Cpi Network Bit Rate - Campbell TEMP 120 Product Manual

Measurements can be made with filtering enabled or disabled. When enabled, the input signal is
filtered to remove 50 and 60 Hz components. Filtering requires additional measurement time
and limits the minimum measurement period to 1 second (maximum measurement rate of 1 Hz).
Disabling the filter allows a minimum period of 100 milliseconds (maximum rate of 10 Hz).
NOTE:
The maximum measurement rate is unaffected by the number of thermocouples measured. If
filtering is enabled, any number of channels on the device (up to 20) can be measured as fast
as 1 Hz. If filtering is disabled, any number of channels (up to 20) can be measured at up to 10
Hz.

10.4 CPI network bit rate

A CPI network is capable of operating at 1000, 500, 250, 125, or 50 kbps, depending on your
network configuration (see
the rate that data are transferred from the GRANITE Measurement Module to the data logger.
When multiple GRANITE Measurement Modules are making measurements faster than 1 Hz, it is
important to ensure that the CPI network bit rate is higher than the rate that data is generated by
the GRANITE Measurement Modules within the network.
To calculate how many kilobits per second (kbps) will be generated, use the following equation
for each GRANITE Measurement Module in your network:
Kilobits per second = (number of measurements) × (measurement frequency) × (0.064 kilobits
per measurement)
The network topology and cable length affect the maximum allowable CPI network bit rate. Refer
to Table 10-1 (p. 23) for the maximum cable length allowed for the topology and bit rate your
network requires. The bit rate of the network defaults to 250 kbps and can be changed by using
the CPISpeed() instruction in the data logger program.
