Overview
The optional graphic display is intended for on-site visualization of measurement data, lists and
alarms of the SINEAX CAM. The operation of the display is performed by means of the keys.
Using the keys the user may acknowledge alarms or extreme values as well. Which data can be
displayed depends on the version of the device, especially which I/O modules are present and
which options are activated. Also the configuration of the measurement unit influences the data
display. The most influencing factor in this context is the connected system.
The parametrization of the graphic display and the assembly of user specific measurement
displays are done using the CB-Manager Software. But settings like contrast or display language
may also be performed by means of the operating keys.

1. Display structure and operation
Generally
When first switching on the device the main
menu is displayed. On every further start-up the
last displayed image before the power-down is
shown. There may be exceptions after a
reconfiguration of the device via interface, if the
displayed information is no longer available.
When changing the display window
there may be a waiting time, which is
symbolized by displaying a sand
glass. This way it can be prevented
that out-of-date data is displayed.

Operating menu
(possible functions)
The operation of the display is performed using
the keys. The symbols displayed in the
operating menu correspond to the symbols on
the keys. The assigned function is stated
behind the colon.

2. Settings
select a parameter group
Invoke the line settings in the main menu. This
line will be visible only if the selection is shifted
downwards. In the menu settings go to the line
with the desired parameter group using the
keys Sand T. Then invoke the corresponding
parameter page by pressing the key .
2.1 Settings of the display
parameter selection
Position to the parameter which should be
modified using the keys Sand T. Press to
see the value start flashing. Subsequent the
possible functions of the operating menu
change.
modifying parameters
The parameter can now be adjusted to the
desired value using the keys Sand T. After
pressing the key again the value will be
adopted and stops flashing. The operating
menu changes back. Repeat the procedure for
other parameters.
display 2
Preference display and rotation are features of
the customer specific measurement displays
(see page 8). Auto scaling adjusts the repre-
sentation to the measurement value. This way
and if input signals are low more digits are
shown, but maybe are not significant.
2.2 Settings of the interface
adjust Modbus parameters
Following the procedure used in 2.1 modify the
parameters device address and the baud rate
to your needs.
Attention: All devices connected to the Modbus
must have the same baud rate.

2.3 Settings of the clock
The SINEAX CAM has an internal clock, which
is used as a time reference for alarms, events,
progression of measurements and so on. Due
to the daylight saving time used in many
regions the time must to be set forward once a
year and backward once a year as well.
Especially when setting back the time
information gets lost, because data for this time
is acquired twice but can be stored only once.
To handle this problem the SINEAX CAM uses
internally UTC time only (see below). The user
can set a time offset, which performs a static
time shift to the local time. This way time
references shown on the display are correct. In
countries where a change to daylight saving
time is performed, the offset of normally one
hour has to be adjusted at the beginning and at
the end of the daylight saving time.
A T T E N T I O N !
A modification of the UTC time has a serious
impact on logger and lists. If e.g. the time is
shifted into the past, no entry can be made into
the logger or lists until the UTC time is at least
equal to the one used for the last entry. Only
this way the consistency of the already
recorded data can be guaranteed. The only
alternative is the complete reset of all logger
and list data. Therefore the following warning is
displayed before the clock data:
However, a modification of the local time
offset is harmless.
changing of parameters
There is no need for a special modification
mode. The flashing value can be modified
directly using the keys Sand T. To go on to
the next parameter use X. The take over of the
data is not performed before the return to the
menu settings.
UTC (Universal Time Coordinated)
Sometimes UTC is called world time as well. The
reference corresponds to the Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). The time zones of the world
nowadays are all referenced with an offset to
UTC. UTC time doesn't use time shifts, which
may occur due to a change to daylight saving
time.
Example: In Switzerland the CET (Central
European Time) is valid, which has an offset of
+1[h] to UTC. But during have of the year the CEST
(Central European Summer Time) is used, which
has an offset of +2[h] to the UTC time used in the
SINEAX CAM.

