Residual dangers The DMC plus- scope of performance and supply covers part of the measuring-technology, only. The plant designer/constructor/operator must in addition design, realise and take responsibility for the measuring-system’s safety such that potential residual dangers are minimized. The respective regulations must in any case be observed. Residual dangers regarding the measuring system must be specified explicitly.

Reconstruction and modifications HBM’s express consent is required for modifications regarding the DMC plus- system construction and safety. HBM does not take responsibility for damage resulting from unauthorized modifications. In particular, repair and soldering works on the boards (replacement of components except for EPROMS) are pro- hibited.

DMC plus complete system System design System design DMC plus characteristics: The DMC plus is a digital amplifier system with up to 28 channels (2 channels per amplifier plug-in unit) that is 100% computer-controlled. The system design is characterised by its bus structure similar to that of a microprocessor system.

DMC plus complete system System design Analogue-to-digital conversion HBM has developed a special ADC method based on a dual-channel 16-bit-converter. Contrary to conventional methods, the HBM converter does not restrict the resolution and converts without loss of information over the whole bandwidth even with highly dynamic processes.

DMC plus complete system System design Data transmission rates The amplifiers supply measurements at data rates between 75 and 9600measurements/s. With data transmission rates smaller than 9600measurements/s, measurements are averaged in the gate-array. With even smaller data transmission rates (between 1 and 60measurements/s, the CPU determines an additional average value.

Interfaces Comparison of the interfaces Comparison of the interfaces The DMC plus includes two serial interfaces: – RS-232-C and – RS-422/485 An IEEE488-78 Bus interface can be installed as an option. The instrument can only be operated via one interface at a time.

Interfaces Comparison of the interfaces IEEE 488-78 interface D Relatively ”high” transmission speed. D A number of devices can be interconnected to form a system. Data is transmitted faster than with the serial interface. When using this parallel interface you benefit from its higher data-transmission speed, because in the case of communication with several devices a serial bus’...

Interfaces RS-232-C / RS-422/485 serial interfaces 2.1 RS-232-C- and RS-422/485 interface Both interfaces are called serial interfaces, because data is transmitted successively bit by bit. The interfaces differ with regard to the voltage level used and to their construction; the RS-232-C interface is suitable for point-to-point connections up to 20m, the RS-422/485 is appropriate for point-to-point connections over longer distances up to 1200m and for bus...

Interfaces RS-232-C / RS-422/485 serial interfaces Data transmission is computer-controlled with the X-ON (DC1) and X-OFF (DC3) software handshake or with the RTS and CTS hardware handshake. If the computer is ready to receive data, it issues the X-ON (DC1) control character. If it cannot receive any data, e.g. if there is no free memory space, the X-OFF (DC3) control character is issued.

Interfaces RS-422/485 bus 2.1.1 RS-422/485 bus This 4-wire bus enables up to 32 devices to be connected. In contrast to the RS-232-C interface, only one computer interface is required for the connection of several devices. The bus explained in this section is an extended version of the RS-422 interface that - contrary to the RS-422 - enables several transmitters to be used.

The two plugs are electrically equivalent; the drawback of the 25-pin plug is that it can easily be mistaken for the RS-232-C plug. For this reason, HBM has used the 24-pin Amphenol plug on the IE01 function card. This bus enables max. 15 devices to be interconnected in parallel to form a system.

Interfaces IEEE 488-78 Bus interface D-11 The bus comprises 16 lines; three groups are distinguished: 8 data lines 3 handshake lines 5 control lines The devices are electrically interconnected via the bus. Instructions and data are transmitted from device to device via the bus.

Interfaces IEEE 488-78 Bus interface Data lines D-13 3.1.1 Data lines For transmission of the 8-bit-long data the IEEE 488-78 bus uses eight data lines (DIO1 to DIO8). The interface instructions are also transmitted via these lines; in this case, however, at least one additional control line is used.
D-14 Interfaces IEEE 488-78 Bus interface Handshake lines 3.1.2 Handshake lines The whole data communication on the data bus is controlled according to the three-wire handshaking method by these three lines. Data-Valid signals the validity and availability of data on the data bus.
Interfaces IEEE 488-78 Bus interface Control lines D-15 3.1.3 Control lines The control lines are required for correct information flow through the interface: ’Interface clear’ sets the interface system to a precisely defined initial state. It is transmitted by the controller exclusively.
D-16 Interfaces IEEE 488-78 Bus interface Controller, talker, listener functions 3.2 Controller, talker and listener functions Each device connected to the bus must at least have been provided with one of the following functions: Controller In general, a computer that controls the connected devices.
In general, the address is set using a switch on the device and numbered in sequence from 0 to 30. Each device can be addressed with its individual address. For HBM devices, the factory-set address is 4. DMC plus Technical specifications...
D-18 Interfaces IEEE 488-78 Bus interface Service request (SRQ) 3.4 Service request (SRQ) In an interconnected system of several measuring devices, it may happen that a measuring cycle requires a longer period of time. The controller waits for the end of this procedure. All other devices connected are disabled during this period of time.
Interface IEEE 488-78 Bus interface Serial poll (SPOLL) D-19 3.4.1 Serial poll (SPOLL) If a measurement has been interrupted by a service request, the computer is able to determine the device that has caused the interrupt by starting a serial poll. The computer must address all devices and poll their status value.
Page 130
D-20 Interfaces IEEE 488-78 Bus interface Serial poll (SPOLL) The status bits transmitted during a serial poll have the following meaning: Bit: RQS ESB MAV Status-byte register 16 Data available 32 Error-sum bit 64 SRQ code Request service Event-status bit Message available The computer must respond to the Data available message with an INPUT or ENTER and accept data.
Interfaces IEEE 488-78 Bus interface Parallel poll (PPOLL) D-21 3.4.2 Parallel poll (PPOLL) With a parallel poll the computer is also able to determine the device that has caused the interrupt. However, the reason for the interrupt cannot be determined. In the DMC plus , the PPOLL interface function has been realised.
