PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION

The safe area Vantageview Super Snoopers are serial input RS-485 Modbus® RTU scanners. These Modbus devices are ideal for applications in need of a rugged solution. The Vantageview decimal version has a two-line decimal display. The Vantageview feet & inches version’s top line displays level in feet and inches up to 399 ft, 11 and 15/16 inches. It includes a 20-segment tank level indicator.

Each can accept up to 16 Modbus process variables (PVs), from up to 16 devices. The scanners automatically cycle through the PVs, with the ability to manually cycle PVs or pause scanning.

A flow meter pulse input for rate, total, and grand total is standard. The total and grand total can display up to 13 digits with the total overflow feature.

Up to four match channels (CV1-CV4) may be used to perform math functions on any of the input variables. Math functions include sum, difference, weighted average, ratio and more. Nested math functions may be used in these math equations, allowing for complex math functions.

The display is programmable to show any input, math channel, units, or tags, on a variety of display combinations between the top and bottom displays.

Standard features include SafeTouch® through-window buttons for operating the scanner without removing the cover, a backlight that makes the display mode visible in any lighting condition, 512 points of input data logging, and two open collector pulse or alarm outputs. A 4-20 mA output is available as an option.

The enclosure is provided with three threaded conduit holes and integrated flanges for pipe or wall mounting. Two conduit plugs are installed; additional plugs are available (part number PDAPLUG75P).

SETUP AND PROGRAMMING

Overview

Setup and programming is done through the infrared through-window SafeTouch® buttons, or using the mechanical buttons when uncovered. There are two slide switches located on the display module. One is used to configure the input and the other is to lock or unlock the SafeTouch

SafeTouch® Buttons

The PD6730X is equipped with four sensors that operate as through-window buttons so that it can be programmed and operated without removing the cover (and exposing the ele ctro nics)in a wet or dirty area. These buttons can be disabled for security by using the THRU-GLASS BUTTONS switch and selecting the OFF setting. This switch is located on the back of the removable electronics module.

SafeTouch Button Operation

To actuate a button, press and remove one finger to the window directly over the marked button area. Remove finger to at least 4 inches away from the window in between button activations. SafeTouch and mechanical buttons may be held to cycle through menus or digits in place of repeatedly pushing a button.

SafeTouch Power Save Mode (Decimal Display -2 Models Only)

SafeTouch buttons enter a power saving mode after three minutes of inactivity. This mode is indicated by a power symbol ( ) appearing in the lower right of the display. Only the in this mode. To activate the SafeTouch buttons, press and hold the menu button for up to five seconds. The display will read

SafeTouch Disabled Mode

When the cover is removed, the four mechanical buttons located next to the sensors may be used. The sensors are disabled when a mechanical button is pressed and will automatically be re-enabled after 60 seconds of inactivity. The SafeTouch power symbol ( ) will blink in the lower right of the display if the buttons are disabled due to a mechanical pushbutton being pressed.

SafeTouch Button Equalize Delay

The SafeTouch buttons are designed to constantly recalibrate for ambient conditions. When the cover position is changed, the cover is removed, or an object is removed that was placed over the front window, it may take a moment for the SafeTouch buttons to recalibrate to the change in conditions.

Allow up to 2 minutes for the SafeTouch buttons to recalibrate to new conditions in these cases where the cover position was changed, or the front window is being unblocked.

SafeTouch buttons will not work if two or more buttons are detected as being

IMPORTANT

SafeTouch

The SafeTouch Buttons are designed to filter normal levels of ambient interference and to protect against false triggering, however it is recommended that the SafeTouch GLASS BUTTONS switch to OFF) if there is an infrared interference source in line-of-sight to the display or if the buttons are not needed.

Button Tips and Troubleshooting

To the extent possible, install the display facing away from sunlight, windows, reflective objects

and any sources of infrared interference. Keep the polycarbonate window clean. Tighten the cover securely. Use a password to prevent tampering. If the cover has not been installed and secured tightly, it may take a moment for the SafeTouch

buttons to properly self-calibrate when the cover is tightened. After all connections have been completed and verified, connect the ribbon cable to the display

module, fasten the display module to the base, install enclosure cover, and then apply power.

