SP1 SP2 SP3 SP4 SP5 SP6Planning to Harness Use the the Tiger Power 320 Series of Tiger of 320 Programmable Meter Meter Controllers continuedDECISIONDeviceNetDeviceNet was originally developed by Allen Bradley toconnect sensors from the factory floor to PLCs. It is adeterministic real-time system, typically used to connect to networksusing Allen Bradley PLCs. An optional carrier board isrequired for DeviceNet which replaces the standard serial outputwith a dedicated DeviceNet output connector.<strong>Data</strong> LoggingThe Tiger 320 Operating System has built-in, sophisticateddata logging software. <strong>Data</strong> logging can be triggered from thePROGRAM button, digital inputs, time or alarm functions. Upto 1MB of optional extra on-board memory provides a powerful,multichannel data capture and acquisition system.PLANNINGTIPTiger PMCs can be configured to log in an endless loop,overwriting the oldest data first and utilizing the maximumamount of memory available. Similar to the BlackBox on an aircraft, the data can be downloaded for analysisafter a problem event occurs.PLANNINGTIPDECISION<strong>Data</strong> logging can be combined with an Ethernet converterto provide an individual Web Page with data thatcan be accessed by a browser over the internet.Real-time ClockThe Tiger meter has an optional real-time clock with a 15year lithium battery backup, ensuring that time informationis not lost in the event of a power failure. It can be configuredin 12 or 24-hour modes for printing and data logging applications.PLANNINGTIPDECISIONOther applications of the real-time clock include activatinga setpoint or control action at fixed times of the hour,day, week, month or year.Flash Card Memory ModuleFor long term data logging, a FlashCard Memory Module that plugs into the carrier board output socket isavailable. Flash Cards are available from4 to 128 meg. They can be removed andread by a standard card reader, or thedata can be downloaded through the serial port or over theinternet with an Ethernet converter. The module also has anSSR setpoint output to trigger an external event.Configuration and Programming witha PCDECISIONWith a serial output module installed, Tiger 320 PMCs aremost easily configured using the Tiger 320 ConfigurationUtility, which can be downloaded free from the web andrun on any Windows-based PC. The utility also enables theuser to access some special capabilities of the Tiger 320 whichcannot be programmed manually by the front panel buttons.Code BlankingCheck only thecodes you wantto seeDisplay Text EditingEdit display text tosuit your applicationPLANNINGTIPDevelopment SoftwareDECISIONCustom Macro ProgrammingThis powerful, easy to use development system enablesprograms to be written in BASIC, utilizing any combinationof the hundreds of functions and thousands of registersembedded in the Tiger 320 Operating System. When yourBasic program is compiled into the Tiger 320 Macro-languageit is error checked and optimized. There are also numerous offthe-shelfapplication specific programs available. Many onlyneed the blanks to be filled in to use them and do not requireany knowledge of BASIC programming.PLANNINGTIPMacros are useful when implementing any specializedcontrol system that cannot be achieved by the standardconfiguration capability of the Tiger 320 OperatingSystem. Using the development software, functions can bealtered or added in a standard meter to perform the requiredjob. This may typically include logic sequencing functions andmathematical functions.PLANNINGTIPDeveloping a Macro is much easier and quicker thanprogramming a PLC, because the basic code requiredto customize the Tiger meter is considerably less thanthe ladder logic programming required for PLCs. This is due tothe hundreds of functions built into the Tiger meter that can bemanipulated or invoked by a macro, to fulfill the requirementsof almost any application.Scrollingannunciatormessagescan be programmedPLANNINGTIPThe Configuration Utility requires that an RS-232 interfaceboard be installed in a Tiger 320 for programming.However, if the final application does not require a serialoutput, the RS-232 board can be easily removed, after programmingis completed, and kept for future use.PLANNINGTIPWhen a Tiger 320 is to be used in a custom application,the utility enables all or any of the front panel programmingfunctions to be disabled (code blanking).Customized descriptive text can also be entered to appear withany setpoint action or event.PLANNINGTIPDifferent configurations can be stored in a PC for fastdownloading into a meter by the user. Custom configurationscan also be issued a serial number and preloadedat the factory.Macro in thewriting stageto appear with any setpoint activation, selected events or logicinputs. Easy to read, plain text prompts can be programmed toreplace the manual programming codes and provide a userfriendlyinterface for any custom application.F1PF2Page 8Texmate, <strong>Inc</strong>. Tel.
