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
10 a3387-1.1 en HBM: public MP85A
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
Online Help: Start options.

Quick start
MP85A a3387-1.1 en HBM: public 11
2. Connect to the MP85A, see How do I connect the
PME Assistant to the MP85A?.
3. Define the MP85A system settings: Select the lan-
guage, set the synchronization if using more than one
device and, if required, set the passcode.
4. Setup of the measuring chain (MP85A and trans-
ducer).
5. Determine and enter the start and evaluation criteria
for the process: depending on the evaluation mode
either for Tolerance windows or Tolerance band.
See also EASYteach for envelope curves.
6. Specify the necessary outputs (process results).
7. Save all parameters.
The structure of the MP85A settings tree in the left-hand
side of the program window corresponds to the sequence
in which you should carry out the settings.
If these steps have already been performed, the data can
be loaded from a file into the device, see SAVE/LOAD
PARAMETERS.
See also The MP85A measuring system
1.3 Setting up the hardware
This section is described in detail in the MP85A Operating
Manual. To summarize:
•Connect the transducers.
•Connect the power supply.

Quick start
12 a3387-1.1 en HBM: public MP85A
•Connect the bus system and set parameters
(addresses and transmission speed, etc.) if neces-
sary. Because some of these settings are important
for the program function, you will also find the most
important settings described in Configuring the
MP85A interface(s).
•Check the (hardware) synchronization if several
devices are involved.
•Install the software on the PC, see also PME Assis-
tant Online Help: Operating requirements and PME
Assistant Online Help: Installation of software PME
Assistant.
The first channel is always displayed as the x channel
(horizontal axis) and the second as the y channel (vertical
axis) in the graphs. Please connect the transducers suit-
ably so that a correct display of y(x) is achieved.
1.4 Firmware update
You update the firmware using the program PME-Update.
With the program a new firmware version can also be
transferred to several devices simultaneously.
With the MP85A process controller, in order to avoid inter-
fering with the running of a process (no measurement or
evaluation is carried out during an update), from firmware
version 2.22 you can specify that the firmware is updated
only after manual confirmation on the device (F-update:
allowed!). If confirmation does not occur within 15 min-
utes, then no change to the firmware is made.
Refer also to General settings (basic settings).

Quick start
MP85A a3387-1.1 en HBM: public 13
The device settings are also retained when updating the
firmware. However, we recommend a backup is carried
out before the update; refer to Store settings and system
parameters saved on the PC (backup).

2 SYSTEM settings
2.1 General settings
For passcodes see the separate section Using the pass-
code.
The general settings are identical for all parameter sets.
Some details in the SYSTEM General settings section
are for information only, e.g. hardware revision or device
serial number. Besides that, you can carry out the fol-
lowing settings:
Language
Next to Sprache (or Language or Langue), if English is
not set, select the desired language. Normally, the lan-
guage version of the PME Assistant determines the lan-
guage of the MP85A, i.e. when you start the German ver-
sion of the Assistant, all menus and texts are also in
German.
After choosing a different language, all the windows are
refreshed and formed anew. The language of the main
menu (at the top in the window) as well as of the mes-
sages output by the program are however dependent on
the language version of the program, PME Assistant, and
are not changed.
Device name
Use the device name to improve the identification of a
device in a group of several PMEs.

SYSTEM settings
16 a3387-1.1 en HBM: public MP85A
The device name does not affect the operation of the
device.
In the menu Data storage the option Keep device name
on parameter change specifies that when loading a
parameter set the device name is retained, i.e. it is not
overwritten by the name saved in the parameter set.
Date/time
The date and time are only used for saving the results.
The displayed time corresponds to that at the last window
update, e.g. on calling the dialog. Therefore an exclama-
tion point is displayed behind the time. The entered time is
sent to the PME, when, after making a change, you quit
the entry field by either clicking another field or pressing
.
Hardware synchronization
You have to carry out this setting if you are using more
than one device. In this case you set one device as the
Master and all others as Slave. This prevents the carrier
frequency measuring amplifiers of the individual devices
interfering with one another over transducer cables that
run parallel. However, only the measuring amplifiers are
synchronized, not, say, the CAN bus interfaces or similar
functions. You will find further information on this topic in
the MP85A operating manual.
Firmware update only possible after release on the
device
Here you define whether a firmware update may always
take place or only when it has been confirmed on the
device itself. This means that you can inhibit a firmware

