functions, the other five (softkeys) have menu-dependent functions.
v Chapter 2.1 “Displays and controls”

Softkeys The functions of the softkeys appear in the bottom line of the display, as
symbols or in plain text.

12
 2 Device description
Status line The status line is shown in the top section of the display. It provides
information on important actions and states. The status line is always visible,
irrespective of the level (operation, parameters, configuration).

the measurement of the channel is shown on a red background.

Selection and visual presentation of the channel line can be controlled through
the parameter Parameterization ➔ Diagram view ➔ Channel represent. or by
using the key.
With the help of the parameter Parameterization ➔ Diagram view ➔ Channel
indication ➔ Channel 1 — 6, it is possible to suppress the display of individual
channels in the channel line. This is especially useful for scale or bar graph
display, where more space is needed to show the diagram. The channels that
have been suppressed in the display will nevertheless be recorded, and shown
on the diagram.

2.3 Analog inputs

Internal The paperless recorder can be equipped with 3 or 6 analog inputs. When
analog inputs configuring the analog inputs (Chapter 4.2 “Table of configuration
parameters”), these are designated as analog input 1 — 3 (1 — 6).

14
 2 Device description
2.4 Digital signals (event traces)
Signal types In addition to the four binary inputs (extra code), digital signals generated by
the instrument itself can also be displayed in the six digital traces (event
traces):

signal Description

Binary input 1 — 4 Four binary inputs available as hardware

(extra code)

Logic channel 1 — 6 Channels which are created by using the math

and logic module (extra code required)

Low alarm 1 — 6 Underrange of the channels

Low combination alarm OR linkage of all low alarms

High alarm 1 — 6 Overlimit of channels

High combination alarm OR linkage of all high alarms

Counter/integrator alarm 1 — 6 Limit infringements of counter and

integrator channels (extra code required)

Counter/integrator combination OR linkage of all counter/integrator

alarm alarms (extra code required)

Combination alarm OR linkage of all low, high and counter/inegrator

alarms

CF card inserted The signal is set when a CF card is inserted in the

instrument. It remains active until the card is
removed.

Int. mem. alarm/CF card The alarm is triggered when the internal storage
memory available for read-out via the CF card
card has fallen below a certain value1.

Int. mem. alarm/serial The alarm is triggered when the internal storage
memory available for read-out via the interface
has fallen below a certain value1.

Mem. alarm/CF card The alarm is triggered when the storage memory
available on the CF card that has been plugged in
falls below a certain value1, or no CF card is
plugged in.

Outputs The digital signals can be used to operate three relays (extra code). The action
can be configured as a break (SPST-NC) or make (SPST-NO) contact
(Configuration ➔ Outputs).

External texts External texts can be called up via four binary inputs or the logic channels. If a
binary input is closed or a logic channel makes a 0-1 transition, then the
preconfigured text will be entered in the event list. Either a standard text or one
of the 18 definable texts can be used. The instrument automatically
supplements the texts in order to distinguish between the appearance and
disappearance of the signal. The external texts are configured on the
instrument, under Configuration ➔ Control functions.
v Chapter 3.5 “Event list”

Event operation The digital signals can be used to activate event operation. In event operation,
the measurements are stored with a storage cycle that is different from normal
operation.

2.5 Counters / integrators / operating time counter

These are not electrical measurement inputs (hardware), but channels which
are calculated by the paperless recorder (software).

frequency

Evaluation The count pulses can be evaluated (weighted). A down counter can be
implemented by entering a negative weighting (e.g. weighting factor -1).
Each count change can be documented with an entry in the event list. The
new count is attached to the message.

Integrators
Integrator Analog inputs 1 — 3 or 1 — 6 and math channels 1 — 6
inputs

Integrator sec, min, hr and day

time base

Evaluation You can also enter a weighting for the integrators.

Weighting - measurement of flow volume

example
- input signal of 0 — 20mA (corresponds to 0 — 500 liters/sec)
- time base 1sec
- weighting 0.001
Result: display of the integration value (volume) in m³.