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual PV Number Configuration (PV NUM)

The PV Number menu is used to enable and disable each Modbus PV 1 to 16. The Modbus device and registers are configured for each of the enabled PVs. PVs that are not enabled will not appear in other programming menus for display or inclusion in math channel functions (CV).

PV1 to PV16 are programmed in identical menus.

Note: To enable a PV it must be assigned to a specific slave ID.

Enable/Disable PV (ENABLE, DISABLE)

Enable or disable the Modbus PV. Disabled PVs will require no additional configuration. Disabled PVs will not be accessible in other menus or functions.

Slave ID (SLAVEID)

Enter the Modbus ID of the slave device that contains the PV information.

Function Code (FUNCODE)

Select the Modbus function code necessary to read the device. Use the Up and Down arrows to select the appropriate function code, and press Enter to accept the function code.

See the PD6730X Modbus Register Tables available at www.predig.com for more information on function codes.

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual

Data Type (DATATYP)

Enter the data type of the PV information in the Modbus register. Selectable data types are float, short integer, and long integer. Use the Up and Down arrows to select the appropriate data type and press Enter to accept.

For short and long integer types, select binary or binary coded decimal (BCD) formats as well as signe d or unsigned data format.

Byte Format (BYTE)

Select the PV data byte format as it is stored in the Modbus slave device data register. Use the Up and Down arrows to select the appropriate data type related to endianness and byte order.

Byte Selection Byte Type Description

1234 4321 2143 3412

1234 Big endian 4321 Little endian 2143 Big endian with byte swap 3412 Little endian with byte swap

Poll Time (T POLL)

Enter the time between read command sequences. In other words, how often the display values are updated in Master mode. The poll time defines how often the device will begin scanning all enabled Modbus PVs. For example, if the Poll Time is two seconds, the scanner will begin polling all Modbus PVs every two seconds.

This parameter defines the approximate time between updates of a PV value. Communications errors may make updating a PV take longer.

Note: Depending on the Response Timeout, and the number of PV poll requests that time out, it may take more than one poll time to poll all enabled Modbus PVs. In this scenario, the scanner will begin another round of polling at the next poll time interval.

For example: Due to transmission errors, the scanner with a 2 second poll time requires 2.5 seconds to update all the Modbus PVs. It will begin the second polling all the Modbus PVs at 4 seconds.

Note: The feet and inches display models enter this value in the format XX.X seconds, but no decimal point is present in the display. For example: enter 20 for a poll time of 2.0 seconds.

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual Response Timeout (TIMEOUT)

Enter the time the scanner will wait after a request for information has been sent to a slave device before it will assume an error on that request. Increasing the timeout will help eliminate polling errors when polling slow devices. Increasing the response timeout will also slow the PV update rate in systems that are experiencing communications failures.

Note: The feet and inches display models enter this value in the format XX.X seconds, but no decimal point is present in the display. For example: enter 20 for a poll time of 2.0 seconds.

Retries Before Error (RETRIES)

Enter the number of consecutive failures to poll a device that will result in a communications error message on the display. This is the number of times a specific PV must be polled before the display indicates a communication failure rather than displaying the available PV data. Increasing this number will allow for more polling failures before a communication error is detected, which may be required for some unreliable networks. Increasing this number will also increase how long old data is displayed before a communication error is indicated.

Slave Mode (SLAVE)

In Slave mode, a Modbus master may write up to 16 Modbus PVs to the scanner, which can then display and process the data in the PV Modbus registers, such as displaying the data and using them in math functions.

Programming the scanner for Modbus Slave mode will include defining the Modbus PV registers that are enabled, as well as selecting the time between data writes before an error is assumed. In Slave mode the scanner accepts floating point data (Byte order: 1234 big endian).

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual PV Number Configuration (PV NUM)

The PV Number menu is used to enable and disable each Modbus PV 1 to 16. PVs that are not enabled will not appear in other programming menus for display or inclusion in math channel functions (CV).

PV1 to PV16 are programmed in identical menus.

Enable/Disable PV (ENABLE, DISABLE)

Enable or disable the Modbus PV. Disabled PVs will require no additional configuration. Disabled PVs will not be accessible in other menus or functions.

The Slave mode accepts float data type (Byte order: 1234 big endian).

Slave Response Timeout (TIMEOUT)

If the Modbus data registers for the enabled Modbus PVs are not updated within a certain peri od of time, the scanner can presume that there is an error with the data, or that it is too out of date to be worth displaying. In this case, the scanner will display this PV as NONE (NONE).

