“How to Operate” Teaching Feature

NOTE: This feature can only be used in mode -01-.

With the DT-5TXR/DT-5TS it is possible to monitor the speed
of a motor when the number of pulses that the sensor is

generating is unknown. The RPM can be programmed
into the meter if it is already known or discovered by

using a handheld tachometer (Shimpo models DT-105A
or DT-107A for contact measurement; DT-205LR or DT-207LR

for non-contact measurement). The meter will then use
this number to set parameters 1 and 2.

Set the teaching feature as follows:

1. Determine the output RPM.

2. Confirm that the meter is receiving a signal from the

The primary display is now showing parameter 3

If the variation of motor speed or time measurement is important and a “range” must be monitored, then “high” and
“low” visual limits can be programmed through secondary displays A and B, respectively.

Instructions to set the high and low limits:

1. Use the lower buttons (1-6) to set the high limit on secondary display A. There are six digits that can be
programmed and each one of these buttons corresponds with the digit position. Each time one of the buttons

is pressed, the display will increment that position one number (for example, if 56000 RPM needs to be programmed
as the high limit, then NUMERIC button 2 would have to be pressed five times and NUMERIC button 3 would be

pressed six times).

2. Use the lower buttons (7 - BACKSPACE) to set the low limit on secondary display B. These six buttons also
correspond with the digit positions and will increment that position one number (for example, if 3425 RPM needs

to be programmed as the low limit, then NUMERIC button 9 should be pressed three times, NUMERIC button 0
pressed four times, NEGATIVE/DECIMAL button pressed twice and the BACKSPACE button pressed five times).

3. Press the SET button to store the limit settings.

The comparator indicators will illuminate when the primary display exceeds the high set point ( ∆ ) or the low set
point ( ∇ ).

NOTE: The DT-5TXR provides relay or transistor closures (see section “Modules Available for DT-5TXR” on page 15).

Memory Feature

The function of the MEM button is to aid the
DT-5TXR/DT-5TS to memorize and display through the

secondary displays the maximum and minimum value of
the main display for as long as it has been activated.

Simply activate the MEM button by pushing it
momentarily. The lower left secondary display will reflect

the maximum value of the main display and the lower
right secondary display will reflect the minimum value of

the main display. Also a small LED will begin to flash.

To de-activate the memory feature, simply push the MEM
button again. The LED under it will stop flashing and

the secondary displays will return to their previous state.

Setting Examples

MODE -01- (RPM or Rate Measurement)

The DT-5TXR/5TS units are fully scalable, which means that
RPM can be used to display linear speed in many units,

i.e. ft/m, yd/m, m/m, in/m etc. Please use the following
example as a guide for programming this feature.

Suppose a motor drives a roller through a speed reducer
and the speed of the roller is 100 RPM when the speed

of the motor is 1,700 RPM (due to load, in this case the
roller). The roller feeds a belt that carries material from

point A to point B and we want to monitor the speed of
the belt in ft/m at all times.

D

Parameter 4 is selectable and is used when there is a
steady increase/decrease in speed and the operator wants

to observe the changes (in this case higher update times
are selected) or if the speed changes rapidly within certain

limits (this may bother the observer) a lower update time
is selected.

Parameter 5 is set according to how quickly the operator
wants to see the display go to “0” after the sensor stops

producing an output.

Set parameter 6 according to the sensor being used.

MODE -02-

As stated in the previous example, the DT-5TXR/DT-5TS
units are fully scalable. This is true for not only rate

measurement but also time measurement. The following
is an elapsed time measurement/monitoring example.

The elapsed time for curing a product in a commercial
oven is critical and must be monitored. From the oven’s

specifications it is possible to discover either the velocity
(speed) that the conveyor moves product or the amount

of time that the product has to be in the oven.

The following are known: (refer to the mode -01­parameters table on the bottom of page 7)

a) Parameter 1 = 1 p/r (one marker on the face of the

roller)
b) Parameter 2 = 100 RPM (due to speed reducer)
c) Parameter 3 = ? (ft/m)

Parameter 3 is calculated b y determining the
circumference of the roller and multiplying by the RPM

(parameter 2). The circumference can be determined by
multiplying π times the diameter (C=π D). The diameter

must be measured in whatever unit needs to be
monitored. Because ft/m needs to be monitored, the

diameter needs to be measured in feet. If it is assumed
that the roller is one foot in diameter (D=1) and

π=3.14159, then the circumference would have to be

3.14159 ft. This number would then be multiplied by
100 (parameter 2) to arrive at 314.159 ft/m, parameter 3.

Now:

a) Parameter 1 = 1 p/r
b) Parameter 2 = 100 RPM
c) Parameter 3 = 314.159 ft/m

After these parameters have been programmed (see
page 8), feet per minute will be displayed and will

fluctuate with the changing RPM.

NOTE: If neither of these can be found, simply use a hand
held tachometer to measure the conveyor belt speed.

From either one of the above methods the 5m-long oven
is determined to have a belt speed of 2.8m/m. In this

example a rotary pulse generator is being used that is
moving at 1,200 RPM and generating 60 pulses per

revolution. Therefore the following facts are known:

a) The length of the oven is 5 meters
b) The speed of the pulse generator is 1,200 RPM

(parameter 2)

c) The p/r of the pulse generator is 60 pulses

(parameter 1)

d) The belt speed is 2.8 m/m
Use the formula t=d/v, to determine the amount of time

that the product will spend in the oven (parameter 3).
Dividing 5 (length of oven) by 2.8 (speed of oven

conveyor) equals 1.786 min (107 seconds or 1 min and
47 seconds) , parameter 3 (see page 9 for programming).

Parameters 4 and 5 should be set to the operator’s
preference. Set parameter 6 according to the sensor

being used.

Now the unit will display time as it relates to the RPM.

For example, if the RPM falls to 600, the display will show
214 seconds.

For example: if the RPM drops to 50, then the display
will show 157.079 ft/m.

In the example given, parameters 4, 5 and 6 needed no
change; these are adjusted according to operator

preference.

Setting Examples (continued)

MODE -03-

This mode is used to measure the time a process takes
from start to finish. An example could be a CNC machine

that is programmed to make a certain part (push, bend,
drill and stop). Need to know how much time it takes

from start to finish so that future plans can be made
when time comes to make several pieces of the same

part. This requires a timer to be able to start counting
then stop and display the actual process time.

01

The DT-5TXR/DT-5TS has a MODE for this application (and
similar ones) where it can measure the ON time of a signal

that starts when the process begins until it ends (see
signal waveform diagram - top, right).

NOTE: The diagrams to the right show a typical process
application where the proximity switch sends a signal to

the DT-5TXR/DT-5TS telling it when the process started and
also when it is finished upon the return of the press table.

As was mentioned above, MODE -03- of the DT-5TXR/5TS is
able to count and display that process time.

Modules Available for DT-5TXR

A variety of modules are available to provide an array of
output and input options when using the DT-5TXR.

Most of the modules have either a “T” or “C” suffix in
the part number. The “T” indicates that the module’s

communication is wired through the terminal; the “C”
indicates that the module’s communication is wired

through a 36 pin connector (see “Rear Panel and
Terminals”, top of page 5). The only exception is the

DOP-BCD module, which is always wired through the
36-pin connector.

When purchasing a DT-5TXR with modules, please consult
the following:

Upper Connector Options (with Terminal Block “T”)

DOP-FVTR (Analog output: 0-1VDC, 1-5VDC, 0-10VDC
and 4-20mA)

DOP-CPTR (Relay output: HI, GO, LO; 3 “C” type relays)
DOP-TRTR (NPN OC output: H (1), H (2), GO, L (1), L (2)

and ZERO)
DOP-RMTR (Ratio of two input functions)

Lower Connector Options (with Connectors “C”)

DOP-FVC (Analog output: 0-1VDC, 1-5VDC, 0-10VDC
and 4-20mA)

DOP-BCD (BCD output, TTL compatible)

All Module Combinations/Arrangements
The above modules are available for the DT-5TXR with

the following combinations:

DT-5TXR with DOP-TRTR Module

DT-5TXR-TRTR

The DT-5TXR panel meter with the DOP-TRTR
module provides two high set points (limits)

and two low set points in addition to the normal GO
signal output. The module have an additional

ZERO speed signal output feature which is very useful in
many applications.

Connect proper voltage (AC or DC depending on model)
between pin 1 and 2 and set your mode, parameters

etc. as described in previous pages and follow the
instructions described on page 11 to set up the two sets

of low and high set points (limits).

When using the DOP-TRTR module, the various outputs
will appear on the terminal strip as shown below:

All outputs should be isolated through an opto-coupler.
Each transistor can handle up to 30VDC and no more

than 20mA.

The different outputs are not achieved through
programming, but by making the proper connections.

DT-5TXR-BCD

The model DT-5TXR-BCD combination satisfies PCs and PLCs
that require a BCD (parallel) signal. The DOP-BCD module

can be configured with a negative logic output (0=HI
and 1=LO) or a positive logic output (0=LO and 1=HI),

depending upon what the PC or PLC requires.

Instructions to change the logic output are as follows:

1. Turn the input signal off.

2. Press the FUN button ten times; the display will reflect:

The waveforms show that when the ENABLE function is
LO, the BCD output data goes to a high impedance state

to facilitate the selection of one unique DT-5TXR-BCD unit
among several that might be feeding the same PLC. At

the same time, when the HOLD function goes LO, the
BCD data stop changing, though the display value changes

according to the new information fed into the DT-5TX.
This provides time for the PLC to catch up (if needed).

The BCD data can only change when the update time
signal is low.

The table below shows the pin assignments of the 36-pin
connector relative to the DOP-BCD.

This means that we are in MODE -01-, function 10,
which shows that the DOP-BCD is set for negative

logic “0” (factory setting).

3. Press any of the lower buttons to toggle the main
display between “0” (negative logic) and “1” (positive

logic).

4. Press the SET button to store the output logic setting
and exit.
