Model and Serial Numbers
Moore Industries uses the model and serial numbers
of our instruments to track information regarding each
unit that we sell and service. If a problem occurs with
your instrument, check for a tag affixed to the unit
listing these numbers. Supply the Customer Support
representative with this information when calling.
The TCS System Architecture
A TCS Temperature Concentrator System may consist
of one or two (when used with an HMC HART-toMODBUS Converter) 16-channel, loop-powered
(2-wire) TCM Temperature Concentrator Modules;
an optional 4-wire (line/mains-powered) HMC HARTto-MODBUS Converter; and, for intrinsically-safe
applications, an optional I.S. barrier.
Each of the TCM Temperature Concentrator Module’s
16 channels can be individually configured to accept
an RTD, T/C, millivolt and/or resistance/potentiometer
signal. When two TCM modules are used in a
Temperature Concentrator System, up to 32 signals
can be monitored over one twisted wire pair.
The TCM converts the signal inputs to the standard
HART digital communications protocol and transmits
the data long distances from the field to the control
room on one economical digital data link.
Figure 1. TCS in general purpose or Class I, Division 2 or Zone
2 HART Communications Mode (accommodates one TCM per
system).
To obtain the TCM’s serial number, you may read it
from the label. You may also use any device that can
read the TCM’s Device Description (i.e. portable DD
shell) or use the TCM Intelligent PC Configuration
Software program.
HART Communications
(HART Mode)
When used in the HART Communications Mode, one
TCM Temperature Concentrator Module may be used
within a system. The TCM communicates via the
HART digital communications protocol, allowing direct
interface with HART-based systems, such as an AMS.
When communicating to a HART DCS, each of the
TCM’s 16 channels is assigned a unique HART address and set to act as a distinct HART slave device in
a HART multi-drop network.

All TCM operating parameters (with the exception of
custom input linearization) can be configured from the
HART-based system, or using a standard HART
hand-held, from anywhere along the twisted wire pair.
The TCM can also be configured, including custom
input linearization, using Moore Industries’ Intelligent
PC Configuration Software.
Figure 2. TCS in Intrinsically-Safe HART Communications Mode
(accommodates one TCM per system).
If the HMC is specified for the application, the TCM
can still be configured from any termination point along
the twisted wire pair, beyond the input side of the
HMC, using a HART hand-held.
The HMC is configured using Moore Industries’ HMC
Intelligent PC Configuration Software.
Figure 3. TCS in MODBUS RTU Communications Mode.
MODBUS RTU
Communications (TCS Mode)
Using the TCS in a MODBUS RTU-based host system
requires the use of a HART-to-MODBUS Converter
(HMC). This can monitor up to 32 inputs on two TCM
units (16 inputs per unit).
HMC HART-to-MODBUS Converter—Acting as
the HART Primary Master, the HMC issues HART
commands instructing the TCM to transmit all of its
data in a single poll.
The HMC converts the TCM’s HART digital data to
a serial MODBUS RTU (RS-485) communications
protocol to allow direct connection with MODBUSbased monitoring and control systems (such as
a PLC or DCS). The HMC offers dual MODBUS
communication ports so redundant communications
can take place with one or more MODBUS RTU hosts.

