Overview
The 310SV is a fully integrated and configurable controller designed to startup, run, and protect
one-valve steam turbines. The controller is suited to control steam turbines driving mechanical
type loads, such as pumps, fans, compressors, and so on. In addition to speed control, the 310SV
provides cascade control for controlling process variables such as suction/discharge pressure,
or suction flow.
This diagram shows a typical steam turbine application driving a mechanical type load.

Hardware Overview
This section provides an overview of the 310SV hardware.
A Type 4 enclosure houses the 310SV allowing it to be mounted outdoors on the operator's
turbine deck. The unit is self-contained with internal termination hardware. The operator
interface includes a display area that indicates the status of the turbine, and buttons that allow
the operator to control the turbine. The 310SV is powered either by User supplied 24 volts DC,
or by User supplied 120/240 volt AC powering an optional 24VDC power supply.
The 310SV contains these electronic components.
• One control PC board
• One display PC board
• Five buttons
• One selector switch
This block diagram illustrates the electronics in the 310SV.

CONTROL BOARD
Control Board
The control board contains most of the 310SV electronics and all field termination points. The
control board electronics include a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and flash memory.
This table summarizes the field input and output (I/O) capacity of the control board on the
310SV.
Flash Memory
The DSP software is held in flash memory and can be updated through the PC configuration
port. This means you can update the DSP software without removing any boards or chips from
the 310SV.
Configuration information for the 310SV is also held in flash memory, so all settings are retained
when power is removed.
Pulse Input
Signal conditioning circuitry filters and amplifies signals from the magnetic speed pickups. The
resulting pulses are presented to a custom programmable gate array (PGA) circuit, where, along
with proprietary algorithms running in the DSP, the machine speed is determined.
Actuator Output
The 310SV has one actuator output channel. The control application drives the actuator output
to vary the amount of steam supplied to the turbine. You can wire this output for low current (0
to 20 mA) or high current (0 to 160 mA) for compatibility with various actuators.
Analog Output
The 310SV has two analog outputs (0 to 20 mA) intended for indication or remote signaling. You
specify their use during configuration.
Analog Inputs
The 310SV has two, 4 to 20 mA analog inputs. One is intended for use as the process
measurement when running cascade control, such as for a pressure transmitter. The other input
could be used for remote setpoint.
Display Board
A separate display board mounted on the front panel contains two numeric displays and LED
status indicators. The display board connects to the control board through a single, 12-
conductor cable. The buttons and switch on the front panel are wired to the display board and
their signals are sent to the control board over the 12-conductor cable.
Optional Hardware
Several optional hardware components are available to enhance control capabilities. Optional
accessories include:
• Servo amplifier
• Turbine retrofit accessories including actuators, gears, magnetic pickups, position
indicators (LVDTs), and so on.
• Stainless steel, flush-mount cabinet

Control Application
The control application is software that runs on the 310SV controller. Features of the control
application include:
• Primary control types as follows:
— Speed control
— Remote speed setpoint control (high select, low select, or digital input select)
— Process PID control in cascade (choice of suction pressure, discharge pressure, or
suction flow)
— Remote process setpoint control through the process PID
• Speed droop
• Process droop
• Overspeed trip
• Eight configurable startup stages that may each have an idle time or may be configured
as a critical avoidance range.
• Ability to test mechanical overspeed trip devices
• Up to two nozzle valve outputs
• Up to two speed switch outputs
310SV Configurator
You configure the control application by using a program called the 310SV Configurator. The
310SV Configurator runs on a PC connected to the 310SV.
Communication Overview
The 310SV has two asynchronous serial ports for communication. One of the ports acts as a
Modbus slave and allows RS-485 full duplex communication. The other is an RJ-11 port (J2) used
to communicate with the 310SV Configurator PC through an RS-232 configuration cable.
For more information about 310SV communication, see:
• Establishing Communication Between a PC and a 310SV Controller on page 43
• Modbus Aliases on page 129

