INTRODUCTION

The FieldLogger is a high-resolution and high-speed data acquisition and logging equipment for analog and digital signals. The result of an advanced technological development, the product is distinguished in diverse aspects, such as high-performance, high-connectivity and ease of configuration and operation. This technology is presented as the ideal solution for applications that require flexibility and functionality for diverse communication networks.
Its main features include:
• Analog inputs: 8
• Digital inputs/outputs: 8
• Relay outputs: 2
• 2 MB internal memory
• SD Card interface (up to 16 GB – not availa ble in some mod els)
• RS485 interface
o Main: Modbus RTU master and slave o Auxiliary (DB9 connector – not available in some models): Modbus RTU slave
• Ethernet services (not available in some models):
o DHCP o HTTP (web page) o FTP (client and server) o SMTP (e-mails sending) o SNMP o Modbus TCP
• USB:
o Host
o Device
• HMI (human-machine interface – optional)
There are four input channel types in the FieldLogger: analog, digita l, remote and vi rtual. Analog and digital channels are those acquired directly by FieldLogger through their respective inputs. The remote channels are those acquired through Modbus RTU protocol, operating as master on its RS485 interface. Virtual channels are a special type of input channel where mathematical operations can be carried out, allowing the calculation of complex formulas from the measured information.
The analog input channels are configurable for reading voltage, current, thermocouples, Pt100 and Pt1000 signals. These inputs count on the precision of a 24 bit A/D converter with high acquisition speed, which can reach 1000 sam ples per second. The digital channels can be configured individually as inputs or outputs.
The Ethernet interface allows data download and data access of the inputs and outputs, through services that can be individually enabled and configured. Through a web browser (HTTP), one can visualize the data of the enabled channel, diagnostics and general information of the FieldLogger. FTP client can be used for logging data downloads. FieldLogger can identify up to 32 distinct alarm conditions, allowing the triggering of outputs, sending e-mails or SNMP traps whenever an alarm condition is detected. All the information relative to the variables, status and diagnostics of the FieldLogger are available in Modbus registers that can be accessed through the Modbus TCP interface or the Modbus RTU interface available either through USB interface (device) or RS485 (when operating as slave).
The USB Interface device is used for connection to a computer for configuration, monitoring or download. Whereas th e USB interface host is used for connection of a USB flash drive, for data downloading from the loggi ng mem ory .
The data logging memory can be transferred by any of the interfaces to the configuration software, which allows the exportation for the most diverse data formats.
When the indication of the measured data from the process is necessary, an exclusive color graphical display HMI (Human-Machine Interface) can be attached or installed remotely (optional).

INSTALLING THE USB DRIVER

Windows 8 (64 bits) does not allow the installation of drivers that are not “digitally signed” by Microsoft.
When installing the configuration software, the USB driver is automatically installed. If you need to install the driver without depending on the software, this can be done by following the procedure described below.
Thus, before installing the USB drivers of the FieldLogger, the following script should be followed:
1. During the boot, you should press the F8 key to enter the Start-up Configurations.
2. Pressing the F7 key, you can disable the Imposition of the Driver Signature.
3. Windows 8 will now allow you to install the USB driver for FieldLogger.
The following installation steps may vary from PC to PC, even for the same operating system version. The steps and screens that follow below are only for guidance purposes.

WINDOWS 7

1. Connect FieldLogger in a USB port on your computer. Windows will try to install a driver automatically and will not succeed, because the necessary driver is not in its standar d librar y .
2. Click on "Start>> Control Panel". Click on "System" and, later on, on the "Device Manager".
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 16/103
3. Locate the FieldLogger (probably with an icon with an exclamation mark next to it) and double-click on it.
4. Click on the button "Update Driver...".
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 17/103
5. Ask to "Browse my computer for driver software".
6. Enter the path of the folder where the drivers are located (the product CD or folder where you saved them when downloaded from the site.)
7. Wait for the installation to take start.
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 18/103
8. Windows will indicate that it cannot verify the editor of this driver. Confirm to install anyw ay!
9. A message indicating successful installation will display.
10. Returning to the Device Manager screen, you can check which virtual serial port is allocated to the FieldLogger.
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 19/103

