1 Safety instructions
Safety instructions
Intended use
The amplifier system is to be used exclusively for measurement tasks and
directly related control tasks. Use for any purpose other than the above is
deemed to be non-designated use.
In the interests of safety, the device should only be operated as described in
the operating manuals. It is also essential to comply with the legal and
safety requirements for the relevant application during use. The same ap
plies to the use of accessories.
Each time, before starting up the equipment, you must first run a project
planning and risk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of
automation technology. This particularly concerns personal and machine
protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions
could cause major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the
event of a fault, these precautions establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling,
limit switches, etc.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The amplifier system is a state of the art unit and as such is reliable. The
device may give rise to residual dangers if it is inappropriately installed and
operated by untrained personnel.
Any person instructed to carry out installation, commissioning, maintenance
or repair of the device must have read and understood the operating
manuals and in particular the technical safety instructions.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the amplifier system covers only a
small area of measurement technology. In addition, equipment planners,
installers and operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety
engineering considerations of measurement technology in such a way as to
minimize residual dangers. On-site regulations must be complied with at all
times. There must be reference to the residual dangers connected with
measurement technology.
MGCplus A0534-30.0 HBM: public 11
Safety instructions
After making settings and carrying out activities that are passwordprotected, you must make sure that any controls that may be connected re
main in a safe condition until the switching performance of the amplifier
system has been tested.
Working safely
The supply voltage connection, as well as the signal and sense leads, must
be installed in such a way that electromagnetic interference does not ad
versely affect device functionality (HBM recommendation: "Greenline
shielding design", can be downloaded from http://www.hbm.com/Greenline).
Automation equipment and devices must be designed in such a way that
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided
(access checks, password protection, etc.).
When devices are working in a network, these networks must be designed
in such a way that malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and
shut down.
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software,
so that a line break or other interruptions to signal transmission, such as via
the bus interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the auto
mation device.
Error messages should only be acknowledged once the cause of the error is
removed and there is no further danger.
Conversions and modifications
The amplifier system must not be modified from the design or safety engi
neering point of view except with our express agreement. Any modification
shall exclude all liability on our part for any resultant damage.
In particular, any repair or soldering work on motherboards (replacement of
components, apart from EPROMs) is prohibited. When exchanging com
plete modules, use only original parts from HBM.
The amplifier system and/or individual components are delivered from the
factory with a fixed hardware and software configuration. Changes can only
be made within the possibilities documented in the operating manuals.
Qualified personnel
are persons entrusted with siting, mounting, starting up and operating the
product and who possess the appropriate qualifications for their function.
12 A0534-30.0 HBM: public MGCplus
Safety instructions
This device is only to be installed and used by qualified personnel strictly in
accordance with the specifications and with the safety rules and regulations
which follow. It is also essential to comply with the legal and safety require
ments for the relevant application during use. The same applies to the use
of accessories.
Qualified personnel includes people who meet at least one of the following
requirements:
- Knowledge of the safety concepts of automation technology is a re
quirement and as project personnel, you must be familiar with these
concepts.
- As automation plant operating personnel, you have been instructed
how to handle the machinery and are familiar with the operation of the
systems, components and technologies described in this documenta
tion.
- As commissioning engineers or service engineers, you have success
fully completed the training to qualify you to repair the automation sys
tems. You are also authorized to activate, ground and label circuits
and equipment in accordance with safety engineering standards.
Safety rules
Before starting up, make sure that the mains voltage and type of current
stated on the type plate match the mains voltage and type of current at the
place of operation and that the circuit used is sufficiently protected.
The mains plug must only be inserted into a grounded socket with a protec
tion switch (protection class I).
Use only the mains cable included with delivery, which is fitted with a ferrite
core.
The device must be switched off and the mains plug disconnected from the
socket before opening the device.
Never pull the mains plug out of its socket by the supply lead.
Do not operate the device if the mains lead is damaged.
If an amplifier channel is removed, the module must be sealed with a blind
panel.
Only operate built-in devices once they are installed in the housing pro
vided.
MGCplus A0534-30.0 HBM: public 13
Electromagnetic compatibility
The device complies with the safety requirements of DIN EN 61010 Part 1
(VDE 0411 Part 1); protection class I.
The insulation resistance of the connecting cables (v50V) must be at least
350V(AC).
1.1 Electromagnetic compatibility
The MGCplus device has been tested based on EMC product standard
EN 61326-1:2013. This standard includes definitions of limit values and test
levels for various electromagnetic environments.
Regarding emission (EME), requirements are included for class A (industrial
environments) and class B (residential, business and commercial environ
ments as well as small businesses). Laboratory applications also usually
require class B.
The product standard here references to EN 55011:2009+A1:2010.
Regarding immunity to interference, the product standard includes require
ments for controlled electro-magnetic environments (lowest requirements),
general environments and industrial environments (highest requirement).
MGCplus meet the following requirements:
-
Emission (EME): Class B
- Immunity to interference: Industrial environment
The MGCplus series and the individual modules thus essentially meet the
highest requirements and are therefore suitable for use in all environments
described in the product standard.

