute.
In a DX-912x (Firmware Version 3), the SLF bit is not used and is always
reset. When the SLF bit is set, the following BAS Control mode is not
active:

Programmable At power up, the PLC always runs from the first instruction in the
Logic Controller program. Special power up routines should therefore be configured at the
(PLC) beginning of the program. These routines will not be executed in
subsequent program cycles when the address of the first non-power up
instruction is entered in the END instruction. In the GX-9100 Tool, the
location of the first non-power up instruction is marked by the RSR
element in the ladder diagram.
Power up routines may be used, for example, to set or reset Hold modes
based upon prevailing conditions at the time of power up, to set timers to
provide a sequential startup of equipment, or to prevent the startup of
equipment until building conditions have stabilized after the return of
power. Refer to the Programmable Logic Control Configuration section of
this document, as well as to the Programmable Logic Control section in

Calibration Each DX-9100 Controller has a set of unique calibration values, which are
Values set in the factory before delivery. These calibration values are stored in
EEPROM and it will not normally be necessary to change or reenter these
values during the life of the controller. If the user wishes to secure the
calibration data on diskette, the calibration values may be uploaded and
downloaded using the GX Tool.
If it becomes necessary to recalibrate the inputs and outputs of a controller,
this can be done using the SX Tool. See the SX-9100 Service Module
User’s Guide (LIT-6364070) in FAN 636.4.

 Appendix A: SX Tool Item
Description and Tables

Description of
Items
Item Address A configuration is comprised of a set of parameters stored in a series of
memory locations in the controller. These parameters are called Items.
Each Item is assigned an Item address.
Active parameters such as counter values are stored in RAM, and
configuration parameters are stored in EEPROM. Data stored in EEPROM
type memory is retained even when no battery power is available.
A memory area with a certain range of Item addresses for its parameters or
Items has been assigned to each module.
Each Item within this range has been assigned a Relative Item (RI.)
address from which its absolute address can be determined.
The absolute address of an Item is the sum of the starting address of the
module range and the relative Item address. When using the GX Tool for
the DX-9100, the user refers to module tags and numbers, and Item tags or
relative addresses. Absolute addresses are not normally required.
Note: When using the GX Tool for the DX-9100, the user refers only to
module and Item tags. Absolute and relative addresses are used in
the SX Tool.

Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide 211

Item Type The information stored in the Items can have one of several formats:
Floating Point Numerical Items are real numbers, with a +/- sign. They
refer to input or output values, setpoint values, proportional band values,
limit values, etc. They are displayed and entered as numbers, with a sign
and a decimal point. These Items are shown in the Item List with Number
in the Type column.
Integer Items are positive whole numbers used as scale factors. These
Items are shown in the All Item List with 1 Byte Int or 2 Byte Int in the
Type column.
Totalized Numerical Items are real positive numbers. They refer to
totalized values such as pulse counters and accumulators. They are
displayed and entered as whole numbers, without sign and decimal point.
These Items are shown in the Item List with 4 Bytes in the Type column.
Software Connections show to which Item or logic variable address the
Item is connected. This information is entered as numbers representing the
address of the connected Item or the index and bit position of a logic
variable. A 0 de-selects the connection. These Items are shown in the
Item List with Connection in the Type column.
Destinations are 2-byte Items, which show the destination address and type
of network analog and digital outputs. A 0 represents no destination. These
Items are shown in the Item List with Destination in the Type column.
Status Items are either 1-byte or 2-byte Items giving information on the
actual status or configuration of the modules (Control, Logic, Calculation,
Input, or Output), where each bit has a specific meaning as described in
the Item List. These Items are shown in the Item List with the number of
bytes in the Type column. Data is displayed and entered as bytes. In the
list, the bytes are represented using X1-X8 or X1-X16:
1 Byte = X8 X7 X6 X5 X4 X3 X2 X1
2 Bytes = X16 X15 X14 X13 X12 X11 X10 X9
X8 X7 X6 X5 X4 X3 X2 X1

212 Configuration Guides—DX-9100 Configuration Guide

Read/Write Data The Items shown in the Item List can be divided into three basic
categories:
• Input values and status of the controller that can be read but not
changed by a BAS. These Items are shown in the Item List with an R
in the R/W (Read/Write) column.
• Variables in the controller that can be read and modified by the
SX-9100 Service Module, GX-9100 Graphic Configuration Software,
or BAS. These Items are shown on the Item List with an R/W in the
R/W (Read/Write) column. (E) indicates that the Item is stored in
EEPROM.
• All other Items in the DX-9100 refer to configuration parameters of
the controller and contain information such as analog ranges, module
type, connections, etc., and they can only be changed using the
SX-9120 Service Module or the GX-9100 Graphic Configuration
Software Tool. These Items are shown in the Item List with a CNF in
the R/W (Read/Write) column.

Item List Each constant, variable, or value inside a DX-9100 Controller can be
addressed through an Item code; the Item List describes all the possible
Items.

Numbers format:

Table 30: Floating Point Numbers

15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
E3 E2 E1 E0 S M10 M9 M8 M7 M6 M5 M4 M3 M2 M1 M0

where: EEEE = 4-bit exponent

S = sign (1=negative)
MMMMMMMMMMM = 11-bit mantissa

• A number is normalized when the most significant bit is true

(M10 = 1).
• A number is zero when all bits of the mantissa are 0.
• The value of a number is:
<NUMBER> = <SIGN> * .<MANTISSA> * 2 exp <EXPONENT>

Table 31: Floating Point Number Examples

1 = 1400H or B001H
-1 = 1C00H or B801H
100 = 7640H or B064H

EEPROM Items When writing Items from a BAS, it is important to note that EEPROM
Items can only be written approximately 10,000 times, so that cyclical
processes in the BAS that result in a write command must be avoided.

 Appendix D: Logic Variables

Description of The DX-9100 contains logic variables, representing the individual bits in
Logic Variables status Items. They are listed for use as logical status connections and PLC
parameters in the configuration of the DX-9100. Logic variables are
referred to by a byte address with a label (corresponding to the label of the
equivalent Status Item in the Item List), and a bit position. When using the
GX Tool for the DX-9100, the user will refer to module tags and numbers
and logic variable tags. Absolute addresses (byte address and bit position)
are normally not required.
Note: When an address number is used for a connection inside the
DX-9100, the microprocessor will automatically select between the
Item List and the Logic Variables, depending on whether the
connection is for an analog type or for a logic type.

Note: Since a logic variable byte is recorded when any one of its variables changes
state, you are recommended to assign LRS logic variable bytes to trend log and
to connect the source variables (the ones that you wish to trend) to the individual
LRS variables in a PLC module.
