Overview The mAI085-MB Actuator Interface is an interface between the control room operator and a network of Actuator Controllers. The interface is capable of controlling up to 100 actuators, either on a single network of up to 31 controllers or through a series of network drops utilizing RS485 repeaters. The interface allows for the pre-setting of setpoints for each of the actuators. An open key opens all of the actuators to their preset setpoints. A close key closes all of the actuators. A clear pushbutton sets all of the actuator setpoints to zero (fully closed). The interface has optional features that allow the control of a conveying system. Timers are provided which can delay the start of the actuator opening to allow a conveying system to start. A second timer allows the conveying system to purge after closing all of the actuators. Individual timers for each actuator allow for the distance between conveying system entry points. The interface will open and close each actuator in sequence to provide superior blending. The interface communicates to the actuator controllers using the Modbus RS485 RTU protocol. A Modbus RS232 RTU communications interface is provided for connection to a host computer or PLC. The status information from all 100 actuators is available to the host computer or PLC over this Modbus network. In addition, the interfaces front panel operators and enunciators are mimicked over this network. To facilitate configuration of the interface and the attached actuators a menu driven setup system is provided. A table of parameters is saved for each actuator. The system allows the retrieval and downloading of actuator parameters individually or for the entire network. A facility is provided to backup the configuration to a TAB delimited file suitable for editing using Excel.

Using the Interface The controller has an easy to use keyboard for selecting and controlling the connected actuators. 4.1 Selecting an Actuator Controller Use the upper up or down keys to select the actuator. The right keys move between the actuator one at a time. The left keys skip actuators at a time. The upper display indicates which actuator is selected. The SCAN key allows the viewing of all connected actuators at one second intervals. Pressing the SCAN key or any of the upper up/down keys can cancel scan. 4.2 Changing a Setpoint The lower up/down keys change the setpoint for the selected actuator. The first press of any of the up or down keys switches the lower display to the setpoint mode and the SV lamp will illuminate. The right keys change the setpoint by 1. The left keys change the setpoint by 10. The setpoint will not be saved and sent to the actuator until the SET key is pressed. If the SET key is not pressed within 10 seconds, the display reverts to PV mode and the new setpoint is discarded. …Caution… If it is required that all the actuators respond simultaneously to the new setpoints, then first insure that the interface is in close mode before making any changes to the setpoints. The command to move the actuator is only sent when a setpoint has changed or the operating mode is changed from closed to open. Pressing the SET key with the same setpoint value as the previous move will not start a move operation. 4.3 Opening the Actuators Pressing the OPEN key opens all actuators with a setpoint above 0. The OPEN indicator light will illuminate. The STATUS display will indicate the status of the current open operation for the selected actuator. 4.4 Closing the Actuators Pressing the CLOSE key closes all actuators to a setpoint of 0. The CLOSE indicator light will illuminate. The STATUS display will indicate the status of the current close operation for the selected actuator. Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /10 4.5 Clearing the Setpoints The CLEAR key allows the clearing of all actuator setpoints. The first press of the CLEAR key illuminates the CLEAR lamp. The second press of the key clears all actuator setpoints to 0. If the key in not pressed a second time within 10 seconds, the lamp will extinguish and the setpoints will not Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /11 5. Configuration The mAI085-MB Actuator Interface is configured using a menu driven interface. The operator keyboard changes function during configuration. This section will describe the configuration of the interface. The description will first define the keyboard functions, then describe the configuration menus used. 5.1 Overview of System Configuration Each actuator connected to the Interface has parameters that control its operation. These parameters are stored in non-volatile memory at each actuator. These parameters can be modified using the keyboard of the Interface. The Interface can also store in its internal nonvolatile memory, a copy of the parameters from each actuator. The following table defines the steps used to set the actuator parameters and calibrate each actuator controller. Step Function Action at Interface Action at Actuator Controller 1 Load Factory Default Values for the Interface using the Factory Values Menu.. All internal Interface parameters are overwritten with the factory default values no