At the Response Timeout menu, enter the time limit for the scanner to continue to display data written to the Modbus PV register. To disable this feature, and always display the last data written to the Modbus register regardless of how long ago the data was updated, set this value to 0 seconds.

Snooper Mode (SNOOPER)

In Snooper mode, the scanner will act as a Modbus network packet sniffer. The Snooper mode is used to listen to data being transmitted on the bus. Up to 16 process variables may be read from the RS-485 bus and displayed or used in math functions. The same process variables can be displayed in multiple locations.

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual

Notes: The poll time for scanners set up for Snooper mode must be greater than the Master’s poll time. This

setting corresponds to the time window during which the Snooper listens to the bus for a reply by the slave device being polled by the master device. As soon as the Snooper detects a new reply on the bus, the display is updated. If there is no reply within the Response Time setting, the Snooper goes into communications break condition.

If multiple registers are polled by the master with one command, only the first returned value will be re ad. To minimize the possibility of communication errors and communication break conditions, use a poll time

of 5 seconds or more with slow baud rates (e.g. 4800 bps or less).

Snooper Mode PV Configuration (PV NUM)

The PV Number menu is used to enable and disable each Modbus PV 1 to 16. This menu is identical in Master mode. Refer to PV Number Configuration (PV NUM) on page 37.

Snooper Mode Response Time (T RESP)

If the Modbus data registers for the enabled Modbus PVs are not updated within a certain peri od of time, the scanner can presume that there is an error with the data. After this time has passed, and updated data has not been detected on the Modbus network, the scanner will display this PV as NONE (NONE).

At the Response Time menu, enter the time limit the scanner will display the Modbus PV register last data monitored before it assumes an error.

Setup the Display & Pulse Input (SETUP)

The Setup menu is used to select what information will be displayed on the top and bottom display and to configure the pulse input.

The Display menu is used to select the top and bottom display to show Modbus PVs, pulse input rate, total, or grand total, match channels, and combinations of units and tags. The math channels are configured in the Advanced menu.

Scale Modbus PV to Engineering Units (SCALE)

The Modbus PVs may be scaled to reflect different engineering units than the data read out of the Modbus slave device register. To do this, use the Scale menu to select the type of scale desired.

Note 1: The bottom display of the feet and inches display models does not show decimal points. While the decimal point may not appear, it is included on the factor programming steps. For example: To enter a conversion factor of 2.54, select a factor decimal point with 2 decimal locations, and enter a factor value of 254. Note 2:

MP-SCAL is only available when scaling PV1.

Factor (FACTOR)

Factor scaling uses a conversion factor for scaling a number of PV register counts to a single display count. In other words, the factor acts as a multiplier to change Modbus PV register data units into display engineering units.

Factor Decimal Point (F.DP)

Enter the number of decimal point locations necessary to enter the conversion factor.

Conversion Factor Value (VALUE)

Enter the conversion factor; the multiplier value that is applied to the Modbus PV register data to convert it to the desired display engineering units.

For example: if the PV register data is a height in centimeters, but a height in inches is desired on the display, a factor of 0.393701 would be entered.

(Display Value) = (Modbus Register Value) * (Factor)

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual

Example: (386.08 cm) * (0.393701) = (152.00 in) = (12 ft 8 in)

Note: The bottom display of the feet and inches display models does not show decimal points. While the decimal point may not appear, it is included on the factor programming steps.

For example: if the PV register data is 0 to 100 in a flowmeter, but a flow rate desired on the display is 0 to 250 GPM, a factor of 2.5 would be entered. On feet and inches display models, there is no lower display decimal point. Therefore, a factor decimal point of 1 place is selected, and a conversion factor value of 25 is entered.

Linear (LINEAR)

Linear scaling is used to convert a linear scale of PV to display value.

Input Values 1 and 2 (INPUT)

Enter the Modbus PV register data for scaling points 1 and 2.

Display Values 1 and 2 (DSP)

Enter the corresponding display values for input points 1 and 2.

For example: If a PV register contains data in terms of tank height in feet for a 100 feet tank, the display value can be linearly scaled for an input of 0 feet (Input 1) displaying 0 percent (Display 1), and an input of 100 feet (Input 2) displaying as 100 percent (Display 2).

