InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION START. This is the primary function of the button and will be used daily/regularly by operators of the instrument to start a batch/blend. If the instrument is currently running a warning message will appear to tell them a process is currently running. MODE.
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION InSpec Sampler Controller BASIC OPERATION OF THE INSTRUMENT (START, STOP, RESET, MANUAL) The Start, Stop and Reset buttons act in their primary function when the menu is closed and showing the front display. This allows a batch or blend to be started, stopped or reset quickly from the front panel.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES The Jiskoot InSpec is used for Sampling, Blending and Wildstream control applications. As such, many of the fundamental operating principles are the same regardless of the installed software. This manual will cover the common features of your controller and an additional manual section will cover the application specific software that is currently installed on your unit.
Page 16
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller LOGOUT This simply logs out the current user. The only option available then will be the LOGIN USER option described previously above. WHO AM I? This allows quick identification of who is currently logged into the system. It may be useful for various reasons, e.g., if an unattended InSpec is still logged in you can see who previously logged in.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES NAVIGATING THE INSPEC DISPLAY 2.3.1 BASIC SCREEN LAYOUT The InSpec display consists of a 20x2 LCD display. The display operates within several modes. We will look at each of these briefly. The most common screen that an operator will see during day-to-day use is the front display screen.
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller HINT: When you are at either end of a list of options you can use the left or the right button to wrap back around the list. In the above example pressing the left cursor button will take you to option 4 of 4 at the other end of the list.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES Selecting the left and right cursor buttons within the existing value will result in the cursor stepping backwards or forwards over existing characters. The up and down cursors can be used within a value to change a specific digit.
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller Figure 8 - Select & Assign Screens REGISTERS A register is a piece of memory that can be thought of as a location containing a single data item of a certain type. The registers are stored in memory that is non-volatile so that when the unit is turned off the contents of the registers remains intact.
Page 21
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES Figure 10 - Register Options Menu 2.5.1.1 Set Current Selecting Set current enables an engineer to change the current register value using the data entry methods previously described. 2.5.1.2 Entering Register Values In Engineer Mode A user with engineer level access entering or amending register values will have a different set of characters depending on the register type.
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller 2.5.1.6 View Mod Add The View Mod Add option allows you to view the Modbus address that is assigned to the current register. If no Modbus number is assigned to the register a message will appear to say so.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES Figure 13 - Engineering Display The engineer will have to write down or memorise exactly what variables they have selected for the engineering display to make full use of it. The engineer display options are configured as if they are items 1-6 in the normal operator display with items 1 to 3 on the top line and 4 to 6 on the bottom.
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller THE ALARMS MENU Figure 15 - The Alarms Menu The InSpec controller has 60 configurable alarms. For each application (InSpec Sampler or InSpec Blender), there will be a set of default system alarms. These are alarms that are considered very common/useful for the general process.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES Each of the 60 configurable alarms has a defined name or the alarm is not configured. When a configurable alarm is not configured the title defaults to ‘Empty Slot’. Selecting an empty configurable alarm begins the process of setting up a new alarm.
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller 2.7.13 Email notification This decision is asking whether you want a new live occurrence of this alarm to result in email notification. If the answer is yes and an associated alarm is triggered, an email will be sent to the current user as configured in S_MAIL_TO_NAME @ S_MAIL_TO_DOMAIN.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES 2.9.2.2 Date format There are six available date formats. The user can choose from the following options. Note that the first three options allow for the year to be entered in full four-digit format. The latter three options have the year truncated to two digits (i.e., 2006 = 06).

InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES • Modbus Master –instance of Modbus master must have its own dedicated serial port. The InSpec serial ports are able to run Modbus on either an RS232, RS422 or an RS485. Once Modbus is selected to work on the port the following are standard configuration options when running Modbus over a serial link •...
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller • Port 1 → Display (Not Configurable) • Port 2 → Off • Port 3 → Off 2.9.5 MODBUS TCP SLAVE This menu item allows you to setup Modbus TCP slave. You are prompted for the Modbus string size, the float word order and the long word order.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES PRIMARY DNS The Primary DNS server translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers called IP address that are associated with networking equipment for locating and addressing devices worldwide. An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the "phone book"...
Page 32
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller 2.9.9 The InSpec IO menu for a Sampler or a Blender consists of 3 sub-menus. Note, this menu is not available on the remote IO InSpec. This is to ensure all calibration and configuration of the IO for a remote device is performed via the menus (Web or front panel) on the master InSpec.
Page 33
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES Figure 22 - The ADC test screen from the IO tests menu The upper line of the display gives the raw value coming in on the ADC channel. The lower line then shows the associated calibrated value scaled for a 4-20mA signal. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to switch between ADC channels 1 to 3.