DEFINITION AND SELECTION OF SE RIAL PORT (COM) - WINDOWS

The serial port associated with FieldLogger is automatically defined by the operating system a few moments after connecting the FieldLogger. The user can easily identify or change the COM port associated with FieldLogger:
Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager / COM & LPT Ports
Select the device "USB Serial Port" corresponding to the FieldLogger and click on "Properties". Select "Port Settings" guide and click on "Advanced". In the "COM Port Number", select the serial port to be associated with FieldLogger. Some serial ports can be checked while being used (In Use). Just select one of these ports if you know that it is not being used by another peripheral device on your computer .
In some cases, the serial ports can be checked as in use even when the associated device is no longer installed on your computer. In this case it is safe to associate this port to FieldLogger. The following figure presents the view of the device manager containing a FieldLogger, and the screens showing the property screens where you can reset the associated COM port.
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 20/103

CONFIGURATION AND DATA DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE

The configuration software (Configurator) allows you to configure FieldLogger, download and export logging data and read input channels and status information. This chapter is intended to show and explain software usage. The use of FieldLogger with all its features will be detailed in the chapter "FieldLogger Operation”.
On the main screen, you should choose the function that you want to run, as it is shown below:
• Configuration: Allows you to change the FieldLogger configuration.
• Diagnostics: Allows you to read the values of the enabled channels, the status of configured alarms and general
information and device status.
• Download: Allows you to perform data download of FieldLogger logging memory, view and export them in various formats.
• Preferences: It allows modifying some software options.
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 21/103

CONFIGURATION

On the configuration screen, you can select one of the following options, as they are described below:
• Read Configuration: Rea ds th e current conf iguration of a FieldLogger.
• New Configuration: Creates a configuration from the scratch.
• Open Configuration: Loads the previously configuration saved to a file.
If the chosen option was to create a new configuration, you must specify a file where this configuration will be saved. Besides that, from software version 1.40 on, you must select which FieldLogger model you are about to configure (power – normal or 24 V – does not care on this case):
• Complete model, with Ethernet, USB, expansible memory using an SD Card and a second RS485 interface
ready to accept an optional HMI.
• Model with USB but no Ethernet, non-expansible memory (internal flash only – no SD Card) and only one
RS485 interface.
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 22/103
Once the configuration has been loaded into the software (originated from a device, a file, or simply created from the scratch, according to the selected option), then one should make the desired configuration. For this, there is a sequence of screens with various parameters arranged by functionality.
Each time you try to move onto the next screen (via the "Next" button), a check of the configured parameters is done. In case there is any problem with any parameter, an error window is displayed and the symbol " ” shows up next to the
field that may not be consistent with other previous settings. The icon bar at the bottom of the window has icons for the following functions, as they are described below:
• Back: It allows coming back to the previous configuration screen.
• Save: Saves the current configuration to a file. If a file has not yet been associated with this configuration, it
opens a dialog screen for the user to choose the name and location of the file.
• Connection: Allows the connection to the equipment (opens a window for the interface selection) when it is
disconnected and the disconnection when it is connected.
• Load Screen Initial Configuration: Undo the changes introduced by the user, returning to the initial configuration
of the current screen.
• Cancel: Closes the current configuration.
• Next: Performs the settings check of the current configuration screen and, if everything is OK, goes to the next
screen.

NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 23/103

GENERAL CONFIGURATIONS

The first screen shows some general parameters of configuration for the FieldLogger:
• Tag (name) to be given to the equipment (maximum of 16 characters).
• When using a HMI with the FieldLogger, please indicate the level of access that the operator will get through the
HMI:
o No HMI access: Prevents the use of the HMI, because no parameter can be viewed by it in this
FieldLogger.
o Parameters reading: HMI can be used only to view the channels and status of the FieldLogger, not
allowing any type of configuration.
o HMI configuration and overall reading: HMI can have its own parameters configured, besides viewing
the channels and status of the FieldLogger.
o Overall configuration and reading: HMI can be used to configure parameters (its own and some of
FieldLogger), in addition to viewing the channels and status of the FieldLogger.
• Enabling data download by using a USB flash drive: it enables or disables the data download by using a USB flash drive. When enabled, it also indicates the priority in case of a USB flash drive without enough space to download all demanded data: more recent data or older data. In addition, you can configure the number of days (from the day of download, if the priority is the latest, or from the oldest data, if the priority is the oldest) that you want to download. Becau se of the fact that we do not make a copy of all data from the equipment’s memory (which, in the case of SD cards, can be a lot of data), this can accelerate download time significantly.
General Configurations
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 24/103