Not available on Modbus PVs assigned to the feet and inches display of feet and inches display models.

Multipoint Scaling (MP-SCAL)

This type of scaling is only available for PV1. Multipoint Scaling is used when multiple linear scaling points are required, such as round horizontal tanks or conical storage silos. Up to 32 linearization points may be entered, with linear scaling between each point.

Not available on Modbus PV1 if assigned to the feet and inches display of feet and inches display model.

Number of Points (NO PTS)

Enter number of linearization points. The default value is 2 points. For linear inputs requiring only 2 scale points, use Linear scaling.

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual Open Collector Outputs (OUTPUT)

The scanner is equipped with two NPN open collector outputs that may be set up for pulse outputs, alarms, timed pulses, or turned off.

Pulse outputs can be based on the rate, total or grand total counts, one-for-one retransmit for input pulses, a Modbus PV value, or math channel value. Both outputs may be used to generate a quadrature output based on any pulse menu output type. An output test mode is also selectable to generate pulses at a constant programmable frequency.

Alarms are available based on a Modbus PV, math channel, rate, total, or grand total. The alarm status will show on the display even if the output is not wired. The outputs may also be forced on or off.

A timed pulse output generates constant pulses at a specified frequency and on time. The output may be disabled by selecting Off.

Output 1 and 2 Setup (OUT 1, OUT 2)

The function of open collector output 1 and 2 is configured using the Off (OFF), Pulse (PULSE), Alarm (ALARM), and Timer (TIMER) menus detailed below.

In the Output 1 and 2 menus, use the Up button to scroll through the menu choices. Press Enter to make a selection and proceed to the next menu.

See Setting Numeric Values on page 24 for more information on programming numeric count, set, and reset value.

Pulse Output (PUlse)

Pulse outputs may be assigned to: rate (RATE); total (TOTAL); grand total (GrTOTAL); retransmit (RETRAN); quadrature (QUAD); Modbus PV or math channel (PV); or test (TEST).

Input Pulse Rate Pulse Output (RATE)

A pulse rate based pulse output is a factor of the rate display and count (or divisor). The rate display is a factor of the input pulses, time base, and the input k-factor. The rate of output pulses over one time base (seconds, minutes, hours, days) is defined below in terms of input pulses, the input k-factor, and count parameters.

For example, if the input k-factor value is set to 10, and the count set to 10, one output pulse is generated for every 100 input pulses.

Total & Grand Total Pulse Output (TOTAL, GrTOTAL)

A total and grand total based pulse output is a factor of the associated total and count (or divisor). A pulse will be generated for every total accumulation amount equal to the count.

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual

Retransmit Pulse Output (RETRAN)

The retransmitting pulse output will send an output pulse for every input pulse, essentially duplicating the input signal. The output will generate a pulse at the falling edge of every input pulse.

No additional programming is required for a retransmitting pulse output.

Quadrature Pulse Output (QUAD)

The pulse output set to quadrature will duplicate the other open collector output, but lag by ¼ duty cycle (90 degrees out of phase). For example, Out 1 will follow Out 2, if Out 1 is set to QUAD. Only one output should be set to QUAD. If both outputs are set to QUAD, both outputs will be disabled. The other output should be programmed as desired for the quadrature output function, and must be a pulse (PUlse) output selection.

Test Pulse Output (test)

The test output setting programs the output to generate pulses at a programmed constant frequency. Set the frequency decimal point location in the DECPT menu, and then enter the desired output frequency in Hz in the PULSE menu.

Modbus PV or Math Pulse Output (PV)

The pulse output may be based on an enabled Modbus PV or math channels CV1 to CV4. The pulse output frequency in hertz (Hz) is calculated as the value of the selected PV or CV divided by the programmable count (or divisor).

The frequency of the pulse output will update as the PV or CV value is changed. For example, if the output is set to reference PV 2, and PV 2 is reading 1540.5, with a

count or 10, the pulse output frequency will be 154.05 Hz.

Total or Grand Total Alarm (TOTAL, GRTOT)

Program total or grand total Set point. A pulse alarm will generate when the Set value is reached by the total or grand total.

If the total/grand total is set for manual reset, this alarm will remain until the total/grand total is reset to 0.

