User Manual For - CONTROLLER/DATA RECORDER MultiCon CMC-N16

5.1.1.

Logical channels

Logical Channel

is a data stream existing in the memory of the device, having its own

name and can be displayed in almost any way.

Logical Channels

can be used as:

–

measurement inputs,

–

data source of control loop,

–

control source of the physical outputs,

–

input data to other

Logical Channels

–

data source for visualisation and logging.

Depending on type, the device can be equipped with a different number of

Logical

channels

and other functions. Their amount is shown in table below:

type

N16

(logical channels)

(digital inputs)

(analog inputs)

Rel/SSR

(relays/SSR)

(analog outputs)

(Modbus ports)

(math functions)

(groups)

P/t

(Profile/timers)

(controllers)
