Intuitive Mercury TDB Controller
The Intuitive Mercury Controller with Data Builder is a versatile device intended for user programming. Some example applications are HVAC,
BMS and Refrigeration. The controller has 6 analogue probe inputs, which can also be used as volt free digital inputs, 5 relay outputs with on
board fusing as standard. In addition, the controller can also be specified with one or more solid state relays (SSRs) fitted. There are optional
daughter boards available which provide additional inputs and outputs, such as a high speed pulse counter. There is no intrinsic program, but all
of the inputs and outputs are available for use with either the on-board Data Builder program or a Data Manager Data Builder program to provide
the ultimate flexibility in control and monitoring applications.
The Intuitive Mercury TDB Controller requires an IP connection for uploading/ downloading TDB programmes to the controller. There is a
maximum of 2048 blocks available for use in a program, though this can be less depending on the type of blocks used. Up to 64 external Setting
Blocks are allowed in a program, if more than 64 Setting Blocks are used then the additional blocks will not appear in the
controller webpage’s or
on an RDM Data Manager. Any additional Setting Blocks used must be marked as “Internal”.
There can be a total of 20 alarm Blocks and a total of 20 External I/O. If more than 20 I/O blocks are required they would have to be set as
internal.
Due to the flexibility of the TDB Editor it allows a user to create complex control strategies. RDM recommend that the developer of the TDB
application carry out functionality tests prior to installation to ensure the control strategy designed operates as expected e.g. all inputs can be
read, all outputs activate when operated by the TDB program and so forth. If the unit is to be connected to a Data Manager, RDM recommend
the developer also log on the controller to a Data Manager, for example to check the order of Inputs, Outputs and parameters.

Configuration
The controller has no configuration until a Data Builder application has been developed and uploaded to the controller, see:
Getting started.
Compatible Network Interfaces
Intuitive Mercury controllers are capable of connecting to a TCP/IP local area network, or they can be used in standalone mode with no network
output. To connect to a network you must add the correct communications module. Connecting to any of these communication modules will
automatically be detected on power up and will affect the set up screens available to you.
