GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

The Gemini 5200 is a multi-function dual rate indicator which can fulfill almost any rate indication application. The unit can operate as two independent rate indicators, with scaling, decimal point placement, and update times, separatelyprogrammableforeachchannel. The Gemini5200 also hasthree other unit personalities. These modes feature a third display channel, C, which can indicate the ratio, difference or draw between the A and B rate channels.

The programming of the rate channels and the calculated display is very straightforward. Setting up Channel C only requires programming the desired amount of resolution (for ratio and draw) and the appropriate decimal point location. The Gemini 5200 simply takes the two rate values and mathematically calculates display C accordingly.

The Gemini 5200 20 mA Current Loop Communications option provides the capability of two-way serial communications between the Gemini 5200 and a variety of equipment, such as a printer, remote terminal, programmable controller, or host computer. The baud rate can be set to 300, 600, 1200, or 2400 baud. The format for transmitted and received data is 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 paritybit (odd), and a stopbit. When utilizing anexternalpower supply (30 VDC max.), up to sixteen units can be installed in the loop, each with an individual address.When utilizing theGemini’s 20 mAcurrent source,upto sevenunitscan be installed in a loop. The Rate Values, Presets, and Scale Factor can be interrogated or changed by sending the proper command codes and numerical data (if required) to the unit. Various “Print Options” can be selected to automatically interrogate the Rate Values, Presets, and Scale Factor by activating the “Print Request” terminal or by sending a “Transmit Per Print Option” (P) command.

The construction of the Gemini 5200 features a metal die-cast bezel, offering maximum durability with a high quality die-cast appearance. The sealed front panel meets NEMA 4/IP65 specifications for washdown and/or dust when properly installed. Clamp type pressure plate terminals accept stripped #14 AWG wire without lugs.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the manual 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.

Donot use this unit to directlycommand motors, valves, or otheractuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so, can be potentially harmful to persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.

PROGRAMMING THE GEMINI 5200

When your Gemini 5200 arrives from the factory, it has already been programmed to function as a Dual Rate Indicator without the calculated C display. It is programmed with the factory settings listed in the “Factory Settings” section. If it is required to have the unit operate as a speed ratio, speed difference or draw indicator, the Unit Personality function code can be changed to do so.

The personality, functions, and modes are accessed by pressing the appropriate keys as indicated by the embossed numbers above them. A function is defined by a two-digit code which appears on the left side of the display. The modeof that function isshown as a one-digitcodeon the rightsideof the display. At times there will be a “-” sign modifier to the left of the mode.

Data for the Presets, Scale Factors and Timed Output Values are entered differently. Each digit key controls the digit on the display directly above it. Changing the digits can be done by repeatedly pressing the key beneath the digit position you wish to change or by holding the key down. As you hold it down, or repetitively press it, the value of that digit will change cyclically, counting up to 9, then to0,andthen up again. The 6 numbered keys correspond to the six digits, and the “+/-” key corresponds to polarity.

PROGRAMMING THE PERSONALITY

Entering function and mode is easily accomplished by pressing the appropriate digit key. For the personality function, you would enter 41 by pressing the front panel keys, 4 and 1.

Thedigits on the left side ofthe display show the function code; the digits on the right side show the current programmed mode.

Anewmode selection is made by entering a new number. On some of the entries, you have the option of a plus “+” or minus “-” sign. In the cases where a “+” sign is required, no sign will be displayed. If you do enter a “-” sign (using the “+/-” key), a minus sign will be displayed in front of the appropriate digit.

Pressing the “E” key finalizes the change. The display

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

will now show the rate value immediately.

If you do not press the “E” key, the change will not be recorded.The display will remain inthe programming mode for 15 seconds, and then return to normal operating mode using the old function and mode settings.

Whenever the Unit Personality is changed, the factory settings will automatically be loaded into the unit. The factory settings can also be programmedinto the unit by callingup the Unit Personality, puttinga “-” in front of the mode by pushing the “+/-” key, and entering it.

Refer to the “Initial Factory Configuration” section for more details.

PROGRAMMING THE PRESETS, SCALE FACTORS & TIMED OUTPUT VALUES

The Presets and Scale Factor Values are commonly reprogrammed on a daily basis. As such, single keystroke access has been provided on the front panel.

The Gemini 5200 has two Scale Factors, one for Rate DisplayA, and one for Rate DisplayB. Pressing the “3” key will call up the Scale Factor for the current rate value being displayed (Rate A or Rate B).

To call up the “other” Scale Factor, the “+/-” key is first pushed to change the display to the “other” value (Rate A or Rate B), then the “3” key is pushed to display the Scale Factor for that value.

Theinternal unscaled ratevalue ismultipliedby theScaleFactor Value,which

changes the displayed value accordingly.

To display the Preset 1 Value, the “1” key is pushed.

To change the value, the digits can be cycled through in the same manner as discussed for the Scale Factors. The Preset Values can range from -999999 to +999999.

Thenew valuewill beenteredwhen the“E” keyis pressed.

The Timed Output Values are changed by entering two-digit function codes. After the code is entered, the display will show the present Timed Output 1 or 2 Value in seconds with two decimal place resolution. The Timed Output Values can be set from .01 to 599.99 seconds.

Once the Scale Factor is displayed, changing the digits canbeaccomplished by repeatedly pressing the key beneath the digit position you wish to change or by holding the key down, allowing the digit to cycle.

Thenew valuewill beenteredwhen the“E” keyis pressed.

Tochange the Timed Output 1 Value,enterfunction code 53 and enter the new value by holding down or repeatedly pressingthe keybelow thedigitposition youwish tochange.

Thenew value will be enteredwhen the “E” key ispressed. The display will immediately return to the rate value.

TIMED OUTPUT VALUES [Cont’d]

Note: A Timed Output Value of zero cannot be programmed into the Gemini

5200. Ifa value of 0 is entered into the display,and the “E” key is pressed, the unit will remain in data entry mode. If a new value is not entered, it will time out and the unit will continue to use its previous setting.

As with the other functions, you must press “E” to record the changes. For the data entry modes, if you do not press the “E” key, a time out of 5 seconds occurs, and the display returns to operating mode without any changes to the value. The only time any change will occur is when the “E” key is pressed.

OPERATOR ACCESSIBLE FUNCTIONS WITH

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

PROGRAMMING DISABLED

One of the important features of the Gemini 5200 is the ability to disable programming. With this ability, accidental bumping of the keys or tampering by unauthorizedpersonnel can be prevented. However,it may be necessary toallow reset and certain programming functions, such as Presets and Scale Factor Values,to bechanged in dailyoperation. TheGemini 5200, throughthe useofthe “Operator Accessible Functions” modes, can enable these functions even when the “PGM. DIS.” terminal is connected to “COMMON”.

The “Operator Accessible Functions” modes are programmed by entering a two-digit function code (66) and the desired mode. Unlike other function codes, the mode does not take effect immediately. The “PGM. DIS.” terminal must be connected to “COMMON” in order for the Gemini to disable programming and operate as per the mode programmed.

Thereare four basic “OperatorAccessible Functions” Modes available.These modes enable the following functions.

1. NO FUNCTIONS EXCEPT RESET ENABLED - In this mode, manual

reset is enabled, but none of the programming functions can be changed.

However, the functions can be interrogated.

2. PRESET PROGRAMMING AND RESET ENABLED - The entire front

panel is disabled with the exceptions of Preset programmability and manual

reset. All functions can be interrogated.

3. SCALE FACTOR PROGRAMMING AND RESET ENABLED - The

entire front panel is disabled with the exceptions of Scale Factor

programmability and manual reset. All functions can be interrogated.

4. SCALE FACTOR AND PRESET PROGRAMMING, AND RESET

ENABLED - The entire front panel is disabled with the exceptions of Scale

Factor and Preset programmability, and manual reset. All functions can be

interrogated.

All of these modes can be modified with the addition of a “-” sign. The minus sign disables the manual reset, at the front panel and the remote reset (RST., not RST.A) terminal, at the rear of the unit.

There is also a rear panel DIP switch which permits disabling of the front panel resetbutton.This is independent of the rear terminalremotereset, and can be used in conjunction with any front panel disable mode. The combination of a manual and remote reset inputs provides a high level of security without sacrificing flexibility.