action 2 Using the Controller Menu, set the iD and adjust the parameters as required for controller 1. Parameters for actuator controller 1 are adjusted in the Interface parameter table no action 3 Using the Controller Menu, Snd the adjusted parameters to controller 1. no action Parameters at actuator controller 1 are overwritten with values from the Interface 4 From the Controller Menu, calibrate controller 1, using the CAL function. no action Calibration parameters are adjusted by the actuator controller 5 Test the configuration by exercising controller 1 Open and close the gate to several positions including fully open and fully closed and verify the limit switch operation if used Controller will position the gate Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /12 Step Function Action at Interface Action at Actuator Controller 6 From the Controller Menu, use the GEt function to upload the calibrated parameters from controller 1. Parameters for controller 1 in the Interface parameter table are overwritten with values from the actuator controller no action 7 From the Controller Menu, use the tPL Parameters for function to set the values from controller controller 1 in the Interface parameter 1 as a template table are stored in a temporary template register no action 6 Using the Factory Values Menu, propagate the parameters from controller 1 to the remaining controllers within the Interface. Parameters for actuator controllers 1100 in the Interface’s parameter table are overwritten with the values from the template no action 7 From the Main Menu, save the values using the SAv command. Performing the SAv now insures that the Interface’s parameter table will not be lost should power need to be cycled during the remaining steps. You may perform a SAv at any time during system setup. Parameters are saved to non-volatile memory in the Interface no action 8 From the Main Menu, use the Fnd function to locate the remaining controllers on the network. Exit calibration mode and confirm that all of the installed actuator controllers are present on the network. If installed controllers are not present, check field address settings and wiring and Fnd again until all of the controllers are found. All active flags are cleared, then set for those actuator controllers located on the network; controller 1 is always set to active no action Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /13 Step Function Action at Interface Action at Actuator Controller From the Main Menu perform a Snd function to send the previously saved parameters to the remaining controllers. no action Parameters for all active actuator controllers on the network are overwritten with values from the Interface 10. From the Controller Menu, set the iD for each of the remaining controllers. ID parameter is overwritten for each actuator no action 11 Using the Controller Menu, Calibrate each of the remaining controllers using the CAL function. no action Calibration parameters are adjusted by the actuator controller 12 From the Main Menu perform a GEt function to retrieve the calibrated parameters from all of the connected actuator controllers. Interface parameters are overwritten with the values from all active actuator controllers no action 13 From the Main Menu, save the parameters using the SAv command Parameters are saved to non-volatile memory no action 9 Once you have completed this sequence, all of the actuator controllers will be calibrated and their parameters saved in the Interface’s non-volatile memory. This allows an actuator controller to be replaced and reconfigured with the parameter values saved in the Interface by using the Snd command from the Controller Menu.

Press to return to last menu or from the main menu, to exit configuration mode. 5.3 Configuration Menus There are four level of menus within the configuration system. The keyboard operation remains the same for all of the menus. Menu items are selected using the upper right arrow keys. The SCAN key is used to move back one level in the menu tree. To exit configuration the SCAN key is pressed from the Main Menu. There are 2 typical responses to a menu item. The first is a Yes/No response. The lower right keys select YES (up arrow) and no (down arrow). The second is to modify the value displayed by the menu item. The lower arrow keys serve 2 functions when modifying values. The left arrow keys positions the flashing cursor to the digit to be modified. The right arrow keys increase or decrease the value. Any changes made to the selected items are immediate. The interface has non-volatile storage for the system parameters. A modification to the parameters using the menus does not update this non-volatile storage directly. Be sure to backup any changes using the SAv function from the Main Menu before removing power from the interface. Each time power is cycled, the interface restores the saved values from non-volatile memory. Any changes made will be lost if power is cycled before a SAv operation has been completed. Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /16 5.3.1 Main Menu The Main Menu allows the selection of several sub-menus and selection of the global parameter functions.

