Programming the logger 6 Programming the logger Introduction Before a logger can be installed in the field, the device has to be properly configured. In doing so, you can specify the inputs, the logging intervals, the alarm conditions and the radio communication settings, among other things. Requirements The device must be switched on and a connection between the device and the computer is needed. For a radio link • an interface must be connected to the computer (e.g.
Programming the logger 6.1 Selecting the logging interval You can select the time interval in which the measured values are logged from the Log Interval drop-down list. 6.2 Configuring a measuring channel Introduction Depending on its configuration, up to 4 sensors can be connected to a logger. In order to evaluate the logged data in the right way, the logger needs to know which type of sensor is connected to which channel.
Programming the logger 6.2.1 Selecting the type of sensor Introduction The physical value measured by the sensor is transformed into an electrical signal (e.g. voltage, pulses, frequency) which is used to transmit the data to the logger. In order to transform this carrier signal back into the original physical values, the logger needs to know how the ranges are correlated to each other. Procedure Select the sensor connected to the channel from the drop-down list on the upper left of the window.
Programming the logger 6.2.1.2 Configuring a ‘user defined’ sensor Introduction In the case of a ‘user defined’ sensor which is not contained in the mentioned Drop-Down-List, the input type (carrier) and the unit of the physical value have to be specified manually. Furthermore, the upper and lower thresholds of the input signal and the correlating measurement values have to be specified.
Programming the logger 6.2.1.3 Input type examples Input type Voltage A 10 bar pressure sensor with voltage output is connected to a channel of the logger. Input type: Unit: Voltage 0-5V bar The lower limit of the measuring range (0 bar) is indicated by a voltage value of 0 V while the upper limit (10 bar) correlates with 5 V. As a result, the fields must be populated as follows: The maximum permissable input voltage is 5 V.
Programming the logger Input type Pulse A flowmeter with a digital pulse output is connected to a channel of the logger. The flowmeter transmits one pulse per 16 litres. Input type: Unit: Pulse l The checkbox Fast-pulse-mode must be activated if a sensor is used with a pulse rate >50 Hz (ie, more than 50 pulses per second). Otherwise, it may result in inaccurate measurements. Select whether the flow shall be measured per hour or per second.
Programming the logger 6.2.2 Configuring alarm conditions (Threshold monitoring) Introduction The device can trigger an alarm whenever a specified minimum or maximum threshold is crossed. That way, • alarm messages can be sent via SMS and / or e-mail (if GSM connectivity has been established and properly configured) • an unscheduled measuring data upload to your FTP server can be performed (if GSM connectivity has been established and properly configured) • up to two connected devices (e.g.
Programming the logger Configuring Perform the following steps to configure the alarm thresholds: alarm trigger Step Description 1 In the segment Alarm Trigger – Settings specify whether there is a minimum and / or a maximum threshold to be monitored by activating the respective checkbox(es). 2 Enter the minimum and / or the maximum threshold into the respective field(s).
Programming the logger Defining exceptions The segment Alarm Trigger – Exceptions offers the possibility to modify the alarm setting, entered under Alarm Trigger - Settings, for specific periods of time (certain days of the week or even periods of time in a day). Example: The following picture shows a possible setting: Here, from Monday to Friday an alarm is switched on as soon as the input signal falls below a value of 2.
Programming the logger 6.3 Configuring the alarm inputs Introduction Depending on its configuration a logger can be equipped with up to two switching inputs (alarm inputs) which can be connected to active circuits. For each of these inputs it can be specified which input voltage value causes an alarm. As known from the channel configuration, an alarm can trigger up to two internal relays. If your logger is equipped with a GSM modem, alarm messages can be sent via SMS and / or e-mail.
Programming the logger Step Description The input voltage threshold is 2.5 V. Any voltage value below 2.5 V is interpreted as 0 V while voltages higher than 2.5 V are interpreted as 5 V. In order to ensure a reliable classification, the actual voltage values should not be too close to 2.5 V. 2 Specify under Alarm Destinations which type of alarm message shall be sent (SMS and / or e-mail and / or data upload to FTP server) and which Internal Relay shall switch to trigger the connected device.
Programming the logger 6.4 Configuring the mobile communication Introduction If your logger is equipped with an internal GSM modem, data transfer and alarm messaging via UMTS / GPRS can be realised. For this purpose, a UMTS / GPRS-enabled SIM card (data contract) is required which can be obtained from almost any local mobile network operator. Usually, all the data required to set up mobile data transfer is provided within the mobile network contract.
Programming the logger 6.4.1 Explanations about the GSM configuration dialogue The picture shows the GSM configuration dialogue: You find explanations on the individual segments of the configuration dialogue in the following table: Segment Parameter SIM Card Settings Enter the PIN code of the SIM card which is being used in the device (see mobile communication contract or ask your provider).
