This is micro-processor based Donnelly chute level indictor Transmitter with isolated o/p (4-20 mA), 10nos digital optical o/p , 2 relay control, Modbus Communication and Input 4-20mA .The instrument is field programmable and user friendly. In this Instrument user can be set sensor sensitivity, sensor level selection, sample delay time and relay set point etc. The user can be set level 2-10 then instrument automatically tune for o/p 4-20 mA and display 0-100% . In This instrument user can select any of the given input Parameter options:

A. Option 0 = Probe type Conductivity sensors / Capacitive proxy Sensors (NPN Type).

B. Option 1 = 4-20mA input (Display 0-100% with LED Bar graph & o/p 4-20mA.

C. Option 2 = in this Option it will read date value (0-100 8 Bit) from PLC /DCS/computer etc. Via standard Modbus (RS-485) and it can work Retransmission 4-20mA o/p.

Installation & Commissioning

Installation of Photo-sensors

On one side of Donnelly chute level we have to place acrylic sheet (transparent sheet)

A tube light is being placed just in front of Donnelly chute in such a way that the light falls on sensor.

Each sensor has two wires (red and black), the black wires of all of them will be connected together and then we will be join them with GND connector which is at the back side of transmitter.
Every red wire will be connected to S1 toS10 which are at the backside of transmitter

IR Photo-sensor Calibration

Tube light must be ON and the light will fall on the sensors.

Transmitter power should be ON.

We will press PRG key and select S1 parameter.

Sensor 1 has been selected now adjust up and down (to adjust the sensitivity until the LED glows)

Now we will check whether the LED will be closed or not when the hindrance will be present between the light beam. if it gets closed it is good enough otherwise re-adjust the sensitivity.

To store this modified value of sensitivity press hold PRG key then press Enter key.

In the same way we have to do for all other sensors too.

NOTE – when the process is done we have to select input parameter and set
GND value 3.
Hence the installation and calibration process is completed.
S1To S10
Tube Light
Note: Black wire of all sensors should
be connected GND connector of TX
and Red wire
Must be connected with s1 to s10
M11NX IR Photo Sensor

Note:- If interlocking (enable parameter) is enable then it will read input level in sequence 1-10 if any level misplaced then it will not show above levels. And the interlocking (enable parameter) is zero then it will read as a normal level sensor.

Snt: Sensor Sensitivity adjustment

Trl: sample Delay adjustment for 4-20mA input

RL1 and rL2: Relay set point (0-100)

snt(sensitivity adjustment Parameter)

In this parameter user can set sensitivity of every (1-10 sensors) level sensor through key pad. The sensor value can be set in this parameter 93(Max.) to (200min.) sensitivity and it is normally set 100 value of every sensor. If snt set 93 then i/p led direct on without input connection.

Lst(level selection parameter)

The user can be set input level 2-10 then instrument automatically tune for o/p 4-20 mA and display 0-100%

Trl = 20 set
rL1,rL2 : Relay set point value

Input (Parameter)

In this parameter use can select 0-3 value of inputs selections.

* If selected input value 0, In this mode it will read 10 Nos probe type conductivity sensors.

* If selected input value 1, in this mode it will read 4-20mA input and according two input it will display 0-100% and Retransmission 4-20mA isolated ,two Nos relay control and input (red colours) LED bar graph and 10Nos digital optical output etc.

* If selected input value 2, in this mode it will read date value (0-100 8 Bit) from PLC /DCS/computer etc. Via standard Modbus (RS-485) and it can work Retransmission 4-20mA Isolated with input LED bar graph and relay control etc.

* If Select Input value 3, In this mode it will read 1-10 Nos IR Photo input sensors( NPN type)

ID ( Modbus Communication Address 1-255 )

In this parameter use can set address (Id-1-255) for Modbus communication.

Enb ( Sensor Interlocking Parameter)

In this parameter user can set sensor interlocking enable /disable.

Note: 0=Disable / 1=Enable

If selected 1 then it will read input levels in sequence 1-10 Nos if any level misplaced then it will not show above levels.

Hysterics (his):

in this parameter user can set relay cut off value set point (His 1, His 2).

Sample Delay Timer(trl) :

Timer: In this parameter user can set input sample delay time. it will work when user selected as input 4-20mA.

 

Modbus communication protocol:

 Baud Rate: 9600 B/S

 Data Bit : 8Bit

 Parity : None

 Stop Bit :One

The instrument has standard modbus communication via RS-485 The user can read /write parameter value and display levels value etc.

• If user want to write value (0-100 ) on the instrument Through PLC/DCS/Computer to take Retransmission of 4-20mA and display 0-100, 10 nos LED bar graph etc then value 2 must be selected in the input parameter.

Troubleshooting

1. Fault 01 : If Display Eror1
2. Fault 03 : if Display 100% value on fnd display without any input.
3. Fault 02 : if Display Eror2

4. Fault 04 : If Display oPn (Open)
5. Fault 05 : Rs 485 not communicate .
6. Fault 06 : Communication is ok but master not write value(0-100) on Level Transmitter.

Fault 02: if system display Eror2 message it means stored data has be corrupted now switch off of power and press and hold up and ENT key now switch on of power and hold up to counting display 1 to 9 now release Both key.

Fault 01: if Display Eror1 message it means wrong level select, now re-select level in Lst Parameter (2-10)

Fault 03 : If 100% value On Fnd display and all input led(red colored) glow without input level connection, it means sensitivity low than 100 value, now go to calibration process & Select snt parameter and set 100 value of every sensor.

Note: If snt parameter set93 then i/p led direct on without input connection.

Fault 04 : Input connection may be disconnected or polarity changed or input 4-20mA fail . Pls check input connection and 4-20mA etc.

Fault 05 : check connection D+ D- between master and level transmitter, check id parameter value of level transmitter and master id, It should be same , check master baud rate(9600 B/s) ,Address value of parameters etc.

Fault 06 : If use write command by the master then value 2 must be set in input parameter.
