7 Configuration
The unit can be configured either directly on the unit, with the Configuration software
AD-Studio (for Windows operating systems) or via the web interface. The Adam-
czewski elektronische Messtechnik GmbH provides prefabricated
unit configurations, as XML files, are available.
The USB interface converter AD-VARIO-PASS is required for the PC/device connec-
tion with the Configuration software AD-Studio .
7.1 Analogue channel setup
Each of the eight analogue channels must be assigned the physical input signal (current
or voltage). See chapter 7.2.2 on page 17.
The signal is connected to the corresponding terminals.
See chapter 9 on page 35.
Each analogue input can be scaled in its own range to display and log scaled quantities.
The scaling does not yet contain a unit here. A scaling unit is set up directly on the
log channel (1...32).
Each analogue input signal can be linearised with a linearisation function or a global
linearisation table, by a function assignment
characteristic
. The linearisation table,
with 24 interpolation points, contains the physical input variable (mA/V) as the input
value and a numerical value as the output value.
See example in the web interface, chapter 10.10 on page 44.
The linearisation is done by interpolation between the interpolation points.
The linearisation of the different tank shapes, round tank (idealised) or spherical tank,
is done according to a calculation formula.
The signal normalisation is realised by a multiplication of linearisation and scaling.
7.2 Configuration menu
In the configuration menu, various configuration items can be selected on the
AD-VL 500 . If a configuration item requires a numerical index, the index selection
is activated and queried. The index setting is made by means of a rolling number,
which is set with the navigation keys. The numerical index is then shown in the menu
heading in square brackets.
Example:
Configuration item [1]
.
7.2.1 Device information
Under
device-information
, various information on the status
of the AD-VL 500 is displayed. Available memory sizes of the mounted data carriers
are displayed here. A clear representation can also be found on the HTML status page
(see chapter 10.7.1 on page 42).
