  • Page 5: Introduction

    The MultiCONT unit is a universal interface between NIVELCO’s HART-capable intelligent level transmitters and the other elements of the process control system like the PC-s , PLC-s, displays and the actuators. Besides its role as an interface, the MultiCONT ensures the powering of the 2-wire transmitters while being capable of complex control tasks.

  • Page 6: The Hart System

    The HART communication is basically a master-slave type, which means that the transmitter – slave – only sends a response when the master (of which there can be only one in the system) sends a query. The master can be a Hand-held Communicator, a PC with a HART modem or a universal interface, in this case, a MultiCONT (naturally, only one can be active).

  • Page 7: Point-To-Point Connection

    1.1.2.1 Point-to-point connection When a master (communicator or HART modem with PC or MultiCONT) and a slave are alone in a system, we talk of a point-to-point connection MultiCONT +U s 250  I– L– Transmitter Universal interface RS485 In this case the flowing current is the output current of the transmitters, so if permitted by the loop voltage, even a local indicator can be included into the loop.

    In a Multidrop system, the „burst mode” does not work * An 820 ohm resistor should be connected between the L- and SH terminals of the Ex version MultiCONT when it is used with the 3 (max. allowed) Ex version MicroTREK microwave level transmitter.

    Trend logging function is facilitated by a LOGGER unit connected to the front panel. It contains a FLASH memory chip and an SD (Secure Digital) card slot. Communication between the central unit of the MultiCONT and the LOGGER unit is indicated by two LED-s on the front panel. The green LED (read) flashes when a new logging entry is created, the red LED (wire) indicates when data are stored to the SD card.
  • Page 57 200 byte, so this capacity provides storing entries more than a million. The LOGGER unit of the MultiCONT senses automatically the inserted SD card. Then saving the FLASH memory into the memory card commences automatically. State of this process can be followed in the trend bargraph. Before remove the memory card, the end of the write process (when the red LED does not flash) has to be waited.

One logging file can contain max. 1000 entries, but new logging files are created when turning ON/OFF, restart of the MultiCONT and exiting from the LOG menu.

    OADING THE CONFIGURATION OF THE Settings of the MultiCONT are stored in a non-volatile FLASH memory (FMA). The content of this FLASH memory is replaced into the operative memory (OM) (which is a volatile memory) when MultiCONT is turned ON or restarted. Settings are saved automatically when exiting from the Menu.

    (e.g. in solid applications, STD-300 transmitters may not respond until the amplification reaches operation conditions). ** A device that had been working perfectly suddenly stops responding. Possible reasons:  the device has gone wrong  broken cable  noisy HART line (See Main menu/MultiCONT config/HART test)  prw2101a0600p_01 92 / 105...
