The SUPREMATouch is a stationary gas warning system with multiple measurement sites, which
operates continuously to monitor work sites for the presence of combustible and toxic mixtures of
gas and/or vapor with air and to monitor the ambient air for oxygen content. The system supplies
power to the sensors, displays the measured concentrations, and monitors the limit values, but it
also actuates alarm devices. The various functions of the gas warning system (the acquisition of
the measurement values, the evaluation of the signals, the actuation of the alarm devices etc.) are
performed by the various modules of the SUPREMATouch.
The SUPREMATouch can process the standardized current and voltage outputs of various types
of sensors. This means that the system can display and evaluate not only gas measurements but
other measurement variables as well (e.g., temperature and pressure).
The SUPREMATouch is a modular system, allowing a wide variety of applications.

System Concept
2.2Design
The modules of the SUPREMATouch are mounted in a rack. For expanded systems, additional
modules can be placed in a second rack or installed on top hat rails in a switch box.
Data is exchanged between the modules over a CAN bus, so it is possible to connect satellites
over long distances.
For measurement tasks that require redundant signal input and processing, additional modules
can be added at any time to expand the gas warning system.
The sensors must have the type of protection against ignition prescribed for the installation site.
The connection between the input module of the SUPREMATouch and the sensors is established
by a screened remote-measurement cable of the 2, 3, 4 or 5 wire type.
For servicing, the sensors can be electrically isolated from the SUPREMATouch by mechanically
disconnecting the plug-in connection (MAT, MAT TS modules).
The following block circuit diagram shows the possible layout of a non-redundant system.
Sensors
The system distinguishes between passive detectors and active transmitters.
As a general rule, passive detectors simply consist of a highly sensitive (half) measuring bridge
while active transmitters possess their own electronics and have a standardised signal output
(4–20 mA).

Fail Conditions
Signals that are above full-scale range or signal fails that were caused by an interruption of the
digital communication are always latched.
Signal fails caused by signals below the measuring range are non-latching. Measurement values
that are over the full-scale range will trigger all 4 alarms.
Horn
If an audible alarm device is connected to the horn relay, it will sound as soon as a new alarm is
triggered. It continues to sound even when the alarm condition no longer exists. Pressing the
ACKNL key silences the horn, regardless of whether or not the alarm condition still exists.
When a redundant system is used, the ACKNL or RESET key has to be pressed for at
least 1 second.
2.3Operation and Display unit MDO
The operation and display unit includes the following components:
•Colour TFT touch screen with 320 x 240 resolution
•2 keys
•8 LED indicators
•1 beeper
The TFT screen is a full graphic display with a resistive touch panel. The character height is
approximately 4 mm.

2.6Bus Protocol
The SUPREMATouch uses the CAN bus protocol. On the Interconnection Board (MIB module),
the DIL switch can be used to set the transfer speed to 10, 20, 50, 125, 250, 500 or 1,000 kBits/s
for all of the connected modules. All modules on one bus must operate at the same bit rate; if one
of the modules uses a different rate, an error state occurs on the bus. This is detected, and appropriate messages are displayed.
Each module receives a code (Node ID) in the range of 1–127 by the use of the DIL switch of the
MIB module board on the basis of its slot in the rack. Each of the modules on one bus must have
its own code. If duplicate codes are detected, an error message is generated.
2.7System Power Supply
The system is supplied with an operating voltage of 24 VDC (19.2–32 VDC). 3 pairs of terminals
for the connection of three 24 VDC power supply sources (EXT, INT, BAT) are provided on the
Interconnection Board (MIB module). Therefore the power can be taken from 3 different sources
(redundancy). If all three supply voltages (EXT, INT and BAT) are present, the system selects
only one of these to supply the module, in the following order of prioritisation:
1st = EXT, 2nd = INT, 3rd = BAT.
The system module hardware manages the power supply changeover.
When an external power pack or battery supply is used, MSA recommends that the power is
filtered through an appropriate EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) filter. See chapter 12.2
"Installation Instructions for Following the EMC Directives"for low voltage installation information.
In order to protect the battery and the SUPREMATouch against damage, an additional deep
discharge contactor component is required in the corresponding 24 V feeder (e.g. deep discharge
contactor C1900-TLS, Mentzer or similar).
•The customer is responsible for providing a safety cut-out (maximum rack power, 480 W/20 A).
•85–264 VAC is supplied via screw terminals directly on the power supply unit.
•The EXT, INT and BAT voltages are supplied to each system module.
•Voltages required for the individual modules are obtained in the modules themselves from the
24 V.
•The power requirement that must be met is derived from the type and number of sensors
connected and from the components installed in the system.
•Maximum power provided for one rack is 480 W (maximum current of 20 A).
•The transmitter/detector input modules measure all input voltages and can generate error
messages, which can be shown on the display unit. In addition, a POWER FAIL relay
(optional: redundant) is de-energized when the status of the system power supply changes.
EXT Terminals (External Power Supply, 24 VDC)
•Connection for voltage supply from an external power supply unit; power is sent to all units in
the rack.
•Required when a redundant power supply is provided or when the internal rack power supply
is not sufficient to operate all of the sensors.
•Maximum supply current of 20 A for one rack.

