3.0 Features

The POWER rack hardware or can be used as a bench top unit. The POWER character, vacuum fluorescent display (VFD). The display emulates a liquid crystal display in its command structure but the VFD gives the unit a greater viewing angle and better visibility than available with most conventional LED or LCD displays. The display can be set to four different brightness levels. Use a lower brightness setting to extend the already long expected life time of the display. Use brighter settings for viewing areas where ambient light may be too bright or cause glare, or where greater viewing distances are required.

Most features are accessible via the membrane keys on the front panel. Consult the section on each function to check its availability. Operators are guided through the many features and options by selecting their choices from an intuitive menu structure.

POWER SELECTION

Power input is switchable between 100 VAC, 115 VAC and 230VAC (50 or 60 Hz) via the rear panel. For the safety of the operator as well as the device, the correct power level should be selected prior to connecting to the power mains. See the table “POWERPOD-400 Specifications” in section 3.0 for the proper fusing when changing power settings.

RATIO CONTROL Ratio control is possible between channels using a familiar master/slave configuration. Channel one (1) must be enabled as the master channel. Any combination of the remaining channels is possible for slave channel assignment.

TOTALIZER A Totalizer function is present for each channel with the capability of counting down from a set point, counting up to a set point or continuous count up. The maximum count is ±999999 units. When the set points are reached, a memory flag for each set point is set to a digital ‘1’ indicating a Boolean ‘true’ value. The Totalizer set point flags must be polled via digital communication to be read. Each flow channel has one low-limit and one high-limit set point available. These alarms are available via open-collector, opto-isolated outputs on the rear panel as well as serial communication.

POWER OUTAGES AND THE OVERRIDE CONDITION

In the event of a power outage, even one of short duration, the POWER

POD

-400 is

designed to conduct a software reset. During the period of time in which the reset is occurring, it will not accept or respond to any commands either manually or digitally until the reset process is completed. After said reset, the POWER

POD

-400 will have

remembered all previously entered set-points but all channels are designed to come up in the “Override-CLOSEd” condition. For meters, this should have no affect on their behavior. All analog-only, THI, flow controllers with normally-closed (NC) valves will close and remain closed until operator intervention manually returns selected channels’ Override condition back to the AUTO mode.

For all other controllers, this means that the control signal (pins 5 to 14) of J1 through J4 will return to the previously set level. For controllers not taking advantage of the Override function (pin 8), these controllers will return to their normal, preset operating condition unless other intermediary steps are undertaken. Controllers that are making use of the override function (Pin 8) and have normally-open valves will be driven to the fully open condition.

8.7. SETTING A CHANNEL TO DISPLAY THE TOTALIZER FUNCTION

The POWERPOD-400 provides an integrated (Riemann Sum) value of the incoming signal for each channel.

)**(

fCfT∑= , where:

Each channel samples the incoming signal at a rate corresponding to the preset A/D conversion rate in Hz. At each sampling interval, the TOTALIZER function multiplies the average signal, as a fraction of the full-scale value (5v, 10v or 20 mA), times the span, or cal, value. This results in a rate for that interval. Next, a time element factor is determined according to the flow rate programmed for that channel as follows.

For a time element of seconds, the factor is 1/10. For minutes, the factor is 1/600. Hours use a factor of 1/36000.

Each calculation is summed and stored for a TOTAL value.

Example (See Graph):

A linear flow transducer with a DC output of 0 to 5 volts is calibrated for a maximum flow of 25 SLH. The transducer is connected to one channel of a POWER volts input and has been programmed to display rate in SLH. The transducer is sending a constant 1.000volt signal to the POWERPOD-400. What is the total flow after 40 minutes?

During one sampling interval, the TOTALIZER reads the one-volt signal and calculates the fraction of the possible full-scale value.

1 volt/5 volts or 0.20

The fractional signal value is multiplied times the CAL value

1/5 * 25 = 5

Then, because the channel’s programmed rate is in SLH (standard liters per hour), a factor of 1/3600 is applied to the result.

5 * 1/36000 = 1.389 x 10^-4 standard liters per sampling interval.

A constant signal received over a 40 minute time period would amount to 40 minutes * 60 seconds * 10 samples per second = 24000 samples. The TOTAL would be

2.400 E03 * 1.389 E-04 = 3 1/3 Std Liters.

If no rate is programmed on that channel, The TOTALIZER function is disabled for that channel and the display returns to its regular metering configuration.

