The MOD 30ML Replacement Instrument, Figure 1-1, can be used to replace an installed
MOD 30 instrument, or to expand an existing MOD 30 installation. The replacement is a
microprocessor based instrument which can be configured to perform all the PID,
mathematical, sequencing, and logic functions available in MOD 30 instruments. The front
panel display presents process variable, set-point, output, and other operational data in a
format similar to the MOD 30 instrument displays.
Features of the MOD 30ML replacement instrument are as follows:

The products described in this book have catalog numbers that help identify specific
features. In addition, some products are assigned a serial number which can be used to
track manufacturing data. The general format of the catalog number is described in this
section. Specific product descriptions are provided in the following sections.
The catalog number stamped on the product data plate contains a series of single and
multiple-character codes. These codes provide specific information concerning various
electrical and/or structural options. Certain code combinations are not allowed, and
options and combinations are subject to change. An example of a typical catalog number
is as follows:

1.3.1 1800R With MOD 30 Termination Assembly.
The 1800R with MOD 30 termination assembly, Figure 1-1, is designed specifically for
replacement of installed MOD 30 instruments, or expansion of existing MOD 30
installations. The replacement instrument mounts in a MOD 30 bezel or panel cutout
using a mounting scheme that is essentially identical to that of the MOD 30 instruments.
Two cable connectors which accept the MOD 30 instrument cables are provided at the
back of the replacement instrument.

The MOD 30 complement of analog and digital inputs and outputs are supported by a
combination of built-in and modular I/O in the replacement instrument. The built-in circuits
reside on the carrier board and provide two analog inputs and two analog outputs. The
modular I/O circuits are contained in plug-in I/O modules; they provide digital inputs, digital
outputs, and additional analog inputs. The carrier board provides the connection locations for
eleven I/O modules. Thus, a total of 15 I/O points (4 built-in and 11 modular) are available in
the replacement instrument. The modular I/O provides flexibility to vary the mix of digital
inputs, digital outputs, and analog inputs to fit specific replacement requirements. The
parameters of each replacement I/O point can be configured to match the parameters of the
corresponding MOD 30 point. A form of the replacement instrument is available with factory
installed I/O modules. The I/O complement of this form matches the full I/O complement of
the MOD 30 controller and controller XL..
Built-in ICN communications circuitry is provided on the carrier board. When required, the
replacement instrument can communicate on the ICN in the same manner as any MOD 30
instrument. When using a Communications Link to provide data to a personal computer, a
link firmware upgrade may be required to handle some new mnemonics from the
replacement instrument.
The built-in communications circuit can be used to support the RS-232 port in the front panel
instead of the ICN. This provides direct communication with a personal computer for data
base configuration. In this case, ICN communication can be provided by installing a 2030N
ICN Communications Module.
The replacement instrument CPU is based on the 16MHZ 68302 microprocessor. An identity
module (1800P) provides the functionality that gives the instrument the capability to execute
a user-configured database. The CPU supports 64K bytes of nonvolatile RAM for database
storage, and a time-of-day clock with battery support. A high speed communications channel
is used between the CPU and both the built-in I/O and any I/O modules installed on the
instrument. The CPU board provides for connection of a plug-in memory module.
1.3.2 1800P MOD 30ML IDENTITY MODULE
The identity module, Figure 1-1, gives the instrument a specific level of process and
communications functionality. The 1800P module is factory installed and provides the
capability to execute a user-configured database which consists of built-in and modular I/O
handling capabilities, PID functionality, and a collection of other control related functions.
which are available in MOD 30 instruments. These functions reside in a group of basic data
base elements called function blocks.
1.3.3 2010P MEMORY MODULE
The optional memory module plugs directly into the CPU board, Figure 1-1, and provides a
mechanism for porting a database from one replacement instrument to another. An
instrument with this option can upload from or download to this module. The memory module
has a write protect setting to prevent accidental erasures. When a memory module is
installed in an instrument with the write protection off, the operating software keeps the
module up-to-date with all real time changes in the instrument. Enhanced security is thereby
provided through this backup database copy. Data retention is more than 10 years with
instrument un-powered.

1.4I/O MODULES
The descriptions included in this section give a brief overview of the functions and
features of the I/O modules which can be used in a replacement instrument..
1.4.12001A Voltage Input Module
The voltage input module provides dual ranges of ±10V dc and ±100 mV dc. The 10V
dc range can be selected and scaled for 1 to 5 V dc by configuration to match the input of
MOD 30 instruments. Input to the module is scaled and then applied to an integrating
analog to digital converter. Line cycle integration can be performed at integrals of either 50
or 60 Hz line frequencies to reject any line frequency noise. Transformer isolation from
the +5 volt supply is used to derive all the internal voltages to run the isolated front end.
Optical isolation is used to transfer the information from the A/D converter serially to the
microprocessor. The microprocessor takes the raw A/D voltage, compares it to the
reference, and then presents it to the host as requested over the serial communications
bus. This module uses the Voltage/Current Input Module (VCIM) Block for configuration of
input parameters. The default configuration of this block provides the 1 to 5 V dc input
range.
