    LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL At the beginning of the configuration, it is recommended to load the current configuration from the data logger first. This allows simultaneous testing of the communication with the Ser[LOG] to determine whether communication with the Ser[LOG] is working. To do this, select the station with the designation ”---?? --- ”off. This definition has the ”universal” station number ”0000”. With this setting you can retrieve all stations, no matter with which station number they are configured. The configuration of the device can be loaded into the Ser[LOG]-Commander with the function ”Call up configuration of logger”. If a station with the same name already exists, the Ser[LOG]-Commander asks whether this station should be overwritten. An existing configuration can only be overwritten if no write protection is set and it is not a ”factory definition”. If the station does not yet exist, it is automatically saved. If the station or data logger is to be called, a copy of the corresponding data record must be made.

The averaging time is also the storage interval in which the Ser[LOG] saves the measured values. By default, the averaging time is set to ”10 min”. Values between 1 minute and 60 minutes can be set. To ensure the best compatibility for further processing programs, it is recommended to set the time interval to 1 minute or to 10 minutes. The storage always takes place at the full minute interval after the set local time. Currently, only the standard measuring interval in 1 Hz cycle or 2 Hz cycle is available for selection as operating mode.

    LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL Please note that a too short timeout time with a too small number of repetitions may lead to connection failures, e.g. in the instantaneous value display of further processing programs such as the LAMBRECHT MeteoWare CS. On the other hand, too large timeout times and too many repetitions lead to long waiting times in the event of connection errors, e.g. when retrieving the configuration, during which time the Ser[LOG] Commander cannot be operated, for example! In the ”Advanced network settings” frame, for PC systems with multiple Ethernet adapters / WLAN adapters, the IP address can be selected via which the cable connection to Ser[LOG] is established. This setting bypasses the automatic adapter selection in the Windows operating system and reduces the number of potential errors. The adapter selection is switched on by activating the ”Multihoming”.

This value represents the signal sensitivity and is usually given in µV/(W/m ) in the documentation of ² the global radiation sensors. 7.3.5.2. Configuration of vector-linked wind sensor pair If wind speed and wind direction are to be calculated vectorially to the mean value, the wind sensors must be defined as wind pairs. To do this, first create a wind speed sensor without a vector partner. Then create a wind direction sensor and link it to the previously created wind speed sensor in the ”Vector partner wind sensors” selection box in the ”Settings Details” window. Now open the ”Settings Details” window of the channel with the wind speed sensor and connect it to the corresponding wind direction sensor. If no vector partner is selected in each case, the calculation of the mean value for the wind direction is still vectorial, whereby a wind speed of constant 1 m/s is calculated. In this case, the mean value of the wind speed is calculated scalar. 7.3.5.3.

  • Page 88: Process Control

    LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL 9.1. Process control If the process control is activated alone, the system carries out a simple on/off function according to the settings Start time / End time. The indication of the time span refers to the system time used in the Ser[LOG] (e. g. UTC, MEZ, daylight saving time). In the basic state (set condition not fulfilled) the respective relay is on contact ”S0” (OFF). As soon as the Ser[LOG] is switched on, the relays are initialized and the Ser[LOG] switches the relays according to the set logic. If the process control is combined with one of the other functions ”cycle control”,”error monitoring” or ”range monitoring”, then the process control limits this function to a certain period of time per day. Time windows can be selected in which the subordinate switching function is to take place. The process control and the other functions are linked to each other with a logical ”AND”. The process control is superior to the other functions when used in combination and determines the working period of the other control functions through the set time window The process control is activated via the checkbox ”Process control active”. In the fields next to the ”Start time” the time in hour (HH), minute (MM) and second (SS) is set, at which the respective switching channel is set to 1 (ON). Accordingly, the time in hour (HH), minute (MM) and second (SS) for which the respective switching channel is set to 0 (OFF) is set in the fields next to the ”End time”. The set time always refers to the set local time of the Ser[LOG]. 9.2. Cycle control The cycle control provides a regular switch-on and switch-off function which is repeated at equal intervals. In the basic state (set condition not fulfilled) the respective relay is on contact ”S0” (OFF). As soon as the Ser[LOG] is switched on, the relays are initialized and the Ser[LOG] switches the relays according to the set logic. If the process control is combined with the cycle control, then the process control limits this function to a certain time period per day. Time windows can be selected in which the cycle control is to take place. The process control and cycle control are quasi-interlinked with a logical ”AND”.

    LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL It applies: Switch-on time = cycle time minus lead time span Deactivation time = cycle time plus delay time span Duration of the switching process = flow + run-on time In order to exclude simultaneous switching on and off (time span = 0), the entered numerical values in the two fields ”Forward” and ”After-run” must not be 00:00:00 at the same time! EXAMPLE OF A COMBINATION OF PROCESS CONTROL AND CYCLE CONTROL In the example above, relay 1 switches on every minute for 20 seconds (10 seconds advance + 10 seconds follow-up) from 7:00 to 17:00. 9.3.

    LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL The ”Delay” field is used to set the minimum time for which an error must be present before the output is switched. The delay time can be set in the range from 0 to 60 seconds to suppress any errors that occur only briefly if necessary. Error monitoring can be combined with process control and area monitoring. A simultaneous cycle control together with error monitoring at the same switching output is not possible! 9.4. Area monitoring The range monitoring is used to monitor limit values (MIN/MAX) while simultaneously taking into account the data from up to three different sensors. By means of additional selection boxes ”ON within” and ”ON outside”, it can be determined in which range the switching function is to take place. In the basic state (set condition not fulfilled) the respective relay is on contact ”S0” (OFF). As soon as the Ser[LOG] is switched on, the relays are initialized and the Ser[LOG] switches the relays according to the set logic. Area monitoring cannot be combined with cycle control! Area monitoring can be combined with process control and error monitoring. 9.4.1. Simple area monitoring (OR operation) Up to 3 sensors can be selected for range monitoring per switching output. If different sensors (1 to max. 3) are selected for range checking, the sensor data is linked via a logical ”OR operation”, i. e. a switching process takes place when a limit value condition is reached. page – aem.eco...
  • Page 91: Group-Related Area Monitoring (And Operation)

    LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL The area monitoring is activated via the checkbox ”Area monitoring active”. The time in hours (HH), minutes (MM) and seconds (SS) for which the event (area violation) must be present is set in the fields next to the ”On delay” before the respective switching channel is set to 1 (ON). Correspondingly, in the fields next to the ”Off-delay end”, the time in hours (HH), minutes (MM) and seconds (SS) for which the event (range violation) is no longer present is set before the respective switching channel is reset to 0 (OFF) again. In the ”Measurement channel” selection box, the sensor value (measurement channel) to be monitored is selected. The limit values for range monitoring are entered in the ”Minimum” and ”Maximum” fields below them. The minimum numerical value must always be smaller than the maximum numerical value! The switching logic can be set via the checkboxes ”ON within” and ”ON outside”. Either the checkbox ”ON within” can be activated and thus a warning can be issued as soon as the measured value is found within the range configured with ”Minimum” and ”Maximum” or the check-box ”ON outside”, whereby a warning occurs as soon as the measured value is outside the config-ured range. EXAMPLE - SIMPLE AREA MONITORING The relay signals that the temperature limit value (S 03) has been exceeded when the set maximum limit value is exceeded: 25 °C...
  • Page 92 LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL If only 1 value range is to be monitored, the same values must be entered for ”Measuring channel 2” and ”Measuring channel 3” at ”Minimum” and ”Maximum” respectively. (See example ”Area monitoring wind speed AND wind direction (1 segment)” below. If 2 value ranges are to be monitored, one value range must be entered for ”Measuring channel 2” at ”Minimum” and ”Maximum” and for ”Measuring channel 3” the other value range must be entered at ”Minimum” and ”Maximum”. (See example ”Area monitoring wind speed AND wind direction (2 segments)” below. This assignment results in the following switching condition: The switching process is triggered when the limit values of measuring channel 1 AND measuring channel 2 OR measuring channel 3 are exceeded. EXAMPLE - AREA MONITORING WIND SPEED AND WIND DIRECTION (1 SEGMENT) The relay signals that the wind speed limit value (S05) has been exceeded only in a 45 to 315 degree segment when the wind direction is northbound. For only one segment of the wind direction, the same entries must be made in both fields. The segment from ”45 to 315 degrees around north” goes above the zero point of the full circle. Since the minimum numerical value must always be smaller than the maximum numerical value, the switching logic ”ON outside” must be set here.

In the selection box of the ”Modbus Relay” column, a relay from the Modbus relay database is loaded. Similar to the sensor database, own Modbus relays can also be defined. Please refer to the following chapter 9.5.1. In the selection box of the ”Modbus Interface” column, the interface on which the Modbus relay is located is selected. Available for selection: • COM X - Modbus relay (X = each configured COM interface) • Modbus TCP The device address of the respective Modbus relay must be entered in the field of the column ”RTU address”. If ”Modbus TCP” is selected as the ”Modbus interface”, the fields ”Modbus TCP address” and ”TCP port” are also displayed, which must be filled in accordingly. The TCP port is usually set to its default port 502. The Modbus relay is assigned to a switching output via the selection box in the ”Trigger” column. If this switching output trips, the corresponding Modbus relay is switched. Multiple use of a switching output is possible. 9.5.1. Definition of new Modbus relays Pressing the button ”Define Modbus relay” in the main selection opens the ”Settings Modbus relay settings” window.

    LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL 18.1. Switching the COM2 to COM6 from RS485 to RS422 The RS485 hardware drivers are activated at the COM2 to COM6 of the Ser[LOG] (factory-set). By loosening the two Torx screws (size Tx6) the small cover on the right above the COM ports can be removed and the jumper fields underneath can be reached. The hardware drivers of the COM interfaces COM2-COM6 can be switched from RS485 to RS422 via the lower jumper field. COM 1 can only be operated as RS232 or RS422. Switching to RS485 is not possible! The functions of the COM interfaces that can be set are arranged in columns, with each column representing a COM interface, from left to right starting with COM1. The COM interfaces COM2-COM6 can be operated as RS485 if the two lower jumpers are inserted in the column of the respective COM interface. If the two lower jumpers are not plugged in, the interface can be operated as RS422. 18.2. Adding the terminating resistors for RS485 or RS422 As per factory-set, there are no terminating resistors connected to the COM1 to COM6 of the Ser[LOG]. If required, e.

    LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL 21. Data logger Ser[LOG]-NAV and Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL 21.1. Configuration of the ship operation In this input mask (see below), the functionality of the ship‘s wind measurement system is defined. This input mask can only be edited if the data loggers SYNMET, Ser[LOG]-NAV, or Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL are operated in “Ship” mode! When the “Ship” mode is activated (Ser[LOG]-NAV or Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL), the digital inputs DA and DB, as well as the relays R1 and R2, are reserved for ship-specific functions. They can then only be used for the port- starboard switching of two wind sensors. (See chapter „21.4. Connection of a port/starboard switch“).
  • Page 140 LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL In the list boxes “Vessel Heading”, “Vessel Course”, and “Vessel Speed”, the corresponding sensors of the onboard computer are selected. These sensors must be configured as serial measurement channels in the “Measurement Channels 1…40” or “Measurement Channels 41…60” register. The “Port/Starboard / True Wind” section defines the ship‘s wind calculation. In the “Function Type” list box, you can select whether only one wind sensor pair or two wind sensor pairs are connected. If only one sensor pair is connected, no automatic wind-dependent sensor selection takes place. If the “2 Sensors” function type is selected, the wind-dependent sensor selection is automatically activated. • In the “PT Wind Direction” and “PT Wind Speed” list boxes, the sensor pair for port (PT) is selected. If only one sensor pair is available, it is also selected here. • In the “STB Wind Direction” and “STB Wind Speed” list boxes, the sensor pair for starboard (STB) is selected. From these two wind sensor pairs, the valid pair is determined. The data from the selected sensor pair is transferred to the sensors specified in the “PT/STB Wind Direction” and “PT/STB Wind Speed” list boxes. Typically, these are the ship-specific sensors “D* WR (PT/STB selected)“ and “D* WG (PT/STB selected)“. page – aem.eco...

    LAMBRECHT meteo | Ser[LOG] | Ser[LOG] Plus | Ser[LOG]-NAV | Ser[LOG]-NAV-MIL 21.2. Ship-specific special functions In the “Special Functions” section, various ship-specific functions can be enabled and configured, including: SET RTC WITH ZDA When this option is enabled, the Ser[LOG]-NAV provides its time (and date) via the NMEA protocol “ZDA.” LOCAL TIME OR UTC The system time is typically based on UTC. However, it can be switched to local time if needed. 4 HZ ROTATION DETECTION In mechanical wind sensors (e.g., types 24513, 2455), wind vanes may begin to rotate slowly under unfavorable conditions, such as wind shading caused by nearby structures. The data logger Ser[LOG]-NAV can detect and correct this behavior if a mechanical wind direction sensor is connected that provides wind data with an update rate of at least 4 Hz. WIND PROCESSING PT STB The settings in the “Wind Processing PT STB” section influence the automatic port-starboard switching between two...

To generate and output NMEA data records, at least one COM port must be assigned to the NMEA protocol in the “Communication” register. An NMEA data record is activated by selecting the corresponding checkbox. Each data record is assigned to a COM port. If the necessary hardware is available, a data record can be output on up to five COM ports simultaneously.
