Use the User Guide online help file to quickly access information regarding any MON2000 function. See Section 3.8 for more detailed information.

1.3 DESCRIPTION OF MON2000

MON2000 is a menu-driven, Windows-based software program designed to operate the gas chromatograph (GCs). MON2000 runs on an IBM-compatible personal computer (PC) and serves as an interface between you and the GC unit. MON2000 can run on a Windows® 95,

Windows® 98, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP or Windows® NT operating system.

MON2000

MON2000, combined with the GC application(s), offers a complete software package for operating and monitoring one or more GC systems from a single PC. MON2000 includes security features to help prevent unauthorized access to GC data or control. MON2000 also includes, for trouble-shooting purposes, an auxiliary program (WinMB) to selectively poll the GC Modbus registers (see Section 10 for more information).

GC functions that can be initiated or controlled by MON2000 include:

• alarm parameters

• alarm and event processing

• analog scale adjustments

•analyses

• baseline runs

• calculation assignments and configurations

• calibrations

• component assignments and configurations

When configured for RS-485 multi-drop networking, MON2000 can interface with up to 32 GC units, either in a stand-alone configuration or via a network.

When configured for Ethernet networking MON2000 can interface with a number of GC Units limited only by the number of available TCP/IP addresses.

2.11.4 Modem Initialization Strings/Setup

This section provides “examples” of modem initialization strings and setups that have been tested and proven operable. This string of text characters, known as 'AT commands', has special meaning to the PC modem and is used by the modem for every telephone connection made to a selected GC unit.

To edit or enter a modem initialization string,

use the button and use the Control

Panel > Modems > General > Properties > Connection > Advanced to access the Advanced

Modem Connection Settings dialog. Enter the modem initialization string in the Extra Settings field.

MON2000

Modem Initialization Strings/Setup JULY 2010

MON2000

INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2-37

By default, MON2000 provides a modem initialization string that serves the purpose for most Hayes-compatible modems. Therefore, in most cases, you need not enter a different string.

However, for some modems, you may want to consult the following pages which document initialization strings and modem setups that have been field-tested.

The default initialization string that MON2000 provides is sent to the PC modem first. Then the custom initialization string you provide is sent. In this manner, MON2000 sets the modem parameters that it requires, while you can customize the modem's operation to respond to special conditions.

Once the optimum modem initialization string has been determined, it should need no further revision unless a different brand or model of modem is installed.

Black Box - Modem 325

During development of the GC Controller, a Black Box Modem 325 was used to test modem communications with the GC unit. For that test and that modem, the modem initialization was set as follows:

\N0\C0\Q0 (where 0 = zero)

JULY 2010 Modem Initialization Strings/Setup

2-38 INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Interpretation of the AT commands for that particular modem was as follows:

• \N0 = normal mode; no error control; data is buffered (versus ‘direct mode,’ ‘reliable mode, ’or ‘auto reliable mode’)

• \C0 = disable auto reliable buffer (versus ‘buffer data for 4 seconds or 200 characters’)

2.12 2350 TO 2350A RETROFIT INSTRUCTIONS

The 2350A GC Controller CPU assembly has been designed to include all digital I/O and COM3 and COM4 serial ports. This eliminates the requirement (and additional cost) for an I/O assembly or DSPI/O assembly.

In addition, BOS is now resident in the DiskOnChip, instead of an EPROM set. The DiskOnChip provides additional expanded memory for archiving data, instead of having to purchase a memory expansion board assembly. The BOS file in the DiskOnChip may be upgraded in the field through MON2000.

Optional boards may be plugged directly into the PC/104 Bus (connectors J19 and J20) on the CPU board assembly. The COM4A board provides four additional serial ports (COM5 through COM8). A modem board and/or Ethernet board may be also be plugged directly into the PC/104 Bus for additional communications requirements.

JULY 2010 2350 to 2350A Retrofit Instructions

2-42 INSTALLATION AND SETUP

The PC/104 Bus is designed to allow any combination of option boards to be installed in any order, with the exception of the CSA approved Radicom modem board which must be the top board in the assembly. (see Figure 2-1).

2.13 CONVERSION PROCESS

Use the following process to retrofit a 2350 GC Controller to a 2350A GC Controller.

1. At the GC Controller site, remove the Controller enclosure's front panel.

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH POSSIBLE

Before removing the unit cover from the GC Controller, make certain the power supply switch is OFF and the AC power cord is disconnected. Observe all safety precautions when you are working in a hazardous environment.

Failure to observe all safety precautions could result in serious injury or death.

(a) For the explosion-proof Controller, the

front panel is secured by 16 screws. Remove those screws first.

(b) Then carefully lower the front panel on

its bottom hinges. The front panel is heavy, so make sure it does not drop and cause damage.

of the enclosure is open; it allows access for most field wiring procedures without removing the enclosure.

2. Locate the GC Controller's Terminal Board for Field Wiring (TB). The TB is attached to the GC Controller's card cage assembly, facing the enclosure's front panel. (In the rack mount Controller, the TB faces outward toward the rear of the enclosure.)

3. Loosen the six screws that secure the TB. Then unplug the TB from its connections at the back, top of the board.

JULY 2010 Conversion Process

2-44 INSTALLATION AND SETUP

4. Lower the TB down and out of the way, held in place by its ground straps at the bottom of the board. This exposes the Card Cage Assembly.

5. Loosen the four screws that secure the Card Cage Assembly to the chassis. Then remove the Card Cage Assembly away from its chassis mount so that it is easy to work on.

6. Locate the System Interface and Driver board. It is mounted to the top of the Card Cage Assembly.

7. Remove all cables connected to the System Interface Board (P/N 3-2350-005, P/N 3-2350-022, or P/N 3-2350-023).

8. Remove the I/O48 Board assembly (drawing P/N BE-12973) and cables from the top slot of the Cage Card Assembly. This board is not used on the 2350A GC Controller.

10.Remove the DSPI/O board assembly (drawing P/N CE-12976) and cables from the third slot of the card cage assembly. This board is not used on the 2350A GC Controller.

11.Remove any other optional boards, such as memory expansion boards and associated cables. These parts are not used on the 2350A GC Controller.

12.Leave the Analog Board assembly (drawing P/N BE-18044) with attached cable in the card cage. This board is used on the 2350A basic configuration.

13.Change the fuse in the in-line fuse holder from 1 amp to the 2.5 amp, Slo-Blo fuse provided. The fuse is located in the cable (P/ N 2-3-2350-069) between the power supply and the System Interface Board.

14.Ensure that DIP Switches 6, 7, and 8 of S1 are all in the "OFF" position. If the 2350A is powered up with S8 in the OFF position, it will delete the current application (commonly called a "Cold Start").

15.To inspect or change the GC Controller's COM ID setup at the GC Controller site, locate the DIP switch as described in the following steps.

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH POSSIBLE

Failure to observe all safety precautions could result in serious injury or death.

• DE-20782 (see drawing addendum of Model 500 Gas Chromatograph System Hardware Reference Manual, P/N 3-9000-537).

• Transient protection modules M7 and/or M4, located on the back side of the GC Controller Terminal Board for field wiring, may need replacement with the transient protection modules for RS-232 signals (P/N 3-2350-027). Note that M4 serves COM3 and M7 serves COM4.

• Make note of the serial port number you choose for connection. You will need this information later to make appropriate software settings.

• Use an RS-232 serial cable no longer than 50 feet. Longer distances may result in spurious loss or corruption of transmitted data.

• See Section 5.17, for details of GC Controller serial port connectivity (i.e., port locations, pinouts, connector types, gender, cabling, etc.).
