DESCRIPTION

The PAX2D Digital Panel Meter offers many features and performance capabilities that are not available on standard panel meters. The basic meter is a dual counter and dual rate meter all in the same package. A third counter and third rate display allows the user to do simple math functions. The optional plugin output cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for present applications, while providing easy upgrades for future needs.

Highlighting the PAX2D is a dual line, display with a large 0.71" tri-color 6 digit top display line and a 0.35", 9 digit green bottom display line. The meter also offers programmable units display providing the ability to tag the display with units of measure. Display color change capability provides machine operators a visual indication of changing conditions, even when the operator is not close enough to read the actual display value. In addition, a universal power supply provides the ultimate in flexibility for both AC and DC power.

The meter accepts digital inputs from a variety of sources including switch contacts, outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits, magnetic pickups and all standard RLC sensors. The meter can process directional, uni-directional or Quadrature signals simultaneously. The meter accepts input signals up to 50 KHz maximum depending on the count mode and function configurations programmed. Each input signal can be independently scaled to various process values.

The meter provides a MAX and MIN rate reading memory with programmable capture time. The capture time is used to prevent detection of false max or min readings which may occur during start-up or unusual process events.

The meter has up to four setpoint outputs, implemented on plug-in option cards. The plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays, quad FORM-A, or either quad sinking or quad sourcing open collector logic outputs. The setpoint alarms can be configured to suit a variety of control and alarm requirements.

The PAX2 can be programmed to utilize Modbus protocol. With Modbus, the user has access to most configuration parameters. Readout values and setpoint alarm values can be controlled through the bus. Additionally, the meter has a feature that allows a remote computer to directly control the outputs of the meter. Communication and bus capabilities are also available as option cards. These include RS232, RS485, DeviceNet, and Profibus-DP.

The PAX2 includes a built-in USB programming port. With a Windows® based program, made available by Red Lion Controls, configuration data can be downloaded to the PAX2 without the need of any additional option cards.

A linear DC output signal is available as an optional plug-in card. The card provides either 20 mA or 10 V signals. The output can be scaled independent of the input range and can track any of the counter, rate, max or min displays, or any setpoint value.

After the meter has been initially configured, the parameter programming may be locked out from further modification in its entirety, or allowing selected values accessible for quick entry.

The meter has been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments. With NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel,extensive testing of noise effects with regard to CE requirements, the meter provides a tough reliable application solution.

4.0 wiring The meTer

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.

When wiring the meter, compare the numbers embossed on the back of the meter case against those shown in wiring drawings for proper wire position. 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 screwclamp 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

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.

AC/DC

DC Power

AC/DC

The power supplied to the meter shall employ a 15 Amp UL approved circuit breaker for AC input and a 1 Amp, 250 V UL approved fuse for DC input. It shall be easily accessible and marked as a disconnecting device to the installed unit. This device is not directly intended for connection to the mains without a reliable means to reduce transient over-voltages to 1500 V.

4.2 INPUT SIGNAL WIRING

CAUTION: Sensor input common is NOT isolated from user input common. In order to preserve the safety of the meter application, the sensor input

common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective earth ground potential. If not, hazardous voltage may be present at the User Inputs and User Input Common terminals. Appropriate considerations must then be given to the potential of the user input common with respect to earth ground; and the common of the isolated plug-in cards with respect to input common.

If you are wiring Input B, connect signal to Terminal 6 instead of 5, and set DIP switches 4, 5, and 6 to the positions shown for 1, 2, and 3.

Main Display Loop

In the Main display loop, the D key is pressed to sequence through the selected Line 2 values. A left justified 2 or 3-character mnemonic indicates which Line 2 value is currently shown. When in the Main display loop, the Function keys ! and @ perform the user functions programmed in the User Input parameter section.

Parameter and Hidden Parameter Display Loops

These Display loops provide quick access to selected parameters that can be viewed and modified on Line 2 without having to enter Full Programming mode. These values include Parameter List A/B selection, setpoints, scale factors, counter load values and display (color, intensity and contrast) settings. To utilize the Parameter or Hidden Parameter Display Loops, a security code (1-250) must be programmed. (See Programming Security Code in the Display Parameters programming section for details.)

