SAFETY ALERTS

The symbols below are used on the equipment and throughout this

document to draw the user’s attention to important operational and

safety information.

CAUTION:

Read complete instructions prior to

installation and operation of the

unit.

CAUTION OR WARNING:

Electrical shock hazard.

All safety related instructions that appear in the manual must be

observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to either

the instrument or the system. If the instrument is used in a manner not

specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the

equipment may be impaired.

PRESENTATION

The N1100 is an extraordinarily versatile process controller. It holds

in one single instrument all the main features needed for the vast

majority of industrial processes. It accepts in a single model virtually

all the sensors and signals used in the industry and provides the

main output types required for the operation of diverse processes.

The configuration can be performed directly on the controller or through

the USB interface. The NConfig software (free) is the configuration

management tool. Connected to the USB of a Windows computer, the

controller is recognized as a serial communications port (COM) running

with a Modbus RTU protocol.

Through the USB interface, even if disconnected from the power

supply, the configuration performed in a piece of equipment can be can

be saved in a file and repeated in other pieces of equipment that

require the same configuration.

It is important that the users read carefully this manual before using

the controller. Verify if the release of this manual matches the

instrument version (the firmware version is shown when the controller

is energized).

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS

• Multi-sensor universal input (sensors and standard signals);

• Protection for open sensor in any condition;

• Relay, 4-20 mA and logic pulse control outputs all available in the

standard model;

• Self-tuning of PID parameters;

• Automatic / Manual function with “bumpless” transfer;

• Four modes of independents alarms, with functions of minimum,

maximum, differential (deviation), open sensor and event;

• Timer functions that can be associated to the alarms;

• Retransmission of PV or SP in 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA;

• Input for remote setpoint;

• Digital input with 5 functions;

• Programmable soft-start;

• 7 setpoint profile programs with 7 segments each, with the ability

to be linked together for a total of 49 segments;

• Password for parameters protection;

• Universal power supply.

OUTPUTS, ALARMS AND DIGITAL INPUTS CONFIGURATION

The controller input and output channels (I / O) can assume multiple

functions: control output, digital input, digital output, alarm output,

retransmission of PV and SP. These channels are identified as I / O

1, I / O 2, I / O 3, I / O 4 and I / O 5.

The basic controller model comes loaded with the following features:

I / O 1- output to Relay SPST-NA;

I / O 2- output to Relay SPST-NA;

I / O 5- current output, digital output, digital input;

Optionally, other features can be added, as shown under the item

“Identification” in this manual:

- 3R: I / O3 with output to SPDT relay;

- DIO: I / O3 and I / O4 as digital input and output channels;

- 485: Serial Communication

N1100 Controller USB INTERFACE The USB interface is used for CONFIGURING or MONITORING the controller. The NConfig software must be used for the configuration. It makes it possible to create, view, save and open configurations from the equipment or files in your computer. The tool for saving and opening configurations in files makes it possible to transfer configurations between pieces of equipment and to make backup copies.

N1100 Controller Remote Setpoint Feature available in the controller's terminals 9 and 10. When the Remote SP input signal is 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA, an external 100Ω shunt resistor of must be connected to terminals 9 and 10 as indicated in Figure 4c. Figure 4c – Connection for remote SP Digital Input Connections Figures 5a and 5b show switches (Dry Contact) driving I/O3 (or I/O4) and I/O5.
