NetDAQ Service Manual • Communicates with the microprocessor on the A/D Converter PCA via the Serial Communication (Guard Crossing) block (A1U5, A1U7). • Communicates with the Display Controller to display readings and user interface information (A1U1, A1U31). • Communicates with the Field Programmable Gate Array (A1U31), which scans the user interface keyboard found on the Display Assembly and interfaces with the Digital I/O hardware.
This circuitry consists of a set of relays and relay-control drivers. The relays form a tree that routes the input channels to the measurement circuitry. Two of the relays are also used to switch between two-wire and four-wire operation. For signal switching and selection, the 2640A uses reed relays, while the 2645A uses solid-state relays.
NetDAQ Service Manual Open Thermocouple Check 2-17. Under control of the Inguard Microprocessor, the open thermocouple check circuit applies a small ac signal to a thermocouple input before each measurement. If an excessive resistance is encountered, an open thermocouple input condition is reported. A4 Analog Input PCA Block Description 2-18.
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description Raw DC Supply 2-24. The raw dc supply circuitry receives input from power transformer T401, which operates from an ac source of 107V to 264V ac. The power transformer is energized whenever the power cord is plugged into the ac line; there is no on/off switch on the primary side of the transformer.
NetDAQ Service Manual The pulse-width modulator comparator in A1U9 compares the output to an internal reference and sets the ON-time/OFF-time ratio to regulate the output to 4.9V dc. A1C1 is the input filter capacitor, and A1C14 and A1C18 are the output filter capacitors. Proper inductor and capacitor values set the filter frequency response to ensure best overall system stability.
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description Inverter Inguard Supply 2-29. The inverter inguard supply provides three outputs: +5.2V dc (Vdd) and -5.2V dc (Vss) for the inguard analog and digital circuitry, and +5.6V dc (Vddr) for the relays. Diodes A1CR5 and A1CR6, and capacitor A1C12 create a +6.8V dc source, while diodes A1CR7 and capacitor A1C13 create a -9.5V dc source.
NetDAQ Service Manual Reset Circuits 2-32. The Power-On Reset signal (POR*, A1U10-7) is generated by the Microprocessor Supervisor, which monitors the voltage of Vcc at A1U10-2. If Vcc is less than +4.65 volts, then A1U10-7 is driven low. POR* drives the enable inputs of the four tri-state buffers in A1U2, causing the HALT*, RESET*, and DRST* signals to be driven low when POR* is low.
Page 57
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description One sixteen-bit timer in the Microprocessor is used to keep track of the time to the nearest millisecond. The timer counter runs off the 15.36 MHz clock at a rate of 1/64th millisecond. The CINT* signal from the Real Time Clock chip (A1U11) causes the timer counter to be sampled every 1/64th of a second.

A1U1-121 XTINT* External Trigger Interrupt. A1U1-120 KINT* Keyboard Interrupt; interrupts on each debounced change of keyboard conditions. A/D Communication Interrupt; internal to the microprocessor.
Page 59
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description The RAM* signal (A1U1-127) enables access to the Static RAM (A1U20, A1U30, A1U34, or A1U35). There are two banks of static RAM. The SRAM decoding circuit (A1U14, A1U15, A1R125, and A1R126) selects one of the two banks. The RAM1* signal selects one bank (A1U20 and A1U30) and RAM2* selects the other bank (A1U34 and A1U35).
NetDAQ Service Manual Flash Memory 2-35. The Flash EPROM is an electrically erasable and programmable memory that provides storage of instructions for the Microprocessor and measurement calibration data. A switching power supply composed of A1U12, A1L3, A1CR16, A1C11, A1C15, A1C86, and A1C97 generates a nominal +12 volt programming power supply (Vpp) when the Microprocessor drives VPPEN high (A1U12-2).
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description Real-Time Clock 2-37. The Real-Time Clock maintains time and calendar date information for use by the instrument. A nonvolatile power supply (Vbb) biases A1U11. The Microprocessor Supervisor (A1U10) monitors the voltage on Vcc (A1U10-2). If Vcc is greater than the voltage of the lithium battery (A1U10-8), A1U10 switches Vcc from A1U10-2 to A1U10-1 (Vbb).

