1.3 How to use this manual

1.4 RS485 ASCII denions

If this is the rst me you are conguring an LDB series large format meter, below are the steps to follow to install and congure the instrument. Read all the manual secons in order to have a full and clear view of the characteriscs of the instrument. Do not forget to read the installaon precauons at secon 1.21.

1. Idenfy the instrument format (see secon 1.8)

2. Power and signal connecons

- open the instrument (see secon 1.9)

- connect the power (see secon 1.11)

- connect the signal (see secon 1.12)

- close the instrument (see secon 1.9)

3. Congure the instrument (see secon 1.18)

- select the working mode, and the bus conguraon

(see secon 1.18.2)

- congure the protocol (see secon 1.18.6)

4. Advanced conguraon (oponal)

- congure the instrument alarms (see secon 1.18.7)

- congure the fast access (see secon 1.18.10)

- congure other funcons: ‘on power up’ (1.18.12), key ‘LE’ (1.18.15) and password (1.18.21)

5. If the instrument includes analog output (AO) or serial communicaons (RTU, S4, S2)

The ASCII protocol implemented in this instrument is a proprietary serial communicaons protocol, based on RS485 bus, with ‘master’ / ‘slave’ architecture. The basic needed to understand this protocol and this manual are described below:

• ‘frame’: data between the ‘master’ and the ‘slave’ travels inform of frames. There are ‘read frames’, ‘write frames, ‘error frames’, etc. See secons 1.17.1 to 1.17.6.

• ‘registers’ : frames contain orders from the master to the slave, to read or write on the internal instrument registers. Available registers depend on the working mode selected. Typically, there is a register for the reading value, a register for the alarm status, etc. See secons 1.17.7 to 1.17.9 and

1.17.11.

- numerical registers contain numbers (integers) and there are certain restricons that apply (see secon 1.17.13).

- alphanumerical registers contain ASCII characters and can work with a wider range of characters than numerical

registers (see secon 1.17.12).

• ‘CRC’ : to assure that the frames are correctly sent and received, each frame contains a ‘CRC’ control code, which is calculated for each frame (see secon 1.17.10).

• ‘errors’ : the instrument can idenfy dierent errors

associated to frames (see secon 1.16).

- to include an opon to an instrument see secon 1.10

- to congure an installed opon, access the opon conguraon menu (see secon 1.18.25)

- see secon 2 for informaon regarding the output and control opons available

6. Install the instrument

- mount on panel, wall or hanging (see secon 1.20)

- adjust the brightness level according to your environmental needs (see secon 1.18.24)

1.5 Start up sequence

The instrument follows the sequence indicated below at start-up aer a power loss :

1. alarm status according to conguraon (see secon

1.18.12)

2. start up delay according to conguraon (see secon

1.18.12)

3. all registers and coils inialized to value ‘0’

3.1 display set to ‘0’

4. detecon of the acve working mode ‘Full slave’ or ‘Process slave’ or ‘Text’ (see secon 1.18.2)

4.1 in ‘Full slave’ and ‘Text’ modes the alarm status is set as explained in ‘1.’ and alarm registers are set to ‘0’

4.2 in ‘Process slave’ mode, alarm conguraon (setpoint, etc) is compared with display value (‘0’) and each alarm acvates or deacvates according to the result of the

comparison

5. waits for data recepon through the communicaons bus

Page 6

1.6 Typical applicaon

1.7 Factory conguraon

The typical applicaon for this models of large format industrial meters if to display numerical values associated to the producon or industrial processes. Display value is controlled through the RS-485 ASCII protocol. Messages are sent by the bus master, usually a PLC or a SCADA system.

The instrument can also integrate relay outputs, which can be remotely controlled from the ‘master’ (‘Full slave’ and ‘Text’ working modes (see secon 1.18.2)) or locally controlled by the instrument (‘Process slave’ working mode (see secon 1.18.2)).

Addional analog outputs can be also installed . See secon 2 for a list of oponal output and control modules available.

