 NGC-30 Panel with NGC-UIT2 Connected to an NGC-30 Panel without NGC-UIT2
This wiring is used when a single UIT2 in one panel is the central point for multiple
NGC-30 panels. Because the NGC-UIT2 can handle up to 260 heat tracing circuits, it can be
cost effective to use one NGC-UIT2 for multiple panels. An RS-485 connection must be made
from the panel that has the NGC-UIT2 (panel #1) installed to the NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS board
in NGC-30 (panel #2) that does not have the NGC-UIT2 installed (see Fig. 2.10). To make this
connection, a pre-wired terminal block has been provided in the panel #1 and in panel #2.
Connect the RS-485 wire from TB* in panel #1 and the other end to TB* in panel #2 maintaining
the correct polarity. If the NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS is the first or last device in the RS-485 network,
see Fig. 2.9 and Table 3.1 for details on how to terminate the RS-485 network.

 SECTION 3 – RAYCHEM NGC-30 COMPONENTS AND OPERATION
The RAYCHEM NGC-30 heat-trace system is comprised of a number of modular components,
allowing the ultimate in design flexibility. This section describes the NGC-30 control and
monitoring components (excluding the optional distribution section). Appendix B, C, and D
includes the specifications for these components.

3.1 USER INTERFACE TERMINAL (NGC-UIT2)

The NGC-UIT2 is a panel mounted color LCD display with touch-screen overlay. The NGC-UIT2
includes software that interfaces with the Card Rack Modules (NGC-30-CRM and NGC-30-CRMS)
and the Remote Monitoring Module for temperatures (RMM2), Remote Monitoring Module for
Digital Inputs (RMM-DI) and Power Line Carrier Interface (PLI) module.
The NGC-UIT2 is used as a control panel, setup device and user display.

3.1.1 MULTIPLE NGC-UIT2 MODELS

There are two versions of User Interface Terminals (UITs) available as specified in Table 2.1,
“NGC-30 User Interface Terminals (UIT2s),” on page 4. The term “NGC-UIT2” in this document
refers to any of the available NGC-UITs, regardless of which model is actually installed.

Fig. 3.1 Typical NGC-UIT2 model showing NGC-UIT2-ORD-R remote user interface terminal

The physical dimensions of each NGC-UIT2 model vary; the dimensions of the
NGC-UIT2-ORD-R shown in the figure are the largest of all NGC-UITs:
• Width: 15.21” (386 mm)
• Height: 13.21” (336 mm)
• Depth: 7.09” (180 mm)
NGC-UIT2 LCD Touch-Screen Display
The NGC-UIT2-EX and NGC-UIT2-ORD-R have a 7 inch wide x 5 ¼ inch high LCD
(17.5 cm X 13.3 cm) LCD color display. All NGC-UIT2 have touch-screen technology that
provides an user interface easy and efficient programming with no keyboards or cryptic labels.

 3.1.2 NGC-UIT2 LOCAL AND REMOTE NETWORK CONNECTIONS
The NGC-UIT2 communicates to both a local field network and optionally to a remote
monitoring and control network.
Local Field Network Connection
The local field network always uses an RS-485 serial connection running over shielded
twisted-pair cable. This network is used to connect the NGC-UIT2 to its control and monitoring
modules:
• RAYCHEM Mechanical Contactors Controller - NGC-30-CRM
• RAYCHEM Solid State Relay Controller - NGC-30-CRMS
• RAYCHEM Current Transformer Module Controller - NGC-30-CTM
• RAYCHEM Voltage Monitoring Module - NGC-30-CVM
• RAYCHEM Remote Monitoring Module for Temperature Measurement - RMM2
• RAYCHEM Remote Monitoring Module for Digital Inputs - RMM-DI
• RAYCHEM Power Line Carrier Interface Module - PLI
The local field network must follow configuration rules about topology and termination of
network end devices.
Remote Monitoring and Control Network Connection
The remote monitoring and control network communicates via a selectable network
connection port using either RS-485, RS-232, or 10/100Base-T Ethernet. This network is
used to connect to multiple NGC-UIT2 systems and communicate with a central PC running
RAYCHEM Supervisor software. The RAYCHEM Supervisor software provides centralized
status and alarm monitoring, data logging, and remote configuration control over all attached
NGC-UIT2 systems in the network. The remote monitoring and control network must also
follow configuration rules about topology and termination of the network end devices.

