1 Quick start
The help for the PME Assistant consists of three
parts:
•The general PME Assistant Online Help.
•The help for the devices MP01, MP30, MP55, MP60
and MP70 of the PME family.
•This document on the MP85A.
1.1 The MP85A measuring system
The MP85A measuring system comprises the PME Assis-
tant program and the PME MP85A or MP85A DP hard-
ware. The MP85A DP is provided with a PROFIBUS inter-
face in addition to the CAN bus and Ethernet interface.
The mode of operation is however the same. The device
parameters must be set either via the CAN bus or the
Ethernet interface for both systems. If you have an older
MP85, please use the PME Assistant provided for this
device (up to Version 2.2).
The MP85A can be used for two different monitoring oper-
ations:
1. Monitoring a process with verification of a certain pro-
cess curve using tolerance windows.
The measured values are checked at different points
by the MP85A to see whether the sequence lies within
a certain range (tolerance window).
2. Monitoring a process for adherence to a tolerance
band or envelope curve.

Quick start

Starting with firmware version 2.22 the limit value results
can be included into the OK/NOK evaluation with all mon-
itoring methods.
There is also Version MP85A-S for switch and haptic test
with tolerance windows. However tolerance band moni-
toring is not possible with these devices.
You can find more information about MP85A, e.g. mea-
surement sequence, the data reduction function or the
relation between the filters used and sample rate, in sec-
tion FAQ: MP85A and PME Assistant.
1.2 What needs to be done?
The following steps must be performed in order to prepare
the MP85A measuring system for a measurement. The
steps can be divided into two sections.
1. Setting up the hardware: connect transducer (sensor),
set up bus system or interface, connect power supply
etc.
This part of the setup is described in detail in
the MP85A Operating Manual. This online
Help comprises only a summary.
2. Setting up the device via PME Assistant software.
Set up the device using this software and a PC which
is connected to the MP85A via CAN bus or Ethernet
interface as described in this Help.
Procedure
1. Start the PME Assistant, see also PME Assistant
