1. TEDS IEEE 1451.4 INTRODUCTION

The DPM-3 is a TEDS IEEE 1451.4 Plug and Play Smart Load Cell Meter. TEDS, or
Transducer Electronic Data Sheet, is a set of electronic data in a standardized format
defined within the IEEE 1451.4 standard. Stored in an EEPROM, this data specifies what
type of sensor is present, describes its interface, and gives technical information such as
sensitivity, bridge type, excitation, etc.

The DPM-3 automatically detects when a TEDS IEEE 1451.4 compliant Load Cell / Torque
Sensor has been connected to it by using a built-in EEPROM detector. Once such a sensor
has been detected, the DPM-3 displays a front panel TEDS indicator light, reads the
EEPROM, stores the information in memory, and performs an automatic configuration. The
built-in, sensor-related EEPROM may be of any of the following types: DS1973/DS2433,
DS2431 or DS1971/DS2430A. The automatic system configuration function performs all
steps needed to calibrate the TEDS IEEE 1451.4 compliant Load Cell / Torque Sensor and
DPM-3 as a system. This includes the configured precision of 32 bits, 19 bits or 11 bits and
the configured excitation voltage. Using the DPM-3 with a TEDS IEEE 1451.4 compliant
Load Cell / Torque Sensor is as easy as plugging a mouse into a computer, making it a true
plug and play experience.

The DPM-3 is safety certified to UL 61010-1 and to CSA C22.2#61010-1. It carries the ETL
certification mark for the USA and Canada.

2. GENERAL INTRODUCTION

DPM-3 digital panel meters are a versatile, cost-effective solution to a wide variety of
monitoring and control applications. They are easily set up to produce an accurate display
of weight, load or direct reading of microvolts. Setup can be via front panel pushbuttons or
the meter’s serial interface. Digital scaling of zero and span provides direct readout in engi­neering units. Digital calibration of all ranges eliminates drift associated with potentiometers
found in non-microcomputer-based meters. Selective security lockout of the front panel keys
protects against accidental changes to the meter setup.

A unique method of analog-to-digital conversion provides 60 conversions per second (50 for
50 Hz operation), while integrating the signal over a full line cycle for maximum noise
rejection. Self-calibration cycles reduce the average reading rate to 56 per second (47 for
50 Hz). This fast read rate provides an accurate display of peak signal input and quick
response in control applications.

An adaptive auto-filter automatically selects a time constant appropriate for the encountered
signal noise level. This ensures stable displayed readings and outputs while responding
rapidly to changes of the input signal that exceed a selected threshold value. Input signal
polarity may be selected as normal or reverse.

The DPM-3 uses a lightweight, high-efficiency switching power supply that operates from
either AC or DC voltages and complies with safety regulations. The meter can be powered
worldwide without changes to the supply. An optional low voltage supply operates on 10 to
48 Vdc from batteries or 12 to 32 Vac from sources such as 400 Hz aircraft power. Both
supplies have an isolated 10 Vdc excitation supply to power transducers.

- 3 -

The NEMA-4 (IP65) 1/8 DIN case is made of high impact 94V-0 UL-rated plastic. Mounting
is from the front of the panel and requires less than 110 mm behind the panel. All wiring is
by removable plugs conforming to UL61010C safety standards. All output options are
isolated from meter and power ground by 250 Vac minimum.

Alarm or setpoint control is provided by an optional relay board with two or four Form C 8A
mechanical relays or two or four Form A 120 mA solid state relays. The setpoints may be
latching or non-latching, be energized above or below the setpoint, or operate in a fail-safe
mode. The relays can operate from the filtered signal to reduce relay chatter or from the
unfiltered signal for fastest response. Snubber circuits and a programmable relay switching
time delay extend relay contact life.

An isolated analog output of 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA, 0-10V or -10 to +10V can be provided by an
optional analog output board. The output is linearized to the display and can operate from
the filtered or unfiltered signal input. It can be scaled via front panel pushbuttons or the
meter’s serial interface.

Optional RS232, RS485, or USB serial interfaces allow the DPM-3 to communicate bidirec­tionally with computers, PLC’s or other digital devices. An optional USB-to-RS485 converter
board allows a primary DPM-3 to be interfaced to a computer and to be the device server for
a network of up to 31 other DPM-3’s on an RS485 bus, while itself retaining all capabilities
of a meter.

Windows-based software is available from Transducer Techniques to program our meter
and transmitters via a PC using the serial interface. This software can be downloaded at no
charge from www.transducertechniques.com/online-manuals.aspx. Please see Section 19
for details.

