GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Digital Input Panel Meters offer many features and performance
capabilities to suit a wide range of industrial applications. Available in three
different models, DPF92 Counter/Dual Counter, DPF91 Rate Meter and the
DPF93 which offers both counting and rate in the same package. Refer to pages
5 - 6 for the details on the specific models. The DPF92 and DPF91 offer only the
Setpoint Option, while the DPF93 is the fully featured version offering all the
capabilities as outlined in this bulletin as well as a slave display feature. The
optional plug-in output cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for
present applications, while providing easy upgrades for future needs.
The meters employ a bright 0.56" LED display. The meters are available with
a red sunlight readable or standard green LED display. The intensity of the
display can be adjusted from dark room applications up to sunlight readable,
making it ideal for viewing in bright light applications.
The meters accept digital inputs from a variety of sources including switch
contacts, outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits, magnetic pickups and all
standard sensors. The meter can accept directional, uni-directional or Quadrature
signals simultaneously. The maximum input signal varies up to 34 KHz
depending on the count mode and function configurations programmed. Each
input signal can be independently scaled to various process values.
The Rate Meters provide a MAX and MIN reading memory with programmable
capture time. The capture time is used to prevent detection of false max or min
readings which may occur during start-up or unusual process events.
The meters have four setpoint outputs, implemented on Plug-in option cards.
The Plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays (5A), quad FORM-A (3A), or
either quad sinking or quad sourcing open collector logic outputs. The setpoint
alarms can be configured to suit a variety of control and alarm requirements.
Communication and Bus Capabilities are also available as option cards for
the DPF93 only. These include RS232 and RS485. Readout values and setpoint
alarm values can be controlled through the bus. Additionally, the meters have a
feature that allows a remote computer to directly control the outputs of the
meter. With an RS232 or RS485 card installed, it is possible to configure the
meter using Omega’s DP6-SOFT software. The configuration data can be saved
to a file for later recall.
A linear DC output signal is available as an optional Plug-in card for the DPF93
only. The card provides either 20 mA or 10 V signals. The output can be scaled
independent of the input range and can track any of the counter or rate displays.
Once the meters have been initially configured, the parameter list may be
locked out from further modification in its entirety or only the setpoint values
can be made accessible.
The meters have been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments.
With NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing of noise effects to CE
requirements, the meter provides a tough yet reliable application solution.
SAFETY SUMMARY

WIRING OVERVIEW
Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the
back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and
current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good
installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power
supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.
When wiring the meter, compare the numbers embossed on the back of the
meter case against those shown in wiring drawings for proper wire position.
Strip the wire, leaving approximately 0.3" (7.5 mm) bare lead exposed (stranded
wires should be tinned with solder.) Insert the lead under the correct screwclamp terminal and tighten until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify
tightness.) Each terminal can accept up to one #14 AWG (2.55 mm) wire, two
#18 AWG (1.02 mm), or four #20 AWG (0.61 mm).
EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Although this meter is designed with a high degree of immunity to ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods must be
followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical
noise, source or coupling method into the meter may be different for various
installations. The meter becomes more immune to EMI with fewer I/O
connections. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very important
and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome installation.
Listed below are some EMC guidelines for successful installation in an
industrial environment.
1. The meter should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly
connected to protective earth.
2. Use shielded (screened) cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield
(screen) pigtail connection should be made as short as possible. The
connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application.
Listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in order
of their effectiveness.
a. Connect the shield only at the panel where the unit is mounted to earth
ground (protective earth).
b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when
the noise source frequency is above 1 MHz.
c. Connect the shield to common of the meter and leave the other end of the
shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.
3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC
power lines, conductors feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and
heaters, etc. The cables should be ran in metal conduit that is properly
grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long
and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation
is near a commercial radio transmitter.
4. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far as possible
from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.
5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression
devices, such as ferrite suppression cores, is effective. Install them on Signal
and Control cables as close to the unit as possible. Loop the cable through the
core several times or use multiple cores on each cable for additional
protection. Install line filters on the power input cable to the unit to suppress
power line interference. Install them near the power entry point of the
enclosure. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are
recommended:
Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables:
Note: Reference manufacturer’s instructions when installing a line filter.
6. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.
7. Switching of inductive loads produces high EMI. Use of snubbers across
inductive loads suppresses EMI.

4.3 INPUT WIRING
CAUTION: Sensor input common is NOT isolated from user input common. In order to preserve the safety of the meter application, the sensor input
common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective earth ground potential. If not,
hazardous voltage may be present at the User Inputs and User Input Common terminals. Appropriate considerations must then be given to the potential
of the user input common with respect to earth ground; and the common of the isolated plug-in cards with respect to input common.
If you are wiring Input B, connect signal to Terminal 6 instead of 5, and set DIP switches 4, 5, and 6 to the positions shown for 1, 2, and 3.

PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (PAR KEY)
The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters can be
programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by pressing the
PAR key. If it is not accessible then it is locked by either a security code, or a
hardware lock.
Two types of programming modes are available. Quick Programming Mode
permits only certain parameters to be viewed and/or modified. All meter
functions continue to operate except the front panel keys change to Programming
Mode Operations. Quick Programming Mode is configured in Module 3. Full
Programming Mode permits all parameters to be viewed and modified. In this
mode, incoming counts may not be recognized correctly, the front panel keys
change to Programming Mode Operations and certain user input functions are
disabled. Throughout this document, Programming Mode (without Quick in
front) always refers to “Full” Programming.
MODULE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
The Programming Menu is organized into nine modules. These modules group
together parameters that are related in function. The display will alternate between
and the present module. The arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used to select
the desired module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the PAR key.
MODULE MENU (PAR KEY)
Each module has a separate module menu (which is shown at the start of each
module discussion). The PARkey is pressed to advance to a particular parameter
to be changed, without changing the programming of preceding parameters.
After completing a module, the display will return to . Programming may
continue by accessing additional modules.
SELECTION / VALUE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
For each parameter, the display alternates between the present parameter and
the selections/value for that parameter. The arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used
to move through the selections/values for that parameter. Pressing the PAR key,
stores and activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter
to the next parameter.
For numeric values, the RST key may be used to select a specific digit to be
changed. Once a digit is selected, the arrow keys are used to increment or
decrement that digit to the desired number.
* Only accessible with appropriate plug-in card.
PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (DSP KEY or at PAR KEY)
The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the DSP key (from anywhere
in the Programming Mode) or the PAR key (with displayed). This will
commit any stored parameter changes to memory and return the meter to the
Display Mode. If a parameter was just changed, the PAR key should be pressed
to store the change before pressing the DSP key. (If power loss occurs before
returning to the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)
PROGRAMMING TIPS
It is recommended to start with Module 1 for counting and Module 4 for rate.
If lost or confused while programming, press the DSP key and start over. When
programming is complete, it is recommended to record the parameter
programming on the Parameter User Chart and lock out parameter programming
with a user input or lock-out code.
FACTORY SETTINGS
Factory Settings may be completely restored in Module 9. This is a good
starting point for programming problems.
ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY
In the explanation of the modules, the following dual display with arrows will
appear. This is used to illustrate the display alternating between the parameter
on top and the parameter’s Factory Setting on the bottom. In most cases,
selections and values for the parameter will be listed on the right.

8 DIGIT COUNT VALUES
Any counter display value below -99999 or above 999999 (less decimal
point) will consist of a two part display. This display alternates between the
least 6 significant digits and the remaining most significant digits beginning
with “” in the display. If the display exceeds ± 99999999 the display will roll
to zero and continue counting. Outputs cannot be set to counter values above 6
digits. The annunciator, indicating the counter being displayed, will flash when
the value is above 6 digits.
SCALING CALCULATIONS
Each counter has the ability to scale an input signal to a desired display
value. This is accomplished by the counter mode (x-), scale factor (x),
scale multiplier (x) and decimal point (x). The scale factor is
calculated using:
SF (x) = Desired Display Decimal DDD
(Number of pulses per ‘single’ unit x CM x SM)
6.2 MOdule 2 - user inpuTand frOnT panel funCTiOn KeyparaMeTers ()
PARAMETER MENU
Module 2 is the programming for rear terminal user inputs and front panel
function keys.
Three rear terminal user inputs are individually programmable to perform
specific meter control functions. While in the Display Mode, the function is
executed when the user input transitions to the active state. (Refer to the user
input specifications for active state response times.) Certain user input functions
are disabled in “full” Programming Mode.
Three front panel function F1, F2 and RST keys are also individually
programmable to perform specific meter control functions. While in the Display
Mode, the primary function is executed when the key is pressed. Holding the
F1 and F2 function keys for three seconds executes a secondary function. It is
possible to program a secondary function without a primary function. The front
panel key functions are disabled in both Programming Modes.
In most cases, if more than one user input and/or function key is programmed
for the same function, the maintained (level trigger) actions will be performed
while at least one of those user inputs or function keys are activated. The
momentary (edge trigger) actions are performed every time any of those user
inputs or function keys transition to the active state. All functions are available
to both user inputs and function keys.
Some of the user functions have a sublist of parameters. The sublist is
accessed when PAR is pressed at the listed function. The function will only be
performed for the parameters entered as . If a user input or function key is
configured for a function with a sublist, then that sublist will need to be scrolled
through each time to access the following user inputs or function keys
parameters.
NO FUNCTION
With this selection, NO function is performed. This is the factory setting for
all user inputs and function keys except the Reset (RST) Key.
NOTE: When a user input is used to accept a quad or directional input
signal, then that user input should be programmed for NO function.
EXCHANGE PARAMETER LISTS
Two lists of values are available for , , , , , ,
, , , . The two lists are named and .
If a user input is used to select the list then is selected when the user
input is not active and and is selected when the user input is active,
(maintained action). If a front panel key is used to select the list then the list will
toggle for each key press, (momentary action). The meter will suspend ALL
operations for approximately 1 msec. while the new values are loaded. The
display will only indicate which list is active when the list is changed or when
entering any Programming Mode.
To program the values for and , first complete the programming
of all the parameters. Exit programming and switch to the other list. Re-enter
programming and enter the values for , , , , , ,
, , , . If any other parameters are changed then the
other list values must be reprogrammed.
Shaded parameters do not apply to the DPF91.
DPF93: PRINT REQUEST
The meter issues a block print through the serial port when activated. The
data transmitted during the print request is configured in Module 7. If the user
input is still active after the transmission is complete (about 100 msec.), an
additional transmission will occur. Only one transmission will take place with
each function key depression. This selection will only function when a serial
communications Plug-in card is installed in the meter.

