Description The Mercury Switch (PR0018) is a device that allows up to 10 RDM Mercury controllers to be connected to an IP network, without the need for individual IP Futura modules. There are 10 RS232 connections for linking to 10 Mercury controllers. There are 3 standard Ethernet Switch (10/100baseT) connections for other network devices.
Connection to another Mercury Hub/Switch or Other Ethernet Hub/switch Use a standard CAT5 patch lead from any of the 3 10/100 Base T ports into any of the 3 10/100 Base T ports on the upstream Mercury Switch. The 3 10/100 Base T ports are all self configuring.
PR0018-PHI User Guide The PR0018-PHI hardware version of the Mercury Switch allows for EEV Control on an island by island basis. It also allows for the use of the energy feature Trim Control which pulses the trim relay of a Mercury case controller based on the actual shop floor humidity therefore minimising energy usage.
Unlike the PR0018 (Standard Mercury Switch version) when this product is used with a Data Manager/Data Director it is registered on the system as a device. Once the Mercury Switch is on-line, the Switch type and parameters can be set up. The switch comes online with the ID of the 2 rotary switch settings followed by the letter a.
IP-r (IP Address issued by the DHCP server) To configure the Mercury Switch for IP-r, set the two rotary switches to give each controller a unique identifier. The controller should then be connected to the network.
2 = Remote 2 3 = Remote 3 * Span and Offset allows for the full range of the transducer to be used by the Mercury Switch. Span is the full range of the transducer Offset is the value below zero.
Remote 3 – Uses the Remote Plant controllers Transducer Input 3 Note: Mercury Switch pressure units must match that of the Plant Pack controller it is mapped to e.g. both devices have to be set to Bar or PSI...
Note If the Plant/Intuitive Pack Controller being read from is set to Bar then the Mercury Switch has to be set for Bar (Type 1 or 3) If the Controller being read from is set to PSI then the Mercury Switch has to be set for PSI (Type 2 or 4).
50%. If Mercury 6-5M controllers are connected to the Switch then the LLV will be closed when the MOP alarm is created and return to normal operation when the alarm clears. When the pressure reduces below the MOP diff the valves will revert to normal operation at 1 minute intervals.
It is possible to set the Mercury Switch humidity control to operate at specific times. For this operation to occur set the parameter “Trim Mode” to “Remote”. A GP Timer channel must be set up to control the timer on/off periods of the Mercury Switch. For GP Timer set up please refer to the Data Manager user guide found on the RDM website.
Data Manager/Data Director. Find the IP address assigned to the Mercury Switch in question from the list. Now connect a laptop onto the IP network on which the Mercury Switch is connected. Using a web browser navigate to the IP address of the Mercury Switch.
