SERIES 900 SMART PROGRAMMABLE RELAYS

INTRODUCTION

THE C3CONTROLS SERIES 900 SMART PROGRAMMABLE RELAY PROVIDES THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR ALL YOUR CONTROL NEEDS!

Providing excellent performance and functionality, the Series 900 relay performs simple logic, timing, counting, and real time clock operations. It is
an ideal programmable controller designed for use in small commercial and industrial automation sectors, including packaging machines, printing
machines, commercial building controls, parking controls, lighting applications, and more, where cost is a primary design issue. All programming and
data adjustments can be done via the on-board keypad and display or with the help of the software.

Programming the Series 900 relay with the SPR-soft III software is quite simple, even without particular programming knowledge. It facilitates
program generation, project simulation, and documentation which are accomplished simply by using the pick and place functionality, allowing
maximum ease of operation.

BASE MODULE EXPANSION MODULE COMMUNICATION MODULE

FEATURES

• Integrated, ready to use, wide range of programmable functions
including 16 timers, 16 (retentive selectable) counters, 16 time switches,
16 compare counters, 16 soft text messages, 64 auxiliary relays and 12
analog comparators.

• 8 digital inputs & 4 relay outputs. Two analog inputs (0-10V) in 12-24V
DC, model which can be used as digital inputs.

• Ability to add up to three (3) expansion modules expanding I/O’s to 32
digital inputs, 16 relay outputs.

• Communication module allows programmable relay to be connected to
a Modbus network through RS 485 link.

• Backlit LCD screen for display and modication of pre-selected
parameters of function blocks, viewing I/O status and programming on
the device.

• Ladder programming using software on PC as well as on the device with
the help of keypad & LCD display.

• Memory back up allowing programs to be transferred or copied into
another Series 900 relay with the help of a memory card.

• Compact size 72mm (2-53/64”) wide x 90mm (3-35/64”) high x 65mm (2­9/16”) deep, reducing panel area requirements for lower installed costs.

• Soft keys for convenient creation and editing of programs on the device.

• Available in both: AC (110-240V AC) & DC (12-24V DC) models.

• Password & Parameter lock facility.

EXPANSION MODULE

• Can be used with base module to increase I/O capacity of the Series 900 relay.

• 8 digital inputs & 4 digital outputs.

• Connections are made in Daisy chain fashion.

• The Series 900 relay can be expanded by connecting 3 expansion
modules, to obtain a maximum conguration of 32 inputs and 16 outputs.

COMMUNICATION MODULE

• Provides Modbus communication through an RS 485 link.

• Possible to connect multiple Series 900 relays with a SCADA system or
an HMI over RS 485.

• Available in both AC (110-240V AC) & DC (12-24V DC) models.

• The connection between the communication module and Series 900
relay base module is made through the communication module’s
cable (included).

FRONT VIEW OF KEYPAD & FUNCTIONS OF KEYS

The 8 keys located on the front facia of the Series 900 relay are used to congure, program, and control the application. They perform the following actions:

DEL

This key is used to delete a program element or a blank line, if the cursor is
located at the extreme column.

ALT

This key is used for selecting/exiting a parameter in the edit mode and to
show either the parameters or program while the program is running. This
feature is also useful for debugging.

OK

This key is used to insert a program line, when the cursor is blinking in
the rst column of the rst row. During the parameter entry while editing
this key saves the changes and proceeds to next parameter. In RUN mode,
this key can be used to select one of the three displays. This also selects/
deselects links.

ARROW

On the program editor screen, the arrow keys are used to move up, left,
down and right. The position on screen is shown by a cursor or blinking
text.

AUXILIARY or Z-KEYS

Arrow keys are called auxiliary keys in RUN mode. They are used as push
buttons to get signals from the user. If the user goes in PAR (parameter)
mode, then these keys are not available as Z-keys. At that time these keys
are used as arrow keys.

ESC

This key is used to exit the menu or a selection. During the parameter
entry it proceeds to the next parameter without saving the changes.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

POWER SUPPLY WIRING

1. Although the Series 900 relay has been designed to withstand the
negative eects of any electrical noise that might be present in the
incoming power supply it may be necessary to insert an isolation
transformer between the supply and the line terminals of the Series
900 relay.

2. While using the DC Series 900 relay, run the 24V DC input line away
from any AC supply lines.

WIRING OF INPUT/OUTPUT

1. Separate the input and output lines.

2. When the output lines are positioned close to power supply lines or the
input lines shielding and separate grounding may be required.