DIAGNOSTICS, SELF-TEST, & “WATCHDOG” TIMER

The security of the Gemini 5200 is further enhanced by its self-test diagnostic

and “watchdog” timer capabilities.

The diagnostics are concerned with the special, no power memory of the Gemini 5200. Whenever the power is turned off, all pertinent function settings and measurements are automatically saved. When power is restored, the functions and data are re-instated. This allows you to program the unit once and not have to re-program it until you wish to use it in another mode.

When the function codes and data are saved, computations are made with thesevalues. The result of these computations isstored in the memory to serveas a checkagainstpossible error. On power up, the same computations are repeated on the stored data. If the results do not agree with the stored results, a “P” will appear ontheleft side of the display. If this occurs, refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” for directions.

The Gemini 5200 also contains a “watchdog” timer. In order to insure the software is functioning properly, the program constantly monitors itself. If the proper sequence and timing of internal events does not occur, an “E” will appear onthe left side ofthedisplay. If this occurs,refer to the “TroubleshootingGuide” for directions.

The final type of built-in check, is the front panel initiated self-test. It can be performed at any time, even when the Gemini 5200 is running. It will not interferewith the accumulationof counts orcontrol functions. Afunction codeof “6”, “+/-” starts the test. At this time, whatever was displayed will disappear and be replaced by a string of decimal points and the overflow indicator. Then the display willshow a string of 9’s, then 8’s etc., until astringof 0’s are shown. The self-test will then turn off the overflow indicator and activate the minus “-” sign. Then the unit shows an interlace pattern of -010101, then -212121, followed by

-232323 etc., until -898989 is reached. At this time the outputs can be tested by pressing the “1” or “2” key. (The program disable pin must be disconnected in order to allow activation of the outputs.) An automatic exit will take place after six seconds or immediately if the Program Disable terminal is connected to common.Normal length of display time foreach of the patterns isapproximately

0.5 sec. Rapidly pressing “E” during self-test can speed up the sequence.

INPUT CIRCUITRY & SET-UP

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

There are two independent input channels on the Gemini 5200. Various types ofsensoroutputs can be accommodated by appropriate DIP switchset-up. These include: TTL or CMOS logic, current sinking, current sourcing, dry contact or magnetic pickup.

Both Input Channels A and B consist of a logic input and a separate low level magnetic pickup input. For a complete detailed description of input set-up, see Appendix “A”.

OVERFLOW INDICATION

TheGemini 5200 featuresan overflow indicator(LED) whichislocated tothe left of the sixth digit and above the polarity annunciator. This LED will turn on if the capacity of the display (6-digits) is exceeded or if the following conditions occur.

Uponpower-up, thedisplay will goto zero,and the overflowLED willturn on. The overflow LED is turned on to indicate that the zero on the display is not a measured value. The overflow LED will turn off after the Gemini 5200 completes its rate measurement. It will take 16 seconds if the rate is zero.

The overflow LED canalsoturnon when the rate input frequency exceeds the maximum 3250 cps allowed for a rate update period of 16 sec. See Code 63 “Rate Minimum Update Time”.

PROGRAMMING THE GEMINI 5200 IN DUAL RATEWITHOUT DISPLA YC MODE

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

The rate indicators use a time interval method (1/tau) to calculate the rate value. This method enables high resolution at all input rates. The unit counts input pulses and after a programmable minimum update time has occurred, it waits until the next count edge occurs, takes the elapsed time and number of edges, and calculates the rate value. At slower rates, averaging can be accomplishedby programming the“Minimum Update Time”(0.5 sec. to16 sec.) for the desired response. Extensive scaling capabilities allow practically any desired reading at very slow count rates.

Inthe Dual Rate,without Display Cmode,the two rateindicators operate inan independent non-synchronized fashion. Input A serves as the input to the Rate A indicator and Input B serves as the input to the Rate B indicator. All modes are independently selected for each rate channel.

CODE 41 - UNIT PERSONALITY

The unit personality mode is the first function code that is programmed. This mode will determine the basic operational characteristics of the unit. This programming section deals with the unit programmed as a Dual Rate Indicator without Display C, mode 1. The “Programming The A/B, (A-B)/B, And A-B DisplayC Modes” sectioncoversprogramming of theGemini 5200 when inUnit Personality modes 2, 3, and 4.

Once the Unit Personality mode is changed, the factory settings will automatically be loaded into the unit’s memory. This provides a known starting place. If at any point, it is desired to return to the factory settings for the current mode, the unit personality is called up, a minus is put in front of the mode by pressingthe“+/-” key, and the “E” key is pushedtoload the factory settings. The factory settings are listed on page 5 and 6.

[41 1] DUAL RATE INDICATION - In this mode, the Gemini 5200 operates as

two independent rate indicators. [41 2] DUAL RATE WITH A/B DISPLAYC-Inthis unit personality, the

Gemini 5200 operates as a dual rate indicator with an A/B display C function.

See“Programming TheA/B, (A-B)/B, AndA-B DisplayC Modes” sectionfor

programming details.

[41 3] DUAL RATE WITH A-B DISPLAYC-Inthis unit personality, the

Gemini 5200 operates as a dual rate indicator with an (A-B) Display C function. See “Programming The A/B, (A-B)/B, And A-B Display C Modes” section for programming details.

[41 4] DUAL RATE WITH (A-B)/B DISPLAYC-Inthis unit personality, the

Gemini 5200 operates as a dual rate indicator with an (A-B)/B Display C function. See “Programming The A/B, (A-B)/B, And A-B Display C Modes” section for programming details.

[41 -1] [41 -2] A minus indicator preceding the mode will cause [41 -3] the factory settings to be loaded when entered. [41 -4]

CODE 42 - RESET KEY & TERMINAL ACTUATION MODES

The Reset Button & Terminal Actuation Modes controls the effect that the reset button and terminal have on the two display channels. Resetting will not affect the rate displays or update period in any manner. Reset only affects the output(s) associated with the rate channels.

There is a separate “Rst A” terminal provided which makes it possible to independently reset both the Rate A and B Outputs.

CODE 44 - RATE B MINIMUM/MAXIMUM UPDATE TIME

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

The determinationofthe rate value uses a method in which the elapsed time is measured between the first and last pulse of the update period. The minimum updatetime is the shortestthe time periodcan be. Once theminimum update time has expired, the unit will end the measurement period when the next negative goingcount edge occurs. If theunit does not receive thenextnegative count edge within the maximum update time at the start of the measurement period, the unit will end the time period and the rate display will go to zero. At very slow count rates the update time period will be the actual period of one count cycle.

CODE 45 - RATE B SCALE MULTIPLIER

The Rate B Scale Multiplier is used in conjunction with the Rate Scale Factor B and Rate B Conversion Factor to scale the actual signal input to obtain the desired reading.

[45 1] x 1000 [45 2] x 100 [45 3] x10 [45 4] x1 [45 5] x 0.1 [45 6] x 0.01

CODE 46 - RATE B DECIMAL POINT & LEADING ZERO BLANKING

There are six basic modes of decimal point placement for the Rate B indicator of the Gemini 5200. The decimal point is placed to the right of the display digit that corresponds to the mode identifier. (The right most decimal point, digit 1, is never turned on.) A “-” sign in front of the mode identifier will inhibit leading zero blanking. The absence of a “-” sign will enable leading zero blanking.

[46 1] 0 [46 2] 0.0 [46 3] 0.0 0 LEADING ZERO [46 4] 0.0 0 0 BLANKING [46 5] 0.0000 [46 6] 0.00000

CODE 51 - OUTPUT ASSIGNMENT

The outputs oftheGemini5200 can be assigned to either the Rate A or Rate B

channel or one to each.

The Gemini 5200 has a Preset tracking feature which allows Preset 1 to track Preset2. If Preset trackingis programmed, whenever thePreset 2 valueischanged, the Preset 1 value will also change to maintain the same offset. For example, if Preset 1 is 100 and Preset 2 is 200, changing Preset 2 to 300 will automatically changePreset 1 to 200,maintaining the same 100unit offset. In orderto change the amount of offset, the Preset 1 value is changed. The Preset tracking feature is programmed by adding a “-” modifier in front of the desired mode.

