2 Instrument Description 2.5.1 Counter Counter inputs - Binary inputs - Alarms - Errors - ... v Chapter 2.7 “Binary Signals” Counting frequency 8Hz max. Weighting Counted pulses are weighted by multiplying them by a factor. A down counter can be implemented by entering a negative weighting (e.g. weighting factor -1). 2.5.2 Integrators Integrator inputs - Analog inputs Integrator time base - sec, min, hr and day Weighting Integrators are weighted by multiplying them by a factor.
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 Max.
2 Instrument Description 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.
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.
2 Instrument Description 2.5.9 Response to instrument reconfiguration When the instrument is reconfigured, the current counter/integrator recording periods remain unaffected. The counter/integrator values will not be reset to 0 and the recording period will not be restarted. H The values can be deliberately reset, via the “Parameterization” menu. 2.5.
2 Instrument Description 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.
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().
2 Instrument Description Following are some of the variables available for formulas: - Binary inputs - Logic channels - Alarms - Errors These functions can be used for formulas: - ! & | ^ / \ ( ) H 30 (NOT) (AND) (OR) (XOR) (rising edge) (falling edge) (open bracket) (close bracket) Further information can be obtained from the instructions on the setup program (59492).
2 Instrument Description 2.7 Binary Signals Binary signals are used by the recorder, forexample to - operate a relay, - activate the Event operating mode, - start external reports and - start batch reports. Binary signals are made visible as binary traces or switch symbols and can be used as a basis for counters. The binary inputs (internal and external) are binary signals. Binary I/O The switching states of the internal binary inputs/outputs are indicated by the binary signals.
2 Instrument Description Alarms, analog inputs The alarm monitoring states of the internal analog inputs are indicated by the binary signals. Depending on the instrument hardware level, up to 18 internal analog inputs are available. There are two binary alarm signals for each analog input. v Chapter 13 “Configuration - Analog Inputs” Alarms, counters/integr. The alarm monitoring states of the counters/integrators are indicated by the binary signals. 27 counters/integrators are available.
2 Instrument Description Signal Description CF card full The signal is activated when the memory space of a CF card that has been inserted (external memory) has fallen below the selected threshold value. v Chapter 2.10 “Reading out Data” Mem.al. interface The signal is activated when the device-internal memory space available for data readout via interface has fallen below the selected threshold value. v Chapter 2.10 “Reading out Data” (Mem.al.
2 Instrument Description 2.8 Operating Modes 2.8.1 Normal, Timed, and Event Mode The operating modes are used to determine the cycle in which measurement data are stored.
2 Instrument Description Active operating mode The active operating mode is shown in the diagram by different symbols behind the current display for the diagram speed: Operating mode Symbol Normal operation Timed mode Event mode 2.8.2 Eco mode The parameters for Eco mode are set in the menu for normal operation. However, Eco mode can be used for all three operating modes.
2 Instrument Description If the measurements go outside the tolerance band, and the new measurement, which is outside the tolerance band, is present for at least the duration of the storage cycle that was set in the active operating mode, then it is acquired and stored and a new tolerance band is applied. t2 t3 t6 t5 t1 t4 10s 10s 10s 10s 10s 10s 10s 10s 10s t t1 = storage through “Min. storage cycle” (forced storage) and application of a new tolerance band.
2 Instrument Description 2.9 Data Storage Operating principle A/D 2 A/D 1 CPU (SRAM) Internal memory 20 kB 20 kB 20 kB 20 20 kB kB External CompactFlash memory card Analog inputs Data recording Measurements are acquired continuously in a 125msec sampling cycle. Based on these measurements, reports are compiled and limits checked.
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.
2 Instrument Description 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.
2 Instrument Description Readout via interface Use the PCA Communications software PCC to read out measurement data via the serial or USB device or Ethernet interface. H Use the same archive (in the PC) for reading out data via the interface as for a readout via the CF card. This saves having to put together data from different files at a later date. v Please refer to the Operating Manual 59500 for further information. 2.
