MULTICHANNEL CONTROLLERS, DATA RECORDERS

MultiCon = Meter + Controller + Recorder + HMI + SCADA in one package The MultiCon line includes advanced controllers and recorders with great potential closed in small casings. MultiCon has been specifically designed for advanced applications in industrial automatic control engineering. It does not mean, however, that the device cannot be applied in smaller systems. MultiCon can be equipped with three isolated RS-485 interfaces which make it a perfect solution for distributed systems to work as CPU. Thanks to Ethernet interface the device can be monitored via the Internet. A wide range of...

The biggest advantage of all devices from the MultiCon line is a big number of built-in inputs / outputs accessible in one compact device. The most developed version CMC-99 has up to 48 measurement or digital inputs and 60 virtual channels whereas CMC-141 has 50% more inputs / outputs and virtual channels. Thanks to a well-thought-out module design you can choose among a wide range of cards and connect them to slots in the way you wish but you do not have to use all slots. You can also decide on your own how to use virtual channels, if they are going to be used for direct measurement...

MultiCon family As a result of extending the range of functional applications of the MultiCon line, the CMC-N16 wall mounted model has been designed. The new IP 65 enclosure allows using the device in harsh environments, where safe installation of a typical controller / data recorder in a panel mounted enclosure is impossible. Although the number of available inputs is reduced if compared with the panel mounted model, the functionality available so far has been maintained. CMC-141 is CMC-99's bigger brother. It has all features included in CMC-99, but in addition it has a bigger display,...

...and a recorder in the same package up to 125 000 000 records! Data recording makes a kind of a value added to the tremendous possibilities shown above. MultiCon can record any 60 measurement channels at a speed of 10 samples per second. It has 1.5 GB built-in flash memory, enabling for data logging up to 125 000 000 records. The function of data logging has been also optimized for the use of hardware resources of this device - the channels for data logging are grouped (1-6 channels) and in each group a speed of data logging can be freely set. Additionally, there is a unique option of...

SCADALite - a breakthrough in data presentation SCADALite is a functionality allowing for process management directly from the MultiCon screen. Information important for the operator can be presented in graphical form, including animations, dynamic charts, the most important numbers and, in the case of alarm, also sounds. SCADALite enables definition of a specified number of screens to present different range of the required information. The specified measurement parameters can be included in the graphics that reflects the monitored process/facility by means of a photo or drawing. SCADALite...

SCADALite process management directly from the screen, different screens for a single process, graphics of the monitored process, quick visualization, free arrangement of indicators, operator's work comfort, easy adjustment to specialized requirements, quick editing - new graphics and change of indicator arrangement is enough, modification of indicator arrangement during the device operation. View linking View linking is used to move directly to the view of a selected group of metering parameters. Each view created in the SCADALite mode can be now linked to another screen. Just place the...

The expanded functionality MultiLevel Access The MultiLevel Access mode makes the MultiCon even more universal. You can define up to 16 independent users including the administrator who is the only user with a permission to freely configure the device without any limitations. The administrator’s role also consists in defining permissions for other users. Only one user can be logged on at a given moment. The user is logged off after the lapse of time from the moment of the last interaction of the user with the device as specified by the administrator or upon express request of the user after...

E-mail notifications In response to our Customers' demands, the MultiCon line devices are now equipped with a brand new function: an “E-mail notifications” system. It enables sending e-mails directly from the MultiCon, which makes the device even better adapted to high-tech alarm and monitoring systems. The user can define up to 32 different messages to be sent in case of any of the specified events. An e-mail message consists of three elements: topic and text of the message (both with fixed content) and an attachment containing momentary values from the selected groups of or individual...

Manage a developed network of devices MultiCon For more demanding customers with many needs we have prepared the Advanced Communication Module (ACM). This module includes interfaces such as: Ethernet, USB Host, RS-485 and RS-485 shared with RS-232. This is why MultiCon can offer up to 3 isolated RS-485 interfaces which compose the base for the MultiModbus System. Having such a big number of RS-485 interfaces at your disposal MultiCon can communicate with other devices in several independent networks. All the Modbus interfaces can work in both master and slave mode. By means of an Ethernet...

Software DAQ Manager To manage such vast amount of data we have designed the free of charge DAQ Manager software to help you. The software allows to: - visualize data in the form of graphs and tables, - group measurement results, - create reports, - export data into other files. In addition to the data presentation mode (chart/table), the user can also select only the logic channel group concerned. Transparency of presentation will be also enhanced by the change of the time range to such that is important for the analysis being performed. Data and current measurement values recorded by the...
