1.13 Conguraon

1.13.1 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 1.14.

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 1.13.17 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

Key ‘SQ’ (<) - press the ‘SQ’ (<) key for 1 second to access the ‘conguraon menu’. Inside the menu, the ‘SQ’ (<) key acts as an ‘ENTER’. It enters into the menu opon se

lected, and when entering a numerical value, it validates the number.

Key ‘UP’ (5) - press the ‘UP’ (5) key to access the ‘fast access’ menu. Inside the menu,the ‘UP’ (5) key sequen-

ally moves through the available parameters and menu entries. When entering a numerical value, it modies the digit selected by increasing its value to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

1.13.3 Counter modes descripon

The instrument oers 5 selectable impulse counter modes. Each mode has 2 independent input channels ‘A’ and ‘B’. Each impulse counter mode has a specic funcon assigned to channel ‘B’.

• Standard counter (‘cn.1’) (see secon 1.13.4) counts

impulses received at channel ‘A’. This counter has an oponal ‘FAST’ mode to count high frequencies up to 250 KHz. The ‘FAST’ mode detects impulses on the rising edge of the impulse. The rst edge received (rising or falling) aer the instrument start up (aer power loss or conguraon change) will not be counted as a valid impulse, as it is needed for internal inializaon.

• Quadrature counter (‘cnq.2’) (see secon 1.13.5) counts

quadrature impulses received at channels ‘A’ and ‘B’, (for example from a bidireconal encoder). The counter increases or decreases depending on the sense of turn of the encoder.

• Counter with inhibit (‘cnI.3’) (see secon 1.13.6) counts

impulses received at channel ‘A’ if channel ‘B’ is inacve. Acvate channel ‘B’ to inhibit the counng of impulses

received at channel ‘A’.

• Counter with add / subtract control (‘cnc.4’) (see secon

1.13.7) increases the counter with impulses received at channel ‘A’ if channel ‘B’ is acve. Deacvate channel ‘B’ to decrease the counter with impulses received at channel ‘A’.

• Dierenal counter (‘cnd.5’) (see secon 1.13.8)

increases the counter with impulses receive at channel ‘A’ and decreases the counter with impulses received at channel ‘B’.

All counter modes have scalable reading through mulplier (1 to 999999) and divider (1 to 999999) parameters, congurable preset value (preset value loads on display when ‘reset’ funcon acvates), congurable reset funcon and accessible from external terminal, front keypad or at alarm acvaon. Alarms with independent acvaon and deacvaon delays and funcons to load ‘preset’ or ‘0’ to generate cycles of counng from ‘preset’ to ‘alarm setpoint’ and back. The number of cycles is accessible.

In case of power loss, the instrument recovers the last conguraon and last counted value.

1.13.9 Ratemeter and periodmeter modes descripon

The instrument oers 2 selectable ratemeter modes and 1 periodmeter mode. Ratemeters provide a reading proporonal to the frequency measured, while reading at periodmeters is proporonal to the me between impulses

• Standard ratemeter (‘rt.6’) (see secon 1.13.10) to read

speed values from impulse frequency signals.

• Quadrature ratemeter (‘rtq.7’) (see secon 1.13.11)

to read speed values and the turning sense of the axis, from two quadrature frequency signals, such as those provided by a bidireconal encoder. Speed is posive when the quadrature turns clockwise and negave when turns counterclockwise.

• Standard periodmeter (‘Prd.8’) (see secon 1.13.12)

to read me between impulses. For applicaons with long periods (long me between impulses) the ‘SLOW’ mode oers the best possible response me for each applicaon.

All modes have scalable reading through mulplier (1 to 999999) and divider (1 to 999999) parameters, and a congurable me window (‘GAtE’) to adjust the measure refresh me.

• ‘SLOW’ mode

The ‘SLOW’ mode is an oponal mode for very slow applicaons. Applies to ratemeter and periodmeter modes. The ‘SLOW’ mode accepts measures frequencies down to 1 mHz (0,001 Hz or 1000 seconds between impulses), and is funconal up to 200 Hz.