If automatic total/grand total reset is enabled, the output will generate an alarm for a period of time programmed in ADVANCE  T RESET  TOTAL  AUTO T DELAY. After this time delay, the total/grand total will reset to 0 and the alarm will clear.

If Out 1 and Out 2 are set for total or grand total alarm, the auto reset will be triggered on the highest of the two alarm set points.

For details on setting the total or grand total automatic reset time delay, see Total Reset (T RESET) on page 78.

Force On State (ON)

This alarm mode forces the output to be active, or on. This mode is primarily used to test alarm systems.

Force Off State (OFF)

This alarm mode forces the output to be inactive, or off. This mode is primarily used to test alarm systems.

Timer Output (TIMER)

The timer output produces a constant width pulse at a constant frequency. Program the Period (PERIOD) for one time period from 0.1 to 999999.9 seconds (time from the start of one

pulse to the start of the next pulse). Program the On Time (TIME) for the active low pulse from .01 to 99999.99 seconds (pulse

width). The on time must be less than the delay time. Select Start (START) to begin outputting the constant timed pulse. Select Stop (STOP) to end outputting the constant timed pulse.

number of decimal points used in the constant value. Press Enter to select the number of decimal points selected. Value will display. Set the constant value. See Setting Numeric Values on page 24 for more information.

No Parameter (NONE)

Selecting a parameter of None will disable the math function. Any math function with a parameter of None will display None (NONE) on the display as the value of the math function.

Gate Function (GATE)

The gate function is used for displaying slow pulse rates. Using the programmable gate, the meter is able to display pulse rates as slow as 1 pulse every 9,999 seconds (0.0001 Hz). The gate function can also be used to obtain a steady display reading with a fluctuating input signal.

There are two settings for the Gate, low gate (LO GaTE) and high gate (HI GATE).

Low Gate (LO GATE)

For most applications, low gate setting should be left at 1 second. Increase low gate setting to obtain a steadier rate display. The rate display will update in accordance with the low gate setting, for example if low gate is set at 10, the display will update every 10 seconds; changes in rate between updates will not be reflected until next display update. The low gat may be set from 1 to 99 seconds.

To enter the Low Gate, press Enter to select Low Gate (LO GATE) and program the gate setting in seconds. See Setting Numeric Values on page 24 for more information.

High Gate (HI GATE)

Set the high gate value to correspond to the highest expected pulse period (lowest pulse rate). For instance if the meter must display a rate when there is 1 pulse coming into the meter every 10 seconds, set the high gate to 11 seconds. When the signal is removed from the meter, the display will show the last reading for 11 seconds; then it will read zero.

Scaling the Pulse Rate Input (SCale)

The Scale menu is used to scale the pulse rate input to display the pulse input in engineering units. This is an alternative method of pulse input rate programming to using a k-factor. A signal source is not needed to scale the meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding display values.

To use the scale menu, a minimum of two points are defined by an input frequency and a display value. The scaling points then linearly scale the pulse input.

The Input menus are entered as pulse input frequencies (Hz). The Display values are entered in chosen engineering units. The engineering units for the rate input are defined by a volume unit and a time base. A scale programmed input will work with Automatic Unit Conversions as described on page 56.

For example, if the Rate Input Unit is gallons, and the time unit (Time UNIT) is seconds, the units for t he pulse rate input scaling is gallons/second. The Rate display units are selected separate, in Pulse Rate Display Setup (Rate) on page 50.

Use the Enter button to enter a menu selection or confirm an entry. Use the Up button for selecting engineering units. For instructions on how to program numeric values see page 24.

Number of Points (NO PTS)

Enter number of linearization points. The default value is 2 points. For linear inputs requiring only 2 scale points, the number of points can be left at 2.

Up to 32 linearization points can be selected under the Number of Points function. This allows for the linearization of non-linear inputs.

Scale Units (UNITS)

Enter the units associated with the desired pulse input rate scale values. Selecting the pulse input rate scale units allows the meter to perform automatic unit conversions.

Note: This is not the rate display unit. Entering this unit defines the scaling only. For example, a flowmeter may output 0 Hz at 0 gallons per minute, and 1000 Hz at 250 gallons per minute. In this case, the scale units would be entered as gallons at a time base or minutes. However, the rate display units are chosen in Pulse Rate Display Setup (Rate) on page 50. This allows for the Rate Units menu to be used to automatically change the rate display to accurately display any rate unit desired.

