39. grounding is critical to the performance and reliability of nCompass Most of the problems in electrical systems can be attributed to poor or improper grounding techniques as well as poor earth grounds at the installation site Control systems like nCompass which contain sensor and communication wiring as well as sensitive electronics are particularly acceptable to stray electrical transients Proper wire routing away from sources of high power AC or inductive DC circuits and the use of shielded cables for sensor and communications wiring must be considered carefully Ground conductors should be as short and as large in size as is feasible Each ground conductor should be individually run back to the central earth grounding point for the system Ground conductors should not be daisy chained or branched off from one device to another This can cause an imbalance in the ground potential at each device in the system which can induce electrical currents to flow between devices along the ground path and result in damage to or malfunction of the device 3 2 1 Special Considerations for Low Voltage System Grounding A typical installation of the nCompass controller will result in a combination of both high voltage possibly 120Vac or higher and low voltage 24Vdc components and wiring While all components that are required to be grounded must all attach to the central ground point of the system randomly combining the grounds from both AC and DC compon

Refer to the operating manual for the brand and model loop control being used for dimensions appropriate mounting and operating conditions NOTE For systems using dual loop controllers such as the Honeywell UDC3500 brand control each controller provides two loops of control Therefore only one controller can be used with nCompass providing a maximum of two loops of control For applications requiring several loops of control proper planning and arrangement of the process controllers prior to mounting is critical for optimum routing of the controller wiring For applications requiring frequent access to the process controllers panel mounting provides direct access to the controllers For applications where operator access to the controllers is not required or is desired to be kept at a minimum the controllers can be mounted directly inside of an enclosure This also reduces wiring concerns by eliminating the need to run the sensor communication and control wiring for each controller to and from an enclosure door 2 3 3 nCompass Process Monitor Modules The monitor module as shown below mounts directly onto an industry standard DIN rail Field sensor wiring is on the front of the module via a plug in connector The module power and RS485 communications wiring is on a separate plug in connector on the bottom side of the housing Allow at least 25mm 1 in front of and below the module to accommodate the wiring Ensure that enough space is

84. ass i4 3 6 Why has the profile not completed its run by the stop date given when I started it The estimated stop date provided by nCompass for the profile is a calculated value based on the sum total of all step times This time can be affected by any guaranteed soaks or wait for conditions entered into steps of the profile The affects of these times is an unknown and can cause the profile to run longer than calculated because they pause the profile until their conditions are met NOTE nCompass does update the estimated stop date based on these conditions as they occur however it does make the stop date a moving target 7 Guaranteed soak is turned on why are the loops not following the programmed ramp Guaranteed soak is typically not turned on in ramp steps Guaranteed soak is used to pause a step until the selected input is within the soak limit band around set point On a ramp step if the step time is paused due to an input leaving the soak band the ramp rate is then affected because profile timer stops and the set point is no longer changing It will hold at that set point until the input returns to the soak band Since the purpose of a ramp step is to change the set point over time the input could be repeatedly falling in and out of the soak band limit throughout the step thus causing the profile to pause and resume operation multiple times This will elongate the overall step time and change the rate of change of the set point Gu