12 Overview
Overview
The control application is software that runs on the controller and governs turbine operation
during startup, normal operation, normal stop, and during trip conditions.
The main tasks in the control application include:
• Sequencing Logic on page 13
• Trip and Alarm Logic on page 16
• Control Logic on page 18
These tasks are designed to run once per scan cycle. The 310SV processes communication tasks
between scan cycles.
Sequencing Logic
The sequencing logic plays an important role in guiding the controller to take certain actions,
especially during turbine startup and normal stop. The 310SV sequencing logic is based on a
system of modes that control the operation of the turbine. The sequencing logic automatically
selects the mode depending on operating conditions, operator demands, and commands from
other systems. Each sequence mode is tightly interlocked, so the next mode can be entered only
when certain conditions are met.
This table identifies the six modes in which a turbine operates.
Topics include:
• Turbine Shutdown Mode on page 13
• Valve Ramp Mode on page 13
• Turbine Startup Mode on page 14
• Turbine at Minimum Governor Mode on page 15
• Turbine Online Mode on page 15

Trip Logic
The trip logic monitors the system for trip conditions. Any of these conditions can cause a trip:
• Digital input trip; one of the digital inputs signals a trip condition.
• Speed switch trip; one of the speed switches configured to trip activates.
• Fail-safe trip; the turbine does not reach the fail-safe speed within the configured
fail-safe time.
• Overspeed trip; the turbine exceeds the speed high trip speed. During overspeed
testing, the turbine must exceed the overspeed test trip speed to cause a trip.
• Front-panel trip; the operator presses the Stop button and the Stop button is configured
as Trip.
• Critical section trip; the turbine critical section timer expires before the controller enters
another section.
• Electronic stop trip; the electronic stop circuit is opened which causes all outputs from
the controller to be set to zero.
• Modbus trip; a Modbus device activates the trip coil.
• Actuator stroke trip; during actuator stroke testing the controller senses speed on the
turbine.
• Speed low trip; the measured turbine speed drops below the speed low trip setting.
When the trip logic detects a trip condition, the turbine is immediately forced to Mode 0—
Turbine Shutdown. When Turbine Shutdown mode is entered, the actuator output is forced to
the minimum current to close the steam control valve (V1). You cannot restart the turbine until
the condition that caused the trip is cleared.
The last four trips are saved in the Modbus trip history tags and are displayed in the Monitor
view of the 310SV Configurator.
Note After a trip, you must press Alarm Ack or toggle a configured Reset digital input before
you can re-start the turbine.

Alarm Logic
When an alarm condition is present, its corresponding tag is activated to indicate the alarm. Any
alarm activates the common alarm indicator and flashes the Alarm LED.
This table lists the alarms that the system records.
Alarm Description
0 No Alarm
1, 2 Pickup Alarm; the measured speed on one of the pickups dropped below the speed low trip
value. The 310SV will not issue a Pickup Alarm until after the Fail-Safe time has elapsed.
Alarm code 1 indicates pickup number 1 and alarm code 2 indicates pickup number 2.
3 Speed Spread Alarm; the difference between speed readings on the pickups has deviated by
more than the configured amount. The 310SV will not issue a Speed Spread Alarm until after
the Fail-Safe time has elapsed.
4 Digital Input Alarm; a digital input was configured as an alarm input.
5, 6 Analog Input Failure; the input signal was above or below the configured range by 6.25
percent. For example, if the signal is 4 to 20 mA, the alarm would activate if the signal was
below 1 mA or above 21 mA.
Alarm code 5 indicates analog input number 1 and alarm code 6 indicates analog input
number 2.
7, 8, 9 Reserved for future use.
10 Trip Alarm; the turbine was tripped.

Control Logic
This section describes the control logic and the standard function modules that operate in the
310SV control application.
The control logic consists of modular functions that perform the actual control calculations, such
as ramping, droop, and proportional integral derivative (PID) control. These functions are
interconnected and build on one another's calculations to provide the V1 valve signal. The
decision logic activates and selects the appropriate functions, depending on the configuration.
This function module block diagram illustrates the interaction of the standard functions in a
steam turbine application.