Minimum size Entering a threshold value (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.

H If there is an overrange or underrange on an integrator input, then

integration is stopped (the latest valid value is retained), and will
only continue when the input signal is correct again.

17
2 Device description
Operating time counter
The operating time counter will count how long a selected binary input or one
of the digital signals is closed (set). The time can be displayed in sec, min, hr
or days.

2.5.1 Reporting period of the counts

After an adjustable time (reporting period), the counts are stored for all
counters/integrators/operating time counters. The counts for the current and
the previous 7 completed reporting periods will be displayed. The following
counter/integrator types are possible:
- periodic
In addition, the time period (between 1 min and 12 hrs) must be selected in
the parameter 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, from ... to
The period also has to be selected, by means of the parameters “Daily start
time” and “Daily end time”. The counter/integrator will then be updated
from the start time only. When the end time has been reached, the counter/
integrator value is saved and reset to 0.

2.5.2 Resetting the counters / integrators / operating time counters

Periodic reset There is a reporting period for each counter/integrator/operating time counter.
At the end of this period, the current data (value and time) are saved and the
value reset to 0. Subsequently, the next period can be recorded.
An exception is the totalizer/integrator. It is saved whenever any count/
integration has been completed, but it is not reset to 0. It enables the totalizer
to be evaluated in the evaluation software PCA as well.

18
 2 Device description
External reset You can configure one control signal for all 6 counters/integrators together,
with the result that the counters/integrators are reset to 0 without any saving
of the previous values. The period for the counter/integrator 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 see Page 69 “Generate reset”

Reset from Another option for resetting the counter/integrator values is provided at the
keys parameter level. After entering the password, you can define a value for each
of the 6 channels. The counter/integrator will then be set to this value. When
the value is entered, after editing, a message with the new and the old count 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 “Update CF incl. counters ...” in the
menu for the CompactFlash card.

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.
You can select a password that is different from that for accessing the
configuration. The password is set up in Configuration ➔ Device data ➔ Code
No. (password) ➔ Reset counter / int.

Reset from If, in the menu CompactFlash card, the function CF update incl. counters
CompactFlash is carried out, then the counter states will also be saved and then reset.
card menu
v See “CompactFlash card” on Page 50.

2.5.3 Response to instrument reconfiguration

When the instrument is reconfigured, the current counter/integrator reporting
periods remain unaffected. The counter/integrator values will not be reset to 0
and the reporting period will not be restarted.

H The values can only be deliberately reset through the

Parameterization menu.

19
2 Device description
2.5.4 Response at end of summer time

A
If a period of less than one hour has been set for counters/
integrators, and the change from summer time to winter time falls
precisely within this period, then the PC evaluation software
(PCA3000) will forcibly set the end time to be the same as the start
time. This prevents a negative period arising, and ensures that
further processing is error-free.

2.6 Math/logic module

The math and logic module is available as an extra code. Like the counter/
integrator/operating time counters, the math and logic module is implemented
as channels that are not available as hardware but are calculated by the
instrument software.

The math and logic module consists of 2 parts:

- the math module for calculating analog values and
- the logic module for calculating Boolean values (0 or 1).

Math module With the help of the math module, measurement inputs can be used for the
calculation of “virtual” math channels.
A total of 6 channels can be recorded (stored) in the instrument. In the
configuration, you will find an option under Configuration Î Recording Î
Analog channels Î Analog channel 1 — 6 Î Input signal for selecting which
of the analog inputs or math channels should be stored.
If more than 6 channels are to be active in the instrument (e.g. 4 analog inputs
and 3 active math channels), then you can also use the visualization in the
presentation mode “Large digital display (large measurements)” to see the
measurements that are not stored.
v Chapter 3.2.4 “Large digital display (large measurements)”

