6.3.3 Connection of RS-485 data transmission line

Fig. 6.22 Wiring diagram for RS-485.

Notes:

The device RS-485 receiver/driver allows connection of up to 32 devices.

An RS485-MODBUS configuration must have one trunk cable, along which devices are connected, directly (daisy chaining) or by short derivation cables.

The maximum bus length depends on the baud rate, the cable (gauge, capacitance or characteristic impedance), the number of loads on the daisy chain. For a 9600 Baud Rate and 0.125 mm2 (AWG26) or wider gauge, the maximum length is 1200 m. The derivations must be short, never more than 20 m.

To minimize the reflections from the end of the RS-485 cable it is required to place a line termination near each of the 2 ends of the bus. The device has an internal termination system, activated by DIP switch on the left side of the terminal block. The correct operation of the terminator requires setting both switches in the same position.

The “common” wire should be used for all RS-485 ports. For DL2 device as a common signal the power supply “-“ (terminal no. 14) or functional ground (terminal no. 15) have to be used.

6.3.4 Ethernet port

Ethernet (100Base-T) port is located in the rear panel of the device. Outputs connections are compliant with EIA/TIA-568A/B. A wire of 8 twisted conductors may be connected to this port ended with RJ-45 plug.

Do not use sharp or metal tools to operate the touch screen. Improper use may result in damage on the display.

[2]

[1]: It enables setting the range of the current loop 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA signal. [2]: It enables to add adjustment (offset) to the measured current value.

 IN6TC Mode: Disabled (Disabled, Enabled) Adjustment: [value] mV

[2]

[1]

Compensation: Disabled (Disabled, Constant, Channel 1,..,30)

[1]: It allows to switch the measurement input on or off. [2]: It enables adjustment (offset) to the measured millivolt signal value. [3]: The compensation method of thermocouple reference junction (cold junction

compensation). Compensation can be provided by another measurement channel. In particular, a fixed value can be selected for compensation. However, this type of measurement is likely to be incorrect. As a rule, Pt100 sensor connected to the last measurement channel is used as a compensation sensor. During the programming of the compensation settings, attention to use the same temperature units °C or °F for both measured and compensation channels should be paid.

 IN6RTD / IN3RTD Mode: Disabled (Disabled, 2-wires, 3-wires, 4-wires) Adjustment: [value] Ω

[2]

[1]

[1]: RTD sensors can be connected in a three-wire or four-wire configuration with

automatic cables resistance compensation or a two-wire configuration without compensation.

[2]: Resistance correction allows the cable resistance values to be entered manually in

the two-wire configuration. If the sensor is connected in a three-wire or four-wire configuration (automatic compensation), the resistance correction can be used to compensate the sensor error by “offsetting” the characteristics by adding the positive or negative resistance value.

 IN6V Mode: Disabled (Disabled, -10-+10V, 0-10V) Adjustment: [value] V

[2]

[1]

[1]: Working mode depends on the type of the connected transducers. [2]: It enables to add adjustment (offset) to the measured voltage value.

interference level, data transmission speed may need to be decreased. Low transmission speed extends the reading time.

DL2

[2]: Parity control of each bite. [3]: In RS-485 standard, up to 32 transmitters / receivers can be connected to the data

transmission line. Each slave-type device must have a different address assigned.

For more information on Modbus registers addresses and data format refer to section

MODBUS RTU / MODBUS TCP TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL.

12.4 Channels settings

The channel number is selected using the drop-down list, located in the upper left

corner of the screen. The description of the channel can be edited by clicking on the text in Tag field. Then, the screen keyboard will pop up.

For commissioning channels settings there are six settings tabs available: Inputs,

General, Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Σ1, Σ2. It is possible to copy settings between channels (more in section Copying channel settings).

Fig. 12.4 An example view of the ‘Channel’ settings window (math channel).

12.4.1 Inputs

Depending on the channel selection, suitable settings are available:

Channel Type: Disabled (Disabled, Measurement, Computed, Demo(TEST)) Input: A (A, B, M) Input number: 1 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) Characteristic: Linear (Linear, depending on the module type)

[2]

[3]

[4]

[1]

[1]: The “Channel Type” possible configuration: Disabled – the channel is off and not

displayed, Measurement – measured process value from input module should be assigned to the channel, Computed – the mathematical formula used for calculations must be entered – more details are in section math channels, Demo(TEST) – a sin (t) function value is virtually generated, enabling e.g. the communication test without the input signals applied.

[2]: A drop down list allows to select a suitable measurement module slot. After the

selection, on the right side of the list, the module tag is displayed enabling its identification.

[3]: The drop down list allows to select an input / output number of the measurement card

to which a selected channel is to be assigned.

DL2

[4]: The characteristic is typically set to "Linear". Also available are other setting options

(for example User characteristic), depending on the module type. For example, for the RTD module there are characteristics of the individual sensor types available.

12.4.2 General

Fig. 12.5 An example view of the ‘Channel’ settings window – ‘General’ tab.

