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 Master unit. Thanks to Ethernet port the device can be monitored via the Internet. A wide range of...

Construction Hardware inputs/outputs 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...

Construction 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...

recording mode Memory buffer for a 2 GB card recording mode Memory buffer for a 4 GB card Data recordingup to 300 000 000 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 2 or 4 GB built-in flash memory, enabling for data logging up to 300 000 000 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...

Control Logical channels A distinctive feature of MultiCon is its ability to perform measurement, processing and control tasks at the same time. It is achieved by using the so-called "logical channels", which provide a virtual bridge between physical inputs/outputs and control and visualization processes. An extensive configuration menu of logical channels makes it possible to configure them in detail. The user alone can decide how to use the available logical channels in MultiCon devices. A logical channel can represent data from physical inputs and outputs, process data from other logical channels...

Communication Interfaces Almost every modern electronic measuring instrument is equipped with some type of a communication interface - MultiCon has several of them. The primary type of an interface is USB Host. It allows you to connect the device not only with a standard PC mouse and keyboard, but also an external flash drive and to download recorded data. More interesting, from the point of view of the communication with the environment, is RS-485 interface with Modbus RTU Protocol available in standard equipment. Like other interfaces, RS-485 and RS-232 available in an optional interface module,...

Presentation and data security SCADALite SCADALite functionality is activated by default, allows 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....

Breakthrough in data presentation 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....

Presentation and data security HTML5 and Sidgets The MultiCon line devices equipped with Ethernet port allow also a very easy remote monitoring of measurement results using a web browser, as well as a very attractive graphical presentation in the form of built-in or user-created websites. Along with the device, the manufacturer supplies a set of built-in visual components (Sidgets) which using the HTML5 protocol, provide the programmers with easy mechanisms to retrieve data from the device, as well as ready-to-use formats of data presentation on the computer, tablet or mobile phone screen. Simex...

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 device...
