4 Configuring the MCTB
The MCTB Configurator is a powerful tool that is built in to the system. It is a program that allows the OEM or
user to set up control system options for the MCTB runtime application. This allows for on-the-spot setup of
the MCTB without the need for external hardware and software. The user or OEM must first run the Configurator
prior to putting the MCTB into service in order to properly setup the system for its intended use. The MCTB
Configurator provides the following functionality:
•
Set the control type, i.e., single loop, single loop + limit, dual loop, etc.
•
Configure the availability of soft alarms
•
Configure the availability of monitor points
•
Configure the availability and enter math/logic equations
•
Provide control loop/limit configuration settings for input type, output function, set point range, etc.
•
Provide monitor point configuration settings for input type, zero, span, etc.
•
Select the type of user communications for the Modbus slave interface
•
‘Splash Screen’ name editing for custom OEM or user requirements
•
Enable/disable options for runtime menu and screen availability
•
Text editing for all system event and alarm names
The Configurator program does not run at the same time as the main runtime software. It can be run by exiting
the runtime software via the Offline Setup\
Exit Application screen. When the “Exit application (configuration
mode startup)” option is selected, on the next power-up, the Configurator application will automatically start.
To access the Configurator:
1. From the runtime application, p
ress the “Home” icon to make sure you are on the main view.
2.
Press the “Menu” icon (monitor) and select Device and then Settings.
3.
From Settings, press the “Menu” icon (monitor) and select Offline and then Offline.
Press “Yes” at the prompt to go offline.
4.
From Offline, press the “Menu” icon (monitor) and select System and then Exit.
5. On
the Exit Application screen, press the “Exit Application (configuration mode startup)” button.
Press “Yes” at the prompt to exit the application.
6.
Once the runtime application quits and the desktop is shown (black screen with the words “System
Startup Please Wait…”), cycle power to the
MCTB
. Once the
MCTB
finishes its boot sequence, the
Configurator application will be automatically started.
The
Configurator menu is accessed by pressing the “Monitor” icon at the top left of the screen.
