The SSi 9120 is a single or dual loop blind controller/signal conditioning/data concentrating device that can be used in
carbon, oxygen, millivolt, SSi redundant probe, simple nitriding and universal dual loop applications. The 9120 is supplied
with Ethernet communications capability and has a limited web server for thin client control and supports ModbusTCP
host communications. Serial I/O includes two (2) RS-232 ports and three (3) RS-485 ports. As a data concentrator, the
9120 is capable of communication to SSi's analog input modules as well as up to 25 slave serial instruments and supports
host communications via Modbus over RS232 or RS485 or ModbusTCP communications.
The SSi 9120 Controller is a single or two loop device that can be configured to be used for control of:

This section will explain how to set the SSi 9120 controller up. The steps required to set up the SSi 9120 through a local
computer are:
1. Install Configurator 2.0 on the local computer
2. Connect the SSi 9120 to a network or local computer
3. Configure Configurator 2.0 on the local computer

Step 1 – Install Configurator 2.0 on the Local Computer
Configurator 2.0 is a configuration utility developed by SSi that will allow the user to interface with an SSi instrument
directly or over a network. The installation file, ConfiguratorSetup.msi, should be included with the installation CD
provided by SSi. If this file is not on the CD, contact Super Systems at 513-772-0060.
Double-click on the installation file to begin the installation
process.
The first page displayed is just for information purposes.
Click on the Next > button to move to the next page, or
press the Cancel button to cancel the installation.
The second page is a warning about Configurator 2.0.
Since Configurator 2.0 is a Microsoft .Net 2.0 product, the
local computer will have to have the .Net 2.0 framework
installed before Configurator 2.0 can be used. Click on the
Next > button to continue or the Cancel button to cancel
the installation.

Page 3 will allow the user to select the location of the
installation. The default location is “C:\SSi\”. To change this
location, click on the Browse button and select a new location
from the dialog box that is displayed. The Disk Usage button
is a utility that will display the available hard drive space on the
local computer. Click on the Next > button to move to the
next page.
Page 4 will allow the user to review the installation settings, if
necessary. Click on the Install button to install the software.
Page 5 will display a progress bar as the installation proceeds.
Note: The installation should only take a few minutes

software has been installed. Click on the Next > button to

Step 2 – Connect the SSi 9120 to a Network or Local Computer
To connect the instrument to the network, through a wall port or switch, use a regular Ethernet cable. To connect the
instrument directly to a computer, use an Ethernet crossover cable. Contact your IT Department for the necessary
cables. Once the SSi 9120 is connected to a network, the Configurator 2.0 software will be able to find it during any
searches. Connecting the instrument to your network or directly to a PC is accomplished using the Ethernet port on the
instrument. If you are connecting the instrument to your network, you will need an Ethernet cable. The cable is plugged
into the instrument Ethernet plug and then other end should be plugged into a network hub. If the IP Address of the
instrument needs to be changed, this can be done through the Configurator software (see Step 3 below). If you are not
putting the instrument on the network, you should use an Ethernet crossover cable. Ethernet crossover cables are most
often used when connecting two Ethernet computers without a hub. An Ethernet crossover cable has its send and receive
wires crossed. When using a hub or switch, this is automatically done for you. With a crossover cable, you are forming a
network between the computer that you are directly plugged into and the SSi 9120. There will be some network settings
on the computer that you will have to configure for the 2 devices to communicate. The SSi 9120 will have the network
setting already setup with the following default IP address – 192.168.0.200. This can be modified through the
Configurator software.
Network settings can be found through the

Configurator Menus
The 9120 controller has the option of two
analog outputs. The outputs are ranged
for a 4 – 20 milliamp signal or a 0 – 20
milliamp signal. Each output comes with
a factory default configuration dependent
on the application. Each output can be
modified prior to shipment to your facility
or in the field by a supervisor.
Analog Output Terminals
Analog output 1 – terminals 24 and 25
Analog output 2 – terminals 25 and 26
Assignment
The analog output assignment can be
modified depending on your system
requirements. To change the Assignment
first select which analog output you want
to change by selecting it in the pull-down

Offset
This is the starting point, the Process Variable value at which you get 4 milliamps. Clicking on this value will display an
input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is –32768 to 32767.
Range
This is a Process Variable value between 4 and 20 milliamps. Clicking on this value will display an input box from which
the user can select a new value. The range is –32768 to 32767.
Note: The range, although not displayed with a
decimal point, contains a decimal point that is dependent on the process variable selected. For example, If the offset is
20 mV for 4 mA, and you want 100 mV to be 20 mA, then your range should be 80. If the process variable is
temperature, then the range will be 80, since temperature PVs do not have a decimal. If the PV is % Carbon, then the
range will need to include the two decimal points for % Carbon. So, a range of 80 will be entered as 8000
for more examples.
Current Selection
Provides the option of 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA control. Clicking on this value will display an input box with a drop-down
list from which the user can select either of the two values listed above.
Example: if 4 – 20 mA = 800 mV - 1200 mV and PV is Temperature
Offset = 800 (starting point)
Range = 400
Example: if 4 – 20 mA = 800 mV - 1200 mV and PV is O2
Offset = 800 (starting point)
Range = 4000 (400.0)
Example: if 4 – 20 mA = 800 mV - 1200 mV and PV is % Carbon
Offset = 800 (starting point)
Range = 40000 (400.00)
O2 Exponent Range
This menu option will allow the user to set the Oxygen exponent range. The range is 0 to 10.
The 9120 controller has the option of using eight relay outputs. All of the relays have a positive common terminal and
independent negative terminals. All of the relays are configured in a normally closed position except relay number eight,
which has both a normally closed (NC) and a normally open (NO) terminal.
