Installation

The Multi-Pump Control Manager (MPCM) allows you to operate up to eight
Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs) remotely. Standard installation involves
placement of the components and cabling connections.

Placement of Components

Because all connections between components run through the Basic Connection
Interface (BCI), it is usually placed in a central location; typically next to the
HPUs.

The dedicated PC running the Supervisor software is usually placed in the
control room.

Station Flow Managers (SFMs) are usually placed in alternate control rooms or
next to the test rig.

Remote E-Stops are usually placed at strategic locations, such as near exits from
the test rig.

Light stacks are strategically placed to be able to observe alarm and fault status in
case problems arise that require attention.

Mount the BCI

Four mounting brackets are provided on the BCI: two top and two bottom. Mount
the BCI using hardware that can support 50 kg (110 lbs); including the weight of
the BCI and attached cables.