3. Security system
The device supports a security system which
allows to selectively assign rights to different
users. Thereby rights for the changing of
measurement or configuration data or the
simulation of I/O data may be granted.
The granting of the rights is performed using
the CB-Manager software during the
configuration of the device. Along with the
administrator up to three users are
supported. To each user the administrator
assigns a user name and a password and the
individual rights. Then the system is
activated. The protection then is secured for
access via CB-Manager software as well as
via display.
For the display the following functions may be
protected using the security system:
- Reset of meters and extreme values
- Settings of display, interface and clock
To perform one of this functions a user must be
logged in and he has to own the necessary
rights. If no user is logged in or the necessary
rights are not granted the following error
message appears:
entrance via main menu
The login is not requested when trying to
perform a protected function. A user has to log
in prior via main menu. Subsequent he is able
to perform all functions enabled for him until he
logs out or the device is switched off.
Login, logout
When a user or administrator logs in the
present user is automatically logged out. Only
when log in the input of a password is required.
To perform the desired operation position to the
appropriate line using Sand Tand press the
key . The displayed process, here the logout
of the administrator, will take effect.
enter the password
For the input of the password position to the
characters and press shortly . Special
characters can be masked using and will not
be tested then. To finish the entry of the
password press the key for a longer time
(>1s).

4. Display measurements
The Measurements menu
has more entries as directly
can be displayed.
Via main menu the menu measurements may
be invoked. There the following data are
available:
Customized: Free assembled measurement
data, arranged by the user using the CB-
Manager software.
System: Instantaneous values of the system
and their extreme values with reset facility.
Harmonics: Individual harmonics, THD and
TDD of voltage and current as well as their
maximum values with reset facility.
Meters: All acquired meter contents of the
measured system and the I/O's.
I/O, relays: Measurements resp. states of the
I/O's and relays.
Mean values: Trend and last value of the
mean-values with interval time t1 / t2, with
extreme values and reset facility.
Wiring check: Measurements for checking the
correct wiring of the device.
4.1 Customer specific measurement displays
Because the user doesn't need all of the
provided measurement data, it's possible to
make an almost free assembling of up to 20
display screens using the CB-Manager
software. Existing pages of other measurement
displays may be used or free combinations of
single measurements can be made.
This way it should be possible, that the user
works only with the customized measurement
display. Other pages are then required for
special functions only. The representation of
these data is not shown here in detail, because
it's identical to other existing measurement
displays.
Preference display: If activated, one of the
customer specific pages will be displayed
automatically after a configurable time without
user interaction. This way the appearance of
the device is always similar.
Rotation: If activated, all customer specific
pages will be displayed one after the other. The
rotation interval is configurable.
Preference display and rotation may be
switched on and off via the display settings. But
these functions can not be used at the same
time.

4.2 Measurement display of system quantities
Present: Contains the instantaneous values of
the system
Minimum, maximum: Shows all acquired
minimum and maximum values with timestamp
Reset minimum, maximum: Allows to
selectively reset the acquired extreme values
Present
This predefined assembling of measurements
consists of multiple pages. The representation
can be switched from big (3 values) to small (6
values), or vice versa, using the key . To
select the next or the previous page use the
keys Sand T.
Minimum, maximum
For selected measurements acquired maximum
and, if applicable, minimum values can be
displayed with timestamp (time of occurrence).
The selection of the page to display may be
done using Sand T.
Reset min., max.
For all acquired extreme values or selectable
kinds of measurand, minimum and maximum
values may be reset by pressing for a longer
time (>1s).
Note: For measurands like the slave pointer IB it may
take several minutes until a new value is stored.
The displayable measurements depend on
the configured system (type of connection).
The displayed measurement combinations
therefore may be different according to the
application. Details for the timestamp (time of
occurrence) used here may be found in the
chapter settings of the clock.
9

