CAUTION
Please note, for trouble-free operation:
−Do not use USB connections designed for use in office environments, e.g.
such as the USB to CAN adapter from HBM, for industrial environments.
−Only use high-quality cables and devices, e.g. managed switches, for the
network components. Interferences caused by low-quality network compo-
nents can only be detected with great expense and therefore result in exces-
sively high costs during troubleshooting.
−Ensure that the hardware used meets the minimum requirements of the re-
spective software. The faster the processes being monitored and the more
data, e.g. process data and curves, needs to be saved, the faster the PC must
be capable of being able to process them.
−Ensure that the PC is sufficiently ventilated and cooled, even under unfavor-
able conditions (hot days).
−Ensure that regular backups are implemented for important data.

2 Connecting the sensors
2 sensors (transducers) can be independently connected to screw terminals 5
and 6 (e.g. channel 1 displacement and channel 2 force). HBM transducer
cables or other shielded, low capacitance measurement cables should be
used. The shield of the transducer cable must be connected as closely as
possible (< 5 cm) to the flat plug (4.8 mm).

3 Installing the PME Setup Assistant
•Insert the CD into the drive
Installation starts automatically or can be called up from the “Setup.exe” file.
Alternatively, the current Assistant can be downloaded from the HBM website
http://www.hbm.de > Support > Download > Software.
After installation, an icon is generated in the Windows
Start menu, with which the Assistant can be launched.
The Assistant initially displays the Setup window where the MP85A process
controller connection settings must be specified.

IMPORTANT
The network segment of the MP85A process controller (factory settings:
192.169.169.10) must also be set in the network settings of the PC (no auto-
matic address assignment via DHCP). The PC address may only differ in the
last group from the address of the MP85A process controller:
IP address example: 192.168.169.11
Subnet mask example 255.255.255.0

4 Preparing for measurement / Setting up mode
When it is switched on, the two-line display on the front of the MP85A process
controller shows the measured value and another line with status information.
If the device detects an error, this will also be shown on the display (for a de-
scription, see the Chapter “Error messages” and Chapter 9 in the MP85A pro-
cess controller operating manual).
Further device configuration is then implemented with the “PME Assistant”.
The individual masks are called up by clicking on the folder in the tree struc-
ture.
To close the window, click on the button at the top right of the window as is
the rule in Windows. The settings made in that window will then also be ap-
plied!
TIP
In order not to invalidate subsequent statistics while in set up mode, the PME
Assistance (menu: data backup) can be used to switch off the statistics proc-
essing.
Sensor settings:
The relevant characteristic transducer values must be entered with the PME
Assistant before measurements can be made.
1. Sensors with TEDS (electronic data sheet)
If the MP85A process controller is working with sensors that have TEDS, the
sensor settings can be transferred to the amplifier by clicking in the window
TEDS (Preparing for measurement −> Amplifier −> TEDS menu). Then all
that is needed is a zero balance.

11
MP85A(DP) FASTpress, MP85A(DP)−S EASYswitch
A2073-5.0 en/de/fr
TIP
To ensure that the TEDS function is automatically available after a power fail-
ure and also during measurement itself, select the relevant options in the
TEDS window and save them in the current parameter set (window: Save/
load parameters)
Sensors without TEDS (electronic data sheet)
Should you be using sensors without TEDS, the relevant sensor data must be
entered via the PME Assistant.
This includes:
1. Transducer type
2. Transducer characteristic curve (2 points). Subsequently,
3. A zero balance must be performed.

A2073-5.0 en/de/fr
In this example, a displacement transducer is connected to channel x and a
force transducer to channel y.
Step 1 (transducer window):
The displacement transducer works as a half bridge with an 80 mV/V mea-
suring range (the next highest with 100 mV/V was selected).
The force transducer works as a full bridge with an 2 mV/V measuring range
(the next highest with 4 mV/V was selected).
It is helpful to set the units at the same time (here: mm and kN).
Step 2 (enter characteristic curve window):
Two methods are available:
−Enter characteristic curve using the data sheet data
−Alternatively: Calibrate characteristic curve, specifying two points per sen-
sor