Temperature Concentrator
Module
The following section describes use and configuration
of the Temperature Concentrator Module (TCM).
The TCM may be used in one of two modes. A
stand-alone Temperature Concentrator Module if it is
configured in HART mode. In HART mode, the TCM
is seen as 16 individual temperature devices each
with its own address (0-15). In TCS Mode, one or
two TCM’s can be used on the same network to allow
up to 32 signals to be transmited to a MODBUS RTU
Control System. (see Figures 3 and 4)
The TCM may be configured using a hand-held
communicator or using Moore Industries’ PC
Configuration software using your PC’s serial RS-232
port or optional USB cable.
The TCM is designed to require low operating
power thus enabling it for use in Intrinsically-Safe
applications. The addition of an I.S. barrier allows the
instrument to operate in a hazardous area (refer to
Figure 23 for I.S installation).
Configuring the TCM
All operating parameters are set using either a
HART Communicator or a PC and Moore Industries’
Intelligent PC Configuration software.
Configuration parameters are stored in the
instrument’s memory and can be saved on your
PC hard drive or external media. The transmitter
communicates with the PC through an RS-232 port or
optional USB cable. A HART modem connection to
the PC’s serial port may also be used.
Table 5 and Figure 8 provide information needed to
configure the unit.
Using a PC
If using a PC to configure your unit, first install the
software as described on the next page, then setup the
hardware as shown in Figure 8.
12 The Interface Solution Experts
TCS
Temperature Concentrator System™
Multi-Channel Transmitter
Installing the Configuration Software
Refer to Table 5 for the equipment needed.
1. Insert the Moore Industries Interface Solution PC Configuration Software CD into the CD
drive of the PC. Access the CD and open the
TCM PC Configuration Software folder.
2. Double-click the installation program located
in the folder. Follow the prompts to correctly
install the program.
Once the Configuration Program is installed on the
PC, the TCM can be connected to equipment to
simulate input and monitor output. You can then
change the transmitter’s operating parameters.
It is not necessary to connect the transmitter to a PC
to create configuration files using the PC Configuration
Program. The program can be run without connecting
a transmitter, and most parameters can be set
without benefit of input from a sensor or transmitter.
This makes it easy to create a set of operating
parameters, save them to external media, and
download them to one or more transmitters at a later
time.
The TCM must be connected to the PC in order to
receive configuration parameters (via download) and
save configuration parameters from the transmitter’s
memory.
Connecting the TCM to the PC
To connect the TCM to the PC, you must establish a
simple current loop for the transmitter by connecting
a 15-42Vdc power supply, a 250 ohm resistor and
the transmitter in series. See Table 1 for information
on the necessary equipment. Refer to Figure 8 for
installation.
Connect your instrument to the PC via the RS-232
serial port using the Moore Industries Interface Cable
or optional USB cable listed in Table 1.
Using a Hand-Held Communicator
A HART modem may also be used to connect your
unit to the PC. Connect the RS-232 or optional USB
cable end of the modem to the PC’s COM port, then
connect the HART output end of the modem (two
hook-up wires) across the transmitter or the load
resistor. For installation, refer to Figure 8.

Broken Wire Detection– During operation, the TCM
sends random microamp pulses through input wiring to
check for broken wiring or a burned out sensor.
To utilize Broken Wire Detection, check the Enabled
box. If a failure is detected, a message will appear in
the TCM Status box.
Running Average Filter Settings– This function is for
filtering the input signal. The TCM provides this filter
with a user-selected range between 1 and 16. Factory
default is 4.
Note:
A higher Running Average Filter setting provides
smoother output transitions; however, reduces
response time. Conversely, a lower setting provides
a faster response time, but may seem more unstable.
PV Damping–PV Damping allows you to introduce
a delay into the response of your unit in order to stop
short-lived spikes from initiating faults and generating
fault messages.
The configured damping period will determine the time
response that the analog output will take to achieve
a 63.21% change in output in response to a stepped
input.
To enable PV Damping, select the Enabled button.
Use the arrows to select a value between 1sec and
30sec.
Sensor Trimming– Sensor Trimming increases the
measurement accuracy of your instrument by matching
the reading of its actual input, to either a calibrated
source or the device to which it is connected. This
verifies that the input to the transmitter is being
interpreted correctly.
You may trim any point between 0% and 100% along
the scale. Note that one-point trimming applies an
offset to the sensor reading, while two-point trimming
applies both an offset and a gain.
Follow the steps below in order to perform sensor
trimming.
1. Select either 1 Point (one-point trimming) or
2 Points (two-point trimming) by clicking the
appropriate button. Each pair consists of Set Value and Tr im fields.
2. Enter the values that require trimming into
the Set Value field and click Set.
3. Apply the targeted signal to the input, wait
until it settles, and click Tri m to capture the
measured value. If you chose 2 Points,
repeat the step above for the second point.
Note:
Once you have configured all parameters, download
to the unit by selecting Download in the Transfer
dropdown menu located in the Menu Bar. Or, click
the button in the Tool Bar.
Sensor Range– Allows you to set your upper and
lower range values within the range chosen in the
Input Type section.
The desired Upper and Lower Range settings can be
entered via your PC keyboard or captured. To capture
an input, follow the steps below.
1. Apply the desired Upper Range input and
press the corresponding Capture button.
2. Next, apply the desired Lower Range input
and press the corresponding Capture button.

