2.3Control unit functions
2.3.1Standard functions
The Mobrey MCU900 Series control unit provides these standard functions:
Calculation and display of the control unit Primary / Process Value(PV)
The control unit PV is typically a live transmitter reading, which can be any measured
value e.g. level, temperature, or pressure.
Alternatively, the control unit PV is a volume or flow value calculated using the live
transmitter level reading. The control unit is pre-programmed with standard tank
shapes and flow algorithms to simplify the configuration for calculating volume or flow
from the live transmitter level reading. A 20-point programmable look-up table is
provided for non-standard applications.
Output of measured variable as an isolated 4–20mA signal
The output signal is driven by the control unit Primary / Process Value (PV).
Relay control functions
There are five freely assignable relay outputs. By default, Relay 5 is a fault relay but can
be assigned to a control duty. The other relays are available to operate at user-entered
PV values.
Section 2: Control Unit Overview
June 2014
The control unit is pre-programmed with popular pump control routines for wet well
and sump control, along with energy saving overrides.
Voltage-free (digital) contact closure inputs
There are two digital input ports for accepting contact closure signals to override
control unit functions.
HART transmitter interrogation and programming
Any HART transmitter can be connected. The control unit recognizes the transmitter as
an “unknown instrument” but supports the Universal and Common Practice HART
commands (see Appendix E: Support for HART® Transmitters).
When a Mobrey MSP Series HART transmitter is connected, the control unit recognizes
the transmitter and allows full access to the transmitter’s configuration parameters.
Refer to the reference manual of the transmitter for full information about
programming the transmitter parameters (e.g. Transmitter Bottom Reference) using
the MCU900 Series control unit or other HART-based devices.
2.3.2Difference, sum, and product functions (on MCU902 only)
The Mobrey MCU902 Differential control unit has all the functions of the standard control unit,
plus extra functions for calculating the difference, sum, or product of two separate inputs from
HART transmitters.
2.3.3Data logging functions (on MCU90F only)
The Mobrey MCU90F Logging control unit has all the functions of the standard control unit, plus
a 7000 event logging function.

3.4.3Power connections
When the control unit is powered by mains alternating current (ac) power, select the voltage as
115V or 230V using the voltage-selector slide switch.
When the control unit is direct current (dc) powered, ensure the supply is adequate (15 to 30
Vdc). Do not exceed 30 Vdc.
A switch or circuit breaker should be installed in close proximity to the instrument, and labelled
as such. Although the Mobrey MCU900 Series control unit meets all European standards for
surge immunity on power and signal lines, it is recommended that lightning suppressors are
also fitted if local conditions make this advisable.
3.4.4Earthing connections
The IP-rated Mobrey MCU900 Series control unit is double insulated and does not require a
mains earth.
Do not connect terminal 30 to a mains earth. Terminal 30 is provided for use as an intrinsically
safe (or functional) earth connection, which must be used when a transmitter is mounted in a
hazardous area and is connected to terminals 1 and 2.
Reference Manual
IP2030/RM, Rev AA
Terminal 3 is to be used for connection of a twisted-pair cable screen (shield) when the control
unit is powering the transmitter (see Figure 3-4 on page 17). This screen (shield) should be left
unconnected at the transmitter end unless there is a terminal provided for this purpose.
When connected to equipment located in a hazardous area, not meeting the requirements of
clause 6.3.12 (Isolation of circuits from earth or frame) in IEC 60079-11:2006
(EN 60079-11:2007), equipotential earthing must be ensured between the equipment and the
intrinsically safe earth. An example of equipotential earthing is a cable with a cross-sectional
2
area greater than 4 mm
and a resistance of less than 1 ohm.
3.4.5Transmitter connections and cabling
Connection of a transmitter to the control unit does not confer intrinsic safety on the
transmitter. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure any transmitter installed in a hazardous
area is suitable for use and certified accordingly. The installation should be in accordance with a
recognized code of practice.
Check that the electrical parameters of the installed system of control unit, transmitter, any
loop-powered devices, and interconnecting cable to ensure compliance with the product
certificates and technical data. Particular attention must be given to the cable and the
transmitter to ensure that the total capacitance and inductance limits stated in the technical
data in Appendix B: Product Certifications are not exceeded.
Cable joins are allowable in cabling the transmitter, provided that the joint is made within an
IP20/NEMA 3 (minimum) enclosure suitable for the environment, and that wiring withstands a
test voltage of 500 V r.m.s. to earth.
The maximum length of cable permissible between the transmitter and control unit is
determined by limits imposed by the intrinsic safety certificates of the instruments and control
drawings.

No other outputs from the control unit must be routed through a hazardous area unless
protected by an additional I.S. Barrier (not supplied).
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that any transmitter is installed in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the transmitter.
Cable between the MCU900 Series control unit and a transmitter should be shielded
twisted-pair with the shield connected to terminal 3 (marked with earth symbol) on the
MCU900 Series control unit. The shield should be left unconnected at the transmitter unless
there is a terminal specifically provided for this purpose.
Cable runs should be separate from any high voltage or mains cables to avoid crosstalk or
interference. Multi-core cable may be used if the other cores carry only low voltage (24 Vdc
nominal) signals and each pair of cores is individually screened (shielded).
Loop-powered transmitters must be connected to terminals 1, 2, and 3 on the control unit
(see Figure 3-4).
The MCU900 Series control unit supplies 23 Vdc from a 400 Ohm source to power transmitters.
Separately powered transmitters must be connected to terminals 2 and 3 (see Figure 3-5).

