The terms counter and integrators encompass the following elements:
-Counter
- Integrators
- Operating time counter
- High-speed counter (hardware counter)
- Flow rate quantity

example
- Analog inputs

can be implemented by entering a negative weighting (e.g. a weighting factor
of -1).

corresponds to a flow rate of 0 … 1000 liters/sec
Minimum size
of the input
signal
-Time base 1sec
- Weighting 0.001 (conversion from liters to m³)
- Display of the integration value (flow rate quantity) in m³
This type of flow measurement is based on an analog input. Fast
binary inputs offer another possibility (high-speed counters).
v Chapter 2.5.5 “Flow rate quantity”
Entering a threshold (amount of the threshold value) has the effect that
integration takes place only when the value has been exceeded. No
integration will occur on falling below this value. The advantage of integration
with a threshold value larger than 0 is that possible noise from a transducer
can be suppressed in this way.
23
2 Instrument Description
2.5.3 Operating time counter
The operating time counter will count how long a selected binary input or one
of the binary signals is closed. The time can be displayed in sec, min, hr and
days.
2.5.4 High-speed counters
Counter inputs The first two binary inputs of each module (B1, B2, B9, B10, B17, B18) can be
counted. Binary inputs are available if the module is fitted with 3 analog inputs
and 8 binary inputs.
Counting
frequency
Weighting Counted pulses can be weighted (by multiplying them by a factor). A down
Max. 10kHz
counter can be implemented by entering a negative weighting (e.g. weighting
factor -1).
2.5.5 Flow rate quantity
This makes used of the options of existing counter function to determine flow
rate quantities with the high-speed counters over the assigned time intervals
(the "pulses within the time base" are multiplied by the "weighting").
The flow rate quantity only appears on the paperless recorder.
It is not saved.
Counter inputs The first two binary inputs of each module (high-speed counters B1, B2, B9,
B10, B17, B18) can be used to measure the flow rate quantity (pulse counting).
Binary inputs are available if the module is fitted with 3 analog inputs and 8
binary inputs.
Time base sec, min, hr and day
The time base defines the duration for which pulses will be counted (gate time)
and the display interval of the flow rate quantity.
Counting
frequency
Weighting Counting pulses can be weighted (by multiplying them by a factor). A down
Max. 10kHz
counter can be implemented by entering a negative weighting (e.g. weighting
factor -1).
24
2.5.6 Recording period of the counts
For all counters, integrators, operating time counters, and high-speed
counters, the counters are concluded and the counter states are stored and
restarted after an adjustable amount of time (recording time period). The
counter states of the most recently completed recording period can be
numerically displayed.
The following counter/integrator types are possible:
-Periodic
In addition, the time period (from 1 min to 12 hrs)must be selected in the
parameter Configuration
Period.
-External
In this case, the counter/integrator is updated only when the selected
control signal is active (e.g. binary input is closed). When the control signal
is deactivated (e.g. binary input is opened), the counter/integrator value is
saved and reset to 0.
-Daily

2 Instrument Description
2.5.7 Reset counters
Periodic reset There is a recording time period for each counter, integrator, operating time
counter and high-speed counter. At the end of this period, the current data
(value and time) are saved and the value reset to 0. Then the next time period
is recorded.
The overall and annual counters/integrators are an exception. These are saved
whenever any count/integration has been completed, but not reset to 0. This
means that they can be evaluated in the evaluation software PCA3000 as well.
External reset A control signal can be configured for all counters, integrators, operating time
counters and high-speed counters. The signal generates a reset of the counter
states to 0 without previous values being saved. The period for the summation
will be restarted at this point. This means that after the test run of an
installation, for instance, the recording can be freshly started; the test run

