SPECIFIC WARNINGS
To guarantee the IP protection during the installation, expect to seal the instrument
cables (with silicone or foam) after having tightened the cable-gland. Through the
installation expect suitable protections to avoid product overheating (eg. a shelter to avoid
direct sunlight); similarly for low temperatures. Do not open in case of bad weather
conditions (rain, snow, etc). Expect the recurring substitution of the hygroscopic salts.
Do not install in small locations and/or without ventilation, with high humidity, in
potentially dangerous areas or where is prescribed the use of explosion
-proof components.
Electrical connections on the product must be executed only from qualified and expert
personnel, in compliance with actual rules and regulations.
For external network powering, the plug at the end of the cord has ground contact; the
grounding of the powering is provided from the plug inserted in the socket. The product
powering source must be divided from dangerous voltage parts with double insulation and
must guarantee insulation of at least 3000 Vrms.
Be sure to have, in the plant, suitable protection from an electric short circuit (for example
high sensitivity differential circuit-breaker at the root of the AC/DC power supply unit).
Before any maintenance on the product, the powering must be disconnected.
Avoid any action that can short-circuit the rechargeable battery poles.
To enable the product protections, expect a connection to the ground plant through a proper
green-yellow grounding connector; this connector must be connected to the proper ground
clamp (or to any bolt if it is a metal cabinet).
Verify periodically rechargeable battery voltage; expect a substitution after roughly
5 years and if the voltage measured on the poles is too low (eg. 10.5V for a battery with
nominal voltage 12V) and investigate on the causes. Using the product differently from the
one expected from the manufacturer can compromise safety conditions. The use of parts
other than original spare parts could lead to irregular functioning or even dangerous
situations for a person and things.

Figure 2
The majority of connections are located In OM-240’s front panel:
• RS232: it can be used to connect a 3G Modem to expand connectivity
• Ethernet: This port is used to connect the device to an existing LAN. Internal Web Server
can be browsed to configure and download acquired data. It can be used for Internet connection (Cloud, FTP and EMAIL connections)
• USB Host: it allows the user to download measures, events and alarm logs to a pendrive,
or to update the firmware
• V OUT: this connector is designed to output the same voltage applied to V IN. It can be
turned off automatically when logger is in sleep mode or be kept always on.
• RS485#2 – V OUT: This is SmartMux port, which allows the connection of 16 SmartMux
in daisy chain and offers power supply.
• RS485#1 – V OUT: This is SmartModbus port, which allows digital sensors connections
and offers power supply.
• V IN: This port is to power the datalogger. It’s designed to work in 10-30V range.
• PWR-CONFIG: This port will allow the selection of Power supply. A jumper between two
rightmost connections is needed to let the datalogger be powered up.
• ANALOG INPUTS: This 8 terminal blocks is used to connect analog sensors. Starting from
bottom-left to bottom-right we find channels from 1 to 12, and from top-left to top-right we
find channels from 13 to 24.Every 6 connections, there is a Ground connector designed to be
the termination of shielded cables.
07
Rear Panel

OM-240’s rear panel has 2 Digital Inputs and 1 Digital Output.
• Digital Inputs IN1 IN2 can be configured to read rain meters and anemometers, or similar
pulse sensors (optoisolated, Min input voltage is 5V and Min current input is 2mA, while
Max input voltage is 24V and Max current is 10mA, Max frequency 1KHz, accuracy 0.1Hz).
• Digital Output is a relay output (for alarms), volt-free closure (low voltage, 30V 2A).
Cabling
Overview
This chapter will explain every connection to datalogger, how to optimize connections availability and to use proper connectors to avoid unexpected behavior (malfunctions).
Power Supply
OM-240 can be supplied with 10V to 30V. In order to grant correct functioning of
every connected sensor or device, and its internal circuitry, at least 2A PSU is needed.
If Analog Sensors, External Modems, RS485 SmartModbus Sensors are powered from
OM-240, a more powerful PSU should be used.
Warning: ALL V-OUT connections on the front panel - in the upper terminal block expose the same V-IN applied. If you apply 24V to V-IN, 24V will be exposed.
Since OM-240 can work in a wide range of voltage, use has to choose the right one
to power external devices connected.
08
Connecting PSU
The logger should be configured before powering it up.
New datalogger are shipped already configured (as it follows) to be powered from external
power source.
Rightmost pins of PWR CONFIG must be short-circuited to allow the datalogger to use
V-IN source.
Connect V-IN to the right Power Supply Unit.
Picture below shows connections.
Analog Channels Connection
OM-240 can handle sensors up to a total of wires of 48
Examples:
2 wires sensors: up to 24 channels
4 wires sensors: up to 12 channels
6 wires sensors: up to 8 channels
User can also mix sensors type and the datalogger will shift positions with this rule:
• 6 Wires sensors first
• 4 Wires sensors middle
• 2 Wires sensors last
With this simple rule, it will maximize connection simplicity
Here are few examples:

Digital Inputs Connection
OM-240 has 2 digital inputs (on rear panel) that can be configured, independently,
as “Trigger” or “Rainmeter/Anemometer”.
If they are configured as Trigger, a pulse on the channel will start an acquisition of all
configured channels.
If they are configured as Rainmeter/Anemometer, input frequency will be measured and
logged in measure log.
018
Readable signal specifications:
• Min 5V (2mA max)
• Max 24V (10mA max)
• Max Frequency 1KHz
• Accuracy: 0.1Hz
Inputs are optoisolated.
Example
In order to configure a trigger, connect it to DIGITAL INPUTS IN1 (or IN2, not showed here):
TRIGGER
Figure 18
Open OM-240’s web server, at “Channels Configuration -> Digital Inputs”
page. Select Trigger in the IN1 Input field:
Figure 19
Edge parameter (Up and Down) indicates if the trigger will raise voltage between poles or drop it,
or if it’s a “rectangular” wave, you can choose to use rising front or falling front.
Number of reading indicates how many acquisition cycles will be performed after a trigger event.
019
In order to use Triggers the OM-240 should not go in sleep mode. Check Energy
Management section to configure the datalogger to avoid switch off (by selecting Always ON).
For more information about how to configure Digital Inputs, refer to Digital Inputs section.
Digital Output Connection
OM-240 is provided with a Digital Output (NC / NO), which can drive low voltage
(max 30V, 2A). It’s a relay, so it is a volt-free switch.
In order to handle higher voltages or currents, use internal relay to drive a rugged heavy
duty relay.
RS485 SmartModbus Connection
OM-240 can read digital sensor over the RS485 SmartModbus port.
The port used for sensors connection is RS485#1.
WARNING: RS485#2 PORT DOES NOT WORK WITH DIGITAL SENSORS AS IT IS
DESIGNED TO WORK ONLY WITH MULTIPLEXERS.
RS485#1 port presents 5 connections:
• Data – : can be named as B or “inverting pin” or TxD-/RxD• Data + : can be named as A or “non inverting pin” or TxD+/RxD+
• GND: it is the reference pin. It is recommended to use GND (SC, C, or reference pin) while
connecting RS485 sensors.
• +V: OM-240 can power RS485 sensors. It provides the same power source applied to
OM-240 VIN. Be careful to choose the right supply to power both datalogger and sensor.
• GND: same as +V, is the negative connection of power supply.
RS485 allows daisy chain connections. The example below shows an OM-240 datalogger
with four temperature and humidity probes connected in daisy chain.
Figure 20
020
The minimum distance between two nodes (OM-240 to probe, or probe to probe) is 30 cm.
WARNING: BE CAREFUL ON CABLE DIMENSIONS, AS THEY ARE AFFECTED
FROM TOTAL LENGTH AND PROBE NUMBERS. BE SURE TO CHOOSE A CABLE OF
THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOUR PROJECT.
Example
Figure 21
Not all probes have a signal GND (SC) pin, and in the example above, the probe was not
connected to signal ground.
Multiplexers Connection
OM-240 offers Analog Sensors expandability through Multiplexers.
Multiplexers are expansion boards that can read up to 24 sensors each, with connections
logic similar to OM-240 (explained in Multiplexer Section), which will be connected to
chan-nel 22/23/24 of OM-240
More than one Multiplexer can be connected to OM-240, up to 16 Units, daisy chained
to RS485#2 and channels 22/23/24.
021

Enabling this tick, the configured alarm is no lon-
ger connected to the single input. The channels
that adopt this option will be “linked” to each
other by logical operations (AND, OR, NOT and
XOR). If this field is enabled, therefore it will be
necessary to configure a virtual channel with an
opportune logical operation.
NOTE: the values inserted in alarm thresholds have to take into account the
possible linear or polynomial conversion that has been configured. If the user
configured a conversion, the threshold values have to be inserted in engineering unit. If the user didn’t configured any conversion, the thresholds values
have to be inserted in electrical unit.

NOTE: once the configuration of all channels of multiplexer ended, it is advised
to push on LOCK. In this way, the configuration is “blocked” and the removal
of one or more sensors doesn’t modify the position of those that are configured yet.
ATTENTION: the addition of a new sensor to a multiplexer that has been already
configured could cause a change in sensors position on multiplexer channels.
In case of sensors that are physically already connected to the multiplexer, it is
necessary to check that their positions are the same. If the positions changed,
it is necessary to re-wire the sensors to the multiplexer.”

MODBUS SENSORS
What’s Modbus?
Modbus is a serial communication protocol, made by Modicon in 1979 to link their PLC. It has
become a de facto standard in communication protocol, and it’s now a commonly available
means of connecting industrial electronic devices.
Advantages in industrial sectors are:
• developed with industrial applications in mind
• openly published and royality-free
• easy to deploy and mantain
• moves raw bits or words without placing many restriction on vendors
Modbus enables communication among many devices connected to the same network, for
example a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to
a computer. Modbus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal
unit (RTU) in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Many of the data
types are named from its use in driving relays: a single-bit physical output is called a coil, a
single-bit physical input is called a discrete input or a contact.