DPF93: RATE ASSIGNMENT
For measuring the rate (speed) of pulses on Input A, select . For Input
B select . This assignment is independent of the counting modes.
The Low Update Time is the minimum amount of time between display
updates for the Rate display. Values of 0.1 and 0.2 seconds will update the
display correctly but may cause the display to appear unsteady. The factory
setting of 1.0 will update the display every second minimum.
The High Update Time is the maximum amount of time before the Rate
display is forced to zero. (For more explanation, refer to Input Frequency
Calculation.) The High Update Time must be higher than the Low Update Time
and higher than the desired slowest readable speed (one divided by pulses per
second). The factory setting of 2.0, will force the display to zero for speeds
below 0.5 Hz or a pulse every 2 seconds.
This selects the decimal point position for Rate, Minimum and Maximum
rate displays and any setpoint value assigned to these displays. This parameter
does not affect rate scaling calculations.
DPF93: LINEARIZER SEGMENTS
This parameter specifies the number of linear segments used for the Rate
Scaling function. Each linear segment has two scaling points which define the
upper and lower endpoints of the segment. The number of segments used
depends on the linearity of the process and the display accuracy required as
described below.
Linear Application – 2 Scaling Points
Linear processes use a single segment (two scaling points) to provide a linear
Rate display from 0 up to the maximum input frequency. For typical zero based
frequency measurements (0 Hz = 0 on display), leave (factory setting).
For non-zero based 2 scaling point applications, set , to enter both the
zero segment ( & ) and segment 1 ( & ).

Non-linear Application – Up to 10 Scaling Points
Non-linear processes may utilize up to nine segments (ten scaling points) to
provide a piece-wise linear approximation representing the non-linear function.
The Rate display will be linear throughout each individual segment (i.e.
between sequential scaling points). Thus, the greater the number of segments,
the greater the conformity accuracy. Several linearization equations are
available in the software.
About Scaling Points
Each Scaling Point is specified by two programmable parameters: A desired
Rate Display Value () and a corresponding Rate Input Value ().
Scaling points are entered sequentially in ascending order of Rate Input Value.
Two scaling points must be programmed to define the upper and lower
endpoints of the first linear segment. Setting , automatically factory sets
the first scaling point to 0.0 for typical single segment, zero based applications.
When multiple segments are used, the upper scaling point for a given segment
becomes the lower scaling point for the next sequential segment. Thus, for each
additional segment used, only one additional scaling point must be programmed.
The following chart shows the Scaling Points, the corresponding Parameter
mnemonics, and the Factory Default Settings for each point.
SEGMENT
DPF93: RATE DISPLAY VALUE FOR SCALING POINT 1
Confirm the Rate Display Value for the first Scaling Point is 0. This parameter
is automatically set to 0 and does not appear when . (See Note)
DPF93: RATE INPUT VALUE FOR SCALING POINT 1
Confirm the Rate Input Value for the first Scaling Point is 0.0. (See Note)
Note: For all linear and most non-linear applications, the Scaling Point 1
parameters ( and ) should be set to 0 and 0.0 respectively.
Consult the factory before using any non-zero values for Scaling Point 1. These
parameters are automatically set to 0 and do not appear when .
Enter the desired Rate Display Value for the second Scaling Point by using
the arrow keys.
Enter the corresponding Rate Input Value for the second Scaling Point by
using the arrow keys. Rate Input values for scaling points can be entered by
using the Key-in or the Applied method described below.
Key-in Method:
Enter the Rate Input value () that corresponds to the entered Rate
Display value () by pressing the F1 or F2 keys. This value is always in
pulses per second (Hz).
Applied Method:
Apply an external rate signal to the appropriate input terminals. At the Rate
Input Value () press and hold the F1 and F2 keys at the same time. The
applied input frequency (in Hz) will appear on the display. (To verify correct
reading wait for at least the length of the Low Update Time. Then press and
hold the F1 and F2 keys at the same time again. The new value should be ±
0.1% of the previous entered value.) Press PAR to enter the displayed
frequency as the Rate Input value. To prevent the displayed value from being
entered, press DSP. This will take the meter out of Programming Mode and the
previous Rate Input value will remain.
Rounding values other than one round the Rate display to the nearest
increment selected (e.g. rounding of ‘5’ causes 122 to round to 120 and 123 to
round to 125). Rounding starts at the least significant digit of the Rate display.
The Low Cut Out value forces the Rate display to zero when the Rate display
falls below the value entered.
When the Rate value is above the present Maximum rate value for the
entered amount of time, the meter will capture that Rate value as the new
Maximum value. A delay time helps to avoid false captures of sudden short
spikes. Maximum detection will only function if Rate is assigned to Input A or
B. The Maximum rate value is shown with an annunciator of ‘’ in the display
and will continue to function independent of being displayed.

