SmartCtrl™

SmartCtrl Packages

SmartCtrl Components

 




The SmartCtrl™ system has virtually eliminated all other interface modules because it is the most convenient and easiest to expand, and is quickly becoming the least expensive interface choice for most operant test chamber systems. Med Associates is the only company to offer a full line of standard modules, SuperPort™ modules, and special purpose couplers and control modules to complement the SmartCtrl™ system. The key to the SmartCtrl™ module is that it places both inputs and outputs on a single width module measuring less than one inch (2.5 cm) wide. Up to eight modules controlling eight independent chambers can be placed in the small tabletop cabinet and power supply (SG-6080D) or up to sixteen modules in the large tabletop cabinet and power supply (SG-6510D). A corresponding connection panel mounts directly to the chamber base for easy connection of all chamber components and accessories, while one or more universal data cables and a power cable complete the connection.

SmartCtrl Packages

DIG-716P1

DIG-716P1
SmartCtrl™ 4 Input/8 Output Package

This basic SmartCtrl™ package includes one interface module (DIG-716), connection panel (SG-716), control cable (SG-210CB) and power cable. A 25' (7.6 m) power cable (SG-210CP-25) is supplied for the first test station in each group of four. Subsequent stations are daisy chained together with 8' (2.4 m) cables (SG-210CP-8) and are sold separately. Additional cables may be added or substituted on request.

SmartCtrl Components

DIG-716

DIG-716 : SmartCtrl™ Interface Module, 4 Input/8 Output

This SmartCtrl™ interface module is ideal for simple chamber configurations. Four green LED indicators and eight red LED indicators make it easy to monitor the status of each input or output. All inputs and outputs are optically isolated and 28 V DC compatible. Inputs may be configured in a transition (pulse) or level mode for both normal (NO) switches or inverted (NC) switches. Outputs operate in the level mode only, however, pulsed outputs are easily generated in the software. Use one universal cable (SG-210CB or SG-210CB-50) to connect this unit to the connection panel (SG-716), which is normally mounted on the chamber base plate.

Dimensions:
0.875" W x 5.25" H x 7.25" D
(2.2 cm x 13.3 cm x 18.4 cm)

SG-716

SG-716
SmartCtrl™ Connection Panel, 4 Input/8 Output

This connection panel consists of a stainless steel enclosure that mounts securely to the base of the test chamber. Convenient Molex® connectors are provided for both inputs and outputs. Each output driver is rated at 28 V DC, 3 A. Inputs and outputs are clearly identified by the same I/O number assigned by the software. If an optional wall mount bracket is desired, order SG-215WMB.

Dimensions:
4.0" W x 2.0" D x 7.0" H
(10.2 cm x 5.1 cm x 17.8 cm)

DIG-716B

DIG-716B
SmartCtrl™ Interface Module, 8 Input/16 Output

This SmartCtrl™ interface module is a single-width and installs easily in any interface cabinet and houses 8 input and 16 output control lines. Front panel indicator LEDs, green for each input and red for each output, make it easy to monitor the status of each control line at all times. All inputs and outputs are optically isolated and 28 V DC compatible. Inputs may be configured in a transition (pulse) or level mode for both normal (NO) switches or inverted (NC) switches. Outputs operate in the level mode only, however, pulsed outputs are easily generated in software. Use one universal cable (SG-210CB or SG-210CB-50) to connect this unit to the connection panel (SG-716B), which is normally mounted on the chamber base plate.

Dimensions:
0.875" W x 5.25" H x 7.25" D
(2.2 cm x 13.3 cm x 18.4 cm)

SG-716B

SG-716B
SmartCtrl™ Connection Panel, 8 Input/16 Output

This connection panel consists of a stainless steel enclosure that mounts securely to the base of the test chamber, and features convenient Molex® connectors for both inputs and outputs. There are eight input connectors, sixteen output connectors and three power connectors. Each output driver is rated at 28 V DC, 3 A. Inputs and outputs are clearly identified by the same I/O number assigned by the software. If an optional wall mount bracket is desired, order SG-215WMB.

Dimensions:
4.0" W x 2.0" D x 7.0" H
(10.2 cm x 5.1 cm x 17.8 cm)

Cables



SG-210CB

SG-210CB
Universal Cable, 25' (7.6 m)

SG-210CB-50
Universal Cable, 50' (15.2 m)

This universal control cable may be used to connect any SmartCtrl™ interface module to the associated connection panel. The cable features molded DB-25 connectors on each end. The round cable is easier to route, the heavy-duty vinyl sheath more durable and the wire less susceptible to damage than flat ribbon cables. Order power cables separately.

SG-210CP

SG-210CP-25
Power Cable, 25' (7.6 m)

SG-210CP-8
Power Cable, 8' (2.4 m)

These power cables are used to complete the interface connection to the test chamber. The 25' power cable (SG-210CP-25) is generally used for the first test station in each group of four. Subsequent stations are daisy chained together with 8' power cables (SG-210CP-8). Separate power cables were first introduced to expand the control lines for the larger SmartCtrl™ interface module (DIG-716B), however, a bonus result is the ability to meet higher current demands of multiple chamber accessories, and increased reliability with custom installations requiring cable lengths that are longer than the standard.
