APPLICATIONS ...
NOTE 2:
While entering the value for a parameter , if the highlighting reaches the right most digit, and upon pressing RIGHT
key, the highlighting goes back to the left most digit.
INPUT MODE PROGRAMMING
The input mode (line 9) is provided to select all legal combinations of input logic, input mode and sensor type. This
allows the user to effectively increase the resolution of the count input transducer. (You cannot program X4 logic
with unidirectional input device or X1 logic with Quadrature input device). X2 logic detects the leading and trailing
edges of each pulse; X4 logic detects leading and trailing edges of both signals in Quadrature inputs.
CORRECTION CONSTANT PROGRAMMING:
The Correction constant (Line 8) has a user programmable range of five decades. This feature allows the user to
factor the incoming count into useful engineering units (inches, cm, mm, etc.). The resolution of the count transducer
and input logic should be chosen to take advantage of the best instantaneous accuracy of the calibrator . The best
instantaneous accuracy is obtained with a correction constant setting not exceeding 1.0000. The general form of
the equation for the correction constant is given below .
Displayed Value in Engineering units
CC = —————————————————————————————————
(Display Resolution) x Input pulses x Input logic
(Where input Logics is X1, X2 or X4)
Page 12
BATCH COUNTER and BACKGROUND TOTALIZER OPERATION:
The Batch counter increments each time an Auto Reset assignment is processed by the controller if the Batch
Counter is selected ‘ON’ (Line 12 of the Program table). The Batch Counter may be reset via the front panel by
scrolling to the Batch Counter display line, then pressing the RST/CLR key. The Batch counter may be reset
externally by selecting the BA TCH/TOT AL input in the Batch Reset(line 19). The Totalizer counts in parallel with
the main counter when selected ‘ON’ (line 13). The Totalizer may be reset via the front panel by scrolling the
Totalizer display line, then pressing the RST/CLR key. The Totalizer may be reset externally by selecting the
BA TCH/TOT AL input as the T ot alizer Reset (Line 19).
SETUP MODE OPERATION:
The Count and the Batch presets may be dynamically changed while in the RUN mode of operation by entering
the SETUP mode. The Counter continues to operate without loss of count while the operator is in the SETUP
mode. The SETUP mode is entered by pressing the KEY key. Entering the SETUP mode is only allowed if the
Preset lock (Line 15) is OFF . The annunciator ‘SET’ will glow signaling entry into the SETUP mode. The control
continues to operate, keeping track of the count and comparing presets.
While in the SETUP mode the CLR/RST, UP and DOWN keys are active allowing the data to be changed as
required. You may change any or all the SETUP mode lines. Changes to the operational presets (those used in
the RUN mode) are made upon exiting SETUP mode. Any changes that are made in the SETUP mode are saved
at any appropriate program lines when the SETUP mode is exited. Exit the SETUP mode by pressing KEY key
To display the Start Count (SC) in SET mode, the direction should be made DOWN (DIR DN) in Line 10, and to
display the presets P1, P2, P3 and PB the corresponding assignments should be made in Program Mode.
APPLICATIONS ...
WARNING: Use caution when editing presets in the SETUP mode. Preset comparisons will be made with
the edited presets upon exiting the SETUP mode and entering RUN mode. Preset comparisons are made
as follow: When the Preset changes from > the count value to < the Count value or when the Preset
changes form < the count value to > the Count V alue. External machine logic circuitry should be designed
to handle this.
STOP/HOLD CONTROL INPUT :
The STOP/HOLD input is programmable as either a STOP Count or as Display HOLD function (Line 18). When
selected as a STOP Count function, a contact closure causes the input counts to the Main and Totalizing
Counters to be inhibited (counters will not count). When selected as a Display HOLD function, a contact
closure causes the front panel display to be “frozen”, but lets the controller continue to count. The Display
HOLD function does not affect data being transmitted via the serial interface.

