HAS3xE-IM-SW39 (2) [MLT Software 3.9.X] 04/05
NGA 2000
1 - 1
This software manual describes step by step how to operate successfully the Emerson
Process Management NGA 2000 Series MLT & CAT 200 analyzer modules and analyzers
(MLT 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5; CAT 200 = MLT 1 in an EEx dem enclosure).
Chapter 2 shows the structure of the MLT software menus. Chapter 3 describes the
display and the keyboard of the analyzer and the main menu and submenus. Chapter 4
describes the basic controls incl. calibration with detailed illustrations. So you can easily
compare the actual analyzer (module) display with the illustrations of the manual.
Chapter 5 describes the expert configurations of the analyzer module and of the Input/
Output modules (I/O modules). Chapter 6 describes the system configuration and
diagnostics. The layout of both chapters is not as detailed as in chapter four. Normally,
the way to a certain menu of the MLT software is described with the software catchwords
you have to press to reach this menu. You will find the illustration of the corresponding
LCD screen at the end of the catchword listing. After that you can read the meaning of the
functions and variables of each expert or system configuration menu. In chapter 7 you will
find some information about the display controls.
Some contents of the expert configurations are not important for each customer. It depends
on the configuration of your NGA 2000 system, relative to the following components:
♦ Control Module CM
♦ Analyzer Module AM
♦ Input/Output Modules I/O's (SIO = Standard I/O, DIO = Digital I/O)
You can distinguish the following system units and SIO/DIO configurations:
System Unit SIO/DIO Configuration
Section
Page
MLT analyzer module (AM):
• without front panel,
i.e. without control unit
• can be combined with a platform, a
MLT/ CAT 200/ TFID analyzer or a
customer developed control unit
⇒ 1 local SIO and 1 local DIO (or 2
local DIO’s) can be installed in the
MLT/TFID analyzer module
⇒ SIO and DIO can be configured
for the MLT AM channels or the
TFID analyzer module only
∗ 5.1.18
p. 5-71
Platform (CM Software):
• Control unit with front panel
• Without measurement channels
⇒ 1 SIO and up to 4 DIO's can be
installed in the platform (CM I/O’s)
⇒ SIO and DIO can be configured
for all MLT channels & AM’s
combined with the platform
∗ 5.2
p. 5-87
MLT analyzer (CM plus MLT AM
software = MCA software):
• Analyzer with front panel
• CM and AM software in the same
analyzer,
i.e. all functions of the control unit
and of the AM are combined in one
controller board
⇒ 1 SIO and 1 DIO (or 2 DIO’s) can
be installed in the MLT/ CAT 200/
TFID analyzer (CM I/O)
⇒ SIO and DIO can be configured
for all MLT channels & AM’s
combined with the MLT/ CAT 200/
TFID analyzer
