  • Page 19: Shunt Calibration

    The LCI-90 provides a method for “shunt calibration” of a load cell or load pin. The sensor must have an internal relay that connects a precision resistor across one leg of the bridge. The LCI-90 uses the Opto 4 output module to energize this relay. Shunt Calibration Connections...

  • Page 20: Serial Communications

    Figure 4.17 – Isolated Analog Output Hookup – 2 Channels 4.1.7 Serial Communications The LCI-90 provides both RS-232 and RS-485 serial communication options with a maximum of two ports. The base model has no serial ports. A RS-232 network port can be added for data logging to a single remote device in close proximity.

  • Page 21: Wiring Hookup - Lci-90R Remote Display

    A LCI-90R remote can be used to independently display (and optionally echo) all the line variables measured by a LCI-90. The LCI-90R does not support field I/O and thus has a much reduced wiring and configuration specification compared to the LCI-90. This sec- tion describes the wiring and other options associated with the LCI-90R.

  • Page 22: Lci-90R Communication Ports

    4.2.2 LCI-90R communication ports The LCI-90R provides two serial communication ports on TB2, the network and the auxiliary ports. The connection to the LCI-90 is made via the network port, which is factory configured as either RS-232 (standard) or RS-485 (optional). The RS-232 configuration is suitable when the LCI-90 is connected to a single LCI-90R remote within 50 feet.

  • Page 23: Display Brightness Adjustment

    The display brightness on the HT model can be varied by using the rear panel DIP switches (SW-5 on the LCI-90, SW-2 on the LCI-90R) to change the scan rate, or by adjusting the rotary potentiometer (also on the rear panel) marked DISP. The DIP switch settings are described in Appendix B.

  • Page 24: Local Display Operation

    Measurement Technology NW LCI-90 Operator Manual Page 24 Local Display Operation Front Panel Identification The LCI-100 front panel, shown in Figure 5.1, features a high visibility display and a five- button keypad. Each key has a label at the bottom of the screen that identifies its function.

  • Page 25: Programming Menu

    Page 25 Programming Menu The LCI-90 is user programmable via the front panel keypad and the display. Programming options include selection of input/output signal ranges, setting screen displays and formats, defining alarm points, and calibrating the unit. The menu tree is shown below in Figure 5.2.

  • Page 26: Alarms

    Figure 5.2 – LCI 90 Menu Tree Alarms The LCI-90 provides the user with up to six optional visual alarms that can be configured to indicate high and low conditions of Tension, Payout, and line Speed. Each alarm can be assigned to any of the three measured variables, and can be designated as a high or low alarm.

  • Page 27: Acknowledging Alarms

    This alarm configuration menu is covered in Section 5.3.3. In addition to these six high-level alarms, the LCI-90 can be configured to monitor each analog input channel, watching for a low-level fault condition. This is particularly useful with multiple input configurations, where the failure of a single sensor might not be easily noticed.

  • Page 36: Payout Calibration

    Payout Scale = Number of Targets / Sheave Circumference The LCI-90 expects to receive pulses generated by a pair of offset sensors that see the targets in sequence (or quadruture pulses generated by a shaft encoder). The quadra- ture signal allows the count to increment or decrement depending on the direction of motion.

  • Page 37: Display Configuration

    Page 37 5.10 Display Configuration The LCI-90 allows the user to change the display position of the three line variables on the RUN Screen, change the units of measure, and the number of decimal places.

    “Opto Modules”, which can then be wired to set off an external alarm. Since the LCI-90 can have up to four (4) such modules, the possible output options (Item 3) are: SCREEN, SCR+OP1, SCR+OP2, … SCR+OP4. More than one alarm can be assigned to the same module, but keep in mind that Input Check errors (§6.3.2) always turn on OP1 and the Shunt Cal feature (§5.6) always uses OP4.

  • Page 46: Local/Remote Operation Modes

    POLLED Item 1 Selects LOCAL, REM-A or REM-B modes of operation. REM-A and REM-B modes turn the LCI-90 into a remote display, receiving data through the network communication port, rather than field sensors. See Section 7.0 for details. Item 2 This item only appears when units are set to LOCAL mode. Selecting this item, changing it to YES, and pressing RUN downloads the entire set of configuration parameters to all REM-B units attached to the Network port.

When a LCI-90 is set as REM-A, it will not accept configuration information from a LOCAL display; it is only configured from the keypad and menu. REM-B displays (also called "Blind Remotes") mimic the operating mode of the LCI-90R, which has no buttons and can only be configured from a LOCAL unit.

    Carriage Return (ASCII 13). Thus if the AUX port is connected to a "Terminal Emulator" program running on a PC (for example "HyperTerm"), just hitting the Enter key will cause the LCI-90 to send a data string. Similarly, a data-logging system only needs to send a "blank line" to get a response.

    (including the Alarm settings) in a manner that differs from the Local unit. Setting up a REM-A display is completely straight-forward: simply use the Keypad keys as described for the Local LCI-90, but be sure to set Item 1 of the 4.4 SERIAL CONFIGURATION menu to REM-A.

  • Page 51: Blind Remotes - Rem-B

    Blind Remote displays (LCI-90R) have the same display and communications hardware found in the LCI-90, but lack a front panel keypad. This means that they can only be con- figured by connecting them to a LCI-90 Local display, or, per request, by the Supplier.