The Parameter Display Loop is accessed by pressing the P key. The selected Parameter Display Loop values can be viewed and/or changed per the Line 2 Value Access setting programmed for each available value. The Hidden Parameter Display Loop follows the Parameter display loop, and can only be accessed when the correct security code is entered at the Code prompt. Combining the two parameter loops provides an area for parameters that require general access and/or protected or secure access depending on the application needs.

While in the Parameter and Hidden Parameter loops, pressing the D key will return the meter to the Main Display Loop. To directly access the Code prompt, press and hold the P key. This can be done from the Main display loop or at any point during the Parameter display loop. Also, to directly access Full Programming mode while in the Hidden Parameter loop, press and hold the P key to bypass any remaining Hidden Parameter loop values.

PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY

The Programming Mode is entered by pressing the P key. Full Programming

Mode will be accessible unless the meter is programmed to use the Parameter loop or Hidden Parameter loop on the Line 2 display. In this case, programming access will be limited by a security code and/or a hardware program lock. (Refer to the previous section for details on Line 2 display loops and limited programming access.) Full Programming Mode permits all parameters to be viewed and modified. In this mode, the front panel keys change to Programming Mode Operations and certain user input functions are disabled.

MODULE ENTRY

The Programming Menu is organized into five modules. These modules

group together parameters that are related in function. The ! and @ keys are used to select the desired module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the P key.

MODULE MENU

Upon entering a module, a parameter selection sub-menu is provided to

choose the specific parameter type for programming. For example, this includes counter, rate and user input under the Input Parameter menu. Use the ! and @ keys to select the desired parameter type, and press the P key to enter the parameter menu.

PARAMETER MENU

Upon entering the Parameter Menu, the P key is pressed to advance to a specific parameter to be changed. After completing the parameter menu, or upon pressing the D key, the display returns to the initial entry point for the parameter menu. For each additional press of the D key, the display returns to the previous level within the module until exiting the module entirely.

SELECTION/VALUE ENTRY

For each parameter, the top line display shows the parameter while the bottom line shows the selections/value for that parameter. The ! and @ keys are used to move through the selections/values for the parameter. Pressing the P key, stores and activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter to the next parameter.

Numerical Value Entry

If the parameter is programmed for enter (Entr), the ! and @ keys are used to change the parameter values in any of the display loops.

The ! and @ keys will increment or decrement the parameter value. When the ! or @ key is pressed and held, the value automatically scrolls. The longer the key is held the faster the value scrolls.

For large value changes, press and hold the ! or @ key. While holding that key, momentarily press the opposite arrow key ( @ or ! ) to shift decades (10’s 100’s, etc), or momentarily press the D key and the value scrolls by 1000’s as the arrow key is held. Releasing the arrow key removes the decade or 1000’s scroll feature. The arrow keys can then be used to make small value changes as described above.

The next digit to the left will be selected (flashing). If both keys are pressed and held, the selected digit will scroll from right to left until one or both keys are released.

Once a digit is selected, the arrow keys are used to increment or decrement

that digit to the desired number.

PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT

To exit the Programming Mode, press and hold the D key (from anywhere in

the Programming Mode) or press the P key with Pro NO displayed. This will commit any stored parameter changes to memory and return the meter to the Display Mode. If a parameter was just changed, the P key must be pressed to store the change before pressing the D key. (If power loss occurs before returning to the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)

PRESCALER OUTPUT FIGURE

Prescaler Output Value = 0.25

SCALING CALCULATION

Each counter has the ability to scale an input signal to a desired display value.

This is accomplished by the counter mode (Cnt x), decimal point (dEC Pt), scale factor (SC FAC), and scale multiplier (SCALEr). The scale factor is calculated using:

SF (SC FAC) = DDD (Number of pulses per ‘single’ unit X CMF X SM)

Where:

Number of pulses per ‘single’ unit: pulses per unit generated by the

process (i.e. # of pulses per foot)

CMF: Counter Mode(Cnt x) times factor of the mode 1,2 or 4. SM: Scale Multiplier (SCALEr) selection of 10, 1, 0.1 or 0.01. DDD: Desired Display Decimal (1 =1, 1.0 = 10, 1.00 = 100, etc.)

Example:

1. Indicate feet to the hundredths (0.00) with 100 pulses per foot: Scale Factor would be 100 / (100 x 1 x 1) = 1 (In this case, the scale multiplier and counter mode factor are 1)

2. Indicate feet with 120 pulses per foot: Scale Factor would be 1 / (120 x 1 x 1) = 0.0083333. (In this case, the scale multiplier of 0.01 could be used: 1 / (120 x 1 x 0.01) = 0.83333 or show to hundredths (0.00): 100 / (120 x 1 x 1) =

0.8333.)