System Concept
INT Terminals (Internal Power Supply, 24 VDC 250 W)
•Connection for voltage supply from an internal rack power supply or an external power supply
unit.
•Power supplied to all rack units and the sensors.
•Internal power supply unit (MSP module) has a supply voltage input of 85–265 VAC
(47–63 Hz) or 120–330 VDC.
•If the rack power supply unit cannot supply enough power, the sensors, modules or relays must
be supplied by external power supply units.
•The internal rack power supply can be omitted if, because of a high power requirement or a
redundant design, the power is being supplied by an external power supply via the INT terminals.
•Maximum supply current of 20 A.
BAT Terminals (Backup Battery Power Supply)
•Backup battery power supply for all units of a rack (21 –28 VDC).
•In the case of failure of internal and/or external power supply, the backup battery power supply
will supply power to the system.
•Maximum supply current of 20 A.
Power Supply Plans
All of the system cards and the sensors can be supplied from each of the 3 pairs of terminals
connections. A voltage changeover switch is provided on each system card, which ensures that
only one of the voltages being applied is accepted. Various power supply plans are available to
suit the number and type of sensors and/or the required degree of redundancy in the power
supply.
If the internal rack power supply unit is not sufficient to power all the sensors, an external unit must
be provided. The internal unit must then be disconnected. A redundant power supply is then
provided by external units via the BAT or INT terminals.
Supply Plan A: Internal Power Supply Unit
All of the units of the system and the sensors are supplied by the rack power supply unit (INT
terminals). This variant is used when power supply redundancy is not required and the power
which can be supplied by the unit installed in the rack (250 W) is sufficient to supply all of the rack
modules and the connected sensors.
Supply Plan B: External Power Supply Unit
All system modules housed in the rack and the sensors are supplied by the external power supply
unit (EXT terminals). This variant is used when power supply redundancy is not required and the
power of the unit installed in the rack (250 W) is not sufficient to supply all of the system modules
and the connected sensors. A maximum of 20 A can be supplied across the terminals (480 W
system power).
Supply Plan C: Internal Power Supply Unit + Battery
All units of the system and the sensors are supplied by the rack power supply unit (INT terminals)
or by the backup power supply (BAT terminals). This variant is used when there must be redundancy in the power supply and the power of the unit installed in the rack (250 W) is sufficient for
all rack modules and the connected sensors.
Supply Plan D: External Power Supply Unit + Battery
All modules of the system and the sensors are supplied by the external power supply unit
(EXT terminals) or by the backup power supply (BAT terminals). This variant is used when the
power supply must be redundant and the power that can be supplied by the unit installed in the
rack is not sufficient to supply the system modules and the connected sensors. A maximum of
20 A can be supplied across the terminals (480 W system power).
2.8Safety Concept
The individual functional modules are connected to each other by a CAN bus. The CAN bus is
designed to be virtually error-proof. Every module can detect errors on the bus and handle them
appropriately. The probability of an undiscovered communications error on the bus is 4.7 * 10
Error statuses on the CAN bus are indicated on the DISPLAY + OPERATION unit (MDO module).

