Controller Options

As options can be ordered in a variety of combinations and for a variety of purposes,
exact instructions are not given here. The full Eurotherm manual may be required to
determine customer parameter settings. To reveal or hide parameters in the controllers
it is necessary to go into configuration mode, a security code is needed. Please consult
Carbolite Gero.

3.4.1

Digital Communications - RS232

If the RS232 option is supplied, the furnace is fitted with one sub-miniature D-
socket connected to the controller comms module. RS232 is suitable for direct
connection to a personal computer (PC) using a “straight through” cable as follows
(the linked pins at the computer end are recommended but may not be necessary).
The cable is usually 9-pin at the furnace end and 9-pin at the computer, but other
alternatives are shown in parentheses.

Digital Communications - RS485

If an RS485 option is supplied, the furnace is fitted with two D-sockets. Connection
between products is by “straight” cable as follows:

Comms Address

Typically the comms address is set to 1, but this can be changed. In the case of RS485
and multiple instruments it is necessary to set different addresses. To change the
address value, access the level 2 list. In level 2 press the page key until the COMMS

parameter is displayed. Press up

down

to select the address value.

3.4.4

Alarm Option

When an alarm board is fitted, which consists of a relay with voltage free contacts, for
operator use, the contacts are taken to a panel plug on the control panel, wired as