General Rules on Scaling

1. It is recommended that, the scale factor be as close as possible to, but not exceeding 1.00000. This can be accomplished by increasing or decreasing the counter decimal point position, using the scale multiplier, or selecting a different count mode.

2. To double the number of pulses per unit, use counter modes direction X2 or quad X2. To increase it by four times, use counter mode quad X4. Using these modes will decrease the allowable maximum input frequency.

3. A scale factor greater than 1.00000 will cause Counter display rounding. In this case, digit jumps could be caused by the internal count register rounding the display. The precision of a counter application cannot be improved by using a scale factor greater than 1. 00000.

4. The number of pulses per single unit must be greater than or equal to the DDD value in order for the scale factor to be less than or equal to one.

5. Lowering the scale factor can be accomplished by lowering the counter decimal position. (Example: 100 (Hundredths)/10 pulses = 10.000 lowering to 10 (Tenths)/10 = 1.000.)

RATE INPUT PARAMETERS (RAtE)

This section details programming for the Rate indicators (A, B and C) and the Maximum and Minimum Rate Capture displays. For maximum input

frequency, the Rate indicators should be disabled when they are not in use. When Rate Enable (Rate A and B) or Rate Calculation (Rate C) is set to NO or NONE, the remaining related parameters are not accessible. In the display depictions shown in this section, “x” represents A or B for the rate indicator being programmed.

RATE SCALING POINTS

SC PtS

Rtx

2 to 10

This parameter sets the number of scaling points for the Rate Scaling function. The number of scaling points used depends on the linearity of the process and the display accuracy required.

About Scaling Points

Each scaling point is specified by two programmable parameters: A desired Rate Display Value (R x dSP) and a corresponding Rate Input Value (R x INP). Scaling points are entered sequentially in ascending order of Rate Input value. Each scaling point defines the upper endpoint of a linear segment, with the lower endpoint being the previous scaling point.

Linear Application – 2 Scaling Points

Linear processes use two scaling points to provide a linear Rate display from 0 up to the maximum input frequency. For typical zero based frequency measurements, the lower point is set to display 0 for 0 Hz input (factory setting) and the upper point set to display the desired value for a given input frequency. For non-zero based applications, the lower point is set to the desired display for 0 Hz input.

Non-linear Application – Up to 10 Scaling Points

For non-linear processes, up to 10 scaling points may be used to provide a piece-wise linear approximation representing the non-linear function. The Rate Display will be linear between sequential scaling points. Thus, the greater the number of scaling points, the greater the conformity accuracy. The Crimson software provides several linearization equations for common Rate applications.

KEY APPLY

KEY

Rate Input values for scaling points can be entered by using the Key-in or the Applied style described below.

Key-in:

Enter the Rate Input value by pressing the ! or @ keys. This value is always in pulses per second (Hz).

Applied:

The existing programmed Rate Input value will appear. To retain this value, press the P key to continue to the next parameter. To enter a new value, apply an external rate signal to the appropriate input terminal. Press the @ key and the applied input frequency (in Hz) will be displayed. To insure the correct reading, wait until a consistent reading is displayed, then press the P key to accept this value as the Rate Input Value and continue to the next parameter. Follow the same procedure if using more than 2 scaling points.

RATE DISPLAY VALUE SCALING POINT 1

RX dSP

0 to 999999

For all zero-based applications (display value 0 for 0 Hz input), the Display Value and Input Value for Scaling Point 1 should be set to 0 and 0.0 respectively. For non-zero based applications, enter the desired Display Value for a 0 Hz input.

RATE LOW CUT-OUT

LO-CUt

Rtx

0 to 999999

The Low Cut Out value forces the Rate display to zero when the Rate display

falls below the value entered.

RATE SCALING

To scale the Rate, enter a Scaling Display value with a corresponding Scaling Input value. (The Display and Input values can be entered by Key-in or Applied Methods.) These values are internally plotted to a Display value of 0 and Input value of 0 Hz. A linear relationship is formed between these points to yield a rate display value that corresponds to the incoming input signal rate.

KEY-IN SCALING METHOD CALCULATION

If a display value versus input signal (in pulses per second) is known, then those values can be entered into Scaling Display (Rx dSP) and Scaling Input (Rx 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.

