1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GDS Corp. C1 Sixteen Channel Controller is designed to display and control alarm
event switching for up to sixteen sensor data points. It may also be set as an eight
channel controller for applications needing fewer inputs. Alarm features such as
ON
and
OFF
delays,
Alarm Acknowledge
, and a dedicated horn relay make the C1 well suited for
many multi-point monitoring applications. Data may be input to the C1 by optional
analog inputs or the standard Modbus® RTU
master
RS-485 port. A Modbus RTU
slave
RS-485 port is also standard for sending data to PC’s, PLC’s, DCS’s, or even other C1
Controllers. Options such as analog I/O and discrete relays for each alarm are easily
added to the addressable I
2
C bus. Option boards have 8 channels and therefore require 2
boards for 16 channel applications.
In addition to traditional analog and serial methods of providing monitored values, the C1
is also capable of sending and receiving wireless data as described in section 7 of this
manual.
A 240 x 128 pixel graphic LCD readout displays monitored data as bar graphs, trends and
engineering units. System configuration is through user friendly menus and all
configuration data is retained in non-volatile memory during power interruptions. The
C1 front panel is shown below in Figure 1.0 displaying the 8 channel bar graph screen.
Additional data screens are shown in Figure 2.0.
