  • Page 5: Introduction

    1.0 Introduction This version of the operator’s manual is intended for C-100MB consoles with firmware v2.00 or newer. The BinMaster Model C-100MB is a compact control console for a network of BinMaster SmartBob sensors. It can control from 1 to 120 SmartBob sensors with a few keystrokes or automatically by use of an interval timer or external start input signal.
  • Page 6 Interval Timer for Automatic Measurements Any number of SmartBobs on the network can be configured for an automatic measurement with a time between measurements ranging from 0 minutes (continuous) to 49 hours and 59 minutes in 1 minute increments. Vessel Parameters Vessel Height in feet: 1.00 to 299.99 in 0.01 increments Vessel Height in meters:...

  • Page 7: Installation

    If the ambient temperature of the C-100MB is going to exceed 122° F (50° C), consider using a fan of some type to circulate the air.
  • Page 8 3.1.1 Screw Mount There are three screw holes that can be used for mounting the C-100MB SmartBob control console as shown in the diagram below. You will need one #8 wood screw at least 3/8” long and two #8 wood screws at least 5/8”...

  • Page 9: Connections And Wiring

    3.2 Connections and Wiring A minimum configuration will require a three-wire power connection and a three-wire RS-485 connection to the SmartBob network. Optionally, there may be a two-wire 4-20mA connection, a two-wire external start connection and another three-wire RS-485 connection for the Expansion network. All wiring is fed through water-tight cordgrips and connected inside the lower wiring cabinet to pluggable terminal blocks mounted on the printed circuit board.
  • Page 10 Devices located at the ends of the SmartBob network must be properly terminated. For the two devices located at the ends, switch in their NTR or termination resistor. The C-100MB SmartBob control console can be located anywhere along the SmartBob network and has a software menu for switching it’s termination in or out of circuit.
  • Page 11 These three connections at this terminal block are optional and only needed when remotely accessing the C-100MB through Modbus. A good quality twisted-pair shielded cable should be used for the RS-485 network. The cable should connect to each device on the network in a daisy-chain fashion.

  • Page 12: Rs-485 Network Requirements

    3.2.5 4-20mA Output The 4-20mA Output connection (CN3) is a two wire terminal block located on the far left of the printed circuit board. It is identified with CN3 and labeled with 4-20. The two terminal screws marked + and – should be connected to the proper positive and negative wires of the load.
  • Page 13 + terminal on all other devices. Likewise, make sure that the wires connected to the – and SH terminals at the C-100MB SmartBob control console are also connected to the – and SH terminals, respectively, on all other devices. Do not connect the wires or shield to anything other than that specified.

  • Page 14: Lightning/Surge Protection

    Both the power source and an RS-485 network are a means for electrical surges to enter the C-100MB SmartBob control console and do damage. Although some level of protection from electrical surges is built into the C-100MB SmartBob control console, there are options to further protecting your investment.

Select Setup if you need to change user display preferences, setup vessel parameters, SmartBob network settings or configure the Expansion network.
  • Page 19 SB-485 Termination This is a menu for setting whether the SmartBob network termination is switched In or Out. If the console is the final device connected at either end of the SmartBob network choose In, otherwise choose Out. The default setting is In. The termination must be set prior to running Auto Add/Remove or any measurement process.
  • Page 20 If weight calculations are disabled, this is simply for setting the overall height of the vessel, sensor offset and maximum drop. The first screen is for selecting the vessel(s) to be configured, the second screen is for entering the vessel height of the selected vessel(s), the third screen is for setting a headroom offset and the fourth for setting maximum drop distance.
  • Page 21 Select Vessel(s) to Edit Vessel Shape Circular Rectangular Body Height Body Height Body Radius Body Width 1 Body Width 2 Hopper Present Hopper Present Hopper Height Hopper Height Outlet Radius Outlet Width 1 Outlet Width 2 Sensor Offset Product Density I/O Assignment This is a menu for assigning SmartBob sensors to the onboard I/O port.
  • Page 22 When weight calculations are disabled, this output is a percentage of the headroom height or product height. When weight calculations are enabled, this output is a percentage of the headroom weight or product weight. 4-20mA Error This is a menu for setting what the 4-20mA output error level will be, the operator can choose between 2mA and 22mA.
  • Page 23 This is a menu that allows the operator to select either the English or Spanish language for displaying the text-based menu system. The default is English. This menu is also presented to the user when the C-100MB SmartBob control console is powered up for the very first time.

    5.0 Modbus Slave Interface The section specifies how the Model C-100MB SmartBob console is implemented as a Modbus slave at the EX-485 port and how to use Modbus to interface to it. For Modbus specifications, refer to the following documents online at www.modbus.org: Modbus Application Protocol Specification, v1.1b...

  • Page 25: Summary Register List

    Two Modbus function codes are supported for accessing the summary registers and the SmartBob registers. Read Holding Registers (03) – Valid addresses in a request to Modbus address 247 must be in • the range 4x0001 to 4x0490 (0000h to 01E9h), with a maximum of 120 registers per request. Valid addresses in a request to Modbus addresses 001 to 120 must be in the range 4x0001 to 4x0005 (0000h to 0004h), with a maximum of 5 registers per request.
  • Page 26 Register Access Name and Description 4x0011 Measurement Status – One hundred twenty registers, each one containing the measurement status for a SmartBob. Any value other than 0 (idle) indicates a 4x0130 measurement is in progress. Use the following to determine the register address corresponding to a known SmartBob address: register_addr = 4x0010 + smartbob_addr Measurement Status values are as follows:...
  • Page 27 4x0490 the SmartBob drop measurement, the vessel parameters and the product density configured in the console. See the C-100MB operator’s manual for details on what settings can affect this value. Divide this value by 100 to obtain a percentage. For example, if it reads 6421, then the corresponding vessel is 64.21% full of product.