Digital Sensors Con iguration
For digital sensors, the OM-240 family offers an in-depth configuration. After choosing
Baudrate and Maximum RS485 Address (Fig.1), the User can “Save Changes” and start the
con-figuration of the sensors.
Figure 38
Figure 39
By clicking “Edit” (Fig.2) on the sensor row to configure, the system shows typical sensor (IPI,
H-LEVEL, TILTMETER) and a SmartModbus element (Fig.3).
SmartModbus is selected if the User has a generic modbus sensor.
052
Figure 40
Click “Next” to proceed the configuration. Fig.4 shows MODBUS parameters. These are usually
provided by the sensor’s manufacturer and reported in either the datasheet or instruction manual.
Figure 41
Modbus Address is sensor’s modbus address, usually settable from the sensor.
Pre Measure Actions:
Some sensors require either a command or a condition to be true before actually pushing the data
in the right register.
Send Command enabled orders the OM-240 to push data (Value field) in a sensor’s
register (Reg Address (hex)). You can “Force Multiple Reg” o “Write Coil”.
053
Wait Condition enabled let the OM-240 check if Coil, Input or Holding are less, more, equal
or different from a chosen Value. It allows also to wait for a certain time.
Endianess allows to select if the sensor use a Little Endian or Big Endian data type.
Acquire Measures:
This section is the actual data reading from the modbus sensor. On most sensors, this is the
only section the User should care of.
Measure n enabled allows the OM-240 to read the register (Holding, Input or Coil) at the
speci-fied “Reg Address (hex)”. Data Type is Signed or Unsigned Integer, Float and Fixend
Point. Register Number&Order let the User choose which register and in which order data is
stored in. Usually is reported in sensor’s datasheet or instruction manual.
Endianess allows to select if the sensor use a Little Endian or Big Endian data type.
Post Measure Actions:
As Pre Measure Actions, this is not always required, but some sensors need a register to be
written in order to return in standby or reset. Settings are quite similar to Pre Measure Actions’ Send Command, which can be enabled or not, and actions are Force Multiple Reg,
Write Coil (Register Address is specified in Reg Address (hex) field) and Wait Time.
Endianess allows to select if the sensor use a Little Endian or Big Endian data type.
Output configuration and alarms 1 & 2
Figure 42
Figure 43
This are channel related settings. The user can specify channel name, a short description, and
data conversion.
054
Conversion:
Linear: if sensor output is linear, the systems needs to know Zero Point (Ez) and Sensibility(S)
and Number of Decimals (field will be enabled). The output will be equal to Sx - Ez
Polynomial: if sensor output is not linear this allows the user to specify sensor output curve,
and enable Zero Reading (Ez), Poly.Coeff. A, B, C and D and Number of Decimals. The output
will be equal to Ax3 + Bx2 + Cx + D - Ez
Engeneering Units: to complete data with the right engeneering unit like bar,°C, °F, %HR and
so on.
Number of Decimals: after linear or poly conversion, here are the number of decimal digits the
system will round the value at.
Skipped: the system will ignore this sensor
Virtual channel alarm
This section enables Logical Operations with Virtual Channels Alarm. Virtual Channels section allows logial operations between alarms, (AND, OR, XOR, NOT).
055
Tips
Multiple Sensor in one single Modbus Device
Our System allows the user to connect one single Modbus device providing information
coming from different sensors.
What if a sensor has more than 2 channels?
The OM-240 allows to create another sensor with the same Modbus address (Fig.9,10,11),
so user can select 4 (or more, creating other sensors) registers to read data from.
Pre Measure Actions (if required) will be set only in first sensor (relative to the Modbus
slave device) and Post Measure Actions will be set only in last sensor (always relative to the
Modbus slave device)”

