1.2 Software Specification and Calculation:

The SPUD Model 604 Density Processor is designed to provide an analog output 4-
20 mA of density as measured by a vibrating densimeter’s frequency with
temperature and pressure compensation.

All information of the SPUD Model 604 may be accessed via the serial
communication port using the communication software supplied. (Refer to sections 3
& 4 for more details). The system calculation shown below is for the DENSITRAK
Model D625. The temperature algorithm for Models SVT and RST is proprietary and
includes additional temperature coefficients.

1.2.0 Uncompensated Density Calculation (gr/cm3)

Du = K0n + K1*T + K2*T2
Where: K0n = K0 + [(Dpt*DCF)-Dpt]
Du = Uncorrected Density
(gr/cm3)
T = Period of the densimeter
(microsec)
K0,K1,K2= Factory calibration coefficients

1.2.1 Temperature Compensated Density Calculation (gr/cm3)

Dt = Du + (KTv * Du + KT0)*(tm-tc) + KT1*(tm-tc)2
Where: KTv, KT0, KT1 = factory temperature calibration coefficients
tm = live temperature in degree F input
tc = calibration temperature in deg. F, fixed
1.2.2 Pressure & Temperature Compensated Calculation (gr/cm3)
Dpt = Dt + (KPv * Dt + KP0)*P + KP1*P2
Where: P = Live Pressure(psig) - Calibration Pressure(psig)
KPv, KP0, KP1 = Factory pressure calibration coefficients
1.2.3 Display conversion for P&T Compensated Density, Kg/m3
Dpt * 1000
1.2.4 Display Conversion for P&T Compensated Density, Lb/ft3

2.2 Digital alarm output connection: The open collector alarm output is capable of driving
an external 5 volt DC relay with a current sinking up to 500 mA maximum. With the
exception of the "NO SIGNAL" alarm, other alarms for density, temperature,
pressure and densimeter frequency may be scaled to the desired ranges via the RS-
232 communication port. The open collector output is turned on when the input(s) is
within range. Figure 8 shows a typical alarm output connection.

DIGITAL ALARM OUTPUT CONNECTION

2.3 Setup: All specific calibration coefficients and input/out parameters have been
programmed at the factory prior to shipment. However, the user should first perform
a bench test to verify the setup parameter and familiarize with the setup
communication.

Note: In cases where pressure transmitters are not available, fixed values for
pressure may be programmed into the 604SPUD via communication port for
pressure compensation of densimeter.

3.0 Communicating with SPUD 604: Install the computer diskette containing communication
software "CAL.EXE" into the PC terminal and type "CAL" at the DOS prompt and then
"ENTER." Follow the screen menu or refer to the function code listing located in this
manual. The communication protocol for the SPUD 604 is in binary and floating point (not
in ASCII).

Note: For customized monitoring applications, the Application Platform Builder software is
available. This software package is written in Quick Basic that provides the user with a
built-in communication protocol for the Model 604 and allows the user to modify and add
their own application programming (in Quick Basic code).

 SPUD Model 604 Operating instructions

3.1 Introduction: The program CAL.EXE a general communications, control and utility
program provided with each SPUD Model 604 and designed for inputting the specific
densimeter calibration coefficients. The hardware requirements are as follows:
a). MS-DOS compatible PC with at least one RS 232 serial port
(if printing is desired, one parallel port and a printer are required)
b). At least 512Kb of RAM
c). Communication cable and connectors (User-supplied or available from
Calibron)
d). Models 625, SVT or RST Densimeter and Model 604 Density Processor

The program is supplied are on a non-system diskette, which means that the PC must have
been started from a system diskette or hard disk before the program can be used. If a hard
disk is present, copy the program from the diskette to the C: drive. To start the program
from the C: prompt, switch to the directory (if any) into which the programs have been
copied and type CAL followed by Enter. The program should now start. A description of
the program functions follows:

Each piece of information held within the transmitter that is available through the
communication port has been assigned with an item number for quick and easy access.
The item numbers within the 604 processor's memory correspond to the various
parameters.

