2.5 Counter/Integrators

These are not electrical measurement inputs (hardware), but channels which
are calculated by the paperless recorder (software).
The terms counter and integrators encompass the following elements:
- Counter
- Integrators
- Operating time counter
- High-speed counter (hardware counter)
- Flow rate quantity

22
2 Instrument Description
2.5.1 Counter

Counter inputs - Binary inputs


- Alarms
- Errors
- ...
v Chapter 2.7 "Binary Signals"

Counting 8Hz max.


frequency

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 - Analog inputs


inputs

Integrator - sec, min, hr and day


time base

Weighting Integrators are weighted by multiplying them by a factor. Negative integration


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

Weighting - Flow rate


example
- Input signal of 0 … 20mA
corresponds to a flow rate of 0 … 1000 liters/sec
- Time base 1sec
- Weighting 0.001 (conversion from liters to m³)
- Display of the integration value (flow rate quantity) in m³

H 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"

Minimum size Entering a threshold (amount of the threshold value) has the effect that
of the input integration takes place only when the value has been exceeded. No
signal 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 Max. 10kHz


frequency

Weighting Counted pulses can be weighted (by multiplying them by a factor). A down
counter can be implemented by entering a negative weighting (e.g. weighting
factor -1).

2.5.5 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").

H 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

frequency

Weighting Counting pulses can be weighted (by multiplying them by a factor). A down
counter can be implemented by entering a negative weighting (e.g. weighting
factor -1).

24
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.
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  Counters/Integrators  General settings 
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
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Yearly
- Total
- Daily (start — end)
In addition, the time period must be selected through the two parameters
Configuration  Counters/Integrators  General settings  Start and
Configuration  Counters/Integrators  General settings  End. The
counter/integrator will then only be updated from the start time. When the
end time has been reached, the counter/integrator value is saved and then
reset to 0.

25
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
values that are not required are eliminated.
v Chapter 21.1 "General Setting"
v Chapter 21.3 "Input Signal … Decimal Place"

Reset from The parameterization menu makes it possible to set counter states to a
control knob specific value. The preconditions is that a user is logged in to the device.
When the value is entered after editing, a message with the new and the old
count value is entered in the event list.
The time period for the counter/integrator summation will not be restarted. The
previous counter/integrator values will also not be saved.

H If you wish to save the previous counter/integrator values, you


must execute the function “Save all + update CF.” in the menu for
the memory manager.

In this way, the recording can be freshly started for individual counters/
integrators, e.g. after the test run of an installation; the test run values that are
not required will be eliminated in the process.

2.5.8 Response to setting the time


When the time is set, all counter states are completed and saved and, value is
reset to 0, and the recording period is restarted.

26
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.

2.5.10 Response to reconfiguration of the counters on the instrument


If a counter/integrator on the instrument is reconfigured, then only the affected
counter/integrator will be concluded, saved, reset to 0 and have the recording
period restarted.
If anything is changed through reconfiguration in the menu Configuration 
Counters/integrators  General settings, then all counters/integrators are
concluded, saved, the values reset to 0, and the recording period is restarted.

2.5.11 Response to reconfiguration of counters with setup program


If a counter/integrator is reconfigured, the setup program will conclude and
save all counter states and reset the value to 0 and the recording period is
restarted.

27
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.
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 ➔ Group x ➔ Analog channels ➔ Channel x = Math x

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.

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.

H Further information can be obtained from the instructions on the


setup program (B 706581.6).

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.

29
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:
- ! (NOT)
- & (AND)
- | (OR)
- ^ (XOR)
- / (rising edge)
- \ (falling edge)
- ( (open bracket)
- ) (close bracket)

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.

3 operating The instrument has 3 operating modes:


modes
- Normal operation
- Timed mode
- Event mode
The following settings can, among others, be made for each of the three
operating modes:
- Stored value
- Storage cycle (memory rate)

Stored value The "Stored value" parameter determines what is stored: average, minimum,
maximum or momentary value between two storage cycles, or the peak value
(envelope). With the "Peak value setting, the minimum and maximum value of
the last storage cycle will be saved.
Another option for the stored value is "Eco mode". This is a special storage
possibility, which is described separately in Chapter 2.8.2.