4.3 Measurement display of harmonics
Present: Contains the present harmonic
contents as well as THD and TDD
Maximum: Contains the acquired maximum
values with timestamp
Reset maximum: Allows to selectively reset
the maximum values
Present
Each page shows a graphical overview of the
present harmonic contents (U or I) and the
value for one individual harmonic. The
displayed harmonic may be changed using S
and T. Scaling may be adjusted using . To
select the next measurand use the key X.
Maximum
Each page shows a maximum THD (resp. TDD)
with timestamp, the corresponding harmonic
contents as well as the value for one individual
harmonic. The displayed harmonic may be
changed using Sand T. Scaling may be
adjusted using . To select the next
measurand use the key X.
Reset maximum
Maximum values of THD (voltage) resp. TDD
(current) along with their corresponding
harmonics may be reset by pressing for a
longer time (>1s). This can be done for all
values or selectively for the harmonics of
voltage or current only.
Note: When monitoring the maximum values
of the harmonics, in fact the maximum value
of the THD resp. TDD is supervised. If a new
maximum value is detected, it is stored along
with the corresponding harmonic contents. This
way it's assured that the stored data belong
together and represent an image of the real
world.
10

4.4 Display meter contents
Meter contents are acquired for both the
measured system as well as for analog inputs.
For digital inputs it takes place only if the inputs
are configured as meter inputs.
Meters
For each meter the contents for high tariff (HT)
and for low tariff (LT) are displayed. If the tariff
switching is not active for the meters, no value
will be shown for LT. The selection of the meter
is performed via Sand T. A long pressing of
the key (>1s) resets the displayed meter
contents.
4.5 Measurements of I/O's and relays
For each channel of analog output modules the
output value and the channel text is displayed.
For each channel of digital input or output modules
the output value and the channel text is displayed.
For each channel of analog input modules the
scaled measurement and the channel text is
displayed.
For each relay output the present position of the
switching contact is shown.
For each existing I/O module one page is
shown, followed by the view of the relay states.
The selection of the display page is done using
the keys Sand T.
11

4.6 Measurement display of mean values
Mean values may be acquired with two
different interval times t1 and t2. The
corresponding measured quantities are freely
configurable. Therefore also the appropriate
measurement displays are variable. Up to 12
different pages may be displayed. The selection
is performed using the keys Sand T.
Trend, last value t1 / t2: Last calculated mean
value and the trend of this measurement
Maximum, minimum t1 / t2 : The extreme
values of the acquired mean values with
timestamp
Reset maximum, minimum: Allows to
selectively reset the extreme values
Mean values t1 / t2
For each selected measurand the last acquired
mean value as well as the trend value is shown.
Monitoring of trend values by means of limit
values makes sense especially for power
quantities.
Maximum, minimum t1 / t2
For each configured mean value quantity the
maximum and the minimum value with
timestamp (time of occurrence) is shown.
Details about the timestamp may be found in
the chapter settings of the clock.
Reset max., min.
For all acquired values or selectively only for
parts extreme values can be reset by pressing
for al longer time(>1s).
Note: Depending on the interval time t1 resp. t2
it may take hours until a new extreme value is
stored.
12

4.7 Measurements for wiring control
The wiring check shows measurements for
voltage and current of all phases and the
direction of energy flow of the currents.
If all voltages have almost similar values and
the energy flow direction of the currents is equal
it may be assumed that the wiring has been
performed correctly.
13

