2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
• Multifunctional
PMS-90R designed for recording, dis laying current or averaged values and
resentation of technological arameter trends in gra hic form. All measured
arameters must be available in 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA (this can be for exam le
ressures, levels, humidity, tem eratures, forces, etc.).
• Large data storage capacity
The registered measurement results are recorded in the unit's memory. The
ca acity of installed memory allows to store:
–over 500 000 measurements (2MB) for units equi ed with RS485 interface
–over 2 000 000 measurements (8MB) for units equi ed with RS485 interface
and USB Host ort.
• Configurable measurement and control input
The unit has u to 8 channels of 0-20 mA (4-20 mA) current signals and one digital
voltage in ut with rogrammable functions, e.g. control of the recording rocess.
Each signal can be freely configured and described. The internal analogue-digital
converter has a 12 bit resolution, which rovides high recording resolution results.
Additionally, individual al hanumeric descri tion (text) of each of the recorded
channels is ossible.
• Fast serial interface
The data recorder is fitted with a galvanic insulated RS 485 interface, rogrammed
with ModBus RTU transmission rotocol. This enables the connection of a number
of data recorders into the network, remote collecting of data from each unit and also
remote configuration. The a lication of the RS 485 interface instead of RS 232 is
due to the ossibility of achieving high transmission s eeds using transmission
lines of larger length than is ossible with the RS 232 interface.
• Built-in USB Host interface (optional)
O tionally the data logger can be equi ed with built-in USB Host interface,
allowing for data transfer to o ular USB Flash Drives (PenDrives). This method
allows for significant sim lification of unit a lication: it is no longer necessary to
connect PC and PMS-90R via RS-485 interface.
Significant acceleration of data transfer is an additional advantage: data download
can be 10 times faster than using RS-485 interface.
WARNING! PMS-90R should work ro erly with any standard Flash Drives, but
manufacturer can not guarantee ro er coo eration with non-standard devices, or
with devices develo ed after PMS-90R release.

User manual for Data Logger and cooperating software
• Wide range of power supply voltage and external sensor power supply
The built-in ulse ower su ly allows ower to be su lied to the unit with
85...230...260V AC/DC voltage or 16...24...35 AC, 19...24...50 DC voltage
(de ending on version). The voltage for owering the sensor and converters is
connected to the rear terminal stri : 24V DC ±5% / max. 200mA.
• Legible graphic display
The 128 x 64 oints dis lay with a backlight mounted on front of the unit is a big
advantage of the data recorder. It allows the dis lay of trend gra hs for each
channel se arately. Different o eration modes rovide the ossibility of selecting
and adjusting the method of data resentation de ending on the user's
requirements. Data recording intervals are selected by the user from the menu
level. Additionally, it is ossible to set the dis lay to show one current value
measured for a selected channel.
• Easy configuration
There are 6 keys on the front of the data recorder that enable the configuration of
the unit. The menu assisted with full text descri tions makes the unit configuration
rocess quite easy. However, due to a significant number of configured arameters
it is advised to use the attached configuration software for PCs.

4.3. CONNECTION METHOD
Caution
- Installation should be conducted by qualified ersonnel . During installation all
available safety requirements should be considered. The fitter is res onsible for
executing the installation according to this manual, local safety and EMC
regulations.
- The unit is not equi ed with an internal fuse or ower su ly circuit breaker.
Because of this an external time-delay cut-out fuse with minimal ossible nominal
current value must be used (recommended bi olar, max. 2A) and a ower su ly
circuit-breaker located near the unit. In the case of using a mono olar fuse it must
be mounted on the hase cable (L).
- The ower su ly network cable diameter must be selected in such a way that in
the case of a short circuit of the cable from the side of the unit the cable shall be
rotected against destruction with an electrical installation fuse.
- Wiring must meet a ro riate standards and local regulations and laws.
- In order to secure against accidental short circuit the connection cables must be
terminated with a ro riate insulated cable ti s.
- Tighten the clam ing screws. The recommended tightening torque is 0.5 Nm.
Loose screws can cause fire or defective o eration. Over tightening can lead to
damaging the connections inside the units and breaking the thread.
- In the case of the unit being fitted with se arable clam s they should be inserted
into a ro riate connectors in the unit, even if they are not used for any
connections.
- Unused clamps (marked as n.c.) must not be used for connecting an
connecting cables (e.g. as bridges), because this can cause damage to the
equipment or electric shock.
- If the unit is equi ed with housing, covers and sealing acking, rotecting
against water intrusion, ay s ecial attention to their correct tightening or
clam ing. In the case of any doubt consider using additional reventive measures
(covers, roofing, seals, etc.). Carelessly executed assembly can increase the risk
of electric shock.
- After the installation is com leted do not touch the unit’s connections when it is
switched on, because it carries the risk of electrical shock.
Due to possible significant interference in industrial installations appropriate measures
assuring correct operation of the unit must be applied. To avoid the unit of improper
indications keep recommendations listed below.
-Avoid common ( arallel) leading of signal cables and transmission cables together with
ower su ly cables and cables controlling induction loads (e.g. contactors). Such cables
should cross at a right angle.
-Contactor coils and induction loads should be equi ed with anti-interference rotection
systems, e.g. RC-ty e.
12
!