Storage cycle The "Storage cycle" parameter determines the interval between two stored
values. The diagram speed corresponds to the storage cycle, which means
that with a storage cycle of 5sec, for example, the stored value is entered in
the diagram every 5sec.

Normal If the instrument is not in timed or event mode, normal operation is active.
operation

Timed mode For timed mode, a period of time can be defined (up to 24 hrs) within which a
specific stored value and a specific storage cycle are active.

Event mode Event mode is activated by a control signal that is assigned to an event or
alarm. Event mode can be used, for example, to shorten the storage cycle
when an alarm is present.

Priority The respective priorities of the operating modes are allocated as follows:
Operating mode Priority
Normal Low
operation
Timed mode Medium
Event mode High

35

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.
In Eco mode, the momentary values (current values) are recorded in a
predefined minimum storage cycle (independent of the tolerance band).
Tolerance band

t1 t1

t1 = storage through “Min. storage cycle” (forced storage).

The tolerance band is specified


with regard to the unit of the
analog channels (e.g. ± 1 °C).

36
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.
t2 = no storage, since the measurement is again within the tolerance
at the end of the storage cycle (10sec).
t3 = storage and application of a new tolerance band, since the
measurement has gone outside the tolerance band at the end of
the storage cycle.
t4 = storage and application of a new tolerance band, since the
measurement has gone outside the tolerance band at the end of
the storage cycle.
t5 = storage through “Min. storage cycle” (forced storage) and
application of a new tolerance band.
t6 = no storage, since the measurement is again within the tolerance
at the end of the storage cycle (10 sec).

H Going outside the tolerance band is not necessarily recorded. If


the measurements return inside the tolerance band within the
storage cycle (t2), then there will be no recording and “Min. storage
cycle” is still active.

Analog inputs

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 The data stored in the SRAM are regularly copied to the internal memory in
(SRAM) 20 kbyte blocks.

Internal When a block in main memory has been filled, it is copied to the internal
memory 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.

CompactFlash If an external CompactFlash memory card (Industrial Grade) is inserted into


memory card the paperless recorder, memory blocks are automatically written to the CF
(external) 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 444) 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).

38
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 Data are recorded encoded in a proprietary format.


format

Recording The recording duration depends on various factors:


duration
- number of analog channels and event traces being recorded
- Storage cycle (memory rate)
- number of events in the event list

Optimization of The recording duration can be optimized by process-oriented selection of the


recording storage cycle and stored value.
duration
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.

39
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.

Memory alarm The limit for alarms can be set by the parameter Configuration ➔ Device data ➔
Memory alarm in the configuration level.
The parameter Configuration ➔ Device data ➔ Data readout via... can be used
to determine which storage space indication should be shown in the status
bar. The “binary signals” for storage space detection function independently of
this parameter.

Binary Signals “Mem.al. CF readout”


If this signal is set, this means that no data have been fetched via the CF card
or USB memory stick for a prolonged period, and the available capacity of the
internal memory has fallen below the configured level (this only applies if the
parameter Configuration ➔ Device data ➔ Data readout via ... is set to "CF
card").
“Mem.al. interface”
If this signal is set, this means that no data have been fetched via the interface
for a prolonged period, and the available capacity of the internal memory has
fallen below the configured level (this only applies if the parameter
Configuration ➔ Device data ➔ Data readout via... is set to “Interface”).
“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.
v See "Binary Signals" on Page 31.

H The signal is not operated in reference to a full USB memory stick.

interface as for a readout via the CF card. This saves having to put
together data from different files at a later date.

3.3 Group and Plant Management (Batches)

Within the recorder, all analog inputs, binary inputs, counters and integrators,
are collected together into groups. A maximum of nine groups is available as a
total. Each group can consist of a maximum of 6 analog inputs, 6 binary inputs
(or outputs), and 4 counters/integrators.
The visualization and storage of the analog inputs and binary inputs (outputs)
is always made on a group basis.