46 Overview
Overview
You configure the 310SV controller by using the 310SV Configurator software, which runs on a
PC that is connected to the 310SV controller.
The 310SV Configurator stores configuration properties in configuration files. Configuration
files open in the Configuration view of the 310SV Configurator.
Configuration Files
This section explains how to work with configuration files in the 310SV Configurator.
The 310SV Configurator stores configuration properties in configuration files. When you start
the 310SV Configurator, the most recently used configuration file opens in the Configuration
view.
You can create and save as many configuration files as necessary. You also can print
configuration files and compare configuration files.
After you specify configuration properties using the 310SV Configurator, you must send the
configuration to the controller before the controller can use the new property settings.
You can also retrieve configuration property settings from the controller.
Topics include:
• Creating Configuration Files on page 46
• Saving Configuration Files on page 47
• Printing Configuration Files on page 47
• Comparing Configuration Files on page 48
• Sending Configurations to the Controller on page 49
• Retrieving Configurations from the Controller on page 50
Procedure
1 On the File menu, click New. One of the following happens:
• If the open configuration file contains no unsaved changes, a new configuration file
opens.
• If the open configuration file contains unsaved changes, a message appears asking
if you want to save the changes.
2 Do one of the following:
• To discard the unsaved changes, click No. A new configuration file opens.
• To keep the unsaved changes, click Yes. Changes are saved under the current file
name and a new configuration file opens; or, if the file has never been saved, you
are prompted to enter a file name and then a new configuration file opens.

Tuning Concepts
This section contains definitions and guidelines for tuning the 310SV controller. It also explains
how to use the Tuning view to tune the 310SV in real-time.
Topics include:
• Tuning Terms on page 76
• Tuning Actions on page 77
• Tuning Guidelines on page 78
• Tuning a Controller in Real Time on page 79
Tuning Terms
You should understand these terms before tuning the 310SV.
Proportional Band
Proportional band is the percent change in the measured variable required to produce a 100
percent change in the output. It is the inverse of the gain of the controller, expressed in percent.
This means that the larger the proportional band, the less reactive is the controller.
Reset
Reset (also known as integral) is entered in seconds per repeat. It represents the time required
to repeat the proportional action of the controller if the error remains constant. As long as the
error exists, integral action repeats the proportional action each reset time. The higher the reset
time, the slower the response. Setting Reset to 0.0 disables integral action.
Rate
Rate (also know as derivative) is entered in seconds. Derivative allows the controller to take
feed-forward action by determining the rate of change of measurement. It adds the projected
proportional contribution every derivative time. As long as the rate of change exists, the
derivative action is applied. Increasing the derivative time helps to stabilize the response, but
too high of a derivative time, coupled with noisy signal processes, may cause the output to
fluctuate too greatly, yielding poor control. Setting Rate to 0.0 disables derivative action.
Tuning Actions
Tuning a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller usually involves disturbing the
process and observing the response of the control system to the process. This is undesirable with
many processes, especially turbines. For tuning to be effective, it must be performed under
normal process conditions, with normal flows through valves, and driving a normal load.
These figures illustrate PID actions.

Tuning Guidelines
These are guidelines for tuning a running turbine.
Tuning Sequence
Tune the speed PID first, and then tune the process PID, if configured. A PID controller cannot
be tuned unless it is actually on control. If two or more PIDs are cascaded together, they may
interact, which makes it difficult to effectively tune. It is best to disable a cascade, tune the
downstream PID, then enable the cascade and tune the upstream PID.
Tuning Constants
The proportional band of a typical speed PID is normally between 10 percent and 40 percent.
The reset is between one and five seconds. If the speed PID uses droop, be sure the proportional
band is at least twice the droop setting. For example, if the droop is 4 percent, then make the
proportional band greater than 8 percent. A good starting point for pressure controllers is a 100
proportional band and a 20 second reset. Derivative has several bad side effects and should be
used with caution.
A classical rule of PID tuning is to remove the integral and derivative action, and then slowly
reduce the proportional band until the measurement becomes unstable. Normally, the
proportional band is halved between each test. The measurement begins to cycle as it
approaches the unstable point. Determine the cycle period in seconds and then adjust the tuning
constants as follows:
Proportional Band = (Unstable Prop Band) x 2.0
Reset = Cycle Time x 2.0
Rate = Cycle Time * 0.125 (If determined that Rate is required)
Before Starting
If the 310SV Configurator is not connected to the controller, click the Device menu and then click
Connect.
If you have not selected configuration parameters to graph, open the Trend view and select
configuration properties you want to monitor while tuning. For speed control, these will
normally be speed setpoint, speed measurement, and valve position. For process control, these
will normally be process setpoint, process variable, and valve position.
Procedure
1 On the Monitor menu, click Start Monitoring.
2 On the View menu, click Tuning. The Tuning view appears.
3 In the left pane, type new tuning values in the boxes, or click the arrows to adjust the
values. The 310SV Configurator immediately sends the new values to the controller.
4 In the right pane, observe the effect of the changed tuning values on the turbine.
5 Adjust the tuning values until you are satisfied with the performance of the controller.
6 When you complete the tuning, click the Monitor menu and then click Stop Monitoring.
7 Do one of the following:
• If you want the open configuration file to retain the new tuning values, click the File
menu and then click Save.
• If you want the open configuration file to retain its original tuning values, you can
save the new tuning values to a new configuration file. Click the File menu, and
then click Save As. Type a name for the new configuration file and then click OK.
• If you are not satisfied with the new tuning values and want to discard your
changes, click the File menu and then click Open or New. On the Warning message,
click No to not save your changes. If you clicked Open on the File menu, you can
open the configuration file you just closed and it will contain its original values.

