Safety Precautions

Incorrect handling may cause death or injury
(1) Before connecting the fittings, check that no damage or defects are found on the fittings.
Make connections properly and make sure that a leak test is conducted before actual
operation to prevent fluid from leaking into the atmosphere (
is referred as
"gas" or "fluid").
(2) DO NOT apply any corrosive fluid to materials exposed to gas. Corrosion may cause gas
to leak into the atmosphere.
(3) This device is not designed as an explosion proof structure. DO NOT use this device in a
place where explosion-proof structures are required. Doing so may cause fire or explosion.
Incorrect handling may lead to medium or slight injury or may
cause damage to, or loss of, facilities or equipment
(1) Observe the precautions listed in the WARNING (above).
(2) Strictly observe the electrical specifications. Not doing so may cause fire, damage to
sensors or malfunction.
(3) This device is not designed to be waterproof. DO NOT locate this device outdoors or in a
place where it may be splashed with water. Doing so may cause fire, trouble, or
malfunction of the device.
(4) DO NOT modify this device. It may cause fire or other problems.
(5) This device is not designed to handle hot swap. Please avoid attaching and removing the
power supply connector and interface connector with the power switched on. Attachment
and/or removal with the power on may result in failure of the device.
(6) This device is a precious device, please handle it carefully. Dropping down or handling it
carelessly will cause damage. Please use assist instrument while moving or setting the
device.
(7) Regular maintenance is recommended for steady use of this device (Recommended
proofreading frequency is once a year).

1. Introduction

This manual explains basic operation of the MC-5000L series (Hereinafter referred
as "MFC"). MFC is equipped with a network interface, and can be operated by
connecting to a network environment of Device Net ™.
Since MFC is a slave device, please prepare a master device of Device Net ™
network interface.
The device profile follows the MFC profile in ODVA specification.
Please go through the ODVA specification and device profile manual of MC-5000L
for proper use.

2. Summary

The MFC is high performance mass flow controller for gas using thermal flow
sensor and high response piezoelectric valve. In the MFC model, MO type and
MC type are available depending on the kind of valve operation mode. Also,
MFC interface employs Device Net™ network, so MFC is compatible with other
makers.

3. Features

The MFC is the following features.
(1) LINTEC's proprietary ambient temperature compensation type flow sensor is carried.
· Low sensor temperature, long-time steady monitor, and few problems such
as degradation of gas to be monitored.
· The effect of ambient temperature is less because the sensor temperature is
kept at the ambient temperature.
· Steady temperature distribution of sensor and high-speed response.
(2) Digital computing system with microprocessor and high-resolution A/D, D/A
converter is carried.
· High functionality.
· By setting of device number (address), multiple devices can be controlled
through a single interface.
· Many additional are provided as standard, e.g., totalizer function, zero adjust,
ramping function.
(3) MFC employs Device Net™ network protocol.
(4) Small dead space structure using a diaphragm valve.
(5) Single power supply 11 to 25VDC.
(6) Superior corrosion resistant sealing materials make maintenance easy. Metal
seals (Au).
(7) Particle-free structure.
(8) By using a metal case and various types of filters, steady operation can achieve
even in an environment of high-frequency noise and stationary magnetic field.
(9) Based on RoHS.

4. Structure

The MFC consists of sensors, bypass, valves, and a microcomputer for signal
processing. A digital PID feedback control system controls the valve action so that
flow rate output from the sensor agrees with flow rate setting value.