1.17 ASCII protocol

1.17.1 Frame types

The ASCII protocol implemented denes the following frame types :

• Frame ‘write’ (‘WR’). Idener 34. Frame to write data into a register. The desnaon register number is placed in the ‘REG’ byte (secon ‘Header’). The data to write into the register is indicated in the ‘D0’ to ‘Dn’ bytes (secon ‘Data’).

• Frame ‘write with acknowledgment’ (‘WRA’). Idener 35. Frame to write data into a register, with acknowledgment of success. The desnaon register number is placed in the ‘REG’ byte (secon ‘Header’). The data to write into the register is placed in the ‘D0’ to ‘Dn’ bytes (secon ‘Data’). The instrument replies with an ‘ok’ frame (‘OK’) if the wring acon succeeded, or with an ‘error’ frame (‘ERR’) if the wring acon did not succeed.

• Frame ‘ok’ (‘OK’). Idener 39. Informs that the acon of wring data into a register, was successful. This is a response frame to a ‘write with acknowledgment’ frame (‘WRA’).

• Frame ‘error’ (‘ERR’). Idener 38. Informs that the data read (‘RD’) or data write (‘WRA’) did not succeed. The error code is codied into the ‘REG’ byte (secon ‘Header’). For a list of error codes see secon 1.16.

• Frame ‘read’ (‘RD’). Idener 36. Frame to request the data value of a register. The register number is placed in the ‘REG’ byte (secon ‘Header’).

• Frame ‘answer’ (‘ANS’). Idener 37. Response frame to a ‘read’ frame. The register number is placed in the ‘REG’ byte (secon ‘Header’). Requested data is contained in bytes ‘D0’ to ‘Dn’ (secon ‘Data’).

• Frame ‘ping’ (‘PING’). Idener 32. Frame ‘ping’ is a request of existence to the remote instrument. The remote instrument will answer with a ‘pong’ frame

• Frame ‘pong’ (‘PONG’). Idener 33. Frame ‘pong’ is a response frame to a ‘ping’ frame. It conrms the existence of the remote instrument.

The ASCII protocol frames implemented have a structure made of ‘Header’, ‘Data’ and end of frame ‘Trail’.

Secon ‘Header’

Contains the start of frame byte (‘STX’), the frame idener (‘ID’), the sender (‘FROM’) and desnaon (‘TO’) addresses, the register number (‘REG’) and the length (‘LONG’) of the ‘Data’ secon.

Secon ‘Data’

Contains the data of the register (‘REG’).

Secon ‘Trail’

Contains the ‘CRC’ code and the end of frame byte (‘ETX’).

‘Real value’ and ‘Frame value’

In order to use frame characters that are representable and easily recognizable on screen in case of need, the protocol codies the values before introducing them into the frame. The following nomenclature is dened :

• ‘real value’ is the value of the eld without codicaon

• ‘frame value’ is the value codied

1.17.11 The ‘Alarm status’ register

The ‘Alarm Status’ register (register 6) is available as a read_only register for the ‘Process slave’ mode and as a read/write register for the ‘Full slave’ and ‘Text’ modes. This register contains the status of alarms 1, 2 and 3. Status is acve or inacve.

The ‘Alarm Status’ register is 1 character (1 byte) register, with possible values from ‘0’ to ‘7’. The alarm status for each value are indicated at Table 17.

Note that the ‘Alarm Status’ register contains a value that is the ASCII code of a number from ‘0’ to ‘7’. The reason is to maintain the protocol structure of transming ASCII codes. Also note that the value represented by this character is the binary code represenng the status of the alarms:

Example: ASCII code 53 represents number ‘5’, which in binary is ‘0101’, and corresponds with alarm status 3, 2 and 1 in ‘on’, ‘o’ and ‘on’.

