Class Type               Engineering

 System                     Microcentral/Graphic Central

 Duration                  4.5 days

 Class Audience       Mechanical HVAC systems maintenance persons that have responsibility to maintain or

                                  reconfigure Micro/Macrocel systems integrated with their Excel Plus systems and using  a

                                  Microcentral/Graphic Central front end. 

Offered At                Customer site or St Paul

 # of Students            Minimum 4, Maximum 8 

Cost                          $2110 per person at site, $1827 St Paul

 

Brief                         The course provides an overview of the entire Excel Plus system and its extensions and

                                  enhancements.  The basic portions of the course is a complete discussion of the usage of

                                  Microcel Portable Programmer’s Terminal (MPPT) including MCEL Systems             

                                  Configuration and System Programming.  The course then goes into a discussion of the

                                  engineering cycle for the MCEL controllers.  The course identifies the first step as the

                        definition of the programming environment for each controller.  This step involves a decision as to whether a Honeywell generated database or a custom database or a modified Honeywell database will be used for the relevant controller.  This step also decides as to what Honeywell provided configuration and precoded files will be used.  In the next step one learns how the point file for the controller is created.  This is followed naturally by the creation of a program file for the controller using the provided editor program. The intimate connection between the point file and the program file is pointed out.  The next step shows how to compile the program into an error-free executable code.  This leads into the creation of an object file for the point and program file set and is ready for download into the MCEL EEPROM.  A very important part of the course is to deal with the somewhat mythical function of the MPOT database.  The course shows how point descriptor files are prepared and loaded into the MPOT and then later used using the Program Select function of the MPOT under the Main Menu function of Configure MCEL. 

The course also shows the on-line test and checkout of the created databases. The course even dwells on the aesthetics of the engineering sequence provided by the Honeywell Engineers.

Objectives                  Upon completion of the course the student will be able to: 

·         Interface a Microcel Portable Programmer’s Terminal to an MCEL.

·         Perform all Point File Programming functions for any MCEL.

·         Perform all Programming functions for the Point File of any MCEL.

# of Students     Minimum 4, Maximum 8

Brief                   The course provides an overview of the entire Excel Plus system and its extensions and

                            enhancements.  The basic portion of the course is a complete discussion of the entire Excel

                            Plus Microcentral Engineering Sequence for any job of any description or complexity.

 

    The course is very fast paced and learning takes place in large discrete segments.  The course

    focuses on developing a very independent thought pattern characterized by an aggressive

    roblem-annihilating and not merely problem-solving approach. 

    The course first presents a very detailed block diagram of the Excel Plus Microcentral System.

   The course then presents a small mechanical system to be controlled by the Excel Plus system.

   To this end a point file is created quickly to define all mechanical and electrical equipment.  This

    is followed by a Mechanical Systems Data Access scheme that is to be used by the end-user.

   After this the defined equipment is set in required relationships with each other via the

    programming language Deltanet Pascal.  At this point fire alarm equipment is added to the

    already created point file.  Fire alarm programs, if any, are also added at this point. 

 

    It is also shown that at this point Satellite processors such as Micro/Macrocel point files can be

    programmed.  This completes the data base creation sequence.  Each record creation is

    illustrated on-line using a powerful Honeywell Engineering program.  Students follow with the

    creation of similar records via elaborate written exercises.  The created database is then

    checked via the Validation routines in the engineering program. Error messages are interpreted

    and errors corrected.

    The validated database is then compiled and checked via the Generation Utility of the

    engineering program.  Generation error messages are interpreted and errors corrected.

 

    The compiled database is then used to print database logs and reports.  These reports are

    deciphered and interpreted.  Their extensive nature and unusually comprehensive nature is

    noted strongly.

 

    The generated database is also used to test operations in Debug mode.  This is off-line testing.

   The generated database is then used to create media databases for the downline processors

    and the central processors.                                               

                            The course then goes into media database installation and on-line test and checkout.

                           

                            Finally the entire sequence is done by the students again.  This time the students work

                            independently on a given project.  A successfully working project is a very satisfying and

                            confidence-building experience. 

Objectives          Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:                               

·         Identify Excel Plus Microcentral System Hardware including the Peer Bus and the C-NAP bus