10.8. CALIBRATING A CHANNEL TO ITS INCOMING SIGNALS

The POWER

POD

-400 is designed to accept the input from almost any transducer that operates in the

ranges of zero to five volts, zero to ten volts or four to twenty milliamps. In most cases, transducers are capable of having their minimum signal and maximum signal adjusted to correspond with the minimum (ZERO) and maximum (SPAN) unit-of-measure that they are designed to reflect.

For example:

A transducer designed to output 0 volts while reading a temperature of 0 degrees centigrade and output 5

POD

volts while reading 100 degrees centigrade is connected to channel one of the POWER

-400.

In actuality, the transducer is sending -0.23 volts at 0 degrees and 5.11 volts at 100 degrees. By zeroing

POD

channel one of the POWER

-400 while reading the low signal from the transducer, the display will be

000.0 when the temperature is 0°C. Like wise, by setting the CAL value to 100.0 while reading the 5.11 volt signal causes the POWER

POD

-400 to display 100.0 when the temperature is actually 100°C.

This procedure will not account for any non-linearity in any transducer’s output. That is, the accuracy/calibration of any transducer must be independently set, checked and verified before connecting to the POWER

POD

-400, or, the transducer/ POWER

POD

-400 combination must be

calibrated together as a system, if the accuracy of the whole system is to be known.

10.8.1. Resetting the Zero Only

While the SETUP/CAL menu is being displayed and after making a selection from the CHANNEL SELECT menu, select CALIBRATE by pressing the number 7 key followed by ENTER, then choose ZERO ONLY by pressing the number 1 key and ENTER. The ZERO menu will be displayed which also

displays the selected channel number and the signal being received. If this signal is an acceptable signal for zero, press the ENTER key to accept it. If the indicated signal is not an acceptable level for reading zero, the operator has an opportunity at this stage to correct any problems while reading the incoming signal before pressing the ENTER key and accepting it. Alternatively, the operator can press ESC to exit the SETUP/CAL mode and return to it later. After accepting the displayed signal level as the zero point, the display returns to its previously programmed settings. See Appendix D.

10.8.2. Resetting the Span Only

After selecting a channel in the CHANNEL SELECT portion of the SETUP/CAL menu, press 7 + ENTER to select CALIBRATE. SPAN ONLY is selected by pressing number 3 + ENTER. The SPAN window is displayed which contains the chosen channel and the incoming signal on that channel.

If the displayed signal is an acceptable full range value, press ENTER to accept it. The previously programmed display returns with the selected channel now displaying the CAL’d value. If the incoming

164-122012 Power

POD

400 Page 26 of 42

Page 27

signal is not an acceptable full range value, the operator has an opportunity to correct any problems at this stage prior to pressing ENTER. Alternatively, the operator can press ESC to exit SETUP/CAL and return later. See Appendix D.

10.8.3. Resetting Zero and Span

Should it be required to zero and set a new span value for a given channel, The menu option is provided that will present the programmer with the zero menu first, followed by the span, or cal, menu. After selecting a channel in the CHANNEL SELECT portion of the SETUP/CAL menu, press the number 7 key to select CALIBRATE. ZERO & SPAN is selected by pressing the number 2 key. The ZERO window is displayed first. It contains the chosen channel and the incoming signal on that channel. If the signal displayed is within an acceptable range for zero, Press the ENTER key to accept this signal as representing a display of zero while monitoring the transducer. If this signal is not appropriate, the user may correct the problem while the window is displayed or press the ESC key and come back at a later time to zero and span.

After setting the zero of the power supply, the SPAN menu window is displayed. If the displayed signal is an acceptable full range value, press ENTER to accept it. The previously programmed display returns with the selected channel now displaying the CAL’d value. If the incoming signal is not an acceptable full range value, the operator try to correct any problems at this stage prior to pressing ENTER or, by pressing the ESC key, they can exit SETUP/CAL and return to perform this procedure at a later date. See Appendix D.

10.8.4. Setting a Multiplication Factor

For convenience, it is possible to leave a channel setup one way and merely multiply the display value by some factor and replace the display with the new value. An example might be to set up a channel to read from zero to one hundred percent and use a multiplication factor to make the display read from zero to 500 SCCM. An infinite number of possibilities are possible.

