General Safety Instructions

Liability

The instruction manual at hand does not claim to address all safety issues
associated with the use of the instrument and samples. It is your
responsibility to establish health and safety practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations.

Anton Paar GmbH only warrants the proper functioning of mPDS 5 if no


adjustments have been made to the mechanics, electronics, and firmware.

Only use mPDS 5 for the purpose described in this instruction manual. Anton
Paar GmbH is not liable for damages caused by incorrect use of mPDS 5.

The results delivered by mPDS 5 not only depend on the correct functioning
of the instrument, but also on various other factors (e.g. harsh operating
conditions such as shock pressure, temperature changes, aggressive
samples etc.). Check the measuring results regularly by skilled personnel
(e.g. plausibility tested) and carry out readjustments if required.

Operation in Areas with Risk of Explosion

When using an intrinsically safe DPR(n)/SPRn/DSRn transducer, install the


IPS 501 (barrier) from Anton Paar between the mPDS 5 and the transducer.

Installation and Use

10

mPDS 5 is not an explosion-proof instrument and therefore must not be


operated in areas with risk of explosion.

The installation procedure should only be carried out by authorized


personnel who are familiar with the installation instructions.

Do not use any accessories or wearing parts to mPDS 5 other than those
supplied or approved by Anton Paar GmbH.

Make sure all operators are trained to use the instrument safely and correctly
before starting any applicable operations.

C48IB01B

2 Safety Instructions

In case of damage or malfunction, do not continue operating mPDS 5. Do


not operate the instrument under conditions which could result in damage to
goods and/or injuries and loss of life.

Do not install Anton Paar GmbH transducers or evaluation units in areas with
strong electromagnetic fields, as this can cause unstable measuring results.

mPDS 5 is a panel-mount instrument with an integrated touch screen.


Therefore it needs to be installed in one of the following:
-

a control panel,
a switch cabinet,
a housing delivered by Anton Paar.

Maintenance and Service

WARNING
Danger of being burnt. High capacity capacitor on CPU board!

Service and repair procedures may only be carried out by authorized


personnel or by Anton Paar GmbH.

A qualified person (e.g. an Anton Paar service engineer) is allowed to


replace the battery on CPU board by same type only (Lithium button cell 3V,
Anton Paar Mat.No. 61693).

For qualified persons only: To remove or replace the battery disconnect the
mPDS 5 from the power supply, wait for about 5 minutes until the mPDS 5
has cooled down and unscrew the CPU board to remove it from the rest of
the mPDS 5. The battery can now be replaced just by pushing it out of the
holder and pushing the new one in.

Disposal and Cleaning

Concerning the disposal of mPDS 5 observe the legal requirements in your


country.

The front of the mPDS 5 is designed to the degree of protection IP 54 and


may therefore be cleaned using a dry or moistened soft cloth. Any liquid
cleaner or spray must not be used.
It is recommended to switch the power off or to log off before cleaning the
touchscreen to avoid unwanted manipulations.
Do not clean the frame and the rear of the mPDS 5, these parts must be
protected from pollution by an extra IP 54 housing anyway.

3 mPDS 5 - An Overview

3 mPDS 5 - An Overview
mPDS 5 is a powerful evaluation unit for continuous measurement of density,
sound velocity, concentration and other properties of liquids in industrial
processes. It combines highest precision with easy operation and robust design.
mPDS 5 allows intuitive operation across a wide range by a touch screen user
interface.
The mPDS 5 is a modular unit with edge-mounted slots, equipped with boards for
various inputs and outputs. The whole range of Anton Paar process transduscers
can be connected (DPR/DPRn/SPR/SPRn/DSRn/Carbo Inline/Carbo 2100/
Carbo 2100 MVE). Analog inputs are used for additional physical quantities such
as conductivity, pH, oxygen, pressure, etc.
Features and Benefits

C48IB01B

Raw measuring values such as density, sound velocity and temperature are
converted to concentration results using a wide range of well approved,
accurate and reliable fomulas.

Specific formulas to calculate concentrations or other quantities in various


units are available.

Single or multiple process lines can be handled.

Changing the used formulas is done within a few seconds just by changing
the product number with a couple of taps on the screen.

Graphical output fields give you a quick view of your process.

Self explanatory functions for adjusting the measuring quantities to the


laboratory reference results.

Functions for user authorization, trouble shooting, diagnosis, backup of


instrument settings, audit trail, data export, etc.

6.2.1

mPDS 5 is Capable of Handling Multiple Process Lines

The above information mainly applies to single line systems and systems where
several lines are installed. A line consists of a set of transducers/sensors/digital
and analog in-/outputs, one or several products and other settings that only apply
to one specific line. E.g. a customer has 2 beverage production lines - one for
bottles one for cans - on each line he has installed a Brixmonitor with DRPn and
25 different products. The used inputs and outputs are different. E.g. Line 1 uses
input Transd.1 for the DPRn and line 2 uses Transd.2 for the DPRn etc.

