165-072011 TH CD-100 Power Suppl y Page 4 of 28 1. GENERAL INFORMA TION The THCD-100 is a multi featured process display controller, capable of interf acing dir ectly to a mass flow meter, mass flow controller or another proce ss transducer such as the THPS-760S Vacuum Transducer. The THCD-100 is a single channel unit which can be used to power a b[...]

Installation The THCD-100 can be panel mounted, or used on a bench top and is a standard 96 x 48mm panel meter enclosure. Note that the in strument must always be situated in such a wa y as to enable adequate air circulation about the unit. If a transducer wa[...]

165-072011 TH CD-100 Power Suppl y Page 7 of 28 2.5. Power Connection Socket The THCD-100 requires a 24V, 500mA supply to operate. This must be a rectified and regulated di rect current supply, capable of 15W (recommended). Although the THCD-100 has an internal fuse and power supply overload shutdown protection the supply to th e THCD-100 should be[...]

165-072011 TH CD-100 Power Suppl y Page 8 of 28 3. FEA TURES 3.1. Introduction This section describes the principles used in the THCD-100. It de tails the various settings for the inputs and the outputs including setpoint control. It does no t detail any servicing or calibratio n procedures. 3.2. Analog Inputs The THCD-100 has two analog voltag e i[...]

165-072011 TH CD-100 Power Suppl y Page 9 of 28 (assuming setpoint is in AU TO mode and not a slave source), then the output voltage of the setpoint woul d be 0.5V. The setpoint does have some configuration parameters th at can be used to alter the function of the setpoi nt control and they are detailed as follows: a) Setpoint Mode The setpoint can[...]

165-072011 TH CD-100 Power Suppl y Page 10 of 28 b) Filter Size The size of the filter is currently configurable between 0 an d 6 seconds and simply indicates the amount of readings that are taken and b uffered to calculate and show the avera ged reading. A filter size of 0 will naturally turn off the filt ering, irrespective of the band setting. I[...]

Front Panel Screens Here follows a complete breakd own of all THCD-100 screens: a) Main Screen (not ch anging setpoint) The main screen comes in two forms. The fi rst shows the main channel input data (with range, fullscale and calibration applied) and the associated units string. If an input is[...]

165-072011 TH CD-100 Power Suppl y Page 13 of 28 c) Main Menu Screen The Main Menu screen provides a path to select sc reens that are used for the configuration of the THCD-100 – the setpoint (value, mode, source), in put (range, full scale, units stri ng), digital communications, display filtering and rel ays can all be configured from screen s [...]

165-072011 TH CD-100 Power Suppl y Page 14 of 28 Input Screen This screen allows you to change the input c han nel range and full scale voltage (see the Principles section (5.2) for more informatio n on this) and also assign a un its label (up to 5, non-scaling characters) for the channel data. The number of deci mal places selected on the range fi[...]

Switch Functions: Func Go back to Main Menu screen ◄ Go to previous menu selection ► Go to next menu selection ▲ No function ▼ No function Zero G[...]

165-072011 TH CD-100 Power Suppl y Page 16 of 28 h) Relay Screen This screen allows you to set the trip point for when the relay switches. The relay also contains some hysteresis to st op it ‘chattering’. This i s configurable from this screen as well and is represented as a percentage of full scale of th e input channel, with limit s of 0.0% ([...]

Calibration, in fact, all controls available through the fr ont panel, are available as commands sent using serial communications. Serial communications is av[...]

This has proven to be a more robust output method. c. Setpoint Value – ‘spv’ This command is used to set the value of the command setpoint. The co mmand takes one parameter which is the act[...]

Again this command provides a way of setting an initial st artup mode for the setpoint on power up of the THCD. It takes one parameter which is a numbe r be tween[...]