Unit: [None] (text) Time base: - [ /s, /m, /h] Resolution: 0 (0, 0.0, 0.00, 0.000, 0.0000) Filter: Disabled (Disabled, 2s, 5s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 1min, 2min, 3min, 5min) Archiving: Disabled (Disabled, Enabled) Failure value: Disabled (Disabled, Constant [value])

[6]

Trend scale:

Trend min.: [Value] Trend max.: [Value]

[7]

[1]: The unit is provided for information purposes only. User can put in any text string

which does not affect the calculated or measured results displayed by the device.

[2]: The Time base is crucial only for flow measurements and totalizers calculation. In

spite of Unit set above, it determines calculations for totalizes and flows according to /s (per second), /m (per minute) or /h (per hour) setting.

[3]: The resolution defines the number of decimal places in the displayed result. It is

unreasonable to set too high resolution for the measurement, because accuracy will not be improved (e.g. Pt100 sensor measurement set to three places after the decimal point will not provide for measurement accuracy of up to 0.001°C). However, if a filter is activated with sufficiently high time constant and if the resolution is reasonably increased, the changes can be identified more clearly.

[4]: The filter function “smoothes out” sudden surges in the measured values or

eliminates signal noise. If the filter time constant is too high, the measurement value fluctuations can be falsified by "smoothing out" the ascending and descending slopes, or by eliminating short pulses. The filter time constant should be customized to the maximum speed of changes in the measured process.

[5]: It enables on / off the archiving of the results to a file in internal archive memory.

DL2

[6]: The failure value is the constant value which is displayed instead of the measurement

result if the input signal fails or calculation result is out of range.

[7]: This option enables set the span of the scale displayed on the trend graph.

12.4.3 Alarm

Mode: Disabled (Disabled, Low, High) Type: Alarm (Control, Alarm) Level: [None] (text)

[3]

Hysteresis: [None] (text)

[2]

[4]

Colour: Disabled (Disabled, Green, Yellow, Red) Output:-- (--, A, B, M)

[6]

Log event: Disabled (Disabled, Enabled) Change the frequency of archiving: Disabled (Disabled, Enabled)

[1]: The threshold can be set to High (active above a specific level) or Low (active below

a specific level) operation mode.

[2]: Setting of the Type: Alarm (or so called latched mode) allows to indicate the alarm

notification with confirmation procedure. Type: Control (or so called non-latched mode) allows to indicate the threshold status or use relays outputs to set a simple on/off control (e.g. heating or cooling).

[3]: The alarm threshold level value is entered in the measured value units assigned. [4]: The hysteresis value is the difference between the threshold value exceedance and

return to normal. The threshold hysteresis value is entered in units of the measured value assigned to a specific measurement channel. For example, for a threshold set to High, 48 °C threshold level and 0.5 °C hysteresis means that the threshold will be exceeded above 48 °C, and will return to normal below 47.5 °C (48-0.5). For a threshold set to Low, -15 °C threshold level and 0.2°C hysteresis means the threshold will be exceeded below -15 °C, and will return to normal above -14.8 °C ( -(15-0.2)).

[5]: Each alarm/control threshold can have a colour assigned. If the threshold is

exceeded, the measurement result is displayed in a different colour: Green, Yellow or Red (assigned to this alarm).

[6]: The drop down list enables selecting a suitable module and output to which the used

output relay is connected.

[7]: Enabling the option switches on the archiving of the thresholds exceeded to the

event file.

[8]: The recording of measurement results can be controlled by alarm/control thresholds.

Two different recording speeds can be set. The exceeded threshold can switch from MAIN ARCHIVE interval I to MAIN ARCHIWE interval II.

DL2

All the settings of the individual channels may be copied and pasted to another measurement channel. Detailed information is given in section

Copying channel settings.

For some modules, the view of individual tabs may be slightly different from those described above.

12.4.4 Totalizers

Mode: Disabled (Disabled, Unresettable, Resettable, Daily, Weekly, Monthly) Unit: [None] (text) Multiplier: 1 (0.001, 1, 1000) Resolution: 0 (0, 0.0, 0.00, 0.000, 0.0000) Archiving: Disabled (Disabled, Enabled)

[1]: Each totaliser may be set in one of the six options: Disabled – values are not

counted, Unresettable – user cannot zero the totaliser, Resettable – user can zero the totaliser at any moment, Daily – the totaliser is erased every 24 hours, Weekly the totaliser is erased after the elapse of a week, Monthly - the totaliser is erased after the elapse of a month.

[2]: The unit is provided for reference purposes only. User can enter any unit which does

not affect the results displayed by the device.

[3]: The multiplier allows multiplication of the measurement results by one of the three

values selected from the list. For example, if a flow meter is connected to the device measuring the flow in m3/s and the user wants the result to be displayed in dm3/s, the multiplier should be set to 1000. In a reverse situation, when the measurement would be made in dm3/s and the user would like the values counted by the totaliser to be displayed in m3/s, the value of the multiplier should be set to 0.001.

