Cable Concentrator System® Description Substantially reduce the cost of transmitting process signals with Moore Industries’ unique problem solver, the CCS® Cable Concentrator System®. The industryfirst CCS provides money-saving solutions for both monitoring and control applications. Data Acquisition—The CCS collects any combination of up to 496 analog and/or digital signals from dispersed devices (transmitters, transducers, contact closures, etc.). It digitizes and concentrates the signals on to an RS-485 communication link, and sends the data miles between locations. Control—With the CCS, you can transmit control signals long distances on a single data link to valves, pumps, motors, and other devices that require precise on/off or proportional control. Featuring a compact DIN-style rail-mount housing, an integral digital display, and handy on-board configuration controls, the CCS is highly flexible, yet easy to use. Features Figure 1. The CCS reduces the cost of transmitting multiple signals long distances by eliminating the need for point-to-point wiring. The more signals you have, the greater your savings.* Typical Installed Costs* • Configurable I/O Options. Available modules accommodate analog (4-20mA, 1-5V, etc.), discrete, and relay process signals. • On-Site Programming and Calibration. The CCS sets up and calibrates quickly and easily with on-board controls and prompts on its integral LCD. • MODBUS RTU Communication. For Peer-to-Host Systems, this standard RS-485 protocol provides trouble-free interface with MMI software packages, PC, PLC, and DCS systems, and with other networkable instrumentation (-MBR option required). • Automatic Communication Restoration. Without manual intervention, the CCS restores data transmission once the source of the communication failure is removed. • Stops Ground Loops. Complete input/output/power isolation protects signals from degradation caused by ground loops and other electrical transients. CCS CCS Cable Concentrator System Standard Multiconductor Cable * Typical installed costs shown are for a Peer-to-Peer System, and the number of signal points indicated transmitted one mile at typical industry costs (U.S. dollars). “Standard Multiconductor Cable” values do not include conduit, wire trays, and other material costs or the labor costs associated with their installation. If these are required, savings realized from the CCS may be substantially greater. • Transmit Any Distance, Over Any Terrain. Use a twisted wire pair, fiber optic, radio link, or telephone modem data link to overcome rugged, long-distance, normally impassable, and hazardous environments.

Cable Concentrator System® Peer-to-Peer Systems In this architecture, CCS modules are arranged in pairs. For every module situated on one end of the communication link, there is a corresponding module on the opposite end of the link. Monitor and Control For data acquisition, the system collects signals from analog and digital devices like transmitters, transducers, relays, etc. It concentrates the signals, and sends the data to a matching module on the opposite side of the link. For control, multiple signals can be digitized by the CCS in the control room, and sent over the data link to a...