 3.2 CARD RACK MODULE (NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS) AND CURRENT TRANSFORMER MODULE (NGC-30-CTM)
Each Card Rack Module (NGC-30-CRM and NGC-30-CRMS) and Current Transformer Module
(NGC-30-CTM) provide ground-fault and line current sensing, alarming, switching, and RTD
input for five Loops. The NGC-30-CRM is used with electromechanical relays. The NGC-30-
CRMS is used with solid-state relays. The NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS may be connected to one
User Interface Terminal (NGC-UIT2).
Each NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS must have a unique communication address. The valid address
switch range for the NGC-UIT2 is 1–99. SW1 is the ones digit (0–9) and SW2 is the tens digit
(0–9). See Fig. 3.6.
IMPORTANT: RMM2s use ModBus addresses 32 through 47 and PLIs use Modbus addresses
1-99. When using RMM2s and PLI modules in an NGC-30 system, care must be taken to not
assign the same addresses to an RMM2, PLI module or an NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS board.

 3.5 REMOTE MONITORING MODULE (RMM2) – OPTIONAL
The RAYCHEM Remote Monitoring Module (RMM2) provides additional temperature
monitoring capabilities. Each RMM2 accepts up to eight RTDs that measure pipe, vessel,
or ambient temperatures. The RMM2 can be installed in the RAYCHEM NGC-30 enclosure or
can be located in the field to reduce RTD field wiring.The RAYCHEM NGC-30 system supports
260 temperature inputs via the CRM/CRMs boards. Sixteen (16) RMM2s can be connected
via a single, twisted pair RS-485 cable to provide up to 128 additional RTD inputs into the
RAYCHEM NGC-30 system.

Fig. 3.8 RMM2 module

Set the RS-485 address for the RMM2 using the rotary switch provided. Note the orientation of
the clear plastic cover, then remove the cover. Use a slotted screwdriver to rotate the selector
switches to the appropriate positions to select the RS-485 address. The single character visible
on the switch indicates the RS-485 address assigned.

 3.6 POWER LINE CARRIER INTERFACE MODULE (PLI) – OPTIONAL
RAYCHEM PLI modules (Power Line Carrier Interface) together with RAYCHEM temperature
transmitters provide remote temperature-monitoring capability for heat-tracing control and
monitoring systems by communicating the temperature data to the control system over the
heat-tracing bus wires and the AC power line, eliminating the need for RTD wiring. Typical
savings on the installation costs of a heat-tracing system can be as much as 30% with PLI
technology, depending on the specifics of each application.
The PLI module typically resides in the NGC-30 panel and receives input from special
transmitters connected to the heat-tracing. The transmitters provide pipe temperatures from
RTDs and continuity confirmation; they are typically located at the front and/or end of the
heat-tracing circuit. The PLI special transmitters are: RAYCHEM SES (Smart End Seal),
RAYCHEM SPC (Smart Power Connection) and RAYCHEM 700-TT.
The NGC-30 system can accept up to 127 temperature inputs from SES/SPC transmitters or
255 temperature inputs from 700-TT transmitters, per PLI module. Up to four PLI modules can
be connected to one NGC-30 UIT2.

Fig. 3.10 PLI module

Set the RS-485 address for the PLI module using the rotary switches provided. Note the
orientation of the clear plastic cover, then remove the cover. Use a slotted screwdriver to rotate
the selector switches to the appropriate positions to select the RS-485 address. Each PLI
module must have a unique address, if two PLI modules, CRM or RMM are assigned the same
address, communication faults will result. The PLI module switch setting can be set from 1-99.
