GmbH & Co. KG Operating modes The 362MC incorporates two operating modes - Automatic and Manual / Emergency manual mode. A modified menu is provided for each operating mode. Both operating modes offer an extended version of the menu for commissioning purposes. This extension to the menus for configuration and parameterisation of the controller is protected by a password to prevent unauthorised use.
GmbH & Co. KG Commissioning extension The menu selection option of the 362MC can be extended for the purposes of commissioning the con- troller. The extended functions for altering the configuration or parameterisation are available in both Automatic and Manual / Emergency manual mode. The menu extension is accessible after entering the password.

This error may occur when the parameters are loaded during the programme start or during commissioning, when loading profiles, for example. The controller programme cannot be started. When this error applies, the 362MC loads the factory presets as a precautionary measure. Please check urgently, in the following order: - the profiles of both controllers - incorrect profiles will be reloaded after entering the correct profile no.;...
6.1.4 Explanatory note on Watchdog error The 362MC incorporates a programme run monitoring function. The correctly running controller programme regularly resets a watchdog timer. Should deviations occur during execution of the programme, e.g. as a result of major external EMC disturbances, this resetting pulse will not be transmitted for the timer.
GmbH & Co. KG Service interface The 362MC possesses a service interface which is accessible on the front of the controller. This inter- face provides for more user-friendly operation and diagnosis of the controller. To this end, a PC and the 362MC service programme “McDiag”...
GmbH & Co. KG Connection The connection points on the 362MC are grouped together on two screw-/plug terminals on the backside of the controller. The voltage supply, the switching outputs, the alarm and the binary inputs are connected via a 20-pole plug terminal; the analogue inputs and the signals from supplementary modules are connected via an 18-pole plug terminal.
4.0 AT 9.3 Connection of the switching outputs In standard configuration, controller 362MC has one relay set, consisting of relay+ and relay-, as its switching output. A 2 relay set is available as a hardware extension. Two variants apply for connection of the switching voltage.
The max. common-mode voltage is +2V. Voltage input 362MC U= 0-10V The 362MC is also available in a special version with a 0-5V voltage input for 0-10V or 0-5V. The appropriate hardware configuration is to be observed here. See also Commissioning menu - Input (5.6)
Pleiger Elektronik GmbH & Co. KG 9.8 Connection of the PT100 sensor 362MC In the standard configuration of the 362MC, the and 2 analogue inputs serve as PT100 inputs. Connection is effected via a three-wire connection, whereby the compensation for the line resistance of 3 wires is based on 3 wires of the same cross- section and the same length.

Appendix B2: Hardware extension - Analogue outputs A module incorporating 2 analogue outputs is available as a hardware extension for the 362MC which can be installed at the factory. The module incorporates the respective D/A converters and the isolated output stages, which in standard configuration are provided as linear current outputs. Linear voltage out- puts are also available as a special variant.
Appendix B3: Hardware extension - RS485/RS422 communication interface A module incorporating a communication interface is available for the 362MC, for installation at the factory. The interface is isolated, and in the standard version it is wired up as an RS485 interface (2-wire).
Appendix C1: Special function - Trend compensation The standard software of the 362MC incorporates a special function for the enhanced control of systems with large dead times. This special trend compensation function, a traditional feature of Pleiger controllers, enables the differential activation of a second measuring sensor.

When a scale from 0-200°C applies, a 1.0% weighting for the disturbance compensation function (Z) will thus correspond to a setpoint increase of 2.0°C. Page: 44 Manual for 362MC Edition: 6/2007 Subject to modifications...

Disturbance compensation is not expedient with the 3-Point step controller, either, and is thus not implemented in the 362MC. Selecting this function for controller type “Step” will have no effect.