20
 2 Device description
The following variables are used for the formulae:
- analog inputs (AE1 — AE6)
- math channels (MAT1 — MAT6)
- counter/integrator channels (ZI1 — ZI6)
- binary inputs (BE1 — BE4)
- alarms
- errors
- Modbus flag (signal via interface)
- instrument-specific data (only after consultation with the manufacturer)
If counter/integrator values are used for calculation, then please note that their
accuracy is reduced, since, in this case, two different data formats have to be
used for calculation. The counters/integrators are calculated in the double-
float format, whereas the math module employs a single-float format that
follows the IEEE 754 standard. Nevertheless, it is possible to include these
values in the math module.
The following fixed functions are available:
- difference
- ratio
- relative humidity (psychrometric measurement)
- moving average
For the moving average, the reference channel has to be entered (in most
cases, the analog input number) and the time period (in minutes) for
calculating the moving average.
The following operators and functions are available for the formulae: +, -, *, /,
(, ), 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”.
The formulae are entered in the PC, in the setup program. The mathematical
formulae cannot be edited by using the keys on the instrument.

H For further information, refer to

Chapter 5.9 “Math/logic”

21
2 Device description
Logic module You also have up to 6 channels available as logic channels.
As is the case with all the other digital signals, the calculated digital (Boolean)
values can be used for different functions:
- recording in the event traces,
- as a control signal for display switch-off,
- clock time synchronization,
- operating time counter,
- externally controlled counters / integrators
- counter/integr. reset
- event operation and key inhibit,
- for output to a relay and
- as count input for a counter.

The following variables are used for the formulae:

- binary inputs
- logic channels
- alarms
- errors
- Modbus flag (signal via interface)
- TRUE
- FALSE
- device-specific data (only after consultation with the manufacturer)

These functions can be used for the formulae:

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

2.7 Operating modes
3 operating The instrument has 3 operating modes:
modes
- normal operation
- timed operation
- event operation
The following settings can, among others, be made for each of the three
operating modes:
- stored value
- storage cycle

Stored value The stored value setting determines what is stored: average, minimum,
maximum or momentary value between two storage cycles, or the peak value
(envelope). The setting “peak value” means that the maximum and minimum
values from the last storage cycle are saved.

Storage cycle The storage cycle 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 Normal operation is active whenever event or timed operation is not active.
operation

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

Event operation Event operation is active as long as its control signal (v Chapter 4.2.6
“Configuration - Recording”) is active. Event operation 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 operation average
Event operation high

Active The active operating mode is shown in the diagram by the background color

2.8 Storing data
Life-cycle data The integrated life-cycle data management puts users in the position of being
management able to save all the process data from the system that is being monitored in an
archive file on their PCs or a server system.

The recovery of configuration-dependent system data, which may be required

for commissioning, maintenance or optimization during the life-cycle of a
system, is now enabled by the associated PC evaluation software (PCA3000)
in a dialog window.

24
 2 Device description
Operating
principle

The measurements from the analog inputs are acquired continuously in a

250msec sampling cycle, and then stored in the main memory. These
measurements also serve as the basis for limit monitoring.

Main memory The data stored in the main memory are regularly copied to the CompactFlash
(FLASH card in 4 kbyte blocks. The main memory is written to as a ring memory, i.e.
memory) when it is full, the oldest data will automatically be overwritten by new data.
The capacity of the main memory is sufficient for approximately 350,000
measurements. The instrument monitors the capacity of the main memory and
activates the “Memory alarm (internal)” signal if the level falls below a
configurable residual capacity.

CompactFlash For saving the data, CompactFlash cards (industrial grade) can be used with
card the following storage capacities: 64/128/256MB.
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 signal can be used, for instance, to operate a relay
(warning signal “Swap CF card”).

Data security The data are stored in coded form in a proprietary format. If the CompactFlash
card is removed from the instrument, no data will be lost immediately, as these
data are still stored in the FLASH memory. A loss of data will only occur if, after
the CompactFlash card has been removed, the FLASH memory is completely
rewritten as well, and no data have been read out through the interface.