Overview
You operate the 310SV using controls located on the front panel. The 310SV controls the turbine
based on input it receives from the front panel, and the configuration you uploaded using the
310SV Configurator.
While the 310SV is connected to the PC, you can view real-time turbine data by using the 310SV
Configurator.

Start/Continue Button
Pressing the Start/Continue button causes the controller to start the turbine according to the
startup and acceleration profile in the configuration. If the configuration calls for a ramp-and-
hold, pressing the Start/Continue button causes the sequence to continue.
Pressing and holding the Overspeed Test button and then pressing the Start/Continue button
initiates an uncoupled startup.
After the 310SV enters Turbine Online mode, pressing and holding the Select button and then
pressing the Start/Continue button enables cascade control.
Stop Button
You can configure the Stop button as Stop, Trip, or Disabled.
• Stop = the valve is commanded to minimum—no trip is issued.
• Trip = the valve closes and a trip is issued.
• Disabled = nothing happens when you push the Stop button.
Select Button
Pressing the Select button makes a property code appear in the lower LED display. The property
code tells you what the numeric value in the lower display represents. Releasing the Select
button makes the numeric value reappear in the lower display.
Pressing and holding the Select button and then turning the Lower/Raise switch scrolls through
property codes. Releasing the Select button displays the value of the property.
Lower/Raise Switch
The Lower/Raise switch allows lowering and raising of the active setpoint. When speed control
is active, turning the Lower/Raise switch lowers or raises the speed setpoint. When cascade
control is active, turning the Lower/Raise switch raises or lowers the process setpoint.
Turning the Lower/Raise switch in either direction for less than one second causes the setpoint
to step by the smallest displayed increment (1 RPM for speed). Turning the Lower/Raise switch
in either direction for longer than one second causes the setpoint to ramp at a rate defined by
the configuration. If the fast raise/lower ramp rate and delay are configured, the setpoint ramps
at that rate if the Lower/Raise switch is turned in either direction for the delay duration.
If Snapback is enabled, turning the Lower/Raise switch in either direction for longer than the
snapback delay causes the setpoint to snap to the measurement when the switch is released.

Front-Panel Button Properties on page 74
LED Display
The front panel includes an upper LED display that indicates the measured speed of the turbine
in revolutions per minute (RPM), and a lower LED display that can show values for configured
properties, and alarm or trip codes.
By default, the lower display indicates the speed setpoint, when the controller is running in
speed mode. When the controller is running in cascade, the default view in the lower display
indicates the process setpoint.
You can view the value of different properties in the lower display by pressing and holding the
Select button and then turning the Lower/Raise switch. Property codes that represent
configured properties scroll through the lower display as you turn the Lower/Raise switch.
When you see the display code for the property value you want to view, release the Select

130 Overview
Overview
Most 310SV program variables are stored in Modbus aliases so they can be accessed outside the
controller using industry-standard Modbus protocol. This section contains a description of the
Modbus implementation in the 310SV and tables that list the aliases of all available tags in the
310SV.
A complete Modbus manual is available from Modicon at:
http://www.modicon.com
Modbus Implementation
This section contains general information about Modbus protocol and explains the Modbus
implementation in the 310SV.

