Description
Explanation
Name of measuring component
Actual measured value of measuring component
3 Unit
Physical unit of measured value
4 Failure
LED symbol
●
Significance:
Module not ready for operation
●
Possible causes:
Malfunction, defect
LED symbol
●
Significance:
Advance warning before internal technical
limits reached.
●
Possible causes:
Drift limit, operating hours, lamp intensity
LED symbol
●
Significance:
At least one internal function active that
impairs or hinders normal module measuring function.
●
Possible causes:
Adjustment procedure running, validation
measurement running
LED symbol
●
Significance:
Actual measured values are unreliable.
●
Possible causes:
Heating up phase, internal over/under
temperature, adjustment procedure programming not
plausible
5 Operating hours
Number of operating hours of the UV lamp fitted
Actual light intensity in the reference beam path for the asso-
ciated measured component (with the specific optical filter in
the beam path) relative to the new condition of the UV lamp;
evaluated automatically (
; UV lamp service life
7 Failure
UV lamp status (evaluation of intensity); “OK” = full intensity,
“Maintenance” = UV lamp replacement recommended;
“Uncertain” = correct measuring function questionable; “Fail-
ure” = measurement no longer possible. The module status
flags are activated accordingly (
Freely selectable text for module name
Internal CAN bus address of module (defined by hardware set-
ting in module)
10 Baud rate
Transfer speed (standard: 9600)
Number of data bits (standard: 8)
The GMS800 only uses the 7-bit range (ASCII code 0 … 127)
but can also communicate in 8-bit format.
Number of stop bits (1 or 2; standard: 2)
Additional identification for automatic monitoring of character
transfers; [Even], [Odd], [None]. – Standard: None
11 Actual
Internal operating module state:
●
[Heating] = heating up phase (measured values unreliable)
●
[Measuring] = measuring operation (normal operating
mode)
●
[Halt] = stopped electronically (not ready for operation)
12 Target
Default operating mode through entry or software function;
should become actual operating mode after a certain time
(can take up to 1 hour during the heating up time after start-
up).
13 Start value
Start value of physical measuring range
14 End value
End value of physical measuring range
15 Base value
Internal physical base value of measuring range
Internal measuring channel for measuring component