Page 34
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller Digital Tests The display for both the digital in and out tests shows whether the specific digitals are available for test. In the following two pictures you will see that certain digital inputs or outputs are shown as an X.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES Figure 27 - Set 20mA calibration point during ADC calibration routine. Once your input test signal settles, enter the value for the default 4mA calibration point. On doing so you will then be presented with a very similar 20mA screen. To calibrate between 4 and 20ma, the values entered have to be within a given range else a message box will appear stating that the calibration is ‘Invalid’.
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller Note: If the C_AUTO_REPORT register is set, the end of batch report will be printed automatically at the end of a batch. If the SMTP service is configured and the C_AUTO_MAIL_REPORT register is set, then the end of batch will be automatically emailed to the specified recipient.
Page 37
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES ALARM PHASE LOG Allows you to navigate the directory structure and select a batch alarm phase log (AL_PH.CSV). The alarm phase log from this folder could then be printed. You will be notified if the alarm phase log file does not exist.
SECTION 2: COMMON SOFTWARE FEATURES InSpec Sampler Controller AUTO ALARM MAIL Here you set the configuration option to set if a batch alarm phase log is automatically emailed at the end of a batch. BACKUP IMAGE Create an image of the InSpec configuration and email to the specified address. 2.10.5 LOG SETUP The Log is a shared application feature that enables up to 20 data variables to be printed out consecutively in a running log.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 3: DATA COMMUNICATIONS SECTION 3: DATA COMMUNICATIONS WHAT IS IT? The purpose of data communications is to transfer information between two or more units. As a rule, it is characters (text or numbers) and/or instructions (commands) that are transmitted. The simplest level of computer language is binary digits where each character is composed of seven to eight binary 1’s or 0’s.
SECTION 3: DATA COMMUNICATIONS InSpec Sampler Controller THE RIGHT CONNECTION The following is based on a simple RS232 connection. • Two terms that recur in data communications are DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and DCE (Data Communication Equipment). • Computers and terminals are usually DTE’s, modems and communications hardware are generally DCE’s while other equipment such as multiplexers and printers can be either.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 3: DATA COMMUNICATIONS 3.11 RS422 EIA-422 or RS422 is a physical layer electrical specification of a four-wire, full-duplex, point to point or multi-drop serial connection. RS422 is a standard interface that is suitable for industrial applications. It was created for the construction of multi-drop data busses, between a main computer and a number of terminals.
SECTION 4: IP SETTINGS InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 4: IP SETTINGS As well as providing legacy serial connectivity, the InSpec has an Ethernet port and, if configured correctly, can provide Modbus TCP (Master/Slave), Network Time Protocol (NTP) updates, SMS email notification for alarms, batch reports, log files and diagnostic files etc, Ethernet printing, Telnet sessions and an extensive Web browser interface to configure and monitor the application.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 4: IP SETTINGS 4.1.3 Configure DHCP InSpec Menu Options = DHCP enabled / timeout What is DHCP? DHCP is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol is used by hosts connected to a network (DHCP clients) to obtain IP address assignments and other configuration information from the server.
SECTION 4: IP SETTINGS InSpec Sampler Controller The subnet mask is either entered manually via the set static menu option or it is obtained via the DHCP protocol. If DHCP is enabled but fails to provide a subnet mask, the subnet mask will revert to the default static settings.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 4: IP SETTINGS If the primary DNS server fails, a secondary DNS server is often provided as a fall back. If DHCP is enabled the secondary DNS server address should be obtained from the DHCP server. However, you can still enter a static secondary DNS server address.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 5: SD CARD FILE SYSTEM SECTION 5: SD CARD FILE SYSTEM A secure digital memory card is used in the InSpec to store batch and system data. The InSpec supports the SD format (up to 2Gb. Formatted to FAT16). Please avoid using higher capacity SDHC cards. It is not something we currently recommend due to performance issues.
SECTION 5: SD CARD FILE SYSTEM InSpec Sampler Controller 5.3.1 CSDATA This directory contains all the instrument data created by the shell command SAVECS. Where there are the following 4 files. 5.3.1.1 CONFIG.BIN This file contains a binary copy of the instrument FRAM. It is only compatible with software of the same version.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 5: SD CARD FILE SYSTEM The batch name in this path is taken from the S_BATCH_TITLE and S_BATCH_TITLE_NXT registers. The _NXT register is used when setting up the next batch/blend during a current batch/blend. There are similar _NXT registers for all batch/blend parameters.
