Additional Features
The Operator Interface (touch screen) contains a removable compact flash card that can be used to
transfer data from the Model 9210 to a computer. This flash card acts like a removable hard drive,
however it is very small and contains no moving parts to make it very portable. It is located on the back of
the display (see
Flash Card Installation
on page #8).
Also included is a “Utility Software CD” that includes SSi’s Super Data (SD) Recorder. SD Recorder is a
utility program that can be loaded onto any Windows® based computer (operating Windows 98® or
higher). This software will allow the computer to read the data from the Model 9210, and allow it to be
charted in a manner that is similar to a strip chart recorder.
The Operator Interface is normally accessed via the touch-screen, however connections also exist that will
allow the operator to use a traditional mouse and keyboard to enter information.
Ethernet Connections
The Ethernet connection has two distinct uses. The first is, should the Operator Interface fail, it allows a
laptop to be connected to the Series 9210 DIN rail mounted unit. This connection can act as a LIMITED
FUNCTION “operator interface” until the Operator Interface can be repaired or replaced. The laptop needs
to be operating a WINDOWS 98® or higher with Internet Explorer. The default IP address is
192.168.0.200. If you are experiencing problems please call 800-666-4330 and talk with our computer
communications personnel. The second use for the Ethernet port would be for communications to a SCADA
software package. Call us at 800-666-4330 if you are interested in this option.
Mechanical Installation
The Model 9210 operator interface is generally flush-mounted, either in an existing enclosure, on a “plate”
that will be retrofitted to an existing enclosure, or on a new enclosure specifically designed for it’s particular
application. Installation begins by securing the new enclosure to the floor or wall, securing the retrofit plate
to the door of the existing enclosure, or flush-mounting the operator interface in a cut-out of the existing
enclosure. When tightening the retaining clips on the Operator Interface, it is important to make them snug
but not to over-tighten them. Over-tightening can warp the bezel and cause irreparable damage to the
Operator Interface. The DIN rail mount portion of the controller (the Model 9210 and the 24 VDC power
supply) needs to be located in close proximity to the existing wires that were connected to the older control
unit being replaced. These units should be secured prior to making any electrical connections.
