### Planning to Harness the Power of Tiger 320 Programmable Meter Controllers

A combination of modular hardware and software resources enable Tiger 320 Series Programmable Meter Controllers

(PMCs) to be easily configured as a cost effective solution for the most simple or the most complex of applications.

A review of your Projects objectives, its physical layout, the proposed sensors and control outputs will enable you to select the optimum configuration of the Tiger 320 PMCs unique hardware and software capabilities.

Input Signals & Sensors

4-20 mA or Sensor Direct Unless sensors are located at a far distance, the greatest accuracy and best performance is usually obtained by connecting sensors directly to the Tiger 320, which will then function as the primary measurement device.

There are more than 120 Tiger compatible input signal conditioning modules, with the appropriate excitation outputs, to suit almost any type of sensor or combina-

tions of up to 4 sensors.

In most cases, sensors with a 4-20 mA output are more costly, and when a separate 4-20 mA transmitter is used, signal conversion, drift, and calibration inaccuracies are introduced.

Some Tiger input modules combine direct sensor inputs with 4-20 mA inputs, enabling both local and far distant sensor inputs to be combined.

Sensor Linearization or Compensation The performance of many sensors can be greatly enhanced or expanded with linearization and or compensation. Sensors may be compensated for temperature, frequency, altitude, humidity and mechanical position, to name just a few parameters.

Tiger PMCs with 32 kilobits or more of memory provide up to four 32-point user defined linearization tables or one combined 125-point table.

Many compensation methods can be implemented with the standard cross channel math capabilities of the Tigers 32-bit operating system. Complex three-dimensional compensation can also be implemented using the powerful macro programming capability.

The serial number and calibration date of a sensor can be loaded into the meter. The serial number, linearization tables, and compensation factors of a newly calibrated sensor can then be saved for future reloading, either serially through a PC or directly through the web via an Ethernet port.

Although there are numerous input modules with combinations of various input signals, some inputs such as watts or pH are provided on input modules dedicated to a single function. Combining these inputs with each other signals two or more Tiger meters can serially communicate, and be configured to share their data and processing resources.

Display Options

Tiger PMCs have a large range of display options, including digital and alphanumeric LCDs, LEDs and Touch Panel HMIs.

LED or LCD Displays LED displays are a lower cost and popular display option.

They operate over the largest temperature range, have better viewing angles and viewing distances, and have the longest operational life. However, red LEDs are difficult to read in direct sunlight without a shade hood and consume more power. Green LEDs and backlit LCD displays can be more easily read in direct sunlight.

The Tiger range can be ordered with red or green LEDs.

LCD displays are also available, with or without backlighting.

Numeric or Alphanumeric Displays Generally, numeric displays are a lower cost option than alphanumeric displays. The Tiger range supports a full 7segment numeric and 14-segment alphanumeric alphabet of English letters and Arabic numerals. Where complex text messaging or alarm annunciation is required, we recommend using the 14-segment alphanumeric option.

Single or Multiple Display The Tiger meter has four input channels and can be configured to display many different inputs or results. These can be viewed constantly on the operational display, or on demand in one of the view modes by pressing a button. Some applications require multiple values to be displayed simultaneously. With single, dual, or triple displays, and single displays with 51 or 101-segment bargraph combinations, we have a large range of display options to choose from.

Tiger meters can communicate with each other to share their data and processing resources and be stack or twin mounted to provide a wider range of display options.

options

Twin or triple mounting for greater display options

Push Button or Membrane Touch Pads Tiger PMCs are shipped as standard with high usage hard plastic push buttons. An optional clear lens cover that opens on a cam hinge with a key lock can provide full NEMA 4 or IP65 dust and water proofing. Alternatively, an optional membrane touch pad faceplate can be ordered.

Faceplates can be custo suit any tomized OEM application, and

be quickly produced in large or small quantities for push buttons or membrane touch pads.

## Control Outputs & I/O Logic

Electromechanical Relays or Solid State Control Outputs

Tiger PMCs have a wide selection of control outputs to chose from. The decision on which control output to choose depends on the current and the switching frequency.

Electromechanical relays are a popular choice for most control outputs. Tiger output modules are available with combinations of two 10 amp form C and two to six 5 amp form A relays that can be used to directly drive fractional HP motors or actuators.

The limitation of electromechanical relays is switching speed. If a relay needs to operate in less than 30 mS, or be cycled faster than.5 cpm, it is advisable to select an output module with solid state relays (SSR) or open collector outputs (OC), that can drive external high current SSRs.