1.17.13 Restricons on numerical registers

Registers that must contain a numerical value, are checked to assure that the value received from the frame is a numerical value. If controls are successful, the value is saved into the register. Otherwise, an error is generated. Registers which must contain numerical values are the following :

• ‘Display’ register

• ‘Setpoint 1’, ‘Setpoint 2’ and ‘Setpoint 3’ registers

When wring data into these registers, the instrument converts the ASCII characters received on the ‘DATA’ secon of the frame, to a numerical value. The following controls are applied, in the order indicated below :

• Secon ‘DATA’ can not be empty of characters. It generates an error 6 ‘Empty Data’.

• First character must be ‘+’, ‘-’, ‘.’, ‘,’ or a number from ‘0’ to ‘9’. It generates error 10 ‘First char error’.

• Secon ‘DATA’ must contain maximum one decimal point. It generates error 11 ‘Format error’.

• Secon ‘DATA’ can contain only characters from ‘0’ to ‘9’ or decimal point (‘,’ o ‘.’). First character has already been controled and is not controlled again. If other character is found, it generates error 11 ‘Format error’.

• The numerical integer is sent to display. If the number is higher than the maximum number that can be represented by the display, it generates an error 12 ‘Out of range’.

Example : ‘-4567.89’ is not representable on display,

because minimum display is -199999. Instrument will generate an ‘Out of range’ error. ‘Display’ register is not updated. It generates an answer frame 12 ‘Out of range’ if the wring was requested with a ‘WRA’

frame.

Note : character ‘.’ and ‘,’ are equivalent and both are associated to the decimal point.

• If secon ‘DATA’ does not contain decimal point, its maximum length is 7 characters. If secon ‘DATA’ contains decimal point, its maximum length is 8 characters. Larger data generates error 12 ‘Out of range’.

• Conversion from ASCII characters to a number. Decimal point is separated from the number, which is treated as

an integer.

Examples : possible conversions are as follows:

‘1234’ is read on display as 1234

‘-1234’ is read on display as -1234

‘-12.34’ is read on display as -12.34

‘+.995’ is read on display as 0.995

‘+0.995’ is read on display as 0.995

‘0.995’ is read on display as 0.995

‘.995’ is read on display as 0.995

‘+000027’ is read on display as 27

‘+27’ is read on display as 27

‘27’ is read on display as 27

1.18 Conguraon

1.18.1 How to operate the menus

The instrument has two menus accessible to the user :

‘Conguraon menu’ (key ‘SQ’) (<)

‘Fast access’ menu (key ‘UP’) (5)

Conguraon menu

The ‘conguraon menu’ modies the conguraon parameters to adapt the instrument to the applicaon needs. To access the ‘conguraon menu’ press for 1 second the ‘SQ’ (<) key. This access can be blocked by acvang the ‘Password’ (‘PASS’) funcon. While operang the ‘conguraon menu’, the alarm status is ‘hold’ to the status it had before accessing the menu, and the output and control modules remain in ‘error’ state. When leaving the ‘conguraon menu’, the instrument applies a system reset, followed by a brief disconnecon of the alarms and the output and control modules. Funconality is then recovered.

For a detailed explanaon on the ‘conguraon menu’ see the following secons, and for a full view of the ‘conguraon menu’ see secon 1.19.

Key ‘LE’ (3) - press the ‘LE’ (3) key to acvate the congured special funcons associated to this key. Inside the menu, the ‘LE’ (5) acts as an ‘ESCAPE’. It leaves the selected menu level and eventually, by leaving all menu levels, it leaves from the conguraon menu. Then changes are applied and the instrument is back to normal funcon. When entering a numerical value, it selects the acve digit, and the value is then modied by key ‘UP’ (5).

‘Rollback’

Aer 30 seconds without interacon from the operator, the instrument will rollback and leave the ‘conguraon menu’ or the ‘fast access’ menu. All changes will be discarded.

Instruments with 4 and 6 digits

The conguraon menus included in this document show values for a 6 digit instrument. In case of 4 digit instruments, note that maximum reading values should be 9999 instead of 999999 to 9999 and minimum reading values should be

-1999 instead of -199999.

