MicroTech Monitoring and Networking Options
PC monitoring
A PC (personal computer) equipped with the appropriate Monitor software can be used to provide a high-level
interface with a MicroTech network (see PC specification below). Monitor software features a Windows-
based display, multilevel password access, and advanced trendlogging. The PC can be connected to the
Reciprocating MicroTech controller either directly, via one twisted pair, shielded cable, or remotely, via phone
lines with an optional modem. For more information on connecting the PC to the controller, refer to Network
Systems literature.
PC specification
A direct or remote connected computer can be used for monitoring reciprocating chiller and Templifier unit
operation, changing set points, scheduling, trend logging, downloading software and diagnostic. The PC
must be an IBM or 100% true compatible. Table 11 shows the preferred and minimum PC specifications.
Other networking options
Additional network products available for use with reciprocating chillers and Templifiers include the Remote
Monitoring and Sequencing (RMS) Panel, the Network Master Panel (NMP), the Chiller System Controller
(CSC) and Open Protocol. For information regarding the application and usage of these MicroTech network
systems products, refer to Network Systems literature.
