MPC - 20, simple changes

Post by CRM » Thu May 07, 2015 3:37 pm

Hello,

Keith with Cummins here, have a single install we're doing monitoring on a mechanical engine and then take that data to the modbus. Have not been through the training as this project is a last minute install. Few questions below

Questions:
1) Any way to have the screen say ‘Intake temp’? There’s a good selection of already loaded parameters but would like intake temp as one too.
2) For the 0-5 inputs… does the display have Analog Input Pulldown of 47.5k Ohms?
a. We’re going to use 3 temp sensors (variable resistance) that we’ll us a 2.8k resistor to convert to 0-5 volts.
b. On the single oil pressure input we’ll need a 47.5k pulldown and didn’t know if the display already had that.

Thanks

Hello Keith with Cummins,

Using the "Simplified" configuration tool, if you don't see the parameter you want in the list when you select the Page Editor tab, select an Editable Region and Edit Selected Region Contents, then you will need to use the MPC20-Advanced configuration in the full version of the PowerVision Configuration Studio.

It can be tedious work to add a screen or change the list of parameters in the MPC20 standard configuration. Have you been to the Powervision Configuration Studio traning? I would highly recommend it if this is your first exposure to PowerVision Configuration Studio.

The MPC20 does not have a pulldown of 47.5k Ohms.

There are many types of senders that have already been configured. Hopefully, you can find one that matches the ones you need from the list found in the dropdowns for the Analog Inputs.

We will be glad to help if you have more questions.