User manual for Data Logger and cooperating software
-Use of screened signal cables is recommended. Signal cable screens should be
connected to the earthing only at one of the ends of the screened cable.
-In the case of magnetically induced interference the use of twisted cou les of signal
cables (so-called “s irals”) is recommended. The s iral (best if shielded) must be used
with RS-485 serial transmission connections.
-In the case of interference from the ower su ly side the use of a ro riate anti-
interference filters is recommended. Bear in mind that the connection between the filter
and the unit should be as short as ossible and the metal housing of the filter must be
connected to the earthing with largest ossible surface. The cables connected to the filter
out ut must not run in arallel with cables with interference (e.g. circuits controlling relays
or contactors).
Connections of ower su ly voltage and measurement signals are executed using the
screw connections on the back of the unit’s housing.

4.4. MAINTENANCE
The unit does not have any internal re laceable or adjustable com onents available to
the user. Pay attention to the ambient tem erature in the room where the unit is o erating.
Excessively high tem eratures cause faster ageing of the internal com onents and shorten
the fault-free time of unit o eration.
In cases where the unit gets dirty do not clean with solvents. For cleaning use warm water with
small amount of detergent or in the case of more significant contamination ethyl or iso ro yl
alcohol.
Using any other agents can cause ermanent damage to the housing.
Product marked with this symbol should not be laced in munici al waste. Please

6. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
After turning the ower su ly on, the logo and basic unit data are showed on the
dis lay, then the unit goes to the measurement mode.
6.1. MEASUREMENT MODE
In the measurement mode the unit executes the measurement of values of signals
connected to current in uts, hereafter called measurement channels (the number of available
channels de ends on the unit version). Measurements are conducted at the frequency of
8 times er second for each channel. The nominal range of in ut current for each in ut is
0-20 mA or 4-20 mA and can be extended to the maximum of 0-22 mA, inde endently to each
measurement channel. The results of the conducted measurements are shown on the LCD
dis lay. The unit com utes the measurement results into indicated values ro ortionally
(linear). The range of measurement results corres onding to the nominal range of in ut
current is defined as nominal measurement range. The range of measurement results
corres onding to the range of in ut current including the extensions is defined as allowable
measurement range (Fig. 6.1).

The range of dis layed values, unit of measured value and osition of the decimal oint
(for resentation in numeric form) are defined by the user.
All available arameters of the unit’s o eration can be configured in the main menu (see
DEVICE PROGRAMMING) or using the RS 485 interface and software installed on your PC.
Configuration of the device (via menu or RS 485 interface) do not stops the data
recording process .
Results of measurements conducted for active (selected by the user) channels of the unit are
dis layed in one of the available result resentation modes (see RESULT PRESENTATION
MODES).