Temperature Concentrator System™
Multi-Channel Transmitter
The Hart-to-MODBUS
Converter
The following section describes use and configuration
of the Hart-to-MODBUS Converter (HMC).
The HMC operates in HART primary master mode
communicating with either one or two TCMs, reading
the TCM’s variables through its HART interface.
The HMC is used to convert the TCM variables to
MODBUS communication, through its dual MODBUS
ports.
The HMC only talks to addresses 1 and 2. One
address is assigned to one of the TCMs in the system
(a maximum of two are allowed). Since the TCM
outputs are seen as 16 channels from one device
when in TCS mode, each address displays the status
information from each channel of the TCM to which it
is assigned.
MB Output
The HMC has dual MODBUS ports for redundancy.
Slave address, baud rate and character format are
user-configurable (both ports use the same slave
address, baud rate and character format).
Fault Alarms
As an added measure, the HMC comes standard
with two alarms (relays). The relay is energized
when the attached device is operating properly. It is
rated at 2A@250Vac (non-inductive loads, 50/60Hz).
The relays can be set to send a master alarm when
the HMC detects one, any, or all of the following
fault conditions within the system: No HART signal;
broken wire; hardware error; bad configuration; input
saturated; and input out of table range.
The alarms can be set with a time delay, which
specifies how long (in seconds) the alarm condition
needs to exist before the alarm trips. Failsafe and
Non-Failsafe alarm action is also configurable.
The HMC’s front panel has four dual color LEDs. The
Fault1 and Fault2 LEDs display alarm status. Green
indicates no alarm condition and red indicates an
alarm condition. If only one TCM is enabled in the
system, then the unused Fault LED will always be
green.
Refer to the Alarms tab section for configurable alarm
parameters.
TX Power
A transmitter excitation (TX) power supply (26Vdc
±3%@40mA) is standard on the HMC. This allows
you to power up to two TCMs without the need for an
external power supply. Refer to Figure 17 for
hook-up.
Configuring the HMC
All operating parameters are set using a PC and
Moore Industries’ Intelligent PC Configuration
software.
Configuration parameters are stored in the
instrument’s memory and can be saved on your
PC hard drive or external media. The transmitter
communicates with the PC through an RS-232 port or
optional USB cable.
Installing the Configuration Software
Refer to Table 11 for the equipment needed.
1. Insert the Moore Industries Interface Solution PC Configuration Software CD into the CD
drive of the PC. Access the CD and open the
HMC PC Configuration Software folder.
2. Double-click the installation program located
in the folder. Follow the prompts to correctly
install the program.
Once the Configuration Program is installed on the
PC, the HMC can be connected to equipment to
monitor output. You can then change the transmitter’s
operating parameters.
It is not necessary to connect the HMC to a PC
to create configuration files when using the PC
Configuration Software. The program can be run
without connecting a HMC, and most parameters can
be set without input from the instrument.
This makes it easy to create a set of operating
parameters, save them to external media, and
download them to one or more instruments at a later
time.
The HMC must be connected to the PC in order to
receive (via download) a configuration file and save
the configuration file from its memory.
Connecting the HMC to the PC
To connect the HMC to a PC, simply power the
instrument using a 24Vdc power supply and then
connect it to the PC via the RS-232 serial port using
the Moore Industries Interface Cable or optional USB
cable listed in Table 11.
Refer to the Recommended Ground Wiring Practices
section of this manual for information regarding
grounding the HMC.

Alarms Tab
The information below applies to both TCM1 and
TCM 2 Alarm sections.
Figure 21. Alarms Tab
The TCM Alarm boxes allow you to choose the
paramaters that will trigger an alarm on the HMC.
You may choose any combination of: No HART (no
HART response received from the TCM (i.e. TCM is
not connected)), Broken Wire, Hardware Error, Bad
Configuration, Input Saturated or Input Out of Table
Range.
Delay and Failsafe– By entering a value in the Delay
box, you can specify how long (in seconds) the alarm
condition needs to exist before the alarm trips.
Checking the Fail Safe box causes the relay to
de-energize when in an alarm condition. By not
checking the box you place the relay in Non-Fail Safe
mode (the relay energizes when tripped).
MODBUS Tab
Figure 22. MODBUS Tab
MODBUS Address– The MODBUS Address is the
number that the HMC monitor uses to identify itself
on the MODBUS network. The MODBUS address is
configurable from 1 to 247. By default, it will assume a
MODBUS address of 1.
Baud Rate– The Baud Rate is the speed of data
transmission. It should be set to match the baud rate
of the attached controller. The interface supports the
following baud rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600 and 19200.
Parity– The HMC supports even, odd and no Parity.
The data format is one start bit, 8 data bits and one
stop bit.
Floating Point Word Order– By default, the HMC
will use the Standard LSW (least significant word)
floating point word order format. This stores the most
significant bits in the second register and the least
significant bits in the first register. Selecting Swapped MSW (most significant word) will reverse the order,
storing the most significant bits in the first register and
the least significant bits in the second register.
34 The Interface Solution Experts
Failed TCM’s Register Value– You may select what
would occur to a TCM’s register value in the event that
communication is lost with the HMC.
If selecting Hold Last and a failure is detected, the last
measured value before the failure occurred is held.
Entering a user-set value in the Preset to text box
recalls that value when a device failure is detected.
Selecting NaN (Not a Number–as put forth by the
IEEE-754 standard) causes the floating point NaN
value to be stored in the registers used for holding
floating point values.
MODBUS RTU Registers
Table 12 describes the 30,000 / 40,000 overlapped

