Hardware Quality Improvements Quantity Increases Quantifiable Results Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue
Hardware Introduction – Standard vs Q.i The IND780 Q.i hardware is basically the same as you would find for a Standard IND780 For that reason, we will skip over some of the more common configuration topics and focus on the ones related specifically to the Q.i Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 1
IND780 Q.i - Enclosure Options Harsh/Desktop Panel Mount Harsh environment/desk/wall/column mount: 200 x 299 x 235 mm Stainless Steel IP69K certified protection Wall/column mount bracket optional: adjustable viewing angles Panel mount: 220 x 320 x 105 mm Stainless Steel front panel Certified Type 4X/12 (ref. IP65) protection in appropriate enclosure Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 2
IND780 Q.i terminal 3 Six option card slots: I-Button (Hardware Key) Four scales or Twelve flow meters or Mix of scales and flow meters I-Button (Hardware Key) Battery TCP/IP Ethernet USB I-Button Socket Auto Sensing Power Supply Serial 1 Serial 2 Compact Flash (Memory Card) PLC Comm Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 3
Qi Channel Licensing 780 Qi uses a hardware key to enable Channel Licenses More robust than the software enabled mechanisms used by the JagXtreme. Requires hardware swap to change # of licenses (Master Reset required) Easily transferred to another IND780 (no special firmware required) Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 4
IND780 Terminal – Setup Scale card IND780 Q.i Scale card option board High Speed FCE Output Can be used to control scale based feeds Hint: Feed into a solid state relay to convert to a field level signal Slot 4 Can be placed in slots 1 thru 4 Up to 4 scale boards per IND780 Q.i chassis Slot 1 Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 5
IND780 Q.i - Flow Meter Card IND780 Q.i Flow Meter card option board Two completely isolated Flow Meter channels per card Interfaces to most Flow Meters that output pulses. Will function in all six IND780 Q.i option card slots Up to 6 cards per chassis for up to 12 Flow Meters per chassis Final Control Element (FCE) outputs directly on the card to control Flow Meter based feeds. Hint: Feed into a solid state relay to convert to a field level signal Very fast and accurate! Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 6
Capabilities – Communications & I/O Options Standard on an IND780 USB USB Master (Includes support for external keyboard) Ethernet Ethernet 10/100baseT 2 Serial Ports RS232 & RS232/422/485 ports Additional Serial Options Serial Single port up to 115K Baud RS232 or RS422 / RS485 Two cards per IND780 (4 total ports) Discrete I/O Option Solid State Relay I/O Relay Solid State I/O 4 inputs & 4 outputs per option card Two cards per IND780 Hint: Feed into a solid state relay to convert to a field level signal Remote Discrete I/O (ARM100) 4 inputs, 6 outputs (each) Up to 8 ARM100's per IND780 Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 7
Configuring the Flow Meter Board Press setup key on terminal Select “Board Settings” Use High (10 Hz) Option location = slot number Press Exit Terminal will reset to write the changes. Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 8
Configuring the Flow Meter Board - Continued Define resolution and units of value returned 3 2 1 How many ticks per unit Select Instrument These two work together. If incorrect, will get “Calibration Error” Time base for flowrate. Please only select "Seconds!" 5 4 Density of material relative to water. Not usually needed. Amount of time Flowrate is averaged over. Allows totalized amount to be zeroed via zero command Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 9
IND780 Terminal - Setup Ethernet Connection Ethernet Connection used for: Clustering Web Pages Shared Data Server IND780 Q.i Dashboard Navigate to "Communications | Network | Ethernet " Automatic IP Address assigned by Network Server - OR - Fixed IP Address setup here. Display IP Address in the Upper Left Corner of Display WARNING! Changing the IP Address configuration will cause the terminal to Reset when Setup is exited. Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 10
IND780 Terminal - Setup Cluster Navigate to "Communication | Network | Cluster | This Terminal" This address must be the same for all units in the cluster – but DIFFERNET from any other cluster. Be sure to change default address to avoid conflicts! Each unit in the cluster must have a unique node number. If there is only one unit in the cluster, this must still be set up! This is the first half of the Cluster Configuration – Done for all ALL terminals in the Cluster. Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 11
IND780 Terminal - Setup Cluster: Q.i Configuration This is the second half of the Cluster Configuration – Done only on the Master Terminal Navigate to "Application | Q.i Configuration | Terminal" This defines the type of PLC communications used. Select "Classic" unless access to special features is required. Note that this is NOT the same thing! Short feed is a special mode that allows running K1/K2 feeds below 7 seconds. Use only under direction of Mettler Toledo! Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 12
IND780 Terminal – Setup PLC/DCS Communications ControlNet Card Navigate to "Communications | PLC Interface | ControlNet" Set new node address. Must cycle power to make address active. Ethernet/IP Card Navigate to "Communications | PLC Interface | EtherNet/IP" Configure the desired Network setup. Power cycle not required. Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 13
IND780 Terminal - PLC/DCS Comms, Data Format Navigate to "Communications | PLC Interface | Data Format" These can be used if NO PLC or DCS system is controlling the Q.i (Q.i is driven by a Task Expert application for example). This is the DEFAULT setting, and is what most Q.i applications should use. Press Space Bar When Ready to Continue 14
All done! Congratulations! Configuration Complete! 15
