OVERVIEW
The ConsoliDator+ is a multi-channel controller that is both easy to use and satises a wide variety of process display, alarm
and control applications. It accepts 4-20 mA inputs, ow meter pulse inputs, digital inputs, and Modbus RTU inputs and
displays them both in numeric and bargraph format on a large, 5.7" color display. It can be equipped with multiple relays with
user-denable actions, 4-20 mA outputs, digital outputs, Modbus RTU, and Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP protocol communication
capabilities. Additionally, the controller is equipped with up to 32 timers that can be used to control many processes or events.
The ConsoliDator+ takes full advantage of its color display by allowing the user to customize screen colors for bargraphs, alarm
conditions, and input channels.
All this functionality is easily programmed using free software or via the front panel pushbuttons. Choose the model that best
suits your application, from monitoring only to fully loaded controllers with an extensive combination of inputs, outputs and
communication protocols. The standard product o󰀨ering is listed in the ordering guide and other models are available for
special order.
SCREENS
The ConsoliDator+ can be programmed to display the data on up to 20 di󰀨erent screens in a variety of formats and colors, with
and without bargraphs. The following screens show a typical main screen and channel details screen:

INPUTS & OUTPUTS
The back panel is labeled with the I/O boards that were installed at the factory. The removable connectors are labeled with the
connection signal for each terminal. The following diagram shows what the back of the model PD9000-GP-4PI-8AI-10AO-10RY
looks like. This model accepts (4) pulse and (8) analog inputs and has (10) 4-20 mA outputs and (10) relays. (5) digital inputs, (4)
digital outputs, RS-485 serial capability and USB connections are standard on all ConsoliDator+ models. Ethernet is an option.
If all Input / Output slots are used exclusively for one function, the ConsoliDator+ can accept up to (28) isolated 4-20 mA inputs,
(28) pulse inputs, (25) isolated 4-20 mA outputs, and (25) relays. If used as a Modbus slave only: (35) 4-20 mA outputs, (30) relays.
All units can be powered from AC or DC; both power connections can be used at the same time. The DC power supply can serve
as backup power if the voltage is 24 V or less, otherwise the controller will run on DC power.

SETTING CHANNEL PARAMETERS
What makes the ConsoliDator+ easy to program is its intuitive setup screens. As shown in the rst image below, the setup screen
allows you to see all the relevant information you need when creating or editing a channel - all on one screen! When creating
a new channel, the channel number is auto-generated for you. All you have to do is populate the appropriate elds such as
the channel tag name, function, input, and units. Scaling the inputs and outputs, selecting number of decimals, and turning the
bargraph on/o󰀨 and inputing its values are also programmed from this screen. Multiple colors can also be selected for the text,
background and bargraphs to customize the look of the display screens. During programming, the soft keys will change based
on the screen in place. For instance, pressing the edit key will bring up the letters/numbers key pad and appropriate navigation
keys will appear (Shown in the bottom image). See the PD9000 manual for details on setup and programming.

FREE CONSOLIDATOR+ CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
The easiest and quickest way to program your ConsoliDator+
multivariable controller is to use the FREE ConsoliDator+
conguration software.
The ConsoliDator+ conguration software is intuitive, and most
customers can get their controller programmed as they like
without even looking in the manual.
Once your controller is programmed the way you want it, you can
wire it up for your application per the instructions in this manual
and install it. If you nd that you need to adjust the programming
after the controller is installed, you can use the front panel soft
keys and the instructions in the manual to do so.

Digital Input Connections
Inputs are wired between terminals 1-5 of the digital input

above the digital inputs. Normally open switch contacts may
be used as shown in Figure 6. The diagram also shows a
Digital Input using an NPN open collector transistor output
from a live signal. Logic LO or switch closure appearing
across the terminals is interpreted as ON. When using an
open collector transistor, a logic HI at the base (marked “B” in
Figure 6) will be interpreted as ON. The 2-position connector
has a +5 V terminal that may be used to provide excitation to
some sensors requiring more than the pull-up provided on
each digital input terminal.

Relay Connections
Relay connections are made to three-terminal connectors
labeled individually. There are ve relays per card.
Switching Inductive Loads
The ConsoliDator+ has internal circuitry to protect the relays
from inductive loads, however, the use of suppressors
(snubbers) is strongly recommended when switching
inductive loads to prevent disrupting the microprocessor’s
operation. The suppressors also prolong the life of the
relay contacts. Suppression can be obtained with resistor-
capacitor (RC) networks assembled by the user or purchased
as complete assemblies. Refer to the following circuits for RC
network assembly and installation.

For additional external protection choose R and C as

C: 0.5 to 1 µF for each amp through closed contacts
Notes:
1. Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC.
2. RC networks may a󰀨ect load release time of solenoid
loads. Check to conrm proper operation.
3. Install the RC network at the instrument's relay screw
terminals. An RC network may also be installed
across the load. Experiment for best results.

RC networks are available from Precision Digital and should
be applied to each relay contact switching an inductive load.
Part number: PDX6901.
Serial Communication Connections
The RS-485 port for serial communication (using Modbus
protocol) has three terminals labeled D+, D-, and G. It is
strongly recommended to use three-wire shielded cable
and to always connect the ground terminal to the other
equipment’s ground to avoid di󰀨erential voltage between
the systems. Distances up to 4000 feet can be reached with
RS-485. Up to 32 Modbus devices may be connected to a
single RS-485 bus.

Lantronix’s Website at www.lantronix.com/products/

Totalizer Inputs: Calculates total based on selected rate channel,
pulse input, digital input, or triggered event for non-rate channels.
Total is stored in non-volatile memory if power is lost.
Maximum Total: 18 digits, 999,999,999,999,999,999
Rate Channel Input: 4-20 mA input, Pulse input, Modbus input

Total Units Conversion : Input: Rate channel
Total units may be different than rate units. Use the custom units to
convert to any unit (e.g. Gallons to MGal: Factor = 0.000001)
Pulse Input K-Factor: K-Factor = pulses/units of measure
Calculates total directly from pulse input or from rate channel
Decimals: 0 to 15
Count Down: Total may be setup to count down
Preset Value: Enter the preset value to count up or down
Reset total sets total to the preset value; to reset to zero uncheck
the Preset box.

Example: Roll-Over = 1,000,000
Total goes to 0 after 1 million
Negative Total: Allow total value to count below 0 for bi-directional