It's selections are as follows:

Page 8 of 37
 SPUD Model 604 Operating instructions

[1] - Communication
[2] - Program Setup
[3] - Exit to DOS

Type in the number of the selection and the program will immediately activate that function,
by displaying a sub-menu. The main functions are described on the following sheets.

3.3 Communication:

This is activated by typing "1" at the main menu and displays a sub-menu as below:-
[1] - Calibration Parameter Setup
[2] - Live Measurement Monitoring

Selection of a function is achieved simply by typing in the appropriate number. An ENTER

instead of a number choice will always return to the previous menu.

The functions are:-

[1] - Calibration Parameter Setup:

To look at a "snapshot" (instantaneous value) of a parameter and/or to change it.

Because this portion of the program can change the settings in the 604, and allow the 604
to display incorrect data, a Password is required to proceed into this portion of the program.

THE PASSWORD TO ENTER THIS PORTION OF THE PROGRAM IS: Densitrak

Once the password is entered correctly you will not need to enter it again unless you exit
the program.

If the password is entered, a screen of current settings with the prompt "....which item?"
will appear. This asks the user to type in the item number corresponding to the parameter
he wishes to view. So if, for example, the K0 coefficient were needed (item 46), then type
46 followed by Enter. The program interrogates the transmitter and, provided the PC and
transmitter are in communication, the current value for that item will be displayed on the
screen [If communication is not taking place, a "Polling" message will show at the bottom
right of the screen. If this occurs, you may press the space bar at any time to abort.

With the data value/units, the screen will ask "Change this (Y or N)?". If the item is to be
changed, enter "Y" and, at the prompt "Enter new value" (8 significant digit), enter the
required new value and press Enter. The program will transmit the new value to the
transmitter and read it back to the display.

If there are no more items to be monitored or if the displayed parameter is "Read only"
(such as Compensated Density (item 54), which is a measurement) or if the item is not to
be changed, enter "N" at the prompt and the program will return to the menu.

Page 9 of 37
 SPUD Model 604 Operating instructions

Note: When several meters are wired in a typical Multi-Drop configuration, at any
"which item" prompt the entry of "#n" (where n = address number of a meter) will cause the
program to attempt to communicate with meter. For example, #4 would select the meter
with a communication address of 4

[2] - Live measurement monitoring:

To be able to continuously monitor one or more items (up to 8 items) in real time and to see
how they are changing.

A screen of Item Numbers and their Descriptions will show on the screen with the prompt
"....which item?" appears. Enter the first item number and a Return. The prompt
reappears, so enter the second item number, and so on up to a max of eight items. Once
you have entered all the items you wish to monitor, press ENTER at the prompt.

The program will ask whether you wish to store the records that you will be monitoring -
"Do you want to store the data?" . Typing "N" or a Return will start the monitoring
process. Typing "Y" will produce "Store records on printer?". At this point you may say
"Y" to have a printed record of all the monitored data. (NOTE: You must have a printer
connected and ready) If you enter "N" then "Store records on disk file ?" appears.
Typing "Y" will bring up a sub-menu as follows:-

[1] - Text
[2] - Data
[3] - Both

If text files are selected, the prompt "Disk file name ( .DAT)?" appears. The
program automatically adds the ".DAT" extension to the name you enter so all you need to
ensure is that your chosen name is no more than 8 characters long and follows normal
DOS rules on filenames. The structure of the data file is as follows.