If plants (batches) are used, the groups have fixed assignments to the plants
(batches).

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  Interface  RS232 for barcode reader  General 
Protocol = bar code.
- The batch start (= batch stop) must be configured.
Example for batch start/stop:
Configuration  Batch/plant  Batch (Plant) 1  General  Batch start =

General
information
H The function CF card update reads out data that have not yet been
read out. After read-out, data are not marked as read in the
recorder but are not deleted.
Function Backup  CF card reads all data from internal memory,
including what had already been read. After read-out, the data are
marked as read in the recorder. The function Backup  CF card is
therefore ideal for test and service work.

H Only one data storage medium can ever be inserted at a time,


either a CF memory card or a USB memory stick. Paperless
recorders without extra code Stainless steel are equipped with two
USB host interfaces (one on the front and one on the back). In this
case also, only one can be used at a time, never both together.

8.5 Configuration
This function can be used to alter the configuration of the recorder.
v Several chapters in this operating manual deal with the configuration, which
starts in Chapter 10 "Configuration - General".

A
An alteration of the configuration results in the current recording
being closed down and the new data being recorded in a separate
time frame from the “old” data. It is not possible to present the
data before reconfiguration and the data after reconfiguration as a
single entity. The instrument works with a new configuration.

8.6 Parameterization
For parameterization, some functions will not be available if no user is logged
in, or the user who is logged in does not have the access rights for these
functions.
Only the setting of individual current batch numbers is enabled in the factory
(default) setting.
v Additional information can be found in Chapter 9 "Parameterization".

9.1 Fine calibration
You can use customer-specific fine adjustment to correct the measured values
of the analog input. In contrast to offsetting, which is used to specify a con-
stant correction value for the entire characteristic line, fine adjustment can also
be used to change the gradient of the characteristic line.

Overview

Parameter
Parameter Selection/settings Description
Actual start value -99999 to 0 to +99999 Lower display value
Target start value -99999 to 0 to +99999 Lower reference value
Actual end value -99999 to 100 to +99999 Upper display value
Target end value -99999 to 100 to +99999 Upper reference value

Example The temperature inside a furnace is measured with an RTD temperature probe
and displayed. Due to the temperature drift of the probe, the true temperature
(reference measurement) deviates from the displayed value. The amount of
deviation is different at the upper and lower measuring points, meaning that
measured value offset is not suitable.

Actual start value: 15 °C (displayed value)


Target start value: 20 °C (reference measurement)
Actual end value: 70 °C (displayed value)
Target end value: 80 °C (reference measurement)

individual module slots).

13.1 Sensor … Offset


Overview

Sensor Type of the connected sensor (e.g. RTD in 3-wire circuit). The setting
“Inactive” means that the channel is not connected.

H An analog channel can be used in a group, even though its sensor


is set to “Inactive”. The channel is marked as invalid “-----” in the
curve presentation.

Linearization In addition to the usual linearizations (e.g. Pt100), four customer-specific


linearizations are available. The associated linearization tables have to be
created using the setup program.

Reference The settings for the cold junction are only available if “thermocouple” has been
junction selected as the sensor.
(cold junction)
Internal Pt100 The Pt100 resistance thermometers within the
instrument are used for the comparison measurement.
Ext. const. A constant temperature is selected for comparison.

Ext. reference The cold-junction temperature is entered here if “thermocouple” has been
temperature configured as the sensor and “Ext. const.” as the cold junction.

range start/ connected and automatically entered. The start and end can be altered for
range end these sensor types: current, voltage, potentiometer and resistance transmitter.

109
13 Configuration - Analog Inputs
If the limits can be altered, a free scaling function is activated within the
instrument, i.e. the value “range start” is transformed to the value “scaling
start” and the value “range end” to the value “scaling end”.
If the limits are not alterable, the predefined range can only be restricted via
“scaling start” and “scaling end”.

Scale / Visualization on the recorder screen takes place within the limits configured
range start / here.
range end
If the measurement goes outside the limits configured here, the error constant
for overrange or underrange is written to the measurement variable. When the
data are visualized, “>>>>>” appears for overrange and “<<<<<” for
underrange.

