Model 9200 Programmable Dual-loop Controller

Additional Features

The Operator Interface (touch screen) contains a removable compact flash card that can be used to transfer data from the Model 9200 to a computer. This flash card acts like a removable hard drive, however it is very small and contains no moving parts to make it very portable. It is located on the back of the display (see Flash Card Installation on Page #9).

Also included is a Utility Software CD that includes SSi’s Super Data (SD) Charting. SD Charting is a utility program that can be loaded onto any Windows® based computer (operating Windows 98® or higher). This software will allow the computer to read the data from the Model 9200, and allow it to be charted in a manner that is similar to a strip chart recorder.

The Operator Interface is normally accessed via the touch-screen, however connections also exist that will allow the operator to use a traditional mouse and keyboard to enter information.

Ethernet Connections

The Ethernet connection has three distinct uses. The first is, should the Operator Interface fail, it allows a laptop to be connected to the Series 9200 DIN rail mounted unit. This connection can act as a LIMITED FUNCTION “operator interface” until the Operator Interface can be repaired or replaced. The laptop needs to be operating a WINDOWS 98® or higher with Internet Explorer. The default IP address is 192.168.1.200. If you are experiencing problems please call 800-666-4330 and talk with our computer communications personnel. The second use for the Ethernet port would be for communications to a SCADA software package. Call us at 800-666-4330if you are interested in this option. The third use for the Ethernet Port is the primary communications connection for the Configurator Software.

Mechanical Installation

The Model 9200 operator interface is generally flush-mounted, either in an existing enclosure, on a “plate” that will be retrofitted to an existing enclosure, or on a new enclosure specifically designed for it’s particular application. Installation begins by securing the new enclosure to the floor or wall, securing the retrofit plate to the door of the existing enclosure, or flush-mounting the operator interface in a cut-out of the existing enclosure. When tightening the retaining clips on the Operator Interface, it is important to make them snug but not to over-tighten them. Over-tightening can warp the bezel and cause irreparable damage to the Operator Interface. The DIN rail mount portion of the controller (the Model 9200 and the 24 VDC power supply) needs to be located in close proximity to the existing wires that were connected to the older control unit being replaced. These units should be secured prior to making any electrical connections.
