4.2 - How to remove the input module

A If the meter is already installed, remove it from the panel, and unplug all plugs

from the back of the unit.

B Using a small screwdriver or similar implement,

press downward into one of the slots at the

rear of the case. This will disengage one of

the tabs which holds the back plate on, al-

lowing it to be gently levered away at

one corner.

C Holding the loosened corner open

with one hand, disengage the le-

ver on the opposite slot (Fig 1).

D You should now be able to remove the back plate. If it does not unclip easily,

you may need to disengage the two remaining tabs by repeating steps 4.2B–C

on the other side of the meter.

Fig 1

E Slide the analog input module out

of the meter case (Fig 2). (See 3.1D

to identify the input module.)

F Position the headers on the input

module as required for your sensor

type, referring to 4.1.

G Slide the input module back into

Fig 2

the meter case.

Make sure that it is sitting in the tracks on the le and right. Press rmly until the input module is fully inserted and sits ush with the other boards that are visible from the back of the meter.

H Replace the back plate.

Begin by inserting the two lower tabs into the slots, and then position the upper tabs so that they will not catch on the top lip of the meter case. Apply rm pressure until the back plate clicks into place.

I Reconnect the plugs and return the meter to the panel installation.

FEATURES

7.1 - Batching feature

The PRO–CTR has a Batching function, which is used to maintain the total count,

as well as the current Batch Value. The Batch Value is calculated using the following

formula:

Batch Value = Primary Count – Batch Tare

The Batch Tare value is reset to the Primary Count value via the setpoint reset func- tion RST BT, which can be executed by setpoint logic (see 9.2M) or manually by

activating an appropriately congured user input pin (see 3.6 & 8.5). (Batch Tare is a

hidden register used only for this calculation.)

The controller also includes a Batch Counter function associated with SP 1. The 'Batch

Count Modier' value (see 9.2P) is added to the Batch Count register each time SP 1 activates, allowing the user to count how many completed batches have been

processed.

Setup menu display note:

If you are using a single display (PRO-CTR100), the menu title or text prompt will scroll across the display, and toggle with the currently selected option. If you are using a dual display (PRO-CTR200), the menu title or text prompt will scroll across the bottom row, and the currently selected option will appear in the top row.

INPUT SETUP & CALIBRATION

8.1 - Enter CAL PIN number

A Enter the calibration mode by pressing the button.

_ _ _ ENTER CAL PIN NUMBER scrolls across the display, and 0 appears. Use the

and buttons to enter your security code (factory default 1). Then press

. If the correct PIN is entered, setup is started at 8.2.

If an incorrect PIN number is entered, _ _ _ INCORRECT PIN NUMBER – ACCESS DENIED scrolls across the display, and it returns to normal operating mode.

You will have the opportunity to change your PIN number at the end of this section (8.8). If you have forgotten your PIN number, see Section 11.

8.2 - Counter setup

There are 3 counter inputs available on the input module:

› Count A input (drives the primary counter) › Count B input › Count C input

When the primary counter mode is set to AB IND (A & B independent) the A input

drives the primary counter and the B input drives the secondary counter. In other

count modes, the A and B inputs are both used to drive the primary counter, so the B counter options are not available. IT IS THEREFORE ADVISABLE TO SET UP THE

PRIMARY COUNT MODE FIRST.

A _ _ _ COUNTER SETUP scrolls across the display, and SKIP appears. Press to

skip to 8.3, or use the and buttons to select: PRM CT (primary counter), B INPT (B input) or C INPT (C input), and then press to enter setup for the

selected counter.

¨ If you selected PRM CT or C INPT, continue to 8.2B now. ¨ If you selected B INPT, skip to 8.2C now.

Note that the B INPT counter cannot be independently congured unless the count mode for PRM CT is set to AB IND (see 8.2B). If you attempt to enter the B INPT counter setup when the

above condition has not been met, an error message will scroll across the display, and you will not be allowed to continue.