Offset This function serves for the parallel shifting of the measurement curve in the
range of ±100 referred to the scaling limits.

Channel 1 has been assigned a special task: it is used as a reference curve for
the other channels of the group. All the other channels of the group can be
compared with Channel 1, independently of each other. On leaving the
configured tolerance band, an alarm will be initiated, an alarm text will appear
in the “status & title bar” and will be entered in the alarm or event list.

A comparison of the tolerance band is only possible within the
scaling limits. In the event of overrange/underrange on a channel,
there will be LOW as well as HIGH alarm for all the other functions
(in this particular case: positive and negative tolerance).

Positive “Positive tolerance” and the present measurement from Channel 1 form the
tolerance upper limit for the tolerance band. The value can only be entered as positive
value.

Negative “Negative tolerance” and the present measurement from Channel 1 form the
tolerance lower limit for the tolerance band. The value can only be entered as negative
value.

Positive If a positive tolerance infringement has occurred, then the present


hysteresis measurement from Channel 2 — 6 must first fall below the measurement from

alarm to be canceled again. The value for the “positive hysteresis” can only be
entered as a positive value.

Negative If a negative tolerance infringement has occurred, the present measurement


hysteresis from Channel 2 — 6 first has to rise above the measurement from Channel 1
plus the negative tolerance and plus the negative hysteresis for the alarm to be
canceled again. The value for the “negative hysteresis” can only be entered as
a positive value.

edges of the screen. A precondition for this is, however, that the display of the
binary traces is switched out of display.

135
18 Configuration - Groups
Diagram header With the help of this parameter, the diagram header can be switched on or off.
The diagram header (numerical presentation of the measurements or switch
symbols for the binary channels) is available in the visualization mode Curves
and Binary.

Measurement The parameter Measurement selection enables you to choose between MIN
selection and MAX. This setting exclusively affects the numerical measurement
presentation in the visualization mode Curves, but only if MIN and MAX values
are recorded at the same time. In the case of MIN and MAX value recording,
the recorder operates internally at the maximum sampling rate and stores both
the measured minimum and measured maximum within the active storage
cycle. Measurement selection determines which value is shown in the diagram
header.

MIN Minimum values are displayed in the diagram


header.
MAX Maximum values are displayed in the diagram
header.

MIN/MAX value recording is set through the parameter Stored values of the
operating modes (normal, event and timed operation).

Show envelope This parameter determines whether the measurement curves (only with
diagram activated MIN/MAX value recording) are presented as an envelope or as a line
in the curve presentation. If the data are not recorded in the MIN/MAX value
recording mode, the parameter has no effect.
MIN/MAX value recording is set through the parameter "Stored values = MIN/
MAX values” of the operating modes (normal, event and timed operation).

Yes MIN/MAX values are presented as an envelope.


No MIN/MAX values are presented as a line.

18.6 Normal Operation
Overview

Memory status Only if Memory status is switched on, is the operating mode “Normal
operation” available.
With activated normal operation, the measurement data will be recorded at the
storage cycle that was configured, unless
- event operation is active,
- timed operation is active or
- the parameter Stored values is configured for Eco mode.

H If Memory status is switched off and neither event nor timed


operation is active, only events are acquired but no measurement
data stored.

Memory values This parameter determines how measurement data are recorded.

Average values The average value of the storage cycle that was set is
calculated and stored.
Current values The current value is stored at the storage cycle that was
set.
MIN values The minimum value is stored at the storage cycle that
was set.
MAX values The maximum value is stored at the storage cycle that
was set.
MIN/MAX values The minimum and maximum values (envelope) is stored
at the storage cycle that was set.

137
18 Configuration - Groups
Eco Mode Using this method, the value is stored if the
measurement differs by a certain amount from the value
that was last stored, or if a binary channel belonging to
the group alters its state.
In Eco mode, the configured storage cycle is regarded
as the maximum storage rate. In no case will values be
stored any faster, even if they change faster. The
momentary value is always used for investigating the
tolerance band, and only at the instances of time of the
storage rate that was configured.
v Chapter 2.8.2 "Eco mode"

If a measurement is saved in Eco mode, it will, at the


same time, be used as the new reference.

