Page 7: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The PCS45/PCL45USB configurator enables Eaton’s MTL temperature converters and pulse isolators, part of Crouse-Hinds series, to be configured from a standard PC running a Microsoft® Windows® operating system. The configurator comprises PC software (PCS45) provided on a CD, and an ATEX certified interfacing link (PCL45USB). -
Page 8: Installation
INSTALLATION Although the software is supplied on a CD the user is strongly advised to check for the latest revision of the PCS45 application; this is a free download from our website http://www.mtl-inst.com/product/configuration_tools_and_software/ The site page also provides a USB driver file that must be downloaded and installed on the target PC to allow the application to communicate with the PCL45USB hardware. -
Page 9: Changing The Password
The software automatically opens a new file when the application is started. This clears the working database of the tool ready for a new configuration. The screen shot above shows the status bar for a new file. The password protects the configuration database. In the absence of a valid password, access is restricted to read-only (i.e. -
Page 10: Access Control
4 .4 Access Control To avoid unauthorised access a user is required to enter a password before being permitted to change any parameters. 4 .4 .1 Restricted Access This provides read-only access. Details of the current configuration can be viewed or printed. - Page 11 The fault shown indicates a serious failure of the serial communications. If this occurs, the user should check the physical connection, (i.e. the cables between the PC, PCL45USB and the isolator). Another reason for this fault is the incorrectselection of a serial port for the application. Once the user has established a connection with the isolator the Status Bar will be updated.

Page 12: System Testing
DISPLAYING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION In Online mode PCS45 automatically uploads the current configuration from the isolator. The user can view the current settings via the Display menu of the Menu Bar. The configuration data is segmented into different categories that reflect the feature-set of the target isolator. -
Page 13: Module Alarm Information
6 .2 .3 Module Alarm Information This window displays the relevant alarm parameters currently set for the module. As before, see the later sections of this manual for the parameter selections that can be made. ONLINE CONFIGURATION In Online mode the user can directly modify the configuration of the isolator. -
Page 14: Configuration Mtl45/5573 & Mtl45/5575
The current month is displayed automatically with today’s date circled in red. The user is free to click through the pages (using the arrows either side of the month name) and to click on any date. On completion the configuration needs to be download to the module (because, so far, these changes have taken place only in the database on the PC). -

10 of this document. The lower portion contains the selection for the output characteristic to follow either the Eaton’s MTL standard or for the NAMUR NE43 type. Simply type in the required values, select the required options and click Accept. -
Page 16: Alarms Configuration
7 .2 .4 Alarms Configuration The alarm parameters that can be set are changed dependent upon the input type selected and the base model being configured. In addition to the standard alarms for transmitter, cold-junction and line condition, an Early Burnout Detection can be enabled for thermocouple sensors Finally, the MTL45/5575 includes an alarm monitoring relay which, when enabled, requires the trip point and hysteresis to be set. - Page 17 The module has two modes of operation, available from the drop-down box at the top of the Input dialog box. • 2 inputs – 2 outputs = two separate input/output channels • 1 input – 2 outputs = one input driving both outputs This selection should be made first.

The representation of the User Sensor configuration screen is included here for completeness, but please contact your Eaton’s MTL product line representative for advice on the use of this facility before any attempt is made to generate your own sensor profile. -
Page 19: Configuration Mtl45/5532
User Sensor tab dialogue box MTLx576 7 .5 Configuration MTL45/5532 The MTLx532 pulse isolator and converter offers the option of an analogue output signal that can be scaled to represent the frequency of the input signal. To obtain this type of output, DIP switches at the side of the module must be pre-configured. See the instruction manual (INM4500 or INM5500) for details of these settings. - Page 20 The leak-flow parameters enable a threshold to be set which effectively ignores inputs below the set value. This facility is used, for example, when there is the possibility of a small residual trickle flow in either direction of material flow and this should not be included in the totalised values.

Page 21: Calibration
“window” terminology to describe this feature rather than a hi/lo alarm. 7 .6 Calibration In Online mode the user can opt to re-calibrate the output current. The original factory calibration of the isolator is accurate to within ±1 bit (which means around ±6µA) but for some applications it is useful to be able to ‘fine tune’... -
Page 22: Offline Configuration
OFFLINE CONFIGURATION The process of Offline configuration is identical to that of Online, (see section 5). This time rather than writing data directly into the memory of the isolator, configuration files are held locally within the database of PCS45. This method of working is sometimes referred to as Edit mode, (see section 2.4). -
Page 23: Diagnostics
DIAGNOSTICS The software provides a number of helpful system diagnostic tools. These are available via the Diagnostics menu of the Menu Bar. When running one of the diagnostic tools the software needs to be in communication with the isolator. In Offline mode PCS45 momentarily establishes a connection with the isolator. 9 .1 Status This diagnostic window shows the current status of... -
Page 24: Monitor
9 .2 Monitor This diagnostic window shows the Process Value, Output Current and the Cold Junction Value. This diagnostic tool remains active as long as the window is open. Data is automatically refreshed once every two seconds. 9 .3 Data-Logger This function allows the user to record either the Process Variable or Output current to a file for viewing with a separate software package e.g. -
Page 25: Set Output
At the end of the logging interval the following type of message appears. The data logging can be terminated at anytime via the End button. The user can opt to save the partial recording to file. If for any reason the data transfer is interrupted the logging will freeze until the PC-Link connection is re-established. -
Page 26: Parameters Explained
10 .3 Output characteristics The standard current output range for all Eaton’s MTL converters is 4-20mA with under/over range 0-22.250mA. The input signal range will be converted, so that the start of the range is corresponding to 4.000mA and the range end to 20.000mA. -

Output current 22.250mA 20.5mA 20mA Signal limitation according to NE43 Standard 4-20mA characteristic Full scale 0-20mA characteristic 3.8mA Range Range Input signal range begin 10 .4 Early Burn-out Detection This feature is an aid to anticipate the failure of thermocouple sensors. With age and exposure to temperature cycling the junction of the two dissimilar thermocouple materials starts to break down and eventually becomes an open circuit. -
Page 28: Leak Flow
10 .6 Leak flow The current output for the pulse isolator can be limited to a specific value when the input signal sits below a user-specified threshold. This facility is designed to overcome possible issues with low (or even negative) flow values and permits the user to set the output current to a low level. -

FAQs What is the user password. PCS45 is shipped with a default user password of MTL. __________________________________________________________ I keep seeing the following message. How do I get out of DEMO mode? This normally indicates that the password has not been properly acknowledged and that PCS45 is restricting the user access. - Page 30 INM PCS45...
