Micromod Micro-DCI: 53MC5000 Multi-Loop Process Controller Installation - Manual (Page 6)

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION
This Quick Start Guide provides the information needed to install and wire a 53MC5000 Modular
Controller with a quick and easy set up of two control strategies: CS1 Standard PID and CS20 Two
Loop Controller. This guide is designed to help the user become familiar with the 53MC5000 and to
place it in service for simple applications. More detailed information on technical specifications,
control strategies and communications are discussed in the 53MC5000 Instruction Bulletin.
1.2 USING THIS MANUAL
The following paragraphs briefly describe the remaining sections of this manual.
1.2.1 INSTALLATION
Section 2.0, INSTALLATION, describes the hardware requirements for mounting and wiring the
53MC5000 in a panel. This section includes a full set of dimensional and mounting drawings. The
interconnections subsection describes the types of signals required for each of the input/outputs:
analog (or voltage) inputs, analog (or current )outputs, contact inputs and contact outputs. Connec-
tion drawings are included for 53MC5000 controllers with the standard rear terminals on the back
of the instrument or with optional cord set terminations.
For mounting in panels ............................................. see pages 2-1 to 2-5
For interconnection wiring ........................................ see pages 2-6 to 2-10
For cord set wiring .................................................... see pages 2-11 to 2-14
For grounding ............................................................ see page 2-15
1.2.2 FUNCTIONALITY
Section 3.0, FUNCTIONALITY, provides general instructions for configuring the 53MC5000 for op-
eration. The Modular Controller database is comprised of many parameters that control or display
various operational features. Each parameter is identified by a database location (e.g. A10 or
C100). The values loaded into specific database locations enable the 53MC5000 to perform its spe-
cialized functions. For convenience, database values that perform a single function have been
grouped into modules. All data in the database are one of six types. The data type is identified by
the first character of the database location. A full description of each module type is included in
this section.This section also describes the function of the controller front panel, and the method in
which front panel keys or the Hand Held Configurer can be used to input database values.
