System Response Time
Outputs are not active for 5 seconds after system power up. Maximum
response time for the discrete outputs is two scan cycles. A scan cycle includes
a sensor scan plus any serial data transmission.
Serial transmission (if activated) follows every sensor scan.
Controller Programming
Via RS-232 to PC-compatible computer running Windows
and using Banner-supplied software
Analog Outputs
MACV-1: Two 0-10 Volts sourcing adjustable Null and Span (20 mA current
limit)
MACI-1: Two 4-20 mA current sinking adjustable Null and Span (16 to 30 V
input)
Resolution: Span minus Null, divided by the number of sensor channels
Linearity: 0.1% of Full Scale
Temp. Var.: 0.01% of Full Scale/°C
Serial Data Outputs
All Models: RS-232, ASCII or binary data format
Baud rate: 9600, 19.2K, or 38.4K 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, even parity
Clear data may be suppressed; header string may be suppressed in binary
format
MAC-1, MACN-1, and MACP-1: Up to 15 Controllers may be given unique
address for RS-485 party line
