MC2 Controller |
|
This controller is used on the
GENESIS and SMART series of Screw Compressors[MenuPage.htm] |
 |
Clear Display
- The controller shows a wide LCD display
with 20 characters over 4 lines.
- Two levels of screen backlight, make it
easy to read during the day or night.
|
Messages and Functions
- Supports different languages
- Detailed messages to describe various
actions
- Detailed messages describing faults and
warnings

Full System Clock
|
Perpetual calendar
- Using the system clock, the compressor(s)
can be programmed to start and stop using daily or weekly cycles
- These programming functions make the
compressor(s) into a complete
and independent system, to get the maximum efficiency.
- Furthermore, through the system clock,
it is possible to know when
faults have occurred, helping service people in maintenance
and repair operations.
|
 |
Manage up to 4 compressorsUsing the MC2 controller, up to 4 compressors can be connected together through a simple
wiring cable.
One becomes the Master and the other 3 are slaves.
The system can then be set to its maximum efficiency,
working cycles and can be set to monitor itself for faults, etc.
|
Log File
The powerful software stores all the faults that have occurred during
compressor run: for instance electric power failure, excessive system
pressure shutdown, etc.
This data is permanently stored and can be accessed by service people.

The CAN-BUS Interface |
- Connection through a simple wiring cable
up to 800 m point to point.
- To use this interface an optional
hardware module must be plugged-in on the rear of the controller.
- The REAL multi-master system allows you
to completely control a local communication network, automatically
assigning the sequence number to compressors, based on the availability of
each machine.
- The compressor system control algorithm
is with timed rotation; this control achieves the best performance with
the minimum power consumption.