C48IB01B

Adjusting the mPDS 5 to Laboratory Reference


Values

Liquids measured under process conditions using online measuring devices


sometimes give slightly different results compared to samples analysed with
laboratory reference instruments. Therefore it is recommended to calibrate and if
necessary adjust the mPDS 5 to the laboratory values. Interval depends on
application and customers requirements.
TIP

C48IB01B

We recommend to adjust only the final results such as concentration, ethanol, real
extract, ... If you adjust the basic raw values (e.g. density, temperature or sound
velocity) the derived concentration values are affected as well. Example: The
mPDS 5 uses the adjusted density value to calculate the concentration of
2-component liquids.
If the adjustment does not have the expected effect reset the adjustment and
adjust only one value per adjustment procedure.

35

8 Daily Routine Operations

It is recommended to perform the adjustment of the mPDS 5 only by using the


<Laboratory adjustment> function on the instrument. It is possible to directly enter
"Gain" and "Offset" values in the "Manual adjustment" menu (see chapter 8.2.3),
but this function should be applied by very experienced users only.
Tip

Note that the term calibration means comparing a measuring instrument with a
more accurate reference instrument without changing something.
Adjustment always means changing the reading by means of a software
adjustment parameter in the mPDS 5 ("Gain" or "Offset").

8.2.1

Adjustment According to Laboratory Values

The adjustment according to laboratory results is carried out in three steps:


1. Step 1: Open the laboratory adjustment screen by tapping <Laboratory
adjustment> in the buttons area on the main screen. When using a multiplpe
line system you have to choose the line you want to adjust.
Take a sample from the production line and simultaneously tap <Save
values> to save the current measurement values on the mPDS 5. The
values in the Laboratory adjustment screen are "frozen". The header
changes from "Current Value" to "Saved Value".
If you want to quit the adjustment screen tap <Main Screen>.

Fig. 8 - 2

Laboratory adjustment - step 1

2. Step 2: Analyse the sample in the laboratory and compare the values with
the saved values on the mPDS 5 ("calibration").

36

C48IB01B

8 Daily Routine Operations

Tip

If the deviation between the saved values and the laboratory reference
values is negligible (e.g. < 0.02 Brix for beverages, <0.05 % for 2component liquids, ...) quit the "Laboratory adjustment" screen by tapping
<Main Screen>. Repeat this calibration procedure any time according to your
calibration interval.

The user decides which deviations are acceptable and which are not. Example:
The target concentration is 10.3 % the limits are: Lo=10.15 %, Hi=10.45;
LoLo=10.05; HiHi=10.55 %. For such a product we would estimate that any
deviation between 0 ... 0.05 % is acceptable and an adjustment is not necessary.
Such a decision also depends on the accuracy of your laboratory reference
method.

If the deviation between the saved values and the laboratory reference
values is too high enter the laboratory reference values of the quantity you
want to adjust by tapping the "A" symbol in the corresponding line.
After entering the laboratory reference value, the pre-calculated gain-factor
will be displayed.

Fig. 8 - 3

Laboratory adjustment - step 2

3. Step 3: Finish the adjustment and save the new gain values by tapping
<Finish adjustment> in the buttons area. This can take a few seconds.
If the process values have been saved already and you tap <Save values> once
again, a screen appears which informs you that the old values will be overwritten.
Confirm the security query by tapping <Yes> if you want to repeat the entire
laboratory adjustment procedure.

8.2.2

Tips for the adjustment of certain product types

8.2.2.1

Product Types "Beer 1" and "Beer 2"

Product types "Beer 1"/"Beer 2" equal the former Beermonitor 2 and provide a
wide range of measuring values with different interconnections.
- The basic raw values of "Beer 1"/"Beer 2" are density, sound velocity,
temperature and in many cases CO2 Carbo. These values are normally not
adjusted.
- From these basic values the mPDS 5 derives "Density 20 C" and
"Ethanol %v/v 20C". These 2 quantities should be adjusted according to results
from a PBA-B (Packaged Beverage Analyser - Beer from Anton Paar ... Alcolyser/
DMA). When these 2 most important values match the laboratory results then all
other derived quantities must be correct as well and no additional adjustment is
required.
- From the adjusted "Density 20C" and "Ethanol %v/v 20 C" the mPDS 5
calculates: "Ethanol %w/w" , "Original Extract", "Real Extract" "Specific Gravity"
and "Present Gravity"
- From the adjusted "Ethanol %w/w" , "Original Extract", "Real Extract" "Specific
Gravity" the mPDS 5 calculates: "OriginalGravity", "Apparent Extract" , "Apparent
Deg. Ferm.", "Real Deg Ferm.", "Real Deg.Ferm.USA", "Calories USA" "Real
Ext./Eth. Ratio" and "Eth./Real Ext. Ratio".

