2.2 Basics of operation

In order to keep the operating and programming of the printing recorder clear and simple, the individual parameters and functions are divided into several levels:
- Basic status
- Operating level (S-level)
- Parameter level (P-level)
- Configuration level 1 (C1-level)
- Configuration level 2 (C2-level)
- Configuration level 3 (C3-level)
12
The levels, parameters and sub-parameters are arranged as a tree structure. Starting from the basic status, it branches out into the individual levels, and from there further into the corresponding parameters and, if available, sub­parameters.
If it is necessary to alter a certain parameter, then step through the relevant level until this parameter is reached.
Pressing E starts the editing process. If a parameter has several sub-parameters, these can also be accessed by
pressing E.

2 Instrument description
Basic status After the supply voltage has been applied, the printing recorder will be initial-
ised and is then in the basic status. Measurements are made, processed, and recorded.
The 24-character LED dot-matrix display can show:
- instrument designation (name), date and time
(the time can be switched off via the parameter Parameter level time)
- channel number and measurements (incl. units) of all active channels (in pairs)
- channel number, name and measurement (incl. units) of all active channels (sequentially)
- status and error messages
-interface texts v Section 10.6 “Interface (RS422/RS485)”
- customer-specific texts
The display can be either cyclic or static:
Î Display
Cyclic display
The printing recorder switches automatically to the next display after about 3sec.
Static display
In the basic status, the static display is activated and de-activated with E. If it is activated, then the present display remains, and is regularly updated.
In the basic status, the information in the display can be changed over with the h and R keys.
Status and error messages will be identified in plain language by a regularly flashing display, instead of the present display.
The display of status and error messages can be inhibited, or activated again, by pressing l + r .
If a measurement is outside the valid range of the A/D converter (out-of-range), or if a probe break has been detected, then the character combination “>>>>>>” will appear in place of the value.
The recording can be stopped or re-started with the S key. In the stop status “STOP” will flash in the LED dot-matrix display.
Using the e key, in the stop status, activates the chart fast-forward. Pressing the F key for at least 4 sec will restart the scaling print-out. The operating level can be accessed by pressing the h + R keys simultane-
ously.

It the operating level is active, then signal acquisition, processing and recording, as well as limit monitoring, will all continue to be performed.
2 Instrument description
Parameter level (P-level)
The parameter level can be accessed from the operating level with the aid of the h + R keys, from the configuration level 1 by using e.
The parameter level and configuration levels are protected by a four-figure code number.
There are two different code numbers:
- Code number for the restricted parameter set (factory setting 9200)
- Code number for the full parameter set (factory setting 9210)
The parameters which belong to the restricted parameter set are defined in the setup program under Edit
Here, parameters which are not needed for the application, or only have to be programmed once, can be appropriately marked. They will no longer be dis­played on the recorder after the new setup has been transferred.
If one of the two code numbers is entered, then
- signal acquisition and
-recording
will be interrupted. Furthermore

- events will no longer be recorded,
- reports will be aborted and reset,
- limits will no longer be monitored,
- the Code for the mathematics module will no longer be applied,
- the fault signal output will be set to fault, and
- all other outputs will remain in their last state.
The parameters can now be programmed.
If the wrong code number is entered, then the recorder will remain in the normal mode. Signal acquisition, processing and recording are still active.
The parameters can be looked at, but not programmed.
The code numbers can be altered through the setup program
Î Code numbers …) or on the instrument.
(Edit

3 Operation and visualisation

The printing recorder has a large variety of possibilities for presenting the measurements acquired at the signal inputs on the paper, for monitoring them, and for control.
The functions are available for:
- limit monitoring through limit comparators
-open-collector outputs
- different chart paper speeds
- graphics printing
- text printing

3.1 Limit monitoring by limit comparators

8 limit comparators are available for monitoring limits. They are set up through the parameter Configuration level 1 rameters can be used to establish the limit values, switching differential (hys­teresis) limits, texts, limit comparator functions (lk) and the response to a probe break.
Î Limit comparator. Appropriate sub-pa-
The texts are printed out when the values go out-of-range or exceed the differ­ential values, as described in the section on text printing.
v Section 3.5.4 “Limit comparator texts, external text, binary-linked external
text”
The limit comparators produce a logical 0 or 1 as output. The sub-parameter “LK-function” also decides what the result of the limit state is.
LK function: lk7
23
3 Operation and visualisation
LK function: lk8
As well as producing the text print-out, the results from
- limit comparators 1 to 3 can be fed to the open-collector outputs 1 to 3,
and/or
- those from limit comparators 1 to 8 to the relay outputs 1 to 8 (option).
The relay outputs are available as an option (extra code ER8). v Section 10.3 “External relay module ER8”
The state of the limit comparators can be documented by using the event traces on the chart paper.
v Section 3.4.2 “Event traces”
The response of the limit comparators to out-of-range measure­ments or a probe break can be defined with the parameter Config- uration level 1 Limit comparator Probe break.
The limit values can be printed out in the form of limit marks (“l”) together with the scaling.
v Section 3.5.8 “Scaling”

3 Operation and visualisation

3.2 Open-collector outputs

The printing recorder is equipped with four open-collector outputs. The out­puts 1 to 3 have a fixed assignment to the limit comparators 1 to 3. Output 4 is used as a fault signal output. The outputs can be activated by using the pa­rameter Configuration level 2
Fault output The fault signal output can be used to indicate a fault. During correct operation
of the printing recorder this output is active. In the event of a fault or distur­bance, or if the status in the parameter Configuration level 2 is OFF, it becomes inactive (open).
The following causes will lead to a fault signal:
- Chart paper end
- Power off
- The battery of the recorder is discharged
- No communication with the external relay module ER8
- Fatal errors

