FREE ScanView
Programming Software
The scanner can be powered from the Micro USB connection.
When using the Micro USB connection, DO NOT apply AC or DC
power to the scanner.
The easiest and quickest way to program your DPM-
100 Modbus display is to use the FREE ScanView
programming software. This software is loaded into
the scanner and connects and installs directly to your
PC with a USB cable. We recommend that the first
thing you do after taking the Modbus scanner out of
the box is connect it to your PC with the provided
USB cable – do not use a different cable. DO NOT
apply AC or DC power to the scanner while your PC
is connected to the scanner as it will disrupt the USB
connection.
ScanView programming software is intuitive, and
most customers can get their scanner programmed as
they like without even looking in the manual.
In addition to programming, the software may be used
for:
•Monitoring
•Datalogging using your PC
•Generating and saving programming files for
later use
Once your DPM-100 is programmed the way you want it,
you can wire it up for your application per the instructions
in this manual and install it. If you find that you need to
make adjustments to the programming after the scanner is
installed, you can use the front panel buttons and the
instructions in this manual to do so.

Introduction
The DPM-100 Modbus®Display is a multi-purpose,
easy-to-use digital scanner that can be programmed
as a Modbus RTU Master, Slave, or Snooper. They
are capable of scanning up to 16 variables generated
by any Modbus device, which makes it ideal for tank
level monitoring and control. Their superluminous
SunBright display makes them easily readable in
smoke, dust, fog, and even direct sunlight. The DPM-
100 displays in decimal format.
As a master, the DPM-100 reads up to 16 slave
devices, scales the data from each, displays the
result, and operates the internal relays and 4-20 mA
output. It displays all the enabled PVs in sequence, at
a user programmable scan rate. As a snooper, the
DPM-100 listens to the Modbus traffic and picks up a
specific register or registers being polled by a master
device from a specific slave device and processes the
data being read. As a slave, it is controlled by a
master device. The data sent to it by the master is
scaled, displayed, and used to operate the relays and
4-20 mA output.
The DPM-100 Modbus scanner is housed in an
1/8 DIN panel enclosure that features a NEMA 4X
front panel. Data is displayed on an adjustable
intensity, dual-line, six-digit display. Display line 1 is a
0.6 inch, seven-segment LED display, while display
line 2 has a digit height of 0.46 inches. The Modbus
scanner can be powered from 85-265 VAC or
12-36 VDC. It is available with up to 4 internal relays
and 4 external relays, up to 8 digital inputs/outputs, as
well as a dual 4-20 mA output expansion module.
Various math functions may be applied to the Modbus
input including addition, difference, absolute
difference, average, weighted average, multiplication,
division, minimum, maximum, draw, ratio, and
concentration. This is in addition to the signal input
conditioning functions (linear, square root,
programmable exponent, or round horizontal tank
calculations). The displays, relays, and the analog
outputs may be assigned to PVs or to math channels
C1, C2, C3, or C4. The digital inputs/outputs can be
custom-programmed for specific operations. A digital
input (F4) is standard.
Free ScanView software allows a DPM-100 Modbus
Scanner to be accessed with a computer. Configure
multiple scanners, conveniently monitor critical
information, and Datalog right from a PC with ease,
further increasing plant efficiency.

Specifications
Except where noted all specifications apply to
operation at +25°C.
Operating Modes
Master
Processes data read from Modbus RTU
slave devices. It polls up to 16 process
variables from 1 to 16 slave devices. The
Master is capable of scanning the selected
PVs, scaling the data, triggering relays,
performing math operations, and driving
the analog outputs.
Snooper
Listens to the Modbus traffic and picks up
a specific register or registers being polled
by a master device from a specific slave
device and processes the data being read.
The Snooper mode handles the data the
same way as the Master.
Slave
Processes data sent to it from a Modbus
RTU master device.
Note: The relays and the 4-20 mA outputs are functional in
all modes.
Master & Snooper Settings
PV Number
PV1–PV16 Enable or disable the process
variables to be polled by the Master.

