GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CUB5T provides the ultimate in timer flexibility, from its complete user programming to the optional relay output and serial communications capability.

The meter functions as an Elapsed Timer or Preset Timer. It also has a built-in

Cycle Counter. The display can be toggled either manually or automatically between the Timer and Cycle Counter values. With eight different input operating modes and 18 selectable timer ranges, the meter can be programmed for a wide variety of timing applications.

The CUB5T has an LCD display with 0.46" (11.7 mm) high digits. The LCD is available in two versions, reflective (CUB5TR00) and backlight (CUB5TB00).

The backlight version is user selectable for red or green backlighting with variable display intensity.

The Timer has two signal inputs and eight input operating modes. These modes provide level active or edge triggered start/stop operation. A Display

Hold mode will display the elapsed time for one cycle, while the next cycle continues timing internally. The Timer Reset modes will automatically reset the timer value when a time start edge is applied to the input. This allows sequential timing cycles without having to manually reset the Timer.

In addition to the Timer inputs, a programmable User Input is available to perform a variety of meter functions. All inputs are current sinking (active low) and accept a variety of logic and open-collector output signal sources. Relay and switch contacts can also be used as signal sources, when the software input debounce filter is enabled.

The capability of the CUB5T can be easily expanded with the addition of a field installable option module. When the CUB5RLY0 relay output module is added, the meter becomes a Preset Timer. The Setpoint Output can be assigned to the Timer or Cycle Counter values, and configured to suit a variety of control and alarm requirements. Serial communications capability for RS232 or RS485 is added with a serial option module (CUB5COM).

The CUB5T can be powered from an optional Red Lion Micro-Line/Sensor

Power Supply (MLPS), which attaches directly to the back of a CUB5T. The

MLPS is powered from an 85 to 250 VAC source and provides up to 400 mA to drive the meter and sensors.

INSTALLATION

The meter meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements when properly installed. The unit is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel. Prepare the panel cutout to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch from the unit. Slide the panel gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel. The unit should be installed fully assembled. Insert the unit into the panel cutout.

While holding the unit in place, push the panel latch over the rear of the unit so that the tabs of the panel latch engage in the slots on the case. The panel latch should be engaged in the farthest forward slot possible. To achieve a proper seal, tighten the latch screws evenly until the unit is snug in the panel (Torque to approx. 28 to 36 in-oz [0.202 to 0.26 N-m]). Do not over-tighten the screws.

INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT

The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the operating temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.

The bezel should only be cleaned with a soft cloth and neutral soap product.

Do NOT use solvents. Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate the aging process of the bezel.

Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate the keypad of the unit.

WIRING OVERVIEW

Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.

Strip the wire, leaving approximately 0.3" (7.5 mm) bare lead exposed

(stranded wires should be tinned with solder.) Insert the lead under the correct screw-clamp terminal and tighten until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify tightness.) Each terminal can accept up to one #14 AWG (2.55 mm) wire, two

#18 AWG (1.02 mm), or four #20 AWG (0.61 mm).

EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Although Red Lion Controls Products are designed with a high degree of immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods must be followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical noise, source or coupling method into a unit may be different for various installations. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very important and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome installation. Listed are some EMI guidelines for a successful installation in an industrial environment.

1. A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly connected to protective earth.

2. Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield connection should be made as short as possible. The connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application. Listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in order of their effectiveness.

a. Connect the shield to earth ground (protective earth) at one end where the unit is mounted.

b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when the noise source frequency is over 1 MHz.

3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC power lines, conductors, feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and heaters, etc. The cables should be run through metal conduit that is properly grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation is near a commercial radio transmitter. Also, Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far away as possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.

4. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.

5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables is effective. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are recommended:

Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (RLC part number FCOR0000)

Line Filters for input power cables:

Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (Red Lion Controls # LFIL0000)

6. To protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to minimize radiated and conducted noise (EMI), some type of contact protection network is normally installed across the load, the contacts or both. The most effective location is across the load.

a. Using a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (RC) network or metal oxide varistor (MOV) across an AC inductive load is very effective at reducing

EMI and increasing relay contact life.

b. If a DC inductive load (such as a DC relay coil) is controlled by a transistor switch, care must be taken not to exceed the breakdown voltage of the transistor when the load is switched. One of the most effective ways is to place a diode across the inductive load. Most RLC products with solid state outputs have internal zener diode protection. However external diode protection at the load is always a good design practice to limit EMI.

Although the use of a snubber or varistor could be used.

RLC part numbers: Snubber: SNUB0000

Varistor: ILS11500 or ILS23000

7. Care should be taken when connecting input and output devices to the instrument. When a separate input and output common is provided, they should not be mixed. Therefore a sensor common should NOT be connected to an output common. This would cause EMI on the sensitive input common, which could affect the instrument’s operation.

EMI guidelines, Safety and CE issues as they relate to Red Lion Controls products.

CAUTION: Power input common is NOT isolated from user input common. In order to preserve the safety of the meter application, the power input common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective earth ground potential. If not, hazardous voltage may be present at the User Inputs and User Input Common terminals. Appropriate considerations must then be given to the potential of the user input common with respect to earth ground; and the common of the plug-in cards with respect to input common.

Sending Serial Commands and Data

When sending commands to the meter, a string containing at least one command character must be constructed. A command string consists of a command character, a value identifier, numerical data (if writing data to the meter) followed by a command terminator character, * or $.

Initiates a block print output. Registers in the print block are selected in Print Options.

