PROCESS & TEMPERATURE INPUTS

Nova Digital Meters use a single universal input that accepts process and temperature inputs.

Thermocouple: J, K, T, E, R, B, S, L, N, U, W, Platinel II

RTD: Pt100 (0.00385), JPt100 (0.00392)

Process:

-10 to 20 mV, 0 to 100 mV 0.4 to 2 V, 1 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V 4 to 20 mA input with a resistor shunt

 

OPERATION

Alarm Relays

All PD560 Series Digital Meters have a standard 3 A Form C (SPDT) alarm relay. Up to two additional 1 A Form A (SPST) relays may be added. All relays can be programmed for a variety of alarm types.

• High/Low Alarms
   
• Set Point Deviation Alarms
   
• Fail-Safe and Standby Alarms
   
• Relay Delays and Reset Deadband
   

4-20 mA Retransmitting Output

A 4-20 mA powered output is standard on all PD560 Series models. The output can be programmed to transmit over any input scale for any input type.

Transmitter Loop Power Supply

The 4-20 mA retransmitting output may be configured to provide a 14 to 18 VDC @ 20 mA transmitter power supply.

Input Bias Adjustment

Up to five bias points can be used to provide precise offset adjustments at specific input values. The controller will use the offset to create a smooth input value curve leading up to the bias points.

Display Max/Min Input Values

PD560 Digital Meters can record and display maximum and minimum input values. These values will be stored until reset by the user power to the meter is lost. Through the use of the user defined displays, these values can be accessible with the push of the SET/ENT button.

Digital Input Max/Min Reset

Two digital inputs can be added as an optional feature. Digital inputs are activated by closing contacts or low logic levels. The configuration of the two inputs can be used to hold or reset the maximum and minimum input values simultaneously or independently.

	on	-	Start MIN, MAX
2	off	-	Reset MIN

NO switches (external excitation not required) or open collector transistor

Serial Communications & Adapters

Nova meters with the serial communications option can be used for data acquisition or with Modbus communication (RTU and ASCII). Nova meters transmit via RS-485. PDA7485 RS-232 to RS-485 isolated and non-isolated converters and PDA8485 USB to RS-485 isolated and non-isolated converters are available for use with the Nova Multi-Monitoring software or other PC applications.

Real Time Indication and Graphing

A detailed operation screen for each controller indicates the model number of the meter, PV, alarm conditions, and maximum and minimum input values. A live updating graph shows PV information as it is logged.

Data Acquisition

PV data can be logged independently for each meter, and each can have a distinct file name, save location, and logging interval. This data can be graphed using the Data Viewer for quick and clear analysis. Logged data can be exported into spreadsheet format.
