MC32 Controller Module

The MC32 Controller module regulates and monitors up to 32 heating circuits. It flexibly accesses the individual I/O modules by means of the bus system integrated in the DIN rail. By inserting more MC32 modules into the bus, the number of heating circuits to be monitored can be increased at will. Two setpoint values can be assigned to each heating circuit and changed by means of an external switching contact. The MC32 monitors parameters, such as temperature, overheating, load current, residual current, and external status signals such as rccb auxiliary contacts, limiter alarms, manual switches etc. for each of the 32 heating circuits individually. Up to three temperature sensors per circuit are monitored, whereby the controlled variable is fixed in relation to one sensor. The other sensors serve to monitor a high and a low alarm value. Individual upper and lower limits can be assigned to each monitored value and individual alarms emitted by means of the MPCnet control system’s digital outputs. In addition, all individual alarms can be emitted through the MC32 module’s group alarm contact to an indicator light or suchlike. The bus status signals and alarms are also indicated by means of LEDs. Connecting the GW32 gateway and PA00 touch-panel allows a transfer not only of the setpoint and actual values but also of all alarms into a higher ranking control. All of the control system’s parameters and alarms can be altered or acknowledged from the control centre. See system description for the Installation Instructions.