RS485 INTERFACE CONFIGURATION

Next configuration screen is the RS485 Interface screen. On this screen, you should choose the type of behavior of this interface: whether it will be a Modbus RTU slave, a Modbus RTU master or it shall not be used at all. It is recommended to disable the interface if it is not used.
When it is used as a slave, you must configure your Modbus address, the baud rate, parity and number of stop bits. When it is used as a master, it is not necessary to configure the Modbus address (only valid for the slaves). Moreover, in
this case, the configuration of Modbus network, where it says which registers are read from what slaves, will be carried through later on, on the Remote Channels screen.
Interface RS485
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 25/103

ETHERNET INTERFACE CONFIGURATION

The configuration of the Ethernet interface should be carried through on the next screen. If it is desired not to use this interface, it is recommended to disable it, as shown in the following figure.
Disabled Ethernet Interface
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 26/103
ETHERNET INTERFACE CONFIGURATION - TCP/IP
Once the interface is enabled, the buttons on the left allow you to enable and configure each of the services offered by this interface. The icon on the right of each button shows whether the related service is enabled or not.
The first configuration to be made is the selection of using fixed IP or DHCP and, in the case of fixed IP, to choose the parameters relating to it, such as FieldLogger IP, the subnet mask and default gateway.
Moreover, we must choose whether or not to use DNS, which can be used to connect to the e-mail server or FTP server (when FieldLogger is the FTP client for the daily download of data through this service). If so, you must configure the DNS server's IP number or, if the DHCP option has been selected, you can choose to search for the DNS server’s IP from the DHCP server.
Ethernet Interface - TCP/IP Configuration
NOVUS AUTOMATION www.fieldlogger.net 27/103
ETHERNET INTERFACE CONFIGURATION – FTP
The FTP button allows you to configure the options related to the FTP services. There are two types of FTP related functionality to choose from in the FieldLogger: client and server.
As a server, FieldLogger allows for an external client to connect to it in order to download logged data, both from the SD card as well as from the internal memory. For this, you must configure the connection and access data, like user name (maximum of 10 characters), password (maximum of 10 characters) a nd port for the con ne c tion.
As a client, it can automatically connect to an FTP server to send data from its logging memory (internal or SD card). This can either be done once a day at a set time, or many times a day (from firmware version 1.50 on) in a configurable time interval. This way, you must configure the access parameters so FieldLogger will be able to access the server, like user (maximum of 50 characters) and password (maximum of 10 characters), in addition to the IP address or server name (in case you enabled the DNS – name being up to 50 characters) and the server’s port. Besides that, since firmware version 1.40, you can configure the format of the file created by the download: binary (standard) or CSV (comma separated value) and also select the option that deletes the logging files after the download (valid only when logging into an SD card).

ETHERNET INTERFACE CONFIGURATION - SMTP
The SMTP button opens the parameters related to sending e-mails. The FieldLogger allows, in situations of alarm or event, e-mails to be sent to multiple receivers. On this screen, the parameters related to the access to the e-mail server must be configured, such as its IP address or server name (in case you enabled the DNS – name being up to 50 characters), in addition to the user ( max imum of 50 characters) and password (maximum of 12 characters).
Finally, you must configure the parameters of the e-mail to be sent in case of an alarm event. Th is e-mail has a subject (maximum of 32 characters) and has a part of the message body that is user defined (up to 64 characters) and that is the same for all alarms or events. The e-mail of the sender (maximum of 50 characters) and the e-mails of the receivers (maximum of 50 characters for each one) must als o be configured.
Ethernet Interface - SMTP Configuration
ETHERNET INTERFACE CONFIGURATION - E-MAIL RECEIVERS
For the insertion of the of e-mail receivers, you should click on the button "Edit Lis t". A new window will open, allowing for the inclusion and removal of e-mails from the receivers list. All potential receivers of alarm or event e-mails must be included in this window. The decision of which alarms or events will be sent to which receivers will be made later, on alarms configuration screen!
