DSA3217 - Digital Out Module The DSA3217 - Digital Output Module is a special version of the DSA3217. It incorporates a special section to provide five digital outputs. The condition of the outputs are controlled by a Digital Output Command in the DSA3200 software.
Digital I/O Connections The DSA3217 - Digital Output Module has a maximum of five(5) Digital Outputs. The Digital Outputs are powered directly by the DC input voltage input. It is recommended that the user supply be capable of providing sufficient current drive for the DSA3217 and the Digital Outputs. Each Digital Output requires approximately 500 mA @ 24 Vdc.
DSA3217 - Individual Reference Module The DSA3217 - Individual Reference Module is another special version of the DSA3217. It incorporates a reference tube for each input. The reference inputs are not “valved”, that is, these inputs are not switched during transitions of the control valves. The control valve logic is identical to a standard DSA3217.
POWER REQUIREMENTS DSA3017/3217/3018/3218 The DSA3017/3217 requires 28±8Vdc at approximately 8 W. This will remain constant while the module is operating normally. The DSA3018/3218 requires 28±8Vdc at approximately 8 W. The power requirements for these modules increase to 28±8Vdc at approximately 35 W if the optional heater is installed. The power requirements will drop when the module reaches the normal operating temperature.
EXTERNAL TRIGGER REQUIREMENTS The Digital Sensor Array scan functions may be synchronized with other data acquisition devices by using the external trigger. DSA 3017/3018 Modules The 3000 Series Modules may be triggered by a hardware trigger. The external trigger input is optically isolated to prevent grounding problems.
RS 232 COMMUNICATIONS Every DSA3200 Series Module has an RS 232 output. It is available at the Serial Communications/Trigger Connector. It is designed to be used to configure the module, upload coefficients and operating system upgrades, and provide emergency communications. The wiring of the RS 232 output is shown in figure 10. NOTE: The cable wiring must connect the Tx output from the host computer to the Rx input of the DSA module.
A straight through cable must be used if the module is connected to a hub. Crossover connections are used if the module is connected directly to the host computer. It is recommended that shielded Category 5 cable be used for 10Base-T cables. Figure 10 - DSA 3000 Series 10Base-T cables...
CONTROL VALVES The Digital Sensor Array does not require control pressures for normal operation. It does require control pressures if a multipoint or quick zero calibration is to be performed. Truth tables are different for each module type. Standard Modules Pneumatic Inputs Pneumatic inputs consist of: 16 - Px Inputs, Control Pressure Inputs, and Calibration/Reference Inputs.
Figure 12. The operation of the Quick Zero Calibration is described in the Special Procedures section on pages 34 and 35 of this manual. Scanivalve Corp recommends that a Quick Zero Calibration (CALZ) is performed daily, any time the temperature of the module varies more than 3°C or before any test is performed.
Pneumatic inputs consist of: 16 - Px Inputs, Control Pressure Inputs, and Calibration Inputs. All DSA 3017/3217 Px inputs are .063 inch bulged tubulations. These tubulations are designed to accept any .063 inch tubing manufactured by Scanivalve Corp. DSA 3018/3218 Px inputs are 1/8 inch Swagelok fittings.
Quick Baro Calibration The Quick Zero Calibration cannot be performed on an absolute DSA module. Using CALZ command will move the zero to barometric (14.7 psia typical). In order to zero an absolute DSA module, a CALB command (performs a baro zero) to make the minor corrections that may be necessary to maintain the Digital Sensor Array accuracy.
Isolate-Purge Mode Procedure Set the internal valve to the Calibrate mode . Set the Calibrator(s) to the Zero Mode. If Scanivalve Corp Calibrator modules are being used, Steps 1 and 2 can be implemented by setting the Calibrator module(s) to the Cal Zero mode using the CALZ command.
PNEUMATIC INTERFACE PANELS DSA 3017 The DSA 3017/3217 modules use a pneumatic interface panel to connect the pressure inputs to the module. This panel acts as a splash plate to protect the module from liquids. The plates are fitted with 1/16 inch tubulations for the Px and control inputs. Figure 16 shows the panels used on the DSA 3017 modules.

Splash Plate Removal and Re-Installation DSA 3017/3217 modules are furnished with a splash plate to protect the module from moisture. The splash plate has a formed gasket on the bottom side which seals the edges of the top of the module.
The calibration valves are included so a customer can perform a calibration or a data validity check. The valves do not require any special maintenance by a user. They should not be disassembled by a user that has not completed training at the Scanivalve Factory.

It is very important that the user be very familiar with this procedure before attempting to replace a sensor. For more information or assistance, contact: Scanivalve Corp, Product Support Department at (800) 935-5151. Please refer to figures 23, 24 and 25.
DSA3017/3018 Firmware Replacement Replacement of the Firmware chip should only be required if the DSA firmware is upgraded. It is not expected that this chip might fail in normal use. When software upgrades are available, customers will be notified by mail or FAX. Upgraded software will only be made available to customers when requested.
Firmware replacement or upgrade in DSA3217/3218 modules is by RS232. Please refer to the DSA3200 Series Software Specification for a procedure and RS232 connection information. Notification of possible upgrades will be available on the Scanivalve Corp website. All upgrade software will be sent from the Scanivalve Corp factory.
DSA 3017/3217 Pneumatic Jumpering for “QUICK ZERO” The DSA 3017/3217 series modules permit the use of the “quick zero” function even if the module is being used in a stand alone mode. This is made possible by connecting CTL1, CTL2, and RTN. This pneumatic jumper permits a quick zero without applying external control pressure logic.

DSA 3018/3218 Operations for Freon Applications When using DSA 3018/3218 modules in Freon Applications special considerations must be taken. In order to prevent premature deformation of the seals within the DSA 3018/3218's valve, it is important to leave the module in the following ‘dormant’ state. •...
NETWORK CONFIGURATION The DSA may be configured in three basic network arrangements: - Isolated - Integrated - Sub-network with gateway Isolated Network The isolated DSA network provides the fastest possible data throughput because other network traffic has been eliminated. DSA commands are issued from the network client/host and data is directed to the network client/host in UDP format.
PC-OPC Server Scanivalve Corp. has written a OPC Server driver to interface a PC running in an OPC environment to a DSA module. This program is designed to operate in Windows 2000 or Windows XP. PC-Windows HyperTerminal HyperTerminal is a Windows program.
DSA NETWORK ADDRESSING Each DSA module has the capability to accept commands in Unicast (only one DSA accepts command) Each DSA module has a unique, factory set, 48 bit physical Ethernet address. When running TCP/IP protocol the DSA modules support ARP (address resolution protocol) to enable the client/host to determine the relationship between the IP address and the Ethernet address.
