MPC II Controller

Digital / Controllers

This product has been superseded.

Replacement Product: Omni BEMS Controller

The Innotech MPCII Controller is a state-of-the-art processing system that has the capability of controlling various types of industrial systems. Although the MPCII Controller is flexible and can be adapted to a variety of applications, it is primarily designed to control large scale heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The MPCII Mid Points Controller is operationally tailored to the customer’s specific application requirements by Gen2 Software applications and several types of hardware modules. Many types of software programs are used to configure the hardware to the customer’s intended application and to assist in plant-monitoring, analysis, data exchange and troubleshooting.

Because of its flexibility, the MPCII Controller can be connected in a number of different configurations, based on the system’s operational requirements. In the simplest configuration, a single controller acts stand-alone for the system. More complex installations use multiple digital controllers sharing data between themselves and/or a computer. In these applications, communication between the digital controllers is facilitated by a Global Points system and communication with the computer is by a standard RS- 485 network.

The MPCII is designed to be mounted inside a control panel and offers an array of inputs and outputs enabling it to monitor and control all types of plant and equipment. The creation of control strategies is made simple by the use of the GEN2Config configuration utility, a PC resident, Windows- based software package. This utility with its powerful Graphical User Interface, allows the user to create an entire strategy in block-diagram form, before downloading it to the MPCII Controller where it is permanently stored in non volatile flash RAM.

User access to the MPCII is via a PC on either the RS232 comm port, RS485 Net Comms or remotely via a modem. From a PC, the user can gain access to manipulate and interrogate the controller using tools from the GEN2 family of software products.

Alert - A utility that reports on alarms generated by Innotech Digital Controllers. A Genesis II MPI (Modem/Printer Interface) is required to capture the alarms and forward the details via modem to a computer running this utility.
AutoStart - An automatic program launching utility specifically designed for use with GenIIXtract and MAXTract software. It allows any number of Windows batch programs to be automatically started at regular time intervals.
EasyBill - An automatic charging utility program for use with Innotechs Direct Digital Controller. Using EasyBill in conjunction with Genesis II Controllers, a plant administrator is able to analyse plant usage and automatically calculate charges for that usage.
EtherMate - Specialised configuration tool for Ethernet enabled Innotech devices. It provides the functionality to set the RS485 baud rate, serial format and TCP/IP settings.
Gen2Config - Configuration tool for Innotechs Direct Digital Controller, the Genesis II. It allows you to internally configure a Genesis II Digital Controller by using a simple point-and-click approach on a PC running Windows.
Gen2Mon - A monitoring and debugging utility designed to help with commissioning and trouble-shooting a Genesis II Digital Controller.
Gen2Sim - A Windows-based software program that simulates an Innotech Direct Digital Controller. The Virtual Genesis II Controller can be powered on, configured and interrogated in the same way as a physical DDC.
Gen2XTract - Gen2Xtract is the data log extraction utility for Innotech’s Direct Digital Controller, the Genesis II. It allows extraction of all or part of the history log data residing on a Genesis controller into a specified data format.
iComm- Communications server used by Innotech software to communicate with Innotech digital controllers.
Innograph - Designed to specifically cater for the data log graphing capabilities of Innotech controllers, and it has the flexibility to display data log graphing information from other sources.
