Main Terminal Block Set-Up Power Refer to diagram 1 (right) for location of the terminals. AC Models Apply 85 – 264 VAC, 50/60 Hz between terminals 1 and 2. DC Models Apply 9 –35 VDC between terminals 1 (positive) and 2 (negative) on the main terminal block.
Panel Installation Install the DT-5TXR/DT-5TS on panel as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Confirm that the panel thickness is 0.047” - 0.197” (1.2 mm - 5 mm). Remove the two mounting adapters (provided) from the DT-5TXR/DT-5TS (diagram 2). Install a water-resistant gasket on the panel (see diagram 3 & 4). Hold the panel meter in a horizontal position, insert it into the cut-out and press against gasket (diagram 5). Replace the two mounting adapters (diagram 6).
Operation Mode Operation Selection Depending upon the type of application, the DT-5TXR/DT-5TS offers different modes of operation; these modes and their functions are: MODE -01-02-03-04-99- FUNCTION RPM or rate measurements Elapsed time measuring / monitoring Process time measurement Flow rate measurement (used only in Japanese market) Self-test (see “Self-Test” section under “Set-Up”) Select the mode of operation as follows: 1.
Mode -01- (RPM or Rate Measurement) continued Set the parameters in mode -01- as follows: 7. Press the PAR button; the display will reflect: 1. Press the PAR button; the display will indicate: The “-01- P01” on secondary display A indicates that the meter is in the RPM mode (-01-) and parameter 1 is showing on the primary display (1 ppr [factory setting]). 2. Using the NUMERIC buttons, enter the number of pulses per revolution produced by the sensor being used (1-9999).
Mode -02- (Elapsed Time Measurement/Monitoring) The following parameters must be set in mode -02- so that the DT-5TXR/DT-5TS will display the correct readings: PARAMETER DESCRIPTION 1 2 Pulses per re vol uti on Sensing R PM 3 4 5 6 RANGE FACTORY SETTING DISPLAY MEANING _ _ 0001 1 p/r _ 01000 1000 RPM 1 – 9999 U p to 99999 a)Hours, Minutes, Seconds 0 : 00 : 00 – 9 :59 : 59 Display units _ 010 : 00 b)Seconds 0 : 00 – 999 : 99 Update time 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10 , 15, 30, 60 seconds _ 1.
Mode -03- (Process Time Measurement) The following parameters must be set in mode -03- so that the DT-5TXR/DT-5TS will display the correct readings: PARAMETER SETTING RANGE 1 Hours, minutes, seconds or Hundreds of a second 2 Input signal edge 3 4 Auto zero time Filter 00:00:00 or 0:00 0 = Trailing edge 1 = Leading edge 0.1 – 3,600 seconds 10, 0.02 kHz FACTORY SETTING DISPLAY MEANING 0:00 1/100 s ec on d _ 1_ Leading edge _3600.
Setting High and Low Limits If the variation of motor speed or time measurement is important and a “range” must be monitored, then “high” and “low” visual limits can be programmed through secondary displays A and B, respectively. Instructions to set the high and low limits: 1. Use the lower buttons (1-6) to set the high limit on secondary display A. There are six digits that can be programmed and each one of these buttons corresponds with the digit position.
Setting Functions (continued) Instructions to set functions are as follows: 1. Press the FUN button; the display will indicate: NOTE: The display will always show what operating mode is set (mode -01- in this example) and what function (1) is being displayed. 2. Use the lower keys to set secondary high and low limits (follow the same instructions listed under “Setting High and Low Limits” section on page 7). 3. Press the FUN button; the display will reflect: 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Setting Examples MODE -01- (RPM or Rate Measurement) The DT-5TXR/5TS units are fully scalable, which means that RPM can be used to display linear speed in many units, i.e. ft/m, yd/m, m/m, in/m etc. Please use the following example as a guide for programming this feature. Suppose a motor drives a roller through a speed reducer and the speed of the roller is 100 RPM when the speed of the motor is 1,700 RPM (due to load, in this case the roller).
Setting Examples (continued) MODE -03This mode is used to measure the time a process takes from start to finish. An example could be a CNC machine that is programmed to make a certain part (push, bend, drill and stop). Need to know how much time it takes from start to finish so that future plans can be made when time comes to make several pieces of the same part. This requires a timer to be able to start counting then stop and display the actual process time.
Modules Available for DT-5TXR A variety of modules are available to provide an array of output and input options when using the DT-5TXR. Most of the modules have either a “T” or “C” suffix in the part number. The “T” indicates that the module’s communication is wired through the terminal; the “C” indicates that the module’s communication is wired through a 36 pin connector (see “Rear Panel and Terminals”, top of page 5).
DT-5TXR with DOP-TRTR Module DT-5TXR-TRTR The DT-5TXR panel meter with the DOP-TRTR module provides two high set points (limits) and two low set points in addition to the normal GO signal output. The module have an additional ZERO speed signal output feature which is very useful in many applications. Connect proper voltage (AC or DC depending on model) between pin 1 and 2 and set your mode, parameters etc.
DT-5TXR-FVTR/DT-5TXR-FVC (continued) Instructions to set the analog output characteristics are as follows: 1. Press the FUN button eleven times; the display will reflect: 5. Press the FUN button again; the display indicates: The display shows that the maximum RPM is set for 1,000 (factory setting). 2. Using the NUMERIC buttons, enter the maximum number of RPM to be monitored.
DT-5TXR with DOP-BCD Module DT-5TXR-BCD The model DT-5TXR-BCD combination satisfies PCs and PLCs that require a BCD (parallel) signal. The DOP-BCD module can be configured with a negative logic output (0=HI and 1=LO) or a positive logic output (0=LO and 1=HI), depending upon what the PC or PLC requires. Instructions to change the logic output are as follows: 1. Turn the input signal off. 2.
