PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Model 954 is a high performance, microprocessor-based 4-channel power supply/controller designed for use with Mass Flow Controllers (MFC) or Mass Flow Meters

(MFM).

A linear regulator provides a low noise, foldback current limited, thermal overload protected

+15Vdc and -15Vdc power supply for each of the (4) Channels. The Model 954 accepts user selectable 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA input signals. It also supplies 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA setpoint signals, for each channel, for flow control in MFCʼs.

The firmware utilizes a Real Time Operating Sytem (RTOS) for real time multitasking capabilities. This allows continuous monitoring of each channel's flow rates, total flow and setpoints regardless of the task being performed. A 16-bit multi-channel, high speed, sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter provides accurate flowrate data. A 32K x 8 battery backed RAM stores more than 90 Units of Measure and 190 Gas Identifiers selectable by the user. All pertinent data, required by the microprocessor at power-up to re-initialize the system, is also stored in the same RAM.

The Model 954 utilizes a 4-line by 20 character back lighted LCD display. A built in

Totalizer, for each channel automatically recognizes the units of measure selected and adjusts the time base for the integrator accordingly. The user can select either Flow or

Total to be displayed for each channel. When selected, the setpoint signal is displayed and can be altered via the front panel switches. Override controls for opening or closing the

MFC valves are also available for each channel. Annunciator LED's display the selected valve override conditions.

Ratio control is user selectable for master/slave operation. Channel 1 is always the master and any of the other 3 channels may be selected as slaves. This master/slave arrangement utilizes the actual flow of Channel 1 as the master signal.

Both RS232 and RS485 serial communications are available. All functions selectable from the front panel switches are also accessible via the RS232/RS485 serial ports. Only one, either RS232 or RS485, serial port is active at any one time. Selection, including a baud rate of 9600 or 19.2K, is made via the front panel switches.

Each flow channel has a high and low user programmable alarm. The alarms activate an opto-isolated open collector transistor output capable of switching 25Vdc @ 10ma.

The unit can be rack mounted using standard half-rack hardware or can be bench mounted using the retractable stand provided. Input power is selectable, via the rear panel power selector for 100, 115 or 230 Vac, 50-60 Hz.

MODEL 954 CONFIGURATION

As Sierra Instrument supplies mass flow instruments with two different valve circuits (15 Vdc and 30 Vdc), our Model 954 is designed to accommodate both types. This is accomplished by moving 4 jumpers

(one per channel) on the Model 954 PCA (inside the housing). Please refer to the PCA schematic in

Appendix A for the location of these jumpers. All Model 954 units come factory set for 15 Vdc valve circuit operation (unless ordered new with a 30 Vdc instrument).

Determining which valve circuit you have inside your Sierra flow instrument.

The following Sierra instruments have 15 Vdc valve circuits:

All Model 830 mass flow meters

All Model 840 mass flow controllers with plastic electronics cover

All Model 840 mass flow controllers with full-scale flow below 1.0 slpm

Model 840L mass flow controllers with metal electronics cover having a plug in the rear of the cover (upper right)

The following Sierra instruments have 30 Vdc valve circuits:

All Model 840M mass flow controllers

Model 840L Mass flow controllers with metal electronics cover having a screw in the rear of the cover (upper right)

The following Sierra instruments should never be used with the Model 954:

Any 840H mass flow controller. Contact Sierra Instruments for information on operating the Model 840H.

Jumper verification and adjustment

Select which one of the Model 954ʼs four channels is to be used with each of your instruments.

With the power disconnected, remove the top 2 large screws on the rear of Model 954. With the screws removed, carefully slide the top cover to the rear exposing the PCA inside (see Appendix A for PCA schematic). Locate the jumpers numbered 3 to 10. They are selected as follows:

PAGE 6B

START-UP

The Model 954 has a 100 Vac, 115 Vac or 230 Vac, 50/60 Hz power selector switch located at the rear of the instrument. Please refer to page 4 to locate this switch. Verify the power selector switch is in the proper position prior to connecting the power cable to the unit. Verify power ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position. Then perform the following steps.

1. Connect the power cable to the instrument and apply the proper input power. Do not make any other connections to the instrument.

2. Turn power ON/OFF switch ON.

3. The display will momentarily display the current version of the firmware utilized, If you purchase the model

954 separately, it will show the following factory default display:

126.72 SCCM #1

126.72 SCCM #2

126.71 SCCM C3H6O

126.72 SCCM C2H3N

If your model 954 was purchased with Sierra MFM or MFC instruments, each channel will be set to the

proper calibration for that unit.

Note: All 4 channels should have the CLOSE annunciators illuminated. The values 126.71 and 126.72

are approximate and is the display for an open signal input . It may not correspond exactly to the

display shown on this unit.

