Configure the Sensors
Note: The basic operation, the menu design, and the menu structure are described in detail in the
user instruction manual. Operation of the System for both the integrated operating unit, i.e., the
MDO module, and also for the PC operating software "SUPREMA Manager". Knowledge of this
section is assumed in the following explanations. In the following, the configuration procedure is
described in a general manner. The input fields of the "SUPREMA Manager" are almost com-
pletely identical to those of the display on the MDO front panel module. Differences with respect
to operation are explained in the user instruction manual. The “SUPREMA Manager” can then be
used to operate the system under a Windows user interface. This is especially recommended for
the initial setup of a new system with a medium to large number of inputs, because it is faster and
easier to enter the input parameters on a PC keyboard than to enter them by means of the limited
number of operating buttons on the MDO front panel module.
NOTE: All entries of inputs, relay output parameters, or system parameters require that a valid
password be entered or that the key switch be actuated.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that only one operating method be used at once (MDO front
panel or PC operating software), because the option which is activated first inhibits the use of the
other input unit. It must also be remembered that, when the PC/laptop is changed from one SU-
PREMA control system to another, the connection has to be re-established..
Set the System Parameters
NOTE: The names of the menu and option fields refer to the display on the MDO front panel mod-
ule. The corresponding names in the "SUPREMA Manager" are in parentheses if they are not the
same.
The system parameters should be set first in the “Setup/System” (“Setup/System Settings”) menu.
The following options are available:
- Language: English, German, or Chinese can be selected as the system language.
- Set the Date and Time: The system time can be set in the menu "Setup/Time".
- New Password (Most Recent Password): A customer-specific password can be entered.
- Confirmation (Password Confirmation): Re-enter the new password to confirm.
NOTE: When a new password is entered, a pop-up menu appears, which asks that the old pass-
word be entered. The default password is: “AUER”. Note that it is entered in all-caps.
- Signal if locked: Here it is possible to choose what signal is present at the analog output
(MAO module) when a input is inhibited (i.e., alarm evaluation is deactivated). The following
selection parameters are available:
- “hold”: the signal present at the moment of inhibiting is frozen in;
- “pass”: the output signal continues to follow the input signal;
- “maintain”: a constant output current (3 mA) is generated. The only behaviour that complies
with EN 50271 is the function “maintain”.
NOTE: When a PC/laptop is connected, settings cannot be made simultaneously in the “Setup/
System” menu (or in the “Setup/System Settings” menu of the PC operating software). The first
operating unit to be activated inhibits the other one.
NOTE: Make sure that the displayed operation mode is "Standard". Otherwise the system behav-
iour differs from the description in this manual.
