  • Page 87: Manually Zeroing The Analyzer Sample System

    “Please wait ...” will appear while the analyzer performs the calibra- tion function. Run the zero for 10 minutes.  Typically, the IPS-4 Analyzer controls the zero flow rate; no adjust- ments are required. NOTE If the customer provides the sample system zero, run the manual zero at a flow rate of 2.5 L/minute (0.08 scfm).

  • Page 88: Adjusting The Zero/Span Fluid Flow Rate

    Zero/Span (if used) fluid must be high enough to adequately flush the Measuring Cell of sample fluid to obtain a “good zero.”  Typically, the IPS-4 Analyzer controls the zero (and span, if used) flow rate; no adjustments are required. NOTE If the customer provides the sample system zero, run the manual zero at a flow rate of 2.5 L/minute (0.08 scfm).

  • Page 89: Adjusting The Sample Flow Rate

    Adjusting the Sample Flow Rate Applications With an Aspirator: The Aspirator Pressure Regulator is used to control the sample flow through the system. A typical sample flow rate is in the range of 3.0–5.0 L/minute (0.1–0.2 scfm) and can be achieved by adjusting the Aspirator Pressure higher than 70 kPa (10 psi) above the sample stream pressure.

    Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) with the analyzer operating as a slave device. The IPS-4 Analyzer supports RS-485 serial communication standards. The physical communication connection between an IPS-4 analyzer and a cus- tomer DCS\SCADA\PLC\DAS or a general-purpose computer is RS-485. The analyzer RS-485 connection supports 2-wire multi-drop systems.

    PORT parameter value to 1. NOTE When designing a Modbus RS-485 multi-drop communication system with the IPS-4 Analyzer, the system designer should consider the follow- ing: • The update rate is one time per minute or less. Polling of these regis- ters more frequently than once a second is not recommended.

  • Page 201: Analyzer Modbus Interface Parameters

    Modbus Functions As the Modbus protocol is designed for communication among Program- mable Logic Controllers (PLCs), not all Modbus function codes supported by a slave PLC are applicable to the IPS-4 analyzer. Only the following relevant function codes are implemented: Code...
