Design-Rite Inc., Data Logger Data Sheet

Refuse Compactor Control
	Physical Description   Data logger physical dimensions are 8" Wide X 6" High. The card is mounted by means of four standoffs on 7" Wide X 5" High centers. Standoffs have clearance holes designed for mounting by (4) 6-32 machine screws (provided).
	Connections To Equipment   An 18 point pluggable terminal connector is mounted on the lower edge of the data logger. Connections to the card are as follows.
	Terminal Number Function Default Signal Name 1 Power Supply Hot   2 Power Supply Common   3 Input #1 Hot Emergency Stop String 4 Input #1 Common   5 Input #2 Hot Motor Starter Overload 6 Input #2 Common   7 Input #3 Hot Motor Starter Coil 8 Input #3 Common   9 Input #4 Hot Automatic 10 Input #4 Common   11 Input #5 Hot Extend Solenoid 12 Input #5 Common   13 Input #6 Hot Retract Solenoid 14 Input #6 Common   15 Input #7 Hot Unit Part Full 16 Input #7 Common   17 Input #8 Hot Unit Full 18 Input #8 Common   N/A Ground Wire Ground
	In addition to the above, two terminals on the data logger are used for connection of the motor current sensor and a green ground wire is provided to meet future UL requirements.
	Connections To Communications   A round 3 pole switched 1/8" phono jack connector is provided for connection to a standard RS-232 serial port AND A modular telephone style connector is provided for connection to an incoming telephone line. Note: Only One of the above ports can be used at a time The communication speed is limited to 2400 baud to retain the ability to download programs to the field reliably .
	Display (Option)   A small two line by 16 character display can be connected to the data logger. It can be connected (temporarily or permanently) or disconnected during operation of the data logger. Events (changes of input status) are displayed on the screen when they occur. Note: Due to the limited screen size, multiple events may be overwritten before they can be recognized
	Program Functionality - Discrete Events   The data logger contains a battery backed real time clock. Events are time stamped when they are logged. Each transition of an input point from off to on or from on to off is time stamped and logged to non-volatile memory for subsequent retrieval. Note: In order to minimize communications burden, extra attention is given to insuring that data is as compact as is practical .
	Program Functionality - Analog Data   While the conditions are customizable, it is expected that motor current analog data is logged when the compactor is in automatic and the ram is extending. Motor currents are captured at pre defined intervals, typically 100 milliseconds and logged to volatile memory. Depending on the length of a compactor cycle, the most recent one to three complete cycles is retained. Note:  In order to minimize communications burden, extra attention is given to insuring that data is as compact as is practical.
	Program Functionality - Miscellaneous   Each data logger has a unique serial number stored in non-volatile memory which is readable when data is acquired. The correct time and date may be set in the real time clock via the phone line. The Logging Interval can be configured.
