- This sym ol denotes especially important guidelines concerning the installation and

operation of the device. Not complying with the guidelines denoted y this sym ol

may cause an accident, damage or equipment destruction.

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

RESPONSIBLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS MANUAL FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE.

- This sym ol denotes especially important characteristics of the unit.

Read any information regarding this sym ol 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 E C

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-99/141 
- 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. 
-  ake 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-
 /141 should also be protected against aggressive substances and extremely high and low
temperatures (see Chapter 3. TECHNICAL DATA).
2.    G   ENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The  MultiCon   CMC- /141  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- /141 are listed and briefly described below.
• Advanced processing unit and system based on LINUX 
The powerful MultiCon CMC- /141 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- /141  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- /141 easy and intuitive.
• Hardware flexibility and a large variety of possible configurations
MultiCon CMC- /141 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  ode Power Supply 
• 19V...24...50V DC, 16V...24...35V AC 
• 85V...230...260V,
– basic communication interfaces (USB and RS485).
– three  slots   (marked   as   A,  B,  C)  designed   for   installation   of   input  and/or   output
modules.

User Manual For - CONTROLLER/DATA RECORDER MultiCon CMC-99/141

– one slot (marked as D) used for advanced communication module (additional USB

Host, RS-485, RS-485/RS-232 and the Ethernet).

All measurement and output modules are optional and can be installed inside the device

according to the customer's needs.

Input modules that can be installed:

– 4/8/16/24x Voltage/Current input module,

– 16/24x NTC/Voltage/Current/Digital mixed inputs module,

– 6x Isolated current input module,

– 4/6x RTD input module,

– 4/8/12x TC input module,

– 8/16/24x Optoisolated digital input,

– 3/5x universal input module,

– 2/4x universal counter module,

– 2/4x hourmeter module,

– 2/4x flowmeter input + 2/4x current input module.

– 2/4x pulse input + 2/4x current input module

Output modules that can be installed:

– 4/6x Relay module 5A/250V,

– 8/12x Relay module 1A/250V,

– 2/4/6/8x Passive current output module.

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

The multi level structure of the MultiCon CMC- /141 firmware allows to select presented

data sources, presentation modes and controlling methods. The MultiCon CMC- /141

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- /141 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- /141 implements many different controlling

methods:

– above a defined level,

– below a defined level,

– within a defined range,

– out of a defined range,

– PID control.

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.
