6.0 Manual:
Summary:
In the Manual Mode the FilterTec Plus pump can be manually operated. The pump
speed can be set by pressing the “Rate” key. The pump will also display the pressure indicated
on SciPres sensor P1.
NOTE:
The
CONSTANT RATE
and
CONSTANT PRESSURE
parameters, including the
alarms, cannot be accessed in the
Manual Mode.
When in
CONSTANT RATE
or
CONSTANT PRESSURE
operational modes, the pump speed
and/or pressure can be adjusted in terms of % motor speed while the pump is running. Just
press the “RATE” key, make the appropriate adjustment, and press “SELECT”.
7.0 Data Acquisition:
Summary:
Parker has available a software package called SciDoc that includes data collection
software and a Custom Excel spreadsheet that is automatically populated when any of the
modes are executed except Manual. It also has charts that are automatically populated as the
data is generated. See Section 7.1 below.
Either the Printer Port or USB Port may be used for data collection. The instructions for
installing the USB driver appear at the beginning of this manual. The FilterTec Plus Printer Port
is required for use with a serial printer, and both Thermal and Dot Matrix are available. By using
both ports, the data can be simultaneously captured on a PC and a Printer.
When a PC is connected, all data generated in RATE, PRESSURE, and STEP-SCAN modes
can be sent to the PC for archiving. Please use the Parker SciDoc Data Collection Software
described below. Alternatively, a PC running “HyperTerminal”, a program that comes with
Windows, may be used to capture the data. The HyperTerminal settings are provided for you in
section 7.2 entitled “PC HyperTerminal Settings.” When interfacing with a PC you will need a
separate RS-232 cable (P/N: 080-073) or USB cable (P/N: 090-158)..
NOTE:
For a successful hook-up with your PC, the FilterTec Plus and the PC must use the
same communications protocol. Make sure that the communication parameters in Setup: Printer
are the same as those listed in for HyperTerminal below or the default values.
The FilterTec Plus is also equipped with a USB port that can be connected to your PC. You will
find the driver for this connection on the CD this manual came on. You will need to look in
Device Manager on your PC to determine the Com Port number assigned to the FilterTec Plus.
The FilterTec Plus is also equipped with an Ethernet Port. Settings for the Ethernet connection
are described in section 5.4. This is for communication via Modbus TCP/IP, and when the
register list is available, it will be added to the manual as an appendix.