### Planning to Harness the Power of Tiger 320 Programmable Meter Controllers continued

PID or On/Off Control Depending on the process to be controlled, either PID or on/off control should be selected. If the process variables are reasonably consistent, then the on/off control is generally more than adequate and easier to implement. Super smart setpoint control software supports many selectable functions, such as Hi or Lo activation, Latching, Hysteresis, Tracking, Register Resetting and 7 Multi-function internal Timers on all setpoints.

Control systems with large lag and lead times are not suitable for on/off control and tend to overshoot and undershoot. PID is needed to stabilize and control these systems. One of the many powerful setpoint functions provided by the Tiger 320 Operating System is single or dual PID.

Retransmission 0-10V or 4-20mA Tiger PMCs can have an optional single (0-10 V or 0/4-20 mA) or dual (0-10 V) analog output module installed. The isolated 16-bit output is fully scalable and highly accurate.

With a compliance of up to 500 at 20mA, the 4-20 mA output can be used over very long distances and still drive more than one output device, such as a PID controlled valve positioner.

The analog outputs can be reversed to output 20mA to 4/0 or 10 to 0VDC. They can be scaled across any portion of the digital range, up to full scale. The output can be programmed to swing 0 to 20mA or 0 to 10V in one digital count to drive external logic or SSRs as additional setpoints.

Under Macro Program Control, the analog outputs can be programmed to produce pulses or even sinewaves.

I/O Logic, Rear Panel or Breakout Box The Tiger Operating System has many built-in logic functions that can be used to develop sophisticated control systems. The Tiger PMC has three logic inputs/outputs available via the LOCK, HOLD, and CAPTURE pins, and three logic I/Os are available for input module use via pins D1, D2 and D3.

More complex I/O intensive applications require an opto-isolated I/O plug-in module, which supports six inputs and up PLANNING to 16 outputs. This module can connect to an external TIP

Breakout Box that is DIN Rail mountable with screw terminal blocks. There are also compatible DIN Rail mounting electromechanical relays and SSR modules.

6 Inputs & 16 Outputs or 6 Inputs & 6 Outputs

Fully Programmable

## Serial Communication

The easiest way to configure or program a Tiger PMC is with the free user-friendly Configuration or Macro Development Software. Serial I/O is provided via an optional Plug-in output carrier board, which supports RS-232 or RS-485 output modules. If serial I/O is not required by the application, the serial carrier board can be removed for reuse. The Tiger 320 Operating System supports several serial protocols, including ASCII, Modbus RTU and Print Mode (which includes a printer driver and support for direct meter to meter communications).

Also supported is DeviceNet, which requires a special dedicated carrier board, and Ethernet (TCP/IP), which requires an external converter box.

RS-232 or RS-485

Except for DeviceNet, all serial communication modes supported by the Tiger can function with either RS-232 or RS-485. The limitations of RS-232 are that only one meter at a time can be connected to the serial port of a computer, and the

distance from the computer to the meter is limited in practical terms to around 30 meters (100 feet).

Up to 32 meters can be connected on an RS-485 bus.

The differential current drive of the RS-485 bus ensures signal integrity in the most harsh environments to distances up to 1230 meters (4000 feet). However, RS-485 generally requires a special RS-485 output card to be installed in the computer or an external RS-232 to RS-485 converter has to be used.

DECISION

### Select the Communication Mode Best

### Suited to Your Application:

Modbus (RTU)

Modbus is widely used in industry. It has a large base, and most SCADA and HMI software packages support it. See also Modbus Wrapped in Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) below.

There are 100s of HMI Touch Panel Screens that are compatible with the Tiger 320 Modbus interface.

ASCII

The meter configuration utility program and the development software use the ASCII protocol. The ASCII protocol allows you to write your own driver for your own application via the development software and should provide the quickest development time.

Print Mode

This is an ASCII based printer driver output that enables the serial port to be directly connected to any serial printer with Epson compatibility. Printer output can be configured to occur from a setpoint or on demand, and can be date or time stamped.

The print mode can also be used for computer data logging applications. The meter can be connected directly to a computer, set up in Microsoft Hyperterminal mode, with the meter programmed to output directly into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format. (Also see Data Logging).

Print Mode for Meter to Meter Communication Two or more Tiger PMCs can be connected together allowing data to be transferred from the master meter (in print mode) to the slave meter (in ASCII mode). This enables the meters to share input data and control output functions.

