    Mounting Wiring ATTENTION If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by Honeywell, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired. 2.1 Installing optional DSU software If your instrument is equipped with the optional 120MB or Zip disk drive, you should have received a floppy disk containing DSU.EXE, the Data Storage Utility.

  • Page 32: Location

    Installation 2.3 Location Install the instrument in a control panel located in a control room or in a relatively clean factory environment. It should not be installed in offices or residential locations. The front of the instrument is gasketed and will provide reasonable protection from dust and moisture when properly installed in a panel.
  • Page 33 Installation Mounting adjacent instruments (VPR100 & VRX100) •Horizontal – For closest spacing horizontally, spacing of 7 mm (0.28”) will provide zero clearance between bezels of adjacent instruments. For applications where instruments will be opened frequently for access to floppy disk, increase this spacing slightly to avoid the possibility of adjacent instruments touching when opening or closing.

  • Page 40: Table 2-7 Recommended Minimum Wire Size

    Installation General Wiring Recommendations In general, use stranded copper wire for non-thermocouple electrical connections. Keep in mind that the maximum load resistance for many process instruments includes the interconnecting wire. Separation of low level and high level wiring is recommended. Twisted signal pairs and shielded cable will improve noise immunity if wire routing is suspect.

  • Page 41: Figure 2-6 Analog Input Wiring Connections

    Installation Analog Input Connections See Table 1-1 Specifications for acceptable voltage and current signal inputs. Connect current and voltage inputs to the appropriately labeled terminals as in Figure 2-5. CAUTION Safety isolation exceeding the safe working level of 30 V RMS (42.4 V peak) is not provided between analog inputs.

  • Page 42: Figure 2-7 Cat Or Vat Wiring Connection

    Installation Analog Output Connections Analog outputs may be Current Output (CAT), Voltage Output (VAT), Time Proportion Output (DAT) or Position Proportional Type (PP). For CAT or VAT wiring, see Figure 2-7. For DAT wiring, use general purpose output relays or open collector outputs. For Position Proportional wiring, see Figure 2-10. See Discrete Output Connections.

    Installation Discrete Output Connections The instrument has the following discrete output types. • Mechanical relay • Solid state AC/DC • Open collector Make connections according to Figure 2-10. See Table 1-1 Specifications for output signal specifications (switch characteristics) for output circuit card modules.

  • Page 44: Figure 2-11 Position Proportional Typical Wiring

    Installation Position Proportional output connections Position Proportional type controls require two analog inputs (PV, Slidewire), two discrete outputs (INC, DEC) and one analog output (Slidewire Power). The analog output must be a voltage type (VAT) programmed to provide a constant 1 V to power the slidewire feedback. See Section 3.13 for sample PP feedback configuration.

During a ramp segment, each time RAMP INCREMENT changes from OFF to ON, the profiler output incrementally changes by the amount specified in the ramp segment’s TIME (in units of the PV). When RAMP INCREMENT changes from ON to OFF, the profiler output soaks at its present value.

Capacitive and inductive coupling Capacitive and inductive coupling have the same essential effect — they couple current or voltage, without any actual connection of the two circuits.

    Appendix B B.3 Prevention Methods Introduction There are three ways to prevent electrical noise from interfering with the operation of the electronic digital equipment. • Built-in noise rejection • Separation of signal and power lines • Noise suppression at source Built-in noise rejection The first method is to design the digital equipment with a high degree of noise rejection built in.

Attempts to operate outside the specified limits will result in no performance. For those installations where the supply voltage will not stay within the specified limits, a ferroresonant transformer, for voltage resolution, should be used.

  • Page 315: Noise Suppression At The Source

    Appendix B B.6 Noise Suppression at the Source Introduction Generally speaking, when good wiring practices are used with well- designed digital electronic equipment, no further noise protection is necessary. However, in some severe electrical environments, the magnitude of the electrical noise is so great that it must be suppressed at the source. In most control cabinets, the main sources of noise are motor starters, contactors, relays, and switching gear.
