INSTALLING AN OPTION CARD

Caution: The option and main circuit cards contain static sensitive
components. Before handling the cards, discharge static charges
from your body by touching a grounded bare metal object. Ideally,
handle the cards at a static controlled clean workstation. Also,
handle the cards by the edges only. Dirt, oil or other contaminants
that may contact the cards can adversely affect circuit operation.

Warning: Exposed line voltage exists on the circuit boards. Remove
all power to the meter AND load circuits before accessing the unit.

1. Remove the main assembly from the rear of the case. Squeeze the finger
holds on the rear cover, or use a small screwdriver to depress the side
latches to release it from the case. It is not necessary to separate the rear
cover from the main circuit card.

2. Locate the option card connector for the type of option card to be installed.
Hold the unit by the rear connector, not the display board, when installing
an option card.

3. Install the option card by aligning the option card connector with the slot
bay in the rear cover. The cards are keyed by position with different main
board connector locations. Be sure the connector is fully engaged and the
tab on the option card rests in the alignment slot on the display board.

4. Slide the assembly back into the case. Be sure the rear cover latches fully
into the case.

5. Apply the option card label to the bottom side of the meter. Do not cover
the vents on the top surface of the meter .The surface of the case must be
clean for the label to adhere properly. Apply the label to the area designated
by the large case label.

DESCRIPTION

This bulletin serves as a guide for the installation, configuration and
operation of the RS232 and RS485 cards for the DP63 family of meters. Only
one communication card can be used at a time.

The meter can be fitted with up to three different option cards. The slot bays
of the option cards are dedicated to a particular card function. The option card
functions are: serial communications, analog output and setpoint output. Only
one card from each function category can be installed into the meter.

RS232 Communications

RS232 is intended to allow only two devices to communicate over distances up
to 50 feet. Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) transmits data on the Transmitted
Data (TXD) line and receives data on the Received Data (RXD) line. Data
Computer Equipment (DCE) receives data on the TXD line and transmits data on
the RXD line. This meter emulates a DTE. If the other device connected to the
meter also emulates a DTE, the TXD and RXD lines must be interchanged for
communications to take place. This is known as a null modem connection. Most
printers emulate a DCE device while most computers emulate a DTE device.

Some devices cannot accept more than two or three characters in succession
without a pause in between. In these cases, the meter employs a busy function.

As the meter begins to transmit data, the RXD line (RS232) is monitored to
determine if the receiving device is “busy”. The receiving device asserts that it
is busy by setting the RXD line into a space condition (logic 0). The meter then
suspends transmission until the RXD line is released by the receiving device.

RS485 Communications

The RS485 communication standard allows the connection of up to 32
devices on a single pair of wires, distances up to 4,000 ft. and data rates as high
as 10M baud. The same pair of wires is used to both transmit and receive data.
An RS485 bus is therefore always half-duplex, that is, data cannot be received
and transmitted simultaneously.

Set the baud rate to match that of other serial communications equipment.
Normally, the baud rate is set to the highest value that all of the serial
communications equipment is capable of transmitting.

Select either 7 or 8 bit data word lengths. Set the word
length to match that of other serial communication equipment. Since the meter
receives and transmits 7-bit ASCII encoded data, 7 bit word length is sufficient
to request and receive data from the meter.

Set the parity bit to match that of the other serial
communications equipment used. 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 the meter transmits and receives data with 2 stop bits. (For
example: 10 bit frame with mark parity)

Sending Commands and Data

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 the command terminator character * or $.

Command String Construction

The command string must be constructed in a specific sequence. The meter
does not respond with an error message to illegal commands. The following
procedure details construction of a command string:

1. The first 2 or 3 characters consist of the Node Address Specifier (N) followed

by a 1 or 2 character node address number. The node address number of the

meter is programmable. If the node address is 0, this command and the node

address itself may be omitted. 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 $. The meter does not begin processing the command string

until this character is received. See timing diagram figure for differences of *

and $ terminating characters.

Command String Examples:

1. Node address = 17, Write 350 to Setpoint 1, response delay of 2 msec min
String: N17VE350$

2. Node address = 5, Read Input value, response delay of 50 msec min
String: N5TA*

3. Node address = 0, Reset Setpoint 4 output, response delay of 50 msec min
String: RH*

Sending Numeric Data

Numeric data sent to the meter must be limited to 5 digits (-19,999 to 99,999).
If more than 5 digits are sent, the meter accepts the last 5. 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 In this case, write a value = 25.0).

