Programming the FDY

All operating parameters of the FDY are set using a PC, a serial communication cable and Moore Industries’ Intelligent PC Conﬁ guration software. When the PC Conﬁ guration program is loaded and running, most of the parameters for the connected transmitter are shown on a single screen. This makes it easy to determine which aspects of transmitter operation need to be changed to suit the application requirements.

Once the software settings are made, they are downloaded to the transmitter in the form of a conﬁ guration ﬁ le and stored in the non-volatile unit memory. You can choose to save a backup copy of the ﬁ le on your PC hard drive or external media.

Program the FDY by connecting the FDY to the PC, setting the appropriate parameters in the PC program, and downloading the conﬁ guration.

Connecting the FDY to the PC

The ﬁ rst step in conﬁ guring the FDY is connecting the transmitter to the PC program and attaching the appropriate input devices. Connect the FDY as shown in Figure 6 below; refer to Table 9 for a description of required equipment. After the FDY is conﬁ gured, you can begin programming the basic parameters.

Programming the Basic Parameters

Programming the Basic Parameters involves selecting the desired parameters in the PC Program, then downloading those parameters to the FDY. Begin by entering the device identiﬁ cation and measurement mode parameters into the conﬁ guration software.

Device Identiﬁ cation Information

The Tag (8 characters, maximum), Descriptor (16 characters, maximum) and Message (32 characters, maximum) boxes allow you to assign a unique identity to each FDY.

Measurement Mode

Select from Frequency, Period, Pulse Width High, Pulse Width Low and Contact Closure. This selects the variable to be measured and displayed. (Unless a custom EGU is selected in the Custom Curve tab.) (See Figure 5, section 4).

Programming the Input Parameters

When setting input parameters, please read the following information for guidance. All input voltages above 3V are internally clamped at 3V and all AC signals are squared and measured at the zero crossing. Therefore the settings for input threshold and hysteresis assume a maximum input of 3V.

Use the Input tab in Figure 7 to enter the following parameters:

AC / DC Input: Select the type of input the FDY will measure.

Input Threshold: Input threshold is applicable to DC inputs only. Input Threshold is the input voltage above which the input is considered high. For input voltages above 3V, it is recommended to set this to the default setting of 2V (maximum is 2.5V). For input voltages below 3V, it is recommended to set this to 2/3 of the peak-to peak (p-p) input signal voltage plus the low state signal voltage.

Input Hysteresis: This is the difference between high and low voltage points at which the input circuit detects changes of input state. For DC inputs this must be less than the threshold. For example, if the threshold is set for 2V, and the hysteresis is set for 1.2V, the FDY will detect high for >2V and low for <0.8V.

- For DC input voltages above 3V, it is recommended to set this to the default setting of

1.2V (maximum is 1.5V).

- For DC input voltages below 3V, it is recommended to set this to 1/3 of the peak-to peak (p-p) input signal voltage plus the low state signal voltage.

- For AC inputs the hysteresis is used to minimise noise interference. Above 3V, it is recommended to set this to 150mV.

- For AC inputs below 3V, it is recommended to set this to 10% of the signal voltage level.

Figure 7. Input Parameters Tab

10 The Interface Solution Experts

Timeout Period: The number of seconds that the input will remain at lower range value before the FDY declares a hardware error, if the Fail On Input Timeout box is checked. The Timeout Period can be conﬁ gured at minimum of 0.5sec to a maximum of 600sec, factory default is set to 10sec.

NOTE:

The timeout period must be set greater than the

Lower Range Value period if Fail On Input Time-out is

enabled.

Fail On Input Timeout: If your input is lower than the allowed Lower Range Value and the Fail On Input Timeout feature is enabled, Broken Wire (in the Device Status section of the PC Program) or Broke Input (on

the FDY display) is declared after the set Timeout Period has passed.

Page 11

FDY

PC-Programmable Frequency

Transmitter and Display

NOTE:

If the Lower Range Value is set to 0Hz in the Input

Range the Fail On Input Time-out feature will not be

available, the Lower Range Value must be set to a value greater than zero to enable this feature (box

must be checked to apply feature) .

