Modular Pressure Controller
CPC6050
3 General Description
The CPC6050 Modular Pressure Controller is a multi-channel / multi-range automatic pressure controller
designed to test and calibrate a variety of pressure devices such as pressure gauges, pressure switches,
sensors, transducers and transmitters in either absolute gauge, bidirectional or dierential pressure
modes. The CPC6050 can have up to two independent control channels (two pressure control outputs
working independently) and an optional barometric reference for gauge or absolute emulation. When two
channels are installed, a Delta Channel mode can be enabled that will display the dierence between
Channel A and B (either A-B or B-A). Each control channel has its own pressure regulating module
(either a Low Pressure Pump Module or a Solenoid Valve Regulator Module) and up to two transducers
per module. The CPC6050 is available as a desktop or a rack mountable instrument.
Optional congurations of the CPC6050:
1. Single Output / Auto Range Version: Provides a single out-
put over the total range of the two internal control modules
and across the range of four internal transducers; 400:1
turndown.
2. Single Output / Dual Channel Version: Provides a single
output with a choice of controlling with the internal control
module A or B.

3.5 Chassis Assembly
The chassis assembly is the housing for the system. The control modules and transducers are each selfcontained inside the chassis and either can be replaced using basic hand tools.
Figure 3.5 - Chassis Assembly
3.5.1 Control Module
The control module is referred to as the “Solenoid Valve Regulator” (SVR Module) or the "Pump Module."
The Pump Module is available in a single version and the SVR Module is available in four variations depending on the working pressure range:
• Low Pressure Pump Module (LPPump)
• Low Pressure SVR Module (LPSVR)
• Medium Pressure SVR Module (MPSVR)
• High Pressure SVR Module (HPSVR)
• Extra High Pressure SVR Module (EPSVR)
Pressure limits for all of these are specied in Section 4, Specications.
Each control module includes platforms for up to two high performance pressure transducers, CPR6050,
which are traceable to NIST standards. Both of these transducers can be used in conjunction with the
highly stable pressure regulator to produce a precise output. Each transducer includes its own on-board
compensation and calibration data so that any transducer can be replaced in the instrument without
requiring a recalibration.

5.3 Mounting
The instrument can be set up on a desk top or it can be rack-mounted. Rack mount hardware is optional
on the CPC6050 (see Section 5.2 Dimensions and Section 8, Options).
The special transducers used in the CPC6050 are relatively insensitive to tilt and vibration. However to
further assure stability and accuracy, avoid mounting the instrument on surfaces subject to excessive motor or machinery vibration.
5.4 Rear Panel
Up to eleven pneumatic pressure ports are located across the rear panel. The channel with gauge transducers will have a reference and a pressure port. The channel with absolute transducers will use the
pressure port. In the upper right corner next to the instrument label is a 10-32 UNF tting, which is connected to the barometric reference if installed. The connections for digital I/O for each channel are located on the top on either side of the ventilation fan. Positioned on the right side is the RS-232, Ethernet,
IEEE- 488, USB device connections for communication, the USB host connection and the 12 VDC power
input.

