Introduction

This manual for Moore Industries’ TCS Temperature Concentrator System™ contains all of the information needed to configure, install, operate and maintain this product.

About this Manual

Pay particular attention wherever you see a “Note”, “Caution” or “WARNING ”.
Note– Information that is helpful for a procedure, condition or operation of the unit.
Caution– Hazardous procedure or condition that could damage or destroy the unit.
WARNING– Hazardous procedure or condition that could injure the operator.

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.
TCS
Temperature Concentrator System™ Multi-Channel Transmitter
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.

Temperature / SV Temperature– Use this section to select the temperature unit you wish to view.
If the selected Input Type is an RTD or T/C, this section is displayed as Temperature.
If a mV, Resistance or Potentiometer input is selected, this section is displayed as SV Temperature. The SV (HART Secondary Variable) Temperature being dis­played is the ambient, or reference junction, tempera­ture of the TCM.
Filter– This setting is used to configure the input filter. The filter is designed to reduce the effects of mains-induced noise. The input filter frequency value should be set to the frequency of the local AC supply–either 50Hz or 60Hz.

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.

Note:
Using the Scaling feature will disable the Custom Curve capability. Since both are scaling features
used to manipulate the appearance of your process
variable, only one of these functions may be used at
a time.
Scaling– This allows you to scale the output for your application. By example, if your process is sending a -200°C to 850°C signal to the TCM and you wish to view the input as 0-100% then this can be accomplished with the scaling feature.
To scale your instrument, perform the following steps:
1. Check the Enabled box. The Sensor Range boxes will display the range selected in the Input Type section of the Input screen.
2. In the Scaled to text boxes, enter the values you wish displayed when your input is at its Zero Range and Full Range.

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.

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.
