2.0 INTRODUCTION TO THE CMP6050 CONTROL SYSTEM An Overview of the CMP6050 The CMP6050 is configured at the factory and offers a wide array of set-up, control and alarm features to fine tune the configuration on site. The scalability of the CMP6050 accommodates additional Input/Output ports if necessary.
2.1.3 Software The controller Software is installed into the controller by Conviron prior to shipping and facilitates interaction with, and control of, the chamber. Like other software products, CMP6050 software carries a version number. Accessing the installed software version number for the controller is described in Figure 3-2, under the Information Icon.
• Humidity, light and CO transitions are set on STEP mode. Data Logging and Management Log data for the CMP6050 can be viewed two ways: locally at the control system interface, or remotely via a network-connected PC. 2.4.1 Local Data •...
Factory Start-up Delay At start-up, CMP6050 controllers randomly select delay times between 0 and 59 seconds (by default) to reduce start-up loads after a power failure. This delay time can also be programmed by the User (reference Section 8-3: (Chamber) Start-up Delay).
Consult Conviron for more information. ADIAL: An automatic telephone dialing system (autodialer) to notify the User of a chamber alarm. Note that this requires Conviron’s Central Management™ system, which is sold as a separate product. Consult Conviron for more information.
CHAPTER 2 | INTRODUCTION TO THE CMP6050 CONTROL SYSTEM 2.12 Process Control Modes: BASIC and VAR Programs are lists of timelines, with each timeline specifying target set points for all controlled processes (temperature, light, humidity, and CO , if equipped). There are three different ways the chamber can transition between target set points: step (STEP), global ramp (gRAMP) and variable ramp (vRAMP).
CHAPTER 2 | CMP6050 Operator’s Manual To determine the process control mode, tap the information icon in the upper left corner of the Main Status screen (see Figure 4-1) to access the Information screen (Figure 2-5). Process Control Mode (indicating optional...
CHAPTER 2 | INTRODUCTION TO THE CMP6050 CONTROL SYSTEM 2.12.2 Global Ramp Transition (gRAMP): • gRAMP transitions are only available for temperature (see Figure 2-3). In this mode the chamber increases or decreases temperature at a defined rate selected by the operator ([x]min/[1°C]), referred to as the global ramp rate (see Figure 2-7).
CHAPTER 2 | CMP6050 Operator’s Manual 2.12.3 Variable Ramp Transition (vRAMP): • vRAMP transitions are available for temperature, humidity, light, and CO processes (see Figure 2-3). In this mode the chamber changes the process at a linear rate between timeline target set points. This allows the User to program ramp transitions with many different ramp rates in the same program (see Figure 2-8).
CHAPTER 2 | INTRODUCTION TO THE CMP6050 CONTROL SYSTEM 2.12.4 Disable When a process is set to Disable in control mode VAR, the controller will disable control of the process and ignore all set points for that process in all programs in the schedule. This does not affect the values entered in any saved programs, and the process will still trigger corresponding alarms.
3.0 INITIAL START-UP AND NAVIGATION OVERVIEW Now that a general overview of the capabilities of the CMP6050 Control system have been presented, it’s time for the initial start-up. This section provides instructions on start-up procedures and general navigation of the CMP6050 control system.

CMP6050 Operator’s Manual Understanding Program Transitions Programs entered in the CMP6050 begin at 00:00 and end at 23:59. Conditions defined by the last timeline of a program will run until 23:59, at which point the controller will load the program file for the next day and look to the first timeline of that program to determine process set points.
PROGRAM SCREEN When Ramping Across Midnight is Necessary The controller cannot automatically ramp across midnight. For this reason Conviron recommends avoiding ramping across midnight if possible. However, if an experiment requires the chamber to ramp one or more parameters across the transition at midnight, the User must add necessary additional set points in order to ensure the desired ramp occurs as intended.
CHAPTER 5 | CMP6050 Operator’s Manual 5.6.2 vRAMP Figure 5-29 and Figure 5-30 demonstrate how to add timelines to a program so that it is possible to ramp processes across midnight when in vRAMP transition mode. Figure 5-29: vRAMP across midnight: INCORRECT...

Setting the Low and High limits for the remaining parameters are independent of RAMP or STEP Mode. Factory default values are set by Conviron and depend on the chamber configuration. The User is able to change the default settings using the same general instructions for setting the temperature limits.
Tap the high field box to display a keypad and enter the high limit alarm. With Conviron CMP6050 software, the values entered in the limit fields are saved and do not have to be re-entered when the system is re-booted. Always verify when changing the temperature alarm limits that they are within the minimum and maximum operating limits of the chamber.
CHAPTER 6 | ALARM SCREEN Alarm Status Indicators The following Table provides a summary of alarm status indicators and their corresponding pop- up windows. Definition & Corresponding Status Indicator Pop-up Window No program running/ No alarms Program running/No alarms No program running/Inactive Unacknowledged alarm (Figure 6-5) No program running/Active Acknowledged alarm (Figure 6-6)

In previous sections of this Manual, instructions were provided to enable the User to start- up and begin using the CMP6050 to control the Chamber. Those instructions comprised the basics of what was required to begin operating the control system. In this section, an expanded palette of features and options are presented.
(Chamber) Start-up Delay Access Level 1 For facilities that house multiple chambers, the CMP6050 offers a valuable feature called Start- up Delay. This feature allows for the configuration of a power-on delay for each chamber which staggers their start-up sequence. In the event of a power failure, once power is resumed, chambers would start sequentially as opposed to all at once –...
Configuring each chamber to start several seconds after the previous chamber is a wise precautionary step. Conviron by default configures a random start-up delay value between 1 and 59 seconds. To modify the default value, tap the Start-up Delay icon in the Main Option...
Security On/Off Access Level 2 Security features of the CMP6050 were already covered to some extent in Section 7: SECURITY SCREEN, of this Manual. The focus in Section 7 was getting the Administrator and Users set up with passwords, which is more of an infrequent (set-up) requirement. Security instructions provided in this section of the Manual pertain more to daily security interactions with the controller.
• log data downloadable over a network. The CMP6050 employs a data logging feature that logs two data sets. One set of data is viewable locally directly on the Display while the other set is viewable remotely via a network- connected PC.
When the controller memory has reached full capacity, by default, it will overwrite the oldest data stored in the memory, without issuing a warning to the User. To avoid losing data, Conviron strongly recommends to connect the unit to a LAN system and utilize the CM Software.