4. Change the Units of Measure and Gas Identifiers as desired. Please refer to page 10. To blank the Units

of Measure select "00" then "ENT". To blank the Gas Identifier select "000" then "ENT". To blank the

entire line, please refer to RS232/485 Commands, Selecting/Blanking/Reading Display on page 21.

5. The Model 954 is factory calibrated at 0.000 and 5.000Vdc to display 0.00 and 100.00 for each channel.

To change the display range, without recalibration, see MANUAL CAL/RANGE, Range(Changing

Range) on page 15. To enter a Gas Correction Factor or Multiplier, refer to MANUAL CAL/RANGE,

Calibrate (Multiplier) on page 16. The factory Multiplier setting is 1.0000.

6. The Model 954 can accept 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA input signals. If either 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA is required, the instrument needs to be recalibrated. Select the proper signal input for the Transducer to be used for each channel. Please refer to MANUAL SETUP, Selecting Input on page 11. Do not attempt to recalibrate the instrument at this time. The factory Input setting is 0-5Vdc.

7. Select Filter to optimize reading stability and conversion speed. The factory Filter setting is 15Hz.

8. Allow 30 minutes warm-up time.

9. Turn power ON/OFF switch OFF.

10 . Connect MFC/MFM #1 to J1 on the Model 954 using the Connector Pin Designation information on

page 5. Connect all ground connections available to the transducer. Example: If the MFC/MFM has 4

ground pins, connect all four ground pins shown on J1. All ground pins on J1, J2, J3 and J4 are

common but are routed on separate wires from the connector to a ground plane on the instrument

motherboard.

11. Connect MFC/MFM #2, 3 and 4 to the instrument. The Power Supply inside The 954 is designed to

provide +/-15Vdc @ 250-400 mA to each transducer. Do not use a Transducer that requires more than

+/-15Vdc @ 500mA on any channel.

12. Verify the display illuminates and the transducer readings are essentially correct. If the selected signal

input for a channel is 0-5Vdc proceed to Step 13 for that channel. If the selected signal input for a

channel is 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA, that channel needs to be recalibrated. Refer to MANUAL CAL/RANGE,

Calibrate section pages 14 and 15 to recalibrate that channel.

PAGE 7

START-UP

13. To utilize the Setpoint (Control) voltage for MFC's, set the Setpoint voltage for each channel to the

desired setting. Please refer to MANUAL SETUP, Selecting Setpoint (Control Voltage) on page 10.

The factory Setpoint default is 0.0000 for all 4 channels.

The Setpoint voltage, for a 0-5Vdc signal input, is calculated as follows.

Setpoint Voltage = (Setpoint Value/Range Value) * 5.000Vdc

Example: If the Setpoint Value = 120.00 SCCM and the Range Value is 250.00 SCCM,

the Setpoint Voltage = (120.00/250.00)*5.000 = 2.400Vdc.

For a 0-10Vdc signal input

the Setpoint Voltage= (120.00/250.00)*10.000Vdc = 4.800Vdc

For a 4-20mA signal input

the Setpoint Current = (120.00/250.00)*16mA + 4mA = 11.68mA.

14. The Flowrate Alarms are used to monitor the flowrate of the MFC. If the flow rate is not within the

selected HIGH and LOW Alarm values, an opto-isolated open collector output is activated. This output

can be used to illuminate warning lights to alert the user if the Flow Controller's Setpoint (Control)

voltage is not controlling the flow within a desired window. Refer to MANUAL SETUP, Selecting Alarms

on page 12. The factory default is HIGH Alarm set at 75.000, LOW Alarm at 25.000 and HYSTERESIS

at 010 counts.

15. To activate the Setpoint (Control) voltage to the MFC, select RUN for the desired channel. Reference

MANUAL SETUP, Selecting Valve Override (Open, Close or Run) on page 9. The default at power-up

is Valve Close.

16. If the Units of Measure are in flow units, The Model 954 automatically calculates TOTAL flow using a

Riemann Sum Integration method. To display TOTAL or to reset the TOTAL display, refer to

MANUAL/SETUP, Selecting Display (Flow or Total) on page 9. If the Units of Measure are not in flow

units, the TOTAL is not calculated or displayed.

17. The Model 954 has both RS232 and RS485 serial communications ports. Only one port is active at any

one time and is user selectable. The RS232 port has (1) 9-pin D-sub connector, while the RS485 port

has (2) 9-pin D-sub connectors. All Setups described earlier can be performed using the serial

communications ports. Reference RS232/485 Hookup and Commands on pages 17 through 26.

