13. AUTODOS 5000 PC Interface (optional)
With an easily installed optional PCB (Printed Circuit Board) it is possible to connect the AUTODOS 5000 to a PC
computer. The AUTODOS 5000 PC Interface parts are:
•
Data logger with real time clock
•
Communications module
The PCB connects to the AUTODOS 5000 board through a connector and plastic clips. The PCB is externally
connected to either a communications module via 2-wire connection or via RJ45 connector direct to the serial port of
a PC computer or a modem. The modem communication is not supported in program version 1.0 but is planned for
later versions.
Data logger
•
32kB EEPROM
•
Real time clock
•
24kB (3 days) with minute interval average values for 4 channels
•
8kB events (255), an event can be an alarm or calibration for instance
Communications module
•
RS232 PC communication, cables are supplied
•
Two-wire communication with AUTODOS 5000
•
With recommended cable FKAR-PG 0.5mm
²
, up to 200m and 5 units may be connected to the two-wire circuit
•
External 9VAC transformer is supplied
Identification of separate AUTODOS 5000 on the two-wire circuit is made by using a unique factory programmed
serial number for every single AUTODOS 5000.
Communications program ’Autodos Monitor’ is used for monitoring AUTODOS 5000 and changing its parameters,
the program is described in a separate document.
