TDY
Demand Moore Reliability 5
Introduction
The TDY is a 2-wire (loop-powered) temperature
transmitter with a digital display. It is congured using
a personal computer (PC) and the software program
provided by Moore Industries.
The TDY
The TDY is an exceptionally accurate and remarkably
versatile temperature transmitter with display. It
transmits input from a thermocouple, RTD, direct
resistance, millivolt source, or a potentiometer as a
linearized, scaled, and o󰀨set 4-20mA. The output
signal is proportional (or, by user designation,
inversely proportional) to the input.
Available in your choice of explosion-proof or NEMA
4X enclosures, the TDY has certied protection in
even the toughest environments. Combine this with a
20 V/m RFI/EMI immunity, and you have a transmitter
that can accurately read and send temperature
information in some very di󰀩cult environments.

Demand Moore Reliability 9
Conguring a TDY
One of the benets of the TDY transmitter is its easy-
to-use PC program; there are no internal or external
controls to adjust or settings to change. All operating
parameters are set using the PC program included
with each shipment. These settings are “downloaded”
in the form of a Conguration File into nonvolatile unit
memory over a connection between the PC’s serial
(COM) port (or USB port when using cable
804-030-26) and a COM port on the transmitter.
This section of the manual contains instructions for
conguring the TDY:
• Installing the Software
• Saving the Default Conguration
(Keeping What You’ve Got Safe)
• Selecting Input Type, Wiring Conguration,
etc.
• Scaling the Input/Setting Reverse Output
• Setting the Display
• Scaling the Output
• Trimming the Input
• Trimming the Output
• Setting Miscellaneous Parameters,
including Readout Engineering Units in °F
or °C, Input Filtering, Upscale or Downscale
Drive on Sensor Failure, and Broken Input
Wire Detection
• Setting Output Damping, Using the Loop Test
• Creating Custom Linearization Tables
• Managing Conguration Files
What is First
First, it is necessary to install the TDY Conguration
Program on a PC. Once the program is loaded and
running, nearly all of the operating parameters for the
connected transmitter are shown on a single screen
(see Figure 3). This makes it easy to determine which
aspects of transmitter operation need to be changed
to suit the application requirements.
What is Next
Once the Conguration Program is installed on the
PC, the TDY can be connected to equipment to
simulate input and monitor output, and with the PC
program, the user can view and/or change its
operating parameters.
No Transmitter Needed
It is not necessary to connect the TDY to a PC to
create Conguration Files. The Conguration
Program can be run without connecting a transmitter,
and most operating parameters can be set without
benet of input from a sensor or from a transmitter.
This makes it easy to create a set of operating
parameters, save them to disk, and download them to
one or more transmitters at a later time.
Note, however, that not all parameters can be set
without a transmitter. In some cases, a source of
input is also required.
The TDY must be connected to the PC in order to:
• Trim Input
• Trim Output
• Assign a Tag
• Perform a Loop Test
• Receive (via download) a Conguration File
And, perhaps most importantly...
• SAVE THE CONFIGURATION FILE ALREADY IN
THE TRANSMITTER’S MEMORY (refer to
“Keeping What You’ve Got Safe—Using ‘Get
Setup’”)

TDY
10 Demand Moore Reliability
Installing the Conguration
Software
Refer to Table 5 for the equipment needed.
1. Insert the Moore Industries Interface Solution
PCCongurationSoftware CD into the CD
drive of the PC. Access the CD and open
the SDY SIY TDY TRX TRY 64 bit PC
Congurationsoftware folder.
2. Double-click the installation program located
in the folder. Follow the prompts to correctly
install the program.
Once the Conguration Program is installed on the
PC, the TDY can be connected to equipment to
simulate input and monitor output. You can then
change the transmitter’s operating parameter
Gathering the Equipment Needed
It is possible to create a Conguration File for a TDY
without ever connecting the transmitter to a PC.
Most TDY operating parameters can be setup, saved
in a Conguration File, and stored on disk entirely
within the Conguration Program—without ever
communicating with a transmitter.
It is not possible to trim the transmitter input or
output without a transmitter, a source of input,
and a meter (for output trimming). Likewise, it is
not possible to use the Loop Test function of the
transmitter unless everything is setup as shown in
Figure 2, and it is not possible to store a tag name in
the memory of a transmitter without connecting that
transmitter to the Conguration Program.
Table 3 lists the things needed to setup the TDY as
shown in Figure 2.
Device Specications
Note:
Be sure to use calibrated test equipment when
performing any trimming operations on the TDY.
Moore Industries uses equipment rated 5:1 over the
rated accuracy of the unit under test.
We recommend the use of equipment
rated at least 3:1.