RATE SCALING
To scale the Rate, enter a Scaling Display value with a corresponding Scaling
Input value. (The Display and Input values can be entered by Key-in or Applied
Methods.) These values are internally plotted to a Display value of 0 and Input
value of 0 Hz. A linear relationship is formed between these points to yield a rate
display value that corresponds to the incoming input signal rate. The DPF93 and
91 are capable of showing a rate display value for any linear process.
KEY-IN SCALING METHOD CALCULATION
If a display value versus input signal (in pulses per second) is known, then
those values can be entered into Scaling Display (x) and Scaling Input
(x). No further calculations are needed.
If only the number of pulses per ‘single’ unit (i.e. # of pulses per foot) is
known, then it can be entered as the Scaling Input value and the Scaling Display
value will be entered as the following:
RATE PER
NOTES:
1. If # of pulse per unit is less than 10, then multiply both Input and Display
values by 10.
2. If # of pulse per unit is less than 1, then multiply both Input and Display
values by 100.
3. If the Display value is raised or lowered, then Input value must be raised
or lowered by the same proportion (i.e. Display value for per hour is
entered by a third less (1200) then Input value is a third less of # of pulses
per unit). The same is true if the Input value is raised or lowered, then
Display value must be raised or lowered by the same proportion.
4. Both values must be greater than 0.0.
EXAMPLE:
1. With 15.1 pulses per foot, show feet per minute in tenths. Scaling Display
= 60.0 Scaling Input = 15.1.
2. With 0.25 pulses per gallon, show whole gallons per hour. (To have greater
accuracy, multiply both Input and Display values by 10.) Scaling Display
= 36000 Scaling Input = 2.5.
INPUT FREQUENCY CALCULATION
The meter determines the input frequency by summing the number of falling
edges received during a sample period of time. The sample period begins on the
first falling edge. At this falling edge, the meter starts accumulating time
towards Low Update and High Update values. Also, the meter starts
accumulating the number of falling edges. When the time reaches the Low
Update Time value, the meter looks for one more falling edge to end the sample
period. If a falling edge occurs (before the High Update Time value is reached),
the Rate display will update to the new value and the next sample period will
start on the same edge. If the High Update Time value is reached (without
receiving a falling edge after reaching Low Update Time), then the sample
period will end but the Rate display will be forced to zero. The High Update
Time value must be greater than the Low Update Time value. Both values must
be greater than 0.0. The input frequency calculated during the sample period, is
then shown as a Rate value determined by either scaling method.
INPUT (x)DISPLAY (x)
# of pulses per unit1Second
# of pulses per unit60Minute
# of pulses per unit3600Hour
MINIMUM CAPTURE DELAY TIME
When the Rate value is below the present Minimum rate value for the entered
amount of time, the meter will capture that Rate value as the new Minimum
value. A delay time helps to avoid false captures of sudden short spikes.
Minimum detection will only function if Rate is assigned to Input A or B. The
Minimum rate value is shown with an annunciator of ‘’ in the display and will
continue to function independent of being displayed.
RATE DISPLAY EXCEEDED
If the rate of the input signal causes a display that exceeds the capacity of the
Rate display (5 digits, 99999), then the display will indicate an overflow
condition by showing “ ”. During this overflow condition, the Minimum
and Maximum rate values will stay at their values even during resets.

dpf92 & 93
Module 5 is the programming for Counter C. For maximum input frequency,
the counter operating mode should be set to when not in use. When set to
the remaining related parameters are not accessible. The C annunciator
indicates that Counter C is being shown in the Display Mode. An Exchange
Parameter List feature for scale factor and count load values is explained in
Module 2.
COUNTER C OPERATING MODE
Does not count.
Counter C counts the incoming pulses from Counter A input as
per Counter A mode of operation. The signal is scaled only
according to Counter C parameters.
Counter C counts the incoming pulses from Counter A and B
inputs as per Counter A and B modes of operation. The result
is scaled only according to Counter C parameters. (Example:
If Counter A is set for Count X1 mode and Counter B is set for
Count X2 mode, then Counter C will increment by 1 for each
pulse received on Input A and increment by 2 for each pulse
received on Input B. Counter C scale settings are then applied
and the result is displayed.)
Counter C counts the incoming pulses from Counter A and B
inputs as per Counter A and B modes of operation and
subtracts the B counts from the A counts. The result is scaled
only according to Counter C parameters. (Example: If Counter
A is set for Count X1 mode and Counter B is set for Count X2
mode, then Counter C will increment by 1 for each pulse
received on Input A and decrement by 2 for each pulse
received on Input B. Counter C scale settings are then applied
and the result is displayed.)
See Serial Communications for details.
COUNTER C RESET ACTION
Select the operating mode for Counter C.
Note: When using Add Ab or Sub Ab, Counter A, B and C must all be reset
at the same time for the math to be performed on the display values.