Storage cycle Different storage cycles, ranging from 1sec to 32,767sec can be configured
for normal, event and timed operation 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 operation, to decide which value is stored (average, momentary,
minimum, maximum, peak values).

The calculation of the recording duration is made for the storage of

momentary, minimum, maximum or average values. If peak values are
recorded, then the times are shorter, since a maximum and minimum value is
recorded each time.
The recording capacity will be further reduced if a large number of event
messages are also stored.

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

recording storage cycle.
duration
In normal operation (no error, no alarm, ...) a storage cycle that is as long as
possible (e.g. 60sec, 180sec, …) should be selected, depending on the
particular application.
In the event of an alarm or error, the storage cycle can be shortened via event
operation, with the effect that the measurement data are recorded with a high
time resolution.

26
 2 Device description
2.9 Read-out of data
In addition to automatic read-out via the external CompactFlash memory card,
measurement data can also be read out through one of the interfaces (RS232,
RS485, setup, Ethernet).
Both read-out options (card/interface) work in parallel. For this reason, there
are also two “digital 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 ➔ Memory upload can be used to determine
which storage space indication should be shown in the status line. The “digital
signals” for storage space detection function independently of the indication in
the status line.

Digital signals IntMemAlm/CF

If this signal is set, it means that no data have been fetched by the CF card for
a long time, and the available capacity of the internal memory has fallen below
the configured level.
IntMemAlm/ser
If this signal is set, it means that no data have been fetched by the interface for
a long time, and the available capacity of the internal memory has fallen below
the configured level.
MemAlmCFcard
If this signal is set, it means that not enough space is avialable on the CF card.
The program PCA3000 can help here. Use PCA3000 to read in the data, save
them to the hard disk on a network, and free up the space on the CF card.
Alternatively, you can use a new CF card.

Data lost A loss of data is only imminent if all three of the above signals are set.

Read-out via Use the PCA Communications Server software (PCC) to read out
interface measurement data via the serial, setup or Ethernet interface. The software has
been developed especially for the paperless recorder.
v Please refer to the Operating Manual B 70.9702.0 for further information.

H Use the same archive (in the PC) for reading out via the interface
as for reading out with the CF card. This saves having to put
together data from different files at a later date.

2.10 Evaluating data

Please use the PC Evaluation Software (PCA3000) for evaluating the data on
the PC. The software has been developed especially for the paperless
recorder.
v Please refer to the Operating Manual B 70.9701.0 for further information.

2.11 Webserver
If the paperless recorder is equipped with the extra code 008 “Ethernet inter-
face”, and the device-internal Ethernet software (“Ethernet version“) has the
number 183.02.03 or higher, then the paperless recorder has an inbuilt web-
server. The webserver can be started by entering the IP address in an Internet
browser on the PC (e.g. http://10.10.90.45).
Device name
Analog channels
Counters / integrators
Event traces

The variables that are shown are acquired and displayed automatically by the
webserver. The latest data are read out of the instrument every 5 seconds. Any
limit infringements show a red background. A maximum of 6 channels (analog
or math channels), up to 6 counters or integrators, and a maximum of 6 event

v Chapter 3.7 “Device info”

H Only 1 PC (client) at a time can access the device (server) via the
Ethernet interface.

Since the paperless recorder is only polled by the Internet browser every 5 se-
conds, it is possible that, for instance, the PCC data transfer software takes
over control of the paperless recorder during this interval. After securing the da-
ta, PCC will end access to the recorder, so that the Internet browser can read
out data again.

Example:
A sensor covers temperatures from 200 to 300°C.
It is built into a tunnel oven so unfavorably that it always indicates
10°C less than the temperature of the oven contents. The incorrect
measurement can be corrected through fine calibration.

5.6 Data transfer from and to the instrument
There are two ways of transferring the setup data to or from a recorder:
- transfer via the CompactFlash memory card and
- transfer via interface.

