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.

5D
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. |

The new Daytronic Model
5DMB-16
cabinet-mountable motherboard accommodates up to 16 individual 5D modules
with standard DB25 connectors,
and typically serves as a front end for a PC with a 16- or 32-channel A/D
card. With its simple "relay strip" design, the 5DMB-16
connects all power and communications lines in a single serial port, and
provides pluggable screw terminals for all module outputs.
The
8-module Model
5DMB-8
motherboard (shown in the diagram below) is also available.

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).
