Design and Mode of Operation
2 Design and Mode of Operation
The following chapter describes the mechanical and electrical design as well
as the recorder components.
2.1 Summary
The recorders are designed as panel mounted instruments with a format

144 mm x 144 mm.
Installation without interspacing is possible in panels and mosaic systems with
sufficient ventilation.
The modern recorders have digital data processing. Measured values are
recorded serially in channels and with solid state technology.
As a result of the exclusive use of step motors, the drive system for recording
operates completely without contacts. This technology permits a wide range of
applications and high functional reliability.
Fig. 2.1-1 and Fig. 2.1-2 show views of the recorder. The mode of operation of
the recorders is explained down to the block chart level using Fig. 2.2-1.

2.2 Recorder Components
2.2.1 Housing
The housing is made of sheet-steel. The chassis and the chart carriage are
present at the front, the measuring module, the central processing unit, parts of
the power supply and the options are located at the rear. The housing is
mounted in the panel, mosaic system or desk upright panel using the supplied,
standardized mounting elements.
2.2.2 Measured-value Acquisition
Measured-value acquisition consists of a multiplexer with semiconductor

relays and an analog-to-digital converter. The input ranges are set specifically
for each channel using jumpers. The channels are electrically isolated from
one another by staggered control of the semiconductor relays.
Control is handled by the central processing unit. All channels to be measured
during a cycle are connected to the input amplifier in succession via the
individual semiconductor relays. The amplified signal is applied to an analog-
to-digital converter which operates according to the dual-slope procedure.
In order to permit equally accurate measurements in sensitive ranges,
reference measurements are carried out cyclically in the recorder version with
universal measuring ranges. A cyclic check is also carried out for open-
circuits.
The terminal block also contains a sensor for measuring the terminal
temperature when carrying out temperature measurements using
thermocouples.
2.2.3 Central Processing Unit
The central processing unit is the heart of the electronics. It contains a

microprocessor as well as the program memory (EPROM), main memory
(RAM) and non-volatile memory (EEPROM) for configuration data.
Central component of the processing section is a microprocessor system with
firmware. This is used, inter alia, for:
T
T
Sequence control
T
Calculation of measured values
T
Positioning of pen assemblies
T
Evaluation of input commands
Use of PC interface.
The central processing unit permits control of the module "Digital
input/output" and the PC interface.

A crystal-controlled calendar/clock with external synchronization facility

provides the date and time as a reference for sets of measured values and the
chart.
The central processing unit is located at the rear of the housing and is
accessible from the front following removal of the chassis. It contains the
plugs for connection of the other modules.
2.2.4 Power Supply
The recorders have different designs on the input side as a result of the four
different power supplies which can be ordered.
AC 230 V or The mains power supply is connected to the recorder via an appliance plug
AC 115 V with subsequent fuses, filter and transformer. The stepped down AC voltage is
rectified, filtered and applied to DC/DC converters which generate the
required internal DC voltages.
Note
The recorder must only be connected to the envisaged power supply. Observe
the corresponding note on the rear of the recorder.
DC 24 V The DC 24 V supply connected via the terminals is applied via a fuse to a

power inverter whose output is connected to a transformer. The secondary side
of the transformer is connected as in the recorder version with a mains power
supply.
AC 24 V The AC 24 V supply connected via the terminals is applied via a fuse to the
primary side of the transformer. The secondary side is connected as in the
recorder version with a mains power supply.
2.2.5 Chassis
The chassis contains the chassis support, control PCB, recording system, user
interface, PC interface and chart carriage. The chassis is connected to the
central processing unit via a multi-conductor ribbon cable with plug. The cable
length is such that the chassis can be completely removed from the housing
without loosening the connection.
Chassis support This is the support for the motors of the recording system, the control PCB,
user interface and PC interface. The chart carriage latches into the chassis
support and can be removed at any time using lever 2, e.g. to replace the chart.