The menu items allow the selection of the actuator controller model, speed of actuator operation and actuator accuracy. When the save function from this menu is executed all of the controller ID’s will be reset to A1 – A100 and all of the controllers except controller 1 will be made inactive. If no selections are made for tyP, SPd or ACC then the values from controller 1 will be used as defaults. If a SAv is executed without tyP, SPd or ACC being set, the settings for controller 1 will be propagated to all of the remaining controllers, the controller ID’s will be reset to A1 – A100 and all of the controllers except controller 1 will be made inactive. There are two ways to execute a factory reload. The first is to utilize a preset factory table. This table contains known working values for all of the parameters suitable for most installations. To select the correct tables for the actuator controller you are using, first use tyP, SPd and ACC to select the model of your controller, the running speed of the actuator and the required position accuracy. The required configuration can then be saved using the Sav function. The second method of saving default values uses a template that can be preset with a modified set of values based on an individual actuator controller. To use this function, first setup and test an individual actuator controller. Once the operation of this controller has been verified use the template function (tPL) in the controller menu (CtL) to load the parameter template buffer. To save this template buffer to all of the remaining controllers, do not select a type, speed or accuracy, instead proceed directly to Sav function. Once select this function will save the template parameter values to the Interface’s parameter table for all100 controllers. Note these tables are not automatically sent to the actuator controllers. Use the global Snd command to move the Interface’s parameter table to the active controllers. Display Function Response tyP Selects the model of actuator controller connected to the interface 185,165 145,125, nonE SPd Sets the full stroke speed of the actuator in seconds. Use the first value that is longer than your actuators full movement speed. 10,30,60, none ACC Select the position accuracy required. SAv Selecting YES will load the selected values to all 100 controller parameter storage locations. Note that the new values are not automatically downloaded to the networked actuator controllers. Use the Snd command to send the parameters to the actuator controllers. 0-10 YES/no ***************************** WARNING ******************************* All existing values will be overwritten and are not recoverable *************************************************************************** Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /23 5.3.6 Diagnostics Menu The mTI085 has a built in diagnostics system.

The Input / Output System The mAI085-MB Actuator Interface has 4 discrete inputs and 4 discrete outputs. Figure 2 and Table 2 detail the physical connections to the discrete signals. Each of the signals is described below: Name Description Input 1 Pin 1 Energizing this input will select Open mode and turn on the OPEN indicator on the front panel. Only the positive edge of the input signal is recognized and the input must be de-energized between operations. Once energized, this input does not affect front panel operator function. Input 2 Pin 2 Energizing this input will select Close mode and turn on the CLOSE indicator on the front panel. Only the positive edge of the input signal is recognized and the input must be de-energized between operations. Once energized, this input does not affect front panel operator function. Input 3 Pin 3 Energizing this input will clear all of the actuators setpoints. The clear will occur immediately. Only the positive edge of the input signal is recognized and the input must be de-energized between operations. Once energized, this input does not affect front panel operator function. Input 4 Pin 4 Energizing this input forces all of the actuators closed immediately. The actuators will remain closed regardless of the controller being in Open mode. Open/Close mode is not affected by this input and the actuators will re-open when this input is de-energized if the interface is in Open mode. Open/Close timers are ignored by this input and the force close will override any timing function in progress. Output 1 Pins 1 & 2 This output can have 2 functions depending on the setting of the oPL timer. If the oPL timer is set to 0, this output will energize whenever the interface is in Open mode. The output remains energized until the mode is changed to Close. If a value has been entered into the oPL timer, this output will energize for the length of time set by the oPL time, each time the Open mode is selected. This form of operation can be used as a start signal for a conveying system. Output 2 Pins 3 & 4 This output can have several functions depending on the setting of the cPL and cDL timers. If the cPL timer is set to 0, this output will energize whenever the interface is in Close mode. The output remains energized until the mode is changed to Open. If a value has been entered into the cPL timer, this output will energize for the length of time set by the cPL time, each time the Close mode is selected. This form of operation can be used as a stop signal for a conveying system. The energizing of this output will be delayed if a value other than 0 is set in the oDL timer. The oDL timer can be used to purge a conveying system after all of the actuator gates have been closed using the Close mode. Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /26 Name Description Output 3 Pins 5 & 6 This output will be energized any time all of the actuator setpoints are 0. The output de-energizes whenever a non-zero setpoint is entered into any of the actuators. Output 4 Pins 7 & 8 This output is energized whenever an internal fault is detected in the mAI085-MB Actuator Interface. Possible faults are invalid parameter table (checksum verification failed during startup), corrupted firmware or damaged hardware. ***************************** WARNING ******************************************** Operation of the mAI085-MB Actuator Interface may be unpredictable when this contact is energized. ***************************************************************************************** Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /27 7. Controlling Conveying Systems The mAI085-MB Actuator Interface allows the direct control of simple conveying systems. The interface has several timers that facilitate this control. These timers in conjunction with the discrete output system control the conveying system. The following timers are used: ID Description Menu oPL Provides a pulsed output from Output 1 to start a conveying system. If this value is set to 0, Output 1 will remain on continuously whenever the OPEN lamp is on. If a value is set in this timer the output will pulse on for the time selected in seconds each time the OPEN lamp turns on. LoC cPL Provides a pulsed output from Output 2 to stop a conveying system. If this value is set to 0, Output 2 will remain on continuously whenever the CLOSE lamp is on. If a value is set in this timer the output will pulse on for the time selected in seconds each time the CLOSE lamp turns on. The operation of the output will be delayed if a value is entered into the cdL timer. LoC odL Delays the opening of the actuators to allow the conveying system to fully start. Output 1 will energize (or pulse if oPL is set) immediately upon the OPEN lamp illuminating. The actuators will begin to open after this delay in seconds. This timer starts immediately upon entering Open mode. LoC cdL Delays the stopping of the conveying system until all of the gates are closed and the system has been purged. This timer starts after the CLOSE lamp illuminates and all of the gates have been issued close commands. Once this timer expires, Output 2 will energize (or pulse if cPL is set). LoC odL This timer allows for the different location of each actuator along a conveying system. Actuators near the start of the conveying system must open first, with each successive actuator opening a short time latter. This ensures an accurate blend of the material. Each actuator has a timer that delays the opening after the primary delay odL has expired. CtL cdL This timer allows for the different location of each actuator along a conveying system. Actuators near the start of the conveying system must close first, with each successive actuator closing a short time latter. This ensures an accurate blend of the material. Each actuator has a timer that delays the closing when the interface enters Close mode.