Installation
Installation consists of physically mounting the unit
and completing the electrical connections.
Mounting the TCM and HMC
The TCM and HMC can be mounted on 35mm Top Hat
EN50022 DIN mounting rails.
Making the Electrical Connections
To install the TCM, refer to Figure 8.
To install the TCS system, refer to Figures 3 and 5.
For installation in an intrinsically-safe application refer
to Figure 23.
For HART applications, ensure that the loop resistance
is between 250 and 1100 ohms. For Intrinsically-Safe
applications, use no more than 125-150 ohms due to
the internal resistance of I.S barrier.
When installing any Moore Industries product,
always follow all local regulations and standards for
grounding, shielding, and safety.
WARNING:
Terminals on this unit may be connected to hazardous
voltages. Before making ANY connections to this unit,
always remove power from the loop or instrument
power terminals.
Contact/Load Suppression
When the instrument relays are used to switch an
inductive load such as an external relay coil, contactor,
solenoid, large voltage spikes may be created in
nearby cable harnesses. When excessive, these
voltage spikes can disrupt the operation of all nearby
electronics including this product. Inductive loads
should have suppression devices installed at the load
(for external relays this would be right across the relay
coil itself). Usually this is a simple diode for dc circuits.
AC circuits routinely use an R-C snubber. Please
follow the external load manufacturer instructions for
their recommended suppression kits.
Recommended Ground Wiring
Practices
Moore Industries recommends the following ground
wiring practices:
• Any Moore Industries product in a metal case
or housing should be grounded.
• The protective earth conductor must be
connected to a system safety earth ground
before making other connections.
• All input signals to, and output signals
from, Moore Industries’ products should be
wired using a shielded, twisted pair wiring
technique. Shields should be connected to an
earth or safety ground.
• For the best shielding, the shield should be
run all the way from the signal source to the
receiving device. (see Note)
• The maximum length of unshielded input and
output signal wiring should be 2 inches.
Note:
Some of Moore Industries’ instruments can be
classified as receivers (IPT, IPX, etc.) and some can
be classified as transmitters (TRX, TRY, etc.) while
some are both a receiver and a transmitter (SPA,
HIM, etc). Hence, your shield ground connections
should be appropriate for the type of signal line
being shielded. The shield should be grounded at
the signal source and not at the receiver.
Supply Wiring
All power connections should be made with the proper
wire.
The end of each conductor should be stripped no
more than 8mm (0.31 in). The end of the stripped wire
should be tinned with solder, or inserted into a ferrule
and crimped before being placed into a terminal block.
Conductors connected to screw-type connections
should have a ring-lug or spade-lug crimped onto the
wire end.
Tighten the screws on the terminal block to 4.4 - 5.3
lbf•in (0.5 - 0.6 N•m).
CE Conformity
Installation of any Moore Industries’ products that
carry the CE marking must adhere to the guidelines in
the Recommended Ground Wiring Practices section in
order to meet the EN 61326 requirements set forth in
the applicable EMC directive.

To return equipment to Moore Industries for repair, follow these four steps:
1. Call Moore Industries and request a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number.
Warranty Repair –
If you are unsure if your unit is still under warranty, we can use the unit’s serial number
to verify the warranty status for you over the phone. Be sure to include the RMA
number on all documentation.
Non-Warranty Repair –
If your unit is out of warranty, be prepared to give us a Purchase Order number when
you call. In most cases, we will be able to quote you the repair costs at that time.
The repair price you are quoted will be a “Not To Exceed” price, which means that the
actual repair costs may be less than the quote. Be sure to include the RMA number on
all documentation.
2. Provide us with the following documentation:
a) A note listing the symptoms that indicate the unit needs repair
b) Complete shipping information for return of the equipment after repair
c) The name and phone number of the person to contact if questions arise at the factory
3. Use sufficient packing material and carefully pack the equipment in a sturdy shipping container.
4. Ship the equipment to the Moore Industries location nearest you.
The returned equipment will be inspected and tested at the factory. A Moore Industries representative will contact the person designated on your documentation if more information is
needed. The repaired equipment, or its replacement, will be returned to you in accordance
with the shipping instructions furnished in your documentation.