DATALOGGER CONFIGURATION
Overview
This chapter will explain following webserver configuration pages:
• Change Datalogger’s name
• Acquisition speed and precision
• IoT Enabling
Configuration -> Datalogger
Figure 49
This page is dedicated to low levels tweaks to improve stability and correct readings.
058
Serial Number: This is the device serial number. It is composed by 8 decimal digits.
Identification: A short string (16 characters maximum) to identify the datalogger.
Identification is used for USB data export. Admitted characters are:
Letters (a-z, A-Z)
Numbers (0-9)
Only this special characters: ._()[]-{}
Non-admitted characters will be substituted with _ (underscore) character.
Measurement Settings (Standard, High Precision, Fast): These are 3 different measure configurations. User can also modify settings, these are recommended settings.
Fast Measurement: The datalogger does not execute analog autocalibration.
Relay Warmup: Delay time between relay activation and acquisition process
ADC Average Number: Number of average computed by Analog to Digital Converter
Simultaneous Relay Number: number of simultaneously activated relays
Relay time Gain: Relay excitation time (tens of milliseconds)
ADC Speed: ADC Sample rate, in SPS (Sample per Seconds)
Relay Discharge: before acquisition process, all relays are set to short circuit to discharge
capacitors.
Relay Reset: Optimization of relays movements
Turn Off Analog During Warm-up: during sensor’s warm-up, analog board is temporarily
turned off
Analog always on: Analog circuits are turned on at first acquisition cycle (in RUN) and
then won’t be turned off (except when CONFIG or STOP mode are set). This allows faster
acquisition rates. In Test Measure mode, analog board is turned on temporarily then turned
off again. If datalogger will go in sleep mode, analog circuit should be re-initialized at next
acquisition cycle.
Polynomial digit: This field establishes number of decimal digits for channel with Linear or
Polynomial conversions. This number is used if the channel is left at “DEFAULT”. A single
channel can override this setting in its own setting page.
059
Enable VW Tracking: This option will speed up Vibrating Wire Excitation by lowering the
time needed for frequencies scan.
VW Noise subtraction: It performs a noise analysis of the channel, to have a better SNR
after excitation.
VW Excitation: This field enables the excitation of Vibrating Wire. If it’s disabled, no
excitation will be applied while reading vibrating wire, thus making the reading impossible.
It can be used to test with functions generators.
Thermocouple break check: before TC readings, OM-240 inspects TC circuitry to check
total resistance. If value is out of thresholds, TC will be flagged as broken, and NAN, +FS
or -FS will be recorded. If Thermocouple break check is disabled, this control won’t be
executed. It is useful to disable this control when using calibrators or mV sources
connected as thermo-couple, since their behavior is not the same as Thermocouple’s wire.
FTP file name format: it allows choice between different file name’s formats.
Low Battery Alarm Threshold: An alarm will be triggered if V IN voltage drops below this
threshold.
IOT Configuration
IOT Enable: This checkbox, enables the communication with Exosite cloud. Read dedicated
chapter for more info.
WARNING: BEWARE OF ENABLING THIS FIELD. BEFORE ENABLING THIS FIELD,
BE SURE TO DELETE ALL MEASURE LOG PRESENT IN MEMORY. IF MEMORY IS
NOT CLEAR, AT THE FIRST ACQUISITION, THE DATALOGGER WILL PROCESS
EXISTING DATA AND TRY TO EXPORT TO EXOSITE CLOUD. USUALLY THIS
OPERATION REQUIRES FEW HOURS AND THE DATALOGGER WILL BE STRUCK
PROCESSING THIS DATA FOR NECESSARY TIME.
IOT Cik: This field is dedicated to the CIK field, gathered from Exosite cloud after the
creation of a device. Read dedicated chapter for more info.
Download/Upload Calibration: it allows logger calibration saving or restoring.
Default Settings Recover: It will restore default settings
Reboot: it reboots the datalogger

ALARMS
Overview
• OM-240 can handle alarms of both channel (reading out of a determined range) and
device (malfunction, wrong configuration etc.)
• Alarms can be recorded on Alarm logs and can be sent via SMS, EMAIL, FTP or activate
through OM-240’s Digital Output (refer to Chapter1 for more info).
• A first configuration must be done in the Alarm Configuration page (on the web server,
click on “Configuration” and “Alarms”). The following screen will be prompted.
Simple steps to configure alarms:
• Select Output
• Select “Delay”
• Select “End”
Configuration
Figure 50
In the “SENSOR” section, it is possible to select how OM-240 will handle Sensor’s
alarm: Enabling any of this checkbox will modify datalogger’s action:
• Send SMS will send an SMS (if RS232 modem is connected) with the Alarm
061
• Send email will send an email (if RS232 modem OR Ethernet connection with internet is
connected) with the Alarm, to specified recipient (see next section)
• Upload on FTP will upload the Alarm Log’s row (if RS232 modem OR Ethernet connection
with internet is connected) with the alarm triggered
• Enable Digital Output will trigger the backpanel’s terminal block to control an external
Alarm system
• Frequency increase will increase acquisition frequency to gather more information about
the event that has triggered the alarm. Acquisition Frequency is set at 1 minute when the
channel is in ALARM. If the datalogger is configured to read different sensors, and more
than one sensor is in alarm, reading frequency will probably be lower.
There are pretty much the same options in the “OM-240” Section, except for
Frequency increase.
Event Nr. Dropdown menu will let you choose the number of events in alarm at which the
datalogger triggers the alarm. 1 means at the first occurrence, 2 will skip first value in alarm,
and if it still in alarm during next acquisition the alarm will be triggered, otherwise there
will be no alarm event.
End Dropdown menu will let you choose the number of events after which the datalogger
will cease to trigger. NEVER is the option to disable this feature, and let the datalogger trigger EVERY set alarm.
After configuration, click Save to proceed.
If you selected SMS, email or FTP, the relative configuration option will be activated.