Low Pass Filter Enable: Reduces noise by ﬁ ltering out

high frequency signals.

NOTE:

Moore Industries recommends having the Low-Pass

ﬁ lter turned on when the upper input range value is

less than 150Hz (especially on the 10VAC - 250VAC

units).

Averaging Filter: Shows the number of readings

the FDY averages together to provide the displayed reading. This can be used to compensate for bent blades in a monitored turbine by setting the value to equal the number of blades on the turbine. (i.e. if the turbine has four blades, set the Averaging Filter to 4).

Minimum Debounce Period: Available only when contact closure is selected in measurement mode. This value eliminates noise from a contact closure input, but lowers the maximum measurable frequency.

You are given the option of scaling your process variable reading. To do this, click the Enabled check box in the Scaling section. Scaling allows you to take your process variable and manipulate the reading to a more customized range.

• In the Upper Scaling Value text box, enter the value you wish displayed when your input is at its full range. Repeat the step for the value you wish displayed when your input is at its zero value and enter that into the Lower Scaling Value box.

At the Scaled Mode Display Label box, enter the speciﬁ c EGU (Engineering Unit) that you want as your display.

• The Range Limits section allows you to designate when the input will be considered bad (over or under range). For example, if you have set the

Lower Range Value for 20, you can set the Under Range for 10 and check the Enable box, allowing

the input to decrease below 10Hz before an error is registered. In this case, the display shows

Under/Over range, and the output is in Failure Mode (see Programming Output Parameters).

Figure 8. Range Parameters Tab

After selecting the input parameters, continue by clicking the Range tab and proceeding to the Programming the Range Parameters section.

Programming the Range Parameters

The Range tab permits you to set or capture the acceptable input range and establish range limits.

• Use the Lower Range Value cell to set the input value that will correspond to a 4mA output. In the same way, use the Upper Range Value to set the input value that corresponds to a 20mA output.

• Reverse the output (causing the output to increase as the input decreases) by setting the Lower Range Value higher than the Upper Range Value.

• The Capture Lower Range and Capture Upper Range buttons permit you to trim the upper and lower range of the sensor (if necessary). Just click the appropriate button to begin trimming.

PC-Programmable Frequency Transmitter and Display

Programming the Output Parameters

The Output section of the PC software is composed of three sections: Output Settings, Failure Mode and Display Mode. Use the functions of Output Settings to set the current range from 3.8 to 21.6mA (usually 4-20mA). The minimum span is 4mA.

Figure 9. Output Parameters Tab

Output Settings

The output can be reversed (causing the output to increase as the input decreases) by setting the Lower

Range Value in the Range tab as higher than the Upper Range Value (See Figure 8).

PV (Primary Variable) Damping precisely reads the

input then speciﬁ es an exponential change in the output by 60% over the time set in the PV Damping box. This reduces the effect of sudden spikes and helps stop unnecessary alarms by smoothing the reading.

Failure Mode

Failure Mode lets you set the output of the transmitter when it is malfunctioning. It will either transmit a 3.6mA (set to Fail Low) or a 23.6mA (set to Fail High) signal.

NOTE:

The Failure Mode has no effect unless one of the fail

conditions is active (i.e. Fail On Input Time-out or Over/

Under Range Limits).

Display Mode

Display Mode selects which variable will be displayed on the transmitter’s display. Choose between Primary Variable, Current, Percentage and Display Toggle. (Display Toggle switches back and forth from the primary variable to current and back in one-second increments). The PC Program’s display is not changed by changing the selection under the Display Mode.

After the Range parameters have been selected, you can continue on by clicking on the Trimming tab, and proceeding to Programming the Trimming Parameters.

Transmitter and Display

Programming the Trimming Parameters

The Trimming tab includes Sensor (Input) Trimming, Output Trimming and Loop Test functions.

Figure 10. Trimming Parameters Tab

Sensor Trimming

Sensor Trimming increases the measured accuracy of your transmitter by matching the reading of its actual input to either a calibrated source or the master device to which it is transmitting. This causes the FDY’s process variable and output to match its input.

Most transmitters can only trim at the 0% and 100% points of the scale, but the FDY can trim any point along the scale. Note that one-point trimming applies an offset to the sensor reading, while two-point trimming applies both an offset and gain.