Master Mode

This mode is for use with macro programming to expand the meter to meter communication capability to multiples of Tiger PMCs. This is useful for building an entire system of Tiger PMCs, sharing information and control output resources.

DECISION

Ethernet

Ethernet has become a popular automation and control protocol. We supply an ethernet output option and several external ethernet converters that are compatible with the serial outputs of Tiger PMCs.

Ethernet ASCII Wrap - The ethernet output carrier board option wraps the ASCII output into the Ethernet protocol, and provides a T-base 10/100 Ethernet output socket. This allows the Configuration Utility Program or the Macro Development Software to run over a standard Ethernet network. This enables the Tiger meter to be configured or macro programmed from anywhere in the world via the web.

Up to 32 Tiger PMCs can be connected by RS-485 to a single Ethernet Converter, which will support up to 32 separate IP addresses.

Ethernet Modbus Wrap - This converter accepts the Tiger PMCs modbus protocol and outputs Modbus/TCP through an Ethernet T-base 10 port. This has become a standard for Ethernet on the factory floor. Many SCADA and HMI software packages connect directly to Modbus/TCP.

### Planning to Harness the Power of Tiger 320 Programmable Meter Controllers continued Planning to Use the Tiger 320 Series of Programmable Meter Controllers continued

DeviceNet

DeviceNet was originally developed by Allen Bradley to connect sensors from the factory floor to PLCs. It is a deterministic real-time system, typically used to connect to networks using Allen Bradley PLCs. An optional carrier board is required for DeviceNet which replaces the standard serial output with a dedicated DeviceNet output connector.

## Data Logging

The Tiger 320 Operating System has built-in, sophisticated data logging software. Data logging can be triggered from the PROGRAM button, digital inputs, time or alarm functions. Up to 1MB of optional extra on-board memory provides a powerful, multichannel data capture and acquisition system.

Tiger PMCs can be configured to log in an endless loop, overwriting the oldest data first and utilizing the maximum amount of memory available. Similar to the Black Box on an aircraft, the data can be downloaded for analysis after a problem event occurs.

Data logging can be combined with an Ethernet converter to provide an individual Web Page with data that can be accessed by a browser over the internet.

Real-time Clock

The Tiger meter has an optional real-time clock with a 15 year lithium battery backup, ensuring that time information is not lost in the event of a power failure. It can be configured in 12 or 24-hour modes for printing and data logging applications.

Other applications of the real-time clock include activating a setpoint or control action at fixed times of the hour, day, week, month or year.

Flash Card Memory Module For long term data logging, a Flash Card Memory Module that plugs in to the carrier board output socket is available. Flash Cards are available from

4 to 128 meg. They can be removed and read by a standard card reader, or the data can be downloaded through the serial port or over the internet with an Ethernet converter. The module also has an SSR setpoint output to trigger an external event.

## Configuration and Programming with

## a PC

With a serial output module installed, Tiger 320 PMCs are most easily configured using the Tiger 320 Configuration Utility, which can be downloaded free from the web and run on any Windows-based PC. The utility also enables the user to access some special capabilities of the Tiger 320 which cannot be programmed manually by the front panel buttons.

The Configuration Utility requires that an RS-232 interface board be installed in a Tiger 320 for programming.

However, if the final application does not require a serial output, the RS-232 board can be easily removed, after programming is completed, and kept for future use.

When a Tiger 320 is to be used in a custom application, the utility enables all or any of the front panel programming functions to be disabled (code blanking).

Customized descriptive text can also be entered to appear with any setpoint action or event.

Different configurations can be stored in a PC for fast downloading into a meter by the user. Custom configurations can also be issued a serial number and pre-

loaded at the factory.

## Development Software

Custom Macro Programming

This powerful, easy to use development system enables programs to be written in BASIC, utilizing any combination of the hundreds of functions and thousands of registers embedded in the Tiger 320 Operating System. When your Basic program is compiled into the Tiger 320 Macro-language it is error checked and optimized. There are also numerous offthe-shelf application specific programs available. Many only need the blanks to be filled in to use them and do not require any knowledge of BASIC programming.

Macro in the

writing stage

Macros are useful when implementing any specialized control system that cannot be achieved by the standard configuration capability of the Tiger 320 Operating System. Using the development software, functions can be altered or added in a standard meter to perform the required job. This may typically include logic sequencing functions and mathematical functions.