Introduction
System description
3.3 System description
The MGCplus system is structured modularly. Depending on the housing
variant, up to 16 slots are available for single and multi-channel amplifier
modules. Thus up to 128 measuring points can be measured in an
MGCplus.
Each amplifier module works independently through its own CPU. Data
preparation, for example taring, filtering and measuring range adjustment, is
carried out digitally. This eliminates the disadvantages of analog data prepa
ration, such as time and temperature-dependent drift, errors due to compo
nent tolerances, greatly limited flexibility and extensive circuitry. An essen
tial precondition for this is analog/digital conversion with no loss of
information. The digitally conditioned signal is directed to the internal bus.
For single-channel modules, two analog outputs (voltage) are available in
addition to the digital measured values.
An internal standard PC computer in credit-card format collects data with a
total sampling rate of up to 307,200 measured values per second (4-byte
integer format: 3-byte measured value + 1-byte status). All measurement
signals can be acquired in parallel, since each channel has its own ADU. No
Sample & Hold or Multiplexer is used in the MGCplus. This ensures continu
ous digital filtering and maximum signal stability.
Data is sent to an external computer or PLC via interfaces such as Ethernet.
A large part of the system functionality is implemented by device-internal
software (also called firmware). We therefore recommend you use our free
firmware updates and always keep your devices updated to the latest
firmware version. For further information go to www.hbm.com/downloads.

Introduction
Installation of the CP52 communication processor
3.7 Installation of the CP52 communication processor
For type "D" housings (ER003D or TG001D, etc.) the existing communica
tion processor (CP22/CP42) can be replaced by the CP52 communication
processor.
► Loosen the screws on the old communication processor, the blind panel
(only with CP22) and the cover of the NT030 power supply unit.
► Remove the parts.
► Insert the new CP52 communication processor and screw it in place.
► Fit the power supply cover of the NT030 and screw the cover in place.
The process is similar when subsequently installing a CP52 communication
processor in an MGCplus housing (type "D" or type "E") that was initially
configured without a communication processor.
► Loosen the screws on the blind panels, if there are any, of the SY03 syn
chronization interface and the power supply cover.
► Remove the parts.
► Insert the new CP52 communication processor and screw it in place.
► Fit the power supply cover of the NT030 or NT040 and screw the cover
in place.

If the communication processor is installed subsequently in a system where
none was present before, the housing cover must also be removed to check
the setting of the CP switch (S3). It must be set to "yes" so the system can
be started with the communication processor. Then the housing cover can
be closed again.

Due to the new functions of the CP52 communication processor, a firmware
update of the AB22A display and control unit is necessary. The firmware
update program MGCpLoad and the latest firmware are available from
www.hbm.com/downloads.

Introduction
Conditions at the place of installation
3.8 Conditions at the place of installation
CAUTION
S Protect the devices in a desktop housing from moisture and dampness
or weather conditions such as rain, snow, etc.
S Make sure that you do not cover the ventilation openings at the side, the
openings for the power pack fan on the back side of the device and the
openings underneath the device.
S Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
S Comply with the maximum permissible ambient temperatures for the sys
tem devices, as stated in the technical data sheet.
S For installation in 19" electrical enclosures, due to poorer heat dissipa
tion, measures must be taken to ensure that the maximum permitted am
bient temperature (refer to the technical data sheet) is not exceeded! We
recommend forced venting in any case and in especially critical cases
intermediate spaces between the upper and lower rack frames.
S The devices are classified in overvoltage category II, degree of pollution 2.
S Install the device so that it can be disconnected from the mains at any
time without difficulty.
S It is safe to operate the MGCplus up to an altitude of 2000 m.

Introduction
Maintenance and cleaning
3.9 Maintenance and cleaning
The MGCplus system devices are maintenance-free. Please note the follow
ing points when cleaning the housing:
CAUTION
Disconnect the mains plug from the socket before cleaning.
S Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!) cloth. You should
never use solvents, since this may damage the labeling on the front
panel and the display field.
S When cleaning, ensure that no liquid gets into the device or connections.