13
MP85A(DP) FASTpress, MP85A(DP)−S EASYswitch
A2073-5.0 en/de/fr
Simplest way:
Enter the values for the zero point and the full scale from the sensor data
sheet in the Enter characteristic curve window.
(e.g. Zero point: 0 mV/V corresponding to 0 kN
Span: 2 mV/V corresponding to 10 kN)
Alternatively: (Calibrate characteristic curve window) measure two points
per sensor
To keep measurement error as small as possible, the points used should lie at
the limits of the subsequently used measurement range.
Procedure:
1. Approach the first characteristic curve point , e.g. move displacement
transducer to the starting position, for force (and zero point as the selected
point), relieve the transducer.
2. Enter corresponding physical value in “Physical point 1”, e.g. 0 mm.
3. Click on “Measure point 1”. The value measured by the MP85A process
controller appears under “Electrical point 1”.
4. Move to second characteristic curve point, e.g. set path using gauge block,
set force value with weights or with reference transducer, etc.
5. Enter the value of quantity set under “Physical point 2”, e. g. 40 kN or
60 mm.
6. Click on “Measure point 2”. The value measured by the MP85A process
controller appears under “Electrical point 2”.
Apply the same procedure to the second sensor.
Step 3 (zero balance, signal conditioning), needed for sensors both with
and without TEDS:
The sensors are now connected and the system is in the starting position.
Carry out a zero balance for each sensor with the “Zero balance” button.
The sensor technology and the amplifier are now perfectly coordinated.
TIP
To store all the settings safe from power failure, these should now be saved in
the Save/load parameters window in the internal MP85A process controller
memory (menu: Save to Flash) as well as on the PC (menu: Save to PC)!
Further information and tips can be called up by clicking on the Help button.

5 Specifying the evaluation criteria
This menu (Evaluation parameter settings) is used to specify the criteria to
later evaluate the process response as OK (OK) or not OK (NOK).
This is implemented by means of a curve trace, e.g. force-displacement dur-
ing a press-fit process, travelling through various windows (tolerance win-
dows). If the trace misses these windows or leaves the windows at the wrong
place, the press-fit process is evaluated as not OK (NOK) and displayed.
The Evaluation parameter menu allows measurements to be started and
stopped manually, i.e. using the mouse. The process curves measured in this
way can be used for better positioning of the tolerance windows.
The positioning of the individual windows is also implemented by using the
mouse. Once the windows are created, they can be moved around with the
“Drag and Drop” function or changed in size, as required. A maximum of 9 tol-
erance windows are available.
Alternatively, the evaluation can be implemented via an envelope curve or tol-
erance band (see MP85A online help).

Step 1:
Call up the Evaluation parameter settings window
Step 2 (control settings):
The essential setting here:
−How will the measurement function be started/ended later in the process?
This is important as in the factory setting, evaluation with the OK/NOK deci-
sion is only implemented after measurement is completed!
It makes sense, when measuring force/displacement, for the Start setting to
be: “Channel x setpoint exceeded” (here displacement) and the Stop setting
to be: “Channel x return” (here displacement).
The standard end condition set is:
End: at external signal or when exiting start conditions
If the stop signal must come from an external controller, the stop condition
“External stop” should be selected. The “Start/Stop process” function can be
assigned to a digital input. This must be set in the menu “Digital inputs”.
Status bar:
Information about the measurement process will be displayed here and also
later in measuring mode:
−Measurement sequence (e.g. running or finished)
−Reasons for an alarm (e.g. values outside the alarm window/machine pro-
tection)
−Reason for end of measurement (e.g. external stop)

A2073-5.0 en/de/fr
Step 3 (Alarm range window):
Call the Alarm window window and press the “Automatically adjust alarm
and range window” button. This will automatically adapt the display and con-
trol area to the measuring range of the connected sensors.
Step 4 (tolerance window):
Use the left mouse button to move the tolerance windows to the decisive posi-
tions for the process.
To do this:
•Keep the left mouse button pressed down
•Pull window
•Select: “New window”
(In this case: Window 1 for the thread-in process, window 2 for the fitting pro-
cess and window 3 as the end window to display the block force).
NOTE
All tolerance windows must lie within the range window marked in green. The
blue alarm window must be at least as big as the range window – the size can
be changed with the mouse.
Step 5:
To set up further evaluation criteria for the tolerance windows, click on the re-
quired window which will then appear in blue.
Clicking on the button opens another window where you can e.g. se-
lect the entry and exit sides.
Step 6:
In setting up mode, use the button to start a measurement “manually”,
run the process through and then stop again manually with the button.
If necessary, repeat this process several times to obtain an accurate curve
family. To do this, click on the “Curve history” item in the “Graphics” menu first.

the Save/load parameters window in the internal MP85A process controller
memory (Flash) and in the PC!
Select the memory directory under “File −> Specify memory directory”.
Further information and tips can be called up by clicking on the Help button.
6 Measuring and displaying (continuous production)
The graphic display of the test process during continuous production, with all
tolerance windows, is implemented in the Measurement curve window. By
default, the last measurement curve is always shown. It is also possible, in the
“Graphics” menu, to select the display of several curves: “Curve history”.

Results of last measurement
Status line
This window also has a status bar at the lower end. It shows:
−The progress of the measurement, then after the evaluation the OK or NOK
decision
−Reasons for an alarm
−Reasons for the end of measurement

7 Results of the last measurement
The evaluation of the last process can be shown as a table, with all important
information (window: Results of last measurement). The minimum and max-
imum values of the process are also displayed here.
The switching results and haptic measured values are also displayed in a ta-
ble when the MP85A(DP)-EASYswitch is used.
