SSM6000 biogas analyzer. Analyzer versions "A" and "B" are currently available. Analyzers with the new hardware are marked "SSM 6000 (B)" on the rating plate and on the calibration certificate. The "B" version differs from its predecessor version in terms of connector layout and with regard to the type of inputs and outputs, for example.

The analyzer features ease of operation and a clear-cut display structure. In terms of time and frequency of use, the SSM 6000 family can draw on the largest experience of all biogas analyzers available on the market.
Gas mixtures with critical concentration relationships between methane and oxygen are flammable. Although critical gas mixtures of this kind are very rare in biogas plants, the utmost must be done in order to avoid the risk of ignition. In the SSM 6000, a detonation protection unit separates the analyzer from the biogas plant.

Navigation through the user menus is possible in setup mode via the membrane keypad (esc, up, down, enter). The setup mode is activated via the key-operated switch. Withdrawing the access key prevents manipulation by unauthorized persons. The analyzer is switched on and off via the "power" button. 800-01.06.EN SSM 6000 User Manual...
Measuring-gas filter Several filters are integrated into the gas path of the SSM 6000 in order to protect the sensors and other components of the system. The filters clean the biogas and the ambient air drawn in, thereby increasing both the service life of the sensors and the measuring precision of the system.
2.2.6 Housing rinsing The SSM 6000 additionally comes with a fan unit that discharges the heat of the measuring-gas cooler and rinses the housing with ambient air. The flow rate of the fan totals around 56 cubic meters per hour, so that the generation of a flammable gas mixture within the analyzer is safely prevented.
The solenoid valves are controlled and the measuring points selected by the SSM 6000. A measuring process can be triggered manually via the digital inputs at port 1 or the (optional) Profibus interface.
Automatic shut-off unit (option) The SSM 6000 biogas analyzer is designed for pressures of –50 < p >5 hPa at the measuring-gas input. In the case of higher admission pressures which can, for example, occur with gas motors with supercharger, biogas flows through the measuring-gas cooler even during measuring pauses due to the elevated pressure level.

In order to ensure correct measuring results within the specified tolerances, analyzers and systems must be calibrated at regular intervals. With the SSM 6000, the individual gas types are calibrated using certified calibration gases and/or calibration gas mixtures. Note that incorrect calibration leads to incorrect results during subsequent measurements! Before any service or maintenance intervention, the higher-level system (plant control system) must be notified of any such work in advance in order to avoid emergency shut-down of the motor in response to incorrect measuring values.
SSM 6000 CALIBRATION The process of calibrating the SSM 6000 consists of the following steps: Rinsing the gas ducts and pipes with ambient air in order to record the sensor zero points (steps 1 and 2) Determining the sensor sensitivity values using biogas / calibration gas (steps 3 and 4) Rinsing the system using filtered ambient air (steps 5 and 6).
After the sensor sensitivities are taken over, both gas paths of the analyzer are once again rinsed with ambient air. Completion of the calibration process must be confirmed once again. The device returns to stand-by mode on operation of the key switch. 800-01.06.EN SSM 6000 User Manual...
A leakage test can be performed by briefly kinking the biogas hose. The flow rate in the left "bypass" flowmeter should drop to zero in this case. Record the values measured in the calibration report. After measurement, the device returns to stand-by mode and starts the next measuring process depending on the AUTO/MANUAL setting. 800-01.06.EN SSM 6000 User Manual...
8 Maintenance, repair, customer service The SSM 6000 is a complex electronic measuring device and must hence be handled with care. The manufacturer is solely responsible for the original safety characteristics and features of the device. Any guarantee becomes void if the device is modified in any manner not performed or approved by the manufacturer.

Description PROFIBUS interface Introduction This technical description deals with the Profibus DP (DP Decentralized Periphery) slave interface of the SSM6000. The correct description is as follows: Profibus-DP: Compliance to IEC 61784 Ed.1:2002 CPF 3/1 Electrical transmission equipment Interface properties of the SSM6000 The SSM6000 comes with a galvanically (optically) isolated Profibus interface according to IEC61784 Ed.1:2002 CPF3/2 (formerly EN50170).
Description PROFIBUS interface Bus termination The PROFIBUS interface of the SSM6000 does not terminate the PROFIBUS at the device end. The SSM6000 does not set the open-circuit level of the bus at the device end. If this is required, the necessary measures must be implemented in the PROFIBUS connector.
Description PROFIBUS interface In the parameter data telegram, the following pattern can appear for example 1: Param. DPV1-1 DPV1-2 DPV1-3 Module parameter P1..P7 Configuration data The configuration data is transmitted in the "special format". The following example refers to CH4: 42 , 83 , 00 , 01...
Description PROFIBUS interface Cyclic mode The SSM6000 DP slave features a modular design. The data modules can be combined in any order for cyclic operation. It is not necessary to insert blank modules, and it is possible to select several modules at the same time. The only restriction is that the maximum number of inputs and outputs (as specified in the GSD file) may not be exceeded.
Description PROFIBUS interface The same error message is generated if the "Measurement" data module was selected (parameterized) for cyclic data exchange. Otherwise the output value which is output in acyclic mode would be cyclically overwritten. Write access is possible via index 2 only. Write access attempts with another index trigger the "DPV1_ERRCL_ACC_INV_INDEX" error message (error code: 0B0 DS_Write telegram: 0x5F...

Description PROFIBUS interface Data types and data format The data transmitted via the Profibus is assigned to specific data types which, for their part, are stored in a specific data format. 3.6.1 FLOAT The "float" data type is transmitted as a 32-bit float value. 4 data bytes are required for this purpose. The bytes are stored as follows: Example: Float value: 1234.56...
Description PROFIBUS interface Device address and ID number Device address The device address is used to distinguish between the different devices within a Profibus network. Each device must have a distinct address and all devices must have different addresses. Address changes via the Profibus in the "Wait-Parameter" (WPRM) state are currently not supported by the SSM6000.