PARAMETER MENU
COUNTER C DECIMAL POSITION
This selects the decimal point position for Counter C and any setpoint value
assigned to Counter C. The selection will also affect Counter C scale factor
calculations.
The number of input counts is multiplied by the scale factor and the scale
multiplier to obtain the desired process value. A scale factor of 1.00000 will
result in the display of the actual number of input counts. For the mode of
operation, the input signal is scaled directly. For and modes of
operation, the math is performed on the input signals and then the result is
scaled. To achieve correct results, both Input A and Input B must provide the
same amount of pulses per unit of measurement. (Details on scaling calculations
are explained at the end of Module 1 section.)
The number of input counts is multiplied by the scale multiplier and the scale
factor to obtain the desired process value. A scale multiplier of 1 will result in
only the scale factor affecting the display. (Details on scaling calculations are
explained at the end of Module 1 section.)

COUNTER C RESET POWER-UP
Counter C may be programmed to reset at each meter power-up.
Module 6 is the programming for the setpoint (alarms) output parameters. To have setpoint outputs, a setpoint Plug-in card needs to
be installed in the meter (see Ordering Information). Depending on the card installed, there will be two or four setpoint outputs
available. For setpoint hardware and wiring details, refer to the bulletin shipped with the plug-in card. For maximum input frequency,
unused Setpoints should be configured for action.
The setpoint assignment and the setpoint action determine certain setpoint feature availability. The chart below illustrates this.
Select a setpoint (alarm output) to open the remaining module menu. (The

DPF92 & 93: SETPOINT ASSIGNMENT
Select the display that the setpoint is to be assigned.
With Timed Out action, the setpoint output activates when the
count value equals the setpoint value and deactivates after the
Time Out value. This action is not associated with Boundary types.
With boundary action, the setpoint output activates when the count
value is greater than or equal to (for = ) or less than or equal
to (for = ) the setpoint value. The setpoint output will
deactivate when the count value is less than (for = ) or
greater than (for = ) the setpoint value.
With Latch action, the setpoint output activates when the count
value equals the setpoint value. The output remains active until
reset. This action is not associated with Boundary types.
With Timed Out action, the setpoint output cycles when the rate
value is greater than or equal to (for = ) or less than or equal
to (for = ) the setpoint value. The Setpoint Time Out
() and Setpoint On Delay () values determine the
cycling times.
With Boundary action, the setpoint output activates when the rate
value is greater than or equal to (for = ) or less than or equal
to (for = ) the setpoint value. The setpoint output will
deactivate (Auto reset) as determined by the hysteresis value.
With Latch action, the setpoint output activates when the rate value
is equal to the setpoint value. The setpoint output remains active
until reset. If after reset, the rate value is greater than or equal to
(for = ) or less than or equal to (for = ) the setpoint
value, the output will reactivate.
Selecting will disable low acting setpoints at a power up until the display
value crosses into the alarm “off” area. Once in the alarm “off” area, the
setpoint will function according to the configured setpoint parameters.
DPF93 & 91: SETPOINT HYSTERESIS
The hysteresis value is added to (for = ), or subtracted from (for =
), the setpoint value to determine at what value to deactivate the associated
setpoint output. Hysteresis is only available for setpoints assigned to the Rate
with boundary action.
DPF93 & 91: SETPOINT OFF DELAY
This is the amount of time the Rate display must meet the setpoint
deactivation requirements (below hysteresis for high acting and above
hysteresis for low acting) before the setpoint’s output deactivates.
DPF93 & 91: SETPOINT ON DELAY
This is the amount of time the Rate display must meet the setpoint activation
requirements (below setpoint for = and above setpoint for = ) before
the setpoint’s output activates. If the Rate Setpoint Action is Timed Out, this is
the amount of time the output is off during the on / off output cycling.

Module 7 is the programming module for the Serial Communications
Parameters. These parameters are used to match the serial settings of the DPF93
with those of the host computer or other serial device, such as a terminal or
printer. This programming module can only be accessed if an RS232 or RS485
Serial Communications card is installed.
This section also includes an explanation of the commands and formatting
required for communicating with the DPF93. In order to establish serial
communications, the user must have host software that can send and receive
ASCII characters or Modbus protocol. Omega’s DP6-SOFT software can be
used for configuring the DPF93. For serial hardware and wiring details, refer to
the bulletin shipped with the plug-in card.
COMMUNICATIONS TYPE
u
Select the desired communications protocol. Modbus protocol provides
access to all meter values and parameters. Since Modbus is included within the
DPF93, the Modbus option card, LDP6-CDC40, should not be used. The
LDP6-CDC1 (RS485), or LDP6-CDC2 (RS232) card should be used instead.
Set the baud rate to match the other serial communications equipment on the
serial link. Normally, the baud rate is set to the highest value that all the serial
equipment is capable of transmitting and receiving.
Select either 7 or 8 bit data word lengths. Set the word length to match the
other serial communications equipment on the serial link.
Set the parity bit to match that of the other serial communications equipment
on the serial link. The meter ignores the parity when receiving data and sets the
parity bit for outgoing data. If no parity is selected with 7 bit word length, an
additional stop bit is used to force the frame size to 10 bits.
Enter the serial meter (node) address. The address range is dependent on the
parameter. With a single unit, configured for RLC protocol ( =
), an address is not needed and a value of zero can be used. With multiple
units (RS485 applications), a unique 2 digit address number must be assigned
to each meter.

