3500 Engineering Handbook - Chapter Series - Installation and Operation

Oct 23, 2026

3500 Engineering Handbook describes the 3500 Process Controller, including installation, operation, and comprehensive guidance for setup and commissioning. It provides an end-to-end structure covering installation and operation, getting started, access to further parameters, and function blocks. Subsequent sections address wiring of function blocks, instrument and process I/O configuration, logic input/output, relay outputs, module configuration, expanders, alarms, and input types such as BCD, plus digital communications, counters, timers, and counters. The handbook further covers application-specific features, monitoring, logic maths, load, control loop setup, setpoint programming, switching, scaling, user values, calibration, iTools configuration, OEM security, user switches, and communication tables, with safety and EMC appendices and technical specification references.