Command String Construction

The command string must be constructed in a specific sequence. The meter does not respond with an error message to illegal commands. The following procedure details construction of a command string:

1. The first 2 or 3 characters consist of the Node Address Specifier (N) followed by a 1 or 2 character node address number. The node address number of the meter is programmable. If the node address is 0, this command and the node address itself may be omitted. This is the only command that may be used in conjunction with other commands.

2. After the optional address specifier, the next character is the command character.

3. The next character is the register ID. This identifies the register that the command affects. The P command does not require a register ID character. It prints all the active selections chosen in the Print Options menu parameter.

4. If constructing a value change command (writing data), the numeric data is sent next.

5. All command strings must be terminated with the string termination characters * or $. The meter does not begin processing the command string until this character is received. See timing diagram figure for differences in meter response time when using the * and $ terminating characters.

3. Node address = 0, Reset Setpoint output

String: RF*

4. Node address = 31, Request a Block Print Output, response time of 2 msec min

String: N31P$

Transmitting Data to the Meter

Numeric data sent to the meter must be limited to Transmit Details listed in the

Register Identification Chart. Leading zeros are ignored. The meter ignores any decimal point and conforms the number to the appropriate display format. (For example: The Timer range is set for tenths of a second and 25 is written to the

Timer Start register. The value of the register is now 2.5 seconds. In this case, write a value of 250 to equal 25.0 seconds).

Note: Since the meter does not issue a reply to value change commands, follow with a transmit value command for readback verification.

Receiving Data From The Meter

Data is transmitted from the meter in response to either a transmit command

(T), a block print request command (P) or a User Input print request. The response from the meter is either a full field transmission or an abbreviated transmission, depending on the selection chosen in Module 5.

The first two characters transmitted are the meter address. If the address assigned is 0, two spaces are substituted. A space follows the meter address field.

The next three characters are the register mnemonic, as shown in the Register

Identification Chart.

The numeric data is transmitted next. The numeric field (bytes 7 to 18) is 12 characters long. When a display overflow exists for a requested timer or cycle counter value, an * (used as an overflow character) replaces a space in byte 7.

Byte 8 is always a space.

The remaining ten positions of this field consist of seven positions for the requested value with decimal points positioned for the selected timer range. The

12 data within bytes 9 to 18 is right-aligned with leading spaces for any unfilled positions.

The end of the response string is terminated with a <CR> and <LF>. After the last line of a block print, an extra <SP>, <CR> and <LF> are added to provide separation between the print blocks.

Command Response Time

The meter can only receive data or transmit data at any one time (half-duplex operation). During RS232 transmissions, the meter ignores commands while transmitting data, but instead uses RXD as a busy signal. When sending commands and data to the meter, a delay must be imposed before sending another command. This allows enough time for the meter to process the command and prepare for the next command.

At the start of the time interval t

1

, the computer program prints or writes the string to the com port, thus initiating a transmission. During t

1

, the command characters are under transmission and at the end of this period, the command terminating character (* or $) is received by the meter. The time duration of t is dependent on the number of characters and baud rate of the channel.

1

t

1

= (10 times the # of characters) / baud rate

At the start of time interval t

2

, the meter starts the interpretation of the command and when complete, performs the command function. This time interval t

2

varies. If no response from the meter is expected, the meter is ready to accept another command.

If the meter is to reply with data, the time interval t

2

is controlled by the use of the command terminating character. The ‘*’ terminating character results in a response time of 50 msec. minimum. This allows sufficient time for the release of the sending driver on the RS485 bus. Terminating the command line with ‘$’ results in a response time (t

2

) of 2 msec. minimum. The faster response time of this terminating character requires that sending drivers release within 2 msec. after the terminating character is received.

At the beginning of time interval t character of the reply. As with t

Communication Format

Data is transferred from the meter through a serial communication channel.

In serial communications, the voltage is switched between a high and low level at a predetermined rate (baud rate) using ASCII encoding. The receiving device reads the voltage levels at the same intervals and then translates the switched levels back to a character. The voltage level conventions depend on the interface standard. The table lists the voltage levels for each standard.

LOGIC

0 space (active)

* Voltage levels at the Receiver

TXD,RXD; +3 to +15 V

RS485* a-b < -200 mV a-b > +200 mV

Data is transmitted one byte at a time with a variable idle period between characters (0 to

). Each ASCII character is “framed” with a beginning start bit, an optional parity bit and one or more ending stop bits. The data format and baud rate must match that of other equipment in order for communication to take place. The figures list the data formats employed by the meter.

Start Bit and Data Bits

Data transmission always begins with the start bit. The start bit signals the receiving device to prepare for reception of data. One bit period later, the least significant bit of the ASCII encoded character is transmitted, followed by the remaining data bits. The receiving device then reads each bit position as they are transmitted.

Parity Bit

After the data bits, the parity bit is sent. The transmitter sets the parity bit to a zero or a one, so that the total number of ones contained in the transmission

(including the parity bit) is either even or odd. This bit is used by the receiver to detect errors that may occur to an odd number of bits in the transmission.

However, a single parity bit cannot detect errors that may occur to an even number of bits. Given this limitation, the parity bit is often ignored by the receiving device. The CUB5T meter ignores the parity bit of incoming data and sets the parity bit to odd, even or none (mark parity) for outgoing data.

Stop Bit

The last character transmitted is the stop bit. The stop bit provides a single bit period pause to allow the receiver to prepare to re-synchronize to the start of a new transmission (start bit of next byte). The receiver then continuously looks for the occurrence of the start bit. If 7 data bits and no parity is selected, then 2 stop bits are sent from the meter.
