RLC PAXC-1/8 User manual

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PAXC (PAX Counter Panel Meter) offers many features and
performance capabilities to suit a wide range of industrial applications. The
optional Plug-in Setpoint Alarm Cards allow the opportunity to configure the
meter for alarms if that is a requirement.
The PAXC meter accepts digital inputs from a variety of sources including
switch contacts, outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits and all standard RLC
sensors. The meter can accept directional, uni-directional or Quadrature signals
simultaneously. The maximum input signal varies up to 34 KHz depending on
the count mode function configurations programmed. Each input signal can be
independently scaled to various process values.
The meter provides three different display indications. These include Counter
A, Counter B, and Counter C. Counter A and Counter B indicate the
corresponding input count value. Counter C indicates the sum or difference
between Counter A and Counter B values. Annunciators indicate which display
is being shown.
The front panel keys and three user inputs are programmable to perform
various meter functions. One function includes exchanging parameter lists,
allowing double the number of programmable setpoint, scale factor and count
load values.
The meter can have up to four setpoint outputs, determined by the Plug-in
cards. The Plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays (5 A), quad FORM-A
relays (3 A) or either quad sinking or quad sourcing open collector logic
outputs. The outputs can be assigned to any of the three displays. The outputs
can also be independently configured to suit a variety of control and alarm
requirements.
Once the meter has been initially configured, the parameter list may be
locked out from further modification entirely or setpoint, scale factor and count
load values can be made accessible. This lockout is possible through a security
code or user input.
The meter has been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments.
With a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing to meet CE
requirements, the meter provides a tough yet reliable application solution.

Installation
The PAX meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements for indoor use when
properly installed. The unit is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel.
Prepare the panel cutout to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch and
cardboard sleeve from the unit and
discard the cardboard sleeve.
Slide the panel gasket over
the rear of the unit to the
back of the bezel. The
unit should be installed
fully assembled. Insert
the unit into the panel
cutout.
While holding the unit in place, push the panel latch over the rear of the unit
so that the tabs of the panel latch engage in the slots on the case. The panel
latch should be engaged in the farthest forward slot possible. To achieve a
proper seal, tighten the latch screws evenly until the unit is snug in the panel
(Torque to approximately 7 in-lbs [79N-cm]). Do not over-tighten the screws.
Installation Environment
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the operating
temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near devices
that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
The bezel should only be cleaned with a soft cloth and neutral soap product.
Do NOT use solvents. Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate
the aging process of the bezel.

2.0 SETTING THE JUMPER AND DIP SWITCHES
3.0 INSTALLING PLUG-IN CARDS
The Plug-in cards are separately purchased optional cards that perform
specific functions. These cards plug into the main circuit board of the meter. The
Plug-in cards have many unique functions when used with the PAXC. The
literature that comes with these cards should be discarded, unless it specifically
states in the Plug-in Card literature that the information applies to the PAXC.
CAUTION: The Plug-in card and main circuit board contain static
sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static
charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal
object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean
workstation. Also, only handle the cards by the edges. Dirt, oil or
other contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely
affect circuit operation.
To Install:
1. With the case open, locate the Setpoint Plug-in card connector for the card to
be installed. When installing the card, hold the meter by the rear terminals
and not by the front display board.*
2. Install the Plug-in card by aligning the card terminals with the slot bay in the
rear cover. Be sure the connector is fully engaged and the tab on the Plug-in
card rests in the alignment slot on the display board.
3. Slide the meter base back into the case. Be sure the rear cover latches fully
into the case.
4. Apply the Plug-in card label to the bottom side of the meter. Do Not Cover
the vents on the top surface of the meter. The surface of the case must be
clean for the label to adhere properly. Apply the label to the area designated
by the large case label.
2.1 SETTING THE JUMPER
The meter has one jumper for user input logic. When using the user inputs
this jumper must be set before applying power. The Main Circuit Board figure
shows the location of the jumper and DIP switch.
The user input jumper
determines signal logic
for the user inputs, when
they are used with user
functions or for input
signal direction. All user
inputs are set by this
jumper.
2.2 SETTING THE INPUT DIP SWITCH
The meter has six DIP switches for Input A and Input B terminal set-up that
must be set before applying power.
SWITCHES 3 and 6
HI Frequency: Removes damping capacitor and allows max. frequency.
LO Frequency: Adds a damping capacitor for switch contact bounce. Also
limits input frequency to 50 Hz and input pulse widths to 10 msec.
SWITCHES 2 and 5
SRC.: Adds internal 3.9 KΩpull-down resistor, 7.3 mA max. @ 28 VDC,
VMAX = 30 VDC.
SNK.: Adds internal 7.8 KΩpull-up resistor to +12 VDC, IMAX = 1.9 mA.
SWITCHES 1 and 4

