INTRODUCTION
Your Centipede 2®Temperature Control System supplies a complete network of
temperature control by providing a controller and sensor to EACH heater in a
system. A Centipede 2®Module Unit is a compact PID temperature controller
with RTD feedback. Multiple modules can be networked together with CAT5
communication cables. The Centipede 2®Touchscreen Interface Unit acts as a
Modbus master for up to 128 Centipede 2®Modules. This unit displays real-time
data for all zones and allows a user to modify the major settings, such as set-
point in the Centipede 2®Modules.
For successful operation of this system, read these instructions prior to use.
General Specifications
•PID-auto-tuned control for each zone: Receives set-point through
communication link and stored in nonvolatile memory (retains settings if
power is interrupted)
•Quickly and easily program the following parameters (individually or
globally across system): Temperature set-point, high-limit alarm
temperature, and low-limit alarm temperature
•Operator interface displays actual temperature, power duty cycle of
heater, and time / date stamped alarm messages in real-time.
•Automatically assigned zone addresses
•Up to 3.5 Amps for UL (for C2MOD-C) @ 240VAC per control zone
•Up to 2.0 Amps @ 100VAC to 240VAC for C2MOD-OI-7
•Temperature sensor: RTD Platinum 100 ohm, DIN 385 curve, class B
•Sensor accuracy: ±1.8°F (1.0°C)
•Temperature control range: 0 to 320°C (Displayed in °C)
•Maximum high-limit: 325°C
•Capable of communication with a PLC or external computer
•Ability for data streaming to a central monitoring system
•Alarm latch safety feature: Optional setting for heaters to power off in
the event of an alarm condition. To reactivate, user unlatches heaters
through operator interface or PLC
•Dry contact master alarm relay: NO or NC (Normally Open or Normally
Closed)
•Environmental temperature: 35 to 131°F (2 to 55°C)
•Storage temperature: -40 to 185°F (-40 to 85°C)
•Ambient humidity: 5 to 95% (non-condensing)
•C2MOD-OI-7 is a UL Listed Product on UL File E240000

Quick Start Guide
1) Install all heaters and ensure that the RTD is making good contact with
the object being heated.
2) Connect modules to heaters. Connect each heater’s 6-pin power / RTD
connector to each Centipede 2®module.
3) Connect each module in the string together using CAT5E communication
cables.
4) Connect the first module to the operator interface using any of the
available input strings (1 - 4).
5) Connect plug in the power to the heaters. Turn on operator interface.
6) In the Global Program menu, select “Global Prog/Select String”. Select
the desired string to program. Set all values for low alarm, set-point, and
high alarm. Individual module settings can be adjusted later.
7) Monitor the Centipede 2®system to ensure that each heater achieves its
desired set-point. The time to reach the set-point will vary for each
heater. During this time, you may change individual module settings.
Refer to the rest of this manual for further details and troubleshooting.

INSTALLATION
Connecting C2MOD-C Modules to Heaters
1. Connect the 6-pin connector from the heating
jacket to the C2MOD-C unit. This
connector provides the control power
and RTD temperature sensor input.
2. Plug in the CAT-5 connectors on
each side of the module. These
connections are bi-directional, and
they supply the low voltage power
and communications for the C2MOD-
C.
Connect module to power
connections between the heaters
using plastic tie straps.

OPERATING THE C2MOD-C MODULE
Understanding the Status LED of the C2MOD-C
Each Centipede 2®Module provides basic status of your heater system with its
LED light found on the front.
Green: Temperature is within the high and low limits, and no alarm
conditions exist.
Blinking Red: An alarm condition exists. See Operator Interface for
status message.
Blinking Orange: Module/zone is latched due to alarm latch condition.
See page 24 for Alarm Latch instructions.
Blinking Green: Module/zone disabled.
Off: Power is not supplied.

OPERATING THE CENTIPEDE 2®TOUCHSCREEN USER
INTERFACE
Starting Up
With the power supplied to the Centipede 2®Operator Interface Unit, turn on the
main power switch. The firmware version will initially be shown on the screen.
Zone Discovery
Every time the operator interface unit is powered on, a zone discovery procedure
is executed. This procedure discovers and automatically addresses all of the
zones on the network.
Once complete, touch the screen to continue to the Main Menu.
