User Manual For - CONTROLLER/DATA RECORDER MultiCon CMC-N16

Explanation of the symbols used in the manual:

- This symb l den tes especially imp rtant guidelines c ncerning the installati n and

perati n f the device. N t c mplying with the guidelines den ted by this symb l

may cause an accident, damage r equipment destructi n.

IF THE DEVICE IS NOT USED ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, THE USER IS HELD

RESPONSIBLE IN ACCORDANCE ITH THIS MANUAL FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE.

- This symb l den tes especially imp rtant characteristics f the unit.

Read any inf rmati n regarding this symb l carefully

1. BASIC REQUIREMENTS AND USER SAFETY

- The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused by inappropriate

installation, not maintaining the proper environmental conditions and using the

unit contrary to its assignment.

- Installation must be performed by qualified personnel . During installation all

available safety requirements must be considered. The fitter is responsible for

executing the installation in accordance with this manual, local safety and EMC

regulations.

- Protective conductor terminal of the device must be connected to an external

protective earthing system .

- The unit must be properly set-up, according to the application. Incorrect

configuration may cause defective operation, which can lead to unit damage or

an accident.

- In case of a unit malfunction there is a risk of a serious threat to the safety

of people or property additional. Independent systems and solutions to

prevent such a threat must be used.

- The unit uses dangerous voltage that can cause a lethal accident. The

unit must be switched off and disconnected from the power supply prior to

starting installation of troubleshooting (in case of malfunction).

- Neighbouring and connected equipment must meet appropriate standards and

regulations concerning safety and be equipped with adequate overvoltage and

interference filters.

- Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the unit yourself. The unit has

no user serviceable parts. Defective units must be disconnected and submitted

for repairs at an authorized service centre.

- In order to minimize a fire or electric shock hazard, the unit must be protected

against atmospheric precipitation and excessive humidity.

- Do not use the unit in areas threatened with excessive shocks, vibrations, dust,

humidity, corrosive gasses and oils.

- Do not use the unit in areas where there is a risk of explosions.

User Manual For - CONTROLLER/DATA RECORDER MultiCon CMC-N16 
- Do not use the unit in areas with significant temperature variations, exposure to
condensation or ice.
- Do not use the unit in areas exposed to direct sunlight. 
- Make sure that the ambient temperature (e.g. inside the control box) does not 
exceed the recommended values. In such cases forced cooling of the unit must 
be considered (e.g. by using a ventilator).
The unit is designed for operation in an industrial environment and must
not be used in a household environment or similar.
1.1.    TOUCH-SCREEN USE
Do not use pointers with sharp edges (like  tips of pencils and pens,  knives, scissors,
needles, wires, nails, screws, bolts etc.) while working with the touch-screen. It is strongly
recommended to use a special stylus made of plastic or another soft material with rounded
ends (for example the stylus delivered with the device). The display of the  MultiCon CMC-
 16  should also be protected against  aggressive substances  and extremely  high  and low
temperatures (see Chapter 3. TECH ICAL DATA).
2.    G   ENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The  MultiCon   CMC- 16  is   a   sophisticated   multichannel   unit   which   allows   a
simultaneous measurement, visualisation and control of numerous channels. This device can
operate  autonomously  or in cooperation with external measurement devices and actuators.
Essential features of the MultiCon CMC- 16 are listed and briefly described below.
• Advanced processing unit and system based on LINUX 
The powerful MultiCon CMC- 16 processor allows the device to run under the control of
a LINUX  operating  system.  Such  a  solution   makes the firmware flexible   and  gives the
possibility   of   a   simultaneous   operation   of   many   processes   (such   as:   measurement,
communication,   visualisation).   The   use   of   LINUX   also   makes   software independent of
installed hardware.
• Color TFT display with Touch-panel
The MultiCon CMC- 16 displays all data and dialogue on a legible, 320x240 pixels, color
TFT  screen.   Full   control   of   the  device   is   realised  using   the  built-in   touch-panel  which
makes operating the MultiCon CMC- 16 easy and intuitive.
• Hardware flexibility and a large variety of possible configurations
MultiCon CMC- 16  is designed as a modular device consisting of a  base  and optional
input and output modules. The base contains: 
– main processor, 
– display with touch-screen,
– Switch Mode Power Supply 
• 19V...24...50V DC, 1 V...24...35V AC 
• 85V...230...2 0V,
– basic communication interfaces (USB and RS485).
– three   blocks   (marked   as   A,   B,   C)   designed   for   installation   of   input   and   output
hardware configurations.

– one block (marked as D) designed for installation of communication hardware

configurations.

All hardware configurations are optional and can be installed inside the device according to

the customer's needs.

Optional hardware configurations for block A are:

– 2/4x universal inputs with analogue flowmeter mode (flowmeter/tachometer

0/4  20 mA),

Optional hardware configurations for block B are:

– 2x counter inputs with flowmeter mode,

– 4x binary inputs,

Optional hardware configurations for block C are:

– 2/4x Relay module 1A/250V,

– 2/4x Passive current output,

– 2/4x OC-type outputs with PWM mode,

– 2/4x Passive current output + 2/4x Relay module 1A/250V,

– 2/4x Passive current output + OC-type outputs with PWM mode,

– 2/4x Relay module 1A/250V + 2/4x OC-type outputs with PWM mode,

Optional hardware configurations for block D are:

– Ethernet port with or without IP 7 connector on the housing,

– RS-485 port + Ethernet port with or without IP 7 connector on the housing,

• Full freedom of data sources, presentation modes and controlling methods

The multi level structure of the MultiCon CMC- 16 firmware allows to select presented

data sources, presentation modes and controlling methods. The MultiCon CMC- 16

displays the values of virtual logical channels which can be fed with:

– measurement data from built-in physical channels,

– measurement data from remote channels (other devices connected to the MultiCon

CMC- 16 by RS-485 interface),

– output states and quantities (looped back results of controlling processes),

– generate profiles/timers or also the mathematical combination of one or more

logical channels.

All of these can be freely named and described by the user, and presented in many

forms:

– as numerical values,

– vertical and horizontal charts,

– vertical and horizontal bars,

– as needle graphs.

Every logical channel (visualised or not) can be used as input data for one or more

controlling processes. The MultiCon CMC- 16 implements many different controlling

methods:

– above a defined level,

– below a defined level,

– within a defined range,

– out of a defined range,

– PID control.

Fig. 2.1. Basic structure f the multichannel device

Process control with built-in outputs can be done with programmable hysteresis and

delays of the outputs control. It is possible to control (linearly or bistably) remote

modules. Controlling processes can drive built-in physical outputs or virtual outputs

which can be used as inputs to logical channels.
