MACH-PROCOM/MACH-PROWEBCOM

OVERVIEW

With its extensive network routing ability to multiple open protocols, and its highly

scalable I/O and small footprint, the Reliable Controls® MACH-ProCom™ (MP-C)

achieves an optimum balance between form and function. This fully programmable,

Internet-connected, BACnet® Building Controller (B-BC) is ideal for large mechanical

rooms and multi-building applications.

The MACH-ProWebCom™ (MPW-C) includes all the features of the MACH-ProCom, and

also includes a powerful web server. Publish your building automation system to the Web

quickly and easily with the MACH-ProWebCom.

FIGURE 1: MACH-PROCOM AND MACH-PROWEBCOM

FEATURES

• The MACH-ProWebCom includes both BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) and BACnet Operator

Workstation (B-OWS) device profiles in a single device!

• Both controllers support BACnet, Modbus, SMTP, SNMP, DHCP, and SNTP protocols.

• The MACH-ProWebCom also supports HTTP via a powerful onboard web server.

• BACnet datalinks include B/IP, B/Ethernet, MS/TP, and PTP.

• Connect up to two BACnet MS/TP networks, each with up to 126 devices.

• Connect up to 8 MACH-ProPoint™ expansion modules, with a maximum of 192 inputs and 128 out-

puts.

LEGACY PROTOCOL SUPPORT

Starting in September 2015, all MACH-Pro series controllers ( i.e. MACH-ProCom™, MACH-

ProSys™, MACH-ProWebCom™, and MACH-ProWebSys™), ship with two versions of

firmware on board. The controllers boot up with version 8 firmware enabled by default,

which fully supports BACnet communications, but does not support legacy Reliable

Controls Protocol (RCP). Installers can revert to version 7 firmware by toggling a setting

found under the Setup main menu item in the RC-Toolkit® MSet Tool. Version 7 firmware

supports both BACnet and RCP protocols, and also includes a Dual/Sub network feature

that allows both protocols to be mixed on a single EIA-485 bus.

This 'dual firmware' configuration allows a MACH-Pro series controller to support legacy

RCP communications in an installation while the owner gradually upgrades to Reliable

Controls BACnet controllers. Eventually, after all controllers have been upgraded, the

same MACH-Pro series controller can be easily switched over to version 8 firmware, future-

proofing the installation with pure BACnet protocol.

There are thousands of Reliable Controls legacy controllers installed around the world that

will need to communicate using RCP for many years. The connection point for these

controllers into modern Reliable Controls hardware and software products will be a

MACH-Pro series controller, running version 7 firmware. For this reason, Reliable

Controls will continue to support and release new updates of version 7 firmware for the

foreseeable future. Using RC-Toolkit OS-Send and MSet tools, users will be able to update

version 7 controllers with newer releases of version 7 firmware, upgrade from version 7 to

version 8 firmware, or update version 8 firmware to new versions.

For more information on version 7 and version 8 firmware upgrade considerations and

procedures, please refer to Application Notice #22.

NAMING CONVENTION

In this manual, the term MACH-Pro(Web)Com™ will be used when the discussion applies

to both MACH-ProCom and MACH-ProWebCom controllers.

This manual describes the operation of MACH-ProCom and MACH-ProWebCom controllers

running Version 8 firmware.

MACH-PRO(WEB)COM SOFTWARE FEATURES

The MACH-Pro(Web)Com controller’s onboard memory allows for the creation of a total of

2040 BACnet objects.

Each object type is limited to the following maximums:

The MACH-Pro(Web)Com can communicate with up to 128 Modbus slaves and each one

counts as an object. Multipoint and Single-Point Trend Logs are dynamically created but

also count towards the 2040 object maximum.

The MACH-ProCom can support a maximum of 1536 Net-Ins (object updates from other

BACnet devices), and 512 Net-Outs (writing to objects in other BACnet devices or sending

object updates to other BACnet devices).

The entire MACH-Pro(Web)Com database is maintained in non-volatile Flash memory.

Items that dynamically change, such as Trend Logs and calculated values, are also

preserved in capacitor-backed memory. This feature retains values for power outages up

to 72 hours.

• 192 inputs.

• 128 outputs.

• 1,024 variables with standard and custom ranges available.

• 128 PID Loops for closed loop control.

• 128 Schedules.

• 32 Calendars.

• 128 Arrays (128 elements each).

• 20 Custom Tables for creating custom Input ranges.

• 64 System Groups of up to 160 points per group display.

• 128 Control-BASIC programs, each with 3200 bytes.

• 128 user passwords (Does not count towards the 2040 object maximum).

• 24 Custom Units – eight binary, eight analog, and eight multistate engineering

units (Does not count towards the 2040 object maximum).

• 16 SMART-Sensors.

• BACnet alarms can be emailed from the controller as dictated by the BACnet

Alarm Configuration setup.

MODELS

There are two models of the MACH-ProCom as outlined in Table 2.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING

The MACH-Pro(Web)Com controller is designed to be vertically mounted in an enclosure/panel.

TIPS FOR MOUNTING THE MACH-PRO(WEB)COM:

TABLE 2: MACH-PROCOM MODELS

Model Description

MP-C MACH-ProCom base model

MPW-C MACH-ProCom with built-in Web server

• Use the drill guide template supplied with the MACH-Pro(Web)Com to assist in

marking the position of the drill holes for the mounting screws,

• Use the self-tapping #8 metal screws supplied with the MACH-Pro(Web)Com to

mount the controller in the enclosure (see Physical Dimensions in the Getting

Started section),

• The mounting holes are 2.5 cm (1”) in depth, and

• Do not use bevel-headed or wood screws.

Ground yourself before touching the controller to avoid damaging the electronics. Touch a

grounded metal surface to discharge static electricity.

The MACH-Pro(Web)Com controller is intended to be installed in accordance with the

National Electric Code or the Canadian Electric Code, Part 1, and in a manner acceptable

to the local authority having jurisdiction or in accordance with IEC 60730-1 Clause 11.6.3

Mounting of Independently Mounted Controls.

POWER WIRING

The MACH-Pro(Web)Com requires power from a Class 2, 24 VAC or 24 VDC, 20 VA power

supply. One or more controllers can be powered from the same source. Ensure that

polarity is the same if multiple controllers share the same power source. Network

protection bulbs will light-up if polarity is crossed.

Do not connect any peripheral devices to the same power source as the MACH-

Pro(Web)Comcontroller.

Use only a Class 2 (UL) or Class III Equipment Safety Isolating Transformer certified to IEC

61558-2-6.

The 24 VAC return/neutral wire must be grounded to the building’s Earth ground.

Apply minimum 4.0–5.5 in-lb torque for tightening field wires into terminal blocks. Use 30–

12 AWG wires.

External wiring connected to the controller is to be provided a relief from strain and twisting.