2.6 Math/Logic Module
The math and logic module is available as an extra. Like the counters/
integrators, the math and logic module are channels that are not available as
hardware but are calculated by the instrument software.
The math and logic module consists of two parts:
- the math module for calculating analog values and
- the logic module for linking Boolean values (0 or 1).
Math module The math module provides 18 measurement inputs for calculating new
“virtual” channels.
For the calculated channels, separate math channels are provided in addition
to the internal analog inputs. In configuration, you have to activate the required
math channel in the group configuration and thus assign it to a group.
Configuration
Setupprogram How a math channel is formed is determined through the setup program.
As variables for the formulae, the following may be available:
- Analog inputs
- Binary inputs
- Counters/integrators
-Alarms
-Errors
If counter/integrator values are used for calculation, then please note that their
accuracy is reduced, since, in this case, two different data formats will have to
be used for calculation. Counters/integrators are calculated in double-float
format (8 bytes per value), whereas the math module employs a single-float
format (4 bytes per value) according to the IEEE 754 standard. Nevertheless, it
is possible to include these values in the math module.
➔
Group x➔Analog channels ➔Channel x = Math x
28
2 Instrument Description
The following fixed functions are available:
-difference
-ratio
- relative humidity
- moving average
For the moving average, the reference channel has to be entered (in most
cases, the analog input) and the time (in minutes). They will be used to
calculate the moving average.
The following operators and functions are available for formulas: +, -, *, /, (, ),
SQRT(), MIN(), MAX(), SIN(), COS(), TAN(), **, EXP(),
ABS(), INT(), FRC(), LOG(), LN().
On going above or falling below the scalable values, the math channel is
treated as for “out-of-range”.
Formulas are entered in the PC, in the setup program. It is not possible to edit
math formulas on the instrument.
Further information can be obtained from the instructions on the
setup program (59492).
Logic module Up to 18 channels are available for the logic channels.
As is the case with all the other binary signals, the calculated digital (Boolean)
values can be used for different functions:
- recording in event traces,
- as a control signal for display switch-off,
- clock time synchronization,
- operating time counter,
- externally controlled counters/integrators
- counter/integr. reset
- event mode,
- for output to a relay and
- as count input for a counter.

2.9 Data Storage
Operating
principle
Data recording Measurements are acquired continuously in a 125msec sampling cycle. Based
on these measurements, reports are compiled and limits checked. The
measurements are transferred to the main memory of the instrument,
according to the programmable storage cycle and stored value (maximum,
minimum, average, Min&Max, momentary value or economy mode).
The paperless recorder saves the data according to groups, and the input can
be assigned to several groups (up to 9).
Main memory
(SRAM)
Internal
memory
CompactFlash
memory card
(external)
The data stored in the SRAM are regularly copied to the internal memory in
20 kbyte blocks.
When a block in main memory has been filled, it is copied to the internal
memory. Internal memory has a capacity of max 256 Mbytes. Every write
action is monitored, so that any errors in saving data can be immediately
identified. The instrument monitors the capacity of the internal memory and
activates one of the “memory alarm” signals when the capacity has fallen
below the configurable residual capacity level. These signals can be used,
forinstance, to operate the alarm relay.
This is written to as a ring memory, i.e. when the memory is full, the oldest data
will automatically be overwritten by new data.
The data from the internal memory can be shown as a history presentation on
the recorder. The size of the history memory can be configured.
If an external CompactFlash memory card (Industrial Grade) is inserted into
the paperless recorder, memory blocks are automatically written to the CF
card.
The instrument monitors the capacity of the CompactFlash card and activates
the “Memory alarm (CF card)” signal if the level falls below a configurable
residual capacity. This signals can be used, for instance, to operate a relay
(warning signal “Swap CF card”).
For recorders with a stainless steel panel (extra code) the CompactFlash memory card is not available as external memory. The measured data can be saved through one of the interfaces or through a USB flash drive (on the rear side).
37
2 Instrument Description
Data security The data are stored in coded form in a proprietary format. This ensures a high
level of data security. If the CompactFlash card is removed from the
instrument, no data will be lost immediately, as these data are still stored in the
internal memory. A loss of data will only occur if, after the CompactFlash card
has been removed, internal memory is completely rewritten as well, and no
data have been read out through the interface.
If the paperless recorder is disconnected from the supply, then:
- RAM and clock time are buffered by a lithium battery (ex-factory) for at least
10 years, with a storage capacitor for at least 2 days (ambient
temperature
-40 to +45°C),
- Measurement and configuration data in the backup memory will not be lost.
Storage cycle Different storage cycles, ranging from 125msec to 32000sec can be
configured for normal, event and timed mode under “Configuration”.
The storage cycle determines the time intervals at which the measurements
are stored.
Stored value Under this parameter, separate configurations are made for normal, event and
timed mode, to decide which value is to be stored (average, momentary,
minimum, maximum, peak values or Eco mode).
Recording
format
Recording
duration
Optimization of
recording
duration
Data are recorded encoded in a proprietary format.
The recording duration depends on various factors:
- number of analog channels and event traces being recorded
- Storage cycle (memory rate)
- number of events in the event list
The recording duration can be optimized by process-oriented selection of the
storage cycle and stored value.
In normal operation (no error, no alarm, etc.) a storage cycle that is as long as
possible (e.g. 60sec, 180sec, etc.) should be selected, depending on the
particular application.
In the event of an alarm or error, the storage cycle can be shortened via event
mode, with the effect that the measurement data are recorded with a high time
resolution.
38
2.10 Reading out Data
In addition to automatic read-out via the CompactFlash memory card,
measurement data can also be read out through one of the interfaces (RS232,
RS485, USB device, Ethernet) and with a memory stick (USB host).
The options for reading a CF card/memory stick and interface work in a
parallel manner. For this reason, there are also two “binary signals”, which
indicate when the available storage space has fallen below a certain
configurable value.