B _ _ _ COUNT MODE scrolls across the display, and the current count mode ap-

pears. Use the and buttons to select an option from the list. (Options

will vary depending on which counter you are editing.) When you have made a

selection, press to accept and continue.

¨ If you are currently editing PRM CT, the menu options will be:

QUADX1, QUADX2, QUADX4, A+B, A–B, AB IND (AB independent) or UP/DN (up/down).

¨ If you are currently editing C INPT, the menu options will be:

COUNT, RSOFAB (reset to oset A, B mode) or RSOFST (reset to oset

and start A, B mode).

For more information on count modes, please see Section 6.

C _ _ _ DECIMAL POINT POSITION scrolls across the display, and the current

decimal point position appears. Use the and buttons to select NO DP,

0.1, 0.12, 0.123, 0.1234 or 0.12345, and then press to accept and continue.

D _ _ _ PULSES PER UNIT OF MEASUREMENT scrolls across the display, and the

current number of pulses appears. Adjust this value using the

and but-

tons, and then press .

For example, if an encoder outputs 1,500 pulses/metre, set this value to 1500.

E _ _ _ ENTER DISPLAY VALUE FOR X PULSES scrolls across, and the current

display value appears. ('X' is the number of pulses selected in 8.2D.) Adjust this

value using the and buttons, and then press .

For example, if you selected 1,500 pulses in 8.2D, and 1,500 pulses = 1 metre, then enter 1

here. (Enter this value with reference to your decimal point position - the controller will automatically calculate the correct scale factor for you.)

F _ _ _ RESET AT POWER UP scrolls across the display, and the current setting

appears. Use the and buttons to select: NO (count value will be retained at power up), ZERO (count value will be set to zero at power up), or LD VAL

(count value will be set to a user dened load value at power up - see 8.2G).

Then press to accept and continue.

G _ _ _ LOAD VALUE scrolls across the display, and the load value appears. (This

value will loaded into the selected counter at power up when LD VAL is selected

in 8.2F.) Use the

and buttons to adjust your load value as desired, and

then press .

This value is also used for the C input reset functions RSOFAB (see 6.9) and RSOFST (see 6.10).

H _ _ _ COUNTER SETUP scrolls across the display, and SKIP appears. You are

now back at 8.2A. To set up another input channel, follow the instructions from

8.2A–H again. If you do not wish to set up another input channel, press now

to skip to 8.3.

8.3 - Rate display setup

A _ _ _ RATE DISPLAY SETUP scrolls across the display, and SKIP appears. Press

to skip to 8.4, or the button and then to ENTER.

Sampling

D _ _ _ TIME PERIOD FOR RATE DISPLAY scrolls across the display, and the

current selection appears. Use the and buttons to select: SECS, MINS or HOURS, and then press .

This parameter allows you to view the eective rate over dierent time periods. For example, if the measurement units are metres, then rate can be viewed in m/sec, m/min or m/hr.

The controller will automatically calculate the required scaling factors based on the input channel setup, so you must complete 'Counter Setup' (8.2) rst.

E _ _ _ RATE MULTIPLIER scrolls across the display, and the current multiplication

factor appears. This option adds a scale factor, to display the rate in the required units. Use the and buttons to select: X0.0001, X0.001, X0.01, X 0 .1, X1,

X10, X100 or X1000. (To disable this feature select 'X1'.) Then press .

F _ _ _ LOW CUT scrolls across the display, and the current low cut value appears.

When the rate drops below the low cut value, it displays as zero. Use the and buttons to adjust this value (or set the low cut value to '0' to disable this

feature). Then press .

G _ _ _ DISPLAY ZERO TIME scrolls across the display, and the current display zero

time appears. This controls how quickly the rate display changes to zero. Use

and buttons to select either: 100SEC (for slow inputs), or 0.5SEC (for

the

faster inputs with more than 2 pulses/second). Then press .

