6.3.1. Selecting the appropriate measuring transducer
How to select the appropriate measuring transducer can be found in "2. Versions" or
"8. Order Key". The measured value must always be borne in mind:
0...0.2 A to 0...11 A (MCR-S-1-5-...) or 0...9.5 A to 0...55 A (MCR-S-10-50-...).
If in doubt, always choose the largest possible measuring range.
There is also one version with relay and transistor output for each module type
(MCR-S-...-SW-DCI).
6.3.2. Configuring or programming
The advantage of the MCR-S-...-DCI generation is that one has the choice between
configuring and programming. Using the MCR-PI-CONF-WIN software, the user has the
possibility of freely programming the true r.m.s. value current transducer.
Programming is described in the software manual. The convenient configuration software
runs under all common windows operating systems.
In addition to the programming, modules can be parameterized using DIP switches and
potentiometers.
In the rest of this chapter, the configuration is explained:
6.3.3. Opening the device
Using a screwdriver, the snap lock of the
upper part of the housing is unlocked on both
sides. The upper part of the housing and the
electronics can now be pulled out by approx.
3 cm.

6.3.6. Configuring the threshold value output
The relay and transistor output of the threshold value versions (MCR-S-...-SW-DCI) are
set after the input measuring range and the analog output have been adjusted.
Setting the switching threshold:
The illustration opposite (Fig. 4, p. 27) shows the four possibilities of switching behavior
of the relay and transistor output. The splitting of the various operational behaviors in
threshold value operation is carried out on the principle of operating current or quiescent
current and after threshold value triggering when below the threshold value point or when
it is exceeded.
If necessary, the corresponding switching behaviour can be set via DIP switch 7 and DIP
switch 8.

6.3.4. Configuring the input current range and measuring method
(Rough setting via DIP switch)
You have the choice: True r.m.s. value or arithmetic average!
The measuring principle must be preset with DIP switch 9:
Measuring principle
True r.m.s. value
Arithmetic average
True r.m.s. value: The true r.m.s. value of an AC current corresponds by definition to the
permanent value resulting from the momentary values of the current. This permanent
value generates the same heat in an ohmic resistor as a DC current of the same strength.
True r.m.s. value simply indicates that distorted and pulsating currents are also measured.
Arithmetic average: The arithmetic average serves to measure DC currents or filter a DC
portion from a pulsating current. Using the arithmetic average on a symmetrical AC
current would result in a measured value with the value "0".
The arithmetic average makes it possible to make bipolar DC currents available as analog
standard signals at the output.
