1. INTRODUCTION
The multifunctional measuring instruments ALMEMO
®
2290-2/3
Version 5
are instruments from the unique product range of measuring devices that are
all equipped with the ALMEMO
®
connector system, which has been patented
by Ahlborn GmbH. The intelligent ALMEMO
®
connector provides important
advantages with regard to the connection of sensors and peripherals as all
parameters are stored in an EEPROM within the connector. As a result, the
programming that usually is necessary for the connection is not required.
All sensors and output modules can be connected to all ALMEMO
®
measuring
devices in the same way. The operation and programming is identical with all
units. Therefore, all of the ALMEMO
®
measuring system items listed below are
described, in detail, in a separate ALMEMO
®
manual that is supplied with every
device:
Detailed description of the ALMEMO
®
system (manual section 1)
Overview of the device functions and measuring ranges (manual section 2)
All sensors with basic principles, operation, technical data (man. section 3)
The options for connecting existing sensors (manual section 4)
All analogue and digital output modules (manual section 5.1)
The interface module RS232, fiber optics, Centronics (manual section 5.2)
The entire ALMEMO
®
networking system (manual section 5.3)
All functions and their control via the interface (manual section 6)
A complete interface command list with all print outputs (manual section 7)
These operating instructions only cover features and controls that are specific
for a certain device. As a result, the sections dealing with the system control
via keyboard will only often provide a note referring to a more detailed
description within the manual (manual section x.x.x).
1.1 Function Range
The multifunctional measuring instrument ALMEMO
®
2290-2 has one
measuring input with 4 channels for more than 65 measuring ranges, the
ALMEMO
®
2290-3 has two electrically isolated measuring inputs with up to 8
measuring and two differential channels. Two output sockets allow for
connecting any ALMEMO
®
output modules, for example, the analogue output,
digital interface, trigger input or alarm contacts. Several devices can be
networked by a simple connection between the devices. For easy operation it
is equipped with a keyboard and an 8½-digit LCD display.
The instruments provide many functions for an optimal evaluation of all
sensors, for a flexible process control and for a universal data output. To avoid
a complicated handling, which could be caused by functions that are not
required, these functions can be activated automatically or manually when
required. A few special functions can only be accessed via interface.
