1 Introduction 1.3 Typographical conventions 1.3.
1 Introduction 1.3.3 Representation modes Keys h+E Keys are shown in a box. Both symbols and text are possible. If a key has a multiple function, then the text shown is the one that corresponds to the function that is active at the moment. Screen texts Program Manager Texts that are displayed in the setup program are indicated by italic script. Menu items Edit Device data 10 Menu items in the setup program which are referred to in this manual are shown in italics.
2 Device description 2.1 Displays and controls Color display 320 x 240 pixels, 27 colors Menu-dependent function keys (softkeys) screen-dependent functions, represented by text or symbols Status LED (red) is on continuously while an alarm is present Power LED (green) This is lit continuously as soon as power is applied. It blinks when the screen saver is active.
2 Device description Opening and closing the door of the instrument Header Status line To open or close the door of the instrument, turn the knob 2.2 Operating principle and graphic elements Keys The recorder is operated from eight keys. Three of these keys have fixed functions, the other five (softkeys) have menu-dependent functions. v Chapter 2.1 “Displays and controls” Softkeys 12 The functions of the softkeys appear in the bottom line of the display, as symbols or in plain text.
2 Device description Status line The status line is shown in the top section of the display. It provides information on important actions and states. The status line is always visible, irrespective of the level (operation, parameters, configuration). Alarm If an alarm occurs (e.g. out-of-limit), the bell (alarm) will flash in this field. CF card / internal memory Shows the free storage of the CompactFlash card or the internal memory, as a percentage.
2 Device description Channel line (channel representation) The channel line shows the measurements of the active channels and their unit as - a measurement - scale or - bar graph. Alternatively, the header can be switched off altogether. In addition, alarms and out-of-limit conditions are made directly visible, depending on the display mode. Example: Measurement (small meas.) Numerical display The measurements are shown in numerical form.
2 Device description 2.
2 Device description Representation Representation on the screen is as follows: Representation as symbol On/off represented as switch: as diagram Representation as a record over time: Outputs The digital signals can be used to operate three relays (extra code). The action can be configured as a break (SPST-NC) or make (SPST-NO) contact (Configuration ➔ Outputs). External texts External texts can be called up via four binary inputs or the logic channels.
2 Device description Counters Counter inputs Any of the digital signals can be used as input signals for the counters. v Chapter 2.4 “Digital signals (event traces)” Example: - binary inputs - logic channels - alarms - memory alarms - Modbus flag (signal via interface) Counter frequency 30Hz max. Evaluation The count pulses can be evaluated (weighted). A down counter can be implemented by entering a negative weighting (e.g. weighting factor -1).
2 Device description Operating time counter The operating time counter will count how long a selected binary input or one of the digital signals is closed (set). The time can be displayed in sec, min, hr or days. 2.5.1 Reporting period of the counts After an adjustable time (reporting period), the counts are stored for all counters/integrators/operating time counters. The counts for the current and the previous 7 completed reporting periods will be displayed.
2 Device description External reset You can configure one control signal for all 6 counters/integrators together, with the result that the counters/integrators are reset to 0 without any saving of the previous values. The period for the counter/integrator summation will be restarted at this point. This means that after the test run of an installation, for instance, the recording can be freshly started; the test run values that are not required are eliminated.
2 Device description 2.5.4 Response at end of summer time A If a period of less than one hour has been set for counters/ integrators, and the change from summer time to winter time falls precisely within this period, then the PC evaluation software (PCA3000) will forcibly set the end time to be the same as the start time. This prevents a negative period arising, and ensures that further processing is error-free. 2.6 Math/logic module The math and logic module is available as an extra code.
2 Device description The following variables are used for the formulae: - analog inputs (AE1 — AE6) - math channels (MAT1 — MAT6) - counter/integrator channels (ZI1 — ZI6) - binary inputs (BE1 — BE4) - alarms - errors - Modbus flag (signal via interface) - instrument-specific data (only after consultation with the manufacturer) If counter/integrator values are used for calculation, then please note that their accuracy is reduced, since, in this case, two different data formats have to be used for calculatio
2 Device description Logic module You also have up to 6 channels available as logic channels. As is the case with all the other digital signals, the calculated digital (Boolean) values can be used for different functions: - recording in the event traces, as a control signal for display switch-off, clock time synchronization, operating time counter, externally controlled counters / integrators counter/integr. reset event operation and key inhibit, for output to a relay and as count input for a counter.
2 Device description 2.7 Operating modes 3 operating modes The instrument has 3 operating modes: - normal operation - timed operation - event operation The following settings can, among others, be made for each of the three operating modes: - stored value - storage cycle Stored value The stored value setting determines what is stored: average, minimum, maximum or momentary value between two storage cycles, or the peak value (envelope).
2 Device description 2.8 Storing data Life-cycle data management The integrated life-cycle data management puts users in the position of being able to save all the process data from the system that is being monitored in an archive file on their PCs or a server system.
2 Device description Operating principle The measurements from the analog inputs are acquired continuously in a 250msec sampling cycle, and then stored in the main memory. These measurements also serve as the basis for limit monitoring. Main memory (FLASH memory) The data stored in the main memory are regularly copied to the CompactFlash card in 4 kbyte blocks. The main memory is written to as a ring memory, i.e. when it is full, the oldest data will automatically be overwritten by new data.
2 Device description Recording duration The recording duration depends on various factors: - number of analog channels and event traces being recorded - storage cycle - number of events in the event list. Internal recording duration (without external CF card) Number of channels Memory size Storage cycle 1 min Storage cycle 30 sec Storage cycle 10 sec Storage cycle 1 sec 3 approx. 1MB 42.2 days 21.1 days 7 days 17 hours 6 approx. 1MB 29.5 days 14.8 days 4.
2 Device description 2.9 Read-out of data In addition to automatic read-out via the external CompactFlash memory card, measurement data can also be read out through one of the interfaces (RS232, RS485, setup, Ethernet). Both read-out options (card/interface) work in parallel. For this reason, there are also two “digital signals”, which indicate when the available storage space has fallen below a certain configurable value.
2 Device description 2.11 Webserver Event traces Counters / integrators Analog channels Device name If the paperless recorder is equipped with the extra code “Ethernet interface”, and the device-internal Ethernet software (“Ethernet version“) has the number 183.02.03 or higher, then the paperless recorder has an inbuilt webserver. The webserver can be started by entering the IP address in an Internet browser on the PC (e.g. http://10.10.90.45).