6. Configure DP6-SOFT Link options (Link, Options) to the serial port which
the communication cable is attached (in step 2).
SUPPORTED FUNCTION CODES
FC03: Read Holding Registers
1. Up to 64 registers can be requested at one time.
2. HEX <8000> is returned for non-used registers.
FC04: Read Input Registers
1. Up to 64 registers can be requested at one time.
2. Block starting point can not exceed register boundaries.
3. HEX <8000> is returned in registers beyond the boundaries.
4. Input registers are a mirror of Holding registers.
FC06: Preset Single Register
1. HEX <8001> is echoed back when attempting to write to a read only register.
2. If the write value exceeds the register limit (see Register Table), then that
register value changes to its high or low limit. It is also returned in the
response.
FC16: Preset Multiple Registers
1. No response is given with an attempt to write to more than 64 registers at a
time.
2. Block starting point cannot exceed the read and write boundaries (40001-
41280).
3. If a multiple write includes read only registers, then only the write registers
will change.
4. If the write value exceeds the register limit (see Register Table), then that
register value changes to its high or low limit.
FC08: Diagnostics
The following is sent upon FC08 request:
Module Address, 08 (FC code), 04 (byte count), “Total Comms” 2 byte count,
“Total Good Comms” 2 byte count, checksum of the string
“Total Comms” is the total number of messages received that were addressed
to the DPF93. “Total Good Comms” is the total messages received by the
DPF93 with good address, parity and checksum. Both counters are reset to
0 upon response to FC08 and at power-up.
SUPPORTED EXCEPTION CODES
01: Illegal Function
Issued whenever the requested function is not implemented in the meter.
02: Illegal Data Address
Issued whenever an attempt is made to access a single register that does not
exist (outside the implemented space) or to access a block of registers that falls
completely outside the implemented space.
03: Illegal Data Value
Issued when an attempt is made to read or write more registers than the meter
can handle in one request.
07: Negative Acknowledge
Issued when a write to a register is attempted with an invalid string length.
This table shows the most commonly used registers for the DPF93.
DPF93 MODBUS REGISTER TABLE
Values less than 65,535 will be in (Lo word). Values greater than 65,535 will continue into (Hi word). Negative values are represented by two’s complement of the
combined (Hi word) and (Lo word). The DPF93 should not be powered down while parameters are being changed. Doing so may corrupt the non-volatile memory
resulting in checksum errors.
RLC Communications requires the Serial Communications Type Parameter
(tYPE) be set to RLC Protocol (rLC).
SENDING SERIAL COMMANDS AND DATA TO THE METER
When sending commands to the meter, a string containing at least one
command character must be constructed. A command string consists of a
command character, a value identifier, numerical data (if writing data to the
meter) followed by a command terminator character * or $. The <CR> is also
available as a terminator when Counter C is in the SLAVE mode.

Command String Construction
The command string must be constructed in a specific sequence. The meter
does not respond with an error message to invalid commands. The following
procedure details construction of a command string:
1. The first characters consist of the Node Address Specifier (N) followed by a
1 or 2 character address number. The address number of the meter is
programmable. If the node address is 0, this command and the node address
itself may be omitted. For node address 1 through 9, a leading zero character
is not required. (The only exception is a numeric transmission when Counter
C is set for slave mode.) This is the only command that may be used in
conjunction with other commands.
2. After the optional address specifier, the next character is the command
character.
3. The next character is the Register ID. This identifies the register that the
command affects. The P command does not require a Register ID character.
It prints according to the selections made in print options.
4. If constructing a value change command (writing data), the numeric data is
sent next.
5. All command strings must be terminated with the string termination
characters *, $ or when Counter C is set for slave mode <CR>. The meter
does not begin processing the command string until this character is received.
See Timing Diagram figure for differences between terminating characters.
Sending Numeric Data
Numeric data sent to the meter must be limited to the digit range shown under
transmit details in the Register Identification Chart. Leading zeros are ignored.
Negative numbers must have a minus sign. The meter ignores any decimal point
and conforms the number to the scaled resolution. (For example: the meter’s
scaled decimal point position = 0.0 and 25 is written to a register. The value of
the register is now 2.5.
Note: Since the meter does not issue a reply to value change commands, follow
with a transmit value command for readback verification.

RECEIVING DATA FROM THE METER
Data is transmitted by the meter in response to either a transmit command (T),
a print block command (P) or User Function print request. The response from
the meter is either a full field transmission or an abbreviated transmission. The
meter response mode is established in Module 7.
Full Field Transmission (Address, Mnemonic, Numeric data)
Byte Description
1, 2 2 byte Node (meter) Address field [00-99]
3 <SP> (Space)
4-6 3 byte Register Mnemonic field
7-18 12 byte data field, 10 bytes for number, one byte for sign, one byte for
decimal point
19 <CR> carriage return
20 <LF> line feed
21 <SP>* (Space)
22 <CR>* carriage return
23 <LF>* line feed
* These characters only appear in the last line of a block print.
The first two characters transmitted (bytes 1 and 2) are the unit address. If the
address assigned is 00, two spaces are substituted. A space (byte 3) follows the
unit address field. The next three characters (bytes 4 to 6) are the register
mnemonic. The numeric data is transmitted next.
The numeric field (bytes 7 to 18) is 12 characters long. When the requested
value exceeds eight digits for count values or five digits for rate values, an *
(used as an overflow character) replaces the space in byte 7. Byte 8 is always a
space. The remaining ten positions of this field (bytes 9 to 18) consist of a minus
sign (for negative values), a floating decimal point (if applicable), and eight
positions for the requested value. The data within bytes 9 to 18 is right-aligned
with leading spaces for any unfilled positions.
The end of the response string is terminated with <CR> (byte 19), and <LF>
(byte 20). When a block print is finished, an extra <SP> (byte 21), <CR> (byte
22), and <LF> (byte 23) are used to provide separation between the transmissions.
Abbreviated Transmission (Numeric data only)
Byte Description
1-12 12 byte data field, 10 bytes for number, one byte for sign, one byte for
decimal point
13 <CR> carriage return
14 <LF> line feed
15 <SP>* (Space)
16 <CR>* carriage return
17 <LF>* line feed
* These characters only appear in the last line of a block print.

