4. INTRODUCTION
®
The ALMEMO
2590 series is a new member in our family of unique measur-
ing devices - all equipped with Ahlborn's patented ALMEMO
tem. The intelligent ALMEMO
connecting sensors and peripherals because all parameters are stored in an
EEPROM located on the connector itself; repeat programming is thus no
longer necessary.
All sensors and output modules can be connected to all ALMEMO
instruments in the same way. Programming and functioning are identical for all
units. The following points apply to all devices in the ALMEMO
system; these are described in detail in the ALMEMO
ed in delivery with each device.

Overview of the device functions and measuring ranges (Manual Ch 2)
Basic principles, operation, and technical data for all sensors (Manual Ch 3)
Options for connecting your own existing sensors (Manual Ch 4)

The operating instructions you are now reading cover only those features and
controls that are specific to this device. Many sections therefore also refer to
the more detailed description in the Manual; (see Manual, Section xxx).

4.1 Functions

®
The ALMEMO
2590 series devices have 2, 3, or 4 electrically isolated mea-
suring inputs suitable for all ALMEMO
are virtually unlimited; there are 8 to 16 channels in the sensor connectors and
4 device-internal function channels - with over 70 measuring ranges. For oper-
ation purposes the device incorporates an LCD graphics display and a softkey
keypad with cursor block. The display can via sensor-specific menus (user-
configurable) adapt ideally to all applications. A memory connector (MMC card)
or 64-KB EEPROM can be used to implement a data logger function (types 3
and 4 only). There are two output sockets which can be used to connect any
®
ALMEMO
output modules, e.g. analog output, digital interface, trigger input,
or alarm contacts. Several devices can be networked by simply connecting
them with network cables.

4.1.1 Sensor programming

The measuring channels are programmed, completely and automatically, by
®
the ALMEMO
connectors. However, the user can easily supplement or modify
this programming via the keypad or via the interface.
