DP820 Configuration Manual

DP820 Incremental Pulse Counter Module

Configuration Manual

Description
DP820 module consists of 2 identical and independent channels for pulse and frequency
measurement.

2 channels

Interface with RS422 , 5V , 12V , 24V and 13mA transducer signal

Simultaneous pulse and frequency measurement
29 bit bidirectional counter for pulse count by accumulation
Frequency measurement of 0.25 Hz to 1.5 MHz

Pulse Based Totalizer for Flow Transmitter

The settings of the DP820 are as shown below:

Pulse mode selection use A:UP/B:Down

The Flow transmitter pulse output is totalized in the Pulse counter
Hence the following settings were made in the flow transmitter o 1 pulse per 0.01 kg
(Based on the Accuracy) o 15 ms pulse width (Based on max pulses per second
/Frequency output of Flow transmitter)

The parameter connections are as follows:2

DP820 Configuration Manual

The counter value in channel 5 and 6 shall be the totalized flow from the pulse input.
The variable connected in the channel 5 times the unit per pulse shall be totalizer output.

For Eg:- FT_83901_P * 0.01 = FIQ_83901

The frequency value input shall be obtained in Channel 17 and 18

DP820 Configuration Manual

The range for frequency channel can be obtained from the following formula :-

Frequency can only be scaled and hence following formula shall give us the scaled input
to which frequency can be estimated.
o Min = A1 + (A2 A1)/(F2 F1) * (Fmin F1)
Max = A2 + (A2 A1)/(F2 F1) * (Fmax F2) o
A1 = minimum value of the process unit
A2 = maximum value of the process unit
F1 = Input frequency at A1
F2 = Input frequency at A2
Fmin = Input frequency at 0% in the scaling algorithm = 0 Hz PROFIBUS
CI830 and -1.5 MHz for ModuleBus and PROFIBUS CI801 and CI840
Fmax = Input frequency at 100% in the scaling algorithm = 1.5Mhz
The Flow transmitter must be configured for the frequency input and frequency for
Kg/min. flow should be fixed.
The frequency value from the channel must be then used to totalize the flow in the logic.
For Eg.: For a flow of 1kg/min if the frequency of 10 Hz is configured in the Flow
transmitter, then The range of the frequency channel be -150000.0 to 150000.0 The
Process connections are as follows for 8 channel TB used with TU810 :-

DP820 Configuration Manual

Connect the two cables from the frequency output / pulse output of the Flow transmitter
to the 1st TB for channel 1 and 5th TB to use channel 2 of DP820 module.

Channel 1 of DP820 totalized value is obtained in the Counter value CH1 (Hardware
channel 5 in Connections [FT_83901_P])

Channel 2 of DP820 totalized value is obtained in the Counter value CH2 (Hardware
channel 6 in Connections [FT_83902_P])

Logical Expressions
The Counter value CH1 can be reset using the following set of instructions:

Reset pulse Counter Condition [ Channel 31 ] = 1

Reset pulse Counter [Channel 29 ] = True

DP820 Configuration Manual

The counter Value CH1 [Channel 5] will become 0

Pulse Counter reseted [channel 13] shall become true
Ack. pulse counter reseted = 1

Then the pulse counter reseted shall automatically become false

Reset pulse Counter Condition = 0
Reset pulse Counter = False
Counter Overflow [Channel 7] shall be true when the counter is overflow.

To reset the overflow the value of reset counter overflow [Channel 21] must be made
true.