EXAMPLE:

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

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

RATE LOW UPDATE TIME (DISPLAY UPDATE)

LO-Udt

SEC

1.0

The Low Update Time is the minimum amount of time between display updates for all enabled Rate displays. Small Low Update Time values may increase the possibility of the display indicating an unstable input (jittery display). The factory setting of 1.0 will update the display at a minimum of every second.

SEC

HI-Udt

2.0

The High Update Time is the maximum amount of time before the enabled Rate displays are forced to zero. (For more explanation, refer to Input Frequency 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.

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 either scaling method.

USER INPUT/FUNCTION KEY PARAMETERS (USEr)

This section details the programming for the rear terminal User Inputs and front panel Function Keys. Three user inputs are individually programmable to perform

specific meter control functions. While in the Display Mode, the function is executed when the user input transitions to the active state. (Refer to the user input specifications for response times.) Certain User input functions are disabled in Programming Mode. Two front panel function keys, ! and @, are also individually programmable to perform specific meter control functions. While in the Display Mode, the primary function is executed when the key is pressed. Holding the ! or @ function key for three seconds executes a secondary function. It is possible to program a secondary function without a primary function. The front panel key functions are disabled while in Programming Mode.

In most cases, if more than one user input and/or function key is programmed for the same function, the maintained (level trigger) actions will be performed while at least one of those user inputs or function keys are activated. The momentary (edge trigger) actions are performed every time any of those user inputs or function keys transition to the active state.

The List user function has a value assignment sublist, which appears when the P key is pressed and LISt is selected. The function will only be performed for the assignment values selected as YES. If a user input or function key is configured for a function with a sublist, then that sublist will need to be scrolled through each time to access the remaining user inputs or function keys following the sublist.

Note: In the following explanations, not all selections are available for both user inputs and front panel function keys. Displays are shown with each selection. Those selections showing both displays are available for both. If a display is not shown, it is not available for that selection. In the parameter explanations, USEr-n represents all user inputs. Fn represents both function keys and second function keys.

Two lists of values are available to allow the user to switch between two sets of Setpoints, Scale Factors, Counter Load values and Units mnemonics. The two lists are List A and List B. If a user input is used to select the list then List A is selected when the user input is not active and List B is selected when the user input is active (maintained action). If a front panel key is used to select the list then the list will toggle for each key press (momentary action). The display will only indicate which list is active when the list is changed.

A submenu is used to select whether the programmed Units Mnemonics are included in the List function. Select YES in the submenu to have different Units Mnemonics for List A and List B. Select NO to display the same mnemonics regardless of the list selected.

To program the values for List A and List B, first complete the programming of all the parameters with List A selected. Exit programming and switch to List B. Re-enter programming and program the desired values for the parameters included in the List.

USEr-n

The meter issues a block print through the serial port when activated, and the serial type is set to rLC. The data transmitted during a print request and the serial type is programmed in Port (Serial) module. If the user input is still active after the transmission is complete (about 100 msec), an additional transmission occurs. As long as the user input is held active, continuous transmissions occur.

SETPOINT OUTPUT PARAMETERS (SEtPNt)

This section details the programming for the setpoints. To have output capabilities, a setpoint Plug-in card needs to be installed into the PAX2D (see Ordering Information). Depending on the card installed, there will be two or four setpoint outputs available. If no output card is installed, programming for the setpoints is still available. An Exchange Parameter Lists feature for setpoint values is explained in User Input programming. For maximum input frequency, unused setpoints should be configured for NO action.

The Setpoint Assignment and Setpoint Output Action determine setpoint feature availability. The Setpoint Parameter Availability chart illustrates this.

LOGIC

LATCH Action - The setpoint output activates when the count value equals the setpoint value. The output remains active until reset.

TIMED OUT Action - The setpoint output activates when the count value equals the setpoint value and deactivates after the Time Out value.

BOUNDARY Action - The setpoint output activates when the count value is greater than or equal to (for tYPE = HI-ACt) or less than or equal to (for tYPE = LO-ACt) the setpoint value. The setpoint output will deactivate when the count value is less than (for tYPE = HI-ACt) or greater than (for tYPE = LO-ACt) the setpoint value.

LATCH Action - The setpoint output activates when the rate value is equal to the setpoint value. The setpoint output remains active until reset. If after reset, the rate value is greater than or equal to (for tYPE = HI-ACt) or less than or equal to (for tYPE = LO-ACt) the setpoint value, the output will reactivate.

