Cabled properly, you can use your FlexTest controller to send test
commands to another controller. For detailed setup information, see
"How to Program an External Controller"
When programming Series 2200 and 2400 Eurotherm temperature
controllers, the FlexTest IIm controller supports a special serial
connection and software setup. For more information, see
"Programming Eurotherm Temperature Controllers"
To send programming to an external controller, you must:
1. "Cable the controllers."
2. "Create your configuration file with Station Builder."
3. "Adjust the signals with Station Manager."
4. "Set up your program."
For a standard configuration (using the 498.65 ADDA module), cable
the analog inputs and outputs between your FlexTest controller and
the external controller. Analog I/O connectors are located on the rear
of the test processor chassis.
1. Connect a 498 Analog Out connector to the external controller
program (analog) input.
2. If you will monitor sensor feedback for data acquisition or control
feedback, connect the external conditioner output to a 498 Input
Filter connector.
For conditioner output locations on various MTS devices, see
