GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CUB®5 provides the user the ultimate in flexibility, from its complete user programming to the optional setpoint control and communication capability. The meter can be programmed as a single or dual counter with rate indication capability. The display can be toggled either manually or automatically between the selected displays.

The CUB5 display has 0.46" (11.7 mm) high digits. The LCD is available in two versions, reflective (CUB5R000) and backlight (CUB5B000). The backlight version is user selectable for green or red backlighting with variable display intensity.

The counter is programmable for one of eight different count modes, including bi-directional and quadrature. When programmed as a dual counter, each counter has a separate scale factor and decimal points. In the counter/rate indicator mode, each have their own scaling and decimal point read-outs in different engineering units. The internal batch counter can be used to count setpoint output activations.

The meter has two separate inputs which provide different functions depending on which operating mode is selected. Input A accepts the signal for the Count and/or Rate displays, while Input B accepts the signal for the Count display or direction control. In the anti-coincidence mode, both inputs are monitored simultaneously so that no counts are lost. The resulting display can be chosen as the sum or difference of the two inputs. The Rate Indicator has programmable low (minimum) and high (maximum) update times to provide optimal display response at any input frequency. There is a programmable user input that can be programmed to perform a variety of functions.

The capability of the CUB5 can be easily expanded with the addition of option cards. Setpoint capability is field installable with the addition of the single setpoint relay output card or the dual setpoint solid state output card. Serial communications capability for RS232 or RS485 is added with a serial option card.

The CUB5 can be powered from an optional Red Lion Micro-Line/Sensor Power Supply (MLPS), which attaches directly to the back of a CUB5. The MLPS is powered from 85 to 250 VAC and provides up to 400 mA to drive the unit and sensors.

COUNTER

The CUB5 receives incoming pulses and multiplies them by the Count Scale Factor to obtain the desired reading for the count display. Input A accepts the signal for the count and Input B is used for quadrature, dual counter, anti- coincidence counting, or up/down control counting.

RATE

The rate indicator utilizes the signal at Input A to calculate the rate value using a time interval method (1/tau). The unit counts on the negative edge of the input pulses. After the programmed minimum update time elapses and the next negative edge occurs, the unit calculates the input rate based on the number of edges that occurred during the elapsed time. The input rate is then multiplied by the rate scaling value to calculate the rate display.

At slower rates, averaging can be accomplished by programming the rate minimum update time for the desired response. Extensive scaling capabilities allow practically any desired reading at very slow count rates.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

WIRING OVERVIEW

Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.

Strip the wire, leaving approximately 0.3" (7.5 mm) bare lead exposed (stranded wires should be tinned with solder.) Insert the lead under the correct screw-clamp terminal and tighten until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify tightness.) Each terminal can accept up to one #14 AWG (2.55 mm) wire, two #18 AWG (1.02 mm), or four #20 AWG (0.61 mm).

EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Although Red Lion Controls Products are designed with a high degree of immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods must be followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical noise, source or coupling method into a unit may be different for various installations. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very important and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome installation. Listed are some EMI guidelines for a successful installation in an industrial environment.

1. A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly connected

to protective earth.

2. Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield connection

should be made as short as possible. The connection point for the shield

depends somewhat upon the application. Listed below are the recommended

methods of connecting the shield, in order of their effectiveness.

a. Connect the shield to earth ground (protective earth) at one end where the

unit is mounted.

b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when

the noise source frequency is over 1 MHz.

3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC

power lines, conductors, feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and

heaters, etc. The cables should be run through metal conduit that is properly

grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long

CAUTION: The Plug-in cards and main circuit board 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, only handle the cards by the edges. Dirt, oil or other contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely affect circuit operation.

REMOVE/REPLACE THE REAR COVER

and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation

is near a commercial radio transmitter. Also, Signal or Control cables within

an enclosure should be routed as far away as possible from contactors,

control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.

4. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.