TIMED OUT Action - The setpoint output cycles when the rate value is greater than or equal to (for tYPE = HI-ACt) or less than or equal to (for tYPE = LO-ACt) the setpoint value. The Setpoint Time Out (t-OUt) and Setpoint On Delay (t-ON) values determine the cycling times. One-shot mode provides a single output pulse (t-OUt) rather than on/off cycling.

BOUNDARY Action - The setpoint output activates when the rate value is greater than or equal to (for tYPE = HI-ACt) or less than or equal to (for tYPE = LO-ACt) the setpoint value. The setpoint output will deactivate (Auto reset) as determined by the Hysteresis value.

This parameter only applies to low acting setpoint activation (boundary) type setpoints. Select YES to disable a low acting setpoint at power-up, until the assigned display value crosses into the output “off” area. Once in the output “off” area, the setpoint will function per the description for low acting activation (boundary) type.

HYSTERESIS VALUE

HYSt

0 to 59999

The hysteresis value is added to (for tYPE = LO-ACt), or subtracted from (for

tYPE = HI-ACt), the setpoint value to determine at what value to deactivate the

associated setpoint output. Hysteresis is only available for Rate assigned setpoints.

ON TIME DELAY

t-ON

0.00 to 599.99 seconds

0.00

This is the amount of time the assigned Rate display must meet the setpoint activation requirements (below setpoint for Low Acting and above setpoint for High Acting), before the setpoint output activates. If the Rate Setpoint Action is Timed-Out, this is the amount of time the output is OFF during the ON/OFF output cycling. This parameter is only available for Rate assigned setpoints.

OFF TIME DELAY

t-OFF

0.00 to 599.99 seconds

0.00

This is the amount of time the assigned Rate display must meet the setpoint deactivation requirements (below hysteresis for High Acting and above hysteresis for Low Acting), before the setpoint output deactivates. This parameter is only available for Rate assigned setpoints.

OUTPUT RESET WITH COUNTER RESET

rESEt

NO YESs

Selecting YES causes the Setpoint output to deactivate (reset) when the

Setpoint Assigned Counter is reset. The only exception is when the assigned counter is reset by a setpoint generated counter auto reset.

OUTPUT RESET AT Sn+1

RSt-Sn

NO Sn-Str Sn-End

Selecting Sn-Str causes the setpoint output to deactivate (reset) when

setpoint Sn + 1 activates. (Example: S1 deactivates when S2 activates, and S4 when S1 activates.) The last setpoint will wrap around to the first.

Selecting Sn-End causes the setpoint output to deactivate (reset) when

setpoint Sn + 1 activates and then times out (deactivates). This selection only applies if the Sn + 1 setpoint action is Timed Out. (Example: S1 deactivates when S2 is activated and then times out.) The last setpoint will wrap around to the first. This parameter is only available for Counter assigned setpoints.

If the setpoint action is Timed Out and the setpoint is assigned to Counter, then this is the amount of time the output will activate once the count value equals the setpoint value. If the setpoint action is Timed Out and the setpoint is assigned to Rate, then this is the amount of time the output is ON during the ON / OFF output cycling. If Rate Timed Output One-Shot mode is enabled, then this is the time duration for the one-shot output pulse.

LINE 2 PARAMETERS (LINE 2)

This section details programming for the Line 2 (Bottom Line) Display. The Counter values, Rate values, Rate Capture values, Setpoint values and Parameter List A/B status can all be shown on the Line 2 display. The display loops described below are used to view, reset and modify the selected display values, based on the Line 2 Value Access setting programmed for each available value.

Main Display Loop

In the Main Display Loop, the selected values can be consecutively read on Line 2 by pressing the D key. A left justified 2 or 3-character mnemonic indicates which Line 2 value is currently shown. When in the Main display loop, the Function keys ! and @ perform the User functions programmed in the User Input program section.

Parameter Display Loop and Hidden Parameter Loop

These display loops provide quick access to selected parameters that can be viewed and modified on Line 2 without having to enter Full Programming Mode. These values include Parameter List A/B selection, Setpoints, Scale Factors, Counter Load values and Display Settings (color, intensity and contrast). To utilize the Parameter or Hidden Parameter loops, a security code (1-250) must be programmed. (See Programming Security Code at the end of this section.)

