9.1 RDU 2.0
The optional CMSRDU2 is a separate accessory product allowing control of a CMS that is typically inaccessible via
the keypad, display and USB download.
The sensor itself is mounted remotely in another unit (normally a non-screened version). This allows the operator
full control of the CMS.
The CMS
RDU2 connects "in between’’ the incoming supply/serial connections, and the
CMS sensor. It is
"tra
nsparent’’ to the serial communications. This means that a PLC or
RMF-View can operate in the usual way to
control the CMS, change settings or download results, without having to unplug the RDU.
Similar components are used for the RDU as for the normal CMS-KU option, so the same instructions apply for
operation. See chapter 6.2.2.2 for more details.
The RDU wiring details are shown in figure 6.4.
Please note that the RDU cable provided must be plugged into the
right hand
(remote) connector of the CMS for
it to work.
Please note that the RDU only records tests whilst powered up. If tests are run without the RDU connected then
they will have to be downloaded directly from the CMS.
If the CMS connected to the RDU has a serial number lower than 1610800, then the power supply must go via the
RDU. Serial numbers after 161800 can be powered either via the CMS or RDU.
The CMSRDU2 is fully backward compatible with the first revision CMS products.
9.2 CMSUSBI
The USBi is a plug and play solution for easily connecting a computer to the CMS.
It includes a USB: RS485 interface with a terminal block pre-wired with the CMS cable. An extra terminal block is
provided for any customer wiring to external devices.
An external DC adapter supplied can be used to power the complete system, or if the computer is always
connected during use, power can be taken directly from the USB cable.
Note: Computer should have mains power applied at all times.
Detailed installation and usage instructions are provided in the separate product user guide.
