ECOLAB MB Hybrid-P Multi Booster
This menu is used for the configuration of the booster. It is in this menu the selection of machine typeis made, and also a few functions are enabled here. This menu is Only to be used by Ecolab personel. End User is NOT supposed to access this menu.
Installations
Reset All Counters
Reset Total Counters in Info Menu (AAA).
Powered Time
Shows for how many days the controller Board and display board has been used.
It is not possible to reset this timer.
Device type
This menu must be set to match the machine type in which the display module
is used. MB: Used for all Multiboosters
**I/O Settings
**
This menu is used for the configuration of the 2 outputs sockets and 1 input at the controller board. Both Output and Input Ports are operated in parallel, so there are no difference whether ports at controller 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 is used.
The output sockets are relays, with the following maximum specifications:
OUT1 and OUT2 relays:
Blocking voltage | Volt | 28 |
---|---|---|
Load current | mA | 100 |
The input voltage at “IN” port must be within the limts below:
Input Port (IN)
Input voltage | Volt | 12 |
---|---|---|
Release signal enable | Volt | >5 |
Set Output 1 cfg
None:
No function.
Run/Stop:
The relay is on if the booster is running, and off when the booster is
stopped.
Error:
The relay goes on if the tipster detects an error, otherwise, the relay is
“OFF”. The relay will go OFF when an error is reset by the “OFF” button.
Set Output 2 cfg
None:
No function.
Delayed start:
When the booster detects a start condition (flow or pressure) this relay goes
on, and the booster will not start until a preset no. of seconds have passed.
The size of the delay is set in the settings menu, under Startup delay “EW”.
This menu is only visible when output 2 cfg” is set to Delayed start.
Set Input cfg
None:
No function.
Setpoint:
This is used when an external control of the output pressure is wanted. The
external voltage source must be in the interval between 4-10V for the machine
to run. 4V is equal to 10 bars and 10V is equal to 25 bars (not more than
20bar + inlet pressure).
Release:
This signal is used for keeping the pump stopped until a signal is present.
The signal level must be above 5V for release of the pump (but not more than
12V).
Assigning address after replacement of display, control board, or
frequency inverter
- Power off all pumps except pump nr 1, typically the pump closet to the display.
- Wait for power to be completely off pumps (3 min.)
- In display go to setup → multi-pump → configure network → confirm configure the network.
- The display will now for a short while be looking like this:
- After a short while the display will change to “Power up Pump No.: 2 of 2” (if it is a BF16 otherwise it will change to “Power up Pump No.: 2 of x” where x is the total no of pumps).
- For a BF16 the display will look like this:
- Turn on power to pump no 2.
- When this is done for all pumps one after the other, the display will restart and the booster is ready to run.
Firmware upgrade procedure
By cable
Requirements
USB Programming cable (NEW CABLE FOR CHAMELEON PLUS) 110001526.
PC With windows XP or windows 7 for running upgrade program. Firmware upgrade program (FWU) installed on pc.
Upgrading the display
- Power off the booster.
- Connect the upgrade cable to the USB port in the PC.
- Connect the display to the upgrade cable.
- Go to menu: setup – Communication – Firmware upgrade by cable – Confirm firmware upgrade.
- Press “OK”
- The display should now be looking like this:
- Disconnect the display from the cable.
- Connect the display to the cable.
- The display module should now be looking like this, with the red and green LED on.
- Start up the FWU program.
- Press the UPGRADE button.
- After a few seconds port should show which port number the USB is using, and SW ID shows the version of the software. Finally, a taskbar will start at the program line. When this taskbar reaches the end (app. 5 – 15 min), the upgrade will turn green, if everything worked as planned.
- The FWU program will now be looking like this.
- The display should restart.
- Disconnect the display from the upgrade cable.
- Connect the display to connector no 10 at the controller board.
- Repower the booster.
- Go to menu → setup → Multipump → upgrade controllers → confirm controller upgrads.
- After a few seconds the “Erase” line in the display shold start counting to 100%.
- When Erase reaches 100% it will be changed to “Program” and start counting from 0- 100% again.
- When the upgrade is finished the display should be looking like this.
- Switch off the power to the unit, and wait till power is off.
- Power on the booster again.
- The Booster should now be upgraded.
- Go to the menu info – Machine info and verify that both SW versions for both display and controller are correct.
- Go to readings – Firmware version. And verify software version is the same for all controllers.
Firmware upgrade procedure
By Infrared
Requirements
USB Infrared Programming cable (NEW CABLE FOR CHAMELEON PLUS) 110001558
PC With windows XP or windows 7 for running upgrade program. Firmware upgrade program (FWU) installed on pc.
