Example of an operator page
Automatic selection of standard display templates immediately makes best use of the CM30’s display.

Extensive customisation features then enable the displayed information to be tailored to suit the process requirements.

Diagnostics and alarm status display
The diagnostics and alarm status display provides detailed information on any active alarm or diagnostic condition. The operator can see, at-a-glance, the status of any alarm condition present within the process.

Additionally, diagnostic messages are presented clearly to the operator, enabling rapid notification and simple diagnosis of any critical instrument status condition. Historical information of diagnostic messages can also be viewed in the controller’s diagnostic log.

Trend display
Any two analogue values within the ABB CM30 can be plotted on the trend display to give a short-term process history.

This feature enables control efficiency to be monitored against setpoint and assists in tuning during commissioning.

Exceptionally easy to use
The CM30’s full text display and simple-to-navigate, pop-up menu makes operation exceptionally easy.

A programmable soft key enables commonly used functions, such as alarm acknowledgement and display selection, to be accessed easily by the operator.

ABB CM30 Flexible control functionality

The ABB CM30 features many advanced control functions providing the power to bring even the most complex process under control.

Autotune
Once initial configuration is complete, a powerful autotune facility enables automatic calculation of the PID values required, enabling rapid commissioning of the CM30.

Gain scheduling
The CM30’s gain scheduling functionality is used for efficient control of non-linear processes. Up to 3 different sets of PID parameters are selected automatically from a reference signal ensuring optimum control response, regardless of the process status.

Predictive control (dead-time compensation)
Control of processes with long dead-times, such as pH dosing in a pipeline, is addressed easily using pPI control. Configured via only 3 parameters (gain, integral time and dead-time), pPI control can also be combined with gain scheduling for optimum control efficiency.

Adaptive control
Adaptive control enables the CM30 to adjust its control response automatically to suit changing process dynamics. This makes the ABB CM30 particularly useful for processes with varying or uncontrolled types of load, by providing continuous tuning to maximize control efficiency.

The diagram (right) shows a product used in a manufacturing process that is stored in an outside tank. The use of adaptive control within the manufacturing process compensates automatically for the change in product temperature caused by seasonal variation.

Split output control
The CM30 can also be configured to perform split output control, for example, when both heating and cooling of a single process is required.

Remote auto / manual switching
In addition to switching via the front panel, the ABB CM30 can be switched between automatic and manual control mode using an external signal.

When switched to manual mode via a digital signal, the value of the control output can be preset, for example, to fully open a control valve automatically during a cleaning cycle.

External setpoint selection
The CM30’s control setpoint can be selected via external digital signals, for example, simplifying operation by selecting different setpoints using external push buttons.

Bank control
Bank control enables improved control of multi-element output devices such as banks of heaters, pumps and fans. Aimed at minimizing wear caused by over-use of one specific ‘duty’ device, bank control enables wear to be levelled by sharing duty and assist handling between every device in the bank.

Bank control gives users the choice of either ‘Rotate’ or ‘First In, First Out (FIFO)’ wear-levelling schedules. If required, bank control can be combined with PID control, assigning the PID output signal to the bank control function.

Bank control can also be utilized when split output control is configured. For example, when two variable speed pumps are being controlled in a duty assist configuration. Each time both pumps are stopped the duty and assist outputs are alternated.

ABB CM10 Problem Solving Flexibility

Extensive functionality is available to provide flexible problem-solving capability; making the CM10 much more than just a process controller.

Process alarms
8 independent process alarms can monitor any analogue signal within the CM10, enabling extensive process monitoring capability. Alarms can be used to drive physical outputs or soft-wired to other functions within the controller.

Real-time alarms
The ‘alarm clock’ functionality provided by the CM10’s real time alarms enables time-of-day decisions to be introduced into the controller’s actions or specific functions to be triggered routinely at specified times.

Delay timers
Event sequencing is enabled through the use of the CM10’s delay timers. A predetermined delay and output duration can be programmed into each delay timer and timers can be linked together.

Custom linearisers
The ABB CM10 has 2 independent 20-point custom linearizers that can be applied to any analogue signal within the controller. These linearisers can be used in applications such as level-to volume conversion of a non-linear tank level or to accommodate special input signals or output devices.

Math
8 math blocks provide arithmetic, averaging, min. / max. hold, square root and signal switching functionality. Simple equations can be performed in a single math block or multiple math blocks can be nested together to construct complex equations.

Signal switching ‘multiplexer’ math blocks switch between 2 analogue signals based on a trigger signal. For example, a backup sensor could be selected automatically on failure of a primary sensor.

Logic
8 comprehensive logic equations provide powerful interlock functionality. Inputs and outputs of the logic equations can be soft-wired to any digital signal within the controller to maximise flexibility.

Bank control
Bank control enables improved control of multi-element output devices such as banks of heaters, pumps and fans. Aimed at minimising wear caused by over-use of one specific ‘duty’ device, bank control enables wear to be levelled by sharing duty and assist handling between every device in the bank.

ABB CM10 Communications

Extensive communication options enable the ABB CM10 to be integrated into larger control systems easily or connected to other process instrumentation.

RS 485 MODBUS
Using RS 485 MODBUS, values and status can be communicated to and from the controller in real-time via an RS 485 connection.

Ethernet
Optional Ethernet communications enable ControlMaster to be integrated in to an Ethernet network quickly. The following functionality is provided:

• Email
  • Notification of a critical process event or status can be made by email. Multiple events can trigger an email that can be sent to multiple recipients
• Webserver
  • ControlMaster’s integrated webserver enables the current status of the process and controller to be viewed remotely using a standard web browser
• MODBUS TCP
  • Process values and status can be communicated to and from the ABB CM10 in real-time using MODBUS TCP, enabling it to be integrated easily into larger control systems or connected to a data recorder.

ABB CM10 PC configuration

The ABB CM10 can be fully configured using ABB’s ConfigPilot software.

Available free of charge, ConfigPilot enables off-line creation and editing of configuration files.

Configurations are transferred to and from a controller via its standard IrDA port and a USB IrDA adapter.

ABB CM10 Setpoint Profile

Setpoint profile capability makes the ABB CM10 ideally suited to thermal processing applications where a specific temperature profile must be followed. A profile can be created quickly by programming up to 10 segments (for example, ramp, hold, wait or step). Process operators can then activate and monitor the program easily via dedicated profile operator displays and menus. An ABB CM10 can have a single profile of up to 10 segments.

Fast run mode
When activated fast run mode runs a profile at 8 times normal speed allowing complex or long duration programs to be tested prior to use.

Guaranteed ramp / soak
For processes where strict tolerances must be adhered to during a profile cycle, guaranteed ramp/soak can be applied to appropriate segments. A configurable hysteresis can be applied to a segment; if the process variable exceeds these limits the program is placed on hold until the process recovers. Once back within limits the profile can be configured to continue, or repeat, the current segment. Hysteresis limits can be above, below or above and below the setpoint value.

Sequencing and interlocks
When interlocks are required, wait segments can be placed in a program. On arriving at a wait segment the profile waits until a required condition is met (for example, digital input received) before continuing with the program.

Dedicated profile displays
To make day-to-day operation as easy as possible, profile control has dedicated display templates. A concise display detailing the program name, status and time remaining is shown to the operator. A more detailed program and segment status information is available on sub-pages.
