Pakscan IIE System Manual Integral type field control units mounted within a Rotork actuator electrical housing such as the IQ, IQT or Q range actuator. Externally mounted field control unit. Various packages are available, including 'Pakbox', weather-proof box, or rack mounting. The unit may be used for either actuator control applications, or for general purpose applications such as pumps, blenders etc.
Fig 4: Loopback system 5.2 Current Loop Start Up Operations The Pakscan IIE controls the current on the loop to communicate with the attached field units. Loop communication divides into two parts: configuration (when the master station decides whether the loop is complete, and if not, where the faults are), and normal operation.
Pakscan IIE System Manual 5.2.1 Loop Configuration The loop configuration phase is entered after power-up, after a loop fault is detected, or after a loop configure command is received. Configuration consists of the following steps: Wait for all the field units to go into loopback. The time is dependent on the baud rate.
5.3 Modbus Serial and Ethernet Interfaces The Pakscan IIE master station is provided with two interfaces for data exchange with external host systems. These may be a combination of one serial and one Ethernet, two serial or two Ethernet connections.

Jumpers and Links J8 – CTS Function Select for Port 2 Link 2-3 (default setting) causes the master station to ignore the RS232 CTS line on Port 2. If the link is placed in 1-2, then the connected serial device may control the output of the master station on Port 2.
Pakscan IIE System Manual Terminal 22 & 23, Terminal 24 & 25 If the master station is not part of a hot standby pair, that is, it is a single stand-alone unit then two links MUST be fitted. (A hot standby pair always includes the PS300 switch module in the centre of the rack.)
Installation and Connection INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION The master station is now ready for installation and connecting to the loop. 7.1 Mounting The master station rack should be mounted horizontally in a suitable frame or cabinet. The height of the front should be between 1.0 m and 1.7 m above the floor so that the screen may be viewed and the keys accessed.
Pakscan IIE System Manual 7.3 Field Wiring The field wiring includes the loop wires to the field units. The loop cable should have an overall electrical screen. Particular attention should be paid to the connection of the screen on this cable.
Installation and Connection 7.3.1 Screen Connections The screen terminal 14 is connected internally to the supply earth pin, and the chassis. Terminal 17 is connected to earth via a capacitor, (to meet the CE specification for EMC emission standard), or directly to earth if link LK1 for master station A or hot standby systems, or LK2 for master station B, is fitted.

Commissioning the System 13 COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS In order to fully commission the Pakscan Loop it is necessary to ensure that all the system's valves are allowed to be opened and closed. Also any ancillary devices such as pumps and stirrers must be allowed to operate.
Pakscan IIE System Manual Make sure that no two field units on the loop have the same address, and that no field unit has an address set higher than that selected as 'the highest address' - see section 9.3. When setting and checking a field unit remember that the Paktester will only communicate to one field unit at a time, the one to which it is connected.

Commissioning the System The status screen will show 'Waiting for Loopbacks 1', and be followed by 'Finding FCU A’, ‘Finding FCU B’, ‘Waiting for Loopbacks 2’, ‘Loopbacks Off A’, ‘Loopbacks Off B’ and finally ‘Loopback On’. Now press '1' to select the master station commands, followed by '4' to select the diagnostic screen. This is illustrated in section 8.7.4.
Pakscan IIE System Manual 13.3 Checking System Performance In section 9.3 it was recommended to set Baud Rate Doubling ‘OFF’. Once the loop is up and running this may be changed to 'Doubling On'. 13.3.1 Setting the Loop Driver Voltages In most systems it is not necessary to trim the loop driver card voltages to optimise the performance.

Pakscan IIE System Manual before the loop fault. The Port A, then Port B LED's, flicker during this stage. Normal scanning of a broken loop shows up as both LED's flickering, but not together. Should the setting of field unit parameters have been carried out incorrectly then the system will identify a field unit that has an address to high or duplicated with another and eliminate these from the routine data polling.
Commissioning the System The master station should now be in communication with ALL the field units at the lower speed. Repeat the whole procedure if not. In some cases individual field units may need to be reprogrammed with a Paktester or IQ Setting Tool. 13.4.4 Checking Host Communications If there are no communications between host and master station, check the diagnostic screen's 'Rx' and 'Tx' flags.
Pakscan IIE System Manual 13.6 Commissioning Aids Two handheld devices are available to aid commissioning and fault finding. The first is the Paktester, (Field Test Unit), that may be used to interrogate and control a single field unit via the 2-wire interface.
The serial number will be found on a data label on the rear of the unit. The master station type includes a code as follows: S/W Type : X X X X 01 = Pakscan IIE system = Single Unit = Hot Standby unit...
