2.5 2-6 <2. Preparation and Basic Operation> How to use the SPS24 Go to Windows [Start] – [All Programs] – [Yokogawa SENCOM PC Software] and click “SENCOM PC Software” to launch the SPS24. l First launch At first launch, the “Please set RS port” message appears. Click “OK” to close the dialog box. Confirm the sensor connection and go to [Setup] – [RS port No.] to assign the RS port number to the sensor. Toolbar Select USB RS-485 Port. Click to save. Connection information field Figure 2.
Figure 2.3 2-7 <2. Preparation and Basic Operation> Example of RS port number view (2 sensors are connected simultaneously) l Subsequent Launches (connections) Connect the SENCOM sensor first and then launch SPS24. The sensor connection is automatically detected when the program launches. The RS port number setting is retained. To connect the SENCOM sensor after the SPS24 launch, click [Connect] in the connection information field.
3-1 <3. Sensor Management> 3. Sensor Management Clicking on [Sensor management] from the toolbar will display “Current measurement readings,” which shows the measurement value of sensors connected to the PC. With this function, users can view sensor measurements, adjust sensor performance and settings, or calibrate sensors. By default, measurement targets and calibration objects are as shown in Table 3.1. Table 3.
3.2 3-2 <3. Sensor Management> [Sensor setup] Clicking on [Sensor setup] in “Current measurement readings” will display the sensor setting screen, where settings can be applied to each sensor individually. For the settings common to pH sensors, go to the pH/ORP common setting in [Setup]. This screen displays values stored in connected sensors. Changed values will be displayed in red. Click on [Synchronize] to send the new setting to SENCOM sensors.
3.3 <3. Sensor Management> 3-3 [Start calibration] Clicking on [Start calibration] in “Current measurement readings” will display the selection screen that shows sensors to be calibrated. Sensors of the same model and type can be calibrated simultaneously. When a sensor is selected, the upper part of the sensor button turns blue for identification. Before pH measurement, calibrate the pH sensor with the standard solution. Before ORP measurement, check the electrode as regular maintenance.
3-4 <3. Sensor Management> l Zero/slope1,2(3point) This calibration type is the line-segment type three-point calibration. If the relation between electromotive force and pH is not in proportion for a wide range, divide the relevant range into two sections and obtain the zero (asymmetry) and slope (sensitivity) in each section to perform calibration. Limitations • Three different buffer solutions whose difference in pH value between buffer solutions is 1 pH or more should be used.
3-5 <3. Sensor Management> Limitations • Three different buffer solutions whose difference in pH value between buffer solutions is 1 pH or more should be used. (1st buffer < 2nd buffer < 3rd buffer or 1st buffer > 2nd buffer > 3rd buffer) • The temperature difference between the 1st and 2nd buffer solutions should be 20ºC or less. • The temperature difference between the 2nd and 3rd buffer solutions should be 20ºC or less. Table 3.
4. <4. Database Viewer> 4-1 Database Viewer Clicking on [Database viewer] from the toolbar will display up-to-date information about the sensors connected to the SPS24. From this screen, the information database for sensors can be managed. Kind of sensor Tool menu Checkbox Calibration history menu File menu Figure 4.1 Example of Database Viewer screen The “Sensor” field indicates the sensor numbers of sensors currently connected to the PC.
4-2 <4. Database Viewer> l [Add ID] Add ID is available only for non-digital pH/ORP sensors. Use this function for managing data of non-digital pH/ORP sensors in the database. Register new ID data. Add or change data by clicking on fields shown in boxes and save the changes. l [Delete ID] This function deletes sensor ID data that was selected with a checkbox. Sensor ID data of any connected sensors cannot be deleted. To delete multiple data, tick on “□ Do this for all current items.
4-3 <4. Database Viewer> l [Export] Generates a backup file to save the data. Choose whether to save the entire data or individual data (select with a checkbox). Enter the file name (the default name is smart1_(yymmddhhmmss).smf) and save the file. l [Import] Imports a backup file that was generated with [Export]. Import is not required when operation is normal. Data of connected sensors cannot be imported. Select the target file and choose whether to import the entire data or individual data.
5. 5-1 <5. Error Information> Error Information When an error occurs, the color of [Error information] on the toolbar changes and an icon starts to flash. Clicking on [Error information] displays the error that is occurring in the connected sensor. The error information screen displays the error that is occurring in any connected sensors, and any error or warning for the SPS24 itself. Errors are more critical than warnings. Clicking on the error or warning information displays the actions required.
6. 6-1 <6. Setup> Setup Configures various settings. For details about setting, refer to User’s Manual of Model FLXA21 2-Wire Analyzer (IM 12A01A02-01E).