SERIAL COMMUNICATION ...
OVERVIEW
Page 17
The MAX Count Advanced is equipped with an RS-485
Serial interface for remote data collection, programming
and networking applications. Front panel keyboard and
some external control inputs are supported. Additionally ,
facilities are provided for individual (local) and group
(global) control of single and multiple unit configurations
respectively in a bus oriented system. Knowledge of serial
communications is required by the user who wishes to
use the remote capabilities or to integrate the control into
a larger system.
Two applications will be discussed. The first consists
of a single MAX Count Advanced and a display terminal. It explains the use of the serial commands that
mimic the keyboard operation and some control inputs.
These are the LOCAL commands. Next, an application of multiple units under the control of a host computer will be discussed. The GLOBAL commands will
be discussed in this section.
TERMINA TION
The RS-485 receivers require the termination to minimize
the effects of noise while the bus is not being driven. The
MAX and PM61 products incorporate the terminations
shown on the right internally . When connection is made to
RS-485 device other than a MAX or PM61, the receiver
should be terminated as shown.
SERIAL INTERFACE PROTOCOL ...
CABLE SELECTION
Page 18
The MAX serial interface uses a simple interconnect
scheme and low cost wiring making it superior to parallel
data transfer schemes. Through three (3) wire pairs,
remote operation at distances up to 5,000 feet can be
implemented. The following general guidelines should
be observed.
1. Use #24 A WG twisted pair, overall shielded cable.
2. Use a “daisy chained” connection scheme for
bus systems.
PROTOCOL : Modbus RTU
Modbus is the one of the industrial standard protocol.
There are two types of Modbus implementation, one is
‘ASCII’ and other is ‘RTU’, since R TU (Remote T erminal
Unit) is the more popular, MAX Count Advanced has
supported ‘Modbus RTU’ Protocol.
Modbus RTU protocol is supported by almost all
industrial standard automation products like PLCs ,
Motor Drives, DCS, and SCADA etc.
Modbus is a Message based master-slave type protocol,
where as there is a one master on a multi-drop
communication bus and several slaves connected which
are addressed as per their unique slave id. The master
sends a query to slaves to read the data from slave as
well as writes data on the slave.
Following is the serial port specifications:-
Baud Rate:- Programmable as OFF (OFF= no
communication) or 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600
Data format:- 8 bit , no parity, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit
Supported Modbus Queries: MAX Count Advanced
supports the three types of modbus commands,
1. Command 03 (Read Holding Register)
2. Command 16 (WRITE Holding Registers)
3. Command 04 (Read Input Register)
3. If a “multidrop” system is used, keep the drop length
at 10% of the main line.
4. Tie the cable shield to BUILDING GROUD at the MAX
end of the cable.
5. Crimp both the wires to a common lug for Multiple
unit wiring.
RECOMMENDED CABLE TYPES:
Belden #9503
Alpha #5493
are 32 bit long integers, the modbus master need to
read two concurrent integer words and combine them to
form a 32 bit long integer for processing.
Following is an example of how to do it.
Assume that the value of the Start Counts SC is 123456.
The Hex value will be 1E240H. The Holding Register
address of SC is (40000 : 40001) and hence, address
40000 will contain 01h (Most Significant word) and
address 40001 will contain E240h value (Least significant
word).
Note:
Ensure to switch OFF & ON the unit after editing
the programming parameters through the MODBUS
commands.

2. DCS Distributed Control Systems
3. SCADA: Supervisory controls & Data Acquisition.
Description of modbus commands:-
Command 03 (Read Holding Register)
Read Multiple Holding Registers.
This command will allow the master to read Programmed
Parameters like presets settings etc. Using this
command maximum 2 numbers of 16 bit integers can
be read together in single query . That means, 3 or more
holding register read can not be done in a single query.
Multiple queries can be sent for different address to read
the data from instrument. Since most of the variables

3. Command 04 (Read Input Register)
Command 04 works in similar way as command 03 except it reads input registers like counts Co, Cb, Ct
which are the process parameters, instead of programmable parameters like in command 03. The query and
response is exactly same as command 03, except that the command field will have 04 instead of 03 and the
data transaction will be related to input registers instead of holding registers. The process parameters like
Co,Cb,Ct can not be edited.

collector or contact inputs: select s A-B, A+B X2 or Quadrature X2, X4
for open collector inputs. The Input mode value should not exceed 7.
If the value exceeds, it will be loaded with AMINUSB_CONT ACT_X1.
0(direction UP) or 1(direction DWN). If the value given is greater then
1 then the default value of 0(direction UP) is loaded.
The value of Decimal point position should not exceed 5 .If the
value exceeds it will be replaced by 0. In MAX series, a
decimal point to be displayed is programmable, which makes long
integer to appear as float. For Example if the Counter value
displayed is 123.456, it is stored as 123456 in modbus register
and treated by embedded software as 123456 only . The decimal
point is just placed on 7 segment display to appear it to be 123.456.
While reading these all values one has to consider decimal point
applicable (i.e. 2nd position, 3rd positions etc.) if Modbus value is
read as 123456, and decimal point is on 2nd position, then actual
display on PC screen should be 1234.56. The software has to
divide the value by 100 and display it as “%6.2f” format. While
writing the values the same thing should be done. If user enters
1234 (can be 1234.00) as a value and if decimal point is on 2nd
position, then it is interpreted as 1234.00 and 123400 value should
be written. The software should read decimal point register to
determine decimal point position.
