  1. DEMONSTRATION FOR SOLARTRON IMP DATA ACQUISITION MODULES Tempatron LtdData Measurements DivisionDarwin CloseReading RG2 0TBUK T : +44 (0) 118 931 4062 F : +44 (0) 118 931 0175 E : sales@tempatron.co.uk Left click mouse to start demonstration

  2. MAIN MENU WINDOW Select Devices to set up the measurement devices on the network.

  3. DEVICE SELECTION Select type of data logging equipment in use. iDAS is compatible with both Tempatron’s Sigma system and Solartron IMPS. This demonstration covers the IMP system only. The correct driver must be installed for each type of equipment. iDAS requires the use of a 35954C PCI card to handle communications between the PC and the IMP’s S-NET network. In this case select SOLARTRON IMPS.

  4. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP This screen shows the modules that are available on the network. To view the modules connected to the network, select Edit - Network Modules (or click on the network icon). iDAS will then search the network and interrogate all modules found.

  5. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP This screen shows the modules that are available on the network. To view the modules connected to the network, select Edit - Network Modules (or click on the network icon). iDAS will then search the network and interrogate all modules found.

  6. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP Note : This search may take some time as the software interrogates all of the network. All modules found on the network will be displayed in the resulting window. Click on the module(s) required.

  7. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP The module’s details can be transferred into iDAS by clicking on Read. Clicking OK returns to the module configuration screen

  8. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP Click OK to return to the module configuration screen

  9. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP The modules located on the network can now be configured. Select Edit – Configure Module, click the Configure Module icon, or double click on the module in the list.

  10. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP The modules located on the network can now be configured. Select Edit – Configure Module, click the Configure Module icon, or double click on the module in the list.

  11. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP Select the channel to be configured (IM1 in this case).

  12. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP When the correct module channel is highlighted click on Configure or double click on the channel.

  13. CHANNEL CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP Click on Enable Channel to set up theoperating parameters for each input channel.

  14. CHANNEL CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP The identification and operating parameters for each input channel can then be set up, including the measurement type, scale and units as well as alarm parameters. Each input channel to be used should be set up in this way. For convenience the Copy and Paste facility can be used. Click anywhere in the window to insert example values.

  15. CHANNEL CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP When all of the parameters are correctly set, click on the OK button to return to the channel selection screen

  16. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP When all the required channels are set, click the OK button to return to the module configuration screen.

  17. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP To save the module configuration, select File – Save or click the save icon.

  18. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP To save the module configuration, select File – Save or click the save icon.

  19. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP Close this screen (File – Exit or x) to complete configuration of the modules connected to the system.

  20. MODULE CONFIGURATION – SOLARTRON IMP Close this screen (File – Exit or x) to complete configuration of the modules connected to the system.

  21. SET UP IDAS INTERNAL CHANNELS Select Processors to set up iDAS “internal” channels.

  22. PROCESSORS – USER ANALOGUE CHANNELS User Analogue channels are "internal channels" that can be used in many ways. They can be used to hold manually input values, entered via the Channel Monitor Window, such as a set point or coefficient value required by an algorithm configured in the System's Calculator package. They can also hold the results of calculations performed by the Calculator package. Once configured User Analog Channels have the prefix 'P' and can be monitored, logged and replayed in the usual way. Select menu item to see its applications. Click x to return to the main menu

  23. PROCESSORS – USER DIGITAL CHANNELS The User Digital channels are "internal channels" that can be set ON or OFF in a number of ways. Using the channel monitor window the status of the User Digital channels can be changed by selecting the channel and pressing the spacebar. User Digital Channels can also be used as 'flags' in Calculator Algorithms Once configured, User Digital Channels have the prefix ‘Q' and can be monitored, logged and replayed in the usual way. Select menu item to see its applications. Click x to return to the main menu

  24. PROCESSORS – HISTORY CHANNELS The History processor provides a short term history over a user defined time period for up to 33 System Channels. The history of any System channel is recorded by a block of 30 contiguous channels given the prefix 'H'. The main use of these channels is to animate mini-trends in the Visual Environment animation package. History channels can also be used to provide a lag function in control algorithms. Select menu item to see its applications. Click x to return to the main menu

  25. PROCESSORS – DATA EXCHANGE Data can be exchanged with other software packages using the OpDdx Processor. This system is a data capture client that can connect to multiple OPC Servers and/or multiple DDE Servers. There are up to 1000 OpDdX channels available and they have the prefix 'D'. OpDdx Channels can be configured to cause events and alarms and can be monitored and logged like any other System Channel. Select menu item to see its applications. Click x to return to the main menu

  26. PROCESSORS – SYSTEM ERROR CHANNELS The System Error processor allows the user to Enable a set of channels which will report any errors that occur in the system and, if necessary, will generate alarms, or drive a common alarm. Select menu item to see its applications. Click x to return to the main menu

  27. PROCESSORS – CALCULATED CHANNELS The Calculator channels allow real-time calculations to be performed on data being collected by the System. Calculator channels are analogue channels whose value is calculated from a user specified formula. Any System channel can be used as part of a calculation, both digital or analogue, input or output. There are up to 1000 calculator channels available and have the prefix 'C'. Calculator Channels can be configured to cause events and alarms and can be monitored and logged like any other System Channel. Select menu item to see its applications. Click x to return to the main menu

  28. PROCESSORS – ALARM SYSTEM The alarm system processor is used to configure the alarms previously set up in channel configuration. The system will allow alarms to be printed, saved to log files and annunciated using SMS text messaging or via e-mail. Select menu item to see its applications. Click x to return to the main menu

  29. ENABLING THE SYSTEM To enable iDAS data acquisition, select Control – Enable or click the enable icon. iDAS will commence reading (but not logging to disk) the input data. iDAS data loggers have to be set up and enabled for data logging to commence.