Channel 1 is shown selected above. An asterisk appears to signify the Channel selected. To select

Channel 2, depress CH SEL switch twice, then select OPEN, CLOSE or RUN. If OPEN is selected, ground is applied to the appropriate channel connector pin-4. This ground is at the same potential as pin-9. If CLOSE is selected, ground is applied to pin-12. Both pin-4 and pin-12 are grounded with an open collector transistor capable of sinking 250mA at 25V. If RUN is selected, no override signals are sent and the MFC Setpoint control is activated. If the valve override does not appear to function correctly, you may need to re-configure The Model 954 using the 15/30 VDC jumpers on the PCA. Refer to page 6B to verify valve circuit configuration of The 954 is correct for your MFM or MFC.

The Filter selection sets the output word rate which in turn sets the corner frequency for the sigma-delta A/D converter. With an output word rate of 15Hz, the filter's corner frequency is typically 12.7Hz. The filters are optimized to settle to full accuracy every conversion and yield better than 80dB rejection for both 50 and 60Hz with output word rates at or below 15Hz. The last filter output word rate setting for the selected channel is displayed for user convenience. Each channel may be set to a different filter output word rate. The factory default is15Hz for each channel to optimize response time and noise rejection.

The Input selection sets the full scale input signal and the full scale setpoint (control) signal for the selected channel. The selected channel and the input signal setting that was previously selected is displayed during selection. The factory default is 0-5V for each channel. Any input may be selected for any channel. The instrument compensates for any incompatibilities even in the Master/Slave configuration.

Example: If the full scale input selected is 0-10V, then the full scale setpoint output is also 0-10V. If the

Master Channel is 0-10V and the Slave Channel is 4-20mA, the instrument compensates for the the 0-10V input signal for the Slave. incompatibility and sends a 0-10V setpoint signal for the Master and a 4-20mA setpoint signal proportional to

Note: For most MFC's the full scale input is 0-5V.

The "Zero only" sequence shown above is used to zero the MFC. Verify the input signal is at or close to zero prior to performing this sequence. In SCREEN 5, the data shown after "SIGNAL" is the raw analog-to-digital data corresponding to the input signal applied. This data is live and will change as the input signal is changed. It should be close to zero, unless the MFC is being zeroed at a point other than zero. If ENT is depressed during SCREEN 5, the value present at the input will be zeroed on the display, as shown in SCREEN 6. If ESC is entered, the previous zeroed value applies.

The Range only sequence is used to calibrate the full scale reading of the MFC. Apply a full scale input signal, typically 5Vdc to the signal input prior to performing this sequence. At SCREEN 5, the user has 2 alternatives. The first is to accept the display RANGE value shown by depressing ENT. The second is to enter a new RANGE value, as shown above, prior to completing the RANGE sequence. The Signal displayed on SCREEN 6 is the live, un-scaled analog-to-digital converter data, and will change as the input changes. The value present when ENT is depressed will be used in the full scale calibration calculations. If ESC is entered instead of ENT, the previous calibration applies. NOTE: DO NOT USE

THE RANGE ONLY SEQUENCE TO CHANGE RANGES. USE SELECTION 2 SHOWN IN SCREEN 2.

The Zero & Range calibration allows both zero and full scale calibrations to be performed in the same sequence. The input signal needs to be changed from a zero to a full scale value during the calibration sequence. The same rules apply as previously mentioned in the Zero only and Range only procedures.

The Range sequence is not a calibration sequence. Changing the Range value simply replaces the

Range value used during the previous full scale calibration. The analog-to-digital converter data used during the previous full scale calibration is still valid. Ranging is a simple way to change ranges when changing MFC's. It assumes the full scale output voltage of the new MFC is the same as the previous

MFC.

Entering a MULTIPLIER value changes the display by that multiplier factor. All data values are multiplied

by the MULTIPLIER prior to display. The MULTIPLIER is sometimes referred to as a GAS

CORRECTION factor when used with MFC's. If the MFC is calibrated with nitrogen and

a nother gas is used with the MFC, a GAS CORRECTION factor can be entered to recalibrate the MFC to the gas used.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the Model 954 4-Channel MFC Power Supply/Controller used for?
The Model 954 is designed for use with Mass Flow Controllers (MFC) or Mass Flow Meters (MFM). It provides a power source and control for those devices, allowing you to manage gas flow rates and total flow.
What types of input signals does the Model 954 accept?
The Model 954 accepts user selectable 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA input signals.
What types of serial communication options are available?
The Model 954 provides both RS232 and RS485 serial communication ports. You can select either one for communication with a PC or other systems.
Does the Model 954 have a totalizer function?
Yes, each channel of the Model 954 has a built-in totalizer that calculates and displays the total flow over time, provided the Units of Measure are in flow units.
How does the Model 954 handle alarms?
The Model 954 has a user programmable alarm system for each channel. You can set high and low alarm limits with hysteresis, and an opto-isolated open collector output is activated when the flow rate exceeds those limits.
Can I use the Model 954 in master/slave operation?
Yes, the Model 954 supports ratio control for master/slave operation. Channel 1 acts as the master, and you can select any of the other 3 channels as slaves.