AUTO/MANUAL MODE REGISTER (MMR) ID: U
This register sets the controlling mode for the outputs. In Auto Mode (0) the
meter controls the setpoint and analog output. In Manual Mode (1) the outputs
are defined by the registers SOR and AOR. When transferring from auto mode
to manual mode, the meter holds the last output value (until the register is
changed by a write). Each output may be independently changed to auto or
manual. In a write command string (VU), any character besides 0 or 1 in a field
will not change the corresponding output mode.

This register stores the present signal value of the analog output. The range
of values of this register is 0 to 4095, which corresponds to the analog output
range per the following chart:
*Due to the absolute accuracy rating
and resolution of the output card, the
actual output signal may differ 0.15%
FS from the table values. The output
signal corresponds to the range selected
(0-20 mA, 4-20 mA or 0-10 V).
Writing to this register (VW) while the analog output is in the Manual Mode
causes the output signal level to update immediately to the value sent. While in
the Automatic Mode, this register may be written to, but it has no effect until the
analog output is placed in the manual mode. When in the Automatic Mode, the
meter controls the analog output signal level. Reading from this register (TW)
will show the present value of the analog output signal.
Example: VW2047* will result in an output of 10.000 mA, 12.000 mA or
5.000V depending on the range selected.
SETPOINT OUTPUT REGISTER (SOR) ID: X
This register stores the states of the setpoint outputs. Reading from this
register (TX) will show the present state of all the setpoint outputs. A “0” in the
setpoint location means the output is off and a “1” means the output is on.
X abcd
d = SP4
c = SP3
b = SP2
a = SP1
In Automatic Mode, the meter controls the setpoint output state. In Manual
Mode, writing to this register (VX) will change the output state. Sending any
character besides 0 or 1 in a field or if the corresponding output was not first in
manual mode, the corresponding output value will not change. (It is not
necessary to send least significant 0s.)
Example: VX10* will result in output 1 on and output 2 off.
COUNTER C SLAVE COMMUNICATIONS
Counter C may be programmed for , to act as a serial slave display. By
doing this, the carriage return <CR> is added as a valid command terminator
character for all serial command strings. The <CR> as a terminator may be very
useful for standard serial commands, even if Counter C is never displayed or
sent a slave message. The $ terminator should not be used in the slave mode. If
numeric values are not to be saved to memory, then send the value as a literal
transmission with <CR> terminator.
The Counter C slave display is right aligned. It has a capacity of displaying
six characters. When less than six characters are received, blank spaces will be
placed in front of the characters. If more than six characters are sent, then only
the last six are displayed. The meter has a 192 character buffer for the slave
display. If more than 192 characters are sent, the additional characters are
discarded until a terminator is received. Counter C processes numeric and literal
transmissions differently.
Numeric Transmissions
When a string that does not begin with #, T, V, P or R is received, the meter
processes it as a Numeric transmission. In this case, only the recognized
numbers and punctuation are displayed. All other characters in the string are
discarded. If a negative sign appears anywhere in the string the resulting number
will be negative. Only the most significant decimal point is retained. If no
numerical characters are received, then the numeric value will be zero. The
numeric display can be used for setpoint (boundary action only) and analog
output functions. When using this display for setpoint and analog output values,
the decimal point position must match the programming entered through the
front panel. The numeric value is retained in Counter C memory until another
Numeric transmission is received.
When a string that begins with # is received, the meter processes it as a Literal
transmission. In this case, any unrecognized characters will be replaced with a
space. A Literal display will replace a Numeric value in the Counter C display.
However, it will not remove a previous Numeric value from Counter C memory
or prevent the Counter C outputs from functioning with the Numeric value.
Literal transmissions are only possible when using RS232 or RS485 cards.
Recognized Characters = a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, l, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u,
y, z (in upper or lower case)
Recognized Numbers = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Recognized Punctuation = period, comma, minus, blank