The Parameter display loop is accessed by pressing the P key. The selected Parameter display loop values can be viewed and/or changed per the Line 2 Value Access setting programmed for each available value. The Hidden Parameter Loop follows the Parameter display loop, and can only be accessed when the correct security code is entered at the Code prompt.

0 to 250

To activate either the Parameter or Hidden Parameter display loops, a security

code (1-250) must be entered. If a “0” security code is programmed, pressing the P key takes you directly to the Full Programming Mode.

The Security Code determines the programming mode and the accessibility

of programming parameters. This code can be used along with the Program Mode Lock-out (PLOC) in the User Input Function parameter (Input [User] module).

Two programming modes are available. Full Programming Mode allows all parameters to be viewed and modified. Parameter display loop mode provides access to those selected parameters, that can be viewed and/or modified without entering the Full programming mode.

The following chart indicates the levels of access based on various CodE and User Input PLOC settings.

serial COmmuniCaTiOns

The PAX2D supports serial communications using the optional serial communication cards or via the USB programming port located on the side of the unit. When USB is being used (connected), the serial communication card is disabled. When using the standard RS232 and RS485 Pax option cards, the PAX2D supports both the RLC protocol and also supports Modbus communications. The Pax Modbus option card should not be used with the PAX2D, as the PAX2D internal Modbus protocol supports complete unit configuration, and is much more responsive.

USB

The USB programming port is primarily intended to be used to configure the PAX2D with the Crimson programming software. It can also be used as a virtual serial communications port following installation of the PAX2D USB drivers that are supplied with the Crimson software. When the USB port is being used, i.e. the USB cable is connected between PAX2D and PC, all serial communications with the serial option card (if used) is disabled.

USB Cable type required: USB A to Mini-B (not supplied)

PAX2D CONFIGURATION USING CRIMSON AND USB

1. Install Crimson software.

2. Supply power to PAX2D.

3. Insure USB Configuration (CONFIG) in USB Port Parameters is set to AUtO

(factory default setting).

4. Attach USB cable (USB A to Mini-B) between PC and PAX2D.

5. Create a new file (File, New) or open an existing PAX2D database within

Crimson.

6. Configure Crimson Link options (Link, Options) to the serial port which the

USB cable is attached (in Step 4).

SERIAL MODBUS COMMUNICATIONS

Modbus Communications requires that the Serial Communications Type Parameter (tYPE) be set to “Mbrtu” or “MbASC”.

PAX2D CONFIGURATION USING CRIMSON AND SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS CARD

1. Install Crimson software.

2. Install RS232 or RS485 card and connect communications cable from PAX2D

to PC.

3. Supply power to PAX2D.

4. Configure serial parameters (SERIAL) to Modbus RTU “Mbrtu”, 38,400 baud,

address 247.

5. Create a new file (File, New) or open an existing PAX2D database within

Crimson.

6. Configure Crimson Link options (Link, Options) to the serial port which the

communication cable is attached (in step 2).

SENDING SERIAL COMMANDS AND DATA TO THE METER

When sending commands to the meter, a string containing at least one command character must be constructed. A command string consists of a command character, a value identifier, numerical data (if writing data to the meter) followed by a command terminator character * or $. The <CR> is also available as a terminator when Counter C is in the SLAVE mode.

Request

Address a specific meter. Must be followed by a two digit node address. Not required when address = 00.

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

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

Initiates a block print output. Registers are defined in programming.

Command String Construction

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

1. The first characters consist of the Node Address Specifier (N) followed by a

1 or 2 character address number. The address number of the meter is

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

itself may be omitted. For node address 1 through 9, a leading zero character

is not required. (The only exception is a numeric transmission when Counter

C is set for slave mode.) This is the only command that may be used in

conjunction with other commands.

2. After the optional address specifier, the next character is the command

character.

3. The next character is the Register ID. This identifies the register that the

command affects. The P command does not require a Register ID character.

It prints according to the selections made in print options.

4. If constructing a value change command (writing data), the numeric data is

sent next.

5. All command strings must be terminated with the string termination

characters *, $ or when Counter C is set for slave mode <CR>. The meter

does not begin processing the command string until this character is received.

See Timing Diagram figure for differences between terminating characters.

Sending Numeric Data

Numeric data sent to the meter must be limited to the digit range shown under transmit details 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 = 0.0 and 25 is written to a register. The value of the register is now 2.5.