Before you attempt to trim the FDY, ensure that the correct sensor is attached to the transmitter, then go to the Trimming tab as shown at the left, and:

1. Select the User radio button under Trim Mode, then answer Ye s to the “Please conﬁ rm that you want to do this” prompt.

2. Select one or two trim points by clicking the appropriate button under Trim Points.

3. Enter the value you want to trim into the Set Value box under Point 1 and click Set. Apply the value you entered in the Set Value section to the FDY. Click on the Trim Pt 1 button. This matches the signal from the sensor to the ﬁ rst point you selected.

4. If you selected two trim points, enter the second value that you want to trim into the Set Value box under Point 2 and click Set. Then apply the value you entered in the Point 2 box to the FDY. Click on the Trim Pt 2 button. This matches the signal from the sensor to the second point you selected.

5. You have now ﬁ nished trimming your sensor and can continue on to Output Trimming.

PC-Programmable Frequency Transmitter and Display

Output Trimming

Output Trimming increases the accuracy of your transmitter by matching the reading of its recorded output to its actual output. Essentially, this means that it will eliminate any error in the unit that is reading the FDY’s output.

To start trimming the output, hook-up the transmitter in the loop shown in Figure 6, and connect either a multimeter (preferably), or the unit that will be reading the FDY’s signal to the transmitter’s output.

1. Click the Fix Current Low button. This should cause the FDY to output 4mA. If it is outputting a different value, enter the value that the FDY is outputting (in mA) into the Output Current box, then click Trim Low.

2. Check what your multimeter displays as the transmitters output. If it is still not precisely 4mA, enter it into the Output Current box again and clickTrim Low again. Repeat until your multimeter displays an acceptable reading.

3. When you are ﬁ nished, click Un-Fix Current. After doing this, the output will still be trimmed, but the output will no longer be ﬁ xed at 4mA.

Loop Test

Use the Loop Test to trim other instruments in the loop.

1. To begin the loop test, enter the mA value you want the FDY to output to the Loop into the Loop Test text box. Click Fix.

2. Monitor the effect of this on the other instruments in the loop, and adjust accordingly.

3. If necessary, repeat steps 1 and 2 and enter a different value in the Output Current box.

4. When you are ﬁ nished, click Unﬁ x.

After the trimming parameters have been selected, you can continue on by either downloading the conﬁ guration or clicking the Custom Curve tab, and proceeding to the Programming the Custom Curve Parameters section.

4. Continue by clicking the Fix Current High button. This should cause the FDY to output 20mA. If the output is a different value, enter it into the Output Current box, then click Trim High.

5. Check what your multimeter displays as the transmitters output. If it is still not precisely 20mA, enter it into the Output Current again and click Trim High again. Repeat until your multimeter displays an acceptable reading.

Programming the Custom Curve Parameters

The Custom Curve section of the conﬁ guration software allows you to setup your own custom curve table with up to 128 points. In effect, this allows you to tell the transmitter what it should output when it receives a certain input. Use the Custom Curve tab for customizing the display’s engineering units, reversing the output, signal limiting and creating custom curves.

Figure 11. Custom Curve Parameters Tab

Follow these directions to setup your custom curve table:

1. Check the Enabled box in the Custom Curve section. Click the Set button and wait for the transmitter to ﬁ nish downloading the information.

2. Input the Lower Range and the Upper Range into the appropriate boxes. The point you enter in the Lower Range will become the zero point of the transmitter, and the transmitter will send out a 4mA signal (or the selected output signal, if the zero output is set at a value other than 4mA) when this point is reached. Likewise, the point you enter into the Upper Range will cause the transmitter to output 20mA (or full output signal, if different) when that point is reached.

3. Enter the desired engineering unit into the Display EGU label box. This will control what type of engineering unit (up to 5 alphanumeric characters, excluding symbols) is displayed by the Conﬁ guration Software and on the FDY’s display.

4. Click Set to download all of the information to the transmitter.

NOTE:

“Read” will upload the information from the transmitter

to the conﬁ guration program. This can be used to

take the last table that you have downloaded to the

transmitter and enter it into the PC Conﬁ guration

Software.

