Manual MC3-TM Temperature Monitor Documentnr.: 131083 version 2.1 2. Technical specifications Type MC3-TM (Temperature Monitor) Communication TCP/IP and serial connection for service purposes Power supply 12 VC DC Power consumption Measurement range -50.0°C / + 50.0°C Accuracy Inputs 2x Pt1000, 2-wire temperature sensors 2x Dig.in, potential free contact...
Start the program and select an interface. Press scan to search for available MC3 controllers. All found devices will be listed. Both MAC-address and IP address will be shown. The MAC-address of the MC3-TM is printed on a sticker which is placed on the mainboard. Using this MAC-address, the device can be selected in the list.
Manual MC3-TM Temperature Monitor Documentnr.: 131083 version 2.1 5. Internal settings / values The internal setting can be adjusted using Modbus TCP on the default port 502. The following settings can be adjusted using Modbus function to modify registers. Description...

Manual MC3-TM Temperature Monitor Documentnr.: 131083 version 2.1 The controller also offers functionality to readout measurement values. These values can be read by using Modbus functions to readout actual values. Description Repr Range Unit Temperature cold water -50,0 .. 50,0 °C...
Documentnr.: 131083 version 2.1 6. Service interface The MC3-TM is not equipped with an display in order to change settings or read measured values. Settings for manipulating the control process can be accessed by Modbus as well as the measured values.
By selecting the button “Submit” at the bottom the selected configuration will be saved on the MC3-TM and it is ready for use. It will be used when the MC3-TM is rebooted or when the control application is restarted. (see 6.6 Restart application).
The “Backup configuration” screen gives the possibility to make a backup of the current settings and software. This backup can be used to restore all settings to another MC3-TM in case of a hardware failure. When backups are made, they will be show in this screen and they can be downloaded to a PC.
6.7. Modbus access By default no system has Modbus access to the MC3-TM. In order to give a system access to the Modbus registers and values, its access needs to be granted. On the “Modbus access” screen this access can be granted.
“Date/Time settings” offers the possibility to change the internal date and time settings of the MC3-TM. The options at the top of the screen show the settings for manually setting the date and time. By pressing the button “Update values” the displayed date and time are refreshed, and by pressing the button “Set time”...
Manual MC3-TM Temperature Monitor Documentnr.: 131083 version 2.1 7. Alarms In case a measured temperature value reach one of the alarm temperatures the alarm output is triggered. It lowers or raises the output voltage according to the configured value (see 6.1 Temperature Monitor config).
Documentnr.: 131083 version 2.1 8. Diagrams of connections The MC3-TM controller consists of two different PCB’s. A Processor board at the bottom and a sensor board at the top. These diagrams from connection drawing 131081w2 shows how to make the connections to these boards.