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 by the meter in response to either a transmit command (T), a print block command (P) or User Function print request. The response from the meter is either a full field transmission or an abbreviated transmission. The meter response mode is selected in Serial Port Parameters (Abrv).

Full Field Transmission (Address, Mnemonic, Numeric data)

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 node address, unless the node address assigned = 0, in which case spaces are substituted. A space follows the node address field. The next three characters are the register mnemonic.

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

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

Auto/Manual Mode Register (MMR) ID: U

This register sets the controlling mode for the outputs. In Auto Mode (0) the meter controls the setpoint and analog output. In Manual Mode (1) the outputs are defined by the registers SOR and AOR. When transferring from auto mode to manual mode, the meter holds the last output value (until the register is changed by a write). Each output may be independently changed to auto or manual. In a write command string (VU), any character besides 0 or 1 in a field will not change the corresponding output mode.

U abcde

e = Analog Output

d = SP4

c = SP3

b = SP2

a = SP1

Example: VU00011* places SP4 and Analog in manual.

Analog Output Register (AOR) ID: W

This register stores the present signal value of the analog output. The range of values of this register is 0 to 4095, which corresponds to the analog output range per the following chart:

Value

0 0.00 4.00 0.000

1 0.005 4.004 0.0025

2047 10.000 12.000 5.000

4094 19.995 19.996 9.9975

4095 20.000 20.000 10.000

Output Signal*

0-20 mA 4-20 mA 0-10 V

*Due to the absolute accuracy rating and resolution of the output card, the

actual output signal may differ 0.15% FS from the table values. The output

signal corresponds to the range selected (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA or 0-10 V).

Writing to this register (VW) while the analog output is in the Manual Mode causes the output signal level to update immediately to the value sent. While in the Automatic Mode, this register may be written to, but it has no effect until the analog output is placed in the manual mode. When in the Automatic Mode, the meter controls the analog output signal level. Reading from this register (TW) will show the present value of the analog output signal.

Example: VW2047* will result in an output of 10.000 mA, 12.000 mA or

5.000V depending on the range selected.

Setpoint Output Register (SOR) ID: X

This register stores the states of the setpoint outputs. Reading from this register (TX) will show the present state of all the setpoint outputs. A “0” in the setpoint location means the output is off and a “1” means the output is on.

X abcd

d = SP4

c = SP3

b = SP2

a = SP1

In Automatic Mode, the meter controls the setpoint output state. In Manual Mode, writing to this register (VX) will change the output state. Sending any character besides 0 or 1 in a field or if the corresponding output was not first in manual mode, the corresponding output value will not change. (It is not necessary to send least significant 0s.)

Example: VX10* will result in output 1 on and output 2 off.

COUNTER C SERIAL SLAVE DISPLAY

Counter C may be programmed for SLAUE to act as a serial slave display. In

this mode, the carriage return <CR> is added as a valid command terminator character for all serial command strings. The <CR> as a terminator may be very useful for standard serial commands, even if Counter C is never displayed or sent a slave message. The <*> and <$> are also recognized as valid terminators for the serial slave.

The Counter C slave display is right aligned, and has the capacity of displaying six characters on Line 1 or nine characters on Line 2. When less than the full display of characters is received, blank spaces are placed in front of the characters. If more than the full display of characters is received, only the last six (or nine) characters are displayed. The meter has an internal 300 character buffer for the slave display. If more than 300 characters are received, the additional characters are discarded until a <CR> is received. At that point, the last six (or nine) characters in the buffer are displayed.

Counter C processes Numeric and Literal slave transmissions as follows.

Numeric Transmissions

When a string that does not begin with #, T, V, P or R is received, the meter processes it as a Numeric transmission. In this case, only numbers and a minus sign can be displayed. All other characters in the string are discarded. If a minus sign appears anywhere in the string the resulting number will be negative. If a decimal point is desired, it is programmed in Counter C setup and is ignored in the serial string. If no numerical characters are received, then the numeric value will be zero.

The numeric display can be used for setpoint (boundary action only) and analog output functions. The numeric value is retained in Counter C memory until another Numeric transmission is received. If a numeric values is not to be saved to non-volatile memory, send the value as a literal transmission.

Note: Numeric transmissions sent to meter addresses 1 through 9 must have a

leading zero character sent with the address (i.e. N01 through N09).

