Data Sheet 14.10

Description
Substantially reduce the cost of transmitting process
signals with Moore Industries’ unique problem solver,
the CCS® Cable Concentrator System®. The industryfirst CCS provides money-saving solutions for both
monitoring and control applications.
Data Acquisition—The CCS collects any
combination of up to 496 analog and/or digital
signals from dispersed devices (transmitters,
transducers, contact closures, etc.). It digitizes
and concentrates the signals on to an RS-485
communication link, and sends the data miles between
locations.
Control—With the CCS, you can transmit control
signals long distances on a single data link to valves,
pumps, motors, and other devices that require precise
on/off or proportional control.

Featuring a compact DIN-style rail-mount housing, an integral
digital display, and handy on-board configuration controls,
the CCS is highly flexible, yet easy to use.

Features
Figure 1. The CCS reduces the cost of transmitting multiple
signals long distances by eliminating the need for point-to-point wiring. The more signals you have, the greater your savings.*

• Configurable I/O Options. Available modules
accommodate analog (4-20mA, 1-5V, etc.), discrete,
and relay process signals.
• On-Site Programming and Calibration. The CCS
sets up and calibrates quickly and easily with
on-board controls and prompts on its integral LCD.
• MODBUS RTU Communication. For Peer-to-Host
Systems, this standard RS-485 protocol provides
trouble-free interface with MMI software packages,
PC, PLC, and DCS systems, and with other
networkable instrumentation (-MBR option required).

• Automatic Communication Restoration. Without
manual intervention, the CCS restores data transmission once the source of the communication failure is
removed.

• Stops Ground Loops. Complete input/output/power
isolation protects signals from degradation caused
by ground loops and other electrical transients.

* Typical installed costs shown are for a Peer-to-Peer System, and the number of signal
points indicated transmitted one mile at typical industry costs (U.S. dollars). “Standard
Multiconductor Cable” values do not include conduit, wire trays, and other material costs
or the labor costs associated with their installation. If these are required, savings realized
from the CCS may be substantially greater.

• Transmit Any Distance, Over Any Terrain. Use a
twisted wire pair, fiber optic, radio link, or telephone
modem data link to overcome rugged, long-distance,
normally impassable, and hazardous environments.