Channel Alarm Types
Thresholds in OM-240 alarm settings are here described.
WARNING: all alarms evaluations are computed AFTER linear or polynomial conversion, if any.
Low and High Thresholds
Thresholds are basically limits to sensor’s ranges. If a threshold is overcome (lower value so
low threshold, or higher value so high threshold), the alarm is triggered.
Derivate
Derivate alarm will analyze, at n sample, value of n-1 sample and compare to n sample.
If value(n)-value(n-1)>threshold, an alarm is triggered.
Examples
Derivate alarm, linear conversion
(Ln*S+Lz)-(Ln-1*S+Lz) > threshold
Ln is last sample, while Ln-1 is second-last sample. S is sensibility parameter and Lz is offset
(Zero reading) in linear conversion’s channel settings.
065
DIGITAL INPUTS CONFIGURATION
The OM-240 has two digital inputs (IN1 & IN1) on its back side.
Figure 55
The digital inputs could be configured to acquire a trigger or an rain gauge or an
anemometer. The trigger could be used with a seismic station and it is used to start one or
more acquisitions extemporaneous.
NOTE: in case of a rain gauge or anemometer, no elaboration of reading is considered
(ex: average speed, maximum, instantaneous, daily storage, etc.)
066
To set up a digital input it is necessary:
• to select the entry channel configuration, then digital inputs;
• the page digital inputs configuration opens. In this page it is possible to set up 1 or
both digital inputs independently;
Figure 56
067
• in this page you could find the following fields:

Using the drop-down menu, it is possible to select the
type of digital input between 4 possibilities:
-

Therefore, if on the input generally there is no
voltage and you want to do an acquisition with the
OM-240, in case a voltage arrives on the input
(ex: 5Vdc) it is necessary to select Up. This because
you pass from a low (0Vdc) to a high (5Vdc) state.

interval. These data are stored and so they could be
exported in CSV file.
NOTE: If you enable the digital inputs, the OM-240 is in permanent acquisition. This
means that, even if the OM-240 is in Timed, he will never go in “low consumption”
mode. This situation has to be taken into account in case it is necessary to optimize the
consump-tions (for example with batteries or solar panel)
068
Example of digital input in1 configuration
Here is shown the standard configuration of a digital input configured as trigger.
• open page digital input configuration and select the entry channels configuration /
digital inputs from left menu;
Figure 57
• in field input in1 select trigger;
• in field edge select up;
Figure 58
NOTE: in this example it has been selected UP because we supposed there is any voltage on
digital input IN1 and that in case of a trigger, a voltage of 5Vdc is applied.
069
•In field numbEr of rEAdingS (TriggEr) insert the number of acquisitions you want that
the OM-240 does after a trigger signal (ex.5)
Figure 59
• Push save changes to confirm the configuration.
The OM-240, with this configuration, in case it receives a positive voltage on digiTAl
inpuT in1, does 5 consecutive acquisitions of all configured channels.
A practical example of the use of trigger function is that of associate OM-240 to a
Seismic Station. The majority of Seismic Stations has the possibility, in case of a seismic
event, to ac-tivated a digital output (an output voltage). If this signal is connected directly
to the digital input IN1 of the OM-240, when a seismic event happens the Seismic Station
furnishes a digital output on the digital input of the OM-240. The OM-240 starts to acquire
all connected sensors to verify the monitoring area after the event.
070
Example of digital input in2 configuration
Here is shown the standard configuration of a digital input configured as rain gauge.
• open page digital input configuration and select the entry channels configuration /
digital inputs from left menu;
Figure 60
• in field input in2 select rain gauge;
Figure 61
071
• in field sensibility insert the sensibility of sensor (for example 0.2 mm/count);
• in field unit of measure insert the unit of measure of the done conversion (example
“mm”)
Figure 62
With this configuration, the OM-240 acquires the number of impulses for a period of a
hour. Once this interval ends, the OM-240 memorizes the number of counts done during this
period of time. If for example in one hour 5 counts are detached, the OM-240 applies the
following conversion:
5 COUNT * 0.2 MM/COUNT = 1 MM
Once tche value is memorized, the counter sets to zero.
Alarm configuration is the same as all other channel types, with High, Low and Derivative
Thresholds. VC alarm with Logical Operations is present, as a Virtual Channel alarm can be
used in Virtual Channels Logical Alarms.

VIRTUAL CHANNELS
Overview
This chapter is focused on Virtual Channels (VC from now on), to understand why VC are
implemented on OM datalogger and how to configure them.
1. Why are Virtual Channels implemented in OM Family? – This paragraph shows benefits
of Virtual Channels
2. Scripts – Scripts are a fundamental section of Virtual Channels’ architecture.
3. Virtual Channels configuration – “HOW TO” use and configure Virtual Channels’ with
analog and digital sensors, digital input and multiplexers.
4. Common Errors – Here are shown common errors made during virtual channels creation,
and how to avoid them.
Why are Virtual Channels Implemented?
We usually use sensors to get a measure. Anyway, we could need a way to modify that
number because we need either a derived measure (airflow/airspeed) or an expression calculated on more than 1 sensor (dewpoint or Δt between two zones for instance). We can calculate this with spreadsheet or just let our datalogger do the work.
OM Family has this feature with Virtual Channels.
Virtual Cannels allows operations to be made on a single channel or between channels.
OM group them into Scripts, with a maximum of 5 scripts containing 16 virtual channels
each. Each Virtual Channel can handle up to 9 elements (including Virtual Channel beloning
to the same script).
Figure 63
073
Scripts
OM-240 automatically provides the script name during its creation. Acquisition timing
can be chosen between 1 second and 7 days, with “DEFAULT” option not overriding
OM-240 global acquisition timing.
After selecting “Create” button the new script will be listed below:
Figure 64
Edit button allows the configuration of Virtual Channels contained by the selected Script. As we
see in following Figure, OM-240 provides a large toolbox to program Virtual Channels.
Figure 65
074
Figure 66
an: selects an analog channel (prompts a dialog box to input channel number)
dig: selects a digital channel (prompts a dialog box to input channel number)
mux: selects multiplexer position (prompts two dialog boxes, the 1st for channel number,
the 2nd for mux address)
cv: selects a virtual channel (only those included in the same script, prompts a dialog box for
CV number)
Apart from this we have mathematics operations, like +, -, *, /, sin, cos, tan, pi-value.
Logical operations allow operations between alarms states. Every channel (analog, digital, virtual and mux) provides a checkbox in alarm configuration, VC Alarm with Logical
Operations. This enables alarms to be handled by virtual channels.
Figure 67
The following Virtual Channel will trigger an alarm only if one of the two channels is in
alarm.