Literal Transmissions

When a string that begins with # is received, the meter processes it as a Literal transmission. In this case, only numeric and alphabetic characters or a minus sign (dash) will be processed. Any other non-alphanumeric character will be discarded. Non-displayable alphabetic characters (M, W and X) will be replaced with a space. A Literal display overrides any Units Mnemonics characters, when shown on Line 2.

A Literal display will replace a Numeric value in the Counter C display. However, it will not remove a previous Numeric value from Counter C memory or prevent the Counter C assigned outputs from functioning with the previous Numeric value.

Displayable Alphabetic Characters:

Downloading Data from a G3 to a PAX2D

Communications:

Port: RS232 Comms Raw Serial Port

Port Driver: <system> Raw Serial Port Programming:

PortPrint(2, “N01” + IntToText(Var1, 10, 6) + “\r”);

This program is called from the Global On Tick. It sends “N01” (the meter address), followed by the ASCII equivalent of Var1, then a carriage return.

COMMAND RESPONSE TIME

The meter can only receive data or transmit data at any one time (half-duplex operation). 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 (*) 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 * # 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 from 2 msec to 15 msec. If no response from the meter is expected, the meter is ready to accept another command.

If the meter is to reply with data, the time interval t2 is controlled by the use of the command terminating character and the Serial Transmit Delay parameter (dELAY). The standard command line terminating character is “*”. This terminating character results in a response time window of the Serial Transmit Delay time (dELAY) plus 15 msec. maximum. The dELAY parameter should be programmed to a value that allows sufficient time for the release of the sending driver on the RS485 bus. Terminating the command line with “$” results in a response time window (t2) of 2 msec minimum and 15 msec maximum. The 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.

t3 = (10 * # of characters) / baud rate.

At the end of t3, the meter is ready to receive the next command. The maximum serial throughput of the meter is limited to the sum of the times t1, t2 and t3.

NO REPLY FROM METER

RESPONSE FROM METER

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 RS232* RS485*INTERFACE STATE

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

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

* 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.

Start bit and Data bits

Data transmission always begins with the start bit. The start bit signals the receiving device to prepare for reception of data. One bit period later, the least significant bit of the ASCII encoded character is transmitted, followed by the remaining data bits. The receiving device then reads each bit position as they are transmitted. Since the sending and receiving devices operate at the same transmission speed (baud rate), the data is read without timing errors.

Character Frame Figure

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 PAX 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 PAX meter.

METER CALIBRATION

COdE

Enter Code 48 and choose Rate or Analog Output calibration.

The only items in the PAX2D meter that can be calibrated are the Rate Indicator accuracy and the Analog Output. The Rate Indicator is scaled in the Rate Input Parameter programming section. The Analog Output signal is scaled in the Analog Output Parameter section. If the Rate display or the Analog Output appears to be indicating incorrectly or inaccurately, refer to the Troubleshooting section to make sure the meter is properly scaled for the application.

If Rate accuracy or Analog Output recalibration is required (generally every 2 years), it should be performed by qualified technicians using appropriate equipment. Calibration does not change any user programmed parameters.

Note: Allow a 30 minute warm-up period before staring calibration.

Rate Indicator calibration is done by adjusting the Rate Accuracy Offset value. This value provides a Rate calculation adjustment factor expressed in percent of the display reading. An adjustment range of ± 0.01% is provided, which equals ± 1 count for a display reading of 10,000.

The initial offset value is set during factory test. To calibrate, connect a precision signal generator with an accuracy of 0.005% or better to Input A on the PAX2D. (Refer to the Rate Input Parameter programming section for Rate setup details.) Using the Rate A Decimal Point position and Scaling Display parameters, program the meter to read the input frequency with maximum display resolution (i.e. 6-digit display reading). Compare the Rate display to the signal generator output frequency. Adjust the Rate Accuracy Offset value higher (for low Display reading) or lower (for high Display Reading) until the Rate display matches the signal generator.

Analog Output Card Calibration

Before starting, verify that a precision meter with an accuracy of 0.05% or better (voltmeter for voltage output and/or current meter for current output) is connected and ready. Using the chart below, step through the five selections to be calibrated. At each prompt, use the PAX2D ! and @ keys to adjust the output so that the external meter display matches the selection being calibrated. When the external reading matches, or if the range is not being calibrated, press the P key to advance to the next range. When all the desired ranges have been calibrated, exit programming mode and remove the external meters.
