PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The T6200 Controller is made up of two parts: The Operator Interface and the T6200 Controller.
The Operator Interface with the Windows CE platform enables complete interaction with the T6200
Controller. Through the touch screen and LCD display users can change setpoints, outputs, start/stop
devices, scroll through trends, or acknowledge alarms. The T6200 Controller functions as a
multiapplication Controller or intelligent RTU capable of performing all data acquisition, continuous
control, batch control, logic control and RTU requirements. Each T6200 Controller includes 999
function blocks in which control/logic functions can reside. The integral input/output (I/O) section
of each T6200 Controller accommodates 32 I/O points. The large library of functions (over 100) and
the practically unlimited number of blocks allow for pre-configuration of a wide variety of strategies
by the factory and permits field application optimization.
Design Structure
The Operator Interface is an embedded PC. It is independent of the T6200 Controller and it
communicates with the T6200 Controller via Ethernet.
The T6200 Controller consists of three physical parts: the control board/s (single or redundant), the
controller housing, and the termination panel. Refer to Figure 1-1. The termination panel may also
include a remote termination panel for the I/O connections.
The control boards are a single printed circuit board design. The board contains the microprocessor
circuitry, the memory chips, the communication interfaces, and the input/output conditioning
components. Primary and backup control boards are identical.