H If the storage cycle is set to 0


(= 125msec), then not 1 measurement but
8 will be stored.

H If the “Min. storage cycle” is smaller than


the “storage cycle”, Eco mode will
become ineffective, i.e. the momentary
values are stored.

Memory rate The storage cycle is set here. Depending on the setting for the parameter
(storage cycle) Stored values, the measurement data are saved after the set time has elapsed.
The smaller the storage cycle, the more data must be saved.

H If 0 is set, the recorder uses the fastest possible rate, i.e. it saves
the measurements every 125msec (high-speed mode).

Min. memory The storage cycle is set here, that will only be used if Eco mode is active. If no
rate signal changes occur in Eco mode, no measurement data will be saved. This
(Eco mode) parameter is used for forced storage at the rate that was set. This provides the
additional security that the connected sensing system is functioning.

Tolerance band The tolerance for Eco mode is specified here. If, in Eco mode, the deviation of
(Eco mode) the present value from the value that was last stored is larger than the
tolerance entered here, the present value will be stored (if the storage cycle
has elapsed at the same time). The tolerance always refers to the current
scaling of an analog channel within the current group.

19 Configuration Report
19.2 External … Out of range
Overview

External External determines whether an external report is run while the external signal
(External start) is set (HIGH).

On The external report is run.

H Only one external report will be started in a group within


5 seconds, i. e. any external restart before the 5 seconds have
elapsed will be ignored. If the start signal is still present after
5 seconds, the external report will be started at once. If the start
signal is no longer present, the report will not be restarted.

External start External start defines the start signal for the external report.

143
19 Configuration Report
Synchronization Synchronization time is used for the daily, weekly and periodic report, for the
time report end and restart.

The parameter Synchronization time is explained below, using a period report


as an example.

Stop and restart will occur at the next instant of time which fits into the time
grid, dependent on the Synchronization time and Period.
Example:
Period = 2 hours
Synchronization time = 11:30:00
Power ON = 09:11:00

1. Period 1 from 09:11 to 09:30 = 19 minutes


2. Period from 09:30 to 11:30 = 2 hours
3. Period 3 from 11:30 to 13:30 = 2 hours
etc.

H The principle is identical for all reports that are dependent on the
Synchronization time (daily, weekly and periodic report).
As a rule, in the case of the daily report, the first report will not be
run for 24 hours, and, in case of the weekly report, not for 7 days.

Out of range „Out of range“ determines what happens when an internal or external analog
input, or an allocated math channel, is outside the valid measurement range
(scaling).

Stop The channel reports are stopped. When the


measurements are within the range limits again, they will
continue to be run.
Delete The reports are set to invalid (“-----”) and will be
restarted only after the configured report end has
elapsed.

148
21 Configuration - Counters/Integrators
Each of the 27 channels can be configured as a counter, integrator, operating
time counter, high-speed counter, or for measuring flow rates in combination
with high-speed counters.
- Counters (counting frequency 8Hz) are used to count binary signals.
- Integrators are used to integrate analog inputs.
- Operating time counters are used to measure the time in which binary
signals are active.
- High-speed counters (counting frequency 10kHz) are used to count the
pulses of the first two binary inputs of a module (B1, B2, B9, B10, B17,
B18). If a module has not been fitted with binary inputs, then the high-
speed counters cannot be used for this module.
- The flow rate quantity is used together with high-speed counters to
measure flow rate.
Stored counter and integrator counts (except for the flow rate quantity) can be
evaluated on a PC using the PCA3000 Evaluation software. The counter/
integrator count that was last stored can be displayed in the Visualization
menu using function Counters/integrators.

H Please observe the notes in Chapter 2.5.

21.1 General Setting


Overview

Synch. time Synchronization time is used for daily, weekly and periodic counters and
integrators, for termination and restart. When the synchronization time has
been reached, all counts are stored, and the function is restarted with the start
value 0.
For the “weekly” type, the parameter Weekday is also relevant.
The parameter Synchronization time is explained below, using a periodic
counter by way of example.