5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression

devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables is

effective. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are

recommended:

Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (RLC part number FCOR0000) Line Filters for input power cables:

Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (Red Lion Controls # LFIL0000)

6. To protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to minimize radiated

and conducted noise (EMI), some type of contact protection network is

normally installed across the load, the contacts or both. The most effective

location is across the load.

a. Using a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (RC) network or metal oxide

varistor (MOV) across an AC inductive load is very effective at reducing EMI and increasing relay contact life.

b. If a DC inductive load (such as a DC relay coil) is controlled by a transistor

switch, care must be taken not to exceed the breakdown voltage of the transistor when the load is switched. One of the most effective ways is to place a diode across the inductive load. Most RLC products with solid state outputs have internal zener diode protection. However external diode protection at the load is always a good design practice to limit EMI. Although the use of a snubber or varistor could be used. RLC part numbers: Snubber: SNUB0000 Varistor: ILS11500 or ILS23000

7. Care should be taken when connecting input and output devices to the

instrument. When a separate input and output common is provided, they

should not be mixed. Therefore a sensor common should NOT be connected

to an output common. This would cause EMI on the sensitive input common,

which could affect the instrument’s operation.

PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (SEL KEY)

It is recommended all programming changes be made off line, or before installation. The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters can be programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by pressing and holding the SEL key. If it is not accessible then it is locked by either a security code, or a hardware lock.

MODULE ENTRY (SEL & RST KEYS)

The Programming Menu is organized into separate modules. These modules group together parameters that are related in function. The display will alternate between Pro and the present module. The RST key is used to select the desired module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the SEL key.

MODULE MENU (SEL KEY)

Each module has a separate module menu (which is shown at the start of each module discussion). The SEL key is pressed to advance to a particular parameter to be changed, without changing the programming of preceding parameters. After completing a module, the display will return to Pro NO. Programming may continue by accessing additional modules.

SELECTION / VALUE ENTRY

For each parameter, the display alternates between the present parameter and the selections/value for that parameter. The RST key is used to move through the selections/values for that parameter. Pressing the SEL key, stores and activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter to the next parameter.

For numeric values, press the RST key to access the value. The right hand most digit will begin to flash. Pressing the RST key again increments the digit by one or the user can hold the RST key and the digit will automatically scroll. The SEL key will advance to the next digit. Pressing and holding the SEL key will enter the value and move to the next parameter.

SCALING FOR COUNT INDICATION

The CUB5’s scale factor is factory set to 1, to provide one count on the display for each pulse that is input to the unit. In many applications, there will not be a one-to-one correspondence between input pulses and display units. Therefore, it is necessary for the CUB5 to scale or multiply the input pulses by a scale factor to achieve the desired display units (feet, meters, gallons, etc.)

The Count Scale Factor Value can range from 00.0001 to 99.9999. It is important to note that the precision of a counter application cannot be improved by using a scale factor greater than one. To accomplish greater precision, more pulse information must be generated per measuring unit. The following formula is used to calculate the scale factor.

Scale Factor =

Number of Pulses

WHERE:

Desired Display Units: Count display units acquired after pulses that occurred.

Number of Pulses: Number of pulses required to achieve the desired

Decimal Point Position:

0 = 1

0.0 = 10

0.00 = 100

0.000 = 1000

0.0000 = 10000

0.00000 = 100000

EXAMPLE: The counter display is used to indicate the total number of feet

used in a process. It is necessary to know the number of pulses for the desired

units to be displayed. The decimal point is selected to show the resolution in

hundredths.

Scale Factor =

Number of Pulses

Given that 128 pulses are equal to 1 foot, display total feet with a one- hundredth resolution.

SCALING FOR RATE INDICATION

To scale the rate, enter a Scaling Display value with a corresponding Scaling Input value. These values are internally plotted to a display value of 0 and input value of 0.0 Hz. A linear relationship is formed between these points to yield a rate display value that corresponds to the incoming input signal rate. The meter is capable of showing a rate display value for any linear process.

SCALING CALCULATION

If a display value versus input signal (in pulses per second) is known, then those values can be entered into Scaling Display (RAtE dSP) and Scaling Input (RAtE INP). No further calculations are needed.

If only the number of pulses per ‘single’ unit (i.e. # of pulses per foot) is known, then it can be entered as the Scaling Input value and the Scaling Display value will be entered as the following:

RATE PER

Second 1 # of pulses per unit

Minute 60 # of pulses per unit

Hour 3600 # of pulses per unit

NOTES:

1. If # of pulse per unit is less than 10, then multiply both Input and Display values by 10.

2. If # of pulse per unit is less than 1, then multiply both Input and Display values by 100.

3. If the Display value is raised or lowered, then Input value must be raised or lowered by the same proportion (i.e. Display value for per hour is entered by a third less (1200) then Input value is a third less of # of pulses per unit). The same is true if the Input value is raised or lowered, then Display value must be raised or lowered by the same proportion.

