3 GENERAL PRODUCT OVERVIEW
3.1 Purpose
FP4/FP4W is a versatile, modern and precise flow totalizer with internal data logging.
The device is used in industry and in the supervision of production lines. Equipped with
two analogue inputs (RTD, 0-20mA or 4-20mA, ±10V) and two PULS type inputs
(frequency measurement, pulse counting, binary signal tracking and recording) can
measure flow and other values, such as temperature and humidity. In addition FP4/FP4W
has two math channels and two totalizers assigned to each of the six available channels.
Device can communicate with master system through Ethernet port (Modbus TCP
protocol, web server) or through RS-485 port (Modbus RTU protocol) and can work in
distributed control systems.
The FP4 device is supplied from 24 VDC source, while the FP4W device is supplied
from 230 VAC source. Detailed information concerning the power supply is given in
consecutive parts of the document, in section power supply connection.
3.2 Basic functions
Measurement of the process values
The device is equipped with 4 measurement inputs: two analogue type (0/4-20mA,
R/RTD, U) and two PULS type. Each inputs is assigned to appropriate channel.
Math channels
Within the math channels, selected mathematical operations are available: addition,
subtraction, division and multiplication (based on the measured values, according to the
formulas entered by the user). There are two available math channels.
Flow measurement
Each measurement input (including binary inputs) and each calculated value have two
independent totalizers assigned. Totalizers for pulse inputs can provide precise pulses
count. In addition, the operating time of each totalizer is recorded.
Alarms and control
Two alarm thresholds may be set for every channel. Binary outputs can be assigned to
alarm thresholds. Two modes are available for alarms: latched (‘Alarm’ mode) and
non-latched (‘Control’ mode). 4 relay outputs are available.
Analogue output
One 4-20 mA output is available, enabling retransmission of the selected channel
value (also math channel value).
Results recording
Process values, math channels, totalizers and timers (operating time of totalizers) can
be recorded into internal flash memory with the capacity of 2 GB. Data are saved as text
files and protected with encoded checksum. Apart from the measured values, the device
also saves events (power loss, resetting, exceeded threshold values, etc.) and authorised
operations.

FP4, FP4W

Displaying the results
Measured and calculated results can be displayed on the 4” colour LCD screen. The
values of channels, totalizers and timers are presented in digital form (max. 11 digits
displayed for process values and max. 15 digits displayed for totalizers). Measurement
screens can be browsed sequentially or set to a selected channel.
Communication with a supervisory computer or a control system
The device enable data transmission to a supervisory computer or a control system by
means of:
a built-in RS-485 serial port; available Modbus RTU protocol,
Ethernet port; available Modbus TCP protocol.
Software for PC
FP4/FP4W - dedicated software (FP4 Config.exe) enables device configuration using
the computer. The software is intuitive and has an interface which is very similar to the
interface of the device. The software can be installed on the computers with the MS Win
operating system.
The REPORT software (FP4-RP.exe) for archived data enables visualization and
analysis, using the computer. The FP4-RPplus.exe program enables online transfer of
archived data.
3.3 Available options
Device is available in panel mount version (FP4) and in wall mount version (FP4W).
Both device versions have the same features.
The configuration of the settings described in the Operating Manual is the same for
both versions of the device.

4 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
!
Prior to the commencement of any assembly work, read carefully the
information concerning safety described in section SAFETY INFORMATION.
4.1 Mechanical installation of the FP4 device
FP4 is a panel-mounted device. It can be mounted into panels at least 1 mm thick.
Before installation, a 138(+1) mm X 68(+0.7) mm rectangular opening must be cut out in the
panel. The mounting depth of the device (with connected terminals) is 127 mm. In order to
ensure easy installation of electrical connections, it is recommended to leave an extra
space of approx. 30 mm behind the device.
When installing the device in the panel opening, the seal between the housing frame
and the panel have to be fitted. After inserting the device into panel opening, the fixing
clamps should be latched on both side walls. Next, tighten the screws. With the removable
screw terminal block, it is possible to install electrical connections first and then
mechanical installation of the device.

5 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
!
Prior the commencement of any connection works, read carefully the
information concerning safety described in section SAFETY INFORMATION.
Power supply and all signal wires are connected to plug-in screw terminals, situated at
the rear panel of the device (FP4) or spring terminals at the bottom of the device (FP4W).
Maximum wires cross-section area is 1.5 mm2. Both wire and cord cables can be used.
Wires should be stripped 8 mm to 10 mm at the end. If cables with a larger cross-section
are used, it is recommended to use an intermediate terminal block in the measurement
cabinet between the facility wiring and the device.

5.1 Configuration of jumpers inside the device
In order to configure the analogue input to a specific operating mode, the jumper
connections inside the device must be changed. A change may be required in case of:
connection of a transducer of a given type to analogue inputs,
connection of a transducer of a given type to PULS type inputs,
connecting/disconnecting filters on PULS type inputs.
Changing the jumper configuration is required when supplying the FP4W device from
24 VDC source. More information in section Power supply connection (FP4W).
The jumper configuration should be changed before connecting the sensors and
programming the settings. It is required to remove the rear plate of the device's housing
(FP4) or the front part of the housing (FP4W).
!
Disassembly of the housing should be made solely by a trained personnel.
The rear panel of the FP4 device should not be draw out more than
necessary to connect jumpers.
In the upper part of the FP4 housing there is a label showing the correct way of
configuration of the jumpers inside the device and electrical connections. In the lower right
corner of the label there is a place in which current configuration of the device can be
marked.
Information about the correct configuration of jumpers for a given type of input is also
displayed in the I/O configuration window.
!
In the I/O configuration window there is only hint about the correct
configuration of the jumpers inside the device (it is not the information
about their current configuration).