‘Fast access’ menu

The ‘fast access’ menu is an operator congurable menu, providing fast and direct access to the most usual funcons of the instrument with a single key pad stroke. Press key ‘UP’ (5) to access this menu.

See secon 1.18.10 for a list of selectable funcons for the ‘fast access’ menu in this instrument. The ‘Password’ (‘PASS’) funcon does not block access to this menu. Accessing and modifying parameters in the ‘fast access’ menu does not interfere with the normal funconality of the instrument, and it does not generate any system reset when validang the changes.

Operang with the front keypad inside the menus

1.18.3 Addresses and broadcast

1.18.5 ‘Scroll’ funcon

The instrument can be assigned any address between 1 and

31. Addionally, address 128 is a ‘broadcast’ address.

The instrument will process the frames addressed to his

local address.

Addionally, frames directed to address 128 will be accepted by all instruments.

Frames directed to address 128 ‘broadcast’ will not generate any answer frame.

• a ‘ping’ frame (‘PING’) to address 128 does not

generate answer frames

• a ‘write with aknowldgement’ (‘WRA’) frame to

address 128 does not generate answer frames

• a ‘read’ (‘READ’) frame to address 128 does not

generate answer frames

• a frame directed to address 128 that contains an error (for example, a CRC error) does not generate answer

frames

The ‘Text’ mode has a ‘scroll’ funcon to represent messages with a number of characters larger than number of spaces on display. A message with characters ‘Abcd1234’ will be represented as:

1.18.4 ‘Watchdog’ funcon

The ‘watchdog’ funcon acvates an error state in case of loss of communicaon with the ‘master’. To congure the ‘watchdog’ indicate the maximum me accepted to wait between two frames received. If the congured me is exceeded, the instrument acvated the ‘watchdog error’. When a correct frame is received, the ‘watchdog’ mer is

reset.

Frames that can reset the ‘watchdog’ mer are those addressed to the ‘slave’ instrument. These frames must conform to the Modbus RTU protocol and have a correct CRC.

If the funcon or register or coil indicated in the frame is not correct, the ‘slave’ instrument will sll reset the ‘watchdog’ mer. It will also reply with the corresponding error

message.

The internal alarms of the instrument can be associated to the ‘watchdog’. In case of ‘watchdog’ acvaon, the associated alarm will also acvate (see secon 1.18.7).

Display can also be congured to show an error message in case of ‘watchdog’ error. It can be congured for ashing, dash (‘------’) or to show message ‘Err.W’.

1.18.7 Alarms

The instrument manages 3 independent internal alarms, each one controlling the acvaon of an oponal relay,

transistor or control SSR output.

Oponal modules (see secon 2) are installed at the free slots inside the instrument

(see secon 1.8)

. LDB-24 and

LDB-44 formats have 2 free slots for output and control modules, while LDB-26 and LDB-46 formats have 3 free

slots for output and control modules.

The instrument has 3 front leds that reect the state of the 3 internal alarms. These leds are only for local help during installaon, as they are not appropriate for long

distance reading.

Each alarm controls the acvaon of the relay, transistor or control SSR installed on its associated slot,

and the front led.

• Alarms in ‘Full slave’ and ‘Text’ modes

In ‘Full slave’ and ‘Text’ modes, the alarms are controlled through the bus.

An alarm can be associated to the watchdog. This alarm will acvate when the watchdog error acvates

secon 1.18.4)

. This funcon allows to acvate a relay to

(see

inform about loss of communicaon.

• Alarms in ‘Process slave’ mode

In ‘Process slave’ mode, the alarms are controlled locally at the instrument, and the operator must manually congure them.

Each alarm has several parameters for conguraon, starng with the usual setpoint, hysteresis and maximum (alarm acve when reading is higher than setpoint) or minimum (alarm acve when reading is lower than minimum) alarm types

(see Figure 6)

Each alarm can congure independent acvaon and deacvaon delays. These delays aect the alarm as a whole, and the delay will aect the front led and the

associated relay.