Developing a Macro is much easier and quicker than programming a PLC, because the basic code required to customize the Tiger meter is considerably less than the ladder logic programming required for PLCs. This is due to the hundreds of functions built into the Tiger meter that can be manipulated or invoked by a macro, to fulfill the requirements of almost any application.

S c r o l l i n g annunciator

m e s s a g e s can be programmed

to appear with any setpoint activation, selected events or logic inputs. Easy to read, plain text prompts can be programmed to replace the manual programming codes and provide a userfriendly interface for any custom application.

### Configuration Utility Program

The Easiest and Fastest Way to Configure the Tiger 320 is to Use a PC with the Free Downloadable Configuration Utility Program The diagrams and instructions provided in this data sheet / user manual are intended to enable the Tiger meter to be configured and programmed manually using the front panel buttons. A system of Programming Codes is required to facilitate this type of manual programming and these are explained in detail with diagrams and examples.

However, when the Tiger meter is configured and programmed via the optional RS-232 serial port and a PC using the Configuration Utility, the system of Programming Codes is bypassed. The Configuration Utility enables all the programming options to be clearly identified by their functions for direct on-screen selection. The Configuration Utility requires that an RS-232 interface board be installed in a Tiger 320 for programming. However, if the final application does not require a serial output, the RS-232 board can be easily removed, after programming is completed, and kept for future use.

The Configuration Utility Program (which may be freely downloaded from the web) is designed to simplify and speed up the configuration and programming of any Tiger 320. Pull down menus facilitate the selection of different options and the assignment of values. A Help explanation is provided just by holding the cursor over any function box.

The configuration utility enables the user to access some special capabilities of the Tiger 320 which cannot be selected manually by the front panel buttons.

Easy Installation of Linearization Tables

The configuration utility facilitates the storage and downloading of complex linearization tables. Tables can be created in any mathematical or spreadsheet program, and copied into the utility. Linearization tables can be created to precisely match a particular sensor so that they can be installed and downloaded as part of an annual calibration procedure.

Code Blanking

When a custom configuration is created for any specialized application, the Tiger 320 can be programmed to blank out and disable all or any manual programming codes that you do not wish the user to be able to view or access by de-selecting them in the appropriate check box.

Display Text Editing

The meter can be programmed to display customized text to appear for any setpoint or event to suit any application requirements.

Easy Setpoint Configuration

The Tiger 320 supports an incredible range of setpoint options and functions. The utility makes is quick and easy to select and download any combination you may require.

Configuration Data Copying and Loading The configuration utility program allows you to store a record of a meters configuration for later referral, or for the restoration of a desired configuration. Macros can be combined with a configuration file so they can be downloaded together and locked at the same time. When a file is locked after downloading, it cannot be copied. It can only be erased and reloaded from a master file.

Also included is the ability for the user to make notes about the configuration that can be stored as part of the file.

### Custom Macro Programming

This powerful, easy to use Development System can be downloaded free from the web. It enables programs to be written in BASIC, which can utilize any combination of the hundreds of functions and thousands of registers embedded in the Tiger

320 Operating System.

When your BASIC program is compiled into the Tiger 320 Macro-language it is error checked and optimized. When your Macro is downloaded into a Tiger 320 and locked, it is locked forever. It cannot be read or duplicated, it can only be erased.

There is no back-door access. A Tiger 320 running your Macro will remain your exclusive proprietary product.

There is also a growing library of off-the-shelf application specific macro programs available. Many only need the blanks to be filled in to use them and this does not require any knowledge of BASIC. The source code is provided with these programs so they can easily be customized and/or integrated into any proprietary application-specific Macro.

On request, any custom Macro can be issued a serial number and pre-installed at the factory to operate on power-up.

Scrolling annunciator messages can be programmed to appear with any setpoint activation, selected events or logic inputs.

Easy to read, plain text prompts can be programmed to replace the manual programming codes and provide a user-friendly interface for any custom application.

### Controls and Indicators continued Controls and Indicators

### Program Lockout Switch

When the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch is set to position 2, all programmable meter functions can be changed.

When set to the ON position, the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch prevents any programming changes being made to the meter. If programming is attempted, the meter displays [LOC].

The ON position allows programming parameters to be viewed but not changed.

See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.

Setpoint Lockout Switch

When the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch is set to position 1, the setpoints can be programmed. Once the setpoint values have been entered and the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch set to the ON position, the setpoints can be viewed but not changed.

See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.

Error Message [ERROR]

Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.

The three most likely causes of an error message are:

1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.