ScanView Software
The easiest and quickest way to program your
DPM-100 display is to use the FREE ScanView
programming software. This software is loaded into
the scanner and connects and installs directly to your
PC with the USB cable provided. DO NOT use a
different USB cable. We recommend that the first
thing you do after taking the scanner out of the box is
connect the DPM-100 to your PC with the provided
USB cable. DO NOT apply AC or DC power to the
scanner while your PC is connected to the scanner as
it will disrupt the USB connection. It is not necessary
to apply an input signal.
ScanView programming software is intuitive, and
most customers can get their scanner programmed as
they like without even looking in the manual.
ScanView Installation
1. Connect one end of the provided USB cable to
the scanner and the other end to the computer.
The computer will automatically install the driver
software it needs to talk to the scanner. Follow
the on-screen instructions and allow sufficient
time for the process to complete. This can take a
few minutes. If the process is interrupted, then it
could leave the system in an unstable condition.
•Only one scanner may be connected at a time.
Attaching multiple scanners will cause a conflict
with the scanner software.
•DO NOT apply AC or DC power to the scanner
when using the Micro USB connection.
2. Once the driver is installed, an AutoPlay
dialog should appear for the drive
“MAINSTAL.” Click “Open folder to view
files.”
If the computer does not display an AutoPlay
dialog for the drive “MAINSTAL,” you should
open My Computer and double-click on the
drive labeled “MAINSTAL.”
3. Double-click on the file named “MSStart.”
The program will open a few windows and
install two programs on your computer.
Simply follow the on-screen instructions until
you see one of the dialogs below. If you
receive a “User Account Control” warning,
click “Yes.”
4. If there is an update available, click the
“Update” button to install the new version.
Otherwise, click “Configure” to begin
programming your scanner.
Note: If you decide to update your ScanView
software, once the installation has completed, you
will be asked if you want to update the setup files
located on the scanner itself. This way, you will
always have the most current version on the
scanner for future installs.
•DO NOT unplug the scanner while the new
installation files are being written to it. The
scanner will display uwrite during the process
and you will receive an on-screen notification
once the process is complete.
•Do not disconnect and reconnect the scanner
rapidly. Allow at least 10 seconds from
disconnection before reconnecting USB to the
scanner.
Monitoring and data logging for one scanner (Master
mode) is available with ScanView software. All the
enabled PVs and math channels may be logged to a
single .csv file. The ScanView software
synchronizes with the scanner in master mode one
second after the scanner has completed a polling
cycle.
Note: The poll time of the scanner must be greater
than 5 seconds to prevent collisions on the bus.

Relay Connections
Relay connections are made to two six-terminal
connectors labeled RELAY1 – RELAY4 on the back
of the scanner. Each relay’s C terminal is common
only to the normally open (NO) and normally closed
(NC) contacts of the corresponding relay. The relays’
C terminals should not be confused with the COM
(common) terminal of the INPUT SIGNAL connector.
Figure 15. Relay Connections
Switching Inductive Loads
The use of snubbers to suppress electrical noise is
strongly recommended when switching inductive
loads to prevent disrupting the microprocessor’s
operation. The snubbers also prolong the life of the
relay contacts. Suppression can be obtained with
resistor-capacitor (RC) networks assembled by the
user or purchased as complete assemblies. Refer to
the following circuits for RC network assembly and
installation:
Figure 16. AC and DC Loads Protection
Choose R and C as follows:
R: 0.5 to 1 Ωfor each volt across the contacts
C: 0.5 to 1 µF for each amp through closed contacts
Notes:
1. Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC.
2. RC networks may affect load release time of
solenoid loads. Check to confirm proper
operation.
3. Install the RC network at the scanner's relay
screw terminals. An RC network may also be
installed across the load. Experiment for best
results.
Use a diode with a reverse breakdown voltage two to three
times the circuit voltage and forward current at least as large
as the load current.
Figure 17. Low Voltage DC Loads Protection
RC Networks (Snubbers) Available
from BinMaster
RC networks are available from BinMaster and should
be applied to each relay contact switching an
inductive load. Part number: PDX6901.
Note: Relays are de-rated to 1/14 HP (50 watts) with
an inductive load.
4-20 mA Output Connections
Connections for the 4-20 mA transmitter output are
made to the connector terminals labeled mA OUT.
The 4-20 mA output may be powered internally or
from an external power supply.

External Relay, Analog Output, &
Digital I/O Connections
The relay, dual analog output, and digital I/O
expansion modules PDA1004, PDA1011, and
PDA1044 are connected to the scanner using a CAT5
cable provided with each module. The two RJ45
connectors on the expansion modules are identical
and interchangeable; they are used to connect
additional modules to the system.
Note: The jumper located between the RJ45
connectors of the PDA1044 must be removed
on the second digital I/O module in order for
the system to recognize it as module #2.
•DO NOT connect or disconnect the expansion
modules with the power on! More detailed
instructions are provided with each optional
expansion module.
Interlock Relay Feature
As the name implies, the interlock relay feature
reassigns one, or more, alarm/control relays for use
as interlock relay(s). Interlock contact(s) are wired to
digital input(s) and trigger the interlock relay. This
feature is enabled by configuring the relay, and the
corresponding digital input(s). See Setting Up the
Interlock Relay (Force On) Feature on page 45.
In the example below, an Interlock Contact switch is
connected to a digital input, which will be used to
force on (energize) the Interlock Relay. The Interlock
Relay and the Control Relay are connected in series
with the load.
• When the Interlock Contact is closed (safe), the
Interlock Relay energizes, allowing power to flow
to the Control Relay; the corresponding front
panel LED is on.
• When the Interlock Contact is open, the
corresponding front panel LED flashes (locked
out), the Interlock Relay is de-energized,
preventing power from flowing to the Control
Relay and the load.