Once a channel in the CHANNEL SELECT portion of the SETUP/CAL menu has been selected, press the number 7 key to select CALIBRATE. From the CALIBRATE menu, choose MULTIPLIER by pressing the number 4 key. While the MULTIPLIER window is in the display, enter the multiplication factor and press ENTER. The display returns to normal with the selected channel now displaying the product of the normally displayed value and the entered factor.

-400 is wired properly, the unit

must be set up following the instructions in the section entitled, External Communications Setup.

POD

The instruction set for the POWER

-400 can be divided into two different types. They differ only in

that they

1. Write a command only or

2. Write a command and read a response.

Taking liberty with this vernacular, they may be differentiated using the terms COMMAND or QUERY. The entire set of instructions can be found in Appendix B.

10.9.1. Commands

Typical RS-232 command structure is as follows: CMNDn<value>Cr

For example: To change channel three’s high alarm value to 75.00, send A3H075.00Cr.

RS-485 commands require only that an asterisk and the unit’s address precede the RS-232 Command. Using the same example as above with a unit whose address is 10 (default), send *10A3H075.00Cr.

POD

10.9.2. Set Point Queries

Queries are used when information from the unit is required. Each query is followed by a response from the POWERPOD-400.

In this case, the query is asking for a programmed value. Specifically, the set point of channel three, which happens to be set at 50.00 of 100.00.

Sent SP3Cr Response SP3 050.00

10.9.3. Alarm/Flag Queries

The state of the high and low flow alarms for each channel can be monitored via the DB-15 connecter (J8) on the rear panel for immediate action from an alarm situation but the Totalizer set points can only be monitored by reading a memory location’s Boolean setting via serial communication.

As shown in the section, Setting Limit Alarms, to simply QUERY channel three’s high alarm set point, send A3HCr. Expect a response similar to A3H 075.00. The actual state of the alarm can be polled using the STATUS query.

STCr

Which results in a response similar to

STATUS

OCA : CH1 AUTO CH2 CLOSED CH3 OPEN CH4 AUTO

HI/LO: 0/0 0/1 1/0 0/0

OCA is short for OPEN/CLOSED/AUTO.

HI/LO stands for the high flow limit alarm or the low flow limit alarm. One must parse the states if digital tests are to be conducted.

164-122012 Power

POD

400 Page 28 of 42

Page 29

To query the status of the totalizer flag on channel four (4), use the following command.

TF4Cr

The response will be either TF4 0 corresponding to a Boolean ‘FALSE’ indication that the totalizer flag has not been set, or TF4 1, a Boolean ‘TRUE’, indicating that the total is equal to or beyond the totalizer set point..

D41Cr command tells channel four (4) to display the TOTAL. It is not necessary that the front panel read the total for the TOTALIZER to work. The Totalizer works in the background no matter what mode the display is in.

NOTE: It must be emphasized that, if the total reaches the maximum of the display (±999999), the unit effectively stops counting.

All procedures outlined in this document must be performed with the power supply turned on and warmed up for at least one hour.

All procedures outlined in this document must be performed with NO transducers connected to the channel being adjusted*.

You CANNOT successfully zero a channel without, first, supplying zero volts or four milliamps to the meter input for that channel.

You CANNOT successfully span a channel without, first, supplying the meter input for that channel with its appropriate span voltage or span current.

14.1 Zeroing Unit (Voltage Range).

The following instructions explain how to short a given channel’s input signal to ground (0 volts DC) and set the display to read zero at this voltage.

Locate the 15-pin, ‘D’ type connector that corresponds to the channel to be zeroed.

Short pin 5 (signal common) to pin 6 (signal in).

Press MODE Press 3 Press ENTER Press 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on which channel is to be zeroed. Press ENTER Press 7 Press ENTER Press 1 Press ENTER Press ENTER again

You have just told a channel to display zero when the input signal is zero volts

4mAmp signal to a channel’s input and set the display to read zero at this current level.

Disconnect all connectors from the channel to be calibrated. Insure that the channel is set to read 4 to 20 mA signals by performing the following steps. Press MODE Press 3 Press ENTER Press 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on which channel is to be zeroed. Press ENTER Press 4 Press ENTER Press 3 Press ENTER The normal display returns and will respond in the 4 to 20 mA mode.

Connect a milliamp meter between pins 14 and 6 on the 15-pin ‘D’ connector corresponding to the channel to be calibrated.

