What to do if process variable (temperature) does not rise on Shinko FCR-13A?
If the process variable (temperature) is not rising on your Shinko Controller, it could be due to a burnt-out thermocouple or RTD. Check that the lead wire of the thermocouple or RTD is securely connected to the instrument terminal.
Why is the PV not rising on my Shinko FCR-13A?
If the PV on your Shinko Controller isn't rising, one potential cause is a burnt-out thermocouple or RTD. Try replacing the sensor. Also, check that the sensor or control output terminals are securely mounted and correctly wired to the instrument terminals.
Why is the PV display indication irregular or unstable on my Shinko Controller?
If the PV display indication on your Shinko Controller is irregular or unstable, ensure that a suitable sensor input has been selected using the Rotary switch (SW303) and DIP switch (SW304). Also, verify that the temperature unit is correct using the DIP switch (SW304), the sensor correction value is appropriate, the thermocouple or RTD specification is correct, there is no AC leakage into the thermocouple or RTD circuit (use an ungrounded sensor), and that there is no interfering equipment near the controller.
What causes the PV display to flash on a Shinko FCR-13A Controller?
If the PV display on your Shinko Controller is flashing, ensure that the polarity of the thermocouple or compensating lead wire is correct. Also, check whether the RTD codes (A, B, B) match the instrument terminals.
What to do if control is not performing on my Shinko FCR-13A?
If control is not performing on your Shinko Controller and only the PV display is indicated, the Control output OFF function might be active. Press the key to cancel this function. Alternatively, Program mode might be selected. To start Program control, press the key. For Fixed value control, press the key for approximately 3 seconds while holding down the key.
What does it mean if the PV display is indicating nothing or only PV on my Shinko Controller?
If the PV display on your Shinko Controller shows no indication or only PV, it's possible that the Control output OFF function is enabled. To release this function, press the key for approximately 1 second.
What to do if control output (OUT1 or OUT2) remains in an OFF status on Shinko FCR-13A Controller?
If the control output (OUT1 or OUT2) remains in an OFF status on your Shinko Controller, it could be that the OUT1 high limit value or OUT2 high limit value is set to 0% or less. Set it to a suitable value while in Auxiliary function setting mode 2.
Why are settings (SV, P, I, D values, alarm, etc.) impossible on Shinko FCR-13A?
If you cannot adjust settings such as SV, P, I, D values, or alarms on your Shinko Controller, it may be because the lock selection is enabled. Release the lock selection. Also, ensure that auto-tuning is cancelled.
Why is the indication of PV display abnormal or unstable on my Shinko FCR-13A Controller?
An unstable or abnormal PV display indication on your Shinko Controller can occur if the sensor input selection is improper. Ensure the Sensor input is correctly set using the Rotary switch (SW303) and the DIP switch (SW304). Also, check that the temperature unit is properly set with the DIP switch. AC may be leaking into the thermocouple or RTD circuit, or there might be interfering equipment nearby. Keep such equipment away from the controller.
Why is OUT1 or OUT2 remaining in an ON status on my Shinko FCR-13A Controller?
If OUT1 or OUT2 remains in an ON status on your Shinko Controller, the OUT1 low limit value or OUT2 low limit value might be set to 100% or higher in Auxiliary function setting mode 2. Set it to a suitable value.
