HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
This book is meant for users of Bailey SLC, CLC controllers who are migrating to the
new generation MicroMod MOD 30ML controllers. Though both Bailey controllers and
MicroMod controllers are microprocessor based programmable controllers, the
configuration and the programming approach to them is different. This book should help a
Bailey user to understand the MOD 30ML controller with minimum time spent in learning
the new technology.
How to use this book:
The ViZapp Software contains Compound Galleries. A compound is a grouping of
function blocks configured and connected together for a specific control application. A
compound gallery is a library of commonly used compounds. Most of the commonly used
Bailey function codes have been translated to MOD 30ML compounds and stored in the
default gallery. This is included in ViZapp software versions 3 and above. The default
gallery contains multiple sections (tabs) for compounds:
• General Compounds
• Bailey Function Codes
• Bailey Templates that contain pre-configured Control strategies
• Bailey Extras
This library can also be downloaded from the MicroMod Support website at
The best way to use this book is to understand the MOD 30ML instrument database by
reading this chapter and then by going through the tutorial in the next chapter. Complete
the hands-on lab on configuring the MOD 30ML controller in the next chapter using the
ViZapp Software. After you have completed the lab, you will understand the mechanics of
configuring the MOD 30ML controller using ViZapp and the subtle difference in the
configuration process between Bailey tools and the ViZapp Software. You will also get
used to the new terminology and how easier and more powerful the MOD 30ML/Modcell
function blocks can be.
The subsequent chapters are reference material for the compounds.
For a complete training on MOD 30ML, use the ViZapp training manual IB-VIZAPP-
TUT
with the 3
rd
chapter (PID Loop Lab) replaced by the tutorial in the next chapter. This
tutorial is written in such a manner that you could jump to chapter 4 in the ViZapp
Training manual (IB-VIZAPP-TUT) after completing the tutorial.