Note: When Preset tracking is enabled, before changing Preset 2 via serial

communications, the Preset 2 value must be interrogated in order to establish

the Preset 1 value.

CODE 52 - OUTPUT 1 TERMINATION MODES

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

The Gemini 5200 has four “Output 1 termination Modes” which control the way Output 1 will terminate or reset. In all modes, Output 1 will terminate immediately when the channel to which it is assigned is manually reset.

A reverse phase mode is available on the Gemini 5200. This refers to the complementing of the logic state of Output 1. With normal phase operation, when the display value reaches Preset 1, Output 1 will turn on. The reset conditionofOutput 1 is output off. In reverse phase operation, Output1 turns off whenPreset 1 is reached.The reset condition ofOutput 1 is outputon. (Note: The state of the relay, if used, is also reversed.) A “-” sign in front of the mode identifier will provide for reversephaseoperation.The absence of a “-” sign will indicate normal phase operation.

[52 3] TERMINATEAT MANUAL RESET- Output 1activates when therate is

greater than or equal to the Preset 1 value. In this mode, once Output 1 is

activated, it does not deactivate until the moment a manual reset occurs.

Output 1 is set for normal phase operation. [52 4] TERMINATE AT MANUAL RESET END - This mode is like the

preceding, except Output 1 deactivates when reset ends. Output 1 is set for

normal phase operation. [52 5] TERMINATE AFTER TIMED OUTPUT1-Ifboth outputs are assigned to

the same rate channel [51 2,3], Output 1 will activate when the rate is below or

equalto the Preset 1 value. Ifeach output is assigned to adifferent channel [51 1],

Output1 willactivate whentherate isgreater thanor equal tothe Preset1 Value.

Output 1 will terminate after the “Timed Output 1 Value” if the timed output

value islessthan the update time of the rate channel. If the timed output value is

greaterthan theupdate time, theoutput willappearto belatched on, deactivating

whentherate drops below the Preset [51 1],or above the Preset [51 2,3]andthe

output time expires. Output 1 is set for normal phase operation. [52 6]BOUNDARYMODE - When in boundary mode, the Preset 1 Value serves

as the boundary point. When the rate value is less than Preset 1, Output 1 is not

activated (normal phase). When the rate value is greater than or equal to the

Preset, Output 1 is activated. If the display value were to drop below Preset 1,

Output 1 would then deactivate. Output 1 is set for normal phase operation.

[52 -3] [52 -4] These modes are the same as above with the exception [52 -5] that Output 1 is set for reverse phase operation. [52 -6]

CODE 53 - TIMED OUTPUT 1 VALUE

The Gemini 5200 has the capability of varying the Timed Output 1 value from

0.01 second to 599.99 seconds. When the code is entered, instead of a single mode identifier digit beingdisplayed,sixdigits will be shown. Refer to the “Programming The Presets, Scale Factors, And Timed Output Values” section for more details about entering. The timed output will be terminated if the unit is manually reset.

The Timed Output 1 Value is used only when in timed output termination

mode, [52 5].

Note: A Timed Output Value of zero cannot be programmed into the Gemini 5200.

If avalue of 0 is entered into thedisplay and the “E” key is pressed, the unitwill not enterthe 0,but willstay in the data entry mode. If a new value is not entered, it will time out and the unit will continue to use its previous setting.

CODE 54 - OUTPUT 2 TERMINATION MODES

The Gemini 5200 has four “Output 2 termination Modes” which control the way Output 2 will terminate or reset. In all modes Output 2 will terminate immediately when the channel to which it is assigned is manually reset.

The determinationofthe rate value uses a method in which the elapsed time is measured between the first and last pulse of the update period. The minimum updatetime is the shortestthe time periodcan be. Once theminimum update time has expired, the unit will end the measurement period when the next negative goingcount edge occurs. If theunit does not receive thenextnegative count edge within the maximum update time at the start of the measurement period, the unit will end the time period and the rate display will go to zero. At very slow count rates, the update time period will be the actual period of one count cycle.

PRESET VALUES

Whenever the display value equals the Preset 1 or 2 Value, an output action will occur. This action depends on the previously programmed modes. The Preset Values may vary from -999,999 to 999,999. Refer to “Programming The Presets, Scale Factors, And Timed Output Values” section for instructions on entering the Preset Values.

“1” - PRESET 1 VALUE “2” - PRESET 2 VALUE

SCALE FACTORSA&B

“3” SCALE FACTOR - The Scale Factor, for whichever Value (Rate A or B) is currently being displayed, is accessed by pressing the “3” key. To access the Scale Factor of the “other” rate display value, the “+/-” key would be pushed (to change the display to the other value), then the “3” key would be pushed. The actual rate (in pps) is multiplied by the Scale Factor, Scale Multiplier, and Rate Conversion factor to obtain the desired display reading. The Scale Factor is used primarily for conversion from existing pulses per unit of measure to the required displayedunits. Thisincludes conversion fromdifferent units ofmeasure (i.efeet tometers, etc.). The ScaleFactor Values may rangefrom 0.0001 to 5.9999.Refer to“Programming The Presets, ScaleFactors, And Timed OutputValues” section for instructions on entering the Scale Factor Values.

PROGRAMMING THE A/B, (A-B)/B, AND A-B DISPLAYC MODES

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

Thissection will dealwith the programmingand operation oftheGemini 5200 inthe modes whichinclude Display C,[41 2,3,4]. Sinceall three displayC modes are very similar in operation, they will all be covered in one section.

BASIC OPERATION

In all of the display C modes, the Gemini 5200 performs a mathematical calculation using Rate channelsA&Btoobtain the Display C value.

The tworate indicators, use a time interval method (1/tau) to calculate the rate value. This method enables high resolution at all input rates. The unit counts input pulses and after a programmable minimum update time has occurred, it waits until the next count edge occurs, takes the elapsed time and number of edges, and calculates the rate value. At slower rates, averaging can be accomplishedby programming the“Minimum Update Time”(0.5 sec. to16 sec.) for the desired response.

Whenoperating in any of the three modeswhich utilize display C, the tworate indicators will synchronize themselves in order to obtain an accurate display C reading. The Gemini5200willdetermine which channel is running at the slower rate, anditwill use that channel to synchronize the other channel. This is done so that both time measurement windows are as close as possible. Because it is necessary to keep the measurement windows the same, there is only one Rate Minimum Update Time setting. The slower channel will determine the update time for the other rate channel and Display C.

If one rate input signal drops out before the update period has completed, that channel will go to zero after the maximum update time has expired. The channel will then continually time-out according to the maximum update time that was selected in Code 63, until a rate signal again appears on its input. After the first time-out, the other channel, which still has a rate signal on its input, will then begin to operate in a non-synchronous manner, updating according to the “Minimum Update Time” and its input frequency. It will not synchronize with the channel that timed-out, and has an update period of 16 seconds.

The Display C channel, however, will only update according to the maximum update time because it is calculated based on both of the rate channels. The rate channels will again synchronize when both channels have a rate signal on their inputs.

CODE 41 - UNIT PERSONALITY

The unit personality mode is the first function code that is programmed. This mode will determine the basic operational characteristics of the unit. This programming section dealswiththe unit personality programmed as a Dual Rate Indicator with Display C, modes 2, 3, or 4. A separate section, “Programming The Gemini 5200 In Dual Rate Without Display C Mode” goes over the programming of the Gemini 5200 when programmed in mode 1.

Whenever the Unit Personality mode is changed, the factory settings will automatically be loaded into the unit’s memory. This provides a known starting place. If at any point, it is desired to return to the factory settings for the current personality,the unitpersonalityis calledup, a minusis putinfront ofthe mode by pressing the “+/-” key, and the “E” key is pushed to load the factory settings.

CODE 51 - OUTPUT ASSIGNMENT

The outputs of the Gemini 5200 can be assigned to the Rate A, Rate B, or the Display C channel.

The Gemini 5200 has a Preset tracking feature which allows Preset 1 to track Preset 2. If Preset tracking is programmed, whenever the Preset 2 value is changed, thePreset 1 valuewillalso change tomaintain the same offset.For example, ifPreset 1 is 100 and Preset 2 is 200, changing Preset 2 to 300 will automatically change Preset 1 to 200, maintaining the same 100 unit offset. In order to change the amount ofoffset, the Preset1 valueis changed. ThePreset tracking featureis programmed by adding a “-” modifier in front of the desired mode.

