CARE operates in a Microsoft Windows environment and uses an object-oriented graphic format that does not require prior programming knowledge. Standard application elements for common applications are predefined and ready for use. Non-standard applications can be programmed by selecting the appropriate inputs and outputs. CARE provides a library of energy management functions and control operators. Excel 100B universal inputs and outputs support a variety of configurations.
Universal inputs support local analog and digital point processing.
The Excel 100B digital inputs can process dc or ac voltages and can be used for totalizer or counter functions. Universal outputs primarily support analog signals, but with the addition of a relay module they can also support digital outputs. The optional Excel XI582AH Operator Terminal complements local Excel 100B Controller operation. An Excel Building Supervisor PC workstation provides a zero engineering, text-based operator interface or an optional graphic operator interface with coloration and animation techniques. Each controller can save up to 200 trend values.