Note, the high input (full scale) signal

must be at least

1000 counts greater

than the low input

(zero) signal (positive and negative

values are allowed).

2) The scaling requirement exceeded the

capability of the meter (19999 to +99999).

3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.

## Rear Panel External Switched Inputs

The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the

button displays [LoCK].

The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 17):

Reset channel 1 [XX1].

Reset channel 2 [XX2].

Reset channel 3 [XX3].

Reset channel 4 [XX4].

Reset tare [XX5].

Reset total 1 [XX6].

Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].

Hold Pin

Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen.

However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.

The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 17):

Reset tare [X5X].

Set tare [X6X].

Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].

Test Pin

Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.

The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 17):

Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].

Common Pin

To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).

### Front Panel Push Button Configuration and Setup for Programming Conventions

The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.

To configure the meters programming codes, the

meter uses the three righthand side display digits.

These are known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite. To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps.

Operational Display

First

Digit

Second

Digit

Third

Digit

The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger

320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:

Symbol

Explanation

The top display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal.

This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.

All programming modes are entered from this level.

This symbol represents the PROGRAM button. In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.

Operational Display

This symbol represents the UP button.

Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.

This symbol represents the DOWN button.

Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.

Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.

and

Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.

Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.

If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.

Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.

For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operabutton and a right tional display. With a left hand pressing the

hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main programming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].This is the display brightness mode and is the first submenu of the main programming mode.

Operational Display

### Step 1

### Step 2

Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.

The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.

When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.

Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.

If an X appears in the description of a 3digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.

[Span]

[10000]

Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.

### Front Panel Programming Codes

The meters programming codes are divided into two modes:

the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See diagram below).

Each mode is accessible from the operational display.

### Initial Setup Procedures Initial Setup Procedures

Before configuring the meter, carry out the following meter configuration checks:

Model and software code version check.

Code blanking and macro check.

After powering-up the meter, check the model and software code version number and note this in your user manual.

## Model and Software Code Version Check

The meter model and software code version number can be checked at any time while in the operational display using the following procedure.

VERSION CHECK

Example

Operational Display

Programming Tip

The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.

Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.

With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.

Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.

A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.

Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.

Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.

Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

### [CAL] - Calibration Modes for Input and Output continued [CAL] - Calibration Modes for Input and Output continued

Related Calibration Functions

The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details. (See page 3 for more information).

Serial Communications Properties

Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.

This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.

See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement

(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module. (See page 3 for more information).

Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.

This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.

See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.

This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.

Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.

The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.

When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.

You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.

See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.

Example Procedure

The example procedure on Page 24 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.

Totalizer Settings

Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.

This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.

The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.

See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters. (See page

3 for more information).

Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.

This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.

See Linearization Table Notes on Page 36 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.

See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use. (See page 3 for more information).

Scale Analog Output

Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.

This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code 1.

See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

Also see the Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for further details on the analog output module. (See page 3 for more information).

Also see Configure Data Source Procedure on Page 27 for an example of setting the analog output data source.

tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:

Setpoint / relay output.

Analog output.

Relay and analog output at the same time.

PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.

There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:

PID1 stored in register 50.

PID2 stored in register 51.

PID Control

Timer Modes

Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:

Normal Mode Timer

Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).

Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers

Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programmable offand on-time.

Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable DOM and maximum on-time.

1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable DOM and minimum on-time.

Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers

Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, programmable offand on-time.

Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable DOB and maximum off-time.

1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable DOB and minimum off-time.

Hysteresis or Deviation

Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.

Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.

The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.

For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.

Note:

If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.

### Setpoint Programming Mode continued

Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.

The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.

For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is 70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.

Initial Start-up Inhibit.

On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.

Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.

All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.

Normal Mode

This mode individually

programs a relays

setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and

delay-on-break (DOB)

settings.

Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.

Repeat ON Mode

Multiple actuation, programmable on and

off time settings.

Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)

Single actuation, programmable DOM and

on time settings.

1-Shot ON mode (Programmable Minimum ON-time)

Single actuation, programmable DOM and

minimum on time

settings.

Adj.

DOM

Normally ON / Pulsed OFF Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally on and pulses off when the setpoint activates.

1-Shot OFF mode (Programmable Minimum OFF-time)

Single actuation, programmable minimum

off time and DOB settings.

Pulse OFF mode (Programmable OFF-time)

Single actuation, programmable off time

and DOB.

Repeat OFF Mode

Multiple actuation, programmable off and

on time settings.

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.

The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.

Level 1

Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode

This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the

following basic setpoint and relay functions:

First Digit Relay Energize Functions

Relays programmed to energize above or below the setpoint value.