Note: When Preset tracking is enabled, before changing Preset 2 via serial

CODE 63 - RATE MINIMUM/MAXIMUM UPDATE TIME

The determinationofthe rate value uses a method in which the elapsed time is measured between the first and last pulse of the update period. In the Display C modes [41 2,3,4], the rate channels are synchronized. The slower of the two channels will determine the minimum update time. The minimum update time is the shortest the time period can be. Once the minimum update time has expired, the unit will end the measurement period, for the synchronizing channel, when the next negative going count edge occurs. If the unit does not receive the next negative count edge within the maximum update time at the start of the measurementperiod, the unitwill end thetime period andcalculate the ratebased upon the amount of pulses received during the time period. After the synchronizing channel ends its measurement period, the other channel will end its measurement period when it receives the next negative going edge.

CODE 65 - RATEA&BDECIMAL POINT & LEADING ZERO BLANKING

There are six basic modes of decimal point placement for the RateA&B indicators of the Gemini 5200. The decimal point is placed to the right of the displaydigit thatcorrespondsto themode identifier. (Theright mostdecimalpoint, digit 1, is never turned on.) A “-” sign in front of the mode identifier will inhibit leadingzero blanking.The absenceofa “-”sign willenable leading zeroblanking.

The Rate A Scale Multiplier is used in conjunction with the Rate Scale Factor A and Rate A Conversion Factor to scale the actual signal input to obtain the desired reading.

CODE 66 - “OPERATOR ACCESSIBLE FUNCTIONS” MODES

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

The Gemini 5200 has four basic levels of “Operator Accessible Functions”. Each of these levels canbemodifiedto enable or disable manual reset. When the “PGM. DIS.” (Program Disable) terminal is connected to “COMMON”, access to all functions is disabled, except for those listed below, which will remain enabled.All of the function codes andparameterscan be interrogated, regardless of the “Operator Accessible Functions” mode selected.

A “-” sign in front of the mode identifier will disable the front panel Reset button and the “RST.” terminal.

Note: The front panel reset button can be independently disabled by using the

disable reset DIP switch.

[66 1] NO FUNCTIONS ENABLED EXCEPT RESET - In this mode, manual

reset is enabled, but none of the programming functions can be changed. [66 2] PRESET PROGRAMMING AND RESET ENABLED - In this mode,

manual reset and the programming of the Preset Values are enabled. [66 3] SCALE FACTOR PROGRAMMING AND RESET ENABLED - In this

mode, manual reset and the programming of the Scale Factor Values are

enabled. [66 4] SCALE FACTOR, PRESET PROGRAMMING AND RESET

ENABLED - In this mode, manual reset and the programming of the Scale

Factors and Preset Values are enabled.

[66 -1] [66 -2] These modes are the same as above with the [66 -3] exception that manual reset is disabled. [66 -4]

PRESET VALUES

Wheneverthe rate ordisplay value equalsthe Preset Value,an output actionwill occur. This action depends on the previously programmed modes. The Preset Value may vary from -999,999 to 999,999. Refer to “Programming the Presets, Scale Factors, And Timed Output Values” section for entering instructions.

SCALE FACTORSA&B

The Scale Factor, for whichever Value (Rate A or B) is currently being displayed, is accessed by pressing the “3” key. To access the Scale Factor of the “other”display value, the“+/-” key wouldbe pushed (tochange the displayto the othervalue), then the “3” key wouldbe pushed. If the “3”keyis pushed while the Display C value is on the display, a scale factor will not be displayed, since the Display C value does not have a scale factor associated with it.

The actual rate (in pps) is multiplied by the appropriate Scale Factor, Scale Multiplier,and Rate Conversion factor to obtainthe desired display reading. The Scale Factor is used primarily for conversion from existing pulses per unit of measure to the required displayed units. This includes conversion from different unitsof measure (i.e feet tometers, etc.). The ScaleFactorValue may range from

0.0001 to 5.9999. Refer to “ProgrammingthePresets,ScaleFactors,And Timed Output Values” section for entering instructions.

GEMINI 5200 PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE - SPEED RATIO

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

A paper towel manufacturer needs to maintain a tight control on the speed relationship of two rollers. Two outputs are needed to signal when the speed relationship of the rolls are out of the operating “safe zone”. A 72 tooth gear is mounted oneach of the rolls. Two LMPC’s are used to sense thegearteeth. Each of the rolls have a circumference of 2 feet.

The Gemini 5200 can fulfill all the requirements of the system. The Gemini 5200 can provide an indication of the speed relationship, and can also provide a Feet per Minute indication of the speed at which each of the rolls are running.

Thesystem can be set-upso that thespeedrelationship is givenas a speed ratio or draw. After programming, only the Presets will have to be changed. In this programming example, Display C will be set-up to indicate speed ratio, A/B.

SCALING THE RATE CHANNELS

Since both of the rolls have the same circumference and have gears with the same number of teeth, the scaling parameters obtained will apply to both Rate channelsA&B.

The unit of display for the rate channels will be in feet. From the information given,72 pulses willbe providedfor2 “DisplayUnits”(feet) oflinear web travel. Utilizing the formulas and procedure in Appendix “F”, we obtain the Total Scaling Factor required, “K

To provide maximum conversion accuracy, a Scale Multiplier value of 0.01 is chosento givethe largestnumberof significantdigits possiblefor the ScaleFactor.

The Rate A & Rate B Scale Factors will be programmed for 2.7778 and the corresponding Scale Multipliers will be programmed for 0.01.

The final scaling parameter that needs to be selected is the “Rate Conversion Factors” for both of the Rate channels. To achieve rate in Feet Per Minute, the “Rate Conversion Factor”, Rate Per Minute is selected.

SCALING DISPLAY C

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

Scaling Display C is simply a matter of choosing the amount of decimal point resolution that is desired for the application. This is accomplished by selecting a Display C Multiplier and by programming the desired “Display C Decimal Point” location. To obtain Display C resolution in thousandths, a “Display C Multiplier” of 1000 is used. For example; If both rolls are operating at the same speed, the ratio would be 1. Selecting a “Display C Multiplier” of 1000 and a decimalpoint tothe rightofdigit 4,will resultin a DisplayC readoutof 1.000.

HARDWARE SET-UP

The application drawing shows how the hardware for the system is configured. The Input to both rate channels will be LMPC open collector Logic Magnetic Pickups. TheA&BInput channels will therefore, be set-up identically. The dip switch settings for various types of sensors are shown in Appendix “A”. The “EN/DIS RST.” DIP switch position, is set to the “DIS.” position to disable the use of the front panel reset button. The solid state open collectoroutputsof the Gemini, “O1-SNK” and “O2-SNK”, areconnected to the speed control circuitry of the system.

STEP BY STEP PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

STEP1-Select function code 41 (Unit Personality). Select and enter mode 2 for

a Dual rate with speed ratio unit personality.

Note: Function code 42, “Reset Button & Terminal Actuation Modes” is not

programmed, since the application doesnot require the resetting ofthe outputs.

STEP 2 - Enter function code 43 (Rate B Conversion Factor). Select and enter

mode 2 for Rate Per Minute. STEP 3 - Enter function code 45 (Rate B Scale Multiplier). Select and enter

mode 6 for a Scale Multiplier of 0.01, as determined when scaling the rate. STEP 4 - Enter function code 46 (Display C Decimal Point & Leading Zero

Blanking). Select and enter mode 4 for decimal to the right of digit 4. STEP 5 - Enter function code 51 (Output Assignment). Select and enter mode 6

to assign both outputs to Display C. STEP6-Enter function code 52 (Output 1 Termination Mode). Select and enter

mode 6 for boundary operation.

Note: Since Output 1 is not being used in timed output operation, function code 53, the “Timed Output 1 Value”, is not programmed.

STEP7 - Enterfunction code 54(Output 2 TerminationModes). Select andenter

mode 6 for boundary operation.

Note: Since Output 2 is not being used in timed output operation, function code 55, the “Timed Output 2 Value”, is not programmed.

STEP8- Enter function code 61 (DisplayCMultiplier). Select and enter mode 4

for a multiplier of 1000.