Note: Since the meter does not issue a reply to value change commands, follow

with a transmit value command for readback verification.

(CSR) Control Status Register

The Control Status Register is used to both directly control the meter’s
outputs (setpoints and analog output), and interrogate the state of the setpoint
outputs. The register is bit mapped with each bit position within the register
assigned to a particular control function. The control function are invoked by
writing to each bit position. The bit position definitions are:

Although the register is bit mapped starting with bit 7, HEX < > characters
are sent in the command string. Bits 7 and 5 always stay a zero, even if a “1” is
sent. This allows ASCII characters to be used with terminals that may not have
extended character capabilities.

Writing a “1” to bit 4 of CSR selects manual mode. In this mode, the setpoint
outputs are defined by the values written to the bits b0, b1, b2, b3; and the
analog output is defined by the value written to the AOR. Internal control of
these outputs is then overridden.

In automatic mode, the setpoint outputs can only be reset off. Writing to the
setpoint output bits of the CSR has the same effect as a Reset command (R).
The contents of the CSR may be read to interrogate the state of the setpoint
outputs and to check the status of the temperature sensor (DP63500 only).

Examples:

1. Set manual mode, turn all setpoints off:

V is command write, J is CSR and * is terminator.

2. Turn SP1, SP3 outputs on and SP2, SP4 outputs off:

3. Select Automatic mode:

Note: Avoid writing values <0A> (LF), <0D> (CR), <24> ($) and <2E> (*)
to the CSR. These values are interpreted by the meter as end of command
control codes and will prematurely end the write operation.

(AOR) Analog Output Register

The Analog Output Register controls the analog output of the meter. The
manual mode must first be engaged by setting bit 4 of the Control Status
Register. The range of values of this register is 0 to 4095, which corresponds to
0 mA, 0 V and 20 mA, 10 V; respectively. The table lists correspondence of the
output signal with the register value.

*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
(20 mA or 10 V).

Writing to this register while the meter is in the manual mode causes the
output signal to update immediately. While in the automatic mode, this register
may be written to, but the output will not update until the meter is placed in
manual mode.

Examples:

1. Set output to full scale:

VI4095*

2. Set output to zero scale:

Receiving Data

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. In this
case, the response contains only the numeric field. The meter response mode is
established in programming.

Full Field Transmission

* These characters only appear in the last line of a block print.

The first two characters transmitted are the node address, unless the node
address assigned =0, in which case spaces are substituted. A space follows the
node address field. The next three characters are the register ID (Serial
Mnemonic).

The numeric data is transmitted next. The numeric field is 12 characters long
(to accommodate the 10 digit totalizer), with the decimal point position floating
within the data field. Negative value have a leading minus sign. The data field
is right justified with leading spaces.

The end of the response string is terminated with a carriage return <CR> and
<LF>. When block print is finished, an extra <SP><CR> <LF> is used to
provide separation between the blocks.

Abbreviated Transmission

* These characters only appear in the last line of a block print.

The abbreviated response suppresses the node address and register ID,
leaving only the numeric part of the response.

Meter Response Examples:

1. Node address = 17, full field response, Input = 875

17 INP 875 <CR><LF>

2. Node address = 0, full field response, Setpoint 2 = -250.5

Command Response Time

The meter can only receive data or transmit data at any one time (half-duplex
operation). 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 t

1

, the computer program prints or writes the

string to the com port, thus initiating a transmission. During t

1

, the command
characters are under transmission and at the end of this period, the command
terminating character (*) is received by the meter. The time duration of t

1

is

dependent on the number of characters and baud rate of the channel.

t

1

= (10 * # of characters) / baud rate

At the start of time interval t

2

, the meter starts the interpretation of the
command and when complete, performs the command function. This time
interval t

2

varies from 2 msec to 50 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 t

2

is controlled by the use
of the command terminating character. The standard command line terminating
character is ‘*’. This terminating character results in a response time window of
50 msec minimum and 100 msec maximum. This 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 (t

2

) of 2 msec minimum and 50 msec
maximum. The faster 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 t

3

, the meter responds with the first

character of the reply. As with t

1

, the time duration of t3is dependent on the

number of characters and baud rate of the channel. t

3

= (10 * # of characters) /

baud rate. At the end of t

3

, the meter is ready to receive the next command.

The maximum serial throughput of the meter is limited to the sum of the

times t

1

, t2and t3.

Timing Diagram Figure

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.

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 error detection 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. Since the sending and receiving devices operate at the same
transmission speed (baud rate), the data is read without timing errors.

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 fsmeter 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.
