GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Model GMSG is a full featured single loop PID controller designed for

use with the Graphite Series. The module accepts low level signals from a

variety of bridge-type transducers, such as load cells, pressure transducers,

torque transducers, etc. An optional second signal input is available, providing

math capabilities between the two input channels (average, differential, etc.).

Each input channel provides a software selectable 5 V or 10 V stable bridge

excitation voltage, capable of driving up to four 350 Ω bridges (combined total

per module). The inputs are selectable for ±20 mV, ±33 mV, or ±200 mV full

scale. With solid state or relay outputs, plus an analog output, the GMSG

module can perform virtually any combination of time-proportioning or linear

control. The discrete outputs may also be assigned to one of seven internal soft

alarms; and the linear output can be assigned to transmit virtually any internal

variable. In addition, digital tare (re-zero), batch totalizer, and peak/valley (max/

min) are provided.

The modules connect and communicate via proprietary USB connection to

the various Graphite host devices. Those devices, equipped with serial ports as

well as Ethernet port(s), allows the system to share data with PCs, PLCs, and

SCADA systems.

Caution should be used when adding modules to Graphite. Some modules,

depending on usage, may consume high levels of power. This may limit the total

number of modules that can be installed on a single Graphite host. Check the

Graphite module and Graphite host data sheets for specific usage and power

requirements.

The GMSG modules are available with relays, or open drain MOSFET

outputs. For applications requiring large loads to be controlled, several DIN rail

mount relays are available.

The modules can operate in On/Off, P, PI, or PID control mode, and use an

on-demand Auto-Tune that establishes the tuning constants. The PID constants

may be fine-tuned through the serial or Ethernet interface. The modules employ

a unique overshoot suppression feature, which allows the quickest response

without excessive overshoot. The modules can also be operated in manual mode,

providing the operator with direct control of the output.

CONFIGURATION

The Graphite Series is configured with Windows

compatible Crimson

software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which provides a

means of configuration and commissioning of new systems, as well as routine

module re-calibration.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the

manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to

prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If

equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other

actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to

persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.
