Texmate Tiger 320 GI-50T Manual

A powerful, intelligent, 5-digit Programmable Meter Controller (PMC)
with modular outputs, input signal conditioning and advanced software
features for monitoring, measurement, control and communication applications.

General Features

• The Tiger 320 Operating System supports an easy to use
PC based Configuration Utility Program (which can be
downloaded FREE from the Texmate website) and pro-
gramming from front panel buttons.
• The T Version supports custom macro programs that can
be easily produced with the Tiger 320 Macro Development
System (available FREE on the Texmate website). The
Development System enables programs to be written in
BASIC, which can utilize any combination of the hundreds
of functions and thousands of registers embedded in the
Tiger 320 Operating System.
• Red, green, or superbright red 7-segment, 1" high LEDs
with full support for seven segment alphanumeric text.
• Brightness control of LED display from front panel buttons.
• Modular construction with more than 120 interchangeable
input signal conditioners and more than 25 interchangeable
I/O modules.
• Up to 4 input channels with cross channel math for
multi-channel processing.
• For applications where sensor excitation is required,
modules are provided with 5V, 10V or 24 V DC
voltage outputs.
• On demand tare, calibration and compensation can be ini-
tiated by the front panel program button.
• Autozero maintenance for super stable zero reading is pro-
vided for use in weighing applications.
• Programmable input averaging and smart digital filtering for
quick response to input signal changes.
• Display text editing.
OEM applications.
• Scrolling display text messaging on T meters with macros.
• Auto-sensing high voltage or optional low voltage AC / DC
power supply.

• Serial output options include RS-232, RS-485, ModBus or
direct meter-to-meter communications.
• Single or dual 16-bit Isolated Analog Outputs. Programmable
0~4 to 20mA or 0 to 10V for retransmission, 4-20mA loops
to drive valve actuators, remote controllers & displays, multi-
loop feedback and PID output. Scalable from 1 count to full
scale.
• Dual independent totalizers to integrate input signals.
• 6 super smart, independently programmable setpoints
with 8 selectable functions, including latching, deviation,
hysteresis, register resetting, tracking and dual PID. Plus 7
programmable timer modes on all 6 setpoints.
• Setpoint tracking, setpoint latching and manual relay reset.
• Setpoints activated from any input, any register in the meter
or from any digital input.
• Plug-in I/O modules include electromechanical or solid state
relays, logic outputs or open collector outputs. 6 inputs & 16
outputs of opto-isolated I/O can be connected to an external
DIN Rail terminal block module.
• Internal program safety lockout switch to prevent tampering.
• Peak & valley (max & min) with front panel recall and reset.
• Real time clock with 15 year Lithium battery backup.
• Data logging within the meter (up to 4000 samples with
date/time stamp).
• Optional NEMA-4 front cover.
• UL Listed