REMOVING THE REAR PANEL

First remove any connectors. Use one hand to press in the two sides of the rear of the
case, and the other hand to press down the two protruding tab releases at the top of the
rear panel (see figure below). This will unhook the rear panel from the case.

REMOVING THE ELECTRONICS

With the rear panel removed, grasp the power supply board to the left and signal condi­tioner board to the right, and carefully slide the electronic assembly out through the rear of
the case (see figure below).

INSTALLING NEW OPTION BOARDS

Options boards plug into the main board at the front of the meter. These are plug-and-play
and may installed in the field. They will be recognized by the software, which will provide
access to the menu items associated with that board. If necessary, remove rear panel
knockouts for new boards. Boards plug into connectors as follows:

electrical lines. When an option board is correctly installed, the top and bottom edges of
the main board and option board are aligned.

REASSEMBLING YOUR METER

Slide the electronics assembly into the case until the display board is seated flush against
the front overlay. Insert the bottom tabs of the rear panel into the case, then carefully align
the board connectors with the openings in the rear panel. If necessary, remove any rear
panel knockouts for new option boards that may have been installed. Ensure that all option
boards are properly aligned with the molded board retaining pins on the inside of the rear
panel. With the rear panel in place, reinstall the input/output screw clamp terminal plugs.

PANEL MOUNTING

Ensure that the panel mounted gasket is in place against the back of the bezel. Turn the
two mounting screws counterclockwise until the space between the mounting pawl and the
rear of the gasket is greater than the panel thickness. Insert the meter in the panel cutout.

CALIBRATION INDICATORS

The following two indicators are active when the Calibration indicators are enabled by the

tArE menu item:

1. INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION INDICATOR

Flashing indicates either that the instrument is due for calibration or will be due in less
than 30 days. On steady when instrument is past due for calibration. Stops flashing when
acknowledged from the front panel by selecting the CALrt menu item and changing the
first digit from a 1 to a 0.

2. SENSOR CALIBRATION INDICATOR

Active when a TEDS Plug-and-Play Sensor is detected in Plug-and-Play mode, other­wise stays dark. Flashing indicates either that the sensor is due for calibration or will be
due in less than 30 days. Stops flashing when acknowledged from the front panel by
selecting the CALrt menu item and changing the second digit from a 1 to a 0. Once
acknowledged, it is on steady when the TEDS Plug-and-Play sensor is past due for
calibration.

FRONT PANEL KEYS

There are four front panel keys, which change function for the Run Mode and Menu Mode,
effectively becoming eight keys. The keys are labeled with alphanumeric captions (MENU,

PEAK, RESET, ALARMS) for the Run Mode and with symbols ( Menu, Digit select,

Value select, Reverse menu) for the Menu Mode.

- 10 -

KEYS IN MENU MODE

In the Menu Mode, pressing a key momentarily advances to the next menu item. Holding
down a key automatically advances through multiple menu items for fast menu navigation.

(Menu). Pressing MENU steps the meter through all menu items that have been
enabled and then back to the Run Mode. With the DC signal conditioner board and no
option boards, available menu items are _InPut, SEtuP, ConFG, _FiLtr, dEc.Pt, Lo in,

Lo rd, Hi in, Hi rd, tArE, Loc 1, Loc 2, Loc 3, Loc 4 . If a change has been made to a

menu item, that change is saved to non-volatile memory when the MENU key is
pressed next, and StorE is displayed briefly.

(Digit Select). Pressing digit select from the InPut menu brings up all meter functions
available with the meter's signal conditioner. For the Load cell signal conditioner, these
are, Strn and _dC u.

Pressing digit select from the SEtuP, ConfFG, FiLtr, Lo in, Lo rd, Hi in, Hi rd, tArE,

Loc 1, Loc 2 or Loc 3 menus items sequentially selects digit positions 1 - 5, as
indicated by a flashing digit: 00000, 00000, 00000, 00000, 00000.

(Value Select). Pressing value select for a flashing item (digit position or decimal point
position) will increment that item. Pressing MENU will save any changes.

(Reverse Menu). Pressing has the same effect as the MENU key, except that menu
items are brought up in reverse order.

KEYS IN RUN MODE

MENU Key. Pressing MENU from the Run Mode enters the Menu Mode. Pressing

MENU repeatedly will step the meter through the various menu items (if these have not
been locked out) and then back to the Run Mode.

PEAK Key. Pressing PEAK normally causes the peak value of the input signal to be
displayed. The peak display then blinks to differentiate it from the normal present value
display. Pressing PEAK again returns the display to the present value. The PEAK key
can also be programmed to display Valley, alternating Peak or Valley, or to Tare the
reading to zero. When Peak or Valley is selected, periodic horizontal bars at the top of
the display indicate Peak, and periodic horizontal bars at the bottom indicate Valley.

