Page 4: Introduction
Introduction This document specifies the function and performance of the Solartron Metrology Single Conditioning Unit Channel SC1 (no display) and SCD1 (with 6-digit, 7 segment display). The Solartron Metrology Conditioning Unit Single Channel has a 5-pin DIN female socket to connect to the AX range of Calibrated LVDT or half bridge sensors. -

Electrical Installation 3.1. Electrical connections The SC1 / SCD1 has: Probe (Sensor) Connector – a 5-pin DIN female socket for sensor LVDT or half bridge • (HB). Note that during Calibration & Configuration, the type is autodetected. Refer to Probes USB type C. -
Page 6: Mechanical Installation
Mechanical Installation The SC1, SCD1 may be DIN rail, 35 mm, mounted or freestanding. 4.1. Environmental Indoor use; altitude up to 2 000 m; temperature 5 °C to 60 °C; maximum relative humidity 80 % for temperatures up to 31 °C decreasing linearly to 50 % non-condensing. Degree of ingress protection: IP30. -
Page 7: Features
Features 5.1. Communicating with SC(D)1 The SC(D)1 can be externally accessed via: • A serial protocol (using a virtual COM port) using the USB connection – refer to Serial Interface • “Orbit GCS” (part of the Orbit3 Suite) offers an easy way of displaying the sensor position, perform mathematical functions and record data onto a windows PC. - Page 8 Click Find Devices, wait until a list of connected devices is displayed. Select the desired one. Now select from Configure digital data, Calibrate, Validate, Configure filter, Configure High / Low limits, Configure displayed number of digits or Configure Analogue outputs. (This is stored in non-volatile memory and can be changed any time as required).
- Page 9 5.2.1.1.Configure Digital Data Click “Configure digital data” to select from mm, inches or mil (thousands of inch) then click finish. Modbus (if required). Set the Modbus baud rate: 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. Set the Modbus Node ID number (server): 1 to 247. Modbus parity: none, even or odd.

Page 13: Settings / Data Map
Settings / Data Map At its heart, the SC(D)1 has a parameter (or data) map that contains all settings and readings. This unit has many settings.

Page 19: Usb Serial Interface
USB Serial Interface The USB / serial protocol relies on Windows assigning a virtual COM port for the SC(D)1 to the user. Other operating systems (e.g. Linux) should operate in a similar manner (but this has not been tested recently). The serial protocol accesses various parameters (see Settings / Data Map) from the SC1. - Page 20 o example: to write Setting <Setting> to <Value>, Length = N bytes in total for a N byte value Send: ‘^’, ‘W’, Address byte, Length, <Setting>, <Value>, <Checksum> For example: To Write the “Output Filtering” (data map index = 24, 2 bytes) to 100, open the serial port and using suitable terminal read / write software send: “^W\x01\x02\x18\x64\x00\xCC”.