Using the Modbus Network Interface The mAI085-MB incorporates a RTU Slave Mobus interface. This interface responds to only 3 Modbus slave commands. The commands are 3 - Read Holding Registers, 6 - Write One Holding Register and 16 - Write Multiple Holding Registers. The Modbus protocol allows a maximum of 125 Register Reads and 100 Register Writes in a single transaction. The following tables provide the register assignments for the Modbus interface. The command register within the interface mimics the operation of the front panel keys and discrete inputs. 8.1 The Modbus Serial Interface The physical connection is by a RS-232 port. The unit has a DB9 female connector, wired as a DCE device. A modem or pin to pin cable can be used to connect the unit to a standard DTE port. The connector pin-out is: Pin Function at DTE device 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 DCD - always +9VDC TX - data from mAI085-MB RX - data to the mAI085-MB DTR - not used Common DSR - always +9VDC RTS - not used CTS - always +9VDC RI - not used The unit supports 8 bit, even, odd or no parity in RTU mode. A full range of baud rates from 300 -19200 are supported. 8.2 Register Assignments 8.2.1 Read Only Registers Two registers are assigned to each addressed controller. The mAI085-MB can address up to 100 controllers, starting from address 1 to address 100. Each addressed controller corresponds to the following register table: Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /30 Register Function 40002 40003 40004 40005 40006 40007 ~ 40200 40201 Controller 1 Process value Controller 1 Status Controller 2 Process value Controller 2 Status Controller 3 Process value Controller 3 Status ~ Controller 100 Process value Controller 100 Status The controller process value is a 12 bit unsigned integer. The process value will occupy bits 0 11 of the process value word. The factory set range of the process value will be from 0 - 100, signifying 0 - 100%. The controller status word definition is as follows: Bit Function 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Input 1 (Force Close) , 1 = input lamp off Input 2 (Closed Limit) , 1 = input lamp off Input 3 (Open Limit) , 1 = input lamp off Input 4 (not assigned), 1 = input lamp off Seek in progress, 1 = seeking Motor running, 1 = running Motor direction, 1 = close not used, always 0 Position fault, 1 = did not reach position Over fault, always 0, not implement in mGP145 Idle Load fault, always 0 not implement in mGP145 Parameter fault, 1 = parameters corrupted Firmware fault, 1 = controller failed Bad command, 1 = last command invalid Calibration mode, 1 = in calibration mode Communications fault, 1 = no communications Distributive Intelligence CMC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS LTD mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /31 8.2.2 Read-Write Registers Each controller has one register for the setpoint value. The setpoint value will occupy bits 0 11 of the setpoint value word. The factory set range of the setpoint value will be from 0 - 100, signifying 0 - 100%. Writing a setpoint to the setpoint register will cause the actuator controller to immediately position the actuator. The value in the setpoint register must change to initiate a move. If the actuator faulted in the last attempted move, a different setpoint value will have to be written to force a new move. The actuator will only move if the interface OPEN indicator is on. Open mode can be selected by pressing the OPEN key. The interface can be configured to start in open mode from the local menu and open mode can be forced over the Modbus communications system through the interface command register.