38

C48IB01B

8 Daily Routine Operations

Tip

Note that there are 4 levels in the adjustment hierarchy of "Beer 1" and "Beer 2".
If you adjust a quantity in the highest level no other quantities are affected.
If values of a lower level are adjusted all higher level values could be affected.

8.2.3

Manual Adjustment

The manual adjustment of the mPDS 5 is only recommended for users who are
familiar with calculating the gain and offset value from reference laboratory values
according to the following equation e.g.:
concentration (adjusted) = concentration (raw) * gain + offset
The mPDS 5 uses the above equation for each adjustable quantity. Before
making any adjustment or after resetting the adjustment all "Gain" - factors are 1
and all "Offsets" are 0. Hence the adjusted values equal the raw values.
TIP

The mPDS 5 uses only the adjusted values for the main screen, the analog
interfaces and the PROFIBUS.
To enter the gain and offset values
1. Tap <Menu> and select "Adjustments > Manual adjustment".

Fig. 8 - 5

C48IB01B

Manual adjustment - selection of the quantity to be adjusted

39

8 Daily Routine Operations

2. Highlight the corresponding quantity and use the vertical scrollbar, if


necessary. Tap <Edit> in the buttons area.
TIP

We recommend to adjust only the final derived quantities e.g. concentration,


ethanol, extract. Adjusting the basic quantities (e.g. density, temperature, sound
velocity) automatically changes the derived ones.
3. Enter the new gain and/or offset values.

Fig. 8 - 6

Manual adjustment - entering the gain and offset values

4. Tap <Save adjustment> to save the settings and <Main Screen> to go back
to the main screen.
The manual adjustment can be aborted at any time by tapping <Back> or <Main
Screen> in the buttons area.

8.2.4

Reset Adjustment

If the concentration values after an adjustment are completely wrong or at least


far beyond the expected results, someone could have made a mistake while
entering the laboratory reference values (e.g. decimal point in the wrong position,
112.3 instead of 11.23 etc.). In such cases it is recommended to reset the
adjustment and start with a new laboratory or manual adjustment.
When resetting the adjustment in the menu "Reset Adjustment" all "gain" values
are set to "1" and all "offset" values are set to "0".

40

C48IB01B

8 Daily Routine Operations

To reset the adjustment


1. Tap <Menu> and select "Adjustments > Reset adjustment".
2. Confirm the question "Are you sure you want to reset the
adjustment of product ABC at line Line123?" with <Yes>.
3. The following message appears: "The adjustment of product ABC

Alarm Limits

Defining product-specific alarm limits is very important to make sure that your
production lies within specifications. If measurement values are out of these
limits, the background colour of the graphical and numerical fields will change
from white to yellow (warning) to red (alarm) and the symbol in the upper part of
the status area changes.
It is possible to set-up digital alarm outputs. Whenever a limit connected to such
an output is exceeded the output goes to "high" status. Hence an alarm lamp or
beeper (beacon) connected to this digital output would be activated. Whenever a
digital alarm output is active the status button on the touch screen goes to "alarm/
error".
For each measurement quantity 4 alarm limits are available: HiHi, Hi and LoLo,
Lo.
Defining limits
1. Tap <Menu> and select "Product Settings".

46

2. Highlight the corresponding product and tap <Edit product>.


3. Skip step 1 of 3 by tapping <Next>.
4. Enter the limits of the quantities which are most important for you. Enter
warning limits Lo/Hi and/or alarm limits LoLo/HiHi and activate the limit
monitoring function by tapping on the check box.

The mPDS 5 will display a warning status
symbol, if Lo or Hi limit is
exceeded. Additionally the graph changes its background color to yellow.

Original Extract has exceeded the HiHi limit (alarm)

In addition to the limit monitoring function described above it is possible to link one
or more limits to external devices via physical outputs (digital output or relay).
E.g. it is possible to use DIO 3 of the I/O board in slot 3 as warning output. Then
DIO 3 is high when the Lo/Hi limits of ethanol or original extract are exceeded. It
is possible to use DIO 4 of I/O board in slot 3 as alarm output. Then DIO 4 is high
when the HiHi/LoLo limits of ethanol or original extract are exceeded. Have a look
at your configuration sheets or use Davis 5 for further details.
Depending on the individual configuration, one or more digital/relay outputs could
be used for warning/alarm lamps, etc.
These "physical" alarms can be reset (=deactivated) for a certain time directly via
the message window.

