Application area
DS 500 Side 6 of 66
2 Application area
Our long-term hands-on experience in measurement and control technology was implemented in the
new DS 500.
From recording of the measured data, automatic sensor identification, indication on a big colour
screen, alerting, storage up to remote read-out via web server, all that is possible with DS 500. By
means of the CS-Soft, software alarms can be sent via SMS or e-mail.
On the big 7' colour screen with touch panel all information is available at a glance.
The operation is very easy. All measured values, measured curves and threshold exceedings are
indicated. The progression of the curve, since the beginning of the measurement, can be viewed by
an easy slide of the finger.
Daily, weekly and monthly reports, with costs in € and counter reading in m
3
, for each consumption
sensor are completing the sophisticated system concept.
The huge difference to ordinary paperless chart recorders reveals in the easy initiation as well as in
the evaluation of the measured data. All sensors are identified directly and powered by DS 500.
Everything is matched and tuned.
Versatile:
Up to 12 sensors, incl. all CS sensors
(consumption, dewpoint, pressure, current,
KTY, PT 100, PT 1000) are identified auto-
matically by DS 500. Optional analogue
sensors (0/4 - 20 mA, 0 - 1/10/30 V, pulse)
can be configured easily and quickly.
Digital sensors can be connected via
RS 485, Modbus RTU and SDI.
Flexible:
Network-compatible and
worldwide remote data
transmission via
Ethernet, integrated
web server.
Alarm relay / fault
indication:
Up to 32 threshold
values can be
configured freely and
allocated to 4 different
alarm relay. Collective
alarms are possible.

By/With consumption sensors and dewpoint sensors from CS Instruments there is the possibility to
provide values as analogue current signal 4 – 20 mA for further working process.
The measurement/reading of the current signal for an external PLC/ZLT or external third-party display
is explained in the connection diagrams.
The following connection diagrams in Chapter 9 apply to XA.1 to XC.4!

FA 415
The digital data transmission between DS 500 and the dewpoint sensors
FA 415 and FA 300 occur via the SDI bus line.
It´s possible to connect the FA 300/FA 425 alternatively as 4 – 20 mA
analogue sensor in 2-wire technology.
See chapter 9.3 analogue 4 - 20 mA sensors using the 2-wire technology.
To route the current signal of 4 - 20 mA to an external display, PLC, ZLT,

Important:
The IP addresses of PC and DS 500 must be statically assigned (DHCP off) and have to be
in the same network.
If the IP-address of the DS 500 has changed, you have to reboot!
Remark:
IP-address of the DS 500: See chapter, 12.2.4.3 Network settings
Reboot the DS 500: See chapter, 12.2.4.7 Factory Reset
The DS 500 can be connected with the PC by a crossover cable, which has a RJ45 plug on each side,
or an Ethernet cable with a crossover adapter.
Crossover cable with RJ45-plug
After connecting the DS 500 via a suitable cable to the PC, you can make graphical and tabular data
evaluations with the CS Soft Basic software.
