MiniMAX Controller

Digital / Controllers

The Innotech MiniMAX Controller is a state of the art digital processing system that has the capability of controlling various types of industrial, commercial and domestic systems. The MiniMAX can operate as a standalone device, using its own universal I/O and TRIAC outputs to receive information and control external equipment, or as part of a network of Innotech devices, where MM01 (MiniMAX 01) interfaces with the Primary Network, and MM02 (MiniMAX 02) interfaces with the Sub System Network.

The MiniMAX controller features Universal I/O channels (UIO) which combine the functions of Universal Input and Analog Output channels into a single software programmable channel. Each UIO can be independently set via software to have input or output functionality. With this structure, you are free to assign functions as required, instead of choosing a fixed controller to fit the job.

The MiniMAXconfiguration program is created on a computer using a Windows based design program. This allows the user to configure the internal processes of the MiniMAX by using a graphical programming tool. The user places various process blocks and interconnecting lines to design the required control algorithm for the system.

A connector on the bottom right side of the case provides a RS485 communication interface for communicating with other networked devices.

Models:

MM01: MiniMAX Controller, Primary Network
MM02: MiniMAX Controller, Sub System Network

Communications
The RS-485 serial communication interface is specific to the product.

The MiniMAX (MM01) communications channels provide Global and Net functions for interfacing with other Innotech network resources. Connectivity is provided through a 5-way pluggable screw terminal connector.
The MiniMAX (MM02) communication channel is communicating only on a Sub System Network provided by the Sub System Gateway. Connectivity is provided through a 4-way pluggable screw terminal connector. The MM02 also features a EOL termination jumper.

RS485 Comms Termination
MM02 has communication termination requirements. Refer to the Innotech Network Cabling Manual DS 99.04 for a description in the use of End of Line jumpers (EOL) when connecting to a network.

Incorrect use of End of Line Jumpers can cause unreliable communication or total network failure.

Enclosure
The MiniMAX is housed in a rectangular case suitable for DIN Rail mounting. The housing is moulded from flame retardant plastics.