3.4.6Connecting HART transmitters to the Mobrey MCU902
The Mobrey MCU902 control unit takes the input from two HART transmitters and calculates
the sum, difference, or product of the two inputs.
Note
The transmitters must be HART compatible for the MCU902 to operate correctly.
Connection of the two transmitters to the MCU902 can be done by:
cabling both transmitter cables wired directly into Current Input terminals on the
MCU902 (Figure 3-6), or
using a single cable wired directly into Current Input terminals with the two
transmitters connected to this single cable via a suitable junction box (Figure 3-6).
Figure 3-6. Connecting two HART transmitters to the Mobrey MCU902
A. HART Transmitter Tx1
B. HART Transmitter Tx2
C. Junction box
For correct operation, each HART transmitter must be changed to “multi-drop” mode to allow
them to communicate with the Mobrey MCU902 control unit through a common connection.
Each HART transmitter must therefore have their poll address changed from the factory default
address of “0” to a unique address.
The MCU902 control unit is used to achieve this address change, but requires the transmitters
to be connected in a specific sequence as detailed here:
1.With the power supply turned off, connect the first HART transmitter to the Current
Input terminals on the MCU902 control unit (see Figure 3-6).
2.Check the voltage-selector-switch is set for the correct voltage on the
mains-powered control unit (115 or 230 Vac), and then turn the power on.
3.After applying power, the control unit searches for a HART transmitter.
A HART transmitter with the factory default polling address of 0 is found after 15
seconds. The control unit automatically changes the Transmitter Poll Address from “0”
to “1” and it is designated “Tx1” (Transmitter 1) and assigned to Channel 1.
The control unit reads parameters from the HART transmitter and makes them
available for local interrogation and programming within the menu system.

4.When an un-configured Mobrey MSP Series Level Transmitter is being used for the first
time, a prompt appears asking for the Trans mitter [1] B ottom Refe r ence.
If commissioning the system now, edit and save a new Transmitter Bottom Reference or
keep the existing Transmitter Bottom Reference. After the start-up process is complete,
the display appears showing a measurement e.g. liquid level or the menu system.
If the system is not to be commissioned at this time, simply switch off the power and
the same prompt re-appears when switching on the power next time. The Transmitter
Bottom Reference can be changed later, but it is better to get it correct now.
Note
If the Re-connecting to Digital Transmitter message does not appear, check that the
operating mode of the control unit is set to Run App mode (see page 38) and that the
Input Channel Source is set for a digital HART input (see page 48 or page 50)
5.Turn the power supply off and connect the second HART transmitter (see Figure 3-6),
such that both HART transmitters are connected at the same time.
6.Turn the power supply on.
7.The MCU902 control unit searches for, and detects, the two connected HART
transmitters.
After the second HART transmitter is found, the control unit automatically changes the
Transmitter Poll Address from “0” to “2” and it is designated “Tx2” (Transmitter 2) and
assigned to Channel 2.
The control unit reads parameters from the HART transmitter and makes them
available for local interrogation and programming within the menu system.
8.When an un-configured Mobrey MSP Series Level Transmitter is being used for the first
time, a prompt appears asking for the Trans mitter [2] B ottom Refe r ence.
If commissioning the system now, edit and save a new Transmitter Bottom Reference or
keep the existing Transmitter Bottom Reference. After the start-up process is complete,
the display appears showing a measurement e.g. liquid level or the menu system.
If the system is not to be commissioned at this time, simply switch off the power and
the same prompt re-appears when switching on the power next time. The Transmitter
Bottom Reference can be changed later, but it is better to get it correct now.
9.The two HART transmitters are now known to the control unit, and will be remembered
each time the power is switched off and on.

3.4.7Relay connections
The five voltage-free contact relays are grouped as shown in Tab l e 3 -3 . Whilst each relay is
individually double-insulated, their arrangement is such that the insulation between relays in
the same group is standard or ‘basic’ insulation. Care must be taken in order to avoid the risk of electric shock. It is allowed to use relays in the same group to control circuits with both mains
and dc, or low voltage circuits.
Note
The relay labels (NO-C-NC) in Ta b l e 3- 1 and Ta bl e 3 - 2 represent the relay terminals in
the de-energized state.

3.4.8Current output connections
The Current Output may be connected in internally-powered or loop-powered mode, as shown in
Figure 3-7. In loop-powered mode, an external power source is required. A minimum of 2.5 V dc
is required across terminals 7 and 8 for correct operation. The voltage must not exceed 30 Vdc.

3.4.10RS232 connections
The RS232 connections, terminals 4, 5 and 6, are for downloading logged data to a PC or a
handheld device.
Wall-mountable Mobrey MCU90F control units are supplied with a factory pre-fitted
RS232 data-download socket, which is also pre-wired to terminals 4, 5, and 6.
The panel-mountable Mobrey MCU90F control unit is supplied with a data-download
socket ready to be fitted to a panel (see Figure 3-9 on page 22) and then wired to
terminals 4, 5, and 6 on the rear of the control unit (see Figure 3-10 on page 23).
When there is data to be downloaded using Mobrey LOG-VIEW or other software, connect the
RS232 data-download cable supplied with the socket (see Figure 3-11 on page 23).
