Product overview
PROGNOSYS (Prognosis System) is a software package used to monitor and show the reliability of
measurement values and to identify pending maintenance tasks. This software is available for sc
sensors. The sc1000 controller operates and configures the software.
The controller display will show horizontal bars as a measurement value indicator and as a service
indicator for the remaining time until the next maintenance task. The green, yellow and red indicators
show and identify the status of each sensor. Each sensor has an individual screen.
The service indicator is a prediction about future maintenance and service tasks, which are based on
the current sensor status. The service messages supply information on maintenance tasks that the
user must complete (e.g., to clean the sensor or replace the reagents). In addition, service tasks are
shown that the service technician must complete. All service messages have a countdown period
with sufficient time to contact a service technician or to order a replacement part.
Product components
Make sure that all components have been received. If any items are missing or damaged, contact the
manufacturer or a sales representative immediately.
PROGNOSYS can only be used with an sc1000 controller that has an RTC communication card or a
PROGNOSYS card installed. The PROGNOSYS files for the different sc sensors are kept on the
sc1000 controller.
To use PROGNOSYS without an RTC module, install a PROGNOSYS communication card on an
sc1000 controller. Refer to Replacement parts on page 18
.
Installation
PROGNOSYS communication card
If a PROGNOSYS communication card is installed, the controller display shows RTC
MODULES/PROGNOSYS in the main menu.
Install the RTC/PROGNOSYS communication card
Install an RTC or a PROGNOSYS communication card on an sc1000 controller with the software
version 3.20 or higher.
The controller operates a maximum of three communication cards at the same time. Each
PROGNOSYS communication card manages a maximum of eight sensors.
Refer to the applicable documentation for the RTC or PROGNOSYS communication card installation.

The measurement indicator (top bar) shows a possible measurement value deviation,
but the value is still within the permitted tolerance.
The service indicator (bottom bar) shows an upcoming maintenance task which
includes a countdown period. Set the countdown period between 7 and 14 days.
No data is available or the RTC/PROGNOSYS communication card was removed.

Measurement value indicator
If the sensor condition changes, the measurement value indicator changes. A deterioration of the
measurement value indicator level in the top bar can change the color in the bottom service bar.
Pending maintenance tasks do not have an immediate effect on the measurement value indicator
(e.g., to replace the reagents).
A change in color from green to yellow shows that the reliability of the measurement value
decreased. There can be a deviation in the measurement value, but the value is still within the
permissible tolerance.
The top bar shows the measurement value indicator in [%].
If the vertical cursor is in the red area (<50%), the measurement value indicator is not in the
permitted range. These measurement values must not be used for control purposes in processes.
Refer to Service and measurement value indicator messages on page
When the errors are successfully solved, the color automatically changes from red to green.

Service indicator
The service indicator shows the maintenance status of the sensor. The bottom bar shows the
number of days that remain until a maintenance task must be completed. The date and time for the
next maintenance task (e.g., cleaning or calibration is calculated). Service tasks with no countdown
show immediately and change the color from green to red (e.g., an interruption of communication
over a prolonged period or moisture in the sensor).
The number of days until the next maintenance tasks is shown in the applicable message list. Refer
to Configure the sensor on page 11.
See the message lists
The messages in the measurement value indicator list show the type of incident with a percentage
value. The percentage shows the influence degree on the probability that the measurement value is
correct. The measurement value indicator is the product of the first incident multiplied by the average
of all possible incidents. Notice that incidents with 100% are not shown in the list but are part of the
calculation.
Refer to Service and measurement value indicator messages on page 11 for a general overview of
the instrument-specific messages.
English 9
Example: A probe has 10 possible indicators. Three parameters show indicators of 75%, 90% and
90%. The hidden indicators have a value of 100%. The worst incident is changed to a decimal
number: 0.75. The average of the other incidents is 0.98. The overall indicator is 0.75 × 0.98 = 0.73.
The overall indicator for the example is 73%. Refer to Table 2.
The message list specifies the type of the maintenance task with the number of days left until the
maintenance must be completed. The example shows to replace the cleaning solution today. The
reagents should be used up in six days. Refer to Table 3.

Warranty
The manufacturer warrants that the supplied product is free of material and manufacturing defects,
and undertakes to repair or to replace any defective parts without charge.
The warranty period is 24 months. If a maintenance contract is taken out within 6 months of
purchase, the warranty period is extended to 60 months.
With the exclusion of further claims, the supplier is liable for defects, including the lack of assured
properties, as follows: all parts that, within the warranty period calculated from the day of the transfer
of risk, can be demonstrated to have become unusable or that can only be used with significant
limitations owing to circumstances prior to transfer of risk, in particular due to incorrect design,
substandard materials or inadequate finish, shall be repaired or replaced at the supplier's discretion.
The identification of such defects must be reported to the supplier in writing as soon as possible, but
no later than 7 days after the discovery of the fault. If the customer fails to notify the supplier, the
product is considered approved despite the defect. Further liability for indirect or direct damages is
not accepted.
If device-specific maintenance- or inspection work prescribed by the supplier is to be performed
within the guarantee period by the customer (maintenance) or by the supplier (inspection) and these
requirements are not met, claims for damages that result from non-observance of these requirements
are void.
Further claims, in particular for consequential damages, cannot be made.
Wear and damage caused by improper handling, incorrect installation or non-designated use are
excluded from this clause.
The process instruments of the manufacturer have proven their reliability in many applications and
are therefore often used in automatic control loops to enable the most economical and efficient
operation of the relevant process.
To avoid or limit consequential damage, it is therefore recommended that the control loop be
designed such that an instrument malfunction results in an automatic changeover to the backup
control system. This guarantees the safest operating condition both for the environment and the
process.
PROGNOSYS register
Table 4 shows PROGNOSYS parameters that are available from the RTC/PROGNOSYS
communication card. These parameters can be sent to a superordinate programmable open loop
control or to a computer via a fieldbus card such as Profibus or Modbus TCP/IP.
Each communication card gives parameters for a maximum of 15 sensors. The sequence for the
sensors or allocation of sensor parameters is controlled by the allocation of the sensors on the
applicable communication card. Refer to Add a sensor on page
18 English
5.
Refer to the applicable fieldbus card documentation for information on the installation and
configuration.
