MPA386 M6

Product catalog summary
General Overview
The MPA386 and MPV376 models are advanced instruments featuring a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter within a 48x96 standard body. They include a 4 ½ digit display, peak-hold functions, programmable digital filters, and display reset capabilities. Optional features encompass serial outputs, relay alarms, static alarm triggers, and regulated voltage outputs for transducer supply.
Technical Characteristics
Inputs include TA/5A and TA/1A with specific input impedances, and a voltage input with 1MΩ impedance. Outputs feature exchange relays and static NPN/PNP outputs. The power supply ranges from 90-260 Vac/Vdc to 12-30 Vac/Vdc, with dimensions of 48 x 96 x 120 mm.
Display Signals
Error codes and signals such as over-range, under-range, and serial output errors are defined, indicating issues with input, output, and parameter settings.
Wiring and Connections
Detailed descriptions of terminal board connections and keyboard functions are provided, including connection diagrams for MPA and MPV series, as well as for relay and static alarms.
Programming Tips
Instructions for menu navigation, digit changes, and selection confirmations are outlined, with references to base and options instrument menu flows.
Installation Procedures
Simplified and complete installation procedures are described, covering wiring connections, power-up instructions, and setup of zero, full scale, and alarm values. The use of front keys and display reset functions are also explained.
Functions and Options
Details on the peak-hold function, filter function, analogue outputs, alarms, and serial outputs are provided, including setup instructions and technical specifications.
Password and Security
The document outlines the use of passwords for accessing programming menus and securing instrument settings.
Notes
Additional notes on setup, operation, and troubleshooting are included to assist users in effectively utilizing the instruments.
Memory and Display Settings
The instrument allows data memorization to zero using the 'OFFS' menu item. Serial outputs can be configured for display transmission, with examples illustrating zeroing the display when linked with a transducer.
Default Parameters
The 'DEF' function resets the instrument to factory settings, erasing previous configurations, with a step-by-step guide for resetting parameters using specific key sequences.
Front Keys Enabling
Front keys can be disabled or enabled through the programming menu, with procedures for configuring key functions such as 'AL', 'Reset', 'dp', 'ZERO', and 'FS'.
Peak-Hold Function
The 'PICC' function stores the highest or lowest readings, displaying them continuously or for a set time, incompatible with serial output configurations. Examples demonstrate its operation.
Filter Function
Filtering modes include the number of averages ('n.FIL'), delta window ('dEL'), and retention time ('PEr'), with programming instructions for setting these parameters.
Analogue Outputs
The instrument supports voltmeter and ammeter outputs, with options for 0-10V, 0-20mA, and 4-20mA outputs. Configuration involves setting reading values (IS and FS) and corresponding output values (ISO and FSO), with technical characteristics and installation instructions included.
Alarms
Up to 8 static or 4 relay alarms can be configured, with settings for hysteresis, delay time, and window signals. Programming methods for minimum, maximum, and window alarms, including setting points and delay types, are detailed.
Specifications and Setup Procedures
The document outlines setup procedures for the MPA-MPV/M6 series instruments, focusing on alarm settings, serial communication, and terminal configurations. Key setup steps include selecting and confirming parameters using specific keys, setting hysteresis and delay types, and configuring alarms.
Serial Communication
The instruments support both unidirectional and bidirectional serial communication via RS232, RS422, or RS485 lines. Configuration details for terminals, baud rate settings, and address programming are provided, along with explanations of the ASCII protocol and examples of data transmission strings.
Data Transmission and Reception
The document describes data reading and writing processes between the host and the instrument, including error handling and response codes like NACK and ACK, with examples of transmission strings and checksums for data integrity.
Command Codes and Alarm Settings
A comprehensive list of command codes is provided for programming various parameters of the instrument. Alarm setup, including window, delay time, and hysteresis settings, is explained, along with the use of status words for relay status and delay types.
Additional Features
The MPA-MPV/M6 series includes features like peak-hold reset and generic status word configuration, enhancing control and monitoring capabilities.
Hexadecimal Data Transmission Scheme
This section outlines the scheme for transmitting hexadecimal data, represented by a sequence of binary digits.
7.10 BASIC PROGRAM
This section provides a basic program example for reading the set-point of an instrument using a host computer, including error handling, communication setup via COM1 port, and reading input data. It demonstrates how to send a command and wait for a response, extracting and displaying the relevant data.
8.0 PASSWORD FUNCTION
The password function allows users to protect programmed information from misuse. The default password is 0, but users can set a password between 0 and 9999. The password is required to access the programming menu. If the correct password is entered, users can modify settings; otherwise, they can only view them. Table 16 provides a step-by-step guide for entering and confirming passwords.
9.0 SET UPS
This section provides instructions for changing and storing programming numbers. Table 17 outlines the sequence of key presses required to modify trigger values and store them in the system.
10.0 NOTES
The instrument lacks a power switch and fuse, activating immediately upon receiving the correct voltage. Users should install an external two-phase switch and protective fuse for safety. It is advised to keep power lines separate from signal lines and avoid exposure to power elements, humidity, acids, and heat sources. Mect srl disclaims responsibility for damages resulting from improper use of the instrument.
