SB-485 Termination
This is a menu for setting whether the sensor bus termination is switched In or Out of the network.
If the console is the final device connected at either end of the sensor network choose In, otherwise
choose Out. The default setting is In. The termination should be set prior to running Auto
Add/Remove or any measurement process.
Auto Add/Remove
This is a process the operator can choose to let the console automatically scan and detect any
sensors on the network. After selecting Auto Add/Remove, it will begin searching for sensors
currently connected to the network, adding or removing them from the working list. If there are
existing enabled, a confirmation screen will appear to make sure you want to re-scan for new and
removed sensors. Press
the way to 120 or stop it once they feel it has found them all.
Since this process uses Modbus/RTU communications, make sure that Sensor Type and SB-485
Termination have previously been set.
Add/Remove
This is a menu that allows the operator to manually add or remove sensors to the console's working
list. Use the ,
be configured for use. After all desired addresses are assigned, use the
Unit of Measure
This is a menu for selecting the measurement unit used for entering vessel dimensions and product
density in Vessel Setup. It also determines the unit used for readings when Measurement Format
is set for Height or Cubic Unit. If weight calculations are enabled, your two choices are U.S. (lb, ft)
or Metric (kg, m) with the default being U.S. (lb, ft). If weight calculations are disabled, your two
choices are Foot (ft) or Meter (m) with the default being Foot (ft).
Changing this setting will convert all stored vessel parameters from one system to the other.
Weight Calculations
This is a menu for enabling or disabling volume and weight calculations. The default is disabled.
By enabling weight calculations, the operator will be able to view measurement results as a volume
or weight in various units. The option to disable this feature is provided due to the complexity of
entering vessel parameters that may not be needed on some systems.
This setting will have an effect on the following:
1. The amount of data to be entered under Setup > Vessel Setup.
2. Selections available under Setup > Measurement Format.
3. Data presented under Measure/View.
4. Data represented by the 4-20mA output.
Vessel Setup
This is a menu for entering the vessel parameters associated with the sensor addresses previously
configured in Add/Remove or Auto Add/Remove. Defining vessels accurately is critical in obtaining
accurate measurement data of weight or product height.
If weight calculations are disabled, this is simply for setting the overall height of the vessel, sensor
offset and maximum drop. The first screen is for selecting the vessel(s) to be configured, the
925-0389 rev A
to cancel or
and keys to select and accept one or more sensor addresses from the list to
19
to confirm. The operator can choose to let it scan all
key to exit.
