Serial Communincations

Meter Address/Scanner ID: 1 – 247, 256-259 (for Volts and mA).

Turn Around Delay: Less than 2 ms (fixed)
Operating Modes: 
   MASTER: Processes data read from Modbus RTU slave devices. It polls up to 16 process variables from 1 to 16 slave devices. The Master is capable of scanning the selected PVs, scale the data, trigger relays, perform math operations, and drive the analog outputs.
   SNOOPER: Listens to the Modbus traffic and picks up a specific register or registers being polled by a master device from a specific slave device and processes the data being read. The Snooper mode handles the data the same way as the Master.
   SLAVE: Processes data sent to it from a Modbus RTU master device. 
PV Number: PV1–PV16 Enable or disable the process variables to be polled by the Master.
Slave ID: Assign the slave ID or address (1-247, 256-259 for mA or volts inputs) containing the process variables to be displayed by the selected PV.
Function Code: Select which Modbus function code (03, 04, or 65) to use in reading the slave device.
Register Number: 5 digit: 30001-39999, 40001-49999, or 1-65,536 
6 digit: 300001-365536 or 400001-465536 (Function Code 65 N/A here) Specifies which register(s) to read in the slave device. Range is dependent on Function Code selection (65, 04, or 03) and digits selection (5 or 6).
Data Type: Select the data format that the slave device uses. Select between Short integer (2 byte), Long integer (4 byte), or floating point (4 byte), Signed or Unsigned (integer only) and byte order: 1234, 4321, 2143, or 3412 (big-endian vs. little-endian, or swapped).
Poll Time: 1.0 to 99.9 sec. Time between read-commands (Master mode).
Slave Response Timeout: 0.0 to 99.9 seconds: Time allowed for the slave to respond before the scanner generates a communication break condition. The master polls the slave 3 times before starting the response timeout timer. Slave/Snooper mode: Time the scanner will wait for new data before going into break condition. Slave mode: Programming 0 disables the timeout; the last value received will be displayed indefinitely.
Communication Breakdown: Displays “brEAK” after the Master has polled the slave device 3 times and the response timeout has elapsed. The Snooper and Slave modes go into break condition after no new data is received within the response timeout window. Relays can be programmed to go on, off, or ignore the break condition. The analog outputs can be setup to generate a fixed mA current when a break condition is detected.
Programmable Constants: Constant P (Adder): -99999 to 999999, default: 0.000; Constant F (Factor): 0.00001 to 999999, default: 1.000
Math Functions: Addition, difference, absolute difference, average, multiplication, division, max of A or B, min of A or B, draw, weighted average, ratio, concentration. See instruction manual for details.
Tag & Units: 6-character, independent tag and units for each PV and math channel.
PV Format: PD6080 default: Decimal format. PD6081 default: FT & IN, 1/8th or 1/16th; decimal format may be selected for bottom display indication. Display Decimal Point: Up to five decimal places or none: d.ddddd, dd.dddd, ddd.ddd, dddd.dd, ddddd.d, or dddddd
Float Decimal Point: Select the number of decimals to use for the floating point data expected from the slave or master device (this is independent from the display decimal point selection).
PV & Math Scaling: All PVs and math channels may be scaled to represent the input data in any engineering unit.
   Example: Level transmitter = 999.999 inches; to display in Ft-In-1/16th scale input 2 to display 83 Ft – 4 In – 0/16th.
Scan Mode: Automatic: 1.0 to 99.9 seconds.
   Manual: Front panel or digital inputs
   Go on alarm: Continues scanning after an alarm is detected
   Stop on alarm: Goes to the alarmed PV and stops scanning; press Scan to resume scanning.

Applications

Signal Input Conditioning

Non-linear input signals (i.e. weirs & flumes, differential pressure, etc.) can be linearized with the PROVU’s simple to use built-in signal input conditioning, such as: square-root extractor, exponential linearizer, round horizontal tank linearizer, or the PROVU powerful general purpose 32-point linearizer (32 point for for PV1 & PV2 only – all other PVs use two linearization points).

ScanView Software

ScanView software allows for the programming and monitoring of ProVu, ProtEX-MAX, and Helios series Modbus scanners. Use ScanView to program, monitor, and datalog using a PC. The PVs and math channels may be selected to display on the monitoring screen independently, and the monitoring screen can be customized so each has a configurable unit and tag. Even the display number colors may be changed. All 16 PVs, math channels, and their units and tags may be logged. The data is logged on the PC, and is available for use in common tools like Microsoft Excel. All configuration data can be saved to a file for future use.