MODBUS TCP (SCADA INTEGRATION)
Overview
Modbus ADU (application data unit) is sent in form of TCP packets. All Modbus TCP ADU
are sent via TCP to registered port 502.
Modbus over TCP allows OM-240 integration in LabVIEW and SCADA systems. By
reading holding registers, it’s possible to gather all sensors data (analog, smartmodbus,
multiplexers, digital inputs), events and alarm, datalogger status and information.
• It’s possible to read sensor’s alarm status.
• By integrating OM-240 in a SCADA, industrial plant remote monitoring and logging are
possible without the need on-site visits.
• Maintenance costs are reduced through centralized control and monitoring to minimize
downtime.
• Centralized alarms to improve operational effectiveness.
• Data could be available in mobility (depending on used SCADA).
COMMUNICATION
Communication Bus
Communication bus for this module is Ethernet interface.
Port used for TCP communication is 502 (Modbus TCP Standard Port)
Modbus function to use for registry reading is ReadHoldingRegister.
Measure Register
For each sensor (analogs, digitals, multiplexers and virtual channels), 16 registers will be
exported. Input A’s last acquired measure (Offset 0-1), input b (Offset 2-3), sensor’s temperature (Offset 4-5), Acquisition’s timestamp (Offset 6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14) and different flags
to show acquisition status and alarm status (Offset 15).
Measures will be communicated in float IEEE754 standard.
Endialess can be user configured by writing 0-1-2-3 values into configuration register at
0x5000 address.
Following table will represent 4 endianless configurations:
IEEE754 = AA:BB:CC:DD
AA = MSB

Sensor Acquired
This register is set to 1 when sensor is acquired and a new data is available. SCADA (or
Modbus Master) reads the updated register and reset it to 0 by using Coils Functions. In this
way the system is ready to note the presence of a new acquisition.
This BIT is also accessible through read/write coils functions.
Coils are mapped on flag “Sensor Acquired” having referral to base address of each sensor.
To obtain Coil address of a sensor, Use the following formula:
Coil Address = Base Address/10
Base Address computation will be shown in next pages.
Example 1
Channel: CH4
Base Address: 30
Coil Address: 3
Example 2
Channel: DIG2
Base Address: 90
Coil Address: 9
By using Coil functions, Modbus Master will be able to read the entire Coil Vector (858
sensors) in a single Modbus transaction, to understand acquired sensors and to read only
updated measures, without the need to read the 10 registers block every time.
Input X Valid
It indicates if matching Inputs are valid or not.
If sensor is configured as Volt 1CH, registers status will be:
• Input A Valid: 1
• Input B Valid: 0
• Input temp Valid: 0
For a digital single channel sensor, registers status will be:
• Input A Valid: 1
• Input temp Valid: 1
• Input B Valid: 0
Input X Alarm
It indicates if matching inputs are in alarm.