5. Alarms
Via the logic module of the SINEAX CAM
complex contexts may be monitored. Out of
them alarms can be generated, which are
shown on the graphic display and can be
acknowledged via the keys.
The acknowledgement resets a possibly
defined further action, e.g. the switching of a
relay output. The alarm handling is possible
even if the option lists (alarm, event, operator
list) is not implemented.
alarm reporting
The occurrence of an alarm is reported by a
blinking bell symbol in the upper left corner of
the display, no matter which display page is
active at the moment. The information which
alarm is really active can be found via the alarm
display.
alarm display
Via the menu item alarms of the main menu
one may proceed to the alarm list. There the
states of all monitored alarms are displayed, no
matter if they are active or not.
alarm states
The alarm display gives the information if a
specific monitored alarm is active or not. The
alarm number refers to the appropriate logic
function. The status shows if the alarm is active,
active acknowledged or inactive.
acknowledgement of alarms
By pressing the key for al longer time (>1s)
the displayed alarm will be acknowledged. It
changes its status to active acknowledged. If
the alarm symbol in the upper left corner
changes accordingly, then there is no further
alarm in the alarm state.
The option Lists offers the possibility to
record the occurrence, the acknowledgement
and the setting of alarms with time reference
in chronological and correct order.
If the security system has been activated, also
the user who has acknowledged an alarm will
be recorded.
14

6. Lists
The option Lists allows to perform a
chronological recording of events, alarms or
system messages. At a later time it's possible
to understand and analyse each state
change of the power system and each
intervention to the device in a correct time
sequence.
All recordings can be displayed on request, with
time stamp and dedicated text. If the security
system has been activated for specific displays
also the involved user is available. This way it's
e.g. possible to see later on which user has
acknowledged an alarm.
access to list information
Via the menu item lists in the main menu the
sub-menu lists can be entered. If no lists are
active or the option is not implemented, then
after the selection of the menu item lists no
further action is performed.
available information
For each list entries with time stamp and
explanatory text may be requested. There is no
list display if still no entries exist or if the list
hasn't been configured for use, e.g. if the
number of events to record is 0.
Alarm list / event list
The list contains all alarms / events, which
has been intended for recording in the alarm
resp. event list using the logic module. For
the entries the texts will be used which have
been defined in the logic module for the
appropriate state change.
The following will be recorded with time stamp:
 The occurrence of the event
 The determination of the event
A possible acknowledgement of alarms will be
recorded in the operator list. Events are not
subject for acknowledgement.
list entry
The time stamp shows the time of the
occurrence of the event. The user defined text
gives further information about the event. Also
given is the number of the associated logic
function. By means of the keys Sand Tit's
possible to browse the existing entries.
15

Operator list
This list contains all the events which are
caused by a user interaction or a specific
system event.
The monitored events are listed below. All texts
are predefined and can't be modified by the
user.
list entry
The time stamp shows the time of the
occurrence of the event. The predefined text
describes the event. If applicable a detail code
is also given (see below). If possible the user is
shown who has provoked the event. By means
of the keys Sand Tit's possible to browse the
existing entries.

For the evaluation by means of the software CB-
Analyzer no detail code is required, because they
are converted into plaintext messages. Thereby
single events, e.g. the modification of all parts of
the configuration of the device, are converted
into multiple events with the same time. Because
the display contrary to the PC software hasn't the
possibility to show more than one entry at a time
this conversion would have been confusing.
17

7. Logger
The optional Logger serves for long-term
recordings of measurement progressions.
The user can record variations of
instantaneous values (min/max values) or
mean values. It's also possible to make
automatic meter readings.
Via display the status of the logger can be
requested. This way it's possible to make an
assumption how long the corresponding data
recording can continue. If the endless recording
mode is used no specific state information is
available.
logger status
Via the menu item logger in the main menu the
state display of the active data loggers can be
entered. If no logger is active or the option is
not implemented, then after the selection of the
menu item logger no further action is
performed.
mean values logger (endless mode)
In this example the recording of mean values
with interval time t1 is active. The logger
records using the endless mode. Therefore no
information about the usage of the dedicated
memory is available. To change to the state
information of other logger types use Sand T.
mean values logger (one-time)
The recording of mean values with interval time
t2 is active. The logger is currently recording.
Because the memory usage is given with 0.4%
you know that the logger uses the one-time
recording mode. As soon as the usage reaches
100% recording will stop.
meters logger
In this example the automatically reading of
meter contents is active. The recording is
performed one time and stops as soon as the
dedicated memory part is used.