4. Both values must be greater than 0.0.

EXAMPLE:

1. With 15.1 pulses per foot, show feet per minute in tenths. Scaling Display = 60.0 Scaling Input = 15.1.

2. With 0.25 pulses per gallon, show whole gallons per hour. (To have greater accuracy, multiply both Input and Display values by 10.) Scaling Display = 36000 Scaling Input = 2.5.

DISPLAY (RAtE dSP) INPUT (RAtE INP)

INPUT FREQUENCY CALCULATION

The meter determines the input frequency by summing the number of falling edges received during a sample period of time. The sample period begins on the first falling edge. At this falling edge, the meter starts accumulating time towards Low Update and High Update values. Also, the meter starts accumulating the number of falling edges. When the time reaches the Low Update Time value, the meter looks for one more falling edge to end the sample period. If a falling edge occurs (before the High Update Time value is reached), the Rate display will update to the new value and the next sample period will start on the same edge. If the High Update Time value is reached (without receiving a falling edge after reaching Low Update Time), then the sample period will end but the Rate display will be forced to zero. The High Update Time value must be greater than the Low Update Time value. Both values must be greater than 0.0. The input frequency calculated during the sample period, is then shown as a Rate value determined by the scaling calculation.

RATE LOW UPDATE TIME

LO-Udt



The Low Update Time is the minimum amount of time between display updates for the rate display. Values of 0.1 and 0.2 seconds will update the display correctly but may cause the display to appear unsteady.

HI-Udt



The High Update Time is the maximum amount of time before the rate display is forced to zero. (For more explanation, refer to Rate Value Calculation.) The High Update Time must be higher than the Low Update Time and higher than the desired slowest readable speed (one divided by pulses per second). The factory setting of 2.0, will force the display to zero for speeds below 0.5 Hz or a pulse every 2 seconds.

This parameter is used to copy all the program settings from one CUB5 meter directly to another CUB5 meter, through the serial communications cards (RS232 or RS485). The USB programming card cannot be used for the copy procedure. No PC connection or additional software is required. Copying program settings eliminates the need for repetitive programming when multiple meters use identical settings.



NO YES

Copy Requirements:

To copy program settings from one meter to another requires the following:

1. Both meters must have the same software version (Version 3.1 or later). The

version is displayed during the meter power-up sequence, or in Module 3 at

the Software Version Display parameter. (See Module 3 for details)

2. The meter receiving the program settings (receiver) must have the Baud Rate

set to 9600 baud. Since this is the factory default setting, a new meter will

arrive ready for copying. The meter sending the program settings (master)

should be set to the desired Baud Rate for the application (if different than

9600). This Baud Rate setting will then be copied to the receiver.

Copy Connections:

To connect the meters for copying, install a serial communications card of the same type into each meter (RS232 or RS485). Connect the meters using the proper cable listed in the chart.

This indicates successful communication between the master and receiver. If the receiver message is not displayed, be sure the proper cable is connected.

5. When copying is complete, the receiver displays the power-up sequence and returns to normal operating mode, programmed with all the same settings as the master meter. The master remains at the COPY prompt, ready to connect another receiver for copying.

Sending Serial 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, and numerical data (if writing data to the meter) followed by a 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 all the active selections chosen in the Print Options menu parameter.

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 Command Response Time section for differences in

meter response time when using the * and $ terminating characters.

Address a specific meter. Must be followed by one or two digit node address. Not required when node address = 0.

Read a register from the meter. Must be followed by a register ID character.

Write to register of the meter. Must be followed by a register ID character and numeric data.

Reset a count value or setpoint output. Must be followed by a register ID character

Initiates a block print output. Registers in the print block are selected in Print Options.

2. Node address = 5, Read Counter A, response time of 50 msec min String: N5TA*

3. Node address = 0, Reset Setpoint 1 output String: RF*

4. Node address = 31, Request a Block Print Output, response time of 2 msec min String: N31P$

Transmitting Data to the Meter

Numeric data sent to the meter must be limited to transmit details listed in the Register Identification Chart. Leading zeros are ignored. Negative numbers must have a minus sign. The meter ignores any decimal point and conforms the number to the scaled resolution. (For example: The meter’s scaled decimal point position is set for 0.0 and 25 is written to a register. The value of the register is now 2.5. In this case, write a value of 250 to equal 25.0).

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

with a transmit value command for readback verification.

Receiving Data From The Meter

Data is transmitted from the meter in response to either a transmit command (T), a block print request command (P) or a User Input print request. The response from the meter is either a full field transmission or an abbreviated transmission, depending on the selection chosen in Module 5.

