  • Page 4: Introduction

    The Model C-100MB can be remotely accessed via a Modbus slave interface. Through the Modbus interface, a Modbus master can initiate measurements, monitor measurement progress and retrieve results for any or all SmartBobs enabled in the C-100MB console. For more information on the Modbus interface, contact one of BinMaster’s application specialists.
  • Page 5 Interval Timer for Automatic Measurements Any number of SmartBobs on the network can be configured for an automatic measurement with a time between measurements ranging from 0 minutes (continuous) to 49 hours and 59 minutes in 1 minute increments. Vessel Parameters Vessel Height in feet: 1.00 to 299.99 in 0.01 increments Vessel Height in meters:...

  • Page 6: Installation

    If the ambient temperature of the C-100MB is going to exceed 122° F (50° C), consider using a fan of some type to circulate the air.
  • Page 7 3.1.1 Screw Mount There are three screw holes that can be used for mounting the C-100MB SmartBob control console as shown in the diagram below. You will need one #8 wood screw at least 3/8” long and two #8 wood screws at least 5/8”...

  • Page 8: Connections And Wiring

    3.2 Connections and Wiring A minimum configuration will require a three-wire power connection and a three-wire RS-485 connection to the SmartBob network. Optionally, there may be a two-wire 4-20mA connection, a two-wire external start connection and another three-wire RS-485 connection for the Expansion network. All wiring is fed through water-tight cordgrips and connected inside the lower wiring cabinet to pluggable terminal blocks mounted on the printed circuit board.
  • Page 9 Devices located at the ends of the SmartBob network must be properly terminated. For the two devices located at the ends, switch in their NTR or termination resistor. The C-100MB SmartBob control console can be located anywhere along the SmartBob network and has a software menu for switching it’s termination in or out of circuit.
  • Page 10 These three connections at this terminal block are optional and only needed when remotely accessing the C-100MB through Modbus. A good quality twisted-pair shielded cable should be used for the RS-485 network. The cable should connect to each device on the network in a daisy-chain fashion.

  • Page 11: Rs-485 Network Requirements

    Troubleshooting communications errors can be expensive and time consuming, so BinMaster strongly encourages you to take adequate time in understanding and installing the RS-485 networks and to use quality cabling and connection techniques.
  • Page 12 + terminal on all other devices. Likewise, make sure that the wires connected to the – and SH terminals at the C-100MB SmartBob control console are also connected to the – and SH terminals, respectively, on all other devices. Do not connect the wires or shield to anything other than that specified.

  • Page 13: Lightning/Surge Protection

    Both the power source and an RS-485 network are a means for electrical surges to enter the C-100MB SmartBob control console and do damage. Although some level of protection from electrical surges is built into the C-100MB SmartBob control console, there are options to further protecting your investment.