• Supported Function Codes on page 130
• Modbus Message Format on page 131
• Read and Write Function Codes on page 131
• Modbus Bins on page 131
• Floating Point Reference Bins on page 132
• Scaled Integer and Floating Point Example on page 133

Modbus Bins
The Modbus bins are divided into sections based on the data format as shown in this table.
This table lists several examples of floating point and scaled integer values. The controller
rounds floating point values to the nearest integer when transmitting data in a 16-bit range.

MaxSpan – MinSpan
This table describes the minimum and maximum spans for the different types of units
transmitted through Modbus. If the Min Span and Max Span are user-defined, the Modbus alias
tag names that represent the Min Span and Max Span value appear in the table.
Modbus Debugging
This procedure explains how to troubleshoot Modbus communication problems.
The alias, cModbusDebug (00068), causes the controller to send a loopback diagnostic message
(function code 08) through the RS-485 Modbus port every second without receiving a request
from the Modbus Master device. This is useful to generate traffic on the serial line to view with
a protocol analyzer. Do not leave this setting active during normal operation as it may interfere
with the Modbus master device.
You can also use the 310SV Configurator to view Modbus Statistics in the left pane of the
Monitor view. Observe the Message Count, Timeout Count, and Exception Count while
sending requests from the Modbus master device.
Procedure
1 Verify the Modbus Unit ID in the controller (Communications/Modbus/Modbus Unit
ID in the Configuration view) and in the Modbus master device, as well as the Baud
Rate, Data Bits, Parity, and Stop Bits.
2 Send loopback diagnostic messages or data requests from the Modbus Master device.
3 The Message Count should increment in the 310SV Configurator. If the Message Count
does not change, it indicates a problem with the serial connection, or a Unit ID or Baud
Rate inconsistency.
4 If the Error Count or Timeout Count is changing, it indicates a problem with the wiring
(possible reversed polarity) or with Parity, Data Bits, or Stop Bits settings.
5 If the Message Count is changing (indicating the controller successfully received the
message) but the Modbus master device is not receiving the response, check the polarity
of the receive wiring.
Modbus Aliases
This section contains tables that list the aliases of all available tags in the 310SV. The table
column headings are:
• Alias—the Modbus alias number where the data resides.
• Tag Name—the variable name assigned to the value within the 310SV.
• Description—description of the purpose of the variable.
• Units—the type of engineering unit of the value in the alias.
• Min Span—the minimum engineering units to be found in the alias.
• Max Span—the maximum engineering units to be found in the alias.
• Tag Type—describes the access level to the value through Modbus.
— Setpoint = the value is controlled using an HMI or DCS and is not changed when a
configuration is sent to the controller from the 310SV Configurator.
— Read- value can never be changed through Modbus.

Overview
This section contains information on 310SV specifications and safety and hazardous area
certifications.
Electrical Specifications
This section contains electrical specifications.
The steady-state current capacity of the digital output (DO) channels is limited according to the
internal temperature of the 310SV enclosure. The internal temperature of the enclosure is a
function of the ambient temperature, the heat generated by components inside the enclosure,
and the thermal properties of the enclosure. The thermal properties of the enclosure are fixed,
and there are certain components that are always included with the 310SV controller. Therefore,
the variables used to determine internal temperature are ambient temperature and the I/O
module population and loading.
There are different temperature derate curves for the AC-power version and the DC-power
version of the 310SV controller. You should use these derate curves to determine maximum
steady-state DO current based on ambient temperature.
These conditions were assumed in calculating all of the derate curves:
• all six flexible digital input/output module slots are populated
• three modules are digital inputs (all in the ON state)
• three modules are digital outputs (all at maximum allowable current according to the
derate curves)
• all five remote digital inputs are ON
• both analog inputs are at 20mA
• both analog outputs are at 20mA
• the actuator output is at 200mA
Appendix D Specifications
164 Electrical Specifications
This table summarizes the I/O population and conditions assumed in calculating all of the
derate curves.
Up to six digital output modules can be installed and energized in steady-state conditions, but
the individual module current cannot exceed the DO Current per Channel curve and the total
current of all DO modules cannot exceed the Total DO Current curve.