Product Parameter "H2O-Correction", "Zero Diet"

Product types: "Beverages Diets" and "Beverages Diets/Col."


Product parameter "H2O-Correction" is used to compensate fluctuating water
quality for diet products. Connect a conductivity transmitter to the mPDS 5
(analog input) and set product parameter H2O-Correction accordingly.
Product parameter "Zero Diet" is used to get a reasonable initial "concentration
actual" in the range 0.25 ... 0.30 Brix.
Initial diet offset = Zero_diet + H2O-Correction * Conductivity
"Initial diet offset" is added to the initial "concentration actual".
"Concentration actual" is then copied to "Concentration Diet" ("Conc. Diet/Brix").
In a last step "Concentration Diet" ("Conc. Diet/Brix") is adjusted according to the
laboratory result e.g. in % Diet, or any other unit.

Control function
The program calculates the "Closing Time" using the "Density Ref. Temp."at the
beginning of the control cycle. If this "Density Ref. Temp." is greater then the "Set
Density [g/cm]", the digital output used for control is high for a certain time e.g.
controlling the adding of water.
"Closing Time" is calculated in the following way:
"Closing Time" = abs [P * ( TARG - DCOMP)] = abs [P * DEV.]

"Density Ref.Temp." = current density at reference temperature


Last deviation between "Set Density [g/cm]" and current "Density
Ref. Temp."

"Closing Time" is calculated at the beginning of each control cycle.


If "Closing Time" is greater than the "Cycle time[s]" "Closing Time" is set
to the "Cycle time[s]".
If the deviation between set and last density at reference temperature is
smaller than product parameter "Dead Zone" then the control output is low
and "Closing Time" is set to "0".
The digital output used for control is only closed if the current "Density
Ref. Dens." is greater than the "Set density[g/cm].

EXAMPLE: (using default values)

Current "Density Ref.Temp."

1.05005 g/cm

Set Density [g/cm]

P Factor

"Closing Time" is calculated as follows:


"Closing Time" = abs [120000 * (1.04998 - 1.05005)] = 8 seconds
The digital output used for control is "high" for 8 seconds within the "Cycle Time".
After 20 seconds "Closing Time" is calculated once again.

The mPDS 5 sets the digital output used for control to "high" for
"Closing Time" +/- 1 seconds. There is an uncertainty of about 1 second.
The shorter the cycle time the greater the relative influence of this uncertainty.
Special alarm function:
This product type uses a digital output as a special alarm output.
The alarm limits are derived from the following product parameters:
Lower limit = "Target Dens.[g/cm] - Tolerance[g/cm]
Upper limit = "Target Dens.[g/cm] + Tolerance[g/cm]
If the density at reference temperature ("Density Ref.Temp.") exceeds one of the
2 limits the digital output used for the alarm function gets "high".
Otherwise this output is "low". See configuration of the mPDS 5 for details.

Product Parameters "KA", "KB", ..., "KH", "Constant


A", "Constant B"

Product type: "DMA HPM"


When using an external cell DMA HPM the density is calculated via the following
formula:
Density[g/cm] = "Constant A" * Period - "Constant B"
The procedure to calculate "Constant A" and "Constant B" is described in the
manual attached to the external cells.
After having entered "Constant A" and "Constant B" it is possible to convert the
density to a concentration using the following polynomial:
Concentration =

KA + KB * dd + KC * dd2 + KD * dd3 + KE * dd4 + KF * dd5+


KG * dd6 + KH * dd7
"KA", ..., "KH" ........ polynomial coefficients
dd ... .. Density[g/cm]

The coefficients have to be stored by the user for each product separately.

Product Parameters "CA", "CB", "Ref. Temperature",


"Skim-Dens", "Skim-Fat", "Skim-Temp"

Product type: "Milk"


Skim Milk temperature compensation
Product Parameters "CA", "CB" and "Ref. Temperature" are required to convert
the density of skim milk to the temperature of cream/whole milk.
Default (recommended) values:
"CA" = 4*10-4
"CB" = 5*10-6
"Ref Temperature" =30

Skim milk adjustment


The calculation of the fat content of cream/whole milk is based on the density
difference between skim milk and cream/whole milk. Since the density of skim
milk changes with seasons and depending on the supplier of the raw milk, it is
necessary to carry out a skim milk adjustment on a regular basis.
For this purpose skim milk instead of or cream is pumped through the DPRn
transducer for at least 1 minute. As long as skim milk is in the DPRn the digital
input (used as adjustment input) must be set to "1" by a PLC. When this digital

