1 Introduction
1.1 Updates in this document
1.2 Alterations of the version
With the device generation IV a new versioning scheme has been introduced. According to this scheme
the file name of the device firmware and the setup program (DatafoxStudioIV) is composed as follows:
product name XX. YY. ZZ. Build
device-
generation
compatibility
(which versions
can be used
together)
version number
(functional ex-
tension)
Build trou-
bleshooting
(with a new ver-
sion the Build
number is reset)
e. g. PZE-MasterIV Basic 04. 01. 01. 12
The use of the manual depends on the version of the firmware and the DatafoxStudioIV or the DFComDLL.
Gather from the following table which manual matches which version. For different combinations no sup-
port can be offered.

1.3 The device file archive (*.dfz)
1.3.1 Description
Device files (*.hex) of the MasterIV - devices are delivered in a common device file archive. It has the file
extension dfz (stands for Datafox Zip). Now simply the device file archives are indicated instead of the
device files (*.hex). This applies to the DatafoxStudioIV and DLL. The indication of device files (*.hex)
is still possible.
1.3.2 Function of the archive
The transmission routine of the device file picks out the fitting file from the device file archive on the
basis of the hardware options available in the device. Thus, it is guaranteed that all hardware components
available in the device are supported by the corresponding firmware.
1.3.3 Manual selection of a file
If you do not want to integrate the archive in your installation, you have the possibility to add single
device files from the archive to the installation.
The file format of the device file archive is Zip. Hence, you can open the archive with every standard Zip-
program. Via the menu item "open with..." in the context menu you can chose an appropriate program
Version: 04.01.07.00 Page 6www.datafox.de

Manual Datafox PZE-MasterIV Basic
for opening the file. If necessary you can call up a program combined with this file format to open the
file by renaming the file from dfz to zip.
In the archive you find a file called Inhalt.pdf; you can gather from there which file (*.hex) of the archive
matches your device. Extract the device file (*.hex) you want and rename it if necessary. A renaming of
a file is always possible, because all information are in the file itself.
You can state the device file extracted before as device file in DatafoxStudioIV and at calling the DLL
function. It is still tested if the file can be loaded into the chosen device before the transmission takes
place.

2 System structure and functional principle
2.1 Software versions and compatibility of device firmware and setup
The firmware (operating system) of the device and the setup program (*.aes data file = application pro-
gram) form a unit. With the setup program the configuration for the device (definition of the data tables
and the data fields, operation, etc.) is compiled and transmitted to the device. Then the firmware works
in accordance with the setup adjustments.
Firmware in device
After switching-on the current firmware ver-
sion is shown on the display. The firmware can
be transmitted to the device with DatafoxStudioIV.
At delivery a demo setup is at the device. The
description of the demo setup you will find in
chapter 5.3.1. It is advisable to go through the
example at first comparing the process with the
setup. That way a quick introduction to the
configuration is possible.
Setup program on PC
After starting the setup program the user interface
is displayed.
You can get information about the current soft-
ware version via the info dialog of DatafoxStudioIV.

Manual Datafox PZE-MasterIV Basic
Compatibility of firmware and DatafoxStudioIV
The DatafoxStudioIV is downward compatible within the firmware versions 4.x.xx. The second number
shows the compatibility group. If this number is changed, a more up-to-date firmware generation must
be used.
Note:

Devices with an older firmware can also be configured with DatafoxStudioIV, but
only that functions are provided by the device which are also provided by the older
firmware. However, it is impossible to configure a more up-to-date firmware version
with an older DatafoxStudioIV-Version.
That means, the manual version that corresponds to the firmware with the appropriate setup is always
relevant for the possible functions. The manual version and the appropriate DatafoxStudioIV always have
the same index. It is impossible to configure a firmware with a DatafoxStudioIV version that is older than
the firmware. Recommendation: If possible use the appropriate DatafoxStudioIV version. This version
always has to be  the version of the firmware.
The data file:

P ZE  M asterIV Basic, Sof twareV ersionen Stand xxx.pdf  shows which functions are pro-
vided by which software release. You will find the file on the CD. Please alsocomply with
the instructions given in the chapters of the manual.
The updates are available for download on our internet page www.datafox.de.
Caution:
When the new device is delivered always the firmware version recently released is
used. If you wish to work with an older version please carry out a downgrade.
Please comply with the instructions in chapter 2.2.2.
Version: 04.01.07.00 Page 11 www.datafox.de

Manual Datafox PZE-MasterIV Basic
2.2 Firmware
Caution:
A firmware update or downgrade is a very sensitive process. Possibly a reset of
the main communication to RS232 may occur. In any case comply with the details
about the compatibility in the software version list.
2.2.1 Firmware update
Caution:
Before starting a firmware update please check on the basis of the software version
list whether there are any version dependencies that must be kept.
For example, when changing from version 04.00.xx to version 04.01.xx there must be a version 04.00.23.769
or higher as minimum requirement to carry out the update to version 04.01.xx successfully.
2.2.2 Firmware downgrade
Caution:
When carrying out a firmware downgrade the firmware always has to be transmitted
to the device twice. This has technical reasons. Errors on the display of the device
after the first transmission can be ignored.

Manual Datafox PZE-MasterIV Basic
2.3 System structure
2.3.1 Device functions
In principle, Datafox PZE-MasterIV Basic offers two possibilities to create workflows for
data collection.

