Description
The Laureate stopwatch transmitter outputs isolated analog
and serial data signals whose values track the time of single
events which produce start and stop pulses, or the accumulated
time of multiple events. It can also time the width of a single
pulse. The highest resolution is 0.2 µs, making the transmitter
ideal for fast events. The longest timing interval is 999,999 hrs.
For long events, the analog output is updated continuously during
timing. There are two primary timing modes:
•
A-A Stopwatch Mode: Time is measured between a start
pulse and a stop pulse, both on Channel A, from either the
positive or negative edges.
•
A-B Stopwatch Mode: Time is measured between a start
pulse on Channel A (positive or negative edge) and a stop
pulse on Channel B (positive or negative edge). This mode
allows inputs from different sources. In addition, the A and B
inputs can be tied together to start the stopwatch with one
polarity and stop it with the other polarity.
Event time (Item #1) is measured by counting 5.5 MHz clock
pulses from a calibrated quartz crystal. The stopwatch output is
updated during timing at a rate controlled by a gate time, up to
25/sec. Time is reset to zero when the next start pulse occurs.
Accumulated time (Item #2) from multiple events up to 999,999
hours is also tracked and can be transmitted.
The dual-channel signal conditioner used for pulse detection
accepts inputs from proximity switches with PNP or NPN output,
TTL or CMOS logic, magnetic pickups, contact closures, and AC
signals from 12 mV to 250 Vac. Jumper selections provide optimum operation for different sensor types and noise conditions.
Standard features of Laureate LTE transmitters include:
•
Ethernet I/O, isolated. Supported protocols are Modbus
RTU and ASCII (tunneled via Modbus TCP) and Laurel ASCII.
The latter is simpler than the Modbus protocol and is recommended when all devices are Laureates. Note that RS232 or
RS485 data I/O in lieu of Ethernet is provided by our LT Series
transmitters.
•
4-20 mA, 0-20 mA or 0-10V analog transmitter output,
isolated, jumper-selectable and user scalable. All selections
provide 16-bit (0.0015%) resolution of output span and 0.02%
output accuracy of a reading from -99,999 to +99,999 counts
that is also transmitted digitally. Output isolation from signal
and power grounds eliminates potential ground loop problems.
The supply can drive 20 mA into a 500 ohm (or lower) load for
10V compliance, or 10V into a 5K ohm (or higher) load for
2 mA compliance.
•
Dual solid state relays, isolated. Available for local alarm
or control. Rated 120 mA at 130 Vac or 180 Vdc.
•
Transducer excitation output, isolated. User selectable
5V@100 mA, 10V@120 mA or 24V@50 mA.
•
Universal 85-264 Vac power. Low-voltage 10-48 Vdc or
12-32 Vac power is optional.
Discovery and configuration of Laureate Ethernet Nodes is
easily achieved with Laurel's Node Manager Software, and the
discovered transmitters can then be programmed using Laurel's
Instrument Setup Software. Both softwares run on a PC under
MS Windows and can be downloaded at no charge.