STEP 9 - Enter function code 62 (Rate A Conversion Factor). Select and enter

mode 2 for Rate Per Minute.

STEP 10 - Enter function code 63 (Rate Minimum Sample Time). Select and

enter mode 1 for 0.5 second minimum sample time.

STEP 11 - Enter function code 64 (Rate A Scale Multiplier). Select and enter

mode 6 for a Scale Multiplier of 0.01, as determined when scaling the rate.

STEP12 -Enterfunction code65 (DisplayA&BDecimal Point& LeadingZero

Blanking). Select and enter mode 1 for no decimal point.

STEP 13 - Enter code 66 (Operator Accessible Functions Modes). Select and

enter mode (-)1 for no functions enabled. When the “PGM.DIS.” terminal is connected to “COMM.”, all programming changes will be inhibited.

STEP14 - The “+/-”key is pushed, ifnecessary, so that RateA is being indicated

on the Gemini 5200. The “3” key is then pushed to call up the Rate A Scale Factor. The value is changed to 2.7778.

STEP 15 - The “+/-” key is pushed so that Rate B is being indicated on the

Gemini 5200. The “3” key is then pushed to call up the Rate B Scale Factor. The value is changed to 2.7778.

STEP 16 - Both presets are programmed to the desired ratio limits for within

which the machine is to operate.

After the Gemini 5200 has been programmed, the “PGM. DIS.” terminal is connected to “COMM.” to prevent any unauthorized or accidental mode changes. The function codes can, however, be recalled to view or verify that the proper modes are entered.

GEMINI 5200 20 MA CURRENT LOOP COMMUNICATIONS

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

The Gemini 5200’s 20 mA Current Loop Communications Option allows a “two-way” serial communications link to be established in order to monitor the display values, Presets and Scale Factors from a remote location. Some typical devices that can be connected with the Gemini 5200 are: a printer, terminal, programmable controller, or host computer. For devices that use RS232, a GCM232 Serial Converter Module is available to convert the 20 mA Current Loop signals to RS232 and vice-versa.

There are two loops that must be established. One for sending commands to theGemini5200 and one for receiving thedatavalues from the Gemini 5200. Up to sixteen Geminis or other RLC units with 20 mA serial communication capability, canbe connected together in the “loop”. These units are assigned unit addressesby settingtheSerial DipSwitches on eachunit. Theapplicationscan be as simple as attaching a printer to obtain hard copy of the display information or as involved as using a host computer to automatically set up Presets and Scale Factors of a number of Geminis.

Withthe CommunicationsOption, thefollowingfunctions canbe performed:

1. Interrogation of the rate or display values, Presets, and Scale Factors.

2. Changing of the Presets and Scale Factors.

3. Resetting of the Outputs.

4. Automatic print-out when using a printer and the “Print Request” Terminal.

5. Change viewed display channel

COMMUNICATION FORMAT

Datais sent byswitching off andon thecurrentin the20 mA currentloop. Data isreceivedby monitoring the switching action and interpretingthecodes that are transmitted. In order for data to be interpreted correctly, there must be identical formats and Baud Rates.

The format that the Gemini 5200 will accept is: 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 odd parity bit, and 1 stop bit. The Baud Rates that are available are: 300, 600, 1200, and 2400.

The selection of the Baud Rate is done by setting DIP switches. Refer to the

“Current Loop Installation” section, for set-up instructions.

SENDING COMMANDS & DATA TO THE GEMINI 5200

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

When sending commands to the Gemini 5200, a command string must be constructed. The command string may consist of command codes, value identifiers,and numerical data. Below is alist of commands and value identifiers that are used when communicating with the Gemini 5200

COMMAND DESCRIPTION

N (4EH) Address command; followed by a unit address number 1-15

and one of the following commands.

P (50H) Transmit per Print Options command.

R (52H) Reset command; operates on Output(s) assigned to

the channel being reset.

T (54H) Transmit Value command; operates on display values,

Presets and Scale Factors.

V (56H) Change Value command; operates on Scale Factors,

and Presets.

D (44H) ChangeDisplaycommand; operateson displayvalues (E -G).

VALUE IDENTIFIER DESCRIPTION MNEMONIC

A (41H) Preset 1 (PS1) B (42H) Preset 2 (PS2) C (43H) Scale Factor A (SFA) D (44H) Scale Factor B (SFB) E (45H) Rate A (CTA) F (46H) Rate B (CTB) G (47H) Display C (CTC)

The command string is constructed by using the above commands and value identifiers, along with the data values that are required. Data values may or may not contain the decimal point if a decimal point is programmed into the Gemini

5200. The Gemini 5200 will accept the decimal points, however, it does not interpret theminanyway. Leading zeros can be eliminated, however, all trailing zeros must be present. For example, if a Scale Factor of 1.0000 is to be sent, the datavalue can betransmitted as 1.0000or 10000. Ifa “1” istransmitted,the Scale Factor will be changed to 0.0001.

The Addresscommand is used to allow a command to be directed to aspecific unit in the Serial Communications Loop. Whenever the unit address is zero, transmission of the Address command is not required. This is done for applications which do not require more than one Gemini. For applications that require several units, it is recommended that each unit in the loop be given a separate address. If they are given the same address, a command such as the Transmit Value Command, will cause all the units to respond at the same time, resulting in erroneous data.

Thecommand string is constructed inaspecific logical sequence. The Gemini 5200willnot accept command strings that do not follow this sequence.Only one operation can be performed per command string. Below is the procedure to be used when constructing a command string.

1. If the Gemini 5200, to whichthe command is to be sent,is assigned an address

other than zero, the first two characters of the command string must consist of

the Address Command (N) and the address number of the unit (1-15).

2. The next character/s in the command string is the actual command that the

Gemini 5200 is to perform and the value identifier if it pertains to the

command. (A command such as the Transmit per Print Options, “P”,

command does not require a Value Identifier.)

3. If the change command is being used, the next characters in the command

string is the numerical data value.

4. The last character in the command string is the command terminator (*). This

character must be sent in order to tell the Geminis that the command string is

complete, so that they can begin processing the command.

Below are some typical examples of properly constructed command strings. (EX. 1) Change Preset 1 on the Gemini 5200 with address of 2 to 00123.4.

COMMAND STRING: N2VA1234

(EX. 2) Have the Gemini 5200, with address of 3, transmit the Rate B value.

COMMAND STRING: N3TF

(EX. 3) Reset the Rate B outputs of the Gemini 5200 with address of 0.

COMMAND STRING: RF

SENDING COMMANDS & DATA TO THE GEM52 [Cont’d]

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

As shown, all commands must be terminated with a “Command Terminator” (*or 2AH). The Gemini 5200 will not process the command until the terminator is sent. If illegal commands or characters are sent to the Gemini 5200, they still would need to be terminated by an (*). If they are not terminated, the next command will not be accepted.

When writing application programs in Basic, the transmission of spaces or carriagereturn and line feedshould be inhibitedbyusing the semicolondelimiter withthe Printstatement.The Gemini5200 will notaccept a carriagereturn orline feed as valid characters. See “Terminal Emulation Program” section for a listing of a terminal emulation program written in Basic.

When a “ChangeValue”commandis sent to the Gemini 5200, a short amount of time is required for the unit to process the data. This time increases with the count rate. During this time, only one additional command may be sent to the Gemini 5200. This may be done 80 msec after the transmission of the “Change Value” command. After the second command has been transmitted, the unit will ignore any further commands until 10 msec after both the “Change Value” and second command have been processed. It is recommended that a “Transmit Value” command follow a “Change Value” Command. If this is done, the reception of the data can provide a timing reference for sending another command and will insure that the change has occurred.

Note: When Preset tracking is enabled, before changing Preset 2 via serial

communications, the Preset 2 value must be interrogated in order to establish

the Preset 1 value.

The timing diagrams show the timing considerations that need to be made.

FIG. 2: TIMING FOR SENDING COMMANDS

(**) This is the time that it takes the Gemini 5200 to process the preset. It varies with the Count Rate and Scale Factor Value.

RECEIVING DATA FROM THE GEMINI 5200

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

Data is transmitted from the Gemini 5200 when a “Transmit Value” or “Transmit per Print Options” command is sent to the unit, or when the “PRINT REQ.” terminal is activated. The Gemini 5200 can transmit 7 values: display channel A, B and C, Presets 1 and 2, and Scale Factors A and B. A list of the abbreviationsused whenthe Gemini5200transmits thevalues areshown below.