5. Click Edit Table to begin creating your own custom curve table (see next page for instructions).

IMPORTANT:

Once you enable the custom curve, you must edit the

table in order for your transmitter to work properly.

Editing the Custom Curve Table

To edit custom table points, click Edit Table in the Custom Curve tab, then follow the directions below.

1. If you have already written a custom table in Microsoft® Excel (and saved it in a .csv format) or in our PC Conﬁ guration Software, you can open it from the Edit Table menu. Go to File (at the top, left corner of the screen, on the command bar), and click Open, then select the appropriate ﬁ le.

2. If you have NOT already written a custom table, begin writing one by clicking the Edit Table button and selecting the number of points you would like to deﬁ ne. Do this in the Number of Points section.

3. Make sure that the Custom Curve Enabled box is checked. If not, check it and click the Set button.

4. Fill in the values in the X and Y columns. X is the input column–it represents the value that is input into the FDY. Y is the output column–it represents the value (in engineering units) that the transmitter will output when the value in the X column is input. It is also the value that will be displayed in the PC Software and on the FDY display. If an input falls in between two X values, then the output will be scaled to match the percentage difference between the two X points.

5. When you have ﬁ lled in all of the custom curve points, click Download. This will download the information from the PC Conﬁ guration Software to the transmitter. If you later want to retrieve the ﬁ le from the transmitter to the PC Conﬁ guration Software, you can reattach the transmitter and click Upload. You are now done conﬁ guring your custom table, and if you have made changes to other parts of the conﬁ guration program, you are ready to download the conﬁ guration ﬁ le.

Downloading the Conﬁ guration File

After the conﬁ guration has been set to your satisfaction, it can be downloaded to the unit by selecting Download from the Transfer Menu or by pressing the Download button ( ) on the status bar. Downloading the conﬁ guration displayed in the PC program overwrites the unit’s current conﬁ guration.

Downloading the conﬁ guration to the FDY may take up to 30 seconds to complete. It is important to let the sequence ﬁ nish before taking any other action.

Once completed, the Device Conﬁ guration portion of the screen (in the bottom-left corner) will change to match the conﬁ guration listed on the rest of the screen. The status indicator in the top left hand corner of the view will then indicate the program has reverted back to its idle mode.

Installing the FDY

Moore Industries suggests installing the FDY by ﬁ rst mounting the unit in its intended application, then making the electrical connections to input, output and power.

Mounting

The FDY is built in a HP housing and can be shipped with one of our durable ﬁ eld-mount enclosures, such as the BH or D-BOX. Use the BH for tough, explosionproof protection, or the D-BOX for areas where you need durable, reliable protection for your display. The FDY is also versatile enough to be mounted on a surface, relay track, pipe or inside one of our ﬁ eld enclosures.

Electrical Connections

The connections for the various single FDY inputs are shown in the following diagram.

Recommended Ground Wiring Practices

Moore Industries recommends the following ground wiring practices:

• Any Moore Industries product in a metal case or

housing should be grounded.

• The protective earth conductor must be connected

to a system safety earth ground before making any other connections.

• All input signals to, and output signals from,

Moore Industries’ products should be wired using a shielded, twisted pair wiring technique. Shields should be connected to an earth or safety ground.

• For the best shielding, the shield should be run

all the way from the signal source to the receiving device. (see Note below)

• The maximum length of unshielded input and

output signal wiring should be 2 inches.

Note:

Some of Moore Industries’ instruments can be

classiﬁ ed as receivers (IPT2, IPX2, etc.) and

some can be classiﬁ ed as transmitters (TRX,

TRY, etc.) while some are both a receiver

and a transmitter (SPA

your shield ground connections should be

appropriate for the type of signal line being

shielded. The shield should be grounded at

the receiver and not at the signal source.

, HIM, etc). Hence,

Customer Service

If service assistance is ever required for one of the FDYs in your application, refer to the back cover of this manual for the telephone numbers to Moore Industries STAR Center customer service department.

If possible, make a note of the model number of the offending unit before calling. For fastest assistance, try to gather information on the unit(s) serial number and the job and purchase order number under which it was shipped.