COMMAND RESPONSE TIME
The meter can only receive data or transmit data at any one time (half-duplex
operation). During RS232 transmissions, the meter ignores commands while
transmitting data, but instead uses RXD as a busy signal. When sending
commands and data to the meter, a delay must be imposed before sending
another command. This allows enough time for the meter to process the
command and prepare for the next command.
At the start of the time interval t1, the computer program prints or writes the
string to the com port, thus initiating a transmission. During t1, the command
characters are under transmission and at the end of this period, the command
terminating character (*, $ or slave only <CR>) is received by the meter. The
time duration of t1 is dependent on the number of characters and baud rate of
the channel.
t1 = (10 times the # of characters) / baud rate
At the start of time interval t2, the meter starts the interpretation of the
command and when complete, performs the command function. This time
interval t2 varies from 2 msec to 15 msec. If no response from the meter is
expected, the meter is ready to accept another command.
If the meter is to reply with data, the time interval t2 is controlled by the use
of the command terminating character and the Serial Transmit Delay parameter
(dELAY). The ‘*’ or ‘<CR>’ terminating character results in a response time
window of the Serial Transmit Delay time (dELAY) plus 15 msec. maximum. The
dELAY parameter should be programmed to a value that allows sufficient time for
the release of the sending driver on the RS485 bus. Terminating the command
line with “$” results in a response time window (t2) of 2 msec minimum and 15
msec maximum. The response time of this terminating character requires that
sending drivers release within 2 msec after the terminating character is
received.
At the beginning of time interval t3, the meter responds with the first
character of the reply. As with t1, the time duration of t3 is dependent on the
number of characters and baud rate of the channel. At the end of t3, the meter is
ready to receive the next command.
t3 = (10 times the # of characters) / baud rate
Timing Diagrams
NO REPLY FROM METER
RESPONSE FROM METER
The maximum serial throughput of the meter is limited to the sum of the
times t1, t2 and t3.
COMMUNICATION FORMAT
Data is transferred from the meter through a serial communication channel.
In serial communications, the voltage is switched between a high and low level
at a predetermined rate (baud rate) using ASCII encoding. The receiving device
reads the voltage levels at the same intervals and then translates the switched
levels back to a character.
The voltage level conventions depend on the interface standard. The table
lists the voltage levels for each standard.
LOGICRS232*RS485*INTERFACE STATE
1TXD,RXD; -3 to -15 Va-b < -200 mVmark (idle)
0TXD,RXD; +3 to +15 Va-b > +200 mVspace (active)
* Voltage levels at the Receiver
Data is transmitted one byte at a time with a variable idle period between
characters (0 to ∞). Each ASCII character is “framed” with a beginning start bit,
an optional parity bit and one or more ending stop bits. The data format and
baud rate must match that of other equipment in order for communication to
take place. The figures list the data formats employed by the meter.
Start bit and Data bits
Data transmission always begins with the start bit. The start bit signals the
receiving device to prepare for reception of data. One bit period later, the least
significant bit of the ASCII encoded character is transmitted, followed by the
remaining data bits. The receiving device then reads each bit position as they are
transmitted.
Character Frame Figure
Parity bit
After the data bits, the parity bit is sent. The transmitter sets the parity bit to
a zero or a one, so that the total number of ones contained in the transmission
(including the parity bit) is either even or odd. This bit is used by the receiver
to detect errors that may occur to an odd number of bits in the transmission.
However, a single parity bit cannot detect errors that may occur to an even
number of bits. Given this limitation, the parity bit is often ignored by the
receiving device. The PAX meter ignores the parity bit of incoming data and
sets the parity bit to odd, even or none (mark parity) for outgoing data.
Stop bit
The last character transmitted is the stop bit. The stop bit provides a single bit
period pause to allow the receiver to prepare to re-synchronize to the start of a
new transmission (start bit of next byte). The receiver then continuously looks
for the occurrence of the start bit. If 7 data bits and no parity is selected, then 2
stop bits are sent from the DPF93.

UNIT TYPE AND VERSION
The meter briefly displays the unit type followed by the
current firmware version ( x.x), and then returns to
. This information is also displayed during the
meter power-up sequence.
INPUT A AND B LOGIC SELECTION
The Count Inputs A and B are factory configured for falling edge triggered
(active low) operation in single edge count modes. The Counter Operating Mode
descriptions in the Input programming section reflect this logic. If an application
is better suited to use rising edge triggered (active high) operation, the Input
Logic for Input A and/or Input B can be changed by entering Code 55.
Selecting sets the Input A logic to rising edge triggered (active high)
operation. Be advised that all references to Input A falling edge and Input A
rising edge will be reversed for the Counter Operating Mode descriptions.
Selecting sets the Input B logic to rising edge triggered (active high)
operation. Be advised that all references to Input B falling edge and Input B
rising edge will be reversed for the Counter Operating Mode descriptions.
DPF93: CALIBRATION
4. If the meter appears to be indicating incorrectly or inaccurately, refer to the
Troubleshooting section.
When Analog Out recalibration is required (generally every 2 years), it
should be performed by qualified technicians using appropriate equipment.
Calibration does not change any user programmed parameters.
Calibration may be aborted by disconnecting power to the meter before
exiting Module 9. In this case, the existing calibration settings remain in effect.
Note: Allow a 30 minute warm-up period before staring calibration.
Analog Output Card Calibration
Before starting, verify that a precision meter with an accuracy of 0.05% or
better (voltmeter for voltage output and/or current meter for current output) is
connected and ready. Then perform the following procedure:
1. Use the arrow keys to display and press PA R.