SUPREMATouch

System Concept
Each module with a microcontroller has a watchdog timer, which can trigger the system fail signal
line of its rack. As a result, the SYSTEM FAIL common relays on the interconnection board (MIB
module) are de-energized. This common failure signal is also indicated by the DISPLAY + OPERATION unit.
All modules are checked for signs of activity at fixed periodic time intervals by the CENTRAL
PROCESSING unit (MCP module) via the CAN bus. The failure of a module can thus be recognized, and the appropriate messages will be generated. These messages are logged in the MDO's
log books and, parallel to it, the System Fail is activated by the relevant modules.
The operating voltages of the connected voltage supply units (EXT, INT and BAT) are monitored
by the transmitter/detector input modules. If a malfunction occurs here, the POWER-FAIL
common relay is released.
Gas Warning Systems
In simpler expansion stages of safety requirements according to EN 61508, the gas warning
system can be operated via one of the two possible CAN bus connections. Starting with SIL 3,
both CAN bus connections are required. In this case, two CENTRAL PROCESSING units (MCP
modules) are present and all of the input and output signals important for system operations are
available over additional modules on both CAN buses in parallel. If one of these CAN bus connections fails, a SYSTEM FAIL message is generated. The system still remains functional by using the remaining CAN bus connection.
In the case of a SYSTEM FAIL message, the SYSTEM FAIL LED will light up and the system fail
relays change to failure condition. A System Fail message indicates a malfunction of the
SUPREMATouch and therefore an service is required immediately. The connection of the
switching outputs of the system fail relays has to enable an immediate triggering message.
Gas Warning Systems with Higher Safety Requirements
For gas warning systems with higher safety requirements according to EN 61508 SIL 3 the system
can be provided with redundancy using additional modules. Redundant signal processing has the
same structure and functions the same way as standard non-redundant processing. Communications between the modules proceed over an internal connection, which is designed as a redundant
CAN bus.
If one of the two signal processing routes malfunctions, an error message appears on the
DISPLAY + OPERATION unit (MDO module) (SYSTEM FAIL). The remaining signal processing
channel takes over all of the necessary functions until the defective module can be replaced. The
failure of individual modules does not lead automatically to the failure of the entire system. Only
the functions assigned to the specific module in question are unavailable. The system fail relay
has to be connected and monitored (see chapter 9 "Special conditions to comply with the requirements of DIN EN 61508 for SIL 1-3 according to TÜV Certificate"and 10 "Special conditions to
comply with the requirements of ATEX").
2.9During Operation
GB
WARNING!
In case of operation with catalytic combustion detectors: To guarantee the unambiguity of catalytic
combustion sensor operation it must be ensured at all times (e.g. by checking with hand-held test
instruments) that the environmental atmosphere to be monitored by the sensors is free of combustible gases prior to the sensors and the system being switched on or overrange indications are
reset.

