SDM-CD8S 8 Channel Solid State DC Control Module

1. Function

FIGURE 1. SDM-CD8S face panel
The SDM-CD8S has 8 DC voltage outputs and returns that can be switched on and off manually or under datalogger control. The “switch” is in the power return. The power Input (6-26 VDC) powers both the outputs and the SDM­CD8 logic. LEDs allow a visual indicator of active outputs.
The outputs can be controlled by a datalogger or controlled manually with an override switch and individual rocker switches for each of the outputs.
When the manual control switch is in the ON position, outputs are controlled by the position of the individual rocker switches. In the OFF position the state of the relays is controlled by the SDM commands from the datalogger.
1
SDM-CD8S 8 Channel Solid State DC Control Module
The SDM-CD8S is a synchronously addressed datalogger peripheral. Datalogger control ports 1, 2, and 3 are used to address the SDM-CD8S, then clock out the desired state of each of the 8 control ports. Up to 15 SDM­CD8Ss may be addressed, making it possible to control a maximum of 120 ports from the datalogger’s first three control ports. The SDMCD16AC instruction is used to control the SDM-CD8S in CRBasic dataloggers. In Edlog dataloggers that support SDM-CD16 devices, I/O Instruction 104 is used (some old CR7s may use Instruction 29).
In addition to SDM control, the SDM-CD8S has the option of being operated in a shift register mode. To operate in the shift register mode the address switch is set to 15.
NOTE
Ensure that the datalogger contains the appropriate instruction and test your datalogger program before going in the field.

3. Power Considerations

The SDM-CD8S power requirements may be large compared to most Campbell Scientific products. For most applications, an external power supply (see Figure 2) is recommended to power the SDM-CD8S.
For some applications, it may be convenient to use the datalogger supply to power the SDM-CD8S (see Figure 2). For long-term applications, the lead acid power supply available with our dataloggers should be used, allowing the batteries to be float charged. It is not recommended that the datalogger alkaline supply be used to power the SDM-CD8S for long-term applications.

4. Installation

CAUTION
SDM-CD8S 8 Channel Solid State DC Control Module
If the datalogger lead acid supply is used, the current available from the wall charger limits the continuous output current.
If the 21X power supply is used to power the SDM-CD8S Load Power, all low level analog measurements (thermocouples, pyranometers, thermopiles, etc.) must be made differentially. This is a result of slight ground potentials created along the 21X analog terminal strip when the 12 V supply is used to power peripherals. This limitation reduces the number of available analog input channels and may mandate an external supply for the SDM-CD8S.
The SDM-CD8S must be installed in an enclosure that provides a
pollution degree 2 environment (normally, only nonconductive pollution. However, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may be expected). All Campbell Scientific enclosures meet this requirement.
Use copper conductors only.
Cables connecting the terminals of the datalogger and SDM device should be kept as short as possible to minimize the risk of corruption of the signals and damage from induced surges. Where long cable runs (>3 m) are unavoidable and the cables run outside, some extra protection may be required for the SDM control terminals. Please contact Campbell Scientific for further advice. When connecting wires to the SDM signal terminals, please ensure they are at ground potential before making the connection, e.g. by touching them to the earth terminal.
For datalogger connections, see Table 1.
Multiple SDM-CD8Ss may be wired in parallel by connecting the datalogger side of one SDM-CD8S to the next. In most installations the total length of the cables connecting the SDM-CD8S and other SDM peripherals should not exceed 20 feet.
Total cable lengths in excess of 20 feet may adversely influence communication performance. (For CR7 dataloggers, the total cable length should not exceed 600 feet.)