SECTION 5: SD CARD FILE SYSTEM InSpec Sampler Controller 5.4.4 REPORT.TXT This file and the related report.htm file will not appear until the batch has been reset. Report files are produced for each batch. 5.4.5 REPORT.HTM See report.txt above. This is the HTML version of the report file.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 6: FTP FILE SYSTEM ACCESS SECTION 6: FTP FILE SYSTEM ACCESS The entire file system can be accessed from a network using the standard FTP (file transfer protocol), for instance to allowing access to batch logs. FTP has security which is given as, at present this password cannot be changed.
SECTION 7: INSITU PROGRAMMING InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 7: INSITU PROGRAMMING Programming from the Bootloader Upon each reboot of the InSpec you will see the following text. InSpec bootloader version 2.04 Press the space key to abort application booting The ‘press the space key’ prompt offers the ability to interrupt the boot sequence to access the bootloader command shell.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 7: INSITU PROGRAMMING You are offered the option of interrupting this process via the space key. If you skip this option, you will see messages informing you that the flash is being erased (followed by repeated dots). Once this is done you will see a message informing you that the flash is being programmed (followed by repeated dots).
SECTION 7: INSITU PROGRAMMING InSpec Sampler Controller The flash re-programming sequence as shown in the Automatic Software Update section now follows. The main difference is that the file is not renamed at the end of the process (it is not necessary) and the application does not automatically boot.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 7: INSITU PROGRAMMING After the application is started you will see further information unique to the UPGRADE task as follows: Erasing FRAM Defaulting registers ............Loading registers and Modbus addresses from prior version ............Upgrade completed Enter username to access shell: After the upgrade is completed the application will start and you will see the usual shell username/password prompt.
SECTION 7: INSITU PROGRAMMING InSpec Sampler Controller In addition to these files you may also have a file called UPGRADE.LOG This file exists if any registers have not been found between versions during the upgrade. The bad register numbers / names are listed in the upgrade.log file.
Page 57
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 7: INSITU PROGRAMMING A successful bootloader re-programming sequence should appear as follows: Erasing flash, ..Flash erased, now Programming,........Verifying flash,..........Completed verification successfully A reboot is now required M:\ TESTCARD$ If anything fails during the reboot process and you are unable to recover and re-program the bootloader then unfortunately the InSpec will need to be returned to the factory.
SECTION 8: SD CARD SYSTEM FILES InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 8: SD CARD SYSTEM FILES On the SD card there should always be a SYSTEM folder. If it does not exist when the instrument is powered up, then it is created automatically to create the two required report template files (REPORT_TEMPLATE.TXT and REPORT_TEMPLATE.HTM).
Page 59
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 8: SD CARD SYSTEM FILES Security Log Entry Associated Content LOGIN Who logged in when and from which serial port. LOGOUT Who logged out when and from which serial port. USER_DELETED Which user was deleted by who, when and from which serial port.
Page 60
SECTION 8: SD CARD SYSTEM FILES InSpec Sampler Controller PATH /$I_START_YEAR$/$C_START_MONTH$/$C_START_DAY$/$S_BATCH_TITLE$_$L_BATCH_ID$.$ I_TOTAL_BATCH_COUNT$ REPORT ENDS ----------- The report file begins with a series of headings. E.g., “CAMERON JISKOOT QUALITY SYSTEMS”, “SAMPLER COLLECTION REPORT” etc. The first line of the report that is configurable is: $S_REPORT_VARIABLE$ This is a register name between two $ symbols.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 9: MODBUS INFORMATION SECTION 9: MODBUS INFORMATION General Modbus is a communications protocol designed by Modicon Inc. Industrial Automation Systems. The version supported is that as specified in the Protocol Reference Guide , with extensions for handling 32bit IEEE floating-point numbers, 32bit integers (including alarms) and Strings.
SECTION 9: MODBUS INFORMATION InSpec Sampler Controller 9.6.1 ASCII Only the characters 0-9 and A-F are transmitted as data. A ‘:’ is used to start the message, and Carriage Return, Linefeed pair used to terminate it. A delay of 1 second may be tolerated between characters.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 9: MODBUS INFORMATION Function Code (HEX) Read Holding Registers Read Input Registers Pre-set Multiple Registers Modbus Addresses Modbus addresses can be allocated to every register that is required to be accessed as a slave. This can either be accomplished via the register access feature of the menu or configured via the debug port using the RM and WM commands.
SECTION 9: MODBUS INFORMATION InSpec Sampler Controller 9.15 Modbus Slave This is the ‘client’ of the master unit. Each slave is given a unique identifier in the range 1 to 247. When in this mode, the slave listens on the appropriate port until a query from a master unit is heard. When the query is received, the slave address is decoded and if it is not the same as the instruments, the packet is ignored.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 10: USER COMMANDS SECTION 10: USER COMMANDS The InSpec includes a facility to perform a number of simple calculations on registers. These are known as user commands. NOTE: This is only designed to solve simple problems and so more complex problems will require using the programming language UCL.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) UCL is a programming language for creating additional logic features in the InSpec controller. It provides the ability to alter register values on a real time basis, according to a set of predefined commands. UCL is a functional language.
SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) InSpec Sampler Controller When you first run a UCL program it is advised to run the task in DEBUG mode. To do this, follow these steps. First, we will assume that the UCL.TXT file has been created already. At the terminal type: DEBUG UCL Followed by: START UCL...
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) Carriage returns and spaces can be included in the file, enabling the programmer to customise the layout. It is suggested that each new statement should be started on a new line to make reading of the program easier.
SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) InSpec Sampler Controller The value 5.2 must be cast into an int16 type to be stored in the register i_ispare1. In this case, it is cast to the value 5, because I_USER_INT1 is an integer register. Casting of this type always rounds down.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) • < LESS THAN (float < float = boolean) (1 < 2 = TRUE) If left argument is less than right argument, return TRUE, else return FALSE • >= GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO (float >= float = boolean) (1 >= 1 =TRUE) If left argument is greater than or equal to right argument, return TRUE, else return FALSE.
SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) InSpec Sampler Controller This produces the natural log for the value of register F_USER_FLOAT1. 11.13.3 POW EXAMPLE F_USER_FLOAT2=POW(F_USER_FLOAT3, F_USER_FLOAT4); This raises F_USER_FLOAT3 to the power F_USER_FLOAT4. These are floating power powers and so can also be used in the calculation of roots, a square root would be to the power 0.5 11.13.4 SIN EXAMPLE F_USER_FLOAT2=SIN(F_USER_FLOAT1);...
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) i_ispare2 = i_ispare2 == 60 ? 0 : i_ispare2 ; This sets up a counter which is incremented every second. When the counter reaches 60, it is then reset back to 0. 11.15 Operator Priority and Parenthesising Operator prioritising means you may occasionally get unexpected results from an equation.
Page 74
SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) InSpec Sampler Controller If there are mismatching conditional/jump section labels, then the file will fail to compile. The simple premise is that a conditional statement needs to know where the code will jump to (go to) when the conditional equation returns true.
Page 75
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 11: USER CONFIGURABLE LOGIC (UCL) If HORN_OUTPUT_COUNTER less than 21 jump to 3 ALARM_END section of code 3 else HORN_OUTPUT_COUNTER must equal 20. Set ALARM_SOUND_HORN to FALSE, the ALARM_DELAY_COUNTER = 0 and HORN_OUTPUT_COUNTER=0; 3 ALARM_END The UCL File #define ALARM_DELAY_COUNTER = I_USER_INT1;...
SECTION 12: FLOW WEIGHTED AVERAGING InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 12: FLOW WEIGHTED AVERAGING Flow weighted averaging allows a variable to be averaged on the lifetime of a batch. Correctly averaging it for the flow throughout. The following simple formula is used It should be noted that the variable needs to have a linear relationship to be suitable to be averaged, some linearization calculations maybe needed on variables that are not linear, for example viscosity.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 13: PID BLOCKS SECTION 13: PID BLOCKS The InSpec has 10 users configurable PID blocks. These are configured via the field menu. The PID block items consists of 2 sub menus: PID Config – Here you are prompted to turn the specific PID block on, enter the source register (PID input), the active phases and whether the PID should jump to a specific value when it goes into a non-active phase.
SECTION 14: STORING CONFIGURATION BACKUPS InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 14: STORING CONFIGURATION BACKUPS Backups of the instrument software, registers and configuration files can be easily performed from the InSpec start up system menu to the SD card or, if configured, you can do this from the web interface. Once a configuration has been backed up it can be copied to a PC or server either via the web interface (the easiest option), by moving the SD card to a PC or via an FTP command or application.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 15: RESTORING CONFIGURATION BACKUPS SECTION 15: RESTORING CONFIGURATION BACKUPS Backups of the instrument software, registers and configuration files can be easily restored from the InSpec start up system menu or, if configured, you can do this from the web interface. The InSpec system menu is accessed by powering the instrument on while holding down the delete key.
SECTION 16: SYSTEM START UP MENU InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 16: SYSTEM START UP MENU When the unit is switched on for the first time or after new software has been installed the InSpec will boot to the system start-up menu. Alternatively, this menu can be accessed by rebooting the system and holding down the delete/reset key.
InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 16: SYSTEM START UP MENU 16.10 FORMAT SD CARD This item wipes the BBRAM. Any configuration values/settings will be lost as a result. Upon exiting the system menu, the System folder and report template files will be recreated. Note if you format the SD card you will lose all the current users and the InSpec will default back to having just the 3 default users –...
