Description

Laureate 4-20 mA output, pulse input totalizer transmitters accept two independently scalable input channels from a wide range of pulse sources, such as NPN or PNP proximity switches, contact closures, digital logic, magnetic pickups down to 12 mV, or AC voltages to 250 Vac. Input pulse rates can be as high as 1 MHz.

  • With a Standard Main Board, the transmitter output can be scaled to engineering units, for example to transmit totalized flow in gallons from a flow meter output. Square root extraction is standard.
     
  • With an Extended Main Board, the transmitter output can track rate or totalized rate (such as gallons) whether the transducer output is linear, requires square root extraction, or requires custom curve linearization. The latter can be provided by a curvilinear spline fit with up to 180 data points. The transmitter can also count up to a preset total or down from a preset total to zero. Such applications typically make use of optional dual solid state relays, which are available as options. External reset of totals is via a special three-position screw terminal connector. The two input channels A & B can also be combined arithmetically to provide an analog transmitter output that tracks A+B (e.g., sum of two flows), A-B (e.g., difference of two flows), AxB (e.g., horsepower as product of force and RPM), A/B (ratio of two flow), or A/B-1 (draw or relative elongation of material between rollers).

Signal Conditioner Board for Laureate Dual TotalizerExceptional Accuracy and Stability

The analog output is generated by an ultra-linear 12-bit (4096 step) digital-to-analog convert (DAC) whose output span can be adjusted from 0 to ±999,999 counts and zero can be adjusted from -999,999 to +999,999 counts. The analog output has a rated accuracy of ±0.05% of output span. The output update rate is 25/sec.

Transmitter programming is via a three-terminal RS-232 port using Laurel's PC-based Instrument Setup Software. This software can be downloaded from this website at no charge. The required transmitter-to-PC interface cable is available from Laurel (P/N CBL03).

The transmitters are housed in a DIN rail case that is only 22.5 mm (0.89") thick. Signal connections are via detachable screw clamp plug connectors.

Typical Applications

Up/Down Totalizing

Dual-channel up/down totalizing using one channel for counts and one channel for count direction

Up/down totalizing is provided by a mode of the Extended totalizing transmitter where pulses are either added or subtracted on Channel A based on a direction input on Channel B. The unit can also be programmed so that counting by Channel A is inhibited by an input on Channel B.

Combining Two Totals

Dual-channel up/down totalizing, where two channels are added or subtracted.

A+B, A-B, A/B and AxB arithmetic functions are available with the Extended totalizing transmitter. A+B can sum two totals, while A-B subtracts the outflow total from inflow total. A/B ratio applied to two totals helps assure the proper mixing of components.

Up or Down Counting with Preset

Two repetitive fill operations handled by a single Laureate dual-channel digital counter and totalizer

A single Laureate dual-channel totalizing transmitter will handle two repetitive fill operations by counting from zero up to a preset, or down from a preset to zero. The dual relay option is required.

Machine ON Time and Utilization

Dual-channel up/down totalizing to measure machine ON time by counting power line cycles.

An easy way to measure the ON time of machines is to count AC line cycles and scale the total to hours. To display machine utilization or duty cycle in percent, use the Extended totalizing transmitter. Connect Channel A to switched AC and Channel B to the AC line, and apply a 100 multiplier to the A/B ratio.

Total and Rate Simultaneously

Displaying rate and total in the same Laureate totalizer and rate meter or transmitter

The Extended version of the Laureate dual channel totalizing transmitter can transmit scaled rate or total for the same channel at the push of a button, and alarm both the rate and total. The Extended version can also do curve linearization, thereby extending the working range and accuracy of flow transducers.
