Communications
Extensive communication options enable the CMF160 to be
integrated into larger control systems easily or connected to
other process instrumentation.
Ethernet
Optional Ethernet communications enable ControlMaster to be
integrated in to an Ethernet network quickly. The following
functionality is provided:
— Email
Notification of a critical process event or status can be made
by email. Multiple events can trigger an email that can be
sent to multiple recipients
— Webserver
The CMF's integrated webserver enables the current status
of the process and indicator to be viewed remotely using a
standard web browser
— MODBUS TCP
Process values and status can be communicated to, and
from, the CMF160 in real-time using MODBUS TCP,
enabling it to be integrated easily into larger control systems
or connected to a data recorder

RS 485 MODBUS
Using RS 485 MODBUS, values and status can be
communicated to, and from, the indicator in real-time via
an RS 485 connection.
PC Configuration Backup
Once configured using the intuitive on-screen configuration
menus, a CMF160s configuration can then be backed up to
a PC using an infrared connection. In addition to being
saved for future use, configurations backed up to a PC can
be downloaded to other CMF160 indicators.