CTA - Rate Display A Value

CTB - Rate Display B Value

CTC - Display C Value

PS1 - Preset 1

PS2 - Preset 2

SFA - Scale Factor A

SFB - Scale Factor B

A typical transmission, with the “PR. ID” (Print ID) switch in the up position, is shown below.

The first two digits transmitted are the unit address followed by two blank spaces.If the unit address is 0,the first locations will beleft blank. The next three letters arethe abbreviation for the mnemonic value followed by one blank space. The actual values are transmitted last. Negative values are indicated by a “-” sign. For positive values, the “+” sign is not transmitted. Overflowed display values are shown by an asterisk preceding the most significant digit of the value. The decimal point position will “float” within the data field depending on the actual value it represents.

For peripheral control purposes, a single line transmission will have a <CR> attached to the end of the above string. For a “T” command or each line of a block transmission, only the above character string is sent. For the last line of a block transmission,a <SP><CR> <LF>isattached tothe endof the abovecharacter string.

An example of a typical serial transmission:

3 CTB 1234.56 < CR> < LF>

If the “Print Request” terminal initiates the transmission, a 400 msec delay is inserted before the transmission to keep multiple transmissions from overrunning the printer.

When thePrintID switch is in the down position, the unit will not transmit the characters before the data value (address, Value ID, spaces) or the 400 msec printer delay. The same above value when transmitted with the “PR.ID” switch in the down position, is transmitted as:

1234.56 < CR> < LF>

Note: When using the Gemini with a printer, with the “Print ID” switch in the down

position, some printers may notwork, since the printer delayis not transmitted.

PRINT OPTIONS

Thevarious PrintOptions are usedmainly inconjunction with aprinter andthe Print Request Terminal. They provide a choice of Gemini 5200 data values to be printed when either the Print Request Terminal is activated or the “Transmit per Print Options” (P) command is sent to the Gemini 5200. The various Print Options available are:

A. Print Rate Display A B. Print Rate Display B C. Print Display C D. Print Display A, B, & C E. Print Display C, Presets1&2,andScale FactorsA&B F. Print Display B, Presets1&2,andScale FactorsA&B G. Print Display A, Presets1&2,andScale FactorsA&B H. Print Display A, B, & C, Presets1&2,andScale FactorsA&B

A typical print-out is shown below. The Print Options are selected by setting S3, S4 and S5 on the Serial DIP Switch. See “Current Loop Installation” section for the various switch settings.

WIRING CONNECTIONS

When wiring the 20 mA current loop, remove the 7-position terminal block (TBD),located on the right sideof the top board.Refer to the numbers listedwith the terminal descriptions below or on the top label, and install each wire in its proper location on the terminal block. When all connections are made, replace the terminal block into its proper location.

It is recommended that shielded (screened) cable be used for serial communications. This unit meets the EMC specifications using Alpha #2404 cable or equivalent. There are higher grades of shielded cable, such as, four conductor twisted pair, that offer an even higher degree of noise immunity.

TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS FOR TERMINAL BLOCK TBD

1. -20 mA SRC (COMM.) - Common for 20 mA SRC and Print Request

terminal.

2. PRINT REQUEST - The Print Request Terminal is pulled low to request the

Gemini 5200 to transmit according to the Print Options mode that has been

selected. (Minimum Activation time = 25 msec.)

3.+20 mA SRC- The 20mA SRC terminalprovides the sourcecurrent for oneof

the loops.

4. SO- (Serial Out-)

5. SO+ (Serial Out+)

The Gemini 5200 transmits the requested data on these terminals. They are connected in series to the receive input of the device to be connected.

6. SI- (Serial In-)

7. SI+ (Serial In+)

The Gemini 5200 receives commands on these terminals. They are connected in series with the transmit or output terminals of the device to be connected.

Note: The serial input terminals must be held in the mark condition (current on)

in order forthe Gemini 5200to respond to a PrintRequest terminalactivation.

SERIAL DIP SWITCH SET-UP

TheSerialDIP switches are accessible through theside of the Gemini 5200. A list of the DIP switch positions and their functions are shown in Figure 4. BR0 & BR1, BAUD RATE - Set-up is shown in Figure 4. When changing the

BaudRate, the unit shouldbe powered-down and thenpowered back up again.

The unit will only recognize a baud rate change upon power-up, after

activating the “Print Request” terminal or after a few characters have been sentat the new baudrate (If the two previous conditions havenot occurred,the

Gemini will seethe characters as erroneous andit will checkthe baud rate and set itself to operate at the new rate).

PR.ID - PRINT ID. - When this switch is in the up position, the Gemini 5200

will print the unit address, data value ID and the data value when a transmission is requested. The unit will also insert a 400 msec delay between transmissions when the “P” commandor Print Request terminal is used. This switch position is generally used when the unit is connected with a printer. When the switch is in the down position, the Gemini 5200 will transmit only the data value, without the unit address and data ID. The 400 msec delay, described above,will not be inserted. Thisswitch position usage isintendedfor applications where the Gemini is communicating with a computer. In these circumstances printing the address and value ID and inserting a 400 msec print delay is usually unnecessary and needlessly slows down communication throughput.

PC0, PC1, & PC2, PRINT OPTIONS - Used to control which values are

printed out when the Print Request terminal is activated or when the Transmit per Print Options command “P” is sent to the Gemini 5200.

AD0, AD1, AD2, & AD3 UNIT ADDRESS - These switches are used to give

eachunit a separate addresswhen more than oneunitis connected in theLoop. See Figure 4, for Switch Set-up.

TROUBLESHOOTING GEMINI SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

If problems are encountered when trying to get the Gemini(s) and host device or

printerto communicate,the followingchecklistcan beused tohelp find thesolution.

1.Check all wiring. Refer to theprevious application examples and use themas a guide to check your serial communication wiring. Proper polarity of all Geminisand other peripheralsmust be observed.If a multimeteror ammeter is available, insert it in series in each Serial loop andcheckforcurrentflowwith all units powered up. If no current is flowing, either the loop is not wired correctly, or some other fault has occurred. If too much current has been sent througha Serial Input or Output,the unit may havebeendamaged. If a Gemini is suspected, it can be tested for operation by using the Serial Loop-back test described in the next section.

2. If the Gemini is set-up with a “host computer”, device or printer, check to make sure that the computer or device is configured with the same communication format as the Gemini. The only communication format the Gemini will accept is; 1 start bit, 7 data bits, odd parity, and 1 stop bit.

3. Checkthebaud rate settings and make sure all devices in the loop are set tothe same baud rate.

4. Check the Gemini’s unit address. If the Address command is not used when transmittinga command to the Gemini,the Gemini’s address must beset to 0. See “Sending Commands & Data to the Gemini” section for command structure.

5. If two-way communications are to be established between the Gemini and a computer, try getting the computer to receive transmissions from the Gemini first. The Gemini’s “PRINT REQ.” terminal can be used to initiate the transmissions from the Gemini.

6. When sending commands to the Gemini, the * (2Ah) must terminate the command. NO CARRIAGE RETURNS (0Dh) OR LINE FEED (0Ah) CHARACTERS SHOULD BE SENT TO THE GEMINI. If they are sent, the Gemini will not respond to the next command.

7.Forapplications where 1200 Baud or lower is used,the command terminator (*) can be sent before the string to eliminate any illegally transmitted characters.

SERIAL LOOP-BACK SELF-TEST

The Gemini 5200 has a Serial Loop-back Self-test feature. This test enables the userto verify the operationof the Gemini whenproblems are encountered tryingto getthe Gemini and “Host device” communicating. In this test, theGemini’s Serial Input and Output Loops are connected together with the 20 mA source supplying the loop current. The Gemini then transmits data “to itself”.If the data is received properly, the Gemini 5200 will change its Scale Factor B value to 0.1111. To perform the loop-back test, follow the test sequence as described below.

1. With the unit powered down, wire up the serial terminal block, “TBD”,as

shown in the diagram below.

2. Set the Gemini’s unit address to 15 (set switches 7-10 of the Serial DIP Switch

to the down position).