6. Datalogger Instructions

6.1 CRBasic Dataloggers (CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000, CR5000, CR9000(X))

The SDMCD16AC instruction is used to control the SDM-CD8S and all versions of the SDM-CD16.
SDMCD16AC (Source, Reps, SDMAddress)
Remarks
A port on an SDM-CD8S is enabled/disabled (turned on or off) by sending a value to it using the SDMCD16AC instruction. A non-zero value will enable the port; a zero value disables it. The 16 values to be sent are held in the Source array or long integer. The SDM-CD8S only uses the first 8 values to set its 8 ports.
The SDMCD16AC instruction has the following parameters:
Source The Source parameter is an array (dimensioned as Float,
Long, or Boolean) or a single long integer which holds the values that will be sent to the SDM-CD8S to enable/disable its ports. An SDM-CD8S has 8 ports; therefore, in most instances the source array should be dimensioned to 8 times the number of Repetitions (the number of SDM-CD8S devices to be controlled). As an example, with the array CDCtrl(16), the value held in CDCtrl(1) will be sent to port 1, the value held in CDCtrl(2) will be sent to port 2, etc. The value held in CDCtrl(32) would be sent to port 8 on the second SDM-CD8S.
If the Source parameter is defined as a Long variable, but it is dimensioned less than 16 * Reps, Source will act as a binary control for the instruction whose bits 0..15 will specify control ports 1..16, respectively. In this instance, Source(1) will be used for the first rep, Source(2) will be used for the second, and so on. The SDM-CD8S only responds to the first 8 bits sent.
6
Reps The Reps parameter is the number of SDM-CD8S devices
that will be controlled with this instruction.
SDMAddress The SDMAddress parameter is used to define the address of
the SDM-CD8S that will be controlled with this instruction. Valid SDM addresses are 0 through 14. Address 15 is reserved for the SDMTrigger instruction. If the Reps parameter is greater than 1, the datalogger will increment the SDM address for each subsequent device that it communicates with.
SDM-CD8S 8 Channel Solid State DC Control Module
NOTE
CRBasic dataloggers use base 10 when addressing SDM devices. Edlog programmed dataloggers (e.g., CR10X, CR23X) used base 4 for addressing (Table 2).
CRBasic dataloggers also have the TimedControl instruction which allows a timed sequence of settings to be managed by the measurement task avoiding possible processing delays to cause delayed switching (pipeline mode only). See an example in Section 8.4.
6.2 Datalogger Instructions 104 (CR10/10X, CR23X, 21X, CR7)
and 29 (older CR7s)
The CR10/10X, CR23X, CR7 and 21X use instruction 104 to control the SDM-CD8S. Instruction 29 is used by older CR7s. The Instruction descriptions are shown below.
Instruction 104 – SDM-CD8S used with CR10/10X, CR23X,
CR7and 21X dataloggers
Parameter Type Description
1 2 Reps (No. of modules sequentially addressed) 2 2 Starting Address (base 4: 00..33) 3 4 Starting Input Location
Execution Time = 2ms per Rep for the CR10/10X and CR23X
3.5ms per Rep for the 21X and CR7
Instruction 29 – SDM-CD8S used with older CR7s
Parameter Type Description
1 2 Reps (No. of modules sequentially addressed) 2 2 Device (2 = SDM-CD8S) 3 2 Starting Address (base 4: 00..33) 4 2 Card (Excitation card No.) 5 4 Starting Input Location
Execution Time = 150ms to 190ms per Rep
The number of SDM-CD8Ss to be addressed is defined by the Reps (repetitions) parameter. Each Rep sequentially addresses (00, 01, 02,...32, 33) SDM-CD8Ss, starting with the address specified in parameter 2 (parameter 3 for Instruction 29).
For each repetition, the 8 ports of the addressed SDM-CD8S are set according to 16 sequential input locations starting at the input location specified in parameter 3 (parameter 5 for Instruction 29). Any non-zero value stored in an input location activates (sets HI 5V) the associated SDM-CD8S port. A value of zero (0) de-activates the port (sets LO 0V). For example, assuming two repetitions and a starting input location of 33, outputs 1 to 16 of the first SDM­CD8S are set according to input locations 33 to 48, and outputs 1 to 16 of the second SDM-CD8S are set according to input locations 49 to 64.
7
SDM-CD8S 8 Channel Solid State DC Control Module
For older CR7s with Instruction 29, the Device (parameter 2) specifies what type of synchronously addressed peripheral is to be addressed. The Device code for an SDM-CD8S is 2.
For Instruction 29 only (older CR7s), the Card parameter (parameter 4) specifies which 725 Excitation Card is being used for the control port signals. The Reps parameter does not advance beyond the specified Card, requiring another Instruction 29 for each 725 Excitation Card used.