60

C48IB01B

9 Product settings

input goes from "1" to "0" density and temperature are automatically stored as
"Skim-Dens" and "Skim-Temp". This finishes the skim milk adjustment procedure.
During this procedure "Concentration Fat" is set to "0".
The frequency of the skim milk adjustment must be found out empirically. As long
as the deviation to the laboratory reference lies within acceptable limits no skim
milk adjustment is necessary otherwise start an adjustment procedure.
In addition to the skim milk adjustment it is possible to perform a product specific
adjustment of the displayed "Concentration Fat".
The residual fat content of the skim milk can be entered as "Skim-Fat".
Example:
Density of cream: 0.9970 g/cm
Density of skim milk: 1.0241 g/cm ("Skim-Dens")
Temperature (skim milk="Skim-Temp"; cream = "Temp-C"): 45 C
"Offset" (of "Concentration Fat"): 0.12
"Skim-Fat": 0.24
From the density difference: 1.0241 - 0.9970 = 0.0271 g/cm the application
program calculates a fat content of 20%. Both the Offset (of "Concentration Fat")
and the fat content of skim milk "Skim-Fat" are added in a seconds step.
The mPDS 5 reads "Concentration Fat" = 20.36 %

In a first step the "Density Ref.Temp." is calculated using parameters "KA", "KB",
..... The mPDS 5 uses the same polynomial as described in chapter 9.4.3. The
following numbers are used as default ones matching the original mPDS 4000
program:
"KB(P9)" = 7.186*10-4
"KC(P10)" = 2.3*10-6
"KG" = 1
"Ref. Temp.[C]/P8" = 100

"Concentration Boron" in [ppm] is derived from "Density Ref.Temp." using the


following formula:
"Concentration Boron" = CA + CB * cd + CC * cd2 + CD * cd3 + CE * cd4
The following numbers are used as default ones matching the original
mPDS 4000 program:
"CA/C(5)" = -35535.953
"CB/C(4)" = -461198.34
"CC/C(3)" = 519918.03
cd = "Density Ref. Temp."
Out of compatibility reasons this product type also offers special alarm functions.
4 Alarms (Alarm 1, Alarm 2, Alarm 3 and Alarm 4) are generated and assigned to

Filter Settings

Typically mPDS 5 is delivered with deactivated filters. If one or more measuring


values are fluctuating too much, it is possible to activate a filter for each
measuring value independently.
The "weighted moving average filter" smoothes the related quantity and the
"spike filter" removes sudden spikes.
1. Tap <Menu> and select Product Settings.
2. Highlight the corresponding product and tap <Edit product>.
3. Skip the first 2 steps by tapping <Next> twice.
4. In step 3 of 3 you can define the product parameters and enter the filter
settings by tapping <Filter settings> in the buttons area.
5. First of all enter spike filter settings, "Filter Size" and "Amplitude" (see Fig. 9
- 5). The Amplitude is the maximum change compared to the last "Filter Size"
values in "%" before the spike filter gets active. In addition you have to check
the box of the corresponding measuring value. The allowed range is 0 <
"Filter Size" < 100 seconds and 0 < "Amplitude" < 100 %.

Fig. 9 - 5

Activating the spike filter for the Original Extract

E.g. during Start-up or if a valve is suddenly closed or opened, spikes might occur
in the graph of certain quantities (see Fig. 9 - 6). By defining a spike filter, such
spikes can be removed. The spike filter is defined by two parameters, "Filter Size"
in seconds and "Amplitude" in %. Fig. 9 - 6 and Fig. 9 - 7 show the behaviour for
"Filter Size"= 10 (sec) and Amplitude=5%. The spike filter compares the current
value with the last 10 values (seconds). If the current original extract value
deviates by more than 5 % from one of the 10 historical values, the last but one
value overwrites the current one. So a short spike will be cut out completely.
Normal fluctuations of below 5 % will be displayed in the corresponding graph.
TIP

C48IB01B

Do not set the "Amplitude" to very small numbers equal or below to the normal
fluctuations, otherwise the values will appear to be completely frozen. Do not
activate the spike filter if you are not sure about its function.

Activating a moving average filter for the original extract

If "Filter Size" is set to "20" like in Fig. 9 - 8 the filter averages the values of the
last 20 seconds. Instead of the raw unfiltered original extract value the mPDS 5
calculates and displays the arithmetic average original extract of the last 20
seconds. Fluctuations are considerably reduced.
TIP

The moving average filter increases the reaction time e.g. of alarm functions
related to these values. Enter the lowest "Filter Size" which smoothes the results
sufficiently.