!
Warning
i
Notice
All pressure ports on the rear apart from the Vent Port are female 7/16 - 20 SAE/MS straight threads per
MS16142 and SAE J514 table 14. Connected adaptors require a tube tting boss seal with an o-ring per
MS33656. Mensor can provide a variety of adapter ttings (see Section 8 Options) with the instrument.
Do not use sealant on ttings sealed with an o-ring. The integrity of each seal is particularly important
since even microscopic leaks can cause errors in pressure measurements.
Operating Instructions - CPC6050 23
formed by trained, authorized personnel, knowledgeable in the safety regulations
for working on pneumatic/hydraulic systems
Up to 11 pressure connections are on the rear panel. Pressure connections that are not
assigned are plugged.
Modular Pressure Controller
CPC6050
5.4.2 Supply Port
The pressure supplied to the pressure connection labeled “Supply” should be approximately 10% higher
than the full scale of the highest pressure transducer installed in the controller channel or 10 psi, which-
ever is greater. With a Pump Module, supply pressure is turned o for primary transducers with pressure
ranges less than 3 psi. Supply pressure to a Pump Module is only necessary if it is called for to increase
the control speed. In this mode, a Pump Module will use the supply pressure to quickly control close to
the set point before the internal pump takes over and ramps into the set point with precision.
5.4.3 Exhaust Port
The pressure connection labeled “Exhaust” is for the vacuum supply. In a gauge pressure version it can
be left open to atmospheric pressure.
5.4.4 Vent Port
The pressure connection labeled “Vent” is the port where the system pressure is vented to the atmosphere under certain conditions. Leave this port as is.
5.4.5 Measure / Control Port
The Measure / Control port (when in the Control mode) supplies pressure that is precisely controlled by
the controller. In the Measure mode, a pressure applied to the Measure / Control port is measured by the
internal transducers.
5.4.6 Reference Port
The reference port is available on gauge units that have transducers that are not sealed gauge units. For
these units this port is available to connect to the reference side of the transducer. This port is normally
left open to atmosphere but may be connected to a stable reference pressure. In an absolute pressure
transducer this port is not used.
5.4.7 Barometric Reference Port
The Barometric Reference port is connected to the optional internal barometer and should be left open to
atmospheric pressure.
5.5 Remote Communication Connections
See Section 7, Remote Operation, for connections and commands for operation over IEEE-488, Ethernet, USB or RS-232 ports.
5.6 Power Up
Apply power to the power connector on the rear of the instrument using the power adaptor included, and
switch the power switch on the front of the unit ON. The instrument will go through an initialization process and system check. As soon as the system check is completed the system will default to a screen
similar to the one shown in Section 6.1.2 - Display Screen Features. The main measurement screen may
be congured in many dierent ways but initially it will be in a default conguration. Subsequently, the unit
will power up in the conguration that it was in when last powered o. Allow at least 15 minutes of warm
up before performing critical pressure measurements.

If the Zero Calibration function has been chosen in the Display Settings App (section 6.4.4), then the
Zero Cal Button [ ] will appear in the Home App. If the channel is measuring absolute pressure,
and the Zero Cal Button is pressed, a keyboard will appear to allow a single point calibration. If the channel is measuring gauge pressure, pressing the button will set the current reading to zero. If the channel
is in emulation mode (absolute or gauge) then the value will not be saved to the transducer but only as a
temporary adjustment while in emulation mode. After exiting the emulation mode or after a power cycle,
the temporary adjustment will be cleared. The zero adjustment for a channel not in emulation mode will
be saved to the transducer as if single point calibration had been performed.
Figure 6.4.1.6 shows two channels displayed, the zero cal function has been enabled for channel A. The
screen on the left shows both channels with zero buttons. The screen on the right shows the same two
channels, but the zero button on the absolute channel has been pressed, showing the keypad enabled to

6.4.3 Control Settings Application
The Control Settings App allows the user to select and congure the control parameters for
each channel's pressure regulating module (Pump Module or SVR Module). The display color
of the Control Settings App changes based on the selected channel. The display is green for
Channel A, and blue for Channel B. Figure 6.4.3-A shows the App display for Channel A. Figure 6.4.3-B shows the selection of channels for changing the control parameters. The Control
Settings App provides two preset control modes “Precision” and “High Speed” which aect the
“Control Behavior”, “Rate Setpoint”, “Stable Window” and “Stable Delay”. The Precision control mode is set as default and provides a stable control rate at medium overshoots. The High
Speed control mode provides faster control rate at a higher overshoot. Each of the control parameters can be changed by the user to best suit their application in the “Custom” control mode.
The “Custom” control mode retains the values of the parameters entered by the user until the
user changes it again.

6.4.3.2 External Supply for Pump Module
The Controller Settings for the Pump Module are slightly dierent from the SVR Module. The "External
Supply" button in the "Control Settings: Pump" screen provides a place for the user to switch between the
pump assisted by an external supply (external supply on), to the pump generating pressure without the
external supply (external supply o). When the external supply pressure is turned on, the Pump Module
pressure output will move between set points more quickly. As the set point is approached, the external
supply is shut o and the pump continues to increase or decrease the pressure into the set point with
precision. When the external supply pressure is turned o, the pump output pressure will increase or
decrease more slowly into the set point.