TROUBLESHOOTING
In case of OM-240 malfunctioning or irregular behavior, read the following pages and
carry out the indicated attempts before contacting our Assistance Department.
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
This paragraph provides basic OM-240 troubleshooting tips.
ARE YOU UP-TO-DATE?
1. Verify that you installed the last version of firmware
2. Verify that you have an adequate power supply (from photovoltaic module or external
power supply) on the V IN clamp of the OM-240; check if the voltage is within the
range accepted by the OM-240 and stable.
IF THE OM-240 DOESN’T TURN
ON. Follow this step, testing after each:
1. remove power supply on V IN clamp for 10 seconds and try to reconnect.
2. verify the presence of jumper cables on the “PWR CONFIG” clamp
3. control that the power supply system works, is correctly sized and respects the
character-istic declared on datasheet
4. make sure you hadn’t set the OM-240 in Timed mode using the webpage “Energy
management”
NOTE: if on the display appears TELNET MODE, contact directly OMEGA Assistancetechnical support for assistance.
IF THE OM-240 DISPLAY STOPS RESPONDING
Follow this step, testing after each:
1. remove power supply on V IN clamp for 10 seconds and try to reconnect.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO UPLOAD THE CONFIGURATION
Follow this step, testing after each:
1. on webpage STATUS verify that the OM-240 is in “Config”
2. make sure that the configuration you are trying to upload has been created with the same
major release of the firmware on the OM-240.
0103
NOTE: if what is written above is correct, the configuration file could be damaged. In this
case, the OM-240 warns with an error message and the file is no more usable. We suggest
to repeat the configuration.
IF THE OM-240 STOPS DURING AN ACQUISITION
Follow this step, testing after each:
1. verify the events log and refer to manual “Codes Alarms-Events” to understand the
eventual logs
2. verify that the OM-240 is correctly supplied. If the power supply is below the
minimum threshold or over the maximum threshold of power supply, the OM-240
blocks every activity in progress;
3. verify the alarm log to identify the problem and refer to manual “Codes Alarms-Events”
to understand the eventual logs
4. Verify if in alarm logs there is an “overcurrent” error. In case of overcurrent, the
OM-240 stops the acquisition.
5. verify the available memory. In case of full memory, the OM-240 stops the acquisition.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO SYS MENU
Follow this step, testing after each::
1. verify that the OM-240 is not acquiring. In this case, wait until the end of the acquisition or
go in “DL” menu and select “Stop DL”
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD DATA ON USB FLASH-DRIVE
Follow this step, testing after each:
1. verify that the USB flash-drive is formatted in FAT32;
2. verify with the PC that the USB flash-drive is read without any errors.
3. try with a different USB flash-drive
LOCAL/REMOTE COMMUNICATION
This paragraph provides OM-240 local communication (from PC through a LAN cable)
and remote communication (from PC through internet) troubleshooting tips.
ARE YOU UP TO DATE?
1. Verify that you installed the last version of firmware
2. Verify that you have the correct power supply (from photovoltaic module or external
pow-er supply) on the V IN clamp of the OM-240
0104
IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ESTABLISH THE CONNECTION WITH THE OM-240 .
Follow this step, testing after each:
1. remove the power supply on V IN clamp for 10 seconds and try to reconnect.
2. reboot the PC and try to connect
3. make sure you configured appropriately the network card of the PC, that is it is part of the
same subnet mask of the OM-240.
4. make sure you are using the correct LAN cable according to the type of network you chose.
5. make sure the OM-240 is not configured in “Timed”. In this case the network card
remains switched off. It is necessary to turn it on manually from SYS menu.
6. make sure the OM-240 is not used by another user. The OM-240 accepts only one
connec-tion at a time.
7. make sure that the last user that logged on the OM-240 had logged out. Otherwise, it
is necessary to wait until the automatic log out. This happens after the time configured
in page “Energy management” has passed. You could also reboot the OM-240, in order to
not wait for the log out.
8. in case of use of remote communication devices (ex: HSPA router connected to the
OM-240), remove them and do a test of direct connection between PC and the OM-240.
This is neces-sary in order to exclude problems with communication interfaces.
IF USER CANNOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE OM-240 WITH AN USER Follow this step,
testing after each:
1. make sure that the access credentials are correct
2. if you logged out with a n user and you are trying to enter again with a different user,
delete the browser cache, close and re-open the browser (some browsers are configured in
order to memorize passwords)
3. make sure that the last user that logged on the OM-240 had logged out. Otherwise, it
is necessary to wait until the automatic log out. This happens after the time configured
in page “Energy management” has passed. You could also reboot the OM-240, in order to
not wait for the log out.
4. in case of use of remote communication devices (ex: HSPA router connected to OM-240),
remove them and do a test of direct connection between PC and OM-240. This is necessary
in order to exclude problems with communication interfaces.
THE CONNECTION TROUGH THE OM-240 AND COMPUTER GOES
DOWN. Follow this step, testing after each:
1. be sure that your PC is not set on Energy Saving mode
2. Try to change the LAN cable
3. Try using another LAN port of your PC or using another PC
4. verify that the OM-240 is not in Timed mode. In this case, once ended the timeout
time configured in webpage “Energy management”, the network card turns off if there
isn’t any data exchange.
0105
E-MAIL SENDING
