2. G ENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The MultiCon CMC- 16 is a sophisticated multichannel unit which allows a
simultaneous measurement, visualisation and control of numerous channels. This device can
operate autonomously or in cooperation with external measurement devices and actuators.
Essential features of the MultiCon CMC- 16 are listed and briefly described below.
• Advanced processing unit and system based on LINUX
The powerful MultiCon CMC- 16 processor allows the device to run under the control of
a LINUX operating system. Such a solution makes the firmware flexible and gives the
possibility of a simultaneous operation of many processes (such as: measurement,
communication, visualisation). The use of LINUX also makes software independent of
installed hardware.
• Color TFT display with Touch-panel
The MultiCon CMC- 16 displays all data and dialogue on a legible, 320x240 pixels, color
TFT screen. Full control of the device is realised using the built-in touch-panel which
makes operating the MultiCon CMC- 16 easy and intuitive.
• Hardware flexibility and a large variety of possible configurations
MultiCon CMC- 16 is designed as a modular device consisting of a base and optional
input and output modules. The base contains:
– main processor,
– display with touch-screen,
– Switch Mode Power Supply
• 19V...24...50V DC, 1 V...24...35V AC
• 85V...230...2 0V,
– basic communication interfaces (USB and RS485).
– three blocks (marked as A, B, C) designed for installation of input and output
hardware configurations.

• Full freedom of data sources, presentation modes and controlling methods
The multi level structure of the MultiCon CMC- 16 firmware allows to select presented
data sources, presentation modes and controlling methods. The MultiCon CMC- 16
displays the values of virtual logical channels which can be fed with:
– measurement data from built-in physical channels,
– measurement data from remote channels (other devices connected to the MultiCon
CMC- 16 by RS-485 interface),
– output states and quantities (looped back results of controlling processes),
– generate profiles/timers or also the mathematical combination of one or more
logical channels.
All of these can be freely named and described by the user, and presented in many
forms:
– as numerical values,
– vertical and horizontal charts,
– vertical and horizontal bars,
– as needle graphs.
Every logical channel (visualised or not) can be used as input data for one or more
controlling processes. The MultiCon CMC- 16 implements many different controlling
methods:
– above a defined level,
– below a defined level,
– within a defined range,
– out of a defined range,
– PID control.

appropriate connectors in the unit, even if they are not used for any connections.
- Unused terminals must not be used for connecting any connecting cables
(e.g. as bridges), because this can cause damage to the equipment or
electric shock.
- If the unit is equipped with a housing, covers and sealing to protect against water
intrusion, pay special attention to their correct tightening or clamping. In case of
any doubt consider using additional preventive measures (covers, roofing, seals,
etc.). Carelessly executed assembly can increase the risk of electric shock.
- After the installation is completed do not touch the unit’s connections when it is
switched on, because it brings the risk of electric shock.
Due to possible significant interference in industrial installations appropriate measures
assuring correct operation of the unit must be applied. To avoid, the unit of improper
indications, keep recommendations listed below.

• Avoid running signal cables and transmission cables together with power supply cables
and cables controlling inductive loads (e.g. contactors). Such cables should cross each
other at a right angle.
• Contactor coils and inductive loads should be equipped with interference protection
systems, e.g. RC-type.
• Use of screened signal cables is recommended. Signal cable screens should be
connected to the earthing only at one of the ends of the screened cable.
• In case of magnetically induced interference the use of twisted pair signal cables is
recommended. Twisted pair (best if shielded) must be used with RS-485 serial
transmission connections.
• If measurement or control signals are longer than 30m or go outside of the building, then
additional safety circuits are required.
• In case of interference from the power supply side, the use of appropriate interference
filters is recommended. Bear in mind that the connection between the filter and the unit
should be as short as possible and the metal housing of the filter must be connected to
the earth with the largest possible surface. The cables connected to the filter output must
not be run together with cables with interference (e.g. circuits controlling relays or
contactors).
Connections of power supply voltage and measurement signals are performed using the
screw connections at the back of the unit’s housing (see Fig. 4.7).