3. Apply power to the unit. On power-up the Gemini will perform the loop-back

test.Tocheck the results: Call up the ScaleFactor B value by pressing the “3”

key while the Rate B value is being displayed. If the Serial loop is functioning

properly the Scale Factor B value will be 0.1111. If this result is not obtained,

double check the connections with those shown in the diagram, and the unit

address switch positions and repeat step 3.

4. If the connection between the Print Request terminal, “PRINT REQ.” and

“COMMON” is disconnected while the unit is under power, the Scale Factor

B value will change back to its previous setting.

Before installing the Gemini 5200 into the panel, the user should first become familiar with the unit. It may also be desirable to program the unit for the application at hand (Refer to the “Programming and Applications” sections). Oncethe unit is programmed, thesettings will be saved inmemory. The Program Disable “PGM. DIS.” terminal should be connected to “COMM.” to prevent accidental or unauthorized programming changes.

PANEL MOUNTING {Note: See Appendix “B” for Dimensions}

Installation Environment

The GEM5200 should be installed in a location that does not exceed the maximum operating temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.

The bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral soap product. DoNOTuse solvents. Continuous exposure to direct sunlightmayaccelerate the aging process of the bezel.

Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate the keypad of the unit.

TheGemini 5200is intended tobe mountedinto an enclosedpanel with a gasket to provide a water-tight seal. The unit meets NEMA 4/IP65 requirementsforindoor use when properly installed. Two mounting clips and screws are provided for easy installation. Consideration should be given to the thickness of the panel. A panel which is too thin may distort and not provide a water-tight seal. (Recommended minimum panel thickness is 1/8".)

After the panel cut-out has been completed and deburred, remove the backing from the adhesive side of the gasket, and carefully apply the gasket to the panel. DO NOT GASKET TO THE COUNTER BEZEL. Insert the unit into the panel. Install the screws into the narrow ends of the mounting clips as shown in the drawing to the left. Thread the screws into the clips until the pointed end just protrudes through the other side.

Install each of the two mounting clips by inserting the wide lip of the clips into the wide end of the holes located on either side of the case. Tighten the screws evenly, applying uniform compression, thus providing a water-tight seal.

Caution: Onlyminimum pressureis

required to seal panel. Do NOT

over tighten mounting screws.

ADDITIONAL EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

Although this unit is 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 the unit may be different for various installations. Listed below are some additional EMC guidelines for successful installation in an industrial environment.

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

to protective earth.

a. If the bezel is exposed to high Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) levels,

above 4 Kv, it should be connected to protective earth. This can be done bymaking sure themetal bezel makesproper contact tothe panelcut-out or connecting the bezel screw with a spade terminal and wire to protective earth.

2. Use shielded (screened) cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield

(screen) pigtail connection should be made as short as possible. The

connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application.

Listed below are therecommendedmethodsofconnecting the shield, in order

of their effectiveness.

a. Connect the shield only at the panel where the unit is mounted to earth

ground (protective earth).

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

when the noise source frequency is above 1 MHz.

c. Connect the shield to common of the unit and leave the other end of the

shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.

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

powerlines, conductors feeding motors,solenoids, SCR controls,and heaters,

etc. The cables should be run in metal conduit that is properly grounded. This

is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long and portable

two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation is near a

commercial radio transmitter.

4. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far away as

possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy

components.

5. In very electrically noisy environments, the use of external EMI suppression

devices,such asferrite suppression cores,is effective.Install themon Signal and

Control cables as close to the unit as possible. Loop the cable through the core several times or use multiple cores on each cable for additional protection. Install line filters on the power input cable to the unit to suppress power line interference. Install them near the power entry point of the enclosure. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are recommended:

Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables:

Fair-Rite # 0443167251 (RLC #FCOR0000) TDK # ZCAT3035-1330A Steward #28B2029-0A0

Line Filters for input power cables:

Schaffner # FN610-1/07 (RLC #LFIL0000) Schaffner # FN670-1.8/07 Corcom #1VR3

Note: Reference manufacturer’s instructions when installing a line filter.

6. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs. Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.

7. Switching of inductive loads produces high EMI. Use of snubbers across inductive loads suppresses EMI. Snubbers: RLC #SNUB0000

WIRING CONNECTIONS

After the unit has been mechanically mounted, it is ready to be wired. All

conductors should meet voltage and current ratings for each terminal. Also cablingshould conform to appropriatestandards of good installation,local codes andregulations. It is recommendedthat power suppliedtothe unit (ACor DC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. All wiring connections are made on removable plug-in terminal blocks. There is a separate terminal block for the bottom board (TBA), relay board (TBB), rate inputs (TBC), and optional Serial Communications (TBD). When wiring the unit, remove the terminal block and use the numbers on the label to identify the position number with the proper function. Simply strip the wire, leaving approximately 1/4" bare wire exposed (stranded wires should be tinned with solder). Insert the wire into the terminal andtighten down thescrewuntil the wireis clamped in tightly.Each terminal can accept up to two 18-gage wires. After the terminal block is wired, install it in the proper location on the PC board. Wire each terminal block in this manner.

PRIMARY A.C. WIRING

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

Forbestresults, the A.C. primary power shouldbe relatively “clean” and within thespecified+/-10% variation limits. Drawing power from heavily loaded circuits or from circuits that also power loads that cycle on and off, should be avoided.

TheAC power is connected tothebottom left terminals TBA 1& 2, marked as AC Power,50/60Hz.The voltage selector switch, located on the side of the unit, is used to select the proper voltage. The switch is a slide movement type and can beset by using asmall screwdriver. Iftheswitch is towardsthe front of theunit, it is set for 230 VAC input. The switch is in the 230 VAC position when shipped from the factory.

Note: Beforeapplying powerto theunit, make sure the AC power selector switch

is set for the proper voltage setting.

USING AN EXTERNAL DC POWER SOURCE

The Gemini 5200 can be operated from a D.C. power source that provides 11-14 VDC at the unit’s rated power consumption (700 mA). The power source canbea 12 V battery or an external power supplythatis capable of supplying the unit’s rated current. It is not necessary to provide battery backup to retain programming information. The Gemini 5200 has an internal non-volatile memory in which the programming information is stored upon power-down. Refer to the “Block Diagram” section.

RELAY WIRING

To prolong contact life and suppress electrical noise interference due to the switching of inductive loads, it is good installation practice to install a snubber across the contactor. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

Note: Snubberleakage currentcan causesome electro-mechanical devices to be

held ON.

SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS

The Gemini 5200 can be purchased with a 20 mA Current Loop Communications Option. On these units, refer to the “Current Loop Communications” section of the manual for wiring and operational procedures of the Serial Loop.

INPUTSA&BANDMAGNETIC PICKUP INPUTSA&B

The Gemini 5200 has two input channels. Input Channel A is associated with Rate Display A and Channel B is associated with the Rate Display B. The MagneticPickup Input andthe Logic Inputof each channelutilize somecommon circuitry. For this reason the Input switches are used to set up both the Magnetic and Logic Input.

S1 selects between Magnetic Pickup Input A and Logic Input A. S5 selects between Magnetic Pickup Input B and Logic Input B. WHEN MAGNETIC PICKUP A IS BEING USED, S2 MUST BE IN THE “SNK” POSITION or the unit will not display the rate properly. Likewise, WHEN MAGNETIC PICKUP B IS BEING USED, S6 MUST ALSO BE IN THE “SNK” POSITION.

S3 (HI/LO FRQ) and S4 (HI/LO BIAS) or S7 (HI/LO FRQ) and S8 (HI/LO BIAS) do not effect the Magnetic Pickup InputsA&Bandtheir settings are inconsequential. When S1 or S5 is in the Logic position, the Magnetic Pickup Input A or B is disabled and Inputs A or B can be used as logic inputs.

Note: A Magnetic Pickup type sensor should not be used unless a large enough

signal is provided at all speeds of operation.

1. SENSOR VOLTAGE AND CURRENT The +12 V sensor supply voltage on the “DC OUT” terminal is nominal with +/-25% variation due to line and internal load variations. All RLC sensors will accommodate this variation.