WIRING OVERVIEW
Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the
back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and
current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good
installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power
supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.
When wiring the meter, compare the numbers embossed on the back of the
meter case against those shown in wiring drawings for proper wire position.
Strip the wire, leaving approximately 0.3” (7.5 mm) bare lead exposed (stranded
wires should be tinned with solder.) Insert the lead under the correct screw-
clamp terminal and tighten until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify
tightness.) Each terminal can accept up to one #14 AWG (2.55 mm) wire, two
#18 AWG (1.02 mm), or four #20 AWG (0.61 mm).
EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Although this meter is designed with a high degree of immunity to Electro-
Magnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods must be
followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical
noise, source or coupling method into the meter may be different for various
installations. The meter becomes more immune to EMI with fewer I/O
connections. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very important
and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome installation.
Listed below are some EMC guidelines for successful installation in an
industrial environment.
1. The meter should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly
connected to protective earth.
2. Use shielded (screened) cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield
(screen) pigtail connection should be made as short as possible. The
connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application.
Listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in order
of their effectiveness.
a. Connect the shield only at the panel where the unit is mounted to earth
ground (protective earth).
b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when
the noise source frequency is above 1 MHz.
c. Connect the shield to common of the meter and leave the other end of the
shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.
3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC
power lines, conductors feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and
heaters, etc. The cables should be run in metal conduit that is properly
grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long
and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation
is near a commercial radio transmitter.
4. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far away as
possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy
components.
5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression
devices, such as ferrite suppression cores, is effective. Install them on Signal
and Control cables as close to the unit as possible. Loop the cable through the
core several times or use multiple cores on each cable for additional
protection. Install line filters on the power input cable to the unit to suppress
power line interference. Install them near the power entry point of the
enclosure. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are
recommended:
Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables:
Fair-Rite # 0443167251 (RLC# FCOR0000)
TDK # ZCAT3035-1330A
Steward # 28B209-0A0
Line Filters for input power cables:
Schaffner # FN610-1/07 (RLC# LFIL0000)
Schaffner # FN670-1.8/07
Corcom # 1 VR3
Note: Reference manufacturer’s instructions when installing a line filter.
6. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.
7. Switching of inductive loads produces high EMI. Use of snubbers across
inductive loads suppresses EMI.
Snubber: RLC# SNUB0000.

CAUTION: Sensor input common is NOT isolated from user input common. In order to preserve the safety of the meter application, the sensor input
common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective earth ground potential. If not,
hazardous voltage may be present at the User Inputs and User Input Common terminals. Appropriate considerations must then be given to the potential
of the user input common with respect to earth ground; and the common of the isolated plug-in cards with respect to input common.

PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (PAR KEY)
The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters can be
programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by pressing the
PAR key. If it is not accessible then it is locked by either a security code, or a
hardware lock.
Two types of programming modes are available. Quick Programming Mode
permits only certain parameters to be viewed and/or modified. All meter
functions continue to operate except for the front panel keys, which change to
Programming Mode Operations. Quick Programming Mode is configured in
Module 3. Full Programming Mode permits all parameters to be viewed and
modified. In this mode, incoming counts may not be recognized correctly, the
front panel keys change to Programming Mode Operation,s and certain user
input functions are disabled. Throughout this document, Programming Mode
(without Quick in front) always refers to “Full” Programming.
MODULE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
The Programming Menu is organized into six modules. These modules group
together parameters that are related in function. The display will alternate
between .%/ and the present module. The arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used to
select the desired module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the PAR
key.
MODULE MENU (PAR KEY)
Each module has a separate module menu (which is shown at the start of each
module discussion). The PAR key is pressed to advance to a particular
parameter to be changed, without changing the programming of preceding
parameters. After completing a module, the display will return to .%/ *!.
Programming may continue by accessing additional modules.
SELECTION / VALUE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
For each parameter, the display alternates between the present parameter and
the selections/value for that parameter. The arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used to
move through the selections/values for that parameter. Pressing the PAR key,
stores and activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter
to the next parameter.
PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (DSP KEY or at .%/ *! PARKEY)
The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the DSP key (from anywhere
in the Programming Mode) or the PAR key (with .%/ *! displayed). This will
commit any stored parameter changes to memory and return the meter to the
Display Mode. If a parameter was just changed, the PAR key should be pressed
to store the change before pressing the DSP key. (If power loss occurs before
returning to the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)

6.1 MODULE 1 - Count A & B Input Parameters ( 47)*= )
Module 1 is the programming for Counter A and Counter B. For maximum input frequency, the unused counter should be set to mode *!*(
when not in use. When set to *!*(, the remaining related parameters are not accessible. A corresponding annunciator indicates the counter
being shown in the Display Mode. An Exchange Parameter Lists feature for scale factors and count load values is explained in Module 2.