SYSTEM settings
MP85A a3387-1.1 en HBM: public 17
update from starting via the network for all devices, e.g. in
a running process (during an update no measurement or
evaluation occurs). The update is then only executed after
manual confirmation on the device (F-Update: Per-
mitted!). If the confirmation does not occur within 15 min-
utes, then no change to the firmware is made.
2.2 Using passcodes
A passcode can be set, thus allowing you to block unau-
thorized access. This is a number. Letters are not allowed
therefore we use the word passcode, not password.
If you have forgotten your passcode, use the master pass-
code 1702, to reset the system and to allow you to enter a
new passcode.
Menu commands and dialogs can be permanently
blocked from the EASYsetup (FASTpress Suite) program
module. If you do not have one of the entries listed in this
Help, then the MP85A has been configured specially for
you.
Prepare passcode usage (activate)
The passcode must first be defined under SYSTEM 
General settings and the field Specify passcode. Turn
on the function with Activate passcode?
 Yes. When-
ever you then start the PME Assistant program, you will
only be able to access the menu command SYSTEM 
Passcode entry and the MEASURE + VISUALIZE menu
items.

SYSTEM settings
18 a3387-1.1 en HBM: public MP85A
Use SYSTEM General settings and Reactivate pass-
code to hide all passcode protected menu items and dia-
logs. If those menus shall be accessed again, a new
passcode entry has to be made.
Passcode entry
If the MP85A is protected by a passcode, you can only
access this menu item and menu MEASURE + VISU-
ALIZE. The correct passcode must be entered before you
can access all other menus. If still some menus are
missing, your MP85A is customized with program module
Assistant configuration.
2.3 Interface parameters
The dialog displays the parameters for the interfaces
installed, e.g. also the MAC address of the Ethernet inter-
face. Most settings can only be changed on the device
itself, see Configuring the MP85A interface(s).
With CAN bus the output rate (in multiples of 0.1 ms) and
the format for PDO messages (cyclic PDOs) can be set in
the dialog. The cyclic PDOs must however be started with
an interface command.
With an MP85ADP (with PROFIBUS option) you can set
the PROFIBUS address.
When using Ethernet you may also specify here a
gateway address. Use IPGatew1 to IPGatew4 to type in
the four parts of the gateway IP address. Gateways are
used, for example, to be able to reach other IP segments
or to send data via other protocols (network types).

You can find the interface commands in the MP85A Oper-
ating Manual “Interface Description CAN/Pro-
fibus/Ethernet”.
Configuring the MP85A interface(s)
Ethernet interface
Parameterization can only be carried out manually; in the
PME Assistant the parameters for the interface are only
displayed. The PME Assistant software must not be con-
nected to the MP85A over this interface during configura-
tion.
On the MP85A enter the Ethernet address (IP address)
and the subnet mask. Operation with dynamic addresses
(DHCP) is not possible. You should clarify with your net-
work administrator which IP address (Ethernet address)
and subnet mask you have to set. If you only want to
establish a direct link between a PC and the MP85A, you
can use any address, e.g. 192.168.169.xxx. The last
group of three figures (xxx) must be a number between 1
and 254 and different for the PC and the MP85A. Make
sure in this case that your PC can switch over the
Ethernet connection to a direct link or use a "crossover
cable" (not a normal Ethernet cable).
Setting the address and subnet mask on the MP85A:
1. Press the SET key for at least two seconds.
The display CAN BUS appears.
2. Press the + key until ETHERNET appears in the dis-
play.

3. Press the SET key.
The MAC address is displayed.
4. Press the + key so that the first group of the IP
address appears.
5. Press SET to be able to change the value with + or -.
Otherwise press + to proceed to the next group.
6. If you have changed a number, press the SET key.
7. After the display of the IP address you come to the
display of the subnet mask. Change this according to
your requirements.
8. To save the changes press the SET key for at least
two seconds.
The flashing display Save? appears.
9. Confirm it by pressing SET.
In the second line a flashing double arrow and the text
Yes appear.
10. Confirm this query also by pressing SET.
CAN bus interface
You can only change most parameters manually; the PME
Assistant software must not be connected to the MP85A
over this interface during configuration. Terminate the pro-
gram if necessary.
You do not need to terminate or close the online help
when you terminate the PME Assistant software.
Setting the baud rate on the MP85A
1. Press the SET key for at least two seconds.
The display CAN BUS appears.
