INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing M-System’s PC Recorder. This instruction manual describes functions of PC Recorder for
the 53U Multi Power Monitor, its PC requirements, input module, and how to operate the MSR128LUS and
MSR128LUV (hereunder referred to as ‘MSR128LU’) software programs.
The MSR128LU is aWindows-PC-based software program dedicated to be used with the 53U Multi Power Monitor,
to monitor and record its measured data. To program the 53U’s configurations, you need to access its program via
the front keys, or to use the dedicated PC configuration software, model 53UCFG. Other hardware modules cannot
be used with the MSR128LU.
The data used for the recorder is saved in CSV format allowing easy export to other Windows programs (e.g.
Microsoft Excel).
In order to ensure maximum performance of the PC Recorder, we recommend that you carefully examine the envi-
ronments of the PC and other connected devices. Please remember that the overall reliability of the MSR128LU as
a recording device depends upon that of the PC including its OS.

MSR128LUS/MSR128LUV USERS MANUAL EM-7375 Rev.2
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
1.1 PRECAUTIONS TO USE THE MSR128LU ON YOUR PC
1. The MSR128LU is designed as package application, usable on PC running Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Consider the fact that the MSR128LU constantly reads input signal and plots entire chart screen at its fastest
storing cycle of 0.5 sec. when you choose the CPU and graphic capabilities of PC.
2. DO NOT use another application program while the MSR128LU is running.
3. Remember that the overall reliability of the MSR128LU as a recording device depends upon that of the PC
including its OS.
4. The MSR128LU is designed to use in a single window on a single PC, not for use in multiple windows or to be
shared on LAN.
5. Disable the power saving mode: Select on the PC’s desktop ‘Properties – Screen Saver – Power – Power
Schemes’and set‘Never’to all items. With laptops, disable any key operations to initiate an automatic shutdown
other than the power switch. Disable also the system stand-by mode or any other power saving features.
6. Disable animating screen savers in order to avoid extra load to the PC when running the MSR128LU.
7. It is recommended not to copy more than necessary shortcuts or exe. files on the desktop. We recommend to
delete exe. files related to web site contents in order to avoid any disturbance in plotting.
8. Storing cycles of 500 msec. or slower are usable. High speed mode (50 msec. storing cycle) is unavailable.
9. Use an independent LAN for the MSR128LU. Sharing the network with other systems may cause an instability
or interference on both systems.
10.If you intend to use the PC Recorder in the following environments or conditions, redundant and/or failsafe
system designs should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.
–Environments or conditions which are not defined in this manual
–Nuclear power control devices, railway control devices, aircraft control devices, transportation vehicles, fuel
control equipment, medical equipment, recreational equipment, safety equipment, and other critical equip-
ment for which safety must be secured according to relevant laws.
–Those devices which inherently require extremely high level of safety and reliability.

1.2 FEATURES OF THE MSR128LU
On the Record view, the MSR128LU reads and plots input signals on the screen, and saves data as record files.
Additionally, it compares the signals with the preset alarm conditions and accordingly outputs a contact signal to the
predetermined output point. Pen configurations including alarm setting can be modified on this view.
On the Retrieve view, the MSR128LU searches and shows historical recorded data files. The MSR128LU continues
sampling even while the main recording window is inactive.
The data files are saved in CSV format, which can be directly exported to general-purpose spreadsheet programs
such as Microsoft EXCEL. They can be stored also in removable storage media for later use, for example, using the
Retrieve view or Microsoft Excel program on another PC.
In addition to the functions of conventional recorders, those of data logging is incorporated all-in-one into the
MSR128LU, thanks to extensive, analytical, communicative and administrative capabilities of a PC.
It can be called as “chartless” recorder.
Figure 1.2 shows a map of various options available on the menu bar and control panel in the MSR128LU program.

DEVICE TYPE PARAMETER ANALOG TYPE ID RANGE (UNIT)
53(54)U Current I 0 to 2e9 (mA)
Voltage U 0.00 to 2.00e7 (V)
Active power P -2e9 to 2e9 (W)
Reactive power Q -2e9 to 2e9 (var)
Apparent power S 0 2e9 (VA)
Power factor PF -1.00 to 1.00
Frequency F 0.00 to 70.00 (Hz)
Phase direction DIR 0 or 1
Active energy EP 0 to 1.0e8 (kWh)
Reactive energy EQ 0 to 1.0e8 (kvarh)

Energy count time TIMER 0 to 1.0e8 (hours)
Harmonic distortion THD 0 to 999.9 (%)
HD 0 to 999.9 (%)
Table 4.3.2: Analog input type selections and ranges.
Input Range
The upper and lower range values referred to as 0% (left field) and 100% (right field) according to the selected input
type are automatically displayed.
Engineering range
Specify the range in actual engineering unit. This range is used for display, alarm and plotting.
When the engineering range is equal to the input range, measured input values are directly used. Measured data is
converted and recorded in the unit specific to each parameter.
Example: Address 41 (Delta voltage, Line 1 – 2)
Modbus data = 40000
Unit = V/100 (0.01V)
Recorded data = 400.00 (when ‘Decimal Point’ is set to ‘2’)

