Safety Information
Safety Rules
The supply connection, as well as the signal and sense leads, must be installed in
such a way that electromagnetic interference does not adversely affect device
functionality.
Automation equipment and devices must be covered over in such a way that adequate
protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided (such as access
checks, password protection, etc.).
When devices are working in a network, these networks must be designed in such a
way that malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and shut down.
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so that a
line break or other interruptions to signal transmission, such as via the bus interfaces,
do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the automation device.
Before connecting the device, make sure that the mains voltage and current type
specified on the type plate correspond to the mains voltage and current type at the site
of installation and that the current circuit used is sufficiently safe.
The maximum permissible supply voltage for the eDAQ
lite
is 18 V DC for the ELCPU
processor and 55 V DC for the ELCPU-PLUS processor.
Appropriate use
The eDAQ
lite
and its connected transducers may be used for measurement tasks
only and directly related control tasks. To ensure safe operation, the transducer may
only be used as specified in the operating manual. It is also essential to follow the
respective legal and safety regulations for the application concerned during use. The
same applies to the use of accessories.
Each time, before starting up the equipment, you must first run a project planning and
risk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of automation technology.
This particularly concerns personal and machine protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions could cause
major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the event of a fault, these
precautions establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling, limit value
switches, etc.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions

1.3 Setting Up the System
Setting up the eDAQ
lite
data acquisition system involves installing TCE on the
support PC and setting up the eDAQ
lite
hardware.
1.3.1 Installing Somat Test Control Environment (TCE)
To install TCE:
1. Run the TCE installer found on the TCE/eDAQ
lite
distribution CD or downloaded
from the www.hbm.com/somat. Follow the instructions on screen.
2. When prompted, enter the desired destination folder for the installation. By default,
the TCE installation program places each new software release in a unique folder.
3. If updating to a new version of TCE, copy or move the file “TceMS.ini” from the
working directory of the previous TCE installation folder to the working directory of
the new TCE installation folder. This process transfers the current TCE preference
settings into the new version of TCE.
Notes on the Installation and Working Directories
•
Using a Common Installation Folder: Previous versions of the TCE installer used a common destination folder for all
releases. To continue using a common folder, uninstall the previous TCE version before starting the new installation.
Change the installation program default folder name to the common folder name (previously, “C:\Program
Files\Somat\Tce_eDAQ”) during the installation process. To keep TCE preference settings, be sure to save the
“TceMS.ini” file before uninstalling the previous version of TCE.
•
Default Working Directory: Effective starting with TCE 3.15, the TCE working directory now defaults to a subfolder in
the “Documents” or “My Documents” directory named “Somat\TCE vX.XX.X build XXX”. This working directory
includes all database files and the TCE preferences files. New user database files must be added to this working
directory.
•
Modifying the Working Directory: To change the working directory, open the TCE application shortcut properties by right
clicking the application shortcut or the entry in the Windows Start menu and select Properties. In the Target field, delete
the second string, which starts with
“-d
, leaving only
“C:\Program Files\Somat\TCE vX.XX.X build
XXX\TceMs.exe”
. Then type the desired working directory in the Start In field. Note that the folder must already exist.
For Windows XP or earlier, the Start In folder can reside in Program Files. Select Apply to save the new settings.

lite
to the
PC, an Ethernet HUB connector for communication through an Ethernet hub, a 9-pin
serial connector for communications through a PC serial port or a set of two LEMO
sync connectors for networking eDAQ/eDAQ
lite
systems. A summary of the available
communication cables is below.
1.3.3 Setting Up the eDAQ
lite
To power the eDAQ
lite
and establish communications with its support PC:
1. Connect the 26-pin D-Sub connector of a Somat Communications Cable to the
Comm connector on the eDAQ
lite
. For Ethernet communication, connect the
RJ-45 connector either directly to the PC or to an Ethernet hub, depending on the
communications table. For serial communication, connect the 9-pin D-Sub
connector directly to the PC. The serial connection may be removed once the setup
process is complete, but it may be helpful in network setup should difficulties arise
with Ethernet communication.
2. Connect the appropriate cable(s) to the eDAQ
lite
for the desired type of
transducers or sensors.
3. Make sure the power supply for the eDAQ
lite
is turned off and connect the Somat
Power Cable (1-SAC-EPWR15-2) between the eDAQ
lite
Power connector and the
power supply. Use the red and black pigtails on the cable labeled “POWER” for the
main power connection: black to the negative or ground terminal and red to the
Communications Cable
