5.9.3 Process Control
Note: The process control is only enabled in the TE Series 1.91 and above.
The Process Control feature has two different control methods: Main-In and Main-Out. The Main-In maintains a
reservoir/pressure level by controlling the flow of fluid/gas into the reservoir/tank. The Main-Out maintains a
reservoir/pressure level by controlling the flow of fluid/gas from the reservoir/tank. It does this by regulating the
speed of the engine over the J1939 CANbus.
The process control feature takes over on an engine start once the engine has ramped up to the goal speed
(after going through the idle and intermediate ramping).
The controller reads the sensor value from selected Auxiliary Sensor input (1, 2, 3 or 4) or Transducer Input
(Aux 5), compares the input value with the set-point, and then, based on an algorithm, increments or decrements
the speed (RPM) by a certain amount (controlled by the Gain and Delay settings) to maintain the desired set-
point outside of the deadband area. Control pauses inside the deadband area. If the sensor input goes beyond a
minimum or maximum value, the algorithm will pause, and the RPM will be maintained at a minimum or
maximum value.
The algorithm is a fuzzy logic type control with a deadband and a minimum / maximum saturation. The user sets
the aggressiveness of the control with the
Gain setting and the response time of the control with the Delay
setting.
