- Control system from 16th as standard up to 254 transmitters
- Large 7" LCD shows real-time gas concentrations, sensor information and alarms
- Cooperation with state-of-the-art digital sensors via Modbus RTU, 4-20mA output as option
- Complete calibration functionality
- Non-volatile memory retains all configuration data
- Discrete channel alarm relays from 3 up to 16, depending on version
DESCRIPTION
The MB Controller offers premier performance and functionality in a standalone controller. The functionality bases on expanded PLC witch can manage a wide range of services. From sixteen to two hundred fifty four channels, the MB is designed to provide operators the most detailed, real-time information about gas concentrations throughout the facility. Information is relayed via a large LCD that shows real-time gas concentrations, sensor location, sensor type, alarms and historical data trends.
Each MB channel has two independent, user-programmable alarm threshold values that allow for flexibility in alarm notification. When alarms occur, operators are notified via LED alarm indicators on the front panel, clearly showing the location and status of the alarm. Two internal relays can be utilized to control fans, horns, or beacons when alarm thresholds in specific areas are exceeded.
ATTENTION:
The system is dedicated primarily to cooperation with existing, installed smart gas sensors C3-NET serie. In the case of design and installation of a new detection system, it is recommended to use MGS-500 or C3-NET sensors equipped with digital Modbus outputs, plugged to MB or ASIX control system. The digital Modbus signal, unlike the analog 4-20 mA signal, is a non-modifiable and undeniable signal that guarantees above-average information security.
