Communication / Networking Capabilities
The TEC 3000 RS-485 Serial interface offers several advanced communication capabilities.
The TEC 3000 is equipped with two, independent RJ-45 serial ports. These ports are intended
for connection to another MVE controller, PC, serial printer, or other RS-485 device. Up to 100
TEC 3000 controllers can be successfully networked.
NOTE: The TEC 3000 should never be connected directly to a LAN or
public telecommunications network.
Below is a summary of the different communication / networking capabilities:
•
Host Computer
–
The TEC 3000 can communicate with a computer via an RS-485
converter and ChartConnect 3000 or Windows HyperTerminal. Through the use of
simple ASCII commands, all TEC 3000 settings and functions can be monitored and
adjusted with these software programs. In addition to ASCII communication,
ChartConnect 3000 also offers a user-friendly event log downloader. The event log is
downloaded as a comma separated variable (.csv) file that can be opened in EXCEL.
Either a single controller or a network of controllers may be connected to a host
computer. For more information on computer communication capabilities, refer to the
Communication / Networking section.
•
Serial Printer
–
The TEC 3000 can be connected directly to a serial printer via an RS-
485 converter. This allows controller events to be printed as they occur. This gives
users the opportunity to keep hard-
copy records of the freezer’s status in addition to the
standard event log saved in the controller’s memory. This printed data bypasses the
controller memory and is not given the opportunity to be altered electronically. For more
information on the printer interface, refer to the Communication / Networking section.
•
MODBUS
–
The TEC 3000 has RS-485 MODBUS communication capabilities. This will
not be extensively covered in this manual. Please contact your MVE Distributor or
Chart MVE Technical Service for more information.
•
One Fill All Fill (OFAF)
–
A group of TEC 3000s can be networked in order to
coordinate fill cycles and reduce LN2 transfer losses. For locations with multiple
freezers, this function will increase the filling efficiency and drastically reduce LN2
consumption over time. A sequential or simultaneous OFAF network is possible. For
more information on OFAF networking, refer to the Advanced Filling Options section.