Each record is stored as 1 line of several data items delimited by comma's. There will be
one record per data item monitored at the end of each monitoring period. This means that if
the user is monitoring 4 items of data, with each log time the program will add 4 records to
the bottom of the file. the format for each record is:

RecNo, Ctr, Item, Avg, Desc, LVal, HVal, Std Dev, Std Fac, Time, Date

' RecNo = The record number. A new record number is issued each log time
' Ctr = The position within a given log. In our example monitoring 4 items Ctr would run
from
1 to 4
' Item = 604 parameter item number. For example if monitoring Frequency, Item = 17
' Avg = Average value of the data during the current time period

Page 10 of 37
 SPUD Model 604 Operating instructions

' Desc = A breif description text if available

' LVal = Lowest value of the data during the current time period
' HVal = Highest value of the data during the current time period
' Std Dev = Standard deviation of the data during the current time period
' Std Fac = How many readings were involved in the current standard deviation
' Time = Log Time in format "HH:MM:SS". Please note that HH represents a 24 hour
clock.
' Date = Log Date in format "MM/DD/YYYY"

NOTE: This type of file holds raw data. Trying to print this data directly will yield a very poor
picture of what occured. This data should be loaded into another program like Lotus®, or
Quattro® or Excell® so that it can be formatted in a manner that it makes sense to the
reader.

For Text files the prompt is "Disk file name ( .MON)?" . The same rules apply.
This type of file stores all the information exactly as it would have been printed if a printer
was available. This type of file holds all data in a usable format and can be dumped directly
to a printer to provide a formatted easy to read picture of what occured.

The next prompt is "Number of seconds between records?" . The entry must be an
integer number >=1 and is typically in the range 10(10 sec) to 3600(1 hour). The program
will now monitor the selected items continuously on the screen, giving the average, highest
and lowest values for each item. Each time that the chosen number of seconds occurs, the
standard deviation, lowest and highest values are logged. The highest/lowest are then
reset for the next recording period. To reset the statistics "on demand", press the "R" key
.The system "beeps" to acknowledge it has received the command. At any time, the value
of any item (monitored or not) can be viewed and/or changed pressing the "C" key, this
portion of the program will require the password to be entered as explained in section 2.1.1.
If the password has not yet been entered then the user will be prompted to enter it now. To
stop monitoring at any time, you may press the "Q" key. The program will complete the
current cycle, store a final data record, then return to the menu

3.4 - Program Setup

This is activated by typing "2" at the main menu and displays a sub-menu as below:-

[1] - Project / Time / Address Set

[2] - Select Port / Baud
[3] - Set Data Drive

Selection of a function is achieved by typing in the appropriate number. An ENTER instead

of a number choice will return to the previous menu. The functions are:-

Page 11 of 37
 SPUD Model 604 Operating instructions

[1] - Project / Time / Address Set

To set the date & time in the PC and to allocate a project name which will appear on
monitor displays and printouts. This is self-explanatory in use. The project name can be
any combination of characters and spaces (up to a limit of 35). This also allows the user to
select the address of the desired 604 when several units are wired in a Multi-Drop
configuration.

[2] - Select Port / Baud

To select the PC communication port and baud rate used by the program.

[3] - Set Data Drive

To specify a desired drive and/or directory where all data files created will be stored, and
where all data files accessed must be located. Any path name must end with a "\". For
example, to specify that all data is stored in drive "C:" in an existing directory called "SPUD"
and in an existing sub-directory called "files", the path is specified "c:\SPUD\files\".

3.5 - Exit to DOS

Selecting this function will cause execution of the program to stop and will display "Exit to
DOS (Y or N)". "Y" will return you to the DOS environment. "N" will return you to the main
menu of the SPUD 604.

3.6 - Calibration procedure for the SPUD density measurement system:

3.6.1 Density calibration: After completing the setup of wiring interconnection

between the Model 604 and Models DT625, SVT or RST densimeters, flow clean
DI water through the densimeter and assure that there is no air in the system.
Follow the calibration procedure as follows:

a. Obtain the test temperature and actual density of water (in gr/cc) @ measured
temperature using an NIST table for water or Wagenbreth equation.

b. Record the indicated density from the SPUD model 604 display (gr/cc)
immediately after the water temperature was recorded per step 1 above.

c. Compute the new K0 offset per the followings:

Example:
Run No. 1 Run No. 2
(1) Indicated Density Di (gr/cc) @ 60oF 0.9999 1.0010

(from Model 604 display)

Page 12 of 37
 SPUD Model 604 Operating instructions

(2) Actual Density Da (gr/cc) @ 60oF = 0.9990 0.9990

(from NIST table of Wagenbreth)

(3) Take the deviation [ Da - Di ] = -0.0009 -0.0020

(4) Take an average deviation of (3) = ((-0.0009)+(-.0020))/2 = -0.0015

(5) Calculate new K0 = existing K0 + (4); for K0 = -1.34923, we have:

New K0 = (-1.34923) + (- 0.0015) = -1.35073

3.6.2 Program the new K0 and 4-20 mA analog outputs by the front key board:

a. Push the "FUNC" key to display the K0 and its value on the SPUD Model 604
screen. The order of display items is as follow:

Resonant Frequency (Hz)

Density (gr/cc)
Temperature (oF)
Pressure (psig)
K0 (gr/cc)

When the screen display "K0," push the "UNIT" key will rotate the
screen to show 4 mA zero scale analog output and 20 mA full
scale analog output then return to K0 until the "FUNC" key is
pushed.

The only values can be changed by the up and down keys on the front panel are:
K0, 4mA analog output and 20 mA analog output. However, the up and down
arrow keys will be disabled and return to normal operation for security protection
when the "FUNC" key is pushed. Follow the next steps to enable or remove the
protection when changing the K0, 4mA and 20 mA values.

b. Push and hold the "FUNC" and "UNIT" pushbutton switches silmutaneously for 4
seconds minimum a to 9 seconds maximum then release. The display will remain
to show "K0" on screen. If these keys were held less than 4 seconds or greater
then 10 seconds, the display will not display the K0 but one of the others items.

CAUTION: Do not hold these keys for more then 10 seconds since this will reset
all the programmed coefficients. The correct coefficients for the desired
densimeter would have to be programmed through communication via an IBM
terminal.

Page 13 of 37
 SPUD Model 604 Operating instructions

c. Use the up arrow key to increase the K0 value and the down arrow key to
decrease the K0 value.

d. After changing the K0 value, push the "FUNC" to activate the security protection
and return the SPUD 604 to the normal operation. Observe and confirm that the
display shows the correct density reading.

e. Repeat steps "a, b, c and d" to change the 4mA analog zero scale output and
20mA analog full scale output.

3.6.3 Program the new value for K0, 4mA and 20mA outputs through
communication:

a. Connect an IBM terminal to the SPUD Model 604 with the supplied RS-232
cable. Execute the supplied communication program CAL.EXE. Follow the
screen menu to retrieve and change the following items:

FC (function code) 46 for K0 value

FC 59 for 4 mA zero scale output
FC 60 for 20 mA full scale output

Use FC 54 or 52 to verify the corrected density, after changing the new K0 value.

NOTE: the password for getting into the programming setup is "Densitrak"

3.7 Function Code listing:

In addition to the above, the CAL.EXE is designed to perform the following tasks with
Model 604:

1. Program the densitometer calibration coefficients

2. Change the existing densimeter's calibration constants when using the SPUD 604
with a different densimeter.
3. Monitor live frequency (or period) from the densimeter and other measurement data
such as: temperature, pressure, density, analog output etc. (up to 8 parameters on
one screen).
4. To program or change the input/output parameters such as the analog outputs for
density, temperature and pressure transmitter inputs, output alarms etc.

Communication format: The Calibron's microprocessor standard serial protocol is an ASCII

coded poll/response procedure. The standard setup is as follow:
- 1200 bps
- Full duplex mode
- 7 data bits
- Even parity
- One stop bit

THE FOLLOWING SECTION PROVIDES INSTRUCTIONS FOR AN OPTIONAL SOFTWARE PACKAGE

WHICH ALLOWS USERS TO CUSTOMIZE FOR SPECIFIC DATA LOGGING APPLICATIONS. THIS
SOFTWARE PACKAGE HAS BUILT-IN COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL FOR THE SPUD 604 AND A
MS-DOS PC TERMINAL. THE USER NEEDS ONLY TO ADD CODE IN QUICK BASIC FOR THEIR
SPECIFIC APPLICATION.