System Operation
3System Operation
The modular control system’s user interface is the integrated operation and display unit. This unit
displays alarms and warnings as well as system parameters.
Selection and input are touch-controlled, which means that the integrated Display and Operation
module is very easy to use..
Connecting the operating unit to a PC provides a more user-friendly interface with additional
features.
The software SUPREMA Manager can be used to create and manage the configuration and
parametrization of multiple SUPREMA systems. See separate operating manual for SUPREMA
Manager for details.
Both the PC program and the SUPREMATouch system use graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The
input fields are set up as selection fields as much as possible, with all known inputs displayed.
3.1Operation Menu
The operation menu is divided into four submenus:
•Measure
•Setup
•Maintain
•Diagnosis
These submenus can be selected by tapping the corresponding menu item. The Measure
submenu is automatically activated at system start-up.
If another menu is active and there is no operator activity for 3 minutes, the system returns to the
Measure submenu. If an alarm occurs the Measure submenu is automatically activated.
3.2Access Authorisation
In the various windows, data can be displayed and entered and certain actions can be initiated by
using the touch screen (e.g., starting a calibration procedure). However, editing items or initiating
actions requires access authorisation by entering the password required for the control level or
operating a keyswitch, if fitted.
Three user groups with different password control levels are defined:
•Maintenance
•Parametrisation
•Configuration
Fig. 4 Access control
If the user wants to change a value or press a button when the required authorisation is not yet
issued, the appropriate password must be entered in the pop up window or the key switch must
be activated. Password authorisation remains in effect until measurement mode is activated either
through user input or automatically due to inactivity of 3 minutes or alarms.
SUPREMATouch
GB
19
System Operation
If a user with modification authorisation is logged in at the PC and there has not been any communication between the PC and the SUPREMATouch system for more than 5 minutes, password
authorisation will automatically expire.
While SUPREMA Manager is connected to the SUPREMATouch, it is not possible to
simultaneosly change settings via the MDO.
Whether password authorisation is still in effect is indicated by a small lock symbol in lower right
corner of each password controlled window.
Lock symbol
The system is delivered with the default password AUER for all three password levels. MSA
recommends to change the passwords when accessing the SUPREMATouch for the first time.
In the Measure and Diagnosis submenus, data is only displayed, password access control is not
required.
Changing the Password
The password must have a minimum of four characters and may not have more than eight. Any
symbol from the ASCI character set can be used. The password is case-sensitive.
If no password at all is wanted, the password can be deleted by entering nothing instead of a new
password. Authorisation can then be granted only by using the key switch. In this case, an additional security dialog is initiated with the warning that the approval of the system is revoked in the
event of unauthorized changes.
To change a current password/create a new password, carry out the following:
(1)Select the corresponding password field in the Setup/System menu.
Enter the current password or actuate the key switch.
(2)After entering the password or actuating the key switch, leave the window with the OK button.
When the key switch was actuated, it can be released again after leaving the password
window.
(3)Enter the new password in the Password and Confirmation fields of the Setup/System menu.
(4)Confirm the new password with OK.
To replace a forgotten password, a higher-level password can be entered. If the current
parameterisation password is also lost, a new password can be entered by actuating the
key switch. If there is no key switch to close, connect terminal contacts 1 (GND) and 2
(PSW) on the MST module with a wire jumper, provided that these terminals can be
accessed safely.
3.3Measure Menu
When the system configuration is successfully completed, the Measure menu will appear automatically after the system is started. For display of measured values, it is possible to choose from
different display types:
•List (default after start-up)
•Bars
•LEDs
•Groups
Displayed measurement and status values are updated once per second.
Unlike the common alarm LEDs on the MDO front panel, the touch screen display of alarms and
failures does not flash.

System Operation
If the user is in the List, Bars or LEDs window and does not tap any key for 60 seconds, the window
automatically starts scrolling (one page per 5 seconds).
(1)To scroll through the list manually use the arrow buttons in the lower left corner of the window
or move the list while touching it.
For all display types, it is possible to manually switch between different modes of displaying the
measured information. In one mode all inputs are shown, in the other modes only the inputs in
alarm or fail status are shown.
(2)To switch between modes touch the bell or the sign symbol in the lower right corner of the
measure window.
If one of these selection modes is chosen, the corresponding symbol has a blue background.
The number of measuring points in alarm and in fail and the CAN bus, A or B, currently
selected as the information source is also shown in this area.
It is possible to switch to the CAN bus by touching the CAN symbol. If the CAN bus is manually
selected, the CAN symbol has a blue background. If the CAN bus is automatically selected, the
CAN symbol has a grey background.