12.1 User Groups, Auto Logon and Password Rules


User groups
There are four user groups which have different levels of user rights:
Symbol

User Group
Operator
This user group has the basic rights to perform adjustments,
to change the main screen layout and to export data.
Manager
This user group has the rights of the "operator" user group
and is allowed to additionally add, edit or delete products.
Administrator
This user group has the rights of the "manager" user group
and is allowed to access menu entries at a high security level:
Create and change all user accounts, change the general
setup of the instrument, activate/deactivate the audit trail
function and backup or restore the instrument settings. We
recommend that there is only one user with administrator
rights on each mPDS 5.
Guest or No user logged on
If you log on as "guest" or if the currently logged on user logs
off and there is no auto logon user, the mPDS 5 displays the
main screen and all menus are locked. It is possible to
change lines, to view the message list via status button and to
tap on the user group indicator in the upper right corner.

74

C48IB01B

12 Users Management

Auto logon function


You can assign the auto logon function to one user. See chapter 12.2. If you
power up the mPDS 5 the auto logon user is logged on. All instrument functions
according to user rights of the auto logon user are freely accessible.
TIP

Note that the auto logon user is activated without checking the password after
power failures and if any other user logs off. When the mPDS 5 is used in
sensitive applications do not use the auto logon function to have maximum
protection.
If the audit trail function is activated, the auto logon for all users is deactivated and
the auto logon function is no longer available.
Password rules
Giving a password is not mandatory. If you do not set a password, users can log
on by selecting their user name from the user list only.
A password has to contain at least one character. Characters from the ASCII table
which are letters, numbers and most special characters are allowed. The
password is not case sensitive, for example "Anton Paar" or "anton paar" does
not make a difference in the logon.

12.2 Creating, Editing and Deleting User Accounts


You need administrator rights to create, edit or delete user accounts.
TIP

C48IB01B

In addition to the maximum voltage the proper isolation of the connected
electrical circuits is crucial.
The power supply must lie in the range 24 V DC -15% +20 % and the maximum
power consumption of the mPDS 5 is 60 W.
NOTICE

Do not connect mPDS 5 to the power supply immediately after unpacking. Wait
for a few hours until mPDS 5 has adapted to the ambient temperature, then
activate.

The screw terminals for the power supply are located on CPU board always
in Slot 1 at the rear of mPDS 5.

DC 24 V+ positive terminal

DC 24 V- negative terminal

If operation of mPDS 5 could lead to dangerous situations, install an


emergency switch. The switch must be less than 1 m away from the
dangerous area.

The power supply connection must be permanent. When connecting the


supply cable, observe your national regulations and take local ambient
conditions into consideration. Use a strain relief suitable for the cable
diameter.

Connect the functional earth terminal marked with

on the rear of the mPDS 5 to the housing it is mounted in (Earth terminal of

The mPDS 5 provides only combined inputs/outputs. See configuration sheet


attached to each mPDS 5 to find out which interfaces are used as outputs and
which as inputs in your specific application.

WARNING
The external power supply for the digital outputs must be 24 V DC complying
with PELV. It must be an energy-limited electrical circuit:
- external fuse breaks overcurrent 8.3 A after not more than 120 s (e.g.

Error Relay

It is possible to use one relay described in chapter16.2.9 as error relay. In this


case the error relay closes when the mPDS 5 is powered up and the application
is running without any major problem.
Whenever an error occurs (status symbol = Alarm/error) the error relay opens.
Examples of errors affecting the error relay:

Tip:

Transducer disconnected or defective

Analog ouput: The assigned value does not lie within the specified scaling

The error relay is not affected by the product warning/alarm function indicating
that e.g. the concentration is out of specification.

16.2.10 Digital Inputs/Counter Inputs (Transducer and I/O


board)
The mPDS 5 provides only combined inputs/outputs. See attached configuration
sheet to find out which interfaces are used as outputs and which as inputs in your
specific application.

WARNING
The external power supply required for the digital inputs/counter inputs must
be 24 V DC complying with PELV. It must be an energy-limited electrical

Digital inputs detect the status of the connected signal (high or low). These
inputs are isolated from the mPDS 5.
A voltage signal must be connected to the "positive" (DI 1...12) and the
"ground" terminals ("0"=low: < 5 V; "1"=high > 15 V).
Its possible to use a passive switch between DIO+ and the required input.

"Hold" - function:
In many configurations digital input 1(of the Transducer board) is used to hold
("freeze") the concentration values. This means that as long as the hold-input is
high most results are frozen to the values when the hold-input changed from 0
to 1.
This feature typically is used for beverage applications during e.g. filler stopped
conditions. When the hold-input goes to 0 the concentration values are updated
again after a certain delay time. The delay time can be changed via Davis 5.

Each mDPS 5 with PROFIBUS board is delivered with a configuration data


sheet. It specifies the configuration of the input and output data blocks
required for the cyclical data exchange via PROFIBUS.

