INITIAL COMMISSIONING STEPS:
1.
Provide power to touchscreen controller. Depending upon configuration this can be Isolated 24VDC
±
15% (PS0), 85-
265 VAC (PS1 or PS1C1D2), Non-Isolated 18 to 75 VDC (PS2) or Non-Isolated 9.5 to 18 VDC (PS3) power type
a.
If unsure about correct location & power type to be provided to unit consult factory to avoid damage!!
2.
Determine desired configuration of sensor types to be used for each of the available six channels. It is not necessary
to setup all sensor channels at time of commissioning. Channels may be added or removed over the course of time if
desired. Note any such changes for any upstream connected PLC, DCS or SCADA.
3.
Setup sensor with correct node & baudrate for channel w/ Windows software or handheld communicator (HHC)
4.
Configure each sensor type from touchschreen controller for the channel to be used.
5.
Plug in HiQDT sensors terminated with HiQ4M male snap connector (or extension cable termianting in the same)
into one of the available HiQ4FP female panel mount connector. It makes no difference which sensor type or channel
is plugged into which port with the HiQDT sensor multi-drop RS-485 MODBUS RTU communications.
6.
If commissioning was successful each channel that was display proper sensor type & live values in main screen.
7.
Wire up analog outputs and contact relays to be used after configuring them from the appropriate screens.
8.
Setup secure remote access with EZAccess 2.0 software. One-time registration is required to Maple Systems.
9.
Setup email notifications for trigger events to prompt when remote login might be advisable when not at site.
The handheld communicator (HHC) can both search for the node
of the connected sensor as well as to modify the node if desired.
Using this battery powered handheld communicator (HHC) to
control the node assignments of the MODBUS RTU sensors
allows for a very convenient field installation scheme for the
commissioning of the advanced touchscreen controllers.
For ongoing maintenance the HHC can modify the sensor node
to the desired value for the channel to which it is to be hot-swap
exchanged in a plug and play manner for ease of field workflow.
