    3. General 3. GENERAL Congratulations for buying this innovative ALMEMO ® data logger. By means of the patented ALMEMO ® connectors the device configures itself and with the help of menus and help windows the operation should not be too difficult. How- ever, the device allows the connection of a great variety of sensors and peri- pherals with many special functions.

  • Page 9: Special Notes On Use

    2690-8 is a new instrument from the unique ® ® product range of measuring devices that are all equipped with the ALMEMO connector system, which has been patented by Ahlborn GmbH. The intelligent ® ALMEMO connector provides important advantages with regard to the con- nection of sensors and peripherals as all parameters are stored in an EEP- ROM within the connector.
  • Page 10: Functions

    5. Introduction ® can be connected to all ALMEMO measuring devices in the same way. The operation and programming is identical with all units. Therefore, all of the AL- ® MEMO measuring system items listed below are described, in detail, in a sep- ®...
  • Page 11 Functions data from other sensors is easily possible by using the voltage, current and resistance ranges with individual scaling in the connector. Existing sensors can ® be used without problems. Only the corresponding ALMEMO connector has to be connected using its terminals. Furthermore, there are adapter connectors with an own microcontroller for digital signals and for measuring frequencies ®...

    5. Introduction Sensor Locking All sensor data stored in the EEPROM of the connector can be protected against undesired access by means of a graded locking function. 5.1.2 Measurement A total of up to 20 meas. channels are available for 5 transducers, i.e. it is also possible to evaluate double sensors, individually scaled sensors, or sensors with function channels.
  • Page 13: Process Flow Control

    Functions 5.1.3 Process flow control A continuous measuring point scan with a time-based process flow control for the output of measuring valures is required to register the measuring data of all connected sensors. For this purpose, an output cycle is available and, if fast processing is required, the conversation rate is available.

If, however, the power supply has to be electrically isolated from the transducers or if a larger input voltage range (10 to 30 V) is required, then electrically isolated supply cable ZA2690-UK (250 mA) or -UK2 (1 A) must be used.

    8. Connection of the Transducers 8. CONNECTION OF THE TRANSDUCERS ® ® Any ALMEMO sensors can be connected to the ALMEMO input sockets M0 to M4 of the measuring instrument (1). For connecting existing sensors it is ® only necessary to connect a corresponding ALMEMO connector.
  • Page 19: Isolation

    Measuring inputs and Additional Channels Advantage of the device-internal channels: If several sensors are being used for the same application, they do not have to be reprogrammed and can be freely exchanged without losing their function channels. If, however, the whole application operates with just one sensor, then programming in the sensor it- self makes more sense.

Electrically isolated A/D converter (option GT) With option OA2690-GT the analog inputs downstream from the A/D converter are also electrically isolated from the device itself and from the power supply by means of optocouplers.