149
21 Configuration - Counters/Integrators

Power ON = 09:11:00

1. Period 1 from 09:11 to 09:30 = 19 minutes


2. Period 3 from 09:30 to 11:30 = 2 hours
3. Period from 11:30 to 13:30 = 2 hours
etc.

Start Start is the start time for counters or integrators which have the parameter
Type configured for “Daily (start…end)”.

End End is the end time for counters or integrators which have the parameter Type
configured for “Daily (start…end)”.

Period Period is the period length for counters and integrators which have the
parameter Type configured for “Periodic”.

Weekday On Weekday at the Synchronization time, counters and integrators which have
the parameter Type configured for “Weekly” are stored and restarted with the
start value 0.

Reset In addition to the normal end, a signal can be determined here with which the
signal counter/integrator counts can be set to 0.

22 Configuration - Interface
The interfaces are used by the paperless recorder to communicate with other
systems (e. g. a PC that is running the setup program or the PCA
communications software).

H A detailed description of the entire range of interface functions and


protocols can be found in the separate interface description
B 706581.2.0.

Overview

The interfaces for Ethernet (connector 6) and RS232/RS485 (connector 7) and


the “RS232 for barcode reader” (connector 2) are provided as standard in the
recorder.

H - A barcode reader can also be connected to the RS232/RS485


interface.
- The “RS232 for barcode reader” interface can also be used for
the transfer of data between the PC and a paperless recorder.
- Two barcode readers can be connected to 2 interfaces. The
strings that are read in are fed to the same evaluation function.
So it is conceivable that, for instance, one reader is used to
start a batch report, and another reader to stop it.
- Only one modem can be connected.

H In addition to the configurable interfaces described in this chapter,


the paperless recorder is also fitted with a special setup interface.
It is also possible to run the setup program and the PCA
communications software through these setup interfaces. There is
one on the back panel (connector 5) and one on the front panel of
the instrument (but not on the stainless steel version). The
connection between the PC and the recorder is made via a PC
interface with a TTL/RS232 converter, or a PC interface with an
USB/TTL converter.

The Ethernet interface can be used to connect the paperless recorder to a
network. Communication is designed for 10Mbit/sec and 100Mbit/sec, and
the network connection is made through an RJ45 socket.

H If the operator allows access to the Internet then the operator must
ensure that no unauthorized access is possible.

Overview

A
All settings that affect the Ethernet must be cleared with the responsible
network administrator. A maximum of four users are permitted access to
a paperless recorder simultaneously.
If alterations are made to the settings for Ethernet parameters, then the
instrument will automatically carry out a reset (restart).

DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used so that the paperless
recorder can automatically receive an IP address and other communication
parameters from a DHCP server.
On DHCP is switched on, the recorder receives its IP
address from the DHCP server

The other communication parameters that the paperless recorder usually


receives from the DHCP server include the subnet mask, gateway address,
and the lease time.
When the lease time (user time) has expired, the IP address loses its validity. In
order that the paperless recorder may always have a valid IP address, it sends
a query to its DHCP server whether the address is still valid when 50% of the
lease time has expired. If the DHCP server is not available, the recorder
repeats the query until 87.5% of the lease time has expired. After that, the
recorder sends the query not only to the DHCP server, but to the entire
network. If the lease time expires without the IP address being confirmed, the

160
22 Configuration - Interface
recorder declares the address as invalid and is no longer accessible in the
network.

H An assigned address can be altered by the DHCP server. If, for


example, the PCA communication software is used for the
automatic collection of data, then the address must be altered
within the software.

The automatically assigned IP address can be read in the menu Device


manager  Device info  Eth. Info (Chapter 8.3 "Device information").

IP address If automatic IP address assignment is not used (DHCP = OFF), then the IP
address for the paperless recorder is set here.

Subnet mask If automatic IP address assignment is not used (DHCP = OFF), then the subnet
mask is set here.
The subnet mask is used to gather devices (PC, recorders etc.) together to
form subnets. All devices that have an IP address that is AND linked to the
subnet mask belong to one subnet and can communicate with one another.
If it is necessary to access devices outside the subnet, then the
communication must be handled by a gateway (standard gateway).