Via the PC-setup program "‘DatafoxStudioIV"’ many processes for data collection can be created
quickly without programing knowledge. Such a process is a setup for the device and can be loaded
on the device via the communication program. Devices using such setup programs are equipped
with the standard firmware at production. (Details about the software versions see chapter 2.1)

Free Programming in C. The progression packet offers many basis routines and a supporting program
which can be used as basis for own programs. Devices for c-programming are delivered without the
standard firmware and only in connection with an instruction.
2.3.2 Communication
There are 4 possibilities available for communication/ data transmission.
1.) Setup- and communication program
The setup- and communication program supports both the setting of the device settings and the
important possibilities of data transmission (these data transmission functions are for test purposes
primarily). Of course they can also be used for regular data transmission. But this is disadvanta-
geous, because 2 work steps are necessary: At first you have to read out the data via the setup- and
communication program and to file them as ASCII-file. Then the second program has to be opened
and the file must be imported.
Figure 1: Setup- and Communication programm
Version: 04.01.07.00 Page 13 www.datafox.de

Manual Datafox PZE-MasterIV Basic
2.) Communication DLL
The direct way for communicating with the ... is the communication DLL. It can be started with
any Windows application. The whole process can be realized without any intermediate files and
also be set individually. We advise software producers to choose this method for the integration of
the devices. You can find the DLL and the appropriate explanation on the installing-CD.
Figure 2: Communication-DLL
3.) Direct integration via C-Source code
There are some operating systems that do not support the use of DLLs. In order to solve this
problem there is also a C-Source code available on the installing-CD. That way communicating with
programs designed under Unix or Linux is also possible.
Figure 3: Implementation via C-Sourcecode
4.) Datafox-Talk
Via Datafox-Talk data transmission with Datafox AEIII+, Timeboy and the MasterIV-series is
possible on file- and database layer. Therefore it is an alternative to communication via DLL. An
advantage of this method is, that no installation is necessary. The data are taken over and displayed
as ASCII-file. If desired and with computation a direct connection to databases is possible. There
the costumer has to decide which database tables and fields shall be filled. Datafox-Talk supports
all functions for transmitting data and for setting the device. Via timing the times for transmission
can be set freely. Via additional modules the data can also be transmitted per radio, internet,
telephone-/ mobile network.
Advantages:
Version: 04.01.07.00 Page 14 www.datafox.de

Manual Datafox PZE-MasterIV Basic

Via Datafox-Talk integration of the devices can be realized easily and fast.

Transmission takes place automatically and is ensured via a log file.

The data are accessible forthwith.

There is no programming work for data transmission.
Figure 4: Datafox-Talk
Supports the following types of transmis-
sion:

RS232

RS485

TCP/IP

WLAN

Funk 433 MHz

Modem (GSM/GPRS)

Cellular radio, mobile phone with inte-
grated modem
The following actions are possible:

Transmitting setup to the devices

Setting a clock

Transmitting lists to the devices

Reading out of data

Writing log files and error lists where nec-
essary

Filing of data as ASCII-file, Excel-file,
Dbase-File or ACCESS-database
The actions are applied as batch and carried out according to the settings of the timing. Timing allows
the permanent collection of data (polling) and the collection at any time. The setting via time model is
very easy. The working through the actions is logged and therefore always traceable. The same applies
to the transmission of lists. Lists are used e.g. to back-up applications, accounts, occupations etc. or to
transmit balances.

3 PZE-MasterIV Basic
The PZE-MasterIV Basic can generally also be used outdoors. But then you have to comply with the
temperature range of -20 to + 70  C from the data sheet. If the device is installed outdoors, suitable
measures have to be taken to protect the plug of the device against humidity. Therefore, IP64 can only
be granted if the device is mounted and its backside is completely covered and damp proofed.
It has to be taken care of a suitable protection from direct sunlight because the synthetic materials are
not 100% UV resistant. Fading simply is an optical defect which does not restrict the function of the
device.
Caution:
Pleas keep in mind that MasterIV terminals use a flash memory. According to
the manufacturer each memory sector (512 byte) can be written to a maximum of
100,000 times. The firmware of the terminals distributes the access to the memory
sectors, this technique is called wear levelling. Bad blocks in case of write or read
failures are not used anymore. However, despite this technique it is not advisable
to write the memory too frequently. The application should initialize a new list
transfer only after a change of the list data but not cyclically.
Keep in mind the message - FlashService - in the display of the device. It
means that the live time of the flash memory according to the manufacturer
instruction will be reached soon. Then the device has to be sent to Datafox for
service.

3.2 Connection
The plug which is only accessible from behind is at the lower third of the double shell casing. In this
way the plugs are completely covered when the device is mounted. Thus, the manipulability is greatly
restricted. The power supply unit is at the same package dimension. You can find a drilling template
that helps mounting the device in the appendix of the manual.

3.2.1 Power supply
The PZE-MasterIV Basic is energized (24 V 300 mA power supply unit) by the Molex connector (1) in
figure 6.
Caution:
In principle, only one voltage source may be connected to the PZE-MasterIV Basic.
Use a 24 V/ 300 mA AC/DC power supply unit for this.
3.2.2 Ethernet interface
Caution:
Power over Ethernet (PoE) describes a process with which network-compatible de-
vices can be energised via the 8-core Ethernet-wire. The internal TCP/IP module
of the PZE-MasterIV Basic is not PoE tolerant.
The device can be integrated into a network of companies via TCP/IP via the RJ45 plug (3) in figure 6.