7. Theory of Operation

The SDM-CD8S is a synchronously addressed peripheral. C2 and C3, driven high by the datalogger, initiate a cycle. While holding C3 high, the datalogger drives C2 as a clock line and C1 as a serial data line. The datalogger shifts out a data bit on C1 (LSB first) on the falling edge of the C2 clock. The SDM­CD8S shifts in the C1 data bit on the rising edge of the C2 clock.
The first 8 bits clocked out represent the SDM-CD8S address. If the address matches the SDM-CD8S's address, the SDM-CD8S is enabled. If enabled, the next 16 bits are shifted into the SDM-CD8S, each bit controlling one port, the first of which controls OUT 1. (Only the first 8 bits are used by the SDM­CD8S.)
When the 16 control bits are clocked in, C2 is held high while C3 is pulsed low then high to latch the control bits. The datalogger then lowers both C3 and C2 to complete the cycle.

8. Program Examples

8.1 Control Temperature and Fans – CR1000

In this example, the SDM-CD8S is used to control the temperature between 23° and 28°C in 2 greenhouses. In each greenhouse the SDM-CD8S controls a heating unit, a refrigerating unit, and an air-mixing fan according to the following conditions.
Heating unit: Activate when temperature < 23.5°C. Deactivate when temperature > 25.5°C
Cooling unit: Activate when temperature > 27.5°C. Deactivate when temperature < 24.5°C
Mixing fan: Activate whenever the heating or cooling units are activated. Activate for 5 minutes out of every 15 minutes.
The program assumes the temperature measurements have been made, and the average temperature for each greenhouse is computed and residing in the appropriate variable

8.3 Control Gas Sampling Based on Time – CR1000

The SDM-CD8S is ideal for controlling low power DC operated solenoid valves such as might be used to control a manifold as part of a gas sampling system. This example shows one way to do that.
8.3.1 Terminology
Site: A site may be the physical site where the air is sampled (i.e. intake or chamber) or a connection to a calibration gas. Each site has a unique SDMCD8S/valve setting that configures the manifold to connect gas from that site to the sample path of the gas analyzer. There are 8 connections to the “site selection” manifold. The numbers 1 through 8 identify the sites. The site numbers are the same as the number of the intake on the manifold and the number of the SDMCD8S relay controlling that valve. Sites 1 – 6 are connected to sample intakes to measure a atmospheric profile and sites 7 and 8 are used for calibration gases.
Site Sequence: The sequence in which the sites are measured is determined by the SiteSequence array. The sites are measured in the sequence that the site numbers are entered in this array, not necessarily in order of site number.
The SiteSequence array also allows a site to be measured multiple times within the sequence. For some measurements it is necessary to measure calibration gases frequently (e.g., the concentration of various isotopes of CO gas analyzer.)

SDM-CD8S 8 Channel Solid State DC Control Module
The sequence in the example, with the six sample intakes and two calibration gases, is to measure 3 sample intakes, measure the zero and span, measure the other 3 intakes, and again measure the zero and span. There are 10 sites in the sequence. (The SiteSequence array is dimensioned to 10 elements.) The sequence is 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Thirty seconds is spent on each site the sequence. Thus it takes 5 minutes to run through the sequence of 10 sites (10 sites x 30 seconds/site). This sequence is repeated again and again.
OmitCounts: When the manifold is switched to a new site, it is necessary to purge the line before the analyzer measurement represents the new site. The program includes a counter that is incremented by one each scan. The omit counts is number of measurements to exclude from an average for the site after switching to the site.
The program records averages for each time the manifold is set to a site. The average does not include values measured while the count is less that the omit count. The count is reset to 0 when the program switches to a new site. In this program there is a constant omitcounts that is used for all sites. If it was necessary to set the Omit Counts independently for each site, OmitCounts could be a variable array instead of a constant.
8.3.2 Data Tables
There are two data tables, RawData and SiteAvg. RawData holds samples of every measurement. SiteAvg holds averages that are calculated for a site when the manifold is switched to the next site.
8.3.3 Initialization Section (between BeginProg and Scan)
Manifold/SDMCD8S Settings: This section defines the bit pattern for each valve setting.
Site Sequence: Edit the SiteSequence array assignment for the sequence desired. For example, the 10 element SiteSequence array described in the Terminology section above can be loaded with the code:
'Load SiteSequence
SiteSequence(1) = 1 SiteSequence(2) = 2 SiteSequence(3) = 3 SiteSequence(4) = 7 SiteSequence(5) = 8 SiteSequence(6) = 4 SiteSequence(7) = 5 SiteSequence(8) = 6 SiteSequence(9) = 7 SiteSequence(10) = 8