Full Field Transmission

Byte Description

1, 2 2 byte Node Address field [00-99]

3 <SP> (Space)

4-6 3 byte Register Mnemonic field

7-18 12 byte data field; 10 bytes for number, one byte for sign,

one byte for decimal point

19 <CR> (carriage return)

20 <LF> (line feed)

21 <SP>* (Space)

22 <CR>* (carriage return)

23 <LF>* (line feed)

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

The first two characters transmitted are the meter address. If the address assigned is 0, two spaces are substituted. A space follows the meter address field. The next three characters are the register mnemonic, as shown in the Register Identification Chart.

The numeric data is transmitted next. The numeric field (bytes 7 to 18) is 12 characters long. When a requested counter or rate value exceeds the meter’s display limits, an * (used as an overflow character) replaces a space in byte 7. Byte 8 is always a space.

The remaining ten positions of this field consist of a minus sign (for negative values), a floating decimal point (if applicable), and eight positions for the requested value. The data within bytes 9 to 18 is right-aligned with leading spaces for any unfilled positions.

The end of the response string is terminated with a <CR> and <LF>. After the last line of a block print, an extra <SP>, <CR> and <LF> are added to provide separation between the print blocks.

Abbreviated Transmission

Byte Description

1-12 12 byte data field, 10 bytes for number, one byte for

sign, one byte for decimal point

13 <CR> (carriage return)

14 <LF> (line feed)

15 <SP>* (Space)

16 <CR>* (carriage return)

17 <LF>* (line feed)

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

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, Counter A = 875 17 CTA 875 <CR><LF>

2. Node address = 0, full field response, Setpoint 1 = -250.5 SP1 -250.5<CR><LF>

3. Node address = 0, abbreviated response, Setpoint 1 = 250, last line of block

250<CR><LF><SP><CR><LF>

Command Response Time

The meter can only receive data or transmit data at any one time (half-duplex operation). During RS232 transmissions, the meter ignores commands while transmitting data, but instead uses RXD as a busy signal. When sending commands and data to the meter, a delay must be imposed before sending another command. This allows enough time for the meter to process the command and prepare for the next command.

At the start of the time interval t1, the computer program prints or writes the string to the com port, thus initiating a transmission. During t1, the command characters are under transmission and at the end of this period, the command terminating character (* or $) is received by the meter. The time duration of t1 is dependent on the number of characters and baud rate of the channel.

t1 = (10 times the # of characters) / baud rate

At the start of time interval t2, the meter starts the interpretation of the command and when complete, performs the command function. This time interval t2 varies. If no response from the meter is expected, the meter is ready to accept another command.

If the meter is to reply with data, the time interval t2 is controlled by the use of the command terminating character. The ‘*’ terminating character results in a response time of 50 msec. minimum. 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 (t2) of 2 msec. minimum. 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 t3, the meter responds with the first character of the reply. As with t1, the time duration of t3 is dependent on the number of characters and baud rate of the channel. At the end of t3, the meter is ready to receive the next command.

t3 = (10 times the # of characters) / baud rate

The maximum serial throughput of the meter is limited to the sum of the times t1, t2 and t3.

Communication Format

Data is transferred from the meter through a serial communication channel. In serial communications, the voltage is switched between a high and low level at a predetermined rate (baud rate) using ASCII encoding. The receiving device reads the voltage levels at the same intervals and then translates the switched levels back to a character. The voltage level conventions depend on the interface standard. The table lists the voltage levels for each standard.

LOGIC INTERFACE STATE RS232* RS485*

1 mark (idle) TXD,RXD; -3 to -15 V a-b < -200 mV

0 space (active) TXD,RXD; +3 to +15 V a-b > +200 mV

* Voltage levels at the Receiver

Data is transmitted one byte at a time with a variable idle period between characters (0 to ∞). Each ASCII character is “framed” with a beginning start bit, an optional parity bit and one or more ending stop bits. The data format and baud rate must match that of other equipment in order for communication to take place. The figures list the data formats employed by the meter.

Character Frame Figure

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.

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 CUB5 meter ignores the parity bit of incoming data and sets the parity bit to odd, even or none (mark parity) for outgoing data.

Stop Bit

The last character transmitted is the stop bit. The stop bit provides a single bit period pause to allow the receiver to prepare to re-synchronize to the start of a new transmission (start bit of next byte). The receiver then continuously looks for the occurrence of the start bit. If 7 data bits and no parity is selected, then 2 stop bits are sent from the meter.
