Page 5: Introduction
485 network. The Model C-50 is for interfacing the SmartBob system to a PLC or DCS system. Each Model C-50 expansion console supports up to 6 analog I/O cards, each with 4 ports, for a total of 24 analog I/O ports per C-50. With five C-50’s each SmartBob sensor can have its own I/O port. Each input can be used for externally starting a measurement and each output provides for a 4-20mA current output of the last measurement. - 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 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 3.2.2 SB-485 for SmartBob Network The SB-485 connection (CN7) is a three wire terminal block located near the center of the printed circuit board and is for connection to the SmartBob RS-485 network. Two terminal screws marked + and – should be connected to the positive and negative wires of the SmartBob network cable.
- Page 11 SH should be connected to the shield of the RS-485 network cable. Do NOT connect the shield to earth. These three connections at this terminal block are optional and only needed when connecting BinMaster C-50 expansion units to the system.

Page 12: Rs-485 Network Requirements
Troubleshooting communications errors can be expensive and time consuming, so BinMaster strongly encourages you to take adequate time in understanding and installing the RS-485 networks and to use quality cabling and connection techniques. - Page 13 Termination All BinMaster RS-485 networks must be terminated at both ends with a 120Ω resistor for proper operation and reliability. Normally this is done by the two devices connected at the very ends of the network cable. On some devices the termination is set ON or OFF by a slide switch labeled “NTR”...

- Page 18 4.2.1 Main Menu The Main menu has two selections: Measure/View and Setup. Select Measure/View if you want to take an immediate measurement or view the results of the last measurement. 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 of the network. 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 Density C-50 Setup This is a menu for automatic setup of Model C-50’s connected to the expansion port (EX-485). The operator can choose between Enabled and Disabled. The operator must use Add/Remove or Auto Add/Remove prior to making this selection. The default setting is Disabled.
- Page 22 SmartBob sensor in this list, but it defaults to the first address available in the list. If C-50 setup is enabled, then the operator will use this menu for viewing the current assignments between multiple SmartBob sensors and multiple I/O ports located on the C-50 network. On the left is the address of the SmartBob sensor and to its right is the I/O port that is assigned to it.