ARE YOU UP TO DATE?
1. Verify that you installed the last version of firmware
2. Verify that you have the correct power supply (from photovoltaic module or external
pow-er supply) on the V IN clamp of the OM-240
This paragraph provides OM-240 e-mail sending troubleshooting tips.
THE E-MAIL TRANSMISSION INVOLVES DIFFERENT DEVICES. IN THIS
DOCUMENT, WE TRY TO DETERMINE WHICH DEVICE COULD CAUSE THE
PROBLEM AND THEN WE TRY TO SOLVE IT.
The “system” is composed as follows:
1. OM-240
2. Internet Service Provider (ISP): allows the communication between OM-240 and the e-mail server
3. E-mail Server (ESP): allows to send and to receive e-mails
NOTE: it may be that the ISP (Telecom, Vodafone, AT&T, Verizon, etc.) doesn’t
coincide with the ESP (Gmail, AOL, etc.)
Resolution
FIRST OF ALL, INSURE WITH YOUR IPSP THAT:
1. The SIM card or your network is enabled to the internet
2. The e-mail transmission is allowed on the used APN or on the used network
SECONDLY, INSURE WITH YOUR ESP THAT:
1. there are no momentary breakdowns on ESP server
2. the username and password of your e-mail account are valid and accepted
3. that the e-mail account you want to use is active
THESE POINTS DO NOT DEPEND ON OMEGA ENGINEERING AND NEED TO BE
RESOLVED THROUGH YOUR ISP OR ESP.
If you don’t have any problem with the ISP and the ESP, you could proceed looking for
causes on the OM-240.
0106
IF THE OM-240 DOESN’T SEND ANY E-MAIL ALTHOUGH IT IS
CONFIGURED. Follow this step, testing after each:
1. verify the events log and refer to manual “Codes Alarms-Events” to understand eventual
logs
2. verify that the SIM is properly inserted in its slot into the communication device (HSPA
router or 2G modem) or that your network devices are properly configured to permit the
e-mail sending (firewall, port, etc)
3. verify that you inserted your SMTP server account correctly (“SMTP Server
Configuration” page)
4. verify that the SMTP account is a simple authentication. The OM-240 doesn’t support SSL.
5. If you use a communication device base on mobile network, verify that there is a mobile
coverage (according to the adopted technology e.g: 2G, 3G or 4G) on the site where the
OM-240 is installed.
6. If you use a 2G (GSM/GPRS) modem, verify that there is a good 2G signal where the
OM-240 is installed. In some place there is only a 3G or 4G coverage. 2G modem is
not compatible with 3G, 4G and CDMA networks.
0107
FTP SERVER SENDING DATA
ARE YOU UP-TO-DATE?
1. Verify that you installed the last version of firmware
2. Verify that you have the correct power supply (from photovoltaic module or external
pow-er supply) on the V IN clamp of the OM-240
THIS PARAGRAPH PROVIDES FTP SERVER SENDING DATA TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS.
The FTP transmission involves different devices. In this document, we try to determine which
device could cause the problem and then we try to solve it.
The “System” is composed as follows:
1. OM-240
2. Internet Service Provider (ISP): allows the communication between the OM-240 and
FTP server
3. server FTP: physical space in which it is possible to memorize files
NOTE: the FTP server could be completely transferred to societies that offer an
hosting FTP service. It could also be internal. In this second case, you have to
ask for information to your IT manager.
FIRST OF ALL, INSURE WITH YOUR ISP THAT:
1. The SIM card or your network is enabled to the internet traffic through APN
2. The data transmission on FTP server is allowed on the used APN or on the used network
INSURE WITH YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR OR WITH THE SOCIETY THAT
SUPPLIES THE HOSTING FTP SERVICE THAT:
1. there are no momentary breakdowns on FTP server
2. the username and password of FTP account are valid and accepted
3. the FTP account and the same FTP server that will be used are active
THESE POINTS DO NOT DEPEND ON OMEGA ENGINEERING AND NEED TO BE
RESOLVED THROUGH YOUR ISP OR ESP
If you don’t have any problem with the ISP and the FTP server, you could proceed looking for
causes on the OM-240.
IF THE OM-240 DOESN’T SEND ANY DATA ON FTP SERVER ALSO IF CONFIGURED.
0108
Follow this step, testing after each:
1. verify the events log and refer to manual “Codes Alarms-Events” to understand the possible logs
2. if you use a HSPA router or 2G modem verify that the SIM card is properly inserted in its slot.
3. verify that you have inserted your FTP server account correctly (“Measure log data transfer” page)
4. verify that the FTP server is a basic authentication FTP (for example not MD5, KERBEROS
etc.) and that doesn’t utilize any secure layer (for example SSH/SSL, FTPS/SFTP etc.). The
OM-240 does not support secure layer and encrypted authentication (encrypted
username and password).
5. if you use a mobile device, verify that there is a good coverage on the site were the
OM-240 is installed.
6. if you use 2G (GSM/GPRS) modem, verify that there is a good 2G (GSM/GPRS) signal on
the site were the OM-240 is installed. In some place there is only a 3G or 4G coverage.
2G modem is not compatible with 3G, 4G and CDMA networks .

ANALOG INPUTS
Number of Inputs: 24 differential analog inputs, individually configured. Channel expansion provided by multiplexers. There are 8 terminal blocks (each terminal block can handle
up to 3 sensors). The OM-240 is designed to work with 2 to 6-wire sensors. You can connect
2-wire sensors on each channel and read 24 sensors, or 4-wire sensor and read 12 channels.
The system will order sensors depending on how many wires they use, placing 6 wires sensors first, 4 wires in the middle, and 2 wires last.
Once software configuration is done, clicking on “Wiring scheme” button on the web interface near the sensors will show how to physically connect the chosen sensor to the block. It
shows “relative” position, so if you start connecting sensors from the first you will not have
to leave “unused” positions (except for the ground connection of every block, if not used).
Multiplexers are needed if the total “wires” from sensors exceeds the 48 provided by the
OM-240.