Conguring a second setpoint creates ‘windowed alarms’. The windowed alarm controls with a single relay output if the reading is inside or outside the values dened

(see Figure 7)

Acvate the ‘inverted relay’ funcon to invert the acvaon logic of the associated relay.

Acvate the ‘locked alarms’ funcon will force the operator to interact with the instrument when an alarm has been acvated. Once acvated, the alarm will remain locked at acve state, even if the reading returns to a value below setpoint, unl the operator manually unlocks the alarms pressing the front key ‘LE’ (or the remote key ‘LE’, see secon 3.1).

• at the ‘Acve’ (‘Act’) parameter select ‘on’

• at the ‘Type of alarm’ (‘TypE’) parameter select ‘MAX’ for

maximum alarm (acvates when reading is higher than setpoint), or ‘MIn’ for minimum alarm (acvates when reading is lower than setpoint), or select watchdog alarm (‘W.doG’) to acvate the alarm in case of watchdog error

(see secon 1.18.4).

• at the ‘Setpoint’ (‘SEt’) parameter congure the alarm ac-

vaon point. Parameter value is accessible through ‘fast access’ (see secon 1.18.10).

• at the ‘Hysteresis’ (‘hySt’) parameter select the hysteresis

value. Hysteresis applies to the alarm deacvaon. Alarm deacvates once the reading is beyond the setpoint plus the hysteresis value. Hysteresis prevents relay switching in case of signal uctuaons close to the setpoint value.

• at the ‘Acvaon delay’ (‘dEL.0’) parameter congure the

delay to apply before the alarm is acvated. Delay starts to count once the setpoint is reached. Value from 0.0 to 99.9

seconds.

• at the ‘Deacvaon delay’ (‘dEL.1’) parameter congure

the delay to apply before the alarm is deacvated. Delay starts to count once the setpoint is reached plus the hysteresis value. Value from 0.0 to 99.9 seconds.

• to work with ‘windowed alarms’ (see Figure 7) acvate

‘Setpoint 2’ (‘SEt2’) to ‘on’ and then congure the desired second setpoint value. Second setpoint must always be higher in value than the rst setpoint.

• at the ‘Inverted relay’ (‘r.Inv’) parameter select ‘on’ to in-

vert the acvaon logic of the relay. Relay is inacve when alarm is acve, and relay is acve when alarm is inacve.

• at the ‘Locked alarm’ (‘A.Lck’) parameter select ‘on’ to block the automac alarm deacvaon. Alarm deacvaon must be performed manually, by pressing the ‘LE’ front buon (see secon 1.18.15).

1.18.10 Fast access

1.18.12 ‘On power up’ funcon

The ‘fast access’ is an operator congurable menu. The operator can access this menu with a single press of the front key ‘UP’ (5). The congured menu entries will be accessible. Eligible parameters to be accessed by this menu are:

• access to the bus acvity through the ‘UP’ (5) key allows to see if there is acvity at the bus (see 1.18.11).

• access to the maximum and minimum alarms through the ‘UP’ (5) key allows to read and reset the values. To reset the memory values: visualize the value on display, press the ‘UP’ (5) key, when the ‘rSt’ message appears, press ‘SQ’ (<) . The instrument will return to the memory visualizaon. Press the ‘LE’ (3) key to exit his menu.

• access to the alarm setpoints through the ‘UP’ (5) key allows to read and modify the values. Only in ‘Process slave’

mode.

• access to the address through the ‘UP’ (5) key allows to read the local address of the instrument.

The ‘fast access’ menu is not aected by the password funcon. This means that the conguraon menu can be password blocked, while some congured funcons or parameters can sll be accessible to the operator through the ‘fast access’ menu.

• Super fast access

If only a single funcon is selected for the ‘fast access’ menu, pressing the the ‘UP’ (5) key will shortly display the funcon name and then automacally jump to the funcon value.