The ‘SLOW’ mode oers the fastest response me for any given applicaon, calculang the frequency and period values each me a new impulse is received.

At the The ‘Max. waing me’ parameter set a value between 1 and 1000 seconds. Select ‘0’ to disable the ‘SLOW’ mode. If me between impulses is higher than the congured value, the instrument assumes that the signal has stopped and forces the reading to ‘0’ (both in ratemeters and periodmeters). The ‘GATE’ parameter has no eect if the ‘SLOW’ mode is acve.

At the The ‘Number of pulses’ parameter set a value between 1 and 32. This paremeter denes the number of pulses that will be taken to calculate the period.

In ‘Quadrature ratemeter’ (‘rtq.7’) mode, the ‘SLOW’ mode calculates the frequency between two consecuve impulses received at channel ‘A’, and calculates the turning direcon by comparing impulses at channel ‘A’ with the state of channel ‘B’. The ‘Quadrature edges’ parameter is xed to ‘1--1’.

Applicaon: to measure the speed of the propeller on ships, using two inducve sensors in quadrature, at low revoluons per minute.

• for slow frequencies acvate the ‘SLoW’ parameter conguring the ‘tIME’ parameter between 1 and 1000 seconds. See 1.13.9 for more informaon. Congure the ‘nuMb’ parameter between 1 and 32 impulses.

• if reading is unstable, set the ‘Average lter’ (‘AVr’) parameter to ‘on’ to acvate a recursive lter on the display, and congure the lter strength from 0.0 to 99.9. The lter is stronger for higher values. Strong lters make readings more stable and changes slower to update. Set ‘0’ to disable the lter.

1.13.13 Accepted sensors and signals

The instrument accepts the usual sensors and impulse signals, and provides a list for the operator to choose his sensor. It also allows to congure a wide range of parameters to adapt the reading to other non usual sensors and signals.

The directly selectable sensors are:

• Mechanical contact (free potenal contact)

• Namur

• NPN and PNP, 2 or 3 wires

• Push-pull

• TTL and CMOS

• Pickup

• AC voltage signals up to 30 Vp (inducve)

The congurable parameters are:

• Pull-up / pull-down resistors can be enabled or disabled independently for channel ‘A’, channel ‘B’ and the reset channel.

• The trigger level can be manually congured to any value between 0.0 V and 3.9 V. While modifying the trigger level parameter, the two segments to the le show the actual state ‘1’ or ‘0’ for channels ‘A’ and ‘B’. This informaon

helps to easily idenfy the real trigger level. When the le segments switch from ‘high’ to ‘low’ means that the trigger level for channels ‘A’ and ‘B’ has been reached. The same trigger level applies to channels ‘A’, ‘B’ and reset.

• Acvaon by rising or falling edges can be congured. Channels ‘A’ and ‘B’ share the same conguraon. Reset has its own independent conguraon.

• Excitaon voltage can be congured to 5 V, 9 V, 15 V o 18 V, or even power o the excitaon voltage.

• An anrrebound lter is congurable, by seng a me between 0 and 1000 mSeconds. When an impulse is received,the instrument inhibits the counng of new impulses for the me congured.

See Table 15 below for a list of directly selectable sensors, the associated conguraon parameters for each one and connecons. Parameters can be later on modied through the conguraon menu.

The ‘Sensor’ (‘SnSr’) conguraon menu contains all parameters related to the detecon of the input signal, excitaon voltage and trigger levels.

• enter the ‘Automac conguraon’ (‘Auto’) menu to select a standard sensor from the list. The instrument will congure the appropriate parameters for the sensor selected, as indicated at Table 15. If the instrument does not detect the signal with this conguraon, the following parameters can be manually recongured.

• at ‘Channel A pulls’ (‘PuL.A’) select ‘P.uP’ to acvate the internal pull-up resistors needed for NPN sensors, select ‘P.dn’ to acvate the internal pull-down resistors needed for PNP sensors, or select ‘no’ to disable the pull resistors. Selecng pull-up or pull-down resistors sets the trigger level to 2,5 Vdc.