Setting the Display
The TDY has numerous settings for its display, all
of which are controlled using the “Input Range and
Setup Options” box. You can set the customizable
display to display the input, output, or toggle between
the two every two seconds. The display will even
scale to display any type of engineering units you
desire.
Input, Output, and Toggle
The pull-down menu shown below is used to adjust
what the TDY displays. There are three settings:
“Input”, which causes the TDY to display the input
it is receiving, “Output”, which causes the TDY to
display the 4-20mA output it is emitting, and “Toggle”,
which causes the TDY to switch between displaying
Input to Output every two seconds. To switch
between these, simply click on the pull-down menu,
select the appropriate function, and program the
transmitter as described on page 9, starting with step
3.
Figure 7. The pull-down menu lets you select what the TDY displays.
Display Zero & Display Full
The display zero and display full show what values will
actually be displayed. If the pull-down menu in Figure
7 and the radio button on Figure 8 both have “Input”
selected, then Display Zero will match Input Zero
and Display Full will match Input Full. The Display
columns then cannot be changed except by changing
the display value.
Figure 8. Use the Display radio button to switch from standard
input display to a scaleble display of any engineering unit type.
Scaling the Display
The TDY can scale its display. This feature is useful
when you need to limit, expand, or manipulate the
numbers the TDY displays. Doing this also gives you
the option of changing the engineering units
being displayed to any engineering unit type.
Scaling the input display is a simple procedure. First,
click “Scale” on the radio button in Figure 8. (Note
that if you have the pull-down menu in
Figure 7 set to “Output”, the Display radio button will
not be available.) You can then enter values into
the “Display Zero”, “Display Full”, and “Display EGU”
boxes. When you have entered the appropriate
values, program the TDY with the new information by
using the steps on page 9, starting with Step 3.

Disabling Broken Wire Detection
One of the premier features of many of Moore
Industries’ temperature transmitters is our Total
Sensor Diagnostics® system. During operation, the
TDY sends random micro-amp pulses through input
wiring to check for broken wiring or a burned out
sensor.
Working with a Millivolt Input
When the transmitter is connected to a PC, the “TDY
Status” section of the Main Conguration screen
displays the message “Broken Wire” whenever
problems are detected on the input, and the
transmitter itself drives its output upscale or
downscale.
This can cause problems for some types of millivolt
calibrators and input sources. To permanently
disable this feature when the TDY is working in a
millivolt input conguration, set the “Broken Wire”
radio button in the center-right section of the
Conguration Screen to OFF.
Working with a Thermocouple or RTD Input
Total Sensor Diagnostics can also cause problems
with some types of temperature calibrators. It is not
possible to disable the feature by setting the “Broken
Wire” radio button to OFF, as with millivolt inputs.
Instead, when working with thermocouple or RTD
inputs, set the “Calibration” radio button in the lower-
left area of the Conguration Screen to “Calibration
Mode”. This temporarily disables Total Sensor
Diagnostics.
Note:
It is not possible to set a TDY transmitter into
CalibrationMode(SensorDiagnosticsOFF)
permanently. The “Calibration Mode” setting remains
ineectonlyuntilaCongurationFileisdownloaded
to the transmitter.
Working with a Conguration File
Also, when working with a Conguration File, it may
be necessary to turn o󰀨 Total Sensor Diagnostics
in order to complete the settings for one or another
aspect of transmitter operation. To do this, click on the
“Stop BW” (Stop Broken Wire Detection) button when
it is active on the bottom of the screen.
Setting Miscellaneous Functions—
Engineering Unit Readout, Input
Filtering, Upscale or Downscale
Drive, and Broken Wire Detection
There are several “radio buttons” on the TDY
Conguration Program Main Screen that control
ancillary transmitter functions. It is not necessary to
have a transmitter hooked up to the PC in order to set
these parameters and save them in a Conguration
File.
Setting Engineering Unit Readout
When a temperature sensor is designated as the input
to the transmitter, the radio buttons for “Degree” are
enabled.
Use this setting to have the Conguration Program
calculate the Centigrade or Fahrenheit temperature for
readout in the “Status” area of the screen whenever
the PC is being used to monitor the input from the
connected sensor and from the display if the
“Input” option in the “Display” section is selected.
Setting Input Filtering
Use this radio button setting to lter out noise on the
power to the transmitter.
Choosing Between
Upscale and Downscale Drive
The TDY transmitter can be congured to provide a
special warning, using its output, of a breakdown in
its connected sensor or sensor wiring. Use this radio
button setting to congure the transmitter to drive its
output either up to 24mA or down to 3.3mA when a
sensor or sensor wiring failure is detected.
Note:
Thereisadierencebetweentheavailable
FullScaleoutputsettingandtheUpscaleDrive,
andbetweentheavailablezeroscaleoutputsetting

(ascongured)intheeventofasensororsensor
wiringfailure(upscale/downscaledrive).
If sensor input drops below the rated range, output
dropstoaminimumof3.8mA.Ifsensorinputrises
abovetheratedrange,outputrisesto21.4mA.
This allows the user to distinguish between an input
failure and an input over or under-range condition.

TDY
20 Demand Moore Reliability
Setting Output Damping
The Output Damping function of the TDY allows the
user to introduce a delay into the response of the
transmitter in order to minimize the e󰀨ect of any
input oscillations on the output. The higher the
damping value (set in seconds), the longer the TDY
will take to respond to trends on the input.
Note:
It is not necessary to connect an input device to the
PCinordertoselectandconguretheDamping
Value.
To set the damping value, either adjust the position of
the slider bar in the lower-right area of the
Conguration Program Main Screen, or enter a value
directly into the space provided.
The default damping value is 0 seconds. The
maximum allowable damping value is 5.056 seconds.
Using the Loop Test
The TDY Loop Test feature allows the user to employ
the transmitter’s output to “trim” other instruments in
the loop.
To use the Loop Test feature, the connected TDY must
stop measuring input.
1. Click on the “Stop” button.
2. Click on the “Loop Test” button.
This enables a slide bar in the lower-right area
of the Conguration Screen.
3. Use the slide bar to adjust the output of
the connected TDY to a percentage of the
congured scale. Monitor the e󰀨ect of this
on other instruments in the loop, and adjust
accordingly.
4. Click on “Quit Loop” to stop using the Loop Test
feature.
