What’s New In This Manual
This is the third version of the CMC Manual. This version was created to support new
features incorporated into the CMC Product, and provide additional information in general
compared with the first and second versions.
Specifically, new features are as follows:
1. The basic compressor control logic has been refined to give even better pressure
control than before.
2. Surge Absorber
TM
. This feature replaces Surge Reload and reduces the magnitude and
duration of pressure variations for a surge cycle.
3. Gas and steam turbine driven compressor control with Adaptive Starting
TM
now
available as a standard option.
4. Diesel driven compressor control with Adaptive Starting
TM
now available as a standard
option.
5. Event log has been expanded to 224 events all scrollable from the OUI. New events
have been added for surge, turbine operation, multiple board failure and control
parameter edits from both local or remote control locations. This added information is
invaluable for troubleshooting.
6. Allen-Bradley DF1 communication protocol has been added for connection to Data
Highway Plus (DH+) networks.
7. More data available is available at a faster rate from a single communication read.
8. Three module support. This allows systems to contain as many as 69 analog inputs, 3
CT inputs, 3 speed inputs, 12 analog outputs, 48 discrete inputs and 48 discrete
outputs.
9. Added math capabilities allow for more options.
10. The OUI has been updated to enhance the overall look and feel and ease of use. The
Coasting Timer and BCM Version have been added.
11. New fonts have been added for Russian, Arabic and Greek.
12. New diagnostic feature for Motor Failure Trip. This helps in troubleshooting compressor
starting problems.
13. Derivative constants for the Inlet Valve Pressure, MinLoad and MaxLoad PID control
loops along with the Bypass Valve Pressure PID control loops have been added to the
OUI, this feature provides a higher level of tuning capabilities for the knowledgeable
User.
