Semrad MultiCONT PR-100

Universal Display and Controller

General

MultiCONT PR-100 series is first of all a controller and display capable to accomplish complex control tasks by itself.
Further it is a “Master”for transmitters with HART comms as well as a universal interface between field devices with HART and other components of the process control system such as PC, PLC, displays and different actuators.
MultiCONT PR-100 unit supports communication with a maximum of 15, 2- and/or 4-wire transmitters with HART. Remote programming of the transmitters, downloading the parameter set to the field unit and uploading the measured values are routine tasks for the MultiCONT.
The large Dot-Matrix LCD panel facilitate a wide variety of display functions including tank content visualisation.
As a unique feature the MultiCONT can communicate with transmitters of mixed measuring technologies connected to the same multidrop system.
The MultiCONT is cost efficient as controller of a single transmitter (even with simple 4 … 20 mA output) but it reaches unparalleled cost/channel ratio at its maximum configuration as a server for 15 transmitters.

Application

MULTICONT display and control unit working as a “MASTER” in HART surrounding is supporting 1 … 15 field devices.
In multidrop systems with more than one slave, units should be addressed. In accordance with HART standard this involves the limitation of the current to 4 mA.
This constraint may be subject to overwriting by programming of some transmitters.
Therefore with design of the system the total power consumption of the loop (60 mA with standard and 22 mA with Ex) should be taken into consideration.
