    Chapter 6 RS-485 Because the RS-485 standard is found in various configurations, check the Troubleshooting following configuration options: 1. Check the RS-485 settings via the front panel of the 475 Controller. If there is no response, check the address of the Controller. Be sure the baud rate, bus type, transceiver mode, and parity match the requirements of the host computer or terminal.
  • Page 95: Chapter 7 Diagnostics

    Chapter 7 Diagnostics The 475 has diagnostic functions to help determine if critical areas are operating correctly. Some diagnostic functions are continuously running and some require user interaction. The Analog/Digital Converter (A/D) and the Analog Output are monitored continuously for errors. Figure 7-1 Diagnostics Flow Chart Figure 7-2...
  • Page 96: Continuous Diagnostics

    Chapter 7 Continuous The External A/D and the Analog Output are both monitored by the A/D Diagnostics onboard the microcontroller automatically. Discrepancies are reported to the user through the errors "ADBAD" and "AOBAD". Diagnostics Requiring User-interactive diagnostics can be accessed through the front panel, the User Interaction RS-232 interface, or the RS-485 interface.
  • Page 97: Convectron Gauge Simulator

    Diagnostics Convectron Gauge The 475 has an in-circuit Convectron Gauge Simulator that can be used for Simulator self-diagnostics or system setup. The simulator is controlled by a PWM-controlled voltage source similar to the Analog Output. It is calibrated in the same manner as the Analog Output. Changing the voltage of the simulator forces the Bridge Amplifier to change the voltage across a resistor network - effectively simulating a Series 275 gauge.
  • Page 98: Analog Output Tests

    Chapter 7 display and analog outputs can be set to a specific pressure, and the system process controller pressure input calibrated to match the pressure display of the 475 Controller. The voltage displayed during the simulation mode is the bridge voltage of the Convectron Gauge and not the analog output voltage from the 475 Controller.

    Service Representative will advise you if the hazardous materials document is required. When returning a products to Granville-Phillips, be sure to package the products to prevent shipping damage. Circuit boards and modules separated from the gauge assembly must be handled using proper anti-static protection methods and must be packaged in anti-static packaging.

    Service and Maintenance Convectron Gauge The small diameter sensor wire can be damaged by even small voltages. Do Test Procedure not perform electrical continuity tests with instruments applying in excess of 0.1 V when the gauge is at vacuum, or 2 V when at atmospheric pressure. The Convectron gauge should show the resistances listed in Figure 8-1 (pin numbers are embossed on the gauge cable connector).
