Project Planning Manual

This edition 1990 of the Project Planning Manual describes the SIPART DR20 compact
controller in the design with software version A09 (see page 91).This device can be used
to implement all functions which have already been described in earlier documents. A
number of function extensions have been made compared to earlier devices; these are
especially identified.

Notice
The controller SIPART DR20 is powered by electricity. Certain components within electrical
instruments are by necessity subject to very high voltages. Serious physicalinjury or damage to
property / equipment may ensue if the hints in this manual are ignored. Only suitable qualified
personnel should use this controller. The trouble-free and safe operation depends on proper
transport, professional storage, as well as careful operation and maintenance.

SIPART, TELEPERM, SIMATIC and COROS are registered trade marks
of the SiemensAktiengesellschaft

1.1

Control Loop

An automatic control system has the function of bringing the output variable x of a controlled
system to a predetermined value and to maintain this value against the influence of disturbances z.
With digital controller,the controlled variable x is measured cyclically and compared with the
command variable w. The resulting negative deviation xd = w - x is processed in the controller to
form the manipulated variable y which acts on the controlled system.

Sensors and Transmitters

The controlled variable may be any physical quantity. Frequently encountered variables in process
engineering are e.g. pressure, temperature, level and flow.
Certain sensors such as resistance thermometers, resistance transmitters and thermocouples can