[2]

[3]

[4]

[5]

[1]

CAUTION! It has to be remembered that the multiplier value does not determine the

displayed unit and vice versa.

[4]: The number of decimal places displayed. It has no effect on the calculation accuracy

and can be changed any time without affecting the totalizer status.

[5]: Enables on / off the totalizer archiving. Selecting the check-box is equivalent to

switching on the archiving.

12.5 Screen settings

'Screens' setting window enables setting display parameters in Result Tables window

and in Trends window. Switching between settings windows is possible by using tabs. Switching between individual setting of result tables/trends is possible by using drop down list, located in the upper left corner of the screen. Each tables/trends may have individual tag. Changing tab of table/trend is possible after pressing the current one in the Tag field.

In the case when for a specific trend/table the displayed value is not set, this

trend/table will not be displayed in the Results Table window and in the Trends window.

[4]

[1]: The archiving files are created in the daily, weekly and monthly system. [2]: The basic MAIN ARCHIVE time interval (I). Recording interval should correspond to

the measurement process. If the recording interval is too short, the large data volumes will make it difficult to analyse the results. If the recording interval is too long, rapid changes in the measured values cannot be identified.

[3]: The second MAIN ARCHIVE time interval (II) is used when the recording is controlled

by exceeded alarm/control thresholds (see section Alarm).

[4]: The time interval with which the totalizers data are saved in the archive.

Below, Process Values and Totalizers are displayed, switching between windows is possible by using tabs.

Process Values tab The window displays the current status of the process values recording. Gray rectangle means that the value is not archived, green means archiving.

Totalizers tab The window displays the current status of the totalizers recording. Each rectangle divided into two parts, represents both, Totaliser 1 and Totaliser 2, for every channel. Gray color means not archived, green means archived.

In the Archive window, only the information about the archive status is displayed. Turning archiving on and off for each channel is possible in the Channels settings window (more information in section Channels).

13.7.1 Copying archive files to USB flash memory

Connect the USB flash memory to the USB port in the front panel of the device. Click the button from the menu bar, then click the icon .

Process of deleting and copying files to USB is described in the USB section.

13.7.2 Copying archive files using device web server

Archive files can be copied using the device web server. Connect the device using the Ethernet connection and follow the instruction from section Web server.

DL2

The device performs calculations according to the order of operations (operations in brackets, exponentiation / extraction of a root, division / multiplication, addition / subtraction).

14 ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS 

14.1 Additional channel functions

14.1.1 Math channels

In order to set the calculation channel, choose from the menu bar the button and

then the channels icon . In the input tab, set the channel type: Computed and enter the formula which the value will be calculated.

The device allows to perform selected mathematical operations: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, raising to the power of 2 and 3 and the square root. The entered formula can contain up to 200 characters.

The value of another channel may be used in calculation. In this case, the channel number should be preceded by # sign.

For example:

 formula #1+#2 adds the values of the first and second channels.

In calculation of square root, the value is calculated of only first character after the √ mark. If the square root has to be calculated from the value of several channels, calculated value should be placed in brackets.

For example:

 formula √123 calculates the square root of 123,  formula √#1 calculates the square root of the value of channel 1,  formula √#1+#2 calculates the square root of channel 1 and to the

result adds the value of channel 2,

 formula √(#1+#2) calculates the square root of the sum of values

channels 1 and 2.

Similarly, in the case of exponentiation (the possibility of choosing the second and the third power), the value is calculated of only the first character entered before the 2 or 3 mark. If the value from several channels is raised to power 2 or 3, the calculated value should be put in brackets.

For example:

 formula 1232 raises the value of 123 to power 2,  formula #12 raises the value of channel 1 to the power of 2,  formula #1+#22 raises the value of channel 2 to the power of 2 and to

the result adds the value of channel 1,

 formula (#1+#2)2 raises to the power of 2 the value from the sum of

values of channels 1 and 2.

DL2

Fig. 14.1 Settings of math channels - entering the formula of the math channel.

Math channels have the same functions that allow analysis as measurement channels: they can be displayed in the Result Tables window, in the Trends window and in a single

result window. It is possible to set alarms (Alarms) and archive their values (Archive).

14.1.2 User characteristics

User characteristics are given in the form of a pair of points: the value of the measured resistance, current, voltage, etc. (x value) and the value displayed in the corresponding units (y value). The user has the ability to add (Add point), delete (Delete point), and edit (Edit value) points of the feature, with a minimum of 2 points and a maximum of 50. User has the ability to add up to 10 characteristics.

To add a new characteristic, in the Channel settings window, the user must select from the drop-down list the characteristics: User, then select one of the ten available positions and select View button. Changing the characteristic tag after clicking the current one in the Tag field.

New points can be added in any order, because they are automatically recognized and sorted relative to the measured value x. To delete a point, select it by clicking and then select Delete point button. You can edit points in the same way, using Edit Point button.

Fig. 14.2 An example view of the ‘Channel’ settings window (edition of user characteristics).
