M‐VIEW™ RTU CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

PANEL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Controller can be mounted on a DIN rail for normal environments, or bolted to a panel for high vibration environments. Refer to the diagram for the panel mount hole spacing.

DIN RAIL MOUNT AND CAM OPERATION
DIN rail mounting is only recommended in low vibration environments.
Refer to the Specifications section for details.

Using a screwdriver, push in and fully rotate the Cam counterclockwise to push the DIN clip downward against spring pressure locking it open
Place the controller on the DIN rail
Using a screwdriver, push in and rotate the Cam 90 degrees clockwise to release the DIN clip to engage the DIN rail
Rotate the Cam an additional 90 degrees clockwise to lock the DIN clip in the closed position.
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
  Pollution Degree 2, as defined in IEC/EN 60664-1.
- 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 M-VIEW RTU 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. 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 M-VIEW RTU 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 M-VIEW DESIGNER 3.1 software.
  To ensure you do not exceed the capacity of your M-VIEW RTU 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 M-VIEW RTU 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 Controller. Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.
- The wire used to connect the Controller’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 (MV-RTU) occurs at the low side of the voltage range (approx. 12 V), recommended for high temperature applications.

EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Although FW Murphy 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.

A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly connected to protective earth.
Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield connection should be made as short as possible. The connection point 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.
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.
Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables is effective.
Contact FW Murphy Technical Support for recommendation for your application.
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
FW Murphy 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.
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.

MODULE INSTALLATION

Torque screws to 6.0 pound-force inch [96 ounce-force inch] (0.68 Nm).
WARNING: Disconnect all power to the unit before installing or removing modules.

COMMUNICATING WITH THE M‐VIEW™ RTU CONTROLLER

CONFIGURING A RTU CONTROLLER
The M-VIEW RTU Controller is configured using M-VIEW DESIGNER 3.1 software. The software is available as a no charge download from FW Murphy’s website. The software updates for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become available. By configuring the MVIEW RTU Controller using the latest software version, you are assured that your unit has the most up to date feature set. The 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 the software configuration.
The RS232 PGM port uses a programming cable made by FW Murphy to connect to the DB9 COM port of your computer. If you choose to make your own cable, use the “M-VIEW RTU Controller Port Pin Out Diagram” for wiring information.
The SD card can be used to program a controller by placing an image file on the SD card. The card is then inserted into the target controller and powered. Refer to the M-VIEW DESIGNER 3.1 User Manual for more information on the proper names and locations of the files.