Pulse Input Time Base (T BASE)

This is the time component pulse rate input scaling engineering unit. Enter the appropriate units/second, units/minute, units/hour, or units/day that corresponds to the values being entered at the display 1-32 (dsp) menus.

Scale Point Entry (INP, DSP)

Enter the pulse rate frequency in pulses per second (Hz) for each of the scale points (INP 1-32). After each frequency input, enter the value in engineering units that corresponds to that input frequency. Up to 32 points may be programmed, as determined by the Number of Points (NO PTS) parameter.

Each scale input point is defined by an input frequency and a corresponding display value. The frequency inputs may be entered with up to three decimal places. To access the decimal location

digits when entering a frequency, use the Right button to scroll to the three decimal location digits.

Save Scaling Points (SAVE?)

After entering the last display value, the scaling entries must be saved (SAUE?) before they will be put into effect. However, you may move past this selection using the Up arrow key if you need to go back and correct an earlier entry. Once confident in the entries, however, the user must navigate back to the Save menu screen (SAUE?) and press the Enter key to save the changes.

Calibrating the Pulse Rate Input (Cal)

The Cal menu is used to calibrate the pulse rate input using a live signal source to display the pulse input in engineering units.

To access the Cal menu it is necessary to enable it using the Custom menu.

Non-Resettable Grand Total

The grand total may be configured to be a non-resettable grand total. This is a permanent setting. Configuring the grand total as a non-resettable grand total locks out all setup parameters that could be used to reset the grand total or change the setup of the grand total; including pulse input selection, rate scaling, and conversion factors.

To configure the meter for non-resettable grand total mode, enter the non-resettable grand total password below into the

The non-resettable grand total permanently locks the following parameters from being changed: pulse input selection, K-factor, K-factor units, grand total units, grand total conversion factor, grand total decimal point, scaling, calibration, grand total alarms, pulse input filter, and cutoff.

Locking the meter into a non-resettable grand total is not reversible. It is a permanent meter configuration. Doing so will permanently prevent most pulse input parameters

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual System (SYSTEM)

The system function is used to set the real time clock, set daily data log times, enable/disable the backlight, access analog output controls used in troubleshooting, store, restore, and backup restore feature, enable/disable the battery power alert symbol on the display, and review basic system identification information.

Set Real Time Clock (SETTIME)

The real time clock is used to trigger data log events, and is recorded at every logged data point. The Set Time menu displays the date and time.

Figure 14: Real Time Clock Display Example – Decimal Display Model

Figure 15: Real Time Clock Display Example – Feet & Inches Display Model

Date and Time Setup Menu (SETTIME)

The year, month, day, hour, and minute may all be set by the user. The real time clock will need to be reset if external power and battery power are lost.

To program the time, select the time or date component to be programmed, and press Enter. To enter the time or date as a numeric value, see Setting Numeric Values on page 24 for more information.

Changing the time (hours and minutes) will reset the second clock to 0.

Data Log Setup (DATALOG)

The Data Log menu is used to setup and enable the data log functions. The scanner may contain up to 511 records, each containing the date, time, and log number. Each record may hold either the first eight enabled Modbus PVs and any enabled math channel CVs; or the rate, total and grand total.

The data log can hold 511 records of the first eight enabled Modbus PVs and math channel CVs; 511 records containing the rate, total, and grand total; or 256 records of each.

The data log will make a record of the first eight enabled Modbus PVs and math channel CVs if any Modbus or math channels are enabled. The data log will make a record of the rate, total, and grand total if any of these parameters is enabled. The frequency of these records depends on the data log settings.

For example: If the pulse input is disabled, PV 1, 2, 3, and 4 are enabled, and CV 1 and 2 are enabled, the data log may record 511 logs containing PV 1, 2, 3, and 4, as well as CV 1 and 2. The data log will record these values even if CV2 is the only value set to display.

If the pulse input is enabled, the data log will record 256 logs containing PV 1, 2, 3, and 4, and CV 1 and

2. It will also record 256 logs containing the rate, total, and grand total.

PD6730X Vantageview Super Snooper Modbus Scanner Instruction Manual

There are two ways to configure the time when a data log record is recorded. The Log Time feature allows up to 4 data log events time to be entered for each day. The Log Interval feature allows a data log recording event at after a time interval has passed. At each data log event, all appropriate data records will be recorded.

