2 Device versions

The DSL is a speed switc h that is integrated into an incremental en coder. At the time of writing (edition:
March 2009) it is supplied in two versions:

Version 1: DSL.R suitable for operation with the external relay module DS 93 R.

• Version with 3 switched outputs that can be swit ched according to the speed. If the device is at
standstill or the rotational speed n is less than the switching speed n
switched output will be high. If n ≥ n

then it will be low.

s(on)

• If an internal error occurs (for instance, dirt on the disk, so that the counted pulse rate is incorrect )
then the outputs will switch to low.

Version 2: DSL.E with three internal electronic relays.

• Integrated current monitoring for each relay: This checks whether, when the relay is closed, a current
of at least 5 mA flows through the switched circui t.

• Two relay outputs (R1, R2) are switched according to the speed. If the device is at standstill or n <

then the corresponding relay is closed. If n ≥ n

n

s(off)

then it will be open.

s(on)

then the corresponding

s(off)

• The third relay output (C1) is a check output. If no current flows through at least one of the switched
circuits of the relay outputs (R1, R2), although the relay is closed, then the check output (C1) will be
opened.

• If no current flows through the switched circuit of t he check relay (C1), although the relay is closed,
then R1 and R2 will be opened.

• If an internal error occurs (for instance, dirt on the disk, so that the counted pulse rate is incorrect )
then all relays will be opened

3 System requirements

PC with - operating system Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000 or X P

- USB connection

- at least 64 MB RAM

- at least 30 MB available on the hard disk.
The DSL is fitted with an RS 485 interface. Data exchange with the PC requires an RS 485 converter (“USB

to RS 485” or “RS 232 to RS 485”). A “USB to RS 485” converter can be obtained from Baumer Hübner
GmbH (Order code: USB 485-Converter).

4 Installation

After inserting the CD in the drive, use Explorer to go to the \DSL\Installer\ directory and start setup.exe.
This will install the program and the runtime library. The installation language is only available in english.

After starting the setup p rogram, the following screens will appear (Figs. 1 and 2):

Fig. 1 Installation Fig. 2 Installation

It is recommended that you keep to the default installation path.
When installation has been complete d successfully, a corresponding message will appear (Fig. 3).

5 First program start

Before the program start the RS485-Converter has to be connected otherwise the serial interface
used by the converter will not appear in the overview of all usable serial interfaces.

The first time the program is started, a selection screen will appear where you can choose the language for
the user interface and the system interface (Fi g. 4). The software version of t he user interface is displayed in
the header of this window.

You can use Close program to terminate the software at any time. Parameter changes that have not been
saved will be lost.

5.1 Language setting

Fig. 4 Start screen

Clicking on the national flag will call up a select i on of languages that have been implemented for t he user
interface. The required language can be selected by clicking on t he appropriate national flag.
