Fuji PXG5 PID Controller

Telemark University College has nine Fuji PXG5 PID Controllers.

Manual: TN1PXG5_9d-E.pdf. (For the students the manual is available in paper format, too).

We have two slightly different models of the controller.

• PXG5EYF1 (seven copies)
• PXG5EYK1 (two copies)

The only difference between these models that is relevant for our applications is to which terminals (connectors) the Remote setpoint value (RSV) is connected at the backplane of the controller (see below).

Connectors are provided at the backplane of the controller as follows:

• Remote setpoint value (RSV) is a voltage being read by the controller in the range of 0 - 5 V connected at terminals on the backplane of the controller. For the PXG5EYF1 controller model the terminals are 5 and 6. For the PXG5EYK1 controller model the terminals are 3 and 4.
• Process measurement is a voltage in the range of 0 - 5 V connected at terminals 33 and 36.
• Controller output is a current signal in the range 0 - 20 mA at terminals 31 and 32. However, this current must be transformed to a voltage control signal in the range 0 - 5 V by using a a resistor of value 250 Ohm mounted across these terminals. So, the voltage drop over this resistor is used at the actual control signal.
• Power, 220 V AC (mains), is connected to terminals 11 and 12.