The CD supplied with each mDPS 5 contains the required GSD file with
several different modules. When integrating the mPDS 5 into your PLC
PROFIBUS project (e.g. Simatic manager) you must select one input module
and one output module as specified on the configuration data sheet.

Set the correct PROFIBUS address on the mPDS 5 as expected by the PLC,
otherwise no communication is possible.

17.2 Installation of the PROFIBUS Board in a


PROFIBUS Network (Siemens Simatic S7-300)
TIP

TIP

This example does not claim to address all the issues involved. To
completely understand the information, comprehensive knowledge of the
used hardware and software and the tools on the PC is required. This
knowledge cannot be imparted within the framework of this instruction
manual.
There is exactly one input and one output data block used to exchange
information between the mPDS 5 and the PROFIBUS master(PLC).
Terminology: Input means input to the PLC and output of the mPDS 5 and
vice versa.

Every PROFIBUS hardware and software is different. The information and


instructions given here therefore need to be adapted to the different system
configurations.
The software used in the example is "SIMATIC STEP 7 Version 5.4, Siemens for
project development".
1. Use Extras > Install new GSD file... to add the mPDS 5 from the supplied
USB flash Drive to the list in the right hand view. The name of the GSD file is
AP_0AD3.GSD. After this installation the following item will appear:
"Profibus-DP > "Additional field instruments > "General > "Anton Paar >
with
the
module
"mPDS5_Profibus_Module".
Drag
the
icon
"mPDS5_Profibus_Module" to the PROFIBUS DP rail and define the
PROFIBUS address.
2. If you open the submenu attached to the mPDS5_Profibus_Module you must
see several input modules and several output modules.
Drag the required input module to slot 1 in the lower left hand view.(e.g.
"IN128 mPDS5>PLC")
3. Drag the required output module to the first free slot in the lower left hand
view.(e.g.and "OUT128 PLC>mPDS5). This choice must match the settings
on the mPDS 5 otherwise proper communication via PROFIBUS is not
possible. See configuration data sheet of mDPS 5.

Tip:

106

Use exactly one input module and one output module to be able to use the mPDS
5 in PROFIBUS network. Do not use the "Universal module"!

C48IB01B

17 PROFIBUS communication with a PLC

17.3 Cyclical Input Data Block


The input data block is used to transfer information from the mPDS 5 to a PLC!
The size of the input data block is defined for all product types and all lines of one
mPDS 5 during installation of the mPDS 5 in a PROFIBUS network. During
configuration of the mPDS 5 measuring values are assigned to the input data
block for each product type separately. See attached configuration sheet for
details. The measuring values are transferred in the basic unit which mainly
corresponds to the SI unit of this quantity (Exception: temperature ... [C], CO2 ...
[g/l] )
Tip:

The mPDS 5 is able to deal with 1 ... 4 production lines and therefore the input
data block is shared between the available lines.
The first byte of the input data block is used as general mPDS 5 status byte.

17.4 Cyclical Output Data Block


The output data block is used to transfer information from the PLC to the mPDS
5!
It is used e.g. to set the product number, to change parameters, to simulate digital
inputs, etc....
The size of output data block is defined for all product types and all lines of one
mPDS 5 during installation of the mPDS 5 in a PROFIBUS network. Measuring
values have to be transferred in the basic unit which mainly corresponds to the SI
unit of this quantity (Exception: temperature ... [C], CO2 ... [g/l] )
Tip:

The mPDS 5 is able to deal with 1 ... 4 production lines and therefore the output
data block is shared between the available lines.

Writing parameters:
After writing parameters via the output data block to the mPDS 5 and sending the
acknowledge command ("enter") it is compulsory to wait at least 2 seconds before
writing the next parameters. During these 2 or more seconds the output data
block must not be changed.
Reading parameters:
It is possible to read parameters from the mPDS 5. For this reason the PLC must
tell the mPDS 5 via the output data block which parameters (index and type) it
wants to read. Each new request must be terminated with an acknowledge
command ("enter"). The mPDS 5 then sends the requested parameters in the
input data block back to the PLC. These parameters are part of the input data
block until a new request has been sent.

Composition of the Output Data Block for a Multiple


Line mPDS 5 and Different Output Data Block Sizes

The output data block is shared between all installed lines. Each line gets exactly
the same memory space - in some configurations some bytes are not used at the
end of the output data block.

The number of measuring values that can be transferred from the PLC to the
mDPS 5 depends on the number of lines installed on the mPDS 5. See table
below. Each measuring value needs 4 bytes.
Number of
lines on one
mPDS 5

Number of measuring values to be


transferred from the PLC to the mPDS 5

A fixed number of 4 parameters can be requested from the mPDS 5 and are
part of the output data block. 2 Bytes are needed for each requested parameter.
The number of parameters that can be changed depends on the number of
lines and on the size of the output data block. For each parameter it is necessary
to send index, type and value (6 bytes per parameter).