H _ _ _ AVE SAMPLES scrolls across the display, and the current averaging ap-

pears. Using the

and buttons, alter the number of rate samples that the

controller will average, and then press .

Your controller has input signal averaging, optimising stable measurement.

If the change in input exceeds the averaging window value it will not average, ensuring fast response when there are large dierences between readings.

Increasing the number of AVE SAMPLES will stabilise measurement, but it will also slow down response rates.

Averaging window in displayed counts

I _ _ _ AVE WINDOW scrolls across the display, and the currently selected averag-

ing window value appears. Using the and buttons, alter the rate signal

averaging window, and then press .

If your input signal contains large noise spikes, then you can increase the size the of averaging window to ensure that these pulses are still averaged. However, increasing the averaging window too far will reduce the ability of the controller to respond quickly to real changes in input signal.

Setting the averaging window to zero will turn o the window mode and give continuous averaging as per the selected averaging samples.

APPENDIX A - SERIAL MODES

A.1 - Custom ASCII mode

Custom ASCII is a simple, custom protocol that allows connection to various PC con-

guration tools. ('Custom ASCII' diers from the 'Modbus (ASCII)' protocol used by

some devices.) Custom ASCII command strings must be constructed in this order:

Start - Use 'S' for the start character of a command string (not case sensitive). This

must be the rst character in the string.

Controller Address - Use an ASCII number from '1' to '255' for the controller address.

If the character following the start character is not an ASCII number, then address '0' is assumed. All controllers respond to address '0'.

Read/Write Command - Use ASCII 'R' for read, 'U' for unformatted read, or 'W' for

write (not case sensitive). Any other character aborts the operation.

In Custom ASCII mode, data is normally read as formatted data (which includes decimals and any text characters that may be selected to show units). However it is also possible to read unformatted data by using a 'U' in the read command. There is no unformatted write command, as when writing to xed point registers, any decimal point and text characters are ignored.

number from '1' to '65535'. This character must be specied for a write com-

mand, but may be omitted for a read command, (in which case the controller

will respond with the data value currently on the display).

Separator Character - The separator character can be either a space or a comma,

and is used to separate the register address from the data value.

Data Value - Must be an ASCII number. The absolute limits for this number are

-1000000 to 1000000, but please note that not all registers will accept this range.

Message Terminator - This is the last character, and must be either a '$' (dollar) or

an '*' (asterisk). Neither of these characters should be used elsewhere in the

message string. If '$' is used, a 50ms minimum delay is inserted before a reply is sent. If '*' is used, a 2ms minimum delay is inserted before a reply is sent.

Custom ASCII Read/Write Examples

Example Description

SR$ Read display value from all controllers, 50ms delay.

S15R$ Read display value from controller address 15, 50ms delay.

S3U40* Read unformatted data in channel 4 from controller address 3, 2ms delay.

S2W2 -10000$ Write -10000 to the display register of controller address 2, 50ms delay.

SWT CHAN_1$ Write ASCII text string Chan_1 to channel 1 text register, 50ms delay.

Controller Response - Aer the controller has completed a read or write instruction,

it responds by sending a carriage return/line feed (CR/LF) back to the host. If

the instruction was a read command, the CR/LF follows the last character in the

ASCII string. If it was a write command, CR/LF is the only response sent back.

The host must wait for this before sending further commands to the controller.

If the controller encounters an error, it will respond with a null (0x00) CR/LF.

A.2 - Modbus (RTU) mode

Modbus (RTU) is an industry standard RTU slave mode that allows connection to a

wide range of devices. Modbus registers are all holding registers, and should be ac-

cessed via function codes 3 and 6. Register addresses are displayed in the Modicon™

5-digit addressing format. I.e. Register 65=40065 (subtract 1 for direct addressing).

Ltd.) Ranger A output strings are constructed as shown:

Start - STX character (ASCII 02)

Sign - Output value sign (space for + and dash for -)

Output Value - Seven character ASCII string containing the current output value and

decimal point. (If there is no decimal point, then the rst character is a space.
