ABB ControlMaster CM10 Universal process controller

ABB ControlMaster CM10 Universal process controller

OVERVIEW

The ControlMaster CM10 is a flexible, 1/8 DIN, universal PID process controller. Detailed process information is presented clearly on the CM10's full-color TFT display and an intuitive operator interface simplifies configuration and operation. Scalable in both hardware and software functionality, a CM10 can be specified easily to meet the needs of your application requirements. Flexible control functionality including on / off, time proportioning, analog PID, split output control and math & logic make the CM10 suitable for a wide range of process applications. Fully configurable via the easy-to-navigate front panel menus or PC configuration software, the CM10 can be commissioned rapidly and then tuned via the advanced autotune functionality.

Powerful operator display

The CM10 features a full-color 5.5 cm (2.2 in.) display for displaying detailed process information to the user. Process details such as alarm messages and diagnostic information are displayed clearly in full text without the need for difficult-toread scrolling displays.

Example of an operator page

Automatic selection of standard display templates immediately makes best use of the CM10's display. Extensive customization features then enable the displayed information to be tailored to suit the process requirements.

Diagnostics and alarm status display

The diagnostics and alarm status display provides detailed information on any active alarm or diagnostic condition. The operator can see, at-a-glance, the status of any alarm condition present within the process. Additionally, diagnostic messages are presented clearly to the operator, enabling rapid notification and simple diagnosis of any critical instrument status condition. Historical information of diagnostic messages can also be viewed in the controller's diagnostic log.

Problem solving flexibility

Extensive functionality is available to provide flexible problemsolving capability; making the CM10 much more than just a process controller.

Process alarms

8 independent process alarms can monitor any analog signal within the CM10, enabling extensive process monitoring capability. Alarms can be used to drive physical outputs or soft-wired to other functions within the controller.

Real-time alarms

The 'alarm clock' functionality provided by the CM10's realtime alarms enables time-of-day decisions to be introduced into the controller's actions or specific functions to be triggered routinely at specified times.

Math

8 math blocks provide arithmetic, averaging, min. / max. hold, square root and signal switching functionality. Simple equations can be performed in a single math block or multiple math blocks can be nested together to construct complex equations. Signal switching 'multiplexer' math blocks switch between 2 analog signals based on a trigger signal. For example, a backup sensor could be selected automatically on failure of a primary sensor.
