Conception of the Gas detection system GMA200
The gas detection controller GMA200continues with the tradition of thecompany under consideration of innovativetechnology and trend-settingflexibility. It is designed for commercialand industrial applications for themeasurement of combustible andtoxic gases as well as for the measurementof oxygen. The compactconstruction of the GMA200-MW4provides a cost-efficient solution forsafe gas monitoring of industrial facilities.
Parallel Measurement and flexible application
Up to four analog and 16 digital transmitterscan be connected to GMA200-MW4 and monitored simultaneously.Via the configuration software themeasurement range, the measurementdesignation, the type of transmitterand the type of gas can be setindividually as well as three alarmthresholds can be programmed forevery connected single transmitter.The microprocessor of the GMA200-MW4 evaluates all receiving signalsand activates alarm and relays. Indoing so one single gas detectioncontroller GMA200-MW4 can masterdifferent gas detection tasks.
Integrated Relays
Permanent increasing demands on safetymeasures require complex gas detectionsystems and redundant protectivemeasures to protect from gas hazards.Therefore the GMA200-MW4 has sixinternal relays. For the implementationof safety measures and alarm, four relayscan be programmed freely so thatin case of alarm the safety measurescan be triggered automatically. Theprogramming grants wide-ranged andflexible possibilities like allocation of oneor more measurement point s to relay,single alarm per measurement point,configuration of collective alarm andgroup alarm, error report and votingfunction. For each, safety related errorreport and maintenance, one furtherrelay is available.
Relay modules
With a relay module GMA200-RT respectivelyGMA200-RTD the GMA200-MW4 can be expanded on further16 free programmable relays. Up tofour additional relay modules with 16relays each can be administrated bythe GMA200-MW4. The relay moduleGMA200-RT is connected via thedigital interface RS485 and allows adecentralized installation of the relaymodules, which offers great flexibilityon this basis and enables cost savingsdue to less effort of installation.
System functions: LED-lamps
The Status of the controller, i.e. operation,error, service and active relaysare shown via LED’s
Graphic display
The clear conception of the controllerGMA200-MW4 allows the rapid recognitionof hazardous situations. Currentmeasurement values are shown continuouson the LCD- graphic display.At Alarm a red back light is active.Furthermore the displaying of
Alarm 1,
Alarm 2 and
Alarm 3
occurs on the LED graphic display.Simultaneously the status of the activerelays 1-6 is shown by the LEDlamps in the case of alarm.The integrated storage allows thereading of alarm stages and minimumand maximum of gas concentrationon the LCD-display for the first hazardassessment.
Data logger function
For the Storage of measurement datathe controller GMA200-MW4 can beequipped with a Micro SD memorycard. Measurement values, averages,alarm events and errors can be savedand evaluated long lasting.
Keyboard operation
Five buttons enable the operation ofthe controller GMA200-MW4. Mainfunctions of the keyboard are theacknowledgement of alarms and operatingvia menu of the GMA-MW4.In the operation menu, the status ofthe controller, the Transmitter andthe relays can be accessed.
Configuration
A USB interface on the ControllerGMA200-MW4 can be used for theconnection with the configurationsoftware on a PC.
Digital Interfaces of the GMA200- MW4 (RS485)
The Gas Detection Controllers ofthe GMA200 product line have threeRS485 interfaces.
Digital Interface TRM BUS
The TRM BUS allows the connectionof up to 16 digital Transmitters byGfG. They can be connected flexiblyin loop structure or line structureto GMA200 and offers wide rangeof possible connections. In additionevery TRM BUS offers to integrate theexternal Relay module GMA200 RT orGMA200-RTD.
Digital Interface GMA BUS
Besides the option to use this BUSfor the connection of external relaymodule, this interface offers the possibilityto integrate the Gas DetectionController GMA200 into network offacilities. A Modbus protocol in theRTU mode, which is transmitted viathe GMA BUS interface allows readingout the status of the Gas DetectionController GMA 200 by using a PC.Additional gateways (Profibus, Profinet)are offered by GfG and enablethe digital status monitoring anddata processing via further externalmodules (e.g. PLC)
GMA200-Visual
Complex Gas Detection Systems withseveral Gas Detection Controllerstype GMA200 and numerous differentTransmitters call for a clearoverview to guarantee safety. Therapid and precise localization of gashazards is decisive to protect facilities,environment and human life.The PC based Visualization SoftwareGMA200-Visio evaluates the statusof the entire Gas Detection SystemGMA200 and displays it clearly. In thecase that any alarm threshold is exceed,the alarm triggering measuringstation with associated designation,the measured value, the measuredunit (vol. % or %LEL) and the typeof gas immediately is marked on thescreen, so that appropriate measurescan be taken promptly.