H A new configuration will delete the data in the instrument (FLASH

memory). If you want to retain the data, then the function
CompactFlash card ➔ Update CF card must be started, or the
data must be read out with the PCA communications software
(PCC) before the configuration is transmitted.

5.6.1 Transfer via CompactFlash memory card

In order to be able to read or write to CompactFlash memory cards from a PC,
you will need a card reader/writer.
When you have installed the card reader/writer, and have inserted a
CompactFlash memory card, you will automatically have a new drive under
Windows. You can access the new drive just like a normal hard disk, using
Windows Explorer.

A
CompactFlash memory cards must only be removed from the card
reader/writer if the function “Eject removable medium” (a function
in the PC operating system) has been activated first.

H Only one configuration file can be saved to the CF card at any

time, since there is no file name as a variable.
Measurement data from several instruments can be on the same
CF card, since they have unambiguous identifications.

86
 5 Setup program
Paperless You can use the paperless recorder to write setup data to the CompactFlash
recorder memory card, or to read from it.

Import/export errors
If an error occurs on the paperless recorder side during transfer from or to a
CF card, it will be indicated in the CompactFlash card menu and will remain
until the error has been eliminated or is overwritten by a fresh error message.

7.1 PC evaluation software (PCA3000)

H Operating Instructions B 70.9701.0 describe PCA300 in detail.

PCA3000 is the professional evaluation software for data-analysis of the archived

instrument process data.

PCA3000 is the ideal software for the best-quality graphic and alphanumeric
display of electronically stored measurement data. The software supports
multi-user functionality, so that different users can access the same data.
PCA3000 runs under Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Data storage The life-cycle archive data structure enables on-demand saving and
archiving of all process data, clearly and simply, in a single file.

Data backup Archive data can be read out and visualized directly from a CD-ROM or DVD (a
transfer to the hard disk is not necessary).

Data export Data export at the HTML level, or as an ASCII text file (for evaluation in Excel).

Communication The data transfer program PCC (communications software) is perfectly

matched to PCA3000, and enables the comfortable read-out of data through
the interface, using RS232/ RS422, Ethernet, a modem, or through the setup
interface.

113
7 PC programs
7.2 PCA communications software (PCC)

H PCC is described in detail in the

Operating Instructions B 70.9702.0.

PCC is the professional archive software: it transfers the data via an inerface
(setup, serial or Ethernet) from the recorder (or several recorders and
controllers), and deposits them on a PC or a network.

10.1 Installation notes
k The choice of cable, the installation and the electrical connection must
conform to the requirements of VDE 0100 “Regulations on the
Installation of Power Circuits with Nominal Voltages below 1000V” or the
appropriate local regulations.
k Work inside the instrument must only be carried out to the extent
described and, like the electrical connection, only by qualified personnel.
k The instrument must be disconnected on both poles from the electrical
supply if contact with live parts is possible while work is carried out.
k Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) conforms to the standards and
regulations cited in the technical data.
v Data Sheet 70.6510
k Run input, output and supply cables separately and not parallel to one
another.
k All input and output cables without connection to the mains supply must
be arranged as twisted and screened cables. Earth the screen on the
instrument side to the earth potential.
k Earth the instrument at the PE terminal to the protective earth conductor.
This cable must have the same cross-section as that used for the supply
cables. Earthing cables must be wired in a star configuration to a
common earth point that is connected to the protective earth conductor
of the electrical supply. Do not loop earthing cables, i.e. do not run them
from one instrument to another.
k Do not connect any additional loads to the supply terminals of the
instrument.
k The device is not suitable for use in areas with an explosion hazard
(Ex areas).
k Inductive loads close to the instrument, such as contactors or solenoid
valves, should have RC modules fitted for interference suppression.
k The instrument must be provided with external fusing and disconnection.
Depending on the supply voltage, the following fuse values apply for the
external fusing:
