Manual DIATRON 2200 Introduction 1.1 General information The DIATRON2200 column gauge is an electronic gauge for connecting 1 to 4 inductive probes (on request also other modules are available). The column gauge allows the manual or automatic selec- tion of 1 to 4 gauges, including static and dynamic meas- uring programmes and the optional selection (grading) of workpieces in up to 30 classes.

Manual DIATRON 2200 Getting started 2.1 Delivered items Column gauge, base with 4 screws ( M3x8 ) for fixing, instruction manual, programming card, and a 2.0 mm Allen key. Further accessories, such as measuring controllers, power supply modules, measurement modules, foot switches, or adaptors according to shipping order.
Manual DIATRON 2200 A DIATRON2200 column gauge that comprises modules is configured in a fixed order. If one single DIATRON2200 is to be configured, the power supply model ( 1 ) always has to be fitted first, followed by the measuring controller module ( 2 ) and then finally ( starting with no. 3 ) the measuring and interface modules in no fixed order.
Manual DIATRON 2200 2.3.3 Fitting modules into the DIATRON2200 column gauge Once the modules have been connected, they are slid into the DIATRON2200 column section as a package from the top and are then screwed to the column base using both cross-recessed screws.
Manual DIATRON 2200 About the bus terminator : The purpose of the bus terminator is to terminate the bus lines electrically, to seal the open port, and to provide information on the function and the power supply of the column gauge.
Manual DIATRON 2200 2.5 Connecting several column gauges Adapter cables are utilized to connect several column gauges. The adapter cables fulfil two tasks : 1.) Transferring the supply voltage from the first column gauge to the next. One power supply module can supply power to a maximum of 3 column gauges, depending on the connected probes, sensors and measuring instruments.
Manual DIATRON 2200 Example 2 : connecting 5 column gauges The five column gauges are linked together via four adapter cables. The cables are always fitted in the bottom positions, as shown in the illustration. The measurement inputs are passed on from the thinner adapter section towards the thicker adapter section.
Manual DIATRON 2200 2.7 Connecting a foot or hand switch The foot or hand switches are connected to the Sub-D ports Ft1 and Ft2 of the measuring controller. A third switch input is available, if an foot or hand switch is used. The foot or hand switch can be added at any place behind of the.
Manual DIATRON 2200 2.9 Connecting a PC, multiplexer or statistic printer A PC , a multiplexer or a statistic printer can be connected at the rear panel of the ( COM 1… 8, USB ) column gauge via the RS232 Sub-D port of the measuring controller.
Manual DIATRON 2200 2.11 Connection of probes, sensors and measuring instruments The modular design in conjunction with the measuring and interface modules makes it possible to connect virtually any probe, sensor or measuring instrument to the column gauge. A maximum of 8 measurement inputs can be handled by the DIATRON2200.
