Micromod Micro-DCI: 53ML5100A LOADING STATION - Manual (Page 5)

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 53ML5100 Manual Loading Station provides the capability to manually adjust and display
one or two current outputs. Each output is independently configurable as a 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA
signal. The Manual Loading Station can also accept two input process variables that are each pre-
sented on separate displays. The two input process variables have independent configurable input
current/voltage ranges (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, 1-5 V), with linear or square root signal extrac-
tion, and smoothing selections from 0 seconds to 1638 seconds (first order filtering). Axis scale
ranges, tag names, measured units, and forward/reverse valve indicators are configurable display
attributes. A suite of six operator displays is used to monitor the two input process variables
and the two manually controlled current outputs. The displays are a mix of dynamic bar graphs
that include a Dual Channel Manual Loader Display (Channels 1&2)
• a Single Channel Man-
ual Loader Display (Channel 1 only) • two Manual Loader with Analog Input Displays (Chan-
nel 1 and Channel 2) • and two Analog Input Indicator with Setpoint Displays (Channel 1 and
Channel 2). Presentation order of the six operator displays is configurable. The operator displays
are paged forward or back, in the order configured, by pressing a 2 (page forward) or a 1 (page
back) push button on the horizontal keypad of the instrument. The operator display suite is illus-
trated in Figure 1-1 and the instrument horizontal keypad is identified in Figure 1-2.
Dual Channel Manual Loader Display (Channels 1&2) - both channel outputs are presented as
horizontal bar graphs with tag names and digital readouts of the output percentage. Channel 1
(Analog Output 0 [ANO-0]) occupies the upper half of the display and channel two (Analog Output
1 [ANO-1]) occupies the lower half of the display. A thick border around the perimeter of the upper
or lower display half indicates a selected channel for manual output control. The thick border alter-
nately appears on the upper or lower display halves each time the 3 push button is pressed. This
display focuses attention on the channel 1 and 2 outputs.
Single Channel Manual Loader Display (Channel 1 only) - channel 1 (ANO-0) output is pre-
sented as a horizontal bar graph with a tag name and digital readout of the output percentage.
It has a permanent thick border to indicate selection for manual output control. This display ap-
plies when a single output is required and focuses attention on that output.
Manual Loader with Analog Input Displays (Channel 1 and Channel 2) - two displays, one for
each channel. Each display has a vertical bar graph for analog input process variable (PV) indica-
tion and a horizontal bar graph for analog output manual control indication. The vertical bar graph
has a 50 segment axis and the horizontal bar graph has a 40 segment axis. Also, the vertical axis
has a numeric range (zero and span) and the horizontal axis has the forward/reverse valve indica-
tors (C for close, O for open). An input channel tag name appears in the upper left corner of the
display. A digital readout with measured units for the analog input channel appears under the let-
ters PV in the upper half of the display. A digital readout for the analog output channel appears un-
der the horizontal bar graph. These two displays are in standard F&P MICRO-DCI format.
Analog Input Indicator with Setpoint Displays (Channel 1 and Channel 2) - two displays, one
for each channel. Each display has a vertical bar graph for analog input process variable (PV) indi-
cation and a setpoint (SP) arrowhead for analog output manual control indication. The vertical bar
graph appears on the left side, parallel to a 50 segment vertical axis. The setpoint arrowhead ap-
pears on the right side of the vertical axis. Also, the vertical axis has a numeric range (zero and