Standard If automatic IP address assignment is not used (DHCP = OFF), then the
gateway address of the standard gateway is set here.
The standard gateway is used for communication with devices that do not
belong to the subnet.

Modbus port The port address must be set for access to the paperless recorder and
no. TCP Modbus TCP protocol with visualization software is used (Modbus tunneling:
outer frame Ethernet, inner frame Modbus).
v Further information can be obtained from the Operating manual B 706581.0

DNS The DNS device name is set here. This makes it possible to access the device
device name not only through its IP address, but also through its name.

DNS server This is used to set up the IP address for a DNS server that is installed in the
network. The DNS server is required to resolve the name for e-mail transfer via
Ethernet.

Transfer rate Here you can configure the transfer rate that is used for communication
between the paperless recorder and the DHCP server or other computers.

Web server The paperless recorder has an integrated web server to operate the instrument
via the Ethernet interface.

22.2 RS232/RS485

22.2.1 General

Overview

H In order for communication to take place – e. g. with the setup


program – the interface parameters for the PC and the recorder
must be identical at both ends of the connection.

Device address For the RS485 type of interface, the device address for the paperless recorder
must only occur once within a group of connected instruments on the same
bus. This has little significance for an RS232 interface, since only one device
can be connected to the serial interface.

Type The type of interface that is to be used.

Protocol The protocol that is to be used.

Modbus slave The paperless recorder operates as a Modbus slave.


Modbus master The paperless recorder operates as a Modbus master.
Additional parameters must be set up in the menu

Min. The minimum response time is the minimum time that the recorder will take
response time before it sends a response to a data request.
The minimum response time is required by the RS 485 interface in the master,
in order to switch over the interface driver from transmit to receive. This
parameter is not required for the RS 232 interface.

Timeout Timeout monitoring can only be activated for the Modbus slave protocol.
monitoring
Yes Monitoring takes place.
No Monitoring does not take place.

If active monitoring is the case then the communication between the slave (pa-
perless recorder) and the master with regard to the external analog and binary
inputs is monitored. If no communication takes place within the configured
time then an alarm message is displayed and entered into the alarm and event
list.
Timeout monitoring remains inactive after the recorder has been switched on
until the master sends the first query. That way, different switch-on and start-
ing times from the master and slave are compensated.

22.2.2 Modbus master

Overview

The parameters found under Modbus master can only be set up if the Modbus
master was selected as the protocol in the RS232/RS485 interface settings.

General The timeout and polling cycle are set here. The timeout defines that time after
which the master will declare that an initiated request has an error. The polling
cycle defines the interval between requests for reading data from a slave
device.

Addr. ext. A maximum of 54 external analog inputs can be read into the paperless
analog value recorder. The following parameters must be configured for each analog
variable.

Device address The address of the slave device from which data
are to be fetched.
Modbus address Address within the instrument.
The entry is made in decimal format.
v See the instrument documentation for the slave
device.
Number of The number of measurements to be read. The number
measurements “1” means that one measurement is made at every
cyclical interval. If a number larger than 1 is entered,
then (commencing at the Modbus address) several
measurements will be read and automatically distributed
to the following external inputs (analog values). The
entry template will be locked for subsequent values.
Example: starting at "Ext. analog value1“, three
measurement values are read. In the menu, the settings
for “Ext. analog value 2“ and "Ext. analog value 3“ are
locked. starting at "Ext. analog value 4”, a new
arrangement can be configured.

164
22 Configuration - Interface
Data format Selection of the format in which data are to be received.
For the float format, you can define whether the LSB
(least significant bit) or MSB (most significant bit) is
transmitted first.
In the unsigned integer format (UInt: 0 — 65535) and the
integer format (Int: -32768 — 32767) you can define a
divisor for the division of the data that are received. The
purpose of the division is to make it possible for floating
point values to be transmitted in integer format. So the
sender must multiply the data by the corresponding
factor before transmission.

