Metering, Monitoring and Diagnosis

• Rapid, comprehensive diagnostics and operating status information is available on the UMC100.3 itself (LEDs), on the LCD panel
(clear text messages), via fieldbus or on a laptop connected directly or via fieldbus to the UMC.
• The fully graphic, multi-language LCD panel allows configuration, control and monitoring of the UMC and its inputs and outputs.
• Available diagnosis includes motor, bus and device status, maintenance counters such as number of starts and overload releases,
remaining cooling time, etc.

Function Block Programming

• The UMC100.3 has a set of predefined applications built in. These applications are built on the basis of function blocks and can
be used directly without the need for a programming tool.
• Custom applications can be created in a convenient way. The custom application editor is integrated in the configuration tool.
• You can monitor an application online to support you during development and testing.
• Control and protection related and general purpose function blocks are available: boolean logic, timers, counters, blocks
representing the hardware, starter functions,
• There are basic function blocks like boolean blocks that have no parameters. But there are also very powerful function blocks
such as the multifunction inputs or the starter blocks. Such blocks have parameters accessible via LCD operator panel and field-
bus. By setting the block parameters you can adjust the behaviour of the blocks and the application to your needs.
Please note:
It is not necessary to change the function block application if the predefined applications fulfill your requirements.
But if you have specific requirements you can enable the customer application mode and adapt an existing appli-
cation to your needs or even create your own one.
This is described in the custom application editor manual (see section 'How to get started').

Compatibility to previous versions of UMC100.3

Hardware
The UMC100.3 is mechanically very similar to the previous UMC100 and UMC22. The new UMC100.3 is a little bit deeper to offer
enough space for the AC power supply. Also the location of some connectors has changed slightly. See technical data for details.
Fieldbus Interface
The UMC100.3 and the new communication interfaces do not use M12 connectors anymore. So it is not possible to plug-on a Field-
busPlug with M12 connector directly on the UMC anymore. But electrically the interface is still the same. So replacement of single
components is possible.
System Integration
UMC100.3 is backwards compatible regarding the cyclic IO data and parameters. An existing FieldbusPlug or UMC can be replaced
with a new component without any change in the control system. If new features of UMC100.3 should be used a new device
description file (e.g. GSD) must be used of course.
Other UMC100.3 versions
This manual describes UMC100.3. There are also other versions available:
• UMC100.3 ATEX
• UMC100.3 ATEX and conformal coating
Please refer to manual 2CDC135033D02xx for those versions.