8.4 Control Gas Sampling with Timing in Measurement Task –
CR1000
8.4.1 The Purpose of this Example
This example illustrates an instruction that can be used if:
1) There is a requirement for precisely timed switching in a known timing sequence.
2) The time required in the datalogger program for processing tasks is close to the scan interval.
If the processing occasionally takes longer than the scan interval, there could be skipped measurements (sequential mode) or the measurements could be made but the switching would take place later than expected (pipeline mode).
This program has the same timing and valve control as the example in Section
8.2, however, instead of the logic in the program determining when to switch the valves, it makes use of the TimedControl instruction to control when valves switch as part of the measurement task (pipeline mode only).
8.4.2 Pipeline vs Sequential
The Pipeline mode is more efficient than the Sequential mode. In the Sequential mode, all processing is completed before advancing to the next instruction. The Pipeline mode separates the measurement and processing tasks. Not only does this separation of tasks allow the datalogger to complete both tasks in less time than the sequential mode, it allows the processing task to briefly fall behind the measurement task without skipping any measurements.
In the pipeline mode the results of the measurement task are stored in a buffer for the processing task. The processing task starts after the first measurement task is complete and can take place at the same time as the next measurement task. If the processing task has something that temporarily prevents it from finishing before the next measurement scan is complete, it can fall behind the measurement scan. Later when the processing is less intensive, the processing can run faster than the measurements and process the buffered measurement data and catch up to the measurement scan. Operations that may temporarily increase the processing are intensive calculations for final output processing, extra communications overhead, or initializing a new compact flash card.
19
SDM-CD8S 8 Channel Solid State DC Control Module
In the example in Section 8.3, the logic that controls the SDM-CD8S is in the processing task. In the pipeline mode the measurements continue to occur at the proper time. If the processing falls behind the measurement the values used to set the SDM-CD8S will be updated only when the processing task gets to that point. This will be later than would be expected if the processing task were not falling behind.
The TimedControl instruction allows the timing of when to switch SDMCD16 settings to be part of the measurement task rather than the processing task.
8.4.3 TimedControl Instruction
TimedControl: This instruction allows a sequence of fixed values and durations (number of scans) to be controlled by the measurement task. It allows a series of SDM-CD16 settings to be defined so that the switching sequence occurs at the proper times even if processing is lagging behind the measurement task.
TimedControl(Size,Sync_interval, Interval_Units,Default_Value, Index_dest,
Source_Array, ClockResetOpt)
Size: The number of values in the sequence.
Sync_interval: When the program is compiled and starts running or when the
TimedControl is reset the program will wait until an even multiple of this interval to start the sequence. Enter 0 to start immediately. See Clock/Reset Option for more information on what happens prior to the start.
Interval_Units: The time units for the Sync_Interval.
Default_Value: The value to set the output to prior to starting the sequence.
Index_dest: A variable in which to store the index of the value that is
currently being used in the source_array. This instruction will load 0 for the index if the instruction is waiting for the Sync_interval to start.
Source_Array: A two dimension array that contains the values to use and the duration (in number of scans) for which that value is to remain in use. For Example, arrayname(x,2) where the array must be dimensioned to have at least as many variables in the x dimension as the Size parameter requires. For any variable pair i, arrayname(i,1) = the value to set, and arrayname(i,2) = the duration in number of scans to use that value before moving to the next value in the array.
ClockResetOpt: When the TimedControl instruction occurs before BeginProg this option is used to set how the instruction behaves when the
dataloggers clock is changed:
20
1. If the datalogger clock is changed, the instruction behaves as if it were just
started after compile and the input to the SDMCD16 goes to the default.
SDM-CD8S 8 Channel Solid State DC Control Module
2. The sequence continues running as if nothing happened until the next
occurrence of the sync interval (synced to the current clock) and then restarts.
3. Ignore the change in the clock, keep the current count and index
proceeding as if nothing happened.
When the TimedControl instruction is used within the program (i.e, after BeginProg) to reset or change the sequence this option is used to set what happens between the time the instruction is executed and the sync interval occurs. Only option codes 1 and 2 are valid:
1. The instruction behaves as if it were just started after compile and the
input to the SDMCD16 goes to the default value.
2. The sequence continues running as if nothing happened until the next
occurrence of the sync interval and then restarts.
