1.1.1 The Product
The MOD 30ML Replacement Instrument, Figure 1-1, can be used to replace an installed
MOD 30 instrument, or to expand an existing MOD 30 installation. The replacement is a
microprocessor based instrument which can be configured to perform all the PID,
mathematical, sequencing, and logic functions available in MOD 30 instruments. The front
panel display presents process variable, set-point, output, and other operational data in a
format similar to the MOD 30 instrument displays.
Features of the MOD 30ML replacement instrument are as follows:
• Can be installed in existing MOD 30 bezels or panel cutouts.
• Accepts Mod 30 plug-in cable connections.
• Can match all MOD 30 controller and indicator I/O configurations and many math unit
configurations with a combination of built-in I/O circuits and plug-in I/O modules.
• Communicates on the ICN.
• Front panel data base configuration capability.
• Provides extended data base configuration capability using Application Builder software
running on a personal computer and communicating via the ICN.
• An RS-232 port in the front panel permits easy connection of a portable computer for
data base configuration.
• An optional plug-in memory module provides the same data base backup and data
base transfer function as the MOD 30 memory module.