“CF card full”
If this signal is set, it means that not enough space is available on the CF card.
The PCA3000 program can help here. Data can be read into PCA3000, and
then saved to the hard disk or on a network, thus freeing up space on the CF
card. Alternatively, you can use a new CF card.

4.9 Batches/Plants
When recording batch processes, a distinction is made between the plant and
the batch.
The instrument can combine and record the data from up to 3 plants in
batches (batch report). The number of batches for a plant is not limited. The
instrument distinguishes between “current batch” and the most recently
“completed batch” for a plant. The number of plants that are used and the
texts in the batch template can be configured on the instrument or in the setup
program.

4.9.3 Batch Control with Barcode Reader
If a barcode reader is connected to the interface “RS232 for barcode reader”
(connector 2) or “RS232/RS485” (connector 7), then the batch start, batch
stop, and input of batch texts in a current batch report, can be controlled by
the barcode reader. The bar codes that are used all correspond to the type
“Code39”.
Preconditions - The interface must be configured for bar code operation.
Example:
Configuration
Protocol = bar code.
- The batch start (= batch stop) must be configured.
Example for batch start/stop:

and
- A call from the memory presentation
(Chapter 5 "Memory Presentation (History)").
Alarm lists Alarm lists contain only the alarms and errors that are currently present.
The alarm list will not be updated as long as the window is open.
Remedy: Close once, and open again. This will update the alarms.
Event lists Events list contain all the events that have occurred, including all alarms and
errors.
A maximum of 150 entries can be fitted into the two lists. The lists
will be deleted if a reconfiguration takes place.

Example Systematic errors, such as those caused by an unsuitable probe mounting, have
occurred in a plant. A probe provides measurements that cover a temperature range
from 200 to 300°C. It has been installed in a tunnel oven so unfavorably as to always
indicate 10°C less than the temperature of the charge. The incorrect measurement
can be corrected through fine calibration.

Invalid Integration is set to invalid (“---------”).
The memory alarm (warning) is triggered when the available measurement
data memory has fallen below the configured value. With regard to the
memory alarms, a distinction is made between
- “readout via CF card”,
- “readout via interface” and
- “internal memory”.
If the memory alarms are set, there is a danger of a data loss. The
data must be read out of the recorder without delay.

Data readout
via ...
Here you can determine the size of the History memory. The memory is used
to show stored measurement data that are outside the present curve view.
The History presentation is started through the History function in the header.
v Chapter 5 "Memory Presentation (History)"
The memory readout type of your choice is selected here. The parameter only
affects the header, and when there is no CF card in the slot.
Interface
This shows the available memory for reading out data
via one of the interfaces (RS232/RS485, setup interface
or Ethernet). The data readout can, forinstance, be
implemented via the PCA
Communications software PCC.
CF card
This shows the available memory for reading out data
via the CF memory card.
If the symbol is shown in red, a memory alarm for the corresponding type of
readout is present.
If the CF card is inserted, the available memory of the CF card is displayed.
The parameter “Read data via ... (Display CF capacity)” is irrelevant at this
point.
The minimum size of available storage space (in %) is determined
through the parameter Configuration
alarm. If less memory space is available than has been set, there
will be an entry in the event list.
