Series General
Description [Back

|
Offering
a full choice of main assemblies, data displays, power supplies, signal
conditioners, analog outputs, dual-setpoint controllers, and communication
interfaces, the Daytronic 2000 Series represents a versatile, low-cost solution
to a wide range of monitoring and control applications. Advanced circuit
design and software provide performance and programming features not found in
any other instrument at this price.
There
are two main types of 2000 Series instruments: Digital Panel
Meters (DPM's) and Counter Meters.
2000
Series options include
These
rugged modular instruments ensure fast control response, true peak readings, and
high-accuracy linearized analog output. Digital scaling of zero and span
provides direct readout in engineering units.
Simple
front-panel push-button or RS232/RS485 setup lets the user customize each unit
for a specific application. Selective security lockout of the front-panel
setup protects against accidental configuration changes and simplifies use by
the operator.
The
2000 Series is designed for industrial installation. Each
unit is housed in a compact, rugged 1/8 DIN case of GE Lexan
which fits in a standard 45 x 92 mm panel cutout and requires only 107 mm (4.2
in.) behind the panel (plus connectors). The case is sealed to NEMA-4X
(IP-65) requirements from the front to allow high-pressure washdown when
panel-mounted.
All
wiring is by removable plugs conforming to IEC950 safety standards.
Standard power and signal connections are via UL/IEC/CSA-rated screw-clamp
terminals. All output options are isolated from meter and power ground by
250 V-AC minimum.
Every
instrument can be powered worldwide without changes to the supply (see Specifications).
Both the standard meter supply and the optional low-voltage supply are fully
compliant with UL/IEC/CSA safety standards.
Both supplies have isolated 5, 10, and 24 VDC excitation outputs to power
external sensors, transmitters, and up to four 350-ohm load cells. In
addition to the isolated excitation output, regulated 5 VDC at up to 50 mA is
brought out and can be used to power external logic
 
The 2000 Series' system of plug-in
circuit boards makes for exceptional flexibility and performance. In
addition to its "Main Module" (its essential microprocessor and
display boards), each 2000 Series model is equipped with a specific Power Supply
Board and Input Board for Digital Panel Meter or Counter
Meter—plus any of several field-installable OPTION
boards.

Digital
Panel Meters (DPM's) [Back

There are
specific panel meter models for
Input
signals may be displayed as voltage or current, or be scaled from the DPM front
panel to five full digits (from -99,999 to +99,999), to read directly in
engineering units such as PSI.
Dependable
Calibration
Three
calibration methods are selectable: scale and offset, two-point,
and system-level (using actual transducer signals). All ranges are
precalibrated at the factory, with calibration factors for each range stored in
nonvolatile EEPROM.
Recalibration
is therefore unnecessary when changing ranges in the field. for
temperature meters, data display in °C or °F is selectable from the front
panel.
All
versions of the DC Voltage, DC Current, Process Signal, and Strain Gage Meters
allow easy setting of scale and offset by either of two methods:
 |
With
the coordinate reading method, the meter reads the high and low
signal values, and the user enters the desired high and low reading
values. The meter then calculates the appropriate span multiplier and
offset. This method is ideal if an external calibration reference is
available. |
 |
With
the manual coordinate method, the user enters the high and low input
values in volts, plus the desired high and low reading values.
This method is suitable in the absence of an external calibration reference. |
High-Speed
A/D Conversion
A
unique Concurrent Slope A/D technique yields 60 conversions per second
(50 for 50-Hz operation), while integrating over a full cycle of the line for
maximum noise reduction. Self-calibration cycles reduce the average
reading rate only slightly, to 56 per second (47 for 50 Hz). This
exceptionally fast read rate provides an accurate display of peak signal input
and quick response in control applications.
Selectable
Signal Filtering
Data
readings and outputs can be separately selected to be either filtered or unfiltered.
 |
An
unfiltered selection updates after each conversion for fastest
response, up to 60/sec, while integrating the input signal over a full power
cycle. Fast read rate provides true peak readings and aids in control
applications. |
 |
A
batch average filter selection averages each 16 conversions for an
update every 1/4 second. |
 |
An
adaptive moving average filter selection provides a choice of 8 time
constants from 80 ms to 9.6 s. When a significant change in signal
level occurs, the filter adapts by briefly switching to the shortest time to
follow the change, and then reverts back to its selected time constant. |
 |
Another choice is Autofilter,
which automatically selects the best time constant for the existing level of
signal noise, ensuring stable displayed readings and outputs, while
responding rapidly to changes of the input signal that exceed a selected
threshold value. |
Advanced
Meter Features
The peak
value of the input can be displayed at the push of a button, or on receipt
of a control signal at the rear connector (since the last meter reset).
Other controls via the rear connector include meter hold, meter reset,
peak reset, and decimal point selection (see Specifications,
below).
Auto-tare
capability allows the display to be instantly zeroes for any input
signal. This is a standard practice in weighing applications, to subtract
out the weight of the container. The tare offset is normally achieved by
applying a switch closure or logic signal at the rear connector. The tare
value is stored in nonvolatile memory and is therefore retained on loss of
power.
"Extended"
DPM
An
optional "Extended" DPM version allows extremely accurate custom
linearization of a nonlinear input signal such as a thermistor or altimeter
reading, or the level or pressure reading of lique in an irregularly shaped
tank. It is also capable of measuring and displaying rate of change (as,
for example, in flow rate measurements). Contact
the factory for further information on this option.

Counter
Meters [Back

|
These
instruments can handle a wide range of monitoring and control applications
related to count, frequency, speed, flow rate, timing, totalizing, batching, or
position. There are specific counter meter models for
A
high-stability crystal and digital calibration of all ranges eliminate the
potentiometer-related drift that is found in most non-microcomputer-based
meters.
Fast,
Accurate Measurement
Every
counter meter determines frequency by timing an integral number of periods over
a programmable gate time, and then taking the inverse of the period.
This approach permits much greater accuracy and faster update than conventional
rate meters, which count signal pulses over a specified time interval.
At
the minimum gate time of 10 ms, an update rate as high as 25/second can be
achieved. Such fast response is ideal for peak capture and for alarm and
control applications. Variations in the displayed reading can be reduced
by selecting a longer gate time. An adaptive filter can further reduce
variations due to noise while rapidly responding to actual changes in the input
signal (see individual meters). Rate in desired
engineering units—such as liters per second—is obtained by multiplying the
input by a scale factor.
Voltage-to-Frequency
Counter
A
special two-channel "V-to-F" meters is also available, for direct
measurement and display of frequency (0 Hz to 2 MHz), rate (in
engineering units), and period (inverse of frequency). Each channel
may be independently scaled for the desired parameter. An
"extended" version of V-to-F Meter provides additional functions,
including simultaneous display of rate and total; various arithmetic operations
involving the two inputs, including ratio (A/B) and "draw" (A/B-1);
and linearization of nonlinear inputs. Contact
the factory for further information on both standard and optional functions
of the V-to-F Counter Meter.