6.4.3.7 Control Limits
The Maximum and Minimum Limit buttons (SVR Module and Pump Module) in the Control Settings App
(second page) provide a place to limit the set point value that can be chosen in the Home App. These limits can only be set within +/- 0.1% of the range of the active transducer. When the channel is in Autorange
the limits can only be set within +/- 0.1% of the range of the primary transducer which, by convention, will
have the widest range. The minimum limit must be lower than the maximum limit. The user cannot enter
set points and thereby not control to pressures outside of these limits. Figure 6.4.3.7 shows the data
entry keyboard to enter the limits for channel B. Note that the keyboard displays the maximum value that
can be entered.

6.4.3.10 Detection Flags
The CPC6050 is equipped with three detection ags (SVR Module only) that can be enabled or disabled
by the user as needed. These detection ags appear in the Control Settings App. The primary purpose
of these detection ags is to protect the instrument and to ensure desired operation. Each of these ags
can be turned “On” or “O” as per user’s need. Figure 6.4.3.10 shows the detection ag settings.
• Supply Detection Enable: If turned “On”, this ag allows the user to check for sucient supply pres-
sure at the Supply Port of the instrument. In case the supply pressure is less than 10% of the control
setpoint, an error is reported which can be seen in the Troubleshoot App by clicking the error symbol
[ ]. This ag is turned “O” by default.
• Burst Detection Enable: If turned “On”, this ag allows the user to protect the instrument against sud-
den bursts in the pressure at the Measure/ Control Port. In case a burst is detected, an error is report-
ed which can be seen in the Troubleshoot App. This ag is turned “On” by default.
• Measure Regulation Enable: If turned “On”, this ag allows pressure to be controlled while the instru-
ment is in “Measure” mode to prevent pressure leaks in the system over time. This will turn on the internal pressure regulator periodically to control pressure in a certain range of the measured pressure
value. This ag is turned “O” by default.

7.1 Digital I/O
Use Screens in Section 6.4.11 Digital I/O Application to assign conditions or actions to the digital inputs
and the digital outputs. The I/O connector is on upper middle right side of the rear panel.
7.1.1 DigitalI/OSpecications
Connector type on Instrument – Phoenix Contact #1827596
Mating Connector – Phoenix Contact #1827761
7.1.1.1 Digital Input
Maximum voltage allowable on digital input pin (referenced to ground pin): 30 VDC
Minimum voltage allowable on digital input pin (referenced to ground pin): 0 VDC
Maximum current allowable into digital input pin: 15 mA
Minimum voltage required to trigger input (referenced to ground pin): 2.5 VDC
Minimum current required to trigger input: 0.5 mA
The digital inputs are connected through a series resistor and then through an optocoupler before being
used internally in the instrument. They require a minimum amount of current before they will trigger. The
schematic for each digital input can be seen in Figure 7.1.1.1-A
The output of a logic device such as PLC or a control system can be connected directly to a digital input
pin as long as the voltage output of the device falls within the range specied above (Figure 7.1.1.1-B).
A pressure switch can be connected directly to a digital input pin as long as the voltage output of the
switch falls within the range specied above (Figure 7.1.1.1-C)

