Configuring the MCT-MC
With only one loop control board powered on or connected to the MC via the communications link, press the
Loop Number field and enter the address to assign to the attached loop control. Once entered, press the
“Assign Address” button and the utility will begin scanning for the loop control board and set its address to the
one entered once found. If the utility fails to set the address, check the wiring to insure it is properly connected.
If the loop control board has been previously used for another application, it may be possible that the address
or other communications settings have been changed, which prevent the utility from working. In this case, a
display module must be connected to the loop control board to set the proper communications settings:
Address:
1 to 10 (for loop 1 to 10)
Baud rate: 9600
Parity:
Even
IMPORTANT:
The loop input number corresponds to the communications address that must be set in the
loop control board for the MC to access it properly. If the communications address is not set
properly in the loop control, the MC will not be able to communicate with it, or may communicate
with the wrong loop control and assign incorrect values for the loop.
4.3 Loop Configuration
The Loop Configuration screen is accessed from the Setup menu. The screen provides access to all loop
control board settings. When more than one loop is configured, the left/right scroll buttons will be provided at
the top right of the screen. These buttons are used to scroll through all available loop controls in order to
view/edit settings for each.
The model and version of the loop control attached will be shown in the scroll list header. To view all of the
available settings, simply swipe up or down on the screen to scroll through the list items. To edit a value, tap
the row for the desired item. If the entry is a simple numeric value, the number entry pad will be shown. If the
item has multiple selections to choose from, a list of individual selections for the item will be shown.
IMPORTANT:
Care should be taken when configuring loop controls as automatic ramp/soak programs may
be downloaded to any loop configured in the system. Each loop should be configured with the
appropriate settings to insure the ramp/soak programs operate properly. Typically all loops,
with the exception of communication address, are configured identically. This especially
applies to the automatic ramp/soak program global settings.
