Chapter 1 Explanation of Functions

1.1 System Overview

MW100 Data Acquisition Unit

The MW100 Data Acquisition Unit consists of a main module equipped with an Ethernet
port, I/O modules for input and output of signals (these are the same as those for the
MX100 Data Acquisition Unit), and a base plate on which the first two items are mounted.
The main module comes with an HTTP server function, allowing users to easily enter
settings, acquire data, and monitor measured data from a PC using a browser. The
main module also comes with a Modbus/TCP function that allows multiple units to be
connected.

System Configuration

The MW100 Data Acquisition Unit can be flexibly configured for a variety of measuring
environments such as a small-scale system that acquires data on site in a standalone
configuration or a system that allows data acquisition of up to 360 channels using the
Modbus/TCP function.

One-to-one Connection with a PC

This is an example of a system for small scale logging, setting the IP address, and other
tasks.

Input/Output Modules

The main module is equipped with power supply connectors, a power switch, Ethernet
ports, and other devices facilitating supply of power to and control of the input/output
modules, and connection to networks.
It also has Start and Stop keys, meaning that since data can be saved to a CF card, data
can be acquired offline. Data acquisition via serial communication is also possible by
adding the RS-232 or RS-422A/485 serial communication option.

The following thirteen types of modules are available. A screw terminal plate and
separately installed screw terminal block (both sold separately) are available as
accessories for the 10-CH, Medium Speed Universal Input Module, the 10-CH, Pulse
Input Module, and the 10-CH, High Speed Digital Input Module.

Operation Modes and Statuses

The MW100 has a Setting mode in which input ranges and other settings can be entered,
and a Measurement mode in which data acquisition is performed. The mode switches
depending on the measurement item of the status information.

1.3 Functions of the Main Module

Measurement

Measured data sampled at certain intervals is acquired by the various input modules.
Acquired data is stored in internal memory. During recording, acquired data is saved to
the CF card according to the settings.
In addition, if an alarm occurs or if the main module receives output commands sent from
the PC, the main module generates signal output instructions to the output modules.

Data Sampling

The relationship between the measurement interval and recording interval is as follows:
The measured, computed, or thinned data that is recorded at the recording interval is
saved to the CF card.

For saving data to the CF card, see “Saving Data to the CF Card” in this section.

Measurement Intervals

• Synchronization between modules
If set to the same measurement interval, measurements made by input modules in the

same acquisition unit are synchronized.

• Synchronization between channels
On the 4-CH, High-Speed Universal Input Module, the 10-CH, Pulse Input Module,

and the 10-CH, High-Speed Digital Input Module, measurement is synchronized
between channels.

On the 10-CH, Medium-Speed Universal Input Module, 30-CH, Medium Speed

DCV/TC/DI Input Module, Six-Channel Medium-Speed Four-Wire R

TD Resistance

Input Module, and 4-CH, Medium-Speed Strain Input Module, measurement is not

nchronized between channels since measurement occurs sequentially by channel (it

sy
can be said to be synchronized within measurement intervals).

Measurement Groups

Three measurement intervals can be set, and measurement channels can be assigned
to each interval. There is a particular order in which measurement intervals can be set to
measurement groups.

For a description of setting the measurement interval, see section 3.4, “Setting Acquisition

Conditions for Measured/Computed Data.”

A first-order lag filter is available. You can select a time constant (time until 63.2% of
the output value is reached) corresponding to the measurement interval indicated in the
equation below.
T

ime constant = measurement interval × N (where N = 5, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, or 100)

Acquisition Unit.”

1.3 Functions of the Main Module

Differential computation between channels and linear scaling are possible. Linear scaling
converts the measured values for a specific purpose (scaled values) using the following
equation.

MATH Types Notation

Differential computation between channels Delta
Linear scaling Scale

Note that the channels included on the 10-CH Pulse Input Module are only available for
integration (TLOG.PSUM).

Expressions using measured and computed data as variables can be entered and
executed on channels dedicated for computation, and the results can be displayed and
saved. Computations are executed every measurement interval (shortest interval is 100
ms).

For details, see section 1.15, “MATH Functions (/M1 Option).”

Explanation of Functions

Report Function (/M3 Option)

You can perform statistical computations on measurement or MATH channel data
and display and save the results. The types of reports are hourly, daily, weekly, or
monthly. Reports can be created using the maximum, minimum, average, integral, and
instantaneous values from up to 60 channels.

For details on the report function, see section 1.16, “Report Function (/M3 Option).”

Remote RJC (RRJC)

When the item to be measured is located at a great distance, you can set up relay
terminals near the item, measure the temperature difference between the relay terminal
and the input terminal of the input module (reference channel) using thermocouples,
and use the resultant electromotive force as the reference junction compensation of
the temperature measurement. By connecting a copper wire between the relay terminal
and input terminal of the input module, and a thermocouple between the DUT and relay
terminal, you can measure the temperature of the DUT without the need for a large
amount of expensive thermocouples.

Burnout

IM MW100-01E

When the input mode is set to thermocouple (TC), you can set the burnout detection
behavior. Measured values become “range over” during detection.

Detection Behavior Notation

channel, “+Over” or “–Over” is displayed.