Values corres onding to the results of current measurement conducted for each channel can
be recorded (stored in the non-volatile memory of the unit) for further analysis. The recording
of measurement results for all channels is erformed with the same frequency, defined by the
user in the range between 1 record er second to 1 record er hour ("Rec. period"
arameter). Recording times are synchronized with the internal real time clock. Recording can
be sto ed at any moment with selected status on digital in ut of the unit ("Triggering"
arameter).
In order to enable more advanced mathematical rocessing of recorded signals it is
ossible to set the unit's o tions to record averaged measurement results. Setting the
recorded value ty e to averaged value ( arameters "Channel 1"... "Channel 8", de ending
on the number of channels in the unit) causes that instead of momentary values the unit
records in its memory values that constitute the average results of measurements conducted
during the set recording period. All measurements conducted by the unit shall be averaged
(eight measurements er second), irres ective of the set recording frequency.
The rinci le of recording measurements is resented in figure 6.2. In the case of recording
momentary values t(a), t(b), t(c) designate the recording times of values corres onding to
current measurements an, bn, cn. In the case of recording averaged values t(a), t(b), t(c)
designate the times of recording values corres onding to measurement averaging results,
a1…an, b1…bn, c1…cn corres ondingly.
Ex lanation :
t(a), t(b), t(c) - recording oints
a, b, c, d - measurement oints
Δt - delay between measurements (0.125s)
Fig. 6.2. Principle f measurement rec rding
Averaging o eration concerns onl the ty e of recorded values; it does not concern
the method of resentation of current measurement. In all result resentation modes,
indications - described in the remaining art of the manual as results of
measurements not recorded in the unit's memory - corres ond to the momentary
value of the measured signal.
Averaged values can be viewed in the data logger only in the "Measurements list" and
"Graph" results resentation mode, because these modes enable resentation of values
recorded in the unit's memory. Averaged values can also be viewed in the database
downloaded by the software working with the data logger.
In the case of multi le changes of ty e of recorded value (momentary values of
averaged values) there is no ossibility to distinguish whether data recorded in the
memory concerns momentary measurement value or averaged measurement results.

User manual for Data Logger and cooperating software
Recording the measurement results in the non-volatile memory can be executed in two
modes: "until full" or "c clic" ("Write" arameter). The first mode enables the recording of
such amounts of data as the unit's memory allows for, then the recording is sto ed. In the
second mode, once the memory is full, the results are recorded from the starting address in
the memory, overwriting existing measurement results. The time remaining until the memory is
full is dis layed once the unit is started and in the "Device information" menu, available in the
units main menu.
In the case of both modes, once the memory is full, a warning message is dis layed (see
descri tion of "Write" arameter in the "Logging setup" menu). The recorded data should be
eriodically downloaded to a PC using a ro riate software or alternatively using USB
FlashDrive (method recommended for data loggers equi ed with 8MB of memory).
All arameters concerning the recording mode, the influence of digital in ut on the
recording method, the recording frequency and ty e of recorded value are available in the
"Logging setup" menu described in section MAIN MENU DESCRIPTION.
6.2. MODES OF RESULT PRESENTATION
The results of measurements conducted for active channels are resented in numeric or
gra hic (gra h or bar) form. Selection of one of the available results resentation modes can
be made using the [^] and [v] keys in the measurement mode. Configuration of the method of
dis laying in the selected results resentation mode can be made in the menu of the given
resentation mode (see DESCRIPTION OF RESULTS PRESENTATION MODES MENU).
The following resentation modes are available:
- "Single channel" mode (Fig. 6.3) enables the last
measurement for one of the measurement channels to be
viewed in the numeric and gra hic form (bar).
Fig. 6.3. "Single channel" mode
- "Measurements list" mode (Fig. 6.4) enables the
momentary values recorded during the set eriod of time
or averaged values of the conducted measurements for
one of the measurement channels to be viewed in numeric
form.

- "Graph" mode (Fig. 6.5) enables the momentary values
or averaged values of measurements conducted for one of
measurement channels to be viewed in the form of a
gra h.
Fig. 6.5. "graph" mode
- "Channels list" mode (Fig. 6.6, 6.7) enables the
measurement results for all active measurement channels
to be viewed in numeric or gra hic (bar) form.

After starting the unit the result resentation mode and channel selected rior to
switching off the unit are active (this information is stored in the EEPROM memory)
6.2.1. "Single channel" mode
This mode (Fig. 6.8) dis lays the result of the last measurement for one of the active
channels in numeric form (in the middle art of the dis lay) and in the form of a bar
( ercentage, at the bottom of the screen). The gra hical indicator (bar) always shows the
relation of the measurement result to the nominal measurement range (see descri tion of
"Hi value", "Lo value" arameters in the "Inputs settings" menu).

Exceeding the nominal measurement range (Fig. 6.9) is signalled on the bar with an arrow
indicating the direction of exceeding the range. If the measurement result for one channel
exceeds the allowable measurement range (Fig. 6.10) instead of the result in numeric form the
dis lay shows a "-Hi-" or "-Lo-" message (de ending on the direction of exceeding, see