J1 = Channel 1 J2 = Channel 2 J3 = Channel 3 J4 = Channel 4

Set the command for the selected channel to zero. Press the CHANNEL # button Press 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on which channel is to be zeroed. Press 0.0 using the numbered key pad Press ENTER The milliamp meter should be reading between 3.996 and 4.004 mAmps.

To Zero the meter with a signal of 4mA, perform the following steps. Press MODE Press 3 Press ENTER Press 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on which channel is to be zeroed. Press ENTER Press 7 Press ENTER Press 1 Press ENTER Press ENTER again

14.3 Spanning Unit.

The following instructions explain how to use the POWER

POD

-400 command signal to supply a given

channel’s input with the proper span voltage and to set the display to read a transducer’s span value.

You must know four things prior to setting the display’s span value:

1. You must know the maximum signal level for the specific transducer connected to the

channel to be spanned (5 VDC, 10VDC or 20mA).

2. You must know the maximum value to be displayed when the maximum signal level for the

transducer is connected to the channel to be spanned.

3. You must insure that the channel’s multiplier is set to 1.0000.

4. You must know the channel’s ‘Span Value’. That is, the value that would NOW be

displayed (prior to any adjustment) if the maximum signal was fed into the input of the channel to be adjusted.

1 and 2. If this information is not on the transducer itself, consult the manufacturer of the transducer. Their literature or other documentation should specify the maximum output signal from the transducer and the maximum value to be displayed at that signal level.

3. Setting the MULTIPLIER to 1.0000.

Press MODE Press 3 Press ENTER Press 1, 2, 3 or 4 depending on which channel is to be adjusted. Press ENTER Press 7 Press ENTER Press 4 Press ENTER Press 1.0000 using the numeric key pad. Press ENTER

You have just set a channel’s multiplier to 1.0000.

4. If you do not know what the selected channel’s maximum display (Span) value is currently set

to, follow these steps.

Notice that the last step in this exercise is to press ESC, not ENTER.

Press MODE Press 3 Press ENTER Press 1

, 2, 3 or 4 depending on which channel is to be adjusted. Press ENTER Press 7 Press ENTER Press 3 Press ENTER Read the VALUE from the display.

In the example listed above, you would have selected option number 1 for the 0 – 5 volt analog signal level since the maximum signal from the transducer is 5 VDC.

You have just set the analog operating level (range) for the selected channel.

Setting the display to read the maximum transducer value at the maximum transducer input.

Locate the 15-pin, ‘D’ type connector that corresponds to the channel to be spanned.

J1 = Channel 1 J2 = Channel 2 J3 = Channel 3 J4 = Channel 4

For units set to meter a voltage range, short pin 14 (command out) to pin 6 (signal in) of the selected channel and place a calibrated volt meter to read from pin 5 (common) to pin 6. For units set to read a 4 to 20 mA range, connect a milliamp meter between pins 14 and 6. Press the CHANNEL # key corresponding to the selected channel. An asterisk (*) appears. Use the number keys to enter THPS-400 current span value. Use the decimal! Press ENTER

Adjust the command to achieve a value as close to the max analog signal level as possible (±0.01 volts for the 5 volt range, ±0.02 volts for the 10 volt range and ±0.004 ampsfor the milliamp range.

Do this using the CHANNEL# key, the numeric key pad and the ENTER key until the desired

signal is established

. Press MODE Press 3 Press ENTER Press 1, 2, 3 or 4 depending on which channel is to be adjusted. Press ENTER Press 3 Press ENTER Use the numeric keys to enter the new SPAN value (Max transducer value to be displayed). Press ENTER Press ENTER

Congratulations! You have just calibrated your Power

Pod

-400 to read zero at zero volts and the transducer’s max

display value at the transducer’s max signal input.

The only thing left to do is to insure that your transducer is calibrated and that it is wired correctly to the Power

Pod

-400.

* Individual channels may be calibrated with calibrated transducers connected, breakout

connectors (not supplied) and precision multi-meters with NIST traceable calibrations (also not supplied). Such procedures are not covered in this document.

! If the calibration for the channel just zeroed had been severely compromised prior to beginning

this procedure, zero may not be immediately displayed and you may have to repeat the procedure after resetting the span. Check that the span has been set correctly!

# If a signal level within .1% of the maximum DC voltage level is not attainable, the power supply

may need to be repaired.