RESET/TARE Key. Pressing RESET with PEAK resets peak and valley values.
Pressing RESET with ALARMS resets latched alarms. Pressing RESET with MENU
performs a meter reset (same as power on). Meter reset can also be applied via a rear
panel connector. Pressing and releasing RESET/TARE tares the meter value to zero.

ALARMS Key. Pressing ALARMS once displays the setpoint for Alarm 1. Pressing it
again displays the setpoint for Alarm 2. Pressing it again returns to the present value.

For security reasons and ease of meter operation, any or all menu
items may be disabled or "locked out" so that they are no longer
accessible from the front panel. Each function to be disabled can be set
to "1" under menu headers Loc 1-4, while each function to be enabled
can be set to "0." Access to the menu headers Loc 1-4 can in turn be
locked out by installing a hardware jumper on the power supply board.
With the jumper installed, the operator only has access to previously
enabled menu items, not to the menu headers Loc 1-4 and hence not to
the menu items below. With the jumper removed, the operator has
access to menu headers Loc 1-4 and hence to the menu items below.

SETTING HARDWARE LOCKOUT JUMPER

To access the lockout jumper, remove the rear
panel per Section 6 and locate jumper “a” in the
lower portion of the power supply board next to the
input connectors (see figure above).

SETTING SOFTWARE LOCKOUTS

When setting up the meter, it may be necessary to
enable specific menu items by setting the corres­ponding lockout digit to 0. Be sure to reset the
lockout digit to "1" if you do not want the menu item
to be changed by an operator.

Loc 1 Loc 2 Loc 3 Loc 4

Press the MENU key until Loc 1, Loc 2 Loc 3 or Loc
4 is displayed. Note: Hardware lockout jumper “a”

must be removed (see above).

9. TEDS SIGNAL CONDITIONER IN TEDS MODE

9.1 INTRODUCTION

The DPM-3 is a TEDS IEEE 1451.4 Plug and Play Smart Load Cell Meter. TEDS, or
Transducer Electronic Data Sheet, is a set of electronic data in a standardized format
defined within the IEEE 1451.4 standard that is stored in an EEPROM. This data specifies
what type of sensor is present, describes its interface, and gives technical information such
as sensitivity, bridge type, excitation, etc. The DPM-3 will automatically detect when a
TEDS IEEE 1451.4 compliant Load Cell / Torque Sensor is connected to it, each and every
time, by a built in EEPROM detector. Once a TEDS Sensor has been detected, the DPM-3
displays a front panel TEDS indicator light, reads the EEPROM and stores the information
in memory and performs an automatic configuration. The automatic system configuration
function performs all steps needed to calibrate the TEDS IEEE 1451.4 compliant Load Cell
/ Torque Sensor and DPM-3 as a system, including selecting the correct sensor excitation.
Using the DPM-3 with a TEDS IEEE 1451.4 compliant Load Cell / Torque Sensor is as
easy as plugging a mouse into a computer, making it a true plug and play experience.

9.2 SCALING
When a DPM-3 connected to a TEDS transducer is powered on, the meter reads the data

stored in the transducer. The excitation supply is automatically set to the correct value and
the DPM-3 calculates the correct scaling to calibrate the meter and the transducer as a
system. The jumper on the signal conditioner board must be set for the 50 mV range. See
Section 13.1. If the Maximum Physical Value of the TEDS sensor exceeds 100,000, the
calculated scale and offset are divided by 10 and the reading is in 10's of units.

If the full scale of the transducer is 50 pounds, the meter will display 50 at full scale output.
If more resolution is desired, the meter decimal point can be set so that the meter will read

50.0, 50.00, or 50.000. In this example, if another unit of measure, such as kilograms, is
desired, there are two alternatives.

If the meter has a serial communication board installed, TEDS Reader_Editor software
can be used (see Section 24 "Accessories" for information). The electronic data sheet for
your transducer can then be read electronically and be displayed on a computer screen.
The values can be modified (e.g., to display kilograms instead of pounds), and then written
back to the transducer.

The meter Menu item "Tare," digits 4 and 5, can be set to 1 to configure the meter as a
non-TEDS transducer type.

9.3 Error Messages
If there is a problem with the TEDS connection between the meter and the TEDS trans-

ducer, one of the following error messages will be displayed at power on or when plugging
in a TEDS transducer while the power is on:

Err 1 - TEDS data line shorted
Err 2 - No Presence pulse from TEDS
Err 3 - Improper Presence pulse width
Err 4 - TEDS family code in ROM in error
Err 5 - TEDS checksum error in the first or second 32 bytes