Second Digit SP Activation Source

Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.

Third Digit Setpoint Latching

Relays programmed with latching and manual reset options.

Level 2

Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode

Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.

Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode

This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.

Timer Modes

These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.

Level 3

Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode

Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.

Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.

### Registers That Can Be Selected By Front Panel Push Button Programming

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system (see page 11).

40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:

[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 26 & 27)

Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register

as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 42)

Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 43)

Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 43)

The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.

The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.

Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle (cid:4) is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle (cid:2) is shown.

No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.

When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.

To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and

release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.

Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable 1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:

15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244

Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown on the right, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed.

Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.

Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.

# I-SERIES INPUT SIGNAL CONDITIONING MODULES

Over 120 plug-in signal conditioning modules are available to suit almost any input signal, control, or data output. Modules can be easily inserted through the rear of the meter without disassembly of the case or removal from the panel. Many modules are exclusively designed for the Tiger 320 Series, and some can also be used with the Leopard and Lynx Family panel meters and bargraphs.

*Optimized for 50 Hz rejection. **Optimized for 60 Hz rejection.

### I-Series Input Signal Conditioning Modules continued

Many additional input modules are available and others are constantly being developed. Check with your local distributor or see Texmates web site at: www.texmate.com for updated information. Pre calibrated I-Series Input Modules, that have span or zero potentiometers, can be interchanged between any I-Series compatible meter, without recalibration, because all of the analog scaling and reference circuitry is self-contained within the module. Where appropriate, all the standard ranges are designed to be header selectable by the user, and our unique SPAN ADJUST Header facilitates scaling to almost any required engineering unit. See Input Module Component Glossary for more information.

Unless otherwise specified, we will ship all modules pre calibrated with factory preselected ranges and/or scaling as shown in BOLD type. Other pre calibrated standard ranges or custom ranges may be ordered. Factory installed custom scaling and other custom options are also available.

## INPUT MODULE COMPONENT GLOSSARY

Dual input modules, and those modules exclusively compatible with the Leopard or Tiger Families, do not have zero and span adjustments. These modules are scaled and calibrated using the internal software functions of each individual meter.

Input and Output Pins On most modules Pin 1 is the Signal High input and Pin 3 is the Signal Low input. Typically Pin 2 is used for Excitation Voltage output.

24 V DC Output for 4-20 mA Header On some modules this header enables a 24 V DC 25 mA

(max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin

2 that can power most 4-20 mA transmitters.

INPUT RANGE Headers

Range values are marked on the PCB. Typically two to eight positions are provided, which are selected with either a single or multiple jumper clip. When provided, a custom range position is only functional when the option has been factory installed.

SPAN Potentiometer (Pot)

If provided, the 15 turn SPAN pot is always on the right side (as viewed from the rear of the meter).

Typical adjustment is 20% of the input signal range.

SPAN ADJUST Header

This unique five-position header expands the adjustment range of the SPAN pot into five equal 20% steps, across 100% of the input Signal Span. Any input Signal Span can then be precisely scaled down to provide any required Display span from full scale to the smallest viewable unit.

Function Select Headers

On some modules various functions such as Amps and Volts, 4 wire and 6 wire, or cold junction compensation are selected by header positions that are marked on the PCB.

Excitation Output Select Headers When excitation outputs are provided, they are typically 5 V DC max 30 mA, 10 V DC max 30 mA (300 or higher resistance) or external supply. They are selected by either a single or multiple jumper clip.

ZERO Potentiometer (Pot)

If provided, the ZERO pot is always to the left of the SPAN pot (as viewed from the rear of the meter).

Typically it enables the input signal to be offset 5% of the full scale display span.

ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header When provided, this three position header increases the ZERO pots capability to offset the input signal, by 25% of the full scale display span. For example a Negative offset enables a 1 to 5 V input to display 0 to full scale. The user can select negative offset, positive offset, or no offset (ZERO pot disabled for two step non-interactive span and offset calibration).

SPAN RANGE Header

When this header is provided it works in conjunction with the SPAN ADJUST Header by splitting its adjustment range into a Hi and a Lo range. This has the effect of dividing the adjustment range of the SPAN pot into ten equal 10% steps across 100% of the input Signal Span.

ZERO ADJUST Header

When this header is provided, it works in conjunction with the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header, and expands the ZERO pots offset capability into five equal negative steps or five equal positive steps. This enables virtually any degree of input signal offset required to display any desired engineering unit of measure.
