Microprocessor-based Hardware Features

• Microprocessor based controller.
• Expandable architecture for distributed or centralized control systems.
• Standard Small Panel (24wX30hX8d):
  • 16 Analog Inputs, 16 Analog Outputs
  • 64 Discrete Inputs or Outputs (2 I/O Racks).
• Standard Large Panel (36wX60hX8d):
  • 64 Analog Inputs, 16 Analog Outputs
  • 160 Discrete Inputs or Outputs (5 I/O Racks).
• Special-Order Floor-Mount Panel:
  • 64 Analog Inputs, 16 Analog Outputs
  • 224 Discrete Inputs or Outputs (7 I/O Racks).
• Network and communications:
  • Four fully-independent serial ports (two RS-422/485, one RS-232/422/485, one modem/RS-232).
  • RS-422/485 differential serial network provides noise immunity.
  • Error detection and automatic link failure recovery.
  • On board modem with auto answer capability. Optional auto-dial out feature also available.
  • Optional open communications protocols including Modbus RTU, Allen-Bradley DF1, BACnet, and FrickTalk.
• User interface:
  • Simple menu structure for easy access to all features.
  • Fast “Hot Key” menu access.
  • Alarm highlighting using reverse video characters.
  • Extensive status monitoring and data logging.
  • Standardized data entry.
  • Password control for both viewing and updating of screen data. Customizable by the end-user.
• Self-diagnostics:
  • “Watch Dog” timer detects power loss, power droop, or microcontroller malfunction.
  • Binary error detection communications protocol insures accurate high speed transfer of data in harsh industrial environments.
  • “Self Test” software periodically checks controller for integrity and notifies user of any problems.
  • “Internal Panel Temperature” sensor is located on the microcontroller and is used to monitor and log panel temperature (Option).
