2.9 Installation
For installation proceed as follows, with reference to the wiring diagrams:
1. before performing any operations on the control board, disconnect
the main power supply by turning the main switch in the electrical
panel OFF. Then remove the plastic side cover and/or the covers to
make the electrical connections;
2. avoid touching the control board, as electrostatic discharges may
damage the electronic components;
3. the index of protection required for the application must be ensured
by the manufacturer of the display case or by suitable assembly of
the controller;
4. connect any digital inputs, Lmax=10m;
5. connect the power cable to the valve motor: to nd the section or
cable lenght, see “terminals and connections” section.
6. connect the actuators: the actuators should only be connected after
having programmed the controller. Carefully evaluate the maximum
ratings of the relay outputs as indicated in “Technical speci cations”;
7. program the controller: see the chapter “User interface”.
8. for the tLAN connection of the Master/Slave network and user
interfaces, use shielded cable and make sure:
• the maximum distance between a controller and its user terminal/
remote display is 100 m (with section of cable not less than AWG22);
• the maximum distance between the controllers and the maximum
length of the cable between one controller and another is 100 m
(with section of cable not less than AWG22).
Important: avoid installing the controllers in environments with
the following characteristics:
• relative humidity greater than the 90% or condensing;
• strong vibrations or knocks;
• exposure to continuous water sprays;
• exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres (e.g.: sulphur
and ammonia fumes, saline mist, smoke) to avoid corrosion and/or
oxidation;
• strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (avoid installing
the controllers near transmitting antennae);
• exposure of the controllers to direct sunlight and to the elements in
general.
Important: when connecting the controllers, the following
warnings must be observed:
• incorrect connection to the power supply may seriously damage the
controller;
• use cable ends suitable for the corresponding terminals. Loosen each
screw and insert the cable ends, then tighten the screws and lightly
tug the cables to check correct tightness;
• separate as much as possible the probe and digital input cables from
the power cables to the loads so as to avoid possible electromagnetic
disturbance. Never lay power cables and probe cables in the same
conduits (including those in the electrical panels);
• avoid installing the probe cables in the immediate vicinity of power
devices (contactors, circuit breakers, etc.). Reduce the path of the
probe cables as much as possible and avoid enclosing power devices.
Note: when connecting the RS485 serial network:
• connect the shield to the GND terminals on all controllers;
• do not connect the shield to the earth on the electrical panel;
• use a twisted pair shielded cable (e.g. Belden 8762 – AWG 20 or BELDEN
8761-AWG 22);
• connect a 120 Ω terminal resistor between the Tx/Rx+ and Tx/Rx-
terminals on the last MPXPRO controller.
2.10 Programming key (copy set-up)
Important: the key must be used with the controller o and with
the RS485 serial line disconnected from the MPXPRO. The
MXOPZKEYA0/IROPZKEYA0 programming key is used to copy the
complete set of MPXPRO parameters. The key must be plugged into the
connector (4 pin AMP) on the controllers (with the controller powered
down).
Note: MXOPZKEYA0 can only be used on MPXPRO with rmware
versions >= 2.1 (with max. 6 sets of parameters); IROPZKEYA0 can
only be used on MPXPRO with rmware versions <=1.2 (with max. 2 sets
of parameters).
The rmware version of the MPXPRO can be identi ed as follows:
1. on the label applied to the rear of the instrument. The second part of
the revision number represents the rmware version (e.g. Rev. 1.326
means rmware revision 2.6). This info is valid only if the MPXPRO has
never been updated by the user;
2. on the terminal display. When powering up the MPXPRO, the terminal
displays the rmware revision (e.g. r 2.6) for a couple of seconds;
3. using the VPM or from the supervisor (Integer variable 11: Firmware
release). O cial versions available are 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 - 2.1, 2.2, 2.6, 2.8.
By setting the two dipswitches (accessible when removing the cover),
the programming key can run the following functions:
• UPLOAD. Load the parameters from a controller to the key (see Fig. 2.p):
the key acquires all the parameters available on the controller;
• DOWNLOAD. Copy from the key to a controller (see Fig.2.q): the key
only transfers the operating parameters to the connected controller;
• EXTENDED DOWNLOAD. Extended copy from the key to a controller
(see Fig.2.r): the key transfers all the parameters (operating and unit) to
the connected controller.
Important: the copy and extended copy of parameters can only
be performed between compatible instruments, that is, with the
same or higher rmware revision (e.g. copy from 2.2 to 2.4, not
vice-versa).
The UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD and EXTENDED DOWNLOAD functions are
performed as follows:
a. open the rear cover of the key and set the two dipswitches based on
the desired operation;
b. close the cover, power up the key and plug the key into the connector
on the controller;
c. press and hold the button until the red LED ashed brie y, after around
5-10 s (the button can still be held). When the button is released, the
LED stays on red until the end of the operation, which may last up to
a maximum of 45 sec. The operation is completed successfully when
the green LED comes on. With the button released, the green LED
goes o after around 2 seconds. Other signals or ashing of the LEDs
indicate that problems have occurred: see the corresponding table;
d. remove the key from the controller.