The ‘On Power Up’ (‘on.Pu’) funcons allows to dene a series of acons to acvate when the instrument restarts aer a power loss. Funcons available are a delay so the instrument waits a dened me before starng to measure and control, and the state of the alarms. The funcons will apply only aer a restart due to power-loss, they will not apply aer a restart due to changes in conguraon.

Delaying the measure and control funcons gives addional me to elements of the system who are slower, so they can start completely before the instrument begins to acquire signal and control the outputs.

While on delay mode, the instrument shows all decimal points lightened and ashing, all alarms are deacvated, and there is no signal acquision or communicaons control. When the delay me is over, the instrument starts its normal funcon-

ing.

1.18.13 ‘Setpoint on bus’ parameter

In ‘Process slave’ mode, the alarms are controlled locally and the alarm conguraon is performed by the operator through the front keypad. Enable the ‘Setpoint on bus’ (‘StP.b’) to ‘on’ to enable the wring of setpoint alarms though the bus. By default the value if ‘oFF’.

Note : when the ‘setpoint on bus’ parameter is enabled, writing a value to the register will update the alarm setpoint, but modifying a setpoint through the front keypad will not update the register value.

1.18.11 ‘Bus acvity’ funcon

‘Bus acvity’ funcon is a detector of electrical acvity on the bus. The funcon is to help when connecng the instrument to the bus for the rst me. It provides informaon on wether there is electrical acvity on the bus or not.

The ‘Bus acvity’ funcon is visible in the form of a counter increasing its value on the display. It indicates that the UART is detecng informaon bytes on the bus. This detecon means that there are data on the bus, and that it conforms to the congured speed and data format.

The ‘Bus acvity’ is accessible through the key ‘UP’ (5) when conguring the fast access menu (see secon 1.18.10).

1.18.14 Save setpoint in E2PROM

Select ‘on’ to save to the internal E2PROM setpoint values updated through the bus (see secon 1.18.13). By default this parameter is set to ‘oFF’ as the expected life for an E2PROM memory is around 100.000 saving cycles.

1.18.15 Key ‘LE’

The ‘LE’ (3) key at the front of the instrument can be congured to acvate several funcons. Only one funcon can be assigned to the ‘LE’ (3) key. Eligible funcons are the alarm unlock funcon (see secon 1.18.7).

1.20 Mounng

The instrument xaons are designed to allow panel mount, wall mount, or hanging mount. For each type of mounng,

• Panel mount. Apply the cut-out to the panel as seen on

secon 1.8. Remove the side xaons. Introduce the instrument into the panel cut-out. Mount the side xaons as shown (see Figure 8). Slightly loosen the xaon screw of one side and press the instrument against the panel. Tighten the xaon screw so it presses the panel and maintains the xaon. Repeat with the opposite side xaon. For IP65 protecon at the panel juncon, see the IPB accessories at secon 3.

Fixaon screws

Side xaons

The Modbus RTU protocol denes the following scenarios when a ‘Master’ is sending a frame to a ‘Slave’:

• the ‘Slave’ device receives the frame correctly and replies with the requested data

• the ‘Slave’ devices detects a CRC error, parity error, or other. and discards the frame without generang a reply frame. The ‘Master’ will detect a ‘TIMEOUT’ condion due to the absence of reply.

4.7 CRC calculaon

The ‘frame value’ for the CRC byte is calculated applying a XOR funcon to the ‘frame value’ (see secon 4.5) of all bytes in secons ‘Header’ and ‘Data’, from byte ‘0’ (‘STX’) to the last data byte (‘Dn’).

• if the calculated CRC value is lower than ‘32’, it is normalized by applying the ‘one’s complement’ funcon .

CRC0=STX ^ ID ^ RSV ^ FROM ^ TO ^ REG ^ RSV ^ LONG ^ D0 ^...^ Dn

• if (CRC0<32) -> CRC=!CRC0 (one’s complement funcon)

• if (CRC0>31) -> CRC=CRC0