Addr. ext. A maximum of 54 external binary tracks (binary values) can be read into the
binary value paperless recorder. The following parameters must be configured for each
binary variable.

Device address The address of the slave device from which data
are to be fetched.
Modbus address Address within the instrument.
v See the instrument documentation for the slave device.
Bit number The bit (b0 — b15) that is to be read.
v See the instrument documentation for the slave device.
Bit quantity The number of bits to be read. The number “1” means
that one bit is read at every cyclical interval. If a number
larger than 1 is entered, then (commencing at the
Modbus address) several bits will be read and
automatically distributed to the following external binary
values. The entry template will be locked for subsequent
values.
Example: starting at "Ext. binary value 1“, 16 bits are
read. In the menu, the settings for “Ext. binary value 2“
to "Ext. binary value 16“ are locked. starting at "Ext.
binary value 17”, a new arrangement can be configured.

Addr. ext. text A maximum of 27 texts can be read into the paperless recorder.

Device address The address of the slave device from which data
are to be fetched.
Modbus address Address within the instrument.
v See the instrument documentation for the slave
device.
Word number The read-in is always made as words, i. e. there will
always be at least two characters read.

24.1 Time Synch. … Daylight Saving Time
Overview

Time synch. This parameter can be used to influence the time setting for the paperless
recorder. When used in conjunction with a binary signal it can thus ensure that
several recorders are synchronized to the same time.

Inactive No synchronization takes place.


Binary I/O Select the signal that is to be used to activate the
synchronization.
The time is synchronized with the transition from Low to
High (min. pulse duration = 125 ms).
The seconds are decisive when changing the time. The
time is advanced or retarded by a maximum of
±30 seconds.
Example: 12:55:29 -> 12:55:00
12:55:30 -> 12:56:00

H The time server function (Chapter 25) enables an additional syn-


chronization option.

Synch. at batch This parameter determines whether the time synchronization can also be
activated while batch reporting is in progress.

No No synchronization will take place while a batch report is


active.
Yes Time synchronization will be carried out, even if a batch
report is active.

25 Configuration - Time server (SNTP)
25.1 General information about SNTP
SNTP is the abbreviation for "Simple Network Time Protocol." SNTP enables
the synchronization between the time of the paperless recorder with external
time signals (server; e.g. atomic clock).

Deviation that is If the deviation of the time between the paperless recorder and server does
less than 30 not exceed 30 seconds then the time in the paperless recorder is slowly ad-
seconds justed or updated without generating a configuration.

Deviation that is If the deviation of the time between paperless recorder and server does ex-
more than 30 ceed 30 seconds then automatically a new configuration is generated and the
seconds date and the time in the device is immediately set to the value from the server.
The following cases prevent synchronization:
- A transfer between setup program and recorder is active
- A transfer between the PCA Communication Software (PCC) and the re-
corder is active
- A user has opened an operating dialog (menu) such as configuration or pa-
rameterization on the recorder
- A function of the memory manager, such as exporting the recorder data to a
USB flash drive, is active
- A batch reporting is active
In these cases the synchronization will be canceled and another attempt will
be started after 5 minutes. If further unsuccessful attempts are the case then
the recorder will cause the repetition time of the recorder to vary to prevent
synchronization from taking place in the same constant interval.

Daylight saving The switch to summer time is not controlled over SNTP.

28.1 General
The web server is integrated in the paperless recorder as a standard feature.
Four different modes of presentation are available:
- "Online Visualization (All Visualizations Except Batches)"
- "Three freely programmable HTML pages"
- "Online Visualization of Current Batch Reports"
- "QuadView"
The web server can be accessed on the PC side with Microsoft® Internet
Explorer by entering the IP address (e. g. http://10.10.90.45). DNS names can
be assigned on the device. Therefore a device can also be accessed using the
DNS names. For visualizing graphics, the SVG Viewer from Adobe® must be
installed on the PC in addition to Internet Explorer.

H Up to 4 PCs (clients) can have access to the device via the


Ethernet interface.

Log-in A password query has been activated in the factory. The user can switch it to
inactive with the PC setup program.