Only the Log Time or Log Interval may be active at once. While one type of data logging has been enabled, the other menu will be inaccessible.

Log Time Setup (LOGTIME)

The Log Time menu contains four log events (LOG 1 to LOG 4). Each log time is configured independently. For each daily log time desired, enable a log, and set the log time for the hours and minutes the log is to be recorded. The time is set in real-time hours and minutes, based on the real time clock setup.

The Log Time feature will roll-over, deleting the oldest data logs (in blocks of 8) when the log is full and new logs must be recorded. This makes it the most useful for long-term data logging.

Interval Setup (INTERVL)

The Interval menu sets the time interval for data logging. Every time interval, one data log event will be recorded. To enable interval data logging, enable the feature, and set the interval time for the hours and minutes between each log. If set to FULSTOP, the Log Interval feature will not delete old data, and data logging will stop when the log is full. This makes it the most useful for short periods and logging specific functions. If set to CONT, the Log Interval feature will delete the old data when full and continue logging data. The Log Interval feature will roll-over, deleting the oldest data logs (in blocks of 8) when the log is full and new logs must be recorded. This makes it the most useful for long-term data logging.

View Data Log (LOGVIEW)

The Log View menu allows on-screen browsing of the data log event records stored in the scanner. Data points may be navigated by viewing the log number, date and time, first eight enabled PVs and four CVs, rate, total, or grand total amounts. A known log may be jumped to immediately, avoiding a lengthy search for data. All logs may be deleted with the ERASE command, requiring confirmation.

Once the log records are displayed, use the Enter key to display variable within the same log and move

to the next log. Use the Up and Right arrows to move to the next or previous log number.

Note 1: All enabled PVs and CVs will display in order, followed by the, rate, total, and grand total if enabled. The Tag for each PV, CV, rate, total, or grand total will flash before the value.

Note 2: All tags, values, and units will appear on the lower display with exception of feet and inches formatted values on the feet and inches display models. These displays will automatically alternate on the display.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The rugged design and the user-friendly interface of the scanner should make it unusual for the installer or operator to refer to this section of the manual. If the scanner is not working as expected, refer to the recommendations below.

Troubleshooting Tips

Symptom Check/Action

No display or faint display

SafeTouch® Buttons do not respond

Scanner channel display NONE

Long time between channel value updates

Rate display unsteady Increase low gate setting in Advanced menu. Scanner displays span

error message during scaling

Scanner flashes maximum display

Rate display response is too slow

If the display locks up or the scanner does not respond

Backlight does not appear.

Other symptoms Call Technical Support for assistance.

Note: Certain sequences of events can cause une xp ected results. To solve these issues, it is best to start fresh from factory defaults and map changes ahead of time, rather than at rand om.

Check power connection. Press and hold Menu key for 5 seconds to check for Standby mode. If

“WAKEUP?” is displayed, press the Enter key to awaken the scanner from Standby mode.

If is displayed, hold Menu SafeTouch button to leave power save mode. If is flashing, wait 60 seconds to leave mechanical pushbutton lockout

mode. If the cover was recently tightly secured, you may need to wait up to 2

minutes for buttons to self-calibrate to the new cover position due to reflection of light off the polycarbonate window.

Verify Through-glass Button switch on display module is in ON position. Sunlight can interfere with the sensors. It is recommended to shield the

window while operating the buttons by standing so as to block direct sunlight.

Verify that the polling parameters (slave address, register, etc) are correct. If the channel is a math channel CV, verify the chosen math function does not include any NONE selections or un-programmed Modbus PVs.

Verify all channels are communicating. Errors, combined with long timeouts and high allowable number of failures when polling Modbus devices, will combine to significantly delay the polling speed. Reduce the number of allowable timeout errors to check that communications are successful, and if there are errors, reduce the timeout if possible.

Verify minimum input span requirements

Check slave device registers are valid. Check math channels are not exceeding maximum possible display. Check input signal is within scaled range of 99999.

Check if gate settings can be lowered.

Perform hard reset by removing the display module or by removing DC power.

Backlight is intended for viewing assistance in dim lighting. It may not be noticeable under good lighting conditions. Battery powered models turn off the backlight after ten seconds of button inactivity.
