Page 5: What Is The Orion-M
Orion-M 1 What is the Orion-M? The Orion-M is a multi-loop process control system combined with an embedded SCADA color touch interface. The Orion-M provides a configurable control platform for a variety of OEM applications requiring up to 15 separate loops of control. In addition to 15 loops of control, the Orion-M can also provide up to an additional 15 inputs for process monitoring, for a total of 30 process inputs. - Page 6 Orion-M The Orion-M provides a rich set of tools for control interaction and data analysis. Views include system overviews, trends, alarms, profiles as well as historical data, alarm history and audit trail views. The menu driven interface eliminates screen ‘clutter’ by providing an easy to use ‘Windows’ interface for interaction between the user and the Orion-M system.

Page 7: Getting Started
Orion-M 2 Getting Started The Orion-M requires one FDC 100 Series for each control loop required in the system. Since the Orion-M is capable of interfacing to more than one brand of controller, refer to the Orion-M part number matrix for the operating system to be sure that the FD10, CM application software has been provided. - Page 8 Orion-M Communications Wiring Example (FDC-9100 controller shown) Communications wiring to the FDC8100/4100 series are identical to that as shown above for the FDC-9100 controller except the terminals are in a different location. NOTE: Refer to the User’s Manual for the 100 Series controller used for all other connections including power, sensor and control wiring.

Page 9: Configuring The Fdc 100 Series Controller
Orion-M 3 Configuring the FDC 100 Series Controller The unique and inherently flexible design of the Orion-M system allows the OEM to tailor each component of the system to the application. By using independent loop controls, each one can be configured for various input and output types, control algorithms, etc., based on the requirements of the application. -
Page 10: Input Type Assignments
Orion-M 3.2 Input Type Assignments The FDC 100 Series controls offer a universal thermocouple/RTD input option or various linear input options for different voltage and current ranges. The Loop Input # for the corresponding control in the Orion-M Configurator is set to match the selected input type of the 100 Series control. Based on this selection, the Orion-M assumes control of certain parameters related to the input and automatically assigns them based on settings made in the Orion-M. -
Page 11: Control Output Assignments
Orion-M 3.3 Control Output Assignments The 100 Series controls have two control outputs that can be assigned to operate as heat/cool (indirect/direct). If only a single control output is used (output 1), for heating or cooling operation, the Orion-M will display a percentage of output of 0.0 – 100.0% for the output. If both outputs are used in a heat/cool application (output 1 is heat and output 2 is cool), the Orion-M will display a value of -100.0% to 100.0% for the percentage of output. -
Page 12: Loop Permissions
Orion-M 3.4 Loop Permissions The Orion-M iSeries configuration provides permissions which can be set to allow the control loop set point, auto/manual and auto tune operations to be performed at the loop control itself as well as through the Orion- M. -