3.3 Different chart speeds (paper feed)

The printing recorder is equipped with several different chart speeds, so that the measurements can always be optimally interpreted on the chart.
Normal chart speed
Limit operation (limit feed)
External speed
The chart paper is transported with the speed which is programmed in the pa­rameter Operating level
If the value goes above or below the programmable limits (Configuration level 1 over to the speed programmed in Configuration level 2
To avoid excessively frequent chart speed changes, a switching differential (hysteresis) of 0.5% is applied to the switching level. The switching differential is referred to the scaling and zoom.
Se = scaling end Sa = scaling start Ze = zoom end Za = zoom start
A signal at a logic input (extra code) can be used to switch to a chart paper speed which is programmed in Configuration level 3

Timed operation (feed time)
This chart paper speed is valid for a programmable period of time, and is de­fined by the parameter Configuration level 2
If it is set so that start time = end time, then the timed operation is inactive. Different priorities apply for the various speeds. v Section 3.5.6 “Switching the chart speed”
Î Feed time.

3.4 Graphic print-out

The printing recorder is fitted with a print head which always has 6 colour pens, regardless of the number of channels. For the 3-channel version the col­our sequence is: violet, red, black, violet, red, black. For the 6-channel version it is: violet, red, black, green, blue, brown. This means that in the 3-channel version the colours last twice as long. When using the setup program, if col­ours are assigned to a 3-channel recorder which are not available (green, blue, brown), they will automatically be replaced (violet, red, black). The printing of measurements and texts is always made in the same direction (unidirectional printing).
The time which is needed to print out one line depends on the number of points which have to be printed in this line. If the maximum number of points are printed, then about 12 seconds are required for one line. As the chart speed increases, more and more measurements, and so more and more lines, have to be printed. So the printer must reduce the time which it needs to try and print a line as the speed increases. These times can be seen in the following table.
3 Operation and visualisation
Speed (mm/h) minimum time per line (sec)
5 10 20 60
120 240 300 360 600 720
288 144
72 24 12
9 6 5
4.8 4
Up to a speed of 120mm/h every line can be printed in the time available, since there are never more than 12 seconds required. At higher speed, if the time taken to print a line is longer than the value in the table, then the lag is compensated for by speeding up to the next line. Example: At a speed of 300mm/h the printing recorder attempts to print a line every 6 seconds, according to the table. But it needs 9 seconds to print a line. This is compensated by increasing the speed by 50% for the next line.
The recorder has been so developed that the printed traces are always as vis­ible as possible. For instance, an alternating print of the different colours avoids a mixing and waste of colour if the measurements are the same.
27
3 Operation and visualisation
Example: If three traces lie on top of one another, then the alternating print pattern en­sures that no point has a multiple print, but that each channel uses one point at a time, sequentially.

3.4.1 Measurement traces (signal traces)

In the factory setting, all the measurement traces are printed over the full chart width. The parameters “zoom” and ”presentation range” offer the possibility of altering the print-out.
Zoom (plot area)
Zoom operation is used to record a section of the complete measurement range in an enlargement. Zoom operation is activated by the parameter Con-
figuration level 1
The values to be entered for the start (ZOOM-START) and end (ZOOM-END) are made in %, and can be calculated as follows:
Mk = smallest measurement to be recorded Mg = largest measurement to be recorded Sa = scaling start Se = scaling end
The difference between start and end values must be at least 10%. Example:
The selected input signal is a voltage in the range 0 — 10V, and the scaling is set to the range 0 — 2000m/h. The section of the range from 500 — 1500m/h is to be displayed.

Presentation range (offset)
Peak value re­cording
This parameter can be used to determine a range of the chart paper on which the trace will be recorded. Either the complete chart paper width of 100 mm can be used, or just a portion. In this way it can be arranged that all the chan­nels are presented next to one another (strip recording). The presentation range is activated by the parameter Configuration level 1
The printing recorder can acquire considerably more values than it can print. At a chart speed of 20 mm/h, for instance, approximately only every 24th measurement is recorded on the chart. The peak value recording function can deal with this situation.
Peak value recording = OFF: When the peak value recording is switched off, the latest value present at the instant of printing is recorded on the chart.
Peak value recording = ON: When the peak value recording is switched on, the minimum and maximum measurements are stored internally between two lines which are to be printed.
Î Offset.

3 Operation and visualisation
These minimum and maximum values are printed when peak value recording is activated. One advantage of the peak value recording is that at least an im­pression of the measurement trace on the chart can be gained, even at slow chart speeds and after text printing in the “Interrupt measurement trace” mode.
The peak value recording can be switched on and off for each channel by us­ing the parameter Configuration level 1

Colour assignment
The colours which are used to print the traces can be set with the aid of the setup program. In the basic status, for a 3-channel recorder, the colours violet, red and black are assigned to the channels 1 — 3. When using a 6-channel recorder, the colours green, blue and brown are also used, for the additional channels 4 — 6.

3.4.2 Event traces

In addition to the measurement traces, the printing recorder offers the possi­bility of recording up to 8 event traces. The sources for the events can be the limit comparators as well as the logic inputs (extra code). The source selection and trace selection are made by the parameter Configu-
ration level 3
The setup program can be used to select the start position of the event traces on the chart paper, between 0 and 100%.
If not all the event traces are selected, then a gap will appear at the corre­sponding positions. This means that every trace has the same spacing from the defined start position.

Colour assignment

In the 6-channel version, the colours violet, red, black, green, blue, brown, vio­let and red are assigned to the event traces 1 — 8. In the 3-channel version the colours green, blue, brown are replaced by violet, red, black.
The colours can be changed with the aid of the setup program.