• at ‘Channel B pulls’ (‘PuL.b’) applies the same as previous entry but for channel B.

• ‘Reset pulls’ (‘PuL.r’) - applies the same as previous entry but for the reset channel.

• at ‘Trigger level’ (‘trIG’) congure the trigger level to detect the impulses. Signals levels above the trigger level are ‘1’ signals, and signal levels below trigger level are ‘0’ signals. Trigger level is selectable between 0,0 and 3,9 Vdc. Channels ‘A’ and ‘B’ share the same trigger level. Trigger level for reset channel is xed at 2.5 Vdc. Ver cal leds to the le are part of the ‘trigger sense’ ulity to help locate the real trigger level for the actual signal. See secon 1.13.13 for more informaon.

• at ‘Channel A acvaon’ (‘Act.A’) congure the acvaon of channel ‘A’ by rising edge (‘on_h’) or falling edge (‘on_0’)

• at ‘Reset acvaon’ (‘Act.r’) congure the acvaon of reset by rising edge (‘on_h’) or falling edge (‘on_0’)

• at ‘Excitaon voltage’ (‘V.EXc’) congure the value for the excitaon voltage to 5 Vdc, 9 Vdc, 15 Vdc or 18 Vdc. Select ‘no’ to disable the excitaon voltage.

• at ‘Anrrebound’ (‘rbnd’) congure the lter that prevents mechanical rebounds to be accepted as real impulses. Congure a value between 0 and 1000 mSeconds. When an impulse is received,the instrument inhibits the counng of new impulses for the me congured. When me is over, the next impulse is accepted and the lter acvates again. Recommended value is 100 mSeconds for a mechanical

contact.

1.13.15 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 1.4). 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.

• Congurable parameters

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 7).

• Acvaon and deacvaon delays

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.

• Second setpoint

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 8).

• Inverted relay

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

• ‘Locked alarms’

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 is 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 ‘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).

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

acvaon point. Parameter value is accessible through ‘fast access’

(see secon 1.13.17)

• 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 8)

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

invert 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 1.13.19)

• at the ‘On alarm’ (‘on.AL’) parameter congure the

acon to acvate when the alarm acvates. Select ‘cont’ to do nothing and connue counng, select ‘to_0’ to load a ‘0’ on display, or select ‘to_p’ to load the preset value on display. Selecng ‘to_0’ or ‘to_p’ congures ‘dEL.1’ to 1 second.

Page 21

1.13.17 Fast access

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 alarm setpoints through the ‘UP’ (5) key allows to read and modify the values.

• 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 preset value to read and modify the value.

1.13.18 ‘On power up’ funcon

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 an automac reset of the counter. The funcons will apply only aer a restart due to powerloss, they will not apply aer a restart due to changes in conguraon.

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.

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oning.

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.

1.13.19 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 reset of the counter and the alarm unlock funcon (see

secon 1.13.15).

Example: an impulse counter acvates alarm 1 when reading reaches 153.000. Automacally the instrument acvates a reset, reading goes to ‘0’, and relay 1 is acvated to inform that the required level has been reached. Counter remains at 0 receives several addional impulses, related to the system not stopping immediately. When the operator arrives, reloads the system and presses key ‘LE’ to return the reading to ‘0’, unlocks the alarm and restarts the system.

1.16 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 1.4. Remove the side xaons. Introduce the instrument into the panel cut-out. Mount the side xaons as shown (see Figure 9). 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

see the posion of the xaons at the images below.

• Wall mount. Mount the side xaons against the wall, as shown (see Figure 11). Each xaon has 2 holes with 4,5 mm diameter and a separaon between hole centers of 30 mm.

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.

• the ‘Slave’ device receives the frame correctly, but replies with an ‘EXCEPTION_CODE’ as it can not process the funcon or register requested.

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
