2.3.3 MCT Process Loop Controls
The MCT-CM requires one PID loop control for each process control loop required in the system. Refer to the
operating manual for the model loop control being used for dimensions, appropriate mounting and operating
conditions.
For applications requiring several loops of control, proper planning and arrangement of the process controls
prior to mounting is critical for optimum routing of the control wiring. For applications requiring frequent access
to the process controls, panel mounting provides direct access. For applications where operator access to the
controls is not required, or is desired to be kept at a minimum, the control can be mounted directly inside of an
enclosure. This also reduces wiring concerns by eliminating the need to run the sensor, communication and
control wiring for each control to and from an enclosure door.
2.3.4 MCT Process Monitor Modules
The monitor module as shown below, mounts directly onto an industry standard DIN rail. Field sensor wiring is
on the front of the module via a removable connector. The module power and RS485 communications wiring
is on a separate, removable connector located on the bottom side of the housing.
Allow at least 25mm
(1”) in front of and below the module to accommodate the wiring. Ensure that enough
space is available above and below the module for adequate ventilation.