You can find the detailed description of the Totalizer Debouncer and Mode Selection later in this chapter under the heading "Totalizer Input."...
NetDAQ Service Manual Data Terminal Ready (DTR) and Request To Send (RTS) are modem control signals controlled by the Microprocessor. When the instrument is powered up, the Microprocessor initially sets DTR and RTS false by setting A1U1-61 and A1U1-59 high, which results in the RS-232 driver outputs (A1U13-7 and A1U13-5 respectively) going to -5.0V dc.
Page 65
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description The clock for the Ethernet Chip is provided by A1Y2, A1C38, and A1C89, which are connected directly to A1U32-17 and A1U32-18. This provides a 20 MHz clock to the Ethernet Chip. The clock allows the Ethernet Interface to send and receive data at 10 M-bits per second.
NetDAQ Service Manual Pulse transformer A1T3 provides electrical isolation between the Ethernet Chip (A1U32) and the 10BASE-2 transceiver chip (A1U16). Data is transmitted from the Ethernet Chip (A1U32) to the transceiver chip (A1U16) through pins 1, 2, 15, and 16 of pulse transformer A1T3.
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description Digital and Alarm Output Drivers 2-45. Since the 11 Digital Output and Alarm Output Drivers are identical in design, the following example description references only the components that are used for the Master Alarm Output (AO<2>). The Microprocessor controls the state of the Master Alarm Output Driver by writing to the Alarm Output register in the FPGA (A1U31) to set the level of output A1U31-61.
NetDAQ Service Manual The input (XTI) is then routed to the FPGA (A1U31), that contains the External Trigger control circuitry. The Microprocessor sets control register bits in the FPGA (A1U31) to control the external trigger circuit. The External Trigger control circuit output (A1U31-9) drives an interrupt input on the Microprocessor (A1U1-121).

The FPGA monitors the front panel switches (see below) using six interface signals SWR1 through SWR6.
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description Watchdog Timer and Reset Circuit 2-53. The Watchdog Timer and Reset circuit has been defeated by the insertion of the jumper between TP1 and TP3 on the Display Assembly. In this instrument, the reset circuitry is on the Main Assembly and the Watchdog Timer is part of the Microprocessor (A1U1).

NetDAQ Service Manual Ohms and RTD Measurement Circuitry 2-62. Resistance measurements are made by sourcing dc current through the unknown resistor and measuring the resultant dc voltage (see Table 2-9). The current source consists of operational amplifier A1U31, FET A3Q19, and switches internal to the Stallion. four-wire measurements use separate source and sense signal paths to the point of the unknown resistance.
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description AC Volts Measurement Circuitry 2-63. AC-coupled voltage inputs are scaled by an ac buffer (A3U29), converted to dc by a true rms ac-to-dc converter (A3U26), filtered by an active ac volt filter, then sent to the Stallion IC, the Buffer Amplifier, and the A/D Conversion Circuitry (see Table 2-10).
NetDAQ Service Manual Voltage Reference Circuit 2-66. The voltage reference circuit creates a well-regulated +3.45/-3.45V dc source for use by the A/D converter, and as a source for ohms and current measurements. The circuit is formed around two dual op-amps A3U12 and A3U20. A3U12 controls balance between +3.45V dc and -3.45V dc by adjusting the +3.45V dc through A3Q2 as the divider between these voltages in zener diode A3Z1 reads above or below zero.
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description A3U20 is also a dual op-amp. One half provides the regulated 3 mA required to flow into the cathode of the zener diode within A3Q5 by forming a current source with A3Q4. If not supplied from a current source, the current would change with the emitter base voltage of A3Q5.
NetDAQ Service Manual Integrate 2-69. The integrate state is when the input voltage is actually connected to the integrator. PREF and NREF are each switched off and on 10 to 20 times during this state and DREF is still off, INT is on, AZ is off, and the CMP signal is switching off and on. The primary signal is pin 7 of A3U19, which looks approximately like a triangular wave with 51.2 µs slope when the input voltage is zero.