Page 16 of 37
 SPUD Model 604 Operating instructions

4.0 Application Platform Builder Program (USERSPUD)- OPTIONAL: The USERSPUD

program was written to give the end user a platform to develop his own custom software
that can read and write to the Model 604 with a minimum of effort. This text is a basic
instructional guide for the use of USERSPUD. A programmer with some knowledge of
basic will be able to generate simple applications very quickly with this tool. The user
should begin his portion of the program at line 10000. all lines below 10000 are reserved
for current and future Calibron use. A sample user program is included in the USERSPUD
as shipped. It illustrates the use of the routines and is an example of a very simple user
application.

USERSPUD is tested and fully compatible with BASICA, GWBASIC, QBASIC, or any
version of Microsoft's QuickBasic Compiler

The program is made up of many individual modules. The first line of each is a brief
description of that module's function. Scanning through the code the user may notice
additional modules that can make his programming task easier. For the average user only
two of these modules will be used. For this reason only those two will be described here.

Module at Line 5650 "Read Data from SPUD604"

Use: For Bit, Byte, Two Byte, or Floating Point Items

Set the variable IX to the desired item number in decimal
Example: IX = 17
Make Call to Read Data Module at line 5650
Example GOSUB 5650
The Variable R now holds the data received from the 604MEGA. The user can now store
the data under any variable name.
Example FREQ = R

Use: For ASCII Characters, or Text Items

Set the variable IX to the desired item number in decimal
Example: IX = 6
Set the variable TEXTFLAG to 1
Example: TEXTFLAG = 1
Make Call to Read Data Module at line 5650
Example GOSUB 5650
The Variable R$ now holds data received from the 604MEGA. The user can now store the
data under any variable name.
Example SN$ = R$
The user must turn TEXTFLAG back off when complete
Example: TEXTFLAG = 0

Module at Line 5620 "Write Data to SPUD604"

Use: For Bit, Byte, Two Byte, or Floating Point Items

 SPUD Model 604 Operating instructions

Example: IX = 26
Set the variable R to the outgoing data
Example: R = 100
Make call to Write to 604SPUD module at 5620
Example: GOSUB 5620
The Data has now been sent

Use: For ASCII Characters, or Text Items

Set the variable IX to the desired item number in decimal
Example: IX = 6
Set the variable TEXTFLAG to 1
Example: TEXTFLAG = 1
Set the variable TEXT$ to the outgoing data
Example: TEXT$ = "SN 1219931"
Make call to Write to the 604SPUD module at 5620
Example: GOSUB 5620
The Data has now been sent. The user must turn TEXTFLAG back off when complete.
Example: TEXTFLAG = 0

Note: The data write module will place a * on the screen when writing. It is recommended
that the user position the cursor where he wants the * to appear before jumping to the
write subroutine.

Other variables that may be of interest to the user. All the variable default values are set in
line 5.

MO: If MO = 0 The program will announce (on the screen) the results of the read
operation while performing it.
If MO = 1 The program will quietly read the data and will not effect the screen in
any way.

ADI: ADI is the 604SPUD address number. The default value for the program is 0
which causes any meter that hears the poll to respond. If the user is talking to
Multiple 604SPUD's , this variable can be used to select the desired 604SPUD.

PORT$: Port$ holds the name of the communication port being used. the default value is
"COM1". The value "COM2" is also available if the users computer has a second
serial port.

IMPORTANT NOTE: COM3 and COM4 are NOT supported!

BAUD$: Baud$ holds the baud rate for communication with the 604SPUD. The
default value is "1200". The user should note that if the baud rate on the