2. HI/LO FRQ SELECTION The HI/LO FRQ selection switch must be set on “LO FRQ” when switch contacts are used to generate rate input signals. Since the “LO FRQ” mode also provides very high immunity against electrical noise pickup, it is recommended that this mode also be used, whenever possible, withelectronic sensor outputs. The “LO FRQ” mode can be used with any type of sensor output, provided pulse widths never decrease below 5 msec, and the rate does not exceed 100 cps.

3. V

and VIHlevels given are nominal values +/-10% when the voltage on “DC

OUT” terminal is +12 VDC. These nominal values will vary in proportion to the variations in the “DC OUT” terminal voltage, which are caused by line voltage and load changes.

4. When shielded cable is used, the shield should be connected to “COMM.” at the counter and left unconnected at the sensor end.

5. Inputs A and B can accept source pulses from other circuits up to +28 V in amplitude. For voltages above +28 V, a limiting resistor and zener diode should be used to limit the voltage at the input.

INSTALLATION & REMOVAL OF THE RELAY BOARD

To install the relay board, locate the relay opening at the lower right-hand corner,on the back of the Gemini5200. Pull the tab down whilesliding the board into the two slots in the housing. The relay board will seat into the unit, allowing the tab to return to its original position. To remove the relay board, pull down on the tab just enough to allow the relay board to slide out. Grasp the six terminal connector and pull to remove the board.

APPENDIX “F” - SCALING FOR RA TE& DISPLA Y C

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: CustomerService@valin.com

The Gemini 5200 offers a simplified method of scaling the rate indicator. The methoddoes notrequiretime unitconversions. The desiredtime format(Rate Per Second, Rate Per Minute, Rate Per Hour) is simply selected as part of the programming procedure.

Due to the way the rate is calculated, high resolution and accuracy can be realizedat allinput rates, slowor fast.It isnotnecessary toincrease thenumber of pulses per display unit to obtain higher resolution.

The Rate Minimum Update Time, function code 63, can be increased (from

0.5 Sec.upto 16 Sec.) to provide averaging in applications where the input pulse spacing is not stable. The Update time selected, however, will not affect the scaling in any manner.

Scaling the Rate channel simply involves programming the Gemini 5200 so that pulse units inputted to the unit will be scaled to the desired display units (revolutions,feet, meters, etc.),in the desiredtime format (RatePer Second, Rate per Minute, Rate Per Hour).

In order to scaletherate,it is only necessary to know the number of pulses per “Display Unit” or units (feet, revolutions, etc.). For example; if a 48 tooth gear, which is coupled to a shaft, is being sensed and it is desired to indicate the shaft speed inrevolutions, the “Display Units” would be revolutions. It is obvious that 48 pulses will occur in one revolution.

Inorder to convert the pulse unitsto revolutions, it is necessary forthe Gemini 5200 to multiply the number of pulses by a scaling factor to convert the pulse unitsto revolutionunits. TheGemini5200 hastwo programmingcodes that serve to scale pulse units to desired display units. They are: the Scale Factor and the Scale Multiplier. Both are used to attain the Total Scaling Factor, “K

formula is used.

FORMULA #1: K

= Display Units/Number of Pulses

WHERE:

DISPLAYUNITS

-The number ofunits (revolutions, feet,10ths offeet,meters,

etc.) that would be acquired after the “Number of Pulses” has occurred.

NUMBEROF PULSES

-The Number of pulses requiredto achieve the number

of “Display Units”.

Using the example previously discussed, the display unit would be 1 revolution and the number of pulses per display unit would be 48. Therefore, the TotalScale Factor wouldbe 0.020833 (K rev/48 pulses per rev = 0.020833). In many applications the Total Scale Factor, “K

”, can be programmed as the Scale Factor, “SF”, and the Scale Multiplier

factory setting, x1, would be used. However, in some applications, such as the

=Display Units/ Numberof Pulses =1

one above,itmay be desired to obtain more significant digits in the Scale Factor, “SF”.These situations occur whenthe “K thatcanbe entered into the four decimal places availableto the Scale Factor. The

”factor does not calculateto a number

following formula can be used to calculate the Scale Factor when a SCM value other than x1 is needed.

FORMULA #2: SF=K

/SCM

In this formula, the Total Scaling Factor, previously calculated, is divided by the Scale Multiplier Value, “SCM”, to obtain the Scale Factor, “SF”.

The general rule for choosing a SCM value is, when the Total Scale Factor, “K

”, is less than 0.6000, a SCM value of 0.1 or 0.01 can be used to get a Scale

Factorvalue between 0.6 and5.9999, or to thepoint where themaximumnumber of significant digits is obtained. If the Total Scaling Factor, “K

5.9999,then a SCM valueof 10, 100, or1000 can be usedtoobtain a Scale Factor

”, is greater than

Value between 0.6 and 5.9999.

In our initial example, the Total Scaling Factor, “K

”, was determined to be

Factor, “SF”, without losing significant digits. Using formula #2 and the general rulesstated above,a Scale MultiplierValue of 0.01is chosenand the ScaleFactor is calculated as shown below. This will provide the maximum amount of conversion accuracy possible.

SF=K

/SCM

SF = 0.020833/SCM SF = 0.020833/0.01 = 2.0833

In situations where the Total Scale Factor is already in range of the Scale

After the Scale Factor and Scale Multiplier values are selected, all that is necessary to complete the scaling is to choose the Rate Conversion Factor. The RateConversion Factor can be selectedtoprovide indication in Rate perSecond, Rate Per Minute, or Rate per Hour.

Note: There may be situations where there are manymore pulsesper display unit

than needed. In these situations the minimum SCM value (0.01) may not

provide enough significant digits in the Scale Factor. To achieve more

significant digits, the Rate Conversion Factor should be set to mode 1, Rate

per Second, and the following formula should be used.

SF = K

xCF

SCM

Where: CF = 60 for display reading in Rate Per Minute, or

CF = 3600 for display reading in Rate Per Hour

SCALING DISPLAY C

In the Speed Ratio and Speed Draw modes, [41 2,4], Display C can be scaled in order to obtain the desired amount of decimal point resolution. This is accomplished by selecting a “Display C Multiplier” and the proper “Display C Decimal Point & Leading Zero Blanking” mode.

In the Speed Ratio and Speed Draw modes the Gemini 5200 performs the appropriate Display C calculation based upon the measured internal rate value, utilizing the total number of significant digits available to it. It does not use the amount of resolution that is used in the Rate A & B displays. For example; if the Gemini5200 was set-upin mode [41 2], Dual Ratewith Speed Ratio,and the rate indicators were programmed to indicate rate with no decimal point. With actual rates of 1.5 PPS for Rate A, and 1 PPS for Rate B the rate displays would both read 1, however, Display C, when using a Display C Multiplier of 10 and a decimal point, would read 1.5 (C = A/B = 1.5/1 = 1.5).

RATE SCALING EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE #1:

A 60 tooth gear is mounted to a roller that has a circumference of 2 feet. It is desired to have a rate readout in 10ths of feet per minute. Calculate the Scale Factor and Scale Multiplier values necessary to provide the desired readout.

In this example one revolution of the roller will provide 60 pulses for 2 feet of linear travel. Since the desired display units are to be in tenths of feet, it is necessaryto convert 2feet totenths,giving us20 tenths (displayunits). The Total Scaling Factor, “K formula #1.

In order to get the maximum number of significant digits in the Scale Factor we use formula #2 and a Scale Multiplier value of 0.1 as shown below.

To obtain rate indication in Feet Per Minute, the Rate Conversion Factor is programmedfor Rate per Minute mode. A decimal pointisalso added to provide for a display of feet in 10ths.

EXAMPLE #2:

Theshaft of a positivedisplacementpump has a 14tooth sprocket that is being sensedby a magnetic pickup. It is knownthat when the unit is pumping810 liters of water per minute, the shaft is turning 400 RPM. It is desired to have a display readout in liters per minute.

Withthe Gemini 5200,it is notnecessary todealwith timeunitconversions. From the information given, we know that when the shaft has turned 400 revolutions, 810 liters of water will have been pumped. The first step we need to take, is to calculate the number of pulses that occur when 810 liters have been pumped.

NUMBER OF PULSES = # of Revolutions x Pulses per Rev.

NUMBER OF PULSES = 400 Rev x 14 Pulses per Rev = 5600 pulses.