7.1.1.2 Digital Output
Maximum voltage allowable on digital output pin (referenced to ground pin): 30 VDC
Minimum voltage allowable on digital output pin (referenced to ground pin): 0 VDC
Maximum current allowable into digital output pin: 0.5 A
The digital outputs are open drain type outputs, meaning they are directly connected to the drain of an
N-channel MOSFET. When the output is activated the output pin is pulled down to ground through the
MOSFET. When the output is not activated it is left oating. An external voltage supply is needed for
most applications of the digital outputs.
The schematic for each digital output connection can be seen in gure 1A.
To connect an LED to one of the digital outputs, connect an external voltage supply (referenced to the
ground pin of the digital outputs) to the anode of the LED. Then connect a current limiting resistor to the
cathode of the LED. Connect the other end of this resistor to the digital output pin (Figure 7.1.1.2-B)
To connect one of the digital outputs to a logic device rst connect the digital output pin to a high value
(10 KΩ or more) pull up resistor. Connect the other end of this resistor to the logic supply voltage being
used, taking care not to exceed the maximum voltage specied above. Then connect the digital output
pin to your logic device input (Figure 7.1.1.2-C).
To drive a high current or high voltage load using a relay and a digital output pin rst connect one side
of the relay coil to a digital output pin. Connect the other side of the relay coil to an appropriate external
voltage supply (referenced to the ground pin of the digital outputs). A yback diode should be connected
in parallel with the relay coil to prevent the voltage on the digital output pin exceeding its maximum rating
when turning the relay o. The anode of this diode should be connected to the digital output pin and the
cathode should be connected to the external voltage supply. Finally connect the load and load supply
voltage to the switch terminals of the relay (Figure 7.1.1.2-D).

7.7 Mensor Command Set
This Mensor command set is the default on the CPC6050. For queries (ending with a ?), the Data column
represents the response of the CPC6050. All response strings begin with a space character or an “E” representing that there is an error in the error queue. All response strings are terminated with a <CR> and a
<LF>. The error queue holds the last 10 errors identied.
For all commands (no ?), the data column represents the required parameters to be sent to the CPC6050
following the string in the command column. For any command that requires multiple parameters to be
sent, the parameters must be separated by commas.
7.7.1 Command and Query Format
Commands must be sent in ASCII format and terminated with either a carriage return (<cr>), linefeed
(<lf>), or both. Commands are not case sensitive. Each query returns a response. If an error is detected
the response will include an error ag.
CommandorQueryeld: Unless otherwise specied, commands are typically converted to queries
by appending a question mark to the command. Table 7.7.4 lists all of the CPC6050 command or query
keywords.
Dataeld:The data eld is either in ASCII {string} or numeric {value} form. In the case of multiple data
elds, commas are required to separate the elds. Queries do not have a data eld. String (text) or value
(numeric) data are acceptable in any of the following formats:
Examples of {string} data: ON, OFF, mBar, inHg
Examples of {value} data: 1, 1.0, -5.678, 25.68324e-5
7.7.2 CommandSetDenitions
In this manual a data entry made up of alpha characters is dened as a string, as opposed to data
containing only numbers, such as “Enter 1 for ON or 0 for OFF” where 1 and 0 are dened as values.
Command: Any command or query listed in Table 7.7.4. For commands that take boolean data the following strings are acceptable:
0 1
False True
No Yes
O On
Separator: Space (SP).
Data: ASCII representations of numbers, {value}, or alpha characters, {string}, data as dened above.
When sending code a literal variable replaces the brackets and the enclosed character(s) shown in the
following examples.
Termination: Linefeed (LF) or carriage return (CR) is used to signal the end of a command statement.
For IEEE-488.2 operation “EOI” is an acceptable alternative.
Always send commands in one of the following formats:
1. [Command] [Termination];
2. [Command] [Separator] [Data] [Termination];
3. Queries are special instructions in the form: [Command?] [Termination] where the question mark, “?”,
immediately precedes the terminator.
When a valid query is received, the CPC6050 will return {data} terminated by CR and LF. Floating point
data is returned in the current engineering units in exponential format.

7.8 SCPI Command Set
7.8.1 SCPI Commands and Queries
The WIKA SCPI command is compatible with older WIKA instruments such as the original CPC8000
Notes:
1. Note that WIKA and Ruska 7010 Emulation return slightly dierent responses to some queries.
2. Except for the engineering units selection, the numeric sux selects the applicable transducer [R]:
1= Sensor 1 (default Turndown 1)
11 = Sensor 1, Turndown 1
12 = Sensor 1, Turndown 2
2= Sensor 2 (default Turndown 1)
21 = Sensor 2, Turndown 1
22 = Sensor 2, Turndown 2
This numeric sux [R] always defaults to the active transducer if not specied.
