6 •Introduction M6000 Controller

The M6000 Controller
About the M6000
The M6000 industrial controller is built on a PC-compatible architecture.
The controller is encased in a water-resistant stainless steel housing rated
to IP67 standards. The controller’s user-friendly display is a 15” 1024 x
768 pixel LCD color monitor and a very tough touch screen designed to
withstand the harshest treatment.
The controller is mounted on a stainless steel wall bracket with a tilting
option. The bracket can be fastened with screws on other equipment or on
a tabletop.
Initial Inspection
Prior to use, inspect the controller for damages incurred during shipment.
If the controller has been damaged, contact your local Marel service
center immediately.
Cleaning
Note: A thorough daily rinse of the controller is very important to help
prevent corrosion and rust problems. Use clean cold water. Never rinse
with seawater.
•Clean the controller with detergents approved for use in the food
industry. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Hardware Manual, vers. 2.00 The M6000 Controller •7

•Do not use excessively strong solutions of detergent. The use of
chlorine can cause rust spots to appear on the stainless steel.
•Do not use high-pressure jets on the controller. Instead, use low
water pressure or pour water over by hand.
Detergents
The acidity of detergents used on Marel equipment should preferably be
pH 12-13.
Strong base solutions are the main ingredients in most cleaning agents,
for example potassium hydroxide (KOH) or caustic soda (NaOH).
Because of its corrosive effects, caustic soda is not a desirable detergent
for the M6000. If possible, use detergent solutions with KOH instead.
Always use detergents according to the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not use a detergent containing sodium hypochlorite for daily
cleaning. Sodium hypochlorite is a common ingredient in detergents, but
as it contains chlorine it should be used with great care because of
chlorine’s corrosive effect on stainless steel.
Daily cleaning
•Use high alkaline foaming detergent, ph 1% 12-13, for regular
daily cleaning. Do not use a detergent containing sodium
hypochlorite for daily cleaning. The foaming detergent must be
selected carefully and should contain some corrosion inhibitors
and preferably potassium hydroxide (KOH) instead of sodium
hydroxide (NaOH).
•Spray the detergent on all surface areas and leave to work for
approximately 20 minutes. Rinse the detergent off.
•To kill any remaining bacteria, it is necessary to finish the daily
cleaning procedure by spraying a quarternary ammonium
solution over the area and onto surfaces (after drying), using a
300 ppm active ingredient.
•Before you resume processing the next morning or after breaks,
rinse the quarternary ammonium solution off surfaces in contact
with the raw material using clean water.
Disinfectants
When choosing a disinfecting agent, please note that chlorine corrodes
stainless steel. Chlorine is, however, an effective disinfectant, so
occasional use of chlorine may be necessary to control the growth of
microorganisms.
Marel recommends the following procedure:
8 •The M6000 Controller M6000 Controller

•Use chlorine to disinfect once a week after performing the
regular cleaning with a high alkaline foaming detergent.
•Make sure the strength of chlorine does not exceed 200 ppm.
•Spray the disinfectant on surfaces and leave to work for
approximately 30 minutes.
•After disinfecting, carefully rinse the equipment.
•On days when chlorine is not used, use a disinfectant containing
quarter ammonium compounds instead.
•Make sure the strength of quarter ammonium compounds does
not exceed 750 ppm.
Note: Rotating different disinfectants (e. g. chlorine, peracid or acid-
anionic) in your hygiene program may ensure more effective sanitation.
As chlorine evaporates very quickly, its disinfecting effects will fade
soon after it is sprayed on the equipment. Letting chlorine stay on the
equipment will not improve the disinfecting effect, but only damage the
equipment. Quarter ammonium compounds are considerably more stable
and are active for a much longer time. Therefore, the benefit of leaving
them on the equipment for an extended period of time is much greater.
Training staff
It is important that new cleaning personnel receive proper training and
are made aware of areas on the equipment which are difficult to clean.

The User Interface
Figure 1 M6000 Controller, front view.
Because the controller is designed to run any Windows®or Linux®
based applications1, the M6000 user interface in the context of this
manual is the touch screen itself.
The rating plate at the bottom of the touch screen shows the controller’s
production serial number, voltage and current rating.
The LED status indicator on the touch screen indicates the status of
M6000:
Green: normal operation
Yellow (red + green): screen saver active or no VGA signal
Red: fault

Connecting Ready-made Cables Inside M6000
The M6000 user (installer) can put ready-made cables with connectors
through the glands on the M6000. This is easily done, for example with
Ethernet cables, USB cables and keyboard cables, because the glands are
equipped with a split insert specifically intended for such cases (see
Figure 2).

The M6000 Hardware
Figure 3 M6000 Controller, inside view.
The hardware inside the M6000 consists of two printed circuit boards and
a TFT display. The hard disk and the 110-230 Vac power supply are
optional components, available in some M6000 controller types.
The printed circuit boards in M6000 are:
1 The CPU board. It contains the microprocessor and all the
communication interfaces which are described in Figure 4.
The green PS/2 mouse port is reserved for the touch screen.
Other ports are available to the M6000 user.

•24 Vdc power input
•ATX connector power output
•Power-on switch connector output
•24 V temperature regulated heater output connector
•Display backlight connector
•CompactFlash socket of TYPE II for CompactFlash
or IBM Microdrive
•IDE (ATA) connector connected to the Compact-
Flash socket
•Touch screen connector
•PS/2 mouse data output connector from the touch
screen
•Push buttons for screen adjustments
•Display connector for connecting the TFT display

Hardware Manual, vers. 2.00 The M6000 Controller •13

A power-on switch cable between the V6000 board and the CPU board
is necessary for starting the CPU board. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the
power-on switch cable connection.
Figure 6 M6000 Controller, power-on switch cable connection between the V6000 board
and the CPU board.
Figure 7 M6000 Controller, power-on switch cable connection on the CPU board.
The V6000 board is equipped with a CompactFlash socket. The socket is
of type II and fits a CompactFlash card and an IBM micro drive. If it
becomes necessary to use the CompactFlash socket in the M6000, the
IDE connector beside the CompactFlash socket must be connected to the
CPU board with an IDE flat cable. A jumper above the CompactFlash
socket decides whether the CompactFlash device is to be set up as master
or slave on the IDE bus.
14 •The M6000 Controller M6000 Controller

The master/slave jumper functions as follows:
Master: Jumper open
Slave: Jumper closed (shorted)

Display Settings
There are several push buttons on the V6000 board:
•four push buttons, up, down, left, right, for centering the
picture on the M6000 display
•two optional HSIZE buttons +/– for adjusting the horizontal
size of the picture
•the PHASE push button for adjusting the display focus.
In most cases it is not necessary for the M6000 user to center the picture
or adjust the horizontal size or focus of the picture. These adjustments are
already done at the factory.
For default display settings, simultaneously press the right, left and up
picture centering buttons.

For best results when adjusting the focus on the M6000 display, use the
file C:\M6000_WIN_TOOLS\BackGround_Pictures\test [1].bmp as a
centered background picture and press the PHASE button in steps until
the center of the test [1].bmp picture is clear.
The test [1].bmp picture is also ideal for centering the M6000 display.

Applying Power to the M6000
The M6000 does not have an On/Off switch, because it is preferable to
keep power on the M6000 at all times. Constant power generates heat
that will prevent moisture from condensing in the M6000.
♦Therefore, for initial start of the M6000 controller, simply plug the
electrical cord into the nearest suitable power outlet.
After power has been applied, the M6000 starts up.
