The 73VR31BLD Users Manual will guide you through the software program views and functions. Please read this manual carefully to ensure the safe use before getting started. The 73VR31BLD will help you easily and smoothly program parameters for the 73VR3100. It also enables remote setup of the 73VR3100 through Ethernet.
A PC with the 73VR31BLD installed and the 73VR3100 can communicate through Ethernet. The 73VR3100 must be setup with an IP address in advance. Please refer to the 73VR3100 Users Manual to set the IP address. n ETHERNET CABLE TYPE When connecting the PC and the 73VR3100 via a switching hub, use Straight type cables.
HOW TO START UP & EXIT Go to Programs > 73VR > 73VR31BLD, and then the 73VR3100 PC Configurator window shown in the figure below will appear. To terminate the program, press the Close button [X] on the right-top of the window.
Fahrenheit Fahrenheit 2.1.3 START MODE Choose among the following options. Cold Start At a restart, the 73VR3100 stands by showing the initial view. Hot Start At a restart, the 73VR3100 automatically starts recording. 2.1.4 DATA STORING FORM Choose among the following options.
The screensaver function is deactivated with the time set to zero (0). 2.1.7 IP ADDRESS In order to connect the 73VR3100 to a PC via Ethernet when using the 73VR31BLD (Builder), set an appropriate IP address. Enter the IP address assigned to the 73VR3100. IP address Factory default setting: 192.168.0.1...

In the remote trigger recording mode, data is automatically stored while the external trigger condition (analog or discrete input) is true. With an analog trigger, the signal are continuously compared with a preset threshold, and the 73VR3100 starts and stops recording when it is in a pre-determined condition (higher or lower than the threshold).

EVENT RECORDING In the event recording mode, the 73VR3100 detects an external event by trigger signal, and stores preset number of samples (max. 1200 respectively) before and after the moment of event. With an analog trigger, the trigger signal is continuously compared with a preset threshold, and the 73VR3100 initi- ates recording when it is in a pre-determined condition (higher or lower than the threshold).

Month-Day and Hour-Min-Sec. to start the recording and the time duration. Every Day The 73VR3100 runs recording once per day at a predefined time. Specify Hour-Min-Sec. to start the recording and the time duration. How to Set the Store-at-a-Defined-Time Mode Figure 2.2.2d.
DISPLAY SETTING The Display setting menu appears as below. Figure 2.3. Display setting. 2.3.1 CHART SPEED Choose among the options in the table below. The numbers show how many pixels are used for one sample data. For example, if you choose ‘4,’ one sample is plotted 4 pixels further than the previous one, and two sample points are connected to create a trend graph.
ERROR OUTPUT With the error output setting is enabled, the 73VR3100 outputs an alarm contact at a specified channel of the R3- DC16 module when an internal bus error continues for 1 minute or longer. Only 1 channel can be specified.
2.5.2 GROUP The maximum of 7 groups of 8 comments can be created. The 7th group is for free comment entry during recording. Use [ << ] and [ >> ] buttons to move between groups. Name Name Max. 10 characters Color A specific color is applied to each group.
Assign the R3 series modules’ channel No. to each pen. As the signal allocation is fixed as in the table below for 20 msec. storing interval, there is no need of setting Channel No. Input Pen Signal Type 73VR3100 Channel No. 1 through 8 Analog 1 through 8...
Decimal place Specify how many decimal places you want to show on the digital indicators and the scale. Choose among 0, 1, 2 and 3. Plot range with decimal place on the scale Plot range in an engineering unit can be indicated on the scale in Trend and Bargraph views. For example, when the lower range is set to 0, and the upper range is set to 1000, the scale shows 10 divisions (0, 100, 200, ...

To disable the resetting by trigger input, specify None. • Reset by analog input Click the right arrow to choose between Value < Threshold and Value ≤ Threshold. To disable the resetting by analog input, specify None.
You can apply specific colors to represent each zone divided by the limits for use in the Display views. Use the color palette. NOTE 256 colors are used in the 73VR3100. If you choose a color out of this, it may not be represented accurately on the 73VR3100 screen. Output (4) Alarm contact outputs can be provided to the alarm output terminal Choose Enable to activate an relay output.

Trend and Bargraph views. Pull down the arrow to the right of each field and choose among the options in the pulled-down menu. Number of pens that each group (‘Page’ on the 73VR3100 screen) can show depends upon the ‘Display pen number’ setting.
When you need a specific set of parameter settings, press Read Setting File and choose one of the parameter files saved as in 3.2. The file displayed on the screen can be exported to CSV, or downloaded to the 73VR3100 to apply the setting.
CREATE CF DATA The 73VR3100 automatically creates a data area dedicated to store data files when it starts up. It can also be cre- ated on the PC using the 73VR31BLD. Be sure to create a data file in a CF Card before trying to replace CF Cards while the 73VR3100 is running.
The 73VR31BLD can read the current settings on the 73VR3100. Enter IP address of the 73VR3100 in IP address setting under System setting, and press Upload button. If you have set up a password to allow access the 73VR3100, the Enter Password dialog box will appear. Enter password and click OK.
