DESCRIPTION

The Graphite ® Edge Controller is designed to remotely connect, monitor and control equipment in process applications. At the core of the product is Crimson ® 3 featuring an embedded IEC61131 control engine, that can be configured via Ladder, Function Block, Structured Text, and

Instruction List. Additionally, the Graphite Edge Controller is optimized for multi-vendor environments with powerful protocol conversion, built-in data logging and a virtual operator interface for remotely viewing equipment and processes. The Edge Controller can be expanded to meet almost any application requirement through the use of plug-in digital and analog I/O modules that leverage the Graphite Expansion

Racks. The integrated rack port supports 4 GEXRACK2 bases (12 modules). An additional 12 modules can be added using the USB host port (GEXRACK1, 3 GEXRACK2).

Red Lion’s industry leading protocol library offers access to over 300 drivers including PLCs, drives, cameras, bar code readers and many other devices providing easy data mapping to PLCs, PCs, and SCADA

Systems. In addition, the Edge Controller can convert over 13 protocols simultaneously, seamlessly connecting and communicating with disparate devices. Graphite Edge Controllers offer numerous communication ports including high-speed RS-232/485 and 10/100Base-

T(X) Ethernet ports. Additionally, the Edge Controller features built-in

USB host ports for fast downloads of configuration files and access to trending and data logging information. Eliminate the need for external protocol converters and use an Edge Controller to connect and control to all your devices.

The Graphite Edge Controller can be programmed with Red Lion’s

Crimson 3 software using a simple drag and drop interface to configure data tags, virtual displays, protocol conversion and data logging in minutes. Embedded in Crimson 3 software platform is the IEC 61131 control engine, Crimson Control which can be written in 4 programming languages including Ladder, Function Block, Structured Text, and

Instruction List. The controller comes with Crimson Control functionality enabled, without the need for additional equipment or modules.

Red Lion’s Edge Controller is housed in an all-aluminum housing, which provides reliable operation that can withstand even the most demanding environments. The result is an industrially-hardened solution that connects, monitors, and controls disparate equipment in multivendor applications.

LOCK

For hazardous location installation the following shall be taken into consideration:

- When used in a Zone 2 environment, the device shall be panel mounted in at least Zone 2 IECEx/ATEX-Certified tool accessible enclosure with a minimum ingress protection rating of at least IP54 as defined in IEC/EN 60529.

- The equipment shall only be used in an environment of not more than

- Must be wired using Division 2 wiring methods as specified in article

501-4(b), 502-4(b), and 503-3(b) of the National Electric Code, NFPA

70 for installation within the United States, or as specified in section

19-152 of Canadian Electrical Code for installation in Canada.

CONNECTING TO EARTH GROUND

The third pin of the power connector of the Edge Controller is chassis ground for the unit. Your unit should be connected to earth ground.

The chassis ground is not connected to signal common of the unit.

Maintaining isolation between earth ground and signal common is not required to operate your unit. But, other equipment connected to this unit may require isolation between signal common and earth ground. To maintain isolation between signal common and earth ground care must be taken when connections are made to the unit.

For example, a power supply with isolation between its signal common and earth ground must be used. Also, plugging in a USB cable may connect signal common and earth ground.

1

1 USB’s shield may be connected to earth ground at the host. USB’s shield in turn may also be connected to signal common.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The Graphite Edge Controller requires a 10-30 VDC power supply.

Your unit may draw considerably less than the maximum rated power depending upon the features being used, and the applied voltage. As additional features are used your unit will draw increasing amounts of power. Items that could cause increases in current are modules, additional on-board communications, SD card, and other features programmed through Crimson software.

Note: Modules connected via a GEXRACK1 to the Edge Controller, are powered by the GEXRACK1 and not the Edge Controller

To ensure you do not exceed the capacity of your Graphite host power supply, calculate the total power consumption required for all of your planned modules. Each module’s maximum power consumption is listed in the Specifications of their Product Bulletin. The total power available for modules is listed in the specifications of the Graphite host.

In any case, it is very important that the power supply is mounted correctly if the unit is to operate reliably. Please take care to observe the following points:

– Voltage range stated is at the power connector, not at the power source.

– The power supply must be mounted close to the unit, with usually not more than 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable between the supply and the operator interface. Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.

– The wire used to connect the operator interface’s power supply should be at least 22-gage wire suitably rated for the temperatures of the environment to which it is being installed. If a longer cable run is used, a heavier gage wire should be used. The routing of the cable should be kept away from large contactors, inverters, and other devices which may generate significant electrical noise.

– A power supply with an NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and SELV rating is to be used. This type of power supply provides isolation to accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains power supply due to single faults. SELV is an acronym for

“safety extra-low voltage.” Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall exhibit voltages safe to touch both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault, such as a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a single component has occurred. A suitable disconnect device shall be provided by the end user.

– Peak efficiency (GRAC0001) occurs at the low side of the voltage range (approx. 12 V), recommended for high temperature applications.

EMC

 

INSTALLATION

 

GUIDELINES

Although Red Lion Controls products are designed with a high degree of immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods must be followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical noise, source or coupling method into a unit may be different for various installations. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very important and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome installation. Listed are some EMI guidelines for a successful installation in an industrial environment.

1. A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly connected to protective earth.

2. Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield connection should be made as short as possible. The connection point

-3-

  Bulletin No. GRAC1-D

Drawing No. LP0994 for the shield depends somewhat upon the application. Listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in order of their effectiveness.

a. Connect the shield to earth ground (protective earth) at one end where the unit is mounted.

b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when the noise source frequency is over 1 MHz.

3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with

AC power lines, conductors, feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and heaters, etc. The cables should be run through metal conduit that is properly grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation is near a commercial radio transmitter.

Also, Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far away as possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.

4. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.

5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables is effective. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are recommended:

Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (Red Lion Controls #FCOR0000)

Line Filters for input power cables:

Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (Red Lion Controls #LFIL0000)

6. To protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to minimize radiated and conducted noise (EMI), some type of contact protection network is normally installed across the load, the contacts or both. The most effective location is across the load.

a. Using a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (RC) network or metal oxide varistor (MOV) across an AC inductive load is very effective at reducing EMI and increasing relay contact life.

b. If a DC inductive load (such as a DC relay coil) is controlled by a transistor switch, care must be taken not to exceed the breakdown voltage of the transistor when the load is switched. One of the most effective ways is to place a diode across the inductive load. Most

Red Lion products with solid state outputs have internal zener diode protection. However external diode protection at the load is always a good design practice to limit EMI. Although the use of a snubber or varistor could be used.

CONTROLLER

The Controller is configured using Crimson ® software. Crimson software is available as a no charge download from Red Lion’s website.

Crimson updates for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become available. By configuring the Edge Controller using the latest Crimson version, you are assured that your unit has the most up to date feature set. Crimson software can configure the controller through the RS232 PGM port, USB port, ethernet port or SD card.

The USB port is connected using a standard USB cable with a Type B connector. The driver needed to use the USB port will be installed as part of Crimson configuration.

The RS232 PGM port uses a programming cable made by Red Lion to connect to the DB9 COM port of your computer. If you choose to make your own cable, use the “Graphite Edge Controller Port Pin Out Diagram” for wiring information.

The SD card can be used to program a controller by placing a configuration file and firmware on the SD card. The card is then inserted into the target controller and powered. Refer to the Crimson literature for more information on the proper names and locations of the files.

7. Care should be taken when connecting input and output devices to the instrument. When a separate input and output common is provided, they should not be mixed. Therefore a sensor common should NOT be connected to an output common. This would cause EMI on the sensitive input common, which could affect the instrument’s operation.