Simulating Digital Outputs

When a PLC is connected via PROFIBUS it doesnt make sense to connect digital
outputs from the PLC to digital inputs of the mPDS 5 additionally. So the PLC can
simulate digital outputs by setting certain bits of the output data block. Two bytes
of the output data block are used for this purpose.
The mPDS 5 configuration data sheet tells you which virtual digital outputs are
assigned to which digital input channels of the mPDS 5. The function of the digital
signals should be clear by the used name (e.g. "Hold", ...)

17.4.6

Indices of Measuring Values and Parameters

To transfer or read parameters related to measuring values (limits, offsets,...) or


product parameter you need to know the index of the measuring value / the index
of the product parameter. You find all indices in the tables in chapters 7
(measuring values) and chapters 9.4 (product parameters) columns "Profibus
Index".

17.5 Application Examples for PLC/PROFIBUS


17.5.1

Selecting a new product

To select a new product use Bytes 0 and 1 from the output data block. It is not
necessary to send an additional acknowledge command.
You can read back the current product (number) from the input data block bytes
4 and 5.
TIP

To avoid confusion make sure that the PLC is the only device changing the
product number. No external switch should be connected and the product
selection function in the main screen must not be used.

17.5.2

Changing Product Parameters

It is possible to change product parameters using the cyclical output data block.
Write index, type and value into the output data block in the right place and send
an additional acknowledge command.

20.1 Message List - Inactive Output fields

If an error occurs, the symbol in the upper right corner of the status area
changes.

Status = ok
Instrument and measuring values are within warning/alarm
limits

Status = Warning
e.g. One or more warning limits exceeded, special
warnings could come up reminding the user to carry out a
maintenance e.g. on a Carbo CO2 analyser
Status = Error
- mPDS 5 errors (configuration, etc. )
- one or more alarm limits exceeded
- transducer disconnected or defective

Message list example

20 Troubleshooting

Tap the status button to open the message list window. Messages are self
explanatory. To close the message list window tap on the "X" in the upper right
corner.
TIP

If you want to export the current message list to a USB flash drive use menu
"Service > Message List Export".
If an exceeded limit is linked to a physical alarm output (DIO or Relay) a reset
button is shown right beside the message.
You can reset (=deactivate) the physical alarm for a certain time by tapping on
this field.
If a sensor/transducer is defective or not connected, related measuring
quantities are invalid and instead of the expected value the string inactive is
displayed in the output field. E.g. if an mPDS 5 is set up for a DSRn and the
DSRn is defective or not connected all output field linked to density/sound
velocity/temperature will read inactive.
You find below examples of common error messages and suggestions of
corrections.

Error message

Cause

Correction

DSRn
No sensor connected

No signal at the Transducer


input 1 or 2.

Check the connecting cable.

DSRn
Unexpected sensor type
found

The mPDS 5 expects a DSRn


to be connected - a DPRn or
SPRn was connected instead

Change the configuration of the


mPDS 5 to match the connected
sensor=transducer type or connect
a DSRn transducer.

Original Extract
Upper alarm limit exceeded

Original extract has exceeded


the HiHi Limit (=upper alarm
limit)

The production is out of


specifications - bring the original
extract into the allowed range by
e.g. adding more water.

Ethanol %v/v 20 C
Upper warning limit
exceeded

Ethanol %v/v 20 C has


exceeded the Hi Limit (=upper
warning limit)

The production is out of


specifications - bring the ethanol
%v/v 20 C concentration into the
allowed range by e.g. adding more
water.

If you want detailed information on a single input/output tap <Menu> and select
"Service> Diagnosis". You get a list of available alarms (e.g. Alarm1, Alarm2,...),
Anton Paar transducers (e.g. DSRn), connected 4-20 mA transmitters (e.g.
conductivity), connected digital input signal (e.g. Hold) ... etc. Select the item you
want to get detailed information about and tap <Details> in the buttons area.

20 Troubleshooting

TIP

C48IB01B

Take a close look at "PTE5-State"!


AP transducers such as the DPRn/SPRn/DSRn ... give an additional status
information ("PTExxx -state"), which is very important to check:

"...State" = 0 .... Transducers running OK


The raw values are valid and represent the current ones received from the
transducer.

"...State" = 1 .... Transducer drop-out, you get the last raw values before the
drop out. They do not represent the current values from the transducer!

"...State" = 2 .... Wrong transducer type, connected transducer does not


match the expected one. Some or all raw values do not represent the current
values from the transducer!

"...State" = 8 .... CRC error detected in the data coming from the transducer.
Some or all raw values are not valid!
