LYNXTM System Instructions INTRODUCTION Your Lynx® Temperature Control System supplies a complete network of temperature control by providing each system an Operator Interface Panel and PID Control Module to each heater. A Lynx® Module is a compact PID temperature controller with RTD, J-Type, or K-Type Thermocouple feedback. The Lynx® Operator Interface Panel acts as a Global Programming Master for 1—8 heater strings with up to 128 Lynx® Modules per string and 1024 heaters per OI.

LYNXTM System Instructions LYNX SYSTEM SETUP GUIDE STEP 2: ATTACH LYNX MODULES AND CABLES STEP 1: INSTALL HEATERS Install the heaters onto the parts to be heated. Ensure that the heaters make good contact across their entire area. If not included in the heater, attach a temperature sensor to the part as recommended by the heater manufacturer. If using stand-alone Lynx docking station assembly, ensure heater plug matches receptacle. Wire appropriate plug on heater if required.

Any of the available input ports (1 - 8) may be used. Ensure all wiring connectors are fully and properly engaged. Mounting Options: VESA / FDMI Mount 75 x 75mm on center spacing. M6 x 10mm Inserts Provided.
LYNXTM System Instructions OPERATOR INTERFACE CONFIGURATION STEP 1: SYSTEM SETUP STEP 2: FACILITY SETUP Configure network connectivity settings. Select the facility map that best resembles the layout of your facility: -Multiple Floors -Sub Floor -Tile indication if no map representation is needed or desired Set a PIN to restrict access to the unit, if desired. Assign names for each section of your facility by selecting the pen icon next to each text box. A text box will appear enabling text editing.
LYNXTM System Instructions STEP 3: STRING AND ZONE SETUP Select the number and position of lines that most closely represents your facility. A minimum number of lines equal to the number of physical communication Strings connected to the OI must be assigned. The “Address Range” button lets you customize the number and order of Zones from a String are on each line. Setup is complete after all Zones have been assigned. Each String can be split into multiple lines if desired.

LYNXTM System Instructions ADVANCED MODULE MODBUS PROGRAMMING MODULE COMMUNICATIONS Remote communication to the Module is possible using Modbus-RTU communications over RS-485 serial. Default parameters for communication are 115,200 bits per second, 8 bits per byte, no parity, 2 stop bit. The baud Rate is adjustable using the Module Menu system. The controller responds to three types of Modbus commands. 1. 2. 3.
LYNXTM System Instructions TABLE 3: LYNX MODULE MODBUS REGISTERS Name Address Default Factory Default R/ W Description Unused 0 Modbus watchdog 2 10 Y RW Number of seconds for the Modbus watchdog timer (if enabled). When this time expires without a valid Modbus command, the device restarts.
LYNXTM System Instructions TABLE 4: LYNX MODULE MODBUS REGISTERS Name Address Default R/W Description 0 Factory Default Y Temperature offset 45 RW 1000 Y RW Used to calibrate measured temperature by adding or subtracting a value to the measured temperature. Units are in 0.001 degrees C. Divide by 1000 to get actual offset value in degrees C. This is a signed value. Used to calibrate measured temperature by multiplying measured temperature by a scaling factor.

LYNXTM System Instructions ADVANCED OPERATOR INTERFACE PANEL MODBUS PROGRAMMING OPERATOR INTERFACE PANEL COMMUNICATIONS Remote communication to the Operator Interface Panel is possible using Modbus TCP/IP communications via IEEE 802.3. The default access port is port 502 specifically for Modbus/Register commands. Please refer to the network IP address generated in the network settings of the Operator Interface Panel.
LYNXTM System Instructions ZONE LEVEL MODBUS TABLE Zone Level Information can be communicated for each Module connected to the Operator Interface Panel. The formula below must be used to calculate the Register Base Address for each Zone.
LYNXTM System Instructions GLOSSARY Autotune The controller will operate in On-Off mode for a period of time (typically 10-20 minutes) during which it will learn the behavior of the attached heater to optimize its PID control algorithm. After Autotune is completed the module will automatically switch into PID control mode. Baud Rate The baud rate (measured in bits per second (bps)) refers to the speed the control modules will use to communicate on the RS-485 serial bus.