18
MSR128LUS/MSR128LUV USERS MANUAL EM-7375 Rev.2
You may want to set a different value for the engineering range to convert the engineering unit (e.g.from mA to A).
Example: Address 1 (Current)
Modbus data (input range) = 2e9
Engineering range = 0 to 2e9 ––> Recorded data = 2e9 mA
Engineering range = 2 to 2e6 ––> Recorded data = 2e6 A
Plot Range
These values are usually the same as Engineering Range values. Set a narrower range in this field when you want
to enlarge a particular section of the full-scale of the Engineering Range.
For example, if you have a voltage input: This is the most common setting. Eng. Range and Plot Posi-
tion values are the same. Scales are -10V at the left edge,
10V at the right edge of the chart.
This is used when you want to enlarge a particular section of
the Eng.Range. The chart is used only for a narrower range of
5V,between0Vatthe leftedge and5Vatthe rightedge,against
the full-scale range of 20V.
Alarm Setpoint
Specify Lower and Upper setpoints in engineering unit within the Engineering Range. The alarm trips when the
signal goes above the upper setpoint and below the lower setpoint. The alarm function is not available in High
Speed mode. If an alarm setpoint is changed during operation, the alarm functions in the new setting the moment
the new setting is applied.
Alarm Deadband
Alarms are reset when the signal goes out of the alarm zone by the deadband values specified for each alarm
setpoint.
Alarm Output
Mark ‘X’ to when you want to output the alarm trip at the 53U’s Do terminal. Specify also the node number of the
device and the channel number ‘1.’
Caution !
The 53U module’s local alarm setting has a priority over that on the MSR128LU. Setpoints, deadbands and alarm
output setting will be ignored if they are specified at the 53U module.
In order to output alarms from the MSR128LU at the 53U’s Do terminal, the discrete I/O setting for the 53U must be
set to ‘Undefined.’ Please refer to the 53U operation manual for more information.
Output contact logic (N.O. or N.C.) depends upon the 53U setting.
Normal & Alarm Colors
Colors specified for normal and alarm conditions are used for the alarm indicators in the digital display area on the
Record view.
Use the color palette.
Note: Alarm setting for Power Factor
When a limit value is set for the power factor signal, it is automatically mirrored for both LEAD and LAG spheres. For
example, setting lower limit value 0.8 means that the same value is applied to both LEAD and LAG spheres.
You cannot set different limit values for LEAD and LAG spheres. Choose between -1.0 and 1.0. A value out of this
range will be rounded either to -1.0 or 1.0.
Decimal Point
Specify the decimal point position of the data displayed on the digital indicator. This setting is also valid to stored
data. However, if more decimal places are set to greater values than those the original Modbus data have, these
missing decimal places will be simply filled with zeros. Please confirm the effective number of digits and decimal
point position in the unit when you choose this value.
UNIT LOWER LIMIT UPPER LIMIT
Scaled Range V -10 10
Plotted Range V -10 10

4.3.3 DETAIL INFORMATION (DISCRETE)
When ‘Discrete’ is selected in Common Information setting, the following details are selectable. Operation Function
is not available with discrete inputs.
Figure 4.3.3: Detail information (discrete).
Alarm Description
Short description for ON (1) and OFF (0) status can be specified. Max.10 characters. DO NOT use characters used
to separate cells in CSV format (period, comma, space, tab, etc.).
Alarm Output
Mark ‘X’ to when you want to output the alarm trip at the 53U’s Do terminal.
Caution !
The 53U module’s local alarm setting has a priority over that on the MSR128LU. Setpoints, deadbands and alarm
output setting will be ignored if they are specified at the 53U module.
In order to output alarms from the MSR128LU at the 53U’s Do terminal, the discrete I/O setting for the 53U must be
set to ‘Undefined.’ Please refer to the 53U operation manual for more information.
Output contact logic (N.O. or N.C.) depends upon the 53U setting.
Alarm Delay
Once the discrete signal status is changed, the alarm is tripped only after the predefined time has elapsed in order
to avoid unwanted trips caused by noise interference. Enter the time in seconds.
Alarm Node & Channel
Specify the node number of the device and the channel number ‘1.’
Normal & Alarm Colors
Colors specified for normal and alarm conditions are used for the alarm indicators in the digital display area on the
Record view.
Use the color palette.

4.4 STORE SETTING
Figure 4.4 shows Store Setting dialog box. These selections are changeable when the Record view is stopped. You
can view the current setting when the MSR128LU is running.
Figure 4.4: Store setting.
Four storing modes are available:
• Normal: The MSR128LU stores data continuously in the preset storing cycle.
• Remote Trigger: The MSR128LU stores data only during the predetermined condition is true (the remote
trigger contact signal is either ON or OFF).
• Event Recording: The MSR128LU detects an external event by trigger signal, and stores preset number of
samples before and after the moment of event.
• Auto: The MSR128LU starts recording at a specific time for a specific time duration.
4.4.1 STORING CYCLE
Figure 4.4.1: Storing cycle.
0.5-sec., 1-sec., 2-sec., 5-sec., 10-sec., or 1-minute intervals are available.
Selecting 5-sec. interval diminishes data size to the one-tenth, compared from 0.5-sec. interval, 10-sec. interval to
the one-twentieth. (The actual file size does not diminish as much.)
Caution !
Storing cycle means the time rate in which data is stored on the PC Recorder. Sampling cycle means the time rate
in which data is scanned and taken from an input device. The latter depends on the number of devices and chan-
nels. When there are more number of input devices/channels than the specified storing cycle can handle, the PC
Recorder may not be able to store data accurately. For more information, contact M-System.
4.4.2 NORMAL MODE
In this mode, a recording is turned on or off by operating START/STOP button on the Control Panel.
