1. About this manual

1.1 What this manual tells you

This manual tells you how to install, configure, operate, and service the instrument. In addition, some information is given to help you identify and correct some of the more common faults which may occur. However, since repairs are done by changing suspected faulty assemblies, fault-finding to board component level is not covered.

This manual assumes that all devices or peripherals to be connected to the 795x have their own documentatio n which tells you how to install and configure them. For this reason it is assumed that anything which you want to link to the 795x is already installed and working correctly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Since the instrument can be used for a wide variety of purposes, it is driven by software specially for your application. This manual gives information about the so ftw are which applie s to y our machine only .

Throughout this manual the term '795x' is used to refe r to al l members of the 795x family (7950 and 7951).

Chapter 1 About this manual

1.2 Who should use this manual

This manual is for anyone who installs, uses, services or repairs the 795x.

1.3 Software version covered by this manual

The software version dealt with in this manual is given on the title page. Chapter 3 tells you about the software is installed in your instrument.

2. Getting started

2.1 What this chapter tells you

If you are new to the Micro Motion® 7950 Signal Converter, the worked examples in this chapter can help you to become familiar with the installation and configuration procedures. The examples are:

• Example 1: 7950 with a 12 (See page 2.2)

• Example 2: 7950 with a 3098 Gas Specific Gravity (See page 2.6)

• Example 3: 7950 with a mA-type temperature transmitter (See page 2.9)

• Example 4: 7950 with a mA-type pressure transmitter (See page 2.12)

• Example 5: 7950 with a RTD-type temperature transmitter (See page 2.14)

Work through whichever one is most like your installation.

2.2 What the examples show you

Chapter 2 Getting started

Each example shows you how to:

• wire up a simple system

• set the DIP switches inside the 7950

• find the menu from which you start configuration

• clear the memory of details of any existing configuration (OPTIONAL)

• select the appropriate wizard to configure the simple system

• work through the wizard and button in information

• view the results of your configuration

The examples do not give full instructions on how to fit and configure installations. They are intended purely to give you confidence to install and configure your own equipment. Chapter 5 tells you how to make permanent installations.

2.3 If you need help...

If you get into difficulties... If you get into difficulties when using the wizards, you can abandon the configuration and start again as follows:

1. From the menu, keep selecting NO (usually by pressing the c-button) or, if that option is not available:

2. Press ENTER until you can start selecting NO.

3. Carry on with (1) and (2) until you return to the wizards menu where you started.

4. Start the worked example again. The configuration you abandoned is clear ed from the instrument’s

3.2 What the 7950 Dual Channel Gas Signal Converter does

The 7950 Gas Signal Converter is primarily used to convert signal s from one fo rma t to another. There is a need for this conversion when a system is unable to accept a raw signal from a transducer or, perhaps, some intermediate signal processing is required.

A common conversion is where a frequency input from a 7812 gas density transducer can be accepted by a 795x and then transmitted (by the same 795x) through an analogue output as a 4-20mA signal.

In this application, the 7950 can calcu late :

• Line density

• Specific gravity

• Base density

• Energy (Cv/m) (from AGA-5 method, or mA-type input)

Note: Dual channel measurements are available for Items marked with a

It can also obtain:

• Line temperature.

• Densitometer temperature.

• Density pressure.

• Atmospheric pressure.

• Percentage of CO

• Percentage of N

• Compressibility (from S-GERG, NX19, NX19mod or NX19 3h)

• Special equations 1 and 2.

3.3 Physical description of the 7950

The 7950 is a wall-mounted instrument housed in a one-piece case. The upper part of the instrument has a panel on which are mounted the keyboard and display. Below this, and stepped back slightly, is a terminal cover which, when removed allows access to the electrical connectors on the connector board inside the instrument. All wiring enters the case from underneath, through the gland plate which has to be drille d for the purpose.

The connector board is mounted vertically inside the back of the case. The microprocessor board is attached, by six screws and stand-offs, to the back of the keyboard and display.

The upper and lower parts of the instrument are separated by a horizontal metal plate (the screen) which helps to protect the instrument against electro-magnetic interference.

3.4 Communications

The 7950 can operate as a MODBUS slave. It can:

• Download a configuration from a PC, DCS, etc.

• Upload a configuration.

• Monitor random locations in the 7950.

• Interrogate the alarm and data logger buffers.

• Manipulate the alarm and data logger buffers.

• Set random locations with new data.

• Instigate printed reports.