NetDAQ Service Manual Deintegrate1 2-70. Deintegrate1 is when the remaining charge of the capacitor is removed and the major count is completed. The input is turned off and no longer affects the reading. INT is off, PREF, and NREF continue to switch a few more times, and the signal is brought very close to zero.
Theory of Operation Detailed Circuit Description Communication with the main processor is done using the IGDR line to receive and the IGDS line to send serial data. On the A/D side, these signals are called RECV DATA and XMIT DATA (pins A3U5-53 and A3U5-54 respectively). The RESET* signal is asserted on power-up for reset and during operation when a break signal is received from A1U4.
NetDAQ Service Manual Temperature sensor transistor A4Q1 outputs a voltage inversely proportional to the temperature of the input channel terminals. This voltage is 0.6V dc at 25 °C, increasing 2 mV with each degree decrease in temperature, or decreasing 2 mV with each degree increase in temperature.
Theory of Operation A1 Main to A3 A/D Converter Communications Commands 2-79. A command consists of a six-byte packet sent from the outguard to the inguard. The most-significant four bits of the first bytes define the following command types: • Perform Scan.
“F” for FFE (2645A) software and “P” for the PFE (2640A); xx are the two digits of the major version number, and yy are the two digits of the minor version number (there is an implicit decimal point between the two).
Range 90 mV or 300 ohm, 300 mV or 3 kΩ, 3V or 30 kohm, 30V or 300 kΩ, 50V (2645A), 150/300V (2640A), or 3 MΩ, 750 mV (reference junction calibration). The range field is ignored for frequency and thermocouple channels.
NetDAQ Service Manual Do Housekeeping 2-86. The Command Packet tells the A/D to do the following: • Do all housekeeping readings if bit set. • Do the next housekeeping reading in the schedule if bit set. • Prescan: preset the function relays. Checksum Action Performed is as follows: •...
The channel multiplexing consists of treeing and channel switches, implemented with either FET switches (2645A) or reed relays (2640A). There are two sets of bits associated with these switches. The tree bits must be set to indicate which bank of channels is being used where bank 0 is channels 1 to 10, and bank 1 is channels 11-20.
Page 92
The tree bits should not be deselected, since this would result in excessive wear of these switches (for the 2640A). Table 2-12: Tree Bits gives the bit patterns for the tree bits and Table 2-13: Channel Bits gives the bit patterns for the channel bits.
Stallion Chip and Signal Conditioning 2-95. The Stallion Chip (A3U30) is a Fluke-custom IC that contains assorted switches, amplifiers, and the frequency counter. The chip contains registers that the A3U5 A/D microprocessor may read and write to configure the chip and obtain frequency readings.
Theory of Operation Inguard Software Description After the input channel has been selected and the Stallion chip programmed appropriately, there is a minimum time required for the signal conditioning circuitry to settle. This settling time varies depending on the function and range being measured, and is given in Table 2-18: Signal Conditioning Settling Time.
Service Manual Timing 2-97. The timing for the 2645A and 2640A A/Ds is shown in Figures 2-14 and 2-15. These figures apply to normal readings. For Reference Balance readings, the timing for both 2645A and 2640A is given by Figure 2-15.
Page 97
Theory of Operation Inguard Software Description The A/D state machine has several modes of operation: perform conversion (measure input); do a reference balance reading with both references on; or do a reference balance reading with both references off. These modes are selected by the A3U5 A/D microprocessor through a two-bit parallel port, which consists of two data lines and a strobe line.
K = (0.1)(2)(3.45) / (16) / (307) / (1.6) (2645A) K = (0.1)(2)(3.45) / (16) / (1843) / (1.6) (2640A) For higher resolution measurements, P and N counts are accumulated for the total number of A/D readings in the measurement and then used in the above formula. We call these Ptot and Ntot.
Theory of Operation Inguard Software Description We also must subtract the correct zero offset from the measurement. There are four zero offsets, one for each DC buffer amplifier gain setting (BR1, BR2, BR3, or BR4). The gain setting used for a particular function and range can be determined from the Stallion switch settings (Table 2-17: Stallion Switch Settings).
They also do not apply to reference balance readings (see Reference Balance Readings). Table 2-20. A/D Readings to Average to Obtain a Measurement Instrument Reading Rate Fast Reading Rate Medium Reading Rate Slow 2640A 5 (60 Hz) 45 (60 Hz) 6 (50 Hz) 48 (50 Hz) 2645A 20 (60 Hz)
Theory of Operation Inguard Software Description For the channels within such a block, we can assume the following: • No function relay switches are required. • There is only one Stallion register, that must be written to between channels. • A channel can be selected at the beginning of the deintegrate period of the previous channel, at the same time that the previous channel is deselected.
ACR1 (300 mV) Between 3V and 30V ACR2 (3V) Greater than 30V (2640A only) ACR3 (30V) The frequency measurement itself does not use the A/D. Frequency measurements are taken using the Stallion chip. To reduce noise in frequency measurements, the instrument takes eight frequency readings and averages them together to obtain a single frequency measurement.
This test simply triggers the A/D and waits for either the A/D interrupt or a timeout. If the timeout occurs before receiving an A/D interrupt, the test fails and the A/D is assumed to be non-functional. The timeout is set to 10 ms, greater than either the 2640A or 2645A A/D reading time.
Equipment required for calibration, troubleshooting, and repair of the instrument is listed in Chapter 4, Table 4-1. Refer to the Fluke "Surface-Mount Device Soldering Kit" for a list of special tools required to perform circuit assembly repair. (In the USA, call 1-800-526-4731 to order this kit.)

Diagnostic Testing and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the Instrument 8. If a segment under each of several (or all) grids fails to be turned on (or off) properly, one of the anode drive signals may not be connected properly from A2U1 to A2DS1. When an anode signal is at Vcc, and a grid signal is at Vcc, the corresponding segment on the display is illuminated.
NetDAQ Service Manual A3 Kernel 5-31. If the microprocessor detects a fault, it drives the HALT* signal low and in essence halts itself. Monitor the HALT* line and if it is not steady and toggles between low and high, then there is most certainly a problem with the A3 kernel. In this instance, check the pull-up resistors for the data and addressing lines, and then signal conditions at the kernel devices.
Troubleshooting Relay Problems 5-34. Both the 2640A and 2645A use mechanical reed relays for signal switching, although the 2645A uses solid-state relays for channel selection. The mechanical relays have a life of 100,000,000 operations. If you use your instrument in long-duration, high-speed measurement runs at high voltages and high common mode voltages, then the relays may start to act up after a few years.
