New
Series of |
 |
 |
Each compact 5D module is a self-contained, easily configurable, physically hardened instrument. With pluggable screw-terminal connectors for easy installation and I/O field wiring, it can be used as an individual or "in-line" signal conditioner, or can reside in a host device to complete an effective, economical front-end solution. Gain, phase, excitation, filters, zero-span, and other critical conditioner characteristics are programmable per application, making the 5D Series adaptable to a wide range of sensors with minimal module selection required. |

Series General
Description [Back
]
|
Connecting directly to its source sensor via simple pinout, each 5D module powers, conditions, isolates, filters, and scales its sensor's analog signal to a standardized 5-V or 10-V level, making it usable as high-quality input to a PC, PLC, or other device for further processing, display, recording, etc. Every standard and "S" Option 5D module delivers filtered analog output of ±0 to 5 VDC, while the corresponding "V" model produces ±0 to 10 VDC.
Two independent high-level, noise-free analog outputs
For
all standard 5D models, one
output signal is continuously
available, while the other may be switched on and off by setting the logic state
of an "enable" line (thus eliminating the need for an external
multiplexer in multiple-module applications). For all "V"
and "S" versions, both output signals are continuously available. Each output is a true
analog signal path, with no digital time lag involved. With
independently selectable low-pass analog filtering, separate outputs can be used for
simultaneous local calibration/metering and high-speed data
acquisition sampling.
High output accuracy over a wide temperature range
The
traditional Daytronic benchmark for measurement accuracy (0.02% of full scale
typical) meets or exceeds the competition, guaranteeing repeatable
sensor signal integrity for amazingly stable readout and solidly
dependable control action, even in the most electrically noisy environments (see individual 5D model
specifications). Remote sense for long-cable applications yields true
ratiometric measurements regardless of cable length. Software-based SYMMETRY
and MIDRANGE LINEARITY corrections of the output signal further compensate
for intrinsic sensor/cable errors.
A Simple, Flexible Mechanical Interface
A
5D module's extruded-aluminum case has guides for insertion into a
housing. It also provides an edge screw boss for securing the unit
independently to a fixture or clipping it to a European DIN standard 35-mm rail
(the mounting holes are spaced to accommodate the standard JIT Component "JSDA"
clip, available from Daytronic). Or it can be plugged into a "motherboard" backplane
assembly (such as a Daytronic "5DMB") for multiplexing into an
analog input device, via its Analog/Power/Communications Connector (standard DB25
or alternative screw-terminal).

Shown below is a generalized diagram of a "network" of one to sixteen individual 5D modules, including the PC being used for module configuration and the network power supply. For opening single-point communications between a host computer or other device and individual network modules, see the description of the OPEN (OPN) software command. When an array of 5D modules is installed in a Daytronic "5DMB" backplane unit like the Model 5DMB-16 described below, all module interconnections are automatically established. Individual modules can be quickly identified and located through the special QUERY MODULE ID (QID) command and the logic "enable" function. Each module's status indicator light announces its present communications / input status at a glance.
|
|
|
For every "V-" or "S-version" 5D model, a 10-pin header for a Phoenix Style screw-terminal connector replaces the standard DB25 connector for the module's power, configuration, logic, and analog output wiring. Ensuring secure cable connections to individual 5D modules, this option is intended primarily for single-point or single-mount module applications. Since the logic "enable" line is not provided in this case, both analog outputs are continuously available for all "V" and "S" models. |

Configuration Software Makes Short Work of Module Setup
Communicating via RS232 link, the 5D Configurator software lets you define, store, edit, download, upload, and manage any number of "configurations" for a connected array of up to 16 independent 5D modules. It also lets you perform selected run-time operations, including both "absolute" and "two-point" calibration, sending standard mnemonic commands to a specific module, and activating a shunt calibration resistor (if present).
