CONTROL INSTRUMENT FEATURES

This section outlines the most commonly used features of the Hawk 3 controller
and functions as a quick start guide. Please refer to the table of contents to find
in-depth information or advanced features.

Installation and Wiring

See Section 1 in this manual for specific wiring and installation information per­taining to user’s specific unit. With only the power supply wired, the Hawk 3 can
be programmed before installation. The Hawk 3 features non-volatile memory;
programming information will not be lost due to power loss or when changing
meter’s location.

Programming

Many of the advanced features of the Hawk 3 respond to, and interact with, each
other. When programming the Hawk 3 it is important that the proper order is fol­lowed when setting up features. The following is the recommended order.

1. Decimal Point

2. Linearization (AKA Scaling)

3. Set Point/Relay Control (if applicable)

4. Analog output or other applicable controls.

Basic Key Operation (for Programming)

1. W enters the main programming menu, backs out of submenus (one level at a

time) and returns to run mode from the main menu. Exiting the programming
menu in this manner assures that all changes will be saved. W also moves
the cursor to the left.

2. ST scrolls through menus and changes parameters.

3. RES opens submenus, moves a blinking parameter into edit mode and allows
editing.

Decimal Point

Using the 3-1/2 digital Hawk 3 as an example, the decimal point can be placed
in any one of 5 locations without affecting the number. For example, 10 volts will
display as 10.00. This display can be changed to get 100.0. Keep in mind that the
decimal point is still needed for some applications.

1. Press W to enter the programming mode.

2. Scroll S until “dCtL” (display control) shows. Press nter .

3. When “DP” and “2345” flashes, press ter .

“Form C” (SPDT) relay that activates in relationship to
“SP1”.

The dual relay consists of two Form C” (SPDT) relays that activate in relationship to “SP1” & “SP2”.

The quad relay consists of four “Form A” (SPST) relays that activate in relationship to “SP1” through
“SP4”.

WARNING/CAUTION: “SP3” and “SP4” connections share a common.

All relay contacts are rated at 250 VAC @ 5 amp maximum. The rating of the relay contact
is intended for resistive circuits only. Use a snubber circuit to protect the contacts from
inductive loads.

AVERTISSEMENT / ATTENTION: “SP3” et connexions “SP4” partagent une
commune.

Tous les contacts de relais sont évalués à 250 VAC @ 5 ampères maximum. La
note du contact de relais est destiné uniquement aux circuits résistifs. Utiliser un
circuit de protection pour protéger les contacts à partir de charges inductives.

DC to DC Supply

The AC power cards operate from standard 50/60 Hz line power. The polarity for connecting
AC power (IN˜) is unimportant. The unit operates either way. The DC to DC power card is an

isolated supply that operates between 9 and 36 volts DC.

The “Hold” feature is used to freeze the display. When the contacts are shorted, the display will
“Hold” the last reading until short is removed. It is recommended that a mechanical switch or
relay be used to activate the hold circuit; solid state relays may give unexpected results. The
hold circuit cannot be externally powered.

An external fuse is required for safe operation. For AC supply, use a Slow Blow fuse at .25A,
Littlefuse Part No. 313.250 or equal. For DC supply use a Slow Blow fuse at 1.25A, Littlefuse
Part No. 3131.25 or equal. Fuse only one input.

CAUTION: Hazardous voltages may be present. Disconnect power before
making or removing connections.

Des tensions dangereuses peuvent être présentes. Coupez l’alimentation
électrique avant d’effectuer ou de retirer les connexions.

4. OUTPUT CARDS

The 4-20mA output card will generate an isolated output between 4mA and
20mA that is related to the input level. This relationship can be set using the
menu. Linearization will also affect the relation. The factory default is when
the input is at its lowest level, the output is 4mA. When the input is at the
maximum rated input, the output is at 20mA.

The RS-485 card is used for communication in a network where multiple
sensors (not necessarily those of Hawk 3) report back to a central host
computer.

The RS-485 card is congured for 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, half
duplex serial communication, and will respond on a polled basis only. Each

Hawk 3 will respond to it’s own unique address only after being requested by
the host. The Hawk 3 remains a listener until asked to respond. (See section
7 of this manual for further details about using the RS-485 card.)

18

6.1 Programming Order

The following parameter order is recommended to change the display from the
default values. Parameters entered in any other order may cause unexpected
results.

DP - Always change the decimal point location first, to the desired display range. The
decimal point will then be in the proper position for setting setpoints or linearization.
Magnifying the display from 10 to 100 is as simple as moving the decimal point.

LIN - Linearization affects the setpoints and analog-out results. If decimal point
location is changed, it will display in the wrong place for electrical input, but in the
desired location for output display.

SP 1 – 4 - The setpoints follow the displayed results of any linearization or decimal
point settings and not necessarily the electrical input.

A OUT - The analog-out “Hi and Lo” settings also track the display results from the
above changes and not the electrical input.

6.2 General Programming Guidelines

Changes can be made while programming, unless the outputs or relay alarms are
critical to operation.

1. Press W to move in and out of the main programming.

2. PressS or T to scroll to desired submenu. Press REs to enter a submenu.
Press W to scroll back to main menu.

3. To change a flashing parameter press REs and press S,Tor W. To save

change and proceed to the next change, press .

the

NOTE: ALWAYS SAVE CHANGES! Improperly saved changes will be lost if
power fails.

4. Press REs after making the last change, then return to run mode by pressing
W while in main menu mode. “Updt FLSH” will display before displaying run
mode.

6.3 Programming Menu

Available menu choices depend on the operator’s password rights. Use caution
when changing values “on the fly” because relay changes are immediate upon
exiting menus. While in local menu, RS-485 communications will halt to avoid
command conflict. When in local or remote menu, relay and alarm operations are
suspended. If left in menu mode the local or remote menu will “time out” in two
minutes then resume normal operation.

The analog output is a current or voltage that represents an equivalent range
of signal on the input. Analog output can be purchased as 4-20mADC out or
0-10V DC out. When installed, the Hawk 3 senses the card and opens the menu
choices available to the card.

6.7.1 Setting the Limits (LIM)

The ends of the analog output range (4 & 20 or 0 & 10) can be set or ‘pegged’
anywhere within the displayed value of the meter.

Example 1: The Hawk 3 is purchased as a standard 200 volt meter. The analog
output is configured by default , HI=100.0 and LO=0. When the display reaches
100 volts, the analog output will be 20mA. When the display reaches 0 volts the
analog output will be 4mA. In order to change the analog output to 20mA at 200
volts change the “HI” to 200.0

Example 2: The Hawk 3 is purchased as a process meter 4-20 mA input which
displays 0-100 percent. The analog output is configured, by default, for HI=100.0
and LO=0. When the display reaches 100 percent the analog output will be 20
mA. (Because the meter is a process meter, the input should be 20mA.) When the
display reaches 0 percent the analog output will be 4mA.

The limits can be moved or reversed (HI=0 and LO= 80.0). In this case when the
display reads “0”, the analog output will be 20mA and when the display reads “80”,
the analog output will be 4mA.

24

6.8 Scaling / Linearization Control

25

Improved linearization on the Hawk 3 allows use of all digits; -9999 to 9999 with
the 3.5 digit version and -99999 to 99999 with the 4.5 digit version. The 4.5 ver­sion can also be linearized up to 16 points in order to accommodate non-linear
processes. The 3.5 version only has 2 point linearization.

NOTE: Linearization must be done with a positive slope. Linearization cannot be
done with a negative slope or parabola.

Multi-point Linearization: In this mode the display will not relate to the electrical
input. This case is typically used to flatten a logarithmic response. This feature is
only included on the 4-1/2 digit unit. Up to 16 points of data can be entered.

Using the example of a 20V DC meter, we wish to monitor a -5 to 20V DC pressure
transducer that spans 0 psi to 300 psi but in a non linear way.
The transducer manufacturer provides the following information:

-5 Volts = 0 Psi
0 Volts =10Psi
5 Volts = 40Psi
15 Volts = 80Psi
18 Volts =200Psi
20 Volts =300Psi
We will use this data to develop 6 point linearization.
Notice that on Multi-point linearization no symmetry is assumed. The display will

show over-range (EEE or –EEE) when the display exceeds 30000 (300.00) or

28

goes below 0 (0.00).

7. RS-485 COMMUNICATIONS

The RS-485 card is used for communication in a network where multiple sensors
(not necessarily Hawk 3 sensors) report back to a central host computer.
The RS-485 card is configured for 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, half duplex
serial communication, and will respond on a polled basis only. Each Hawk 3 will
respond to its own unique address only after being requested by the host. The
Hawk 3 remains a listener until asked to respond.

NOTE: User-friendly interface software for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
is available to program and control the Hawk 3 remotely via the RS-485. Contact
Simpson Electric Company for details.

7.1 RS-485 Command Structure

[Prefix][Address][Command][Checksum][Carriage Return]

7.2 Prefix

The Hawk 3 listens for messages beginning with one of two prefix characters, the
dollar sign ($ , ASCII 36, 24h) or the pound sign (# , ASCII 35, 23h).
The dollar sign ($) requests a short response from the Hawk and the pound sign
(#) requests a long response with checksum from the Hawk.

7.3 Address

The next two characters represent the unit’s address. The characters can range
from “01” to “99”. All other characters in this position are ignored. This will match
the corresponding address on the Hawk 3 unit.

For example: With the address on the Hawk set at “01” the command to address
it would be “$01”.
The same scheme is used to derive the checksum on a long response, the carriage
return is again not calculated into the checksum.

7.4 Valid Commands

30

The rst 10 commands do not suspend the Hawk operation and are valid com mands for either

“Full” or “Inq” modes.

RD Read the display and any tripped alarms.
RST Reset any latched relays.
RA1 Read alarm setpoint 1 information
RA2 Read alarm setpoint 2 information
RA3 Read alarm setpoint 3 information
RA4 Read alarm setpoint 4 information
RL Read linearization values.
MAX Read the maximum value reached.
(MM1 must have been previously sent or HI LO was locally set to “on”)
MIN Read the minimum value reached.
(MM1 must have been previously sent or HI LO was locally set to “on”)
AO Read analog output setting information.
TAR Capture current display and use as tare or Zero offset.

(T1 must have been previously sent or tare was locally set to “on”)

The following 40 commands are only available if Hawk 3 is set to “Full” mode.
Where the term “VALUE” is used it will represent a 5 digit number with a properly located decimal point.

WARNING: These commands suspend the operation of Hawk 3 until the “EXIT” command is
issued. Hawk 3 will then resume monitoring its input and operating relays.

(After 2 minutes, the unit will time out, ush all changes and resume normal operation.)

ATTENTION: Ces commandes suspendre l’opération de Hawk 3 jusqu’à ce que la
commande “EXIT” est émis. Faucon 3 reprendra ensuite le suivi de ses relais d’entrée et
de fonctionnement.
(Après 2 minutes, l’appareil expirer, rincer tous les changements et reprendre le
fonctionnement normal.)

(0-5) Set decimal point location. 0= off,

DP

1= before lsb… 5= before msb

through 999 and -999)

Note: Linearization points must be loaded in ascending order, or unit will function
erratically.

LP0 Linearization Off (Display values as measured

electrically).

LP(1 – 16) The number of linearization points to be load-

ed.

L1 (eVALUE),(dVALUE) One point Linearization. Refer to the table on
Linearization (6.5.6 and 6.5.7)

L13 (eVALUE),(dVALUE)
L14 (eVALUE),(dVALUE)
L15 (eVALUE),(dVALUE)
L16 (eVALUE),(dVALUE) Sixteen point Linearization.
EXIT Implement previously sent commands. The Hawk

3 will then resume monitoring its input and operat­ing relays.

Note: EXIT does not permanently save the changes.

SAVE Save present settings in flash memory.

Note: This step allows the unit to remember changes after a power down and to

allow the Hawk 3 to resume normal operations. This step is not required for com-

mands that work in “Query” mode.

32

Response Structure:

The Hawk 3 will not echo the command sent to it, but, will reply in one of three
ways:

1. “%” and some error message. The command was not understood or the

optional checksum failed.

2. “*” The command was accepted and the response requires no data.

3. “*{DATA}” The command was accepted and DATA is supplied in return.

The percent mark (% , ASCII 37, 25h) and the asterisk (* , ASCII 42, 2Ah) are
the only two valid response prefix characters.

Response Delay:

Hawk 3 should respond in less than 50mS. During this waiting period, no other
commands should be issued. If Hawk 3 does not respond, assume no response
and timeout.

7.5 Examples

NOTE: All replies will terminate with a carriage return (^M , ASCII 13, 0Dh).

The following are some examples of commands and their expected response:

$02RD Read unit with address 02
*2=138.00A1A3 Hawk 3 response: Value is 138.00 and alarm 1 and alarm

3 are tripped.

#02RD75 Read unit with address 02, long response, the checksum

is 75.

*2=138.00A1A3C7 Unit address 02 response, value is 138.00, alarm 1 and

alarm 3 are tripped with C7 as the checksum.

$02SP1+12.000 Configure setpoint 1 to 12.000.