PROGRAMMING TIPS
It is recommended to start with Module 1. If lost or confused while
programming, press the DSP key and start over. When programming is
complete, it is recommended to record the parameter programming on the
Parameter User Chart and lock out parameter programming with a user input or
lock-out code.
FACTORY SETTINGS
Factory Settings may be completely restored in Module 9. This is a good
starting point for programming problems. Most parameters can be left at their
Factory Settings without affecting basic start-up. These parameters are
identified throughout the module explanations.
ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY
In the explanation of the modules, the following dual display with arrows will
appear. This is used to illustrate the display alternating between the parameter
on top and the parameter’s Factory Setting on the bottom. In most cases,
selections and values for the parameter will be listed on the right.

SCALING CALCULATIONS
Each counter has the ability to scale an input signal to a desired display
value. This is accomplished by the counter mode (x-#*$), scale factor (x&#"3#),
scale multiplier (x&#3'%) and decimal point (x-(#.$). The scale factor is
calculated using:
SF (x&#"3#) = Desired Display Decimal DDD
(Number of pulses per ‘single’ unit x CM x SM)
Where:
Number of pulses per ‘single’ unit: pulses per unit generated by the
process (i.e. # of pulses per foot)
CM: Counter Mode(x-#*$) times factor of the mode 1,2 or 4.
SM: Scale Multiplier (x&#3'%) selection of 1, 0.1 or 0.01.
Example:
1. Show feet to the hundredths (0.00) with 100 pulses per foot:
Scale Factor would be 100 / (100 x 1 x 1) = 1
(In this case, the scale multiplier and counter mode factor are 1)
2. Show feet with 120 pulses per foot: Scale Factor would be 1 / (120 x 1 x 1)
= 0.0083333. (In this case, the scale multiplier of 0.01 could be used: 1 / (120
x 1 x 0.01) = 0.83333 or show to hundredths (0.00): 100 / (120 x 1 x 1) =
0.8333.)
General Rules on Scaling
1. It is recommended that, the scale factor be as close as possible to, but not
exceeding 1.00000. This can be accomplished by increasing or decreasing
the counter decimal point position, using the scale multiplier, or selecting a
different count mode.
2. To double the number of pulses per unit, use counter modes direction X2 or
quad X2. To increase it by four times, use counter mode quad X4. Using
these modes will decrease the maximum input frequency.
3. A scale factor greater than 1.00000 will cause Counter display rounding. In
this case, digit jumps could be caused by the internal count register rounding
the display. The precision of a counter application cannot be improved by
using a scale factor greater than 1. 00000.
4. The number of pulses per single unit must be greater than or equal to the
DDD value for the scale factor to be less than or equal to one.
5. Lowering the scale factor can be accomplished by lowering the counter
decimal position. (Example: 100 (Hundredths)/10 pulses = 10.000 lowering
to 10 (Tenths)/10 = 1.000.)

PROGRAMMING MODE LOCK-OUT
Programming Mode is locked-out, as long as activated (maintained action).
In Module 3, certain parameters can be setup where they are still accessible
during Programming Mode Lockout. A security code can be configured to
allow complete programming access during user input lockout. Function keys
should not be programmed for .'!#.
Module 2 is the programming for rear terminal user inputs and front panel
function keys.
Three rear terminal user inputs are individually programmable to perform
specific meter control functions. While in the Display Mode, the function is
executed when the user input transitions to the active state. (Refer to the user
input specifications for active state response times.) Certain user input functions
are disabled in “full” Programming Mode.
Three front panel function F1, F2 and RST keys are also individually
programmable to perform specific meter control functions. While in the Display
Mode, the primary function is executed when the key is pressed. Holding the
F1 or F2 function key for three seconds executes a secondary function. It is
possible to program a secondary function without a primary function. The front
panel key functions are disabled in both Programming Modes.
In most cases, if more than one user input and/or function key is programmed
for the same function, the maintained (level trigger) actions will be performed
while at least one of those user inputs or function keys are activated. The
momentary (edge trigger) actions are performed every time any of those user
inputs or function keys transition to the active state. All functions are available
to both user inputs and function keys.
Some of the user functions have a sublist of parameters. The sublist is
accessed when PAR is pressed at the listed function. The function will only be
performed for the parameters entered as <(&. If a user input or function key is
configured for a function with a sublist, then that sublist will need to be scrolled
through each time to access the following user inputs or function keys

Module 3 is the programming for Display lock-out and “Full” and “Quick”
Program lock-out.
When in the Display Mode, the three displays can be read consecutively by
repeatedly pressing the DSP key. An annunciator indicates the display being
shown. These displays can be locked from being visible. It is recommended that
the display be set to '!# when the corresponding function is not used.
“Full” Programming Mode permits all parameters to be viewed and
modified. This Programming Mode can be locked with a security code and/or
user input. When locked and the PAR key is pressed, the meter enters a Quick
Programming Mode. In this mode, setpoint, count load and scale factor values
can still be read and/or changed per the selections below.