Control "PCB" The control PCB contains the power electronics for the step motors of the
drives as well as the light barrier for detection of the carriage zero points. It
also contains a microswitch for recognizing the end of the chart paper, and
several microswitches which are activated using the levers.
Clock backup Only versions with alphanumeric text: the clock backup consists of a backup
battery and capacitor. If a battery is not present, or if the chassis is separated
from the central processing unit, the capacitor buffers the internal clock for
approx. 5 minutes. The status of the clock buffer is checked when the power
supply is switched on.
The support for the backup battery is present on the control PCB and
accessible following removal of the chassis.
Recording system The recording system consists of up to seven step motors depending on the
recorder version. These are used for:
T
T
Chart drive
Positioning of the pens (L/LA version)
T
or the recording head (P/PA version) in the x-direction
Lifting of pens (L/LA version)
T
or recording head (P/PA version) and
LA version: positioning of pen for text channel in x- and y-directions
Chart carriage The chart carriage permits fanfold packs or rolls to be used as the chart paper.
A take-up spool is required when using rolls (included in delivery). In
addition, the chart carriage must be adapted when changing from fanfold paper
to rolls. The required operations are described in Section 6 "Servicing and
Maintenance".
User interface The user interface consists of four levers and two LEDs underneath the chart
carriage. A further lever is present on the side of the chassis and is only visible
when the chassis is in maintenance position.
Mechanical operations are directly activated by two of the four levers
underneath the chart carriage. The other two levers can be used for two
different actions each by moving the respective lever to the left or right. The
TEST menu can activated and switched off again using the switch which is
accessible on the side of the chassis.
Green and red LEDs indicate different recorder statuses depending on how
they are activated (on, off, flashing).
PC interface The recorders are equipped with a PC interface. A laptop or PC can be

connected via a special adapter cable. Convenient parameterization of the
recorder is possible via the PC interface using a Windows desktop (SIPROM
R). In addition, measured values, alarm statuses, date/time and chart feed A or
B can also be scanned.

Fig. 2.2-1 Block diagram of the recorders

2.3 Mode of Operation
As a result of the many different possible uses, the recorders are delivered
preset to the basic setting of 4 to 20 mA.
Customer-specific presetting is also possible as required. The recorder can
then be used immediately following installation and commissioning. It is
additionally possible to easily change the parameter settings of the recorder via
the user or PC interface, thus permitting optimum and subsequent adaptation
to the monitored process.
The values measured cyclically by the recorder are amplified, digitized and
processed further by a microprocessor system.
In addition to processing of the measured values, the microprocessor system is
responsible for sequence control, self-test, event processing, communication
via the PC interface, control of the step motors of the recording system,
feedbacks from the recording system and the user interface.
The microprocessor system converts the measured value into positioning
commands for the recording system. The recording system draw a continuous
line on the chart paper. You can adjust the measuring and recording ranges
such that the signal is recorded with an optimum resolution and display. It is
also possible to define limits which are constantly recorded in the LA version
as vertical lines. The recorders with alphanumeric text can output an alarm text
if the limit is violated. The number of limits and the alarm function can be
parameterized within wide ranges. If the recorder is equipped with the digital
input/output option, the alarms can be output for further processing.
Recorders with alphanumeric text can output a measured-value table, event
text and recorder text cyclically or event-controlled. The texts must be entered
previously via the user or PC interface when setting up the recorder. The
outputs are made depending on the recorder parameters.

unit.
The output signals (DO1 to DO6) of the digital outputs are externally available
at the interface electrically isolated either via opto isolators or via relays
depending on the version.
T Electronic version: the output signals are generated by short-circuit-
resistant semiconductor switches. The switches are controlled via opto
isolators. The semiconductor switches must be powered via an external
voltage source since they are electrically isolated from the basic device.
T Relay version: the electrical isolation is provided by relays whose
changeover contacts are externally available.
2.6.2 DC 24 V Output
The DC 24 V output option can be used for the following purposes:

In the case of the electronic version, the semiconductor switches separated

from the basic electronics by opto-isolators must be powered from an external
24-V source. If the recorder is equipped with a DC 24 V output (option), this
voltage source can be used as an alternative, taking into account the technical
data (Fig. 3.7-2).
Synchronization of The recorder can synchronize the internal calendar/clock of several devices as
several recorders slaves using a digital input/output. To achieve synchronization, any output of
the digital input/output can be used on the master, and the input DI4 on the
slave. Parameterization is described in Section 4.5.4.

Elektronic version Relay version
Fig. 3.7-1 Connection of digital input/output

Fig. 3.7-2 Example of connection for digital input/output
Explanations on Fig. 3.7-2:

The example shows two recorders with the digital input/output option.
The digital input/output of the top recorder is powered by its own DC 24 V
option output.
The internal calendar/clock is synchronized for the two recorders. The

required synchronization signal is provided via input DI4 by e.g. a master
clock. The clocks of both recorders are set to 3:00 a.m. when the positive edge
of the 24-V pulse arrives. The date remains unchanged.
In addition to this, the digital output DO1 (alarm) of the top recorder triggers a
lamp.

3.8 DC 24 V Output
Following installation of the option "DC 24 V output" by the manufacturer or

by personnel trained by the manufacturer, a bipolar terminal (Fig. 3.8-1) is
available at the rear of the recorder with a floating output for the supply of
external components. The following connections are permissible since the
current output is limited to max. 75 mA:
T Up to three two-wire transmitters with a current consumption of ≤ 25 mA
T
each
Digital input/output
Note
If several two-wire transmitters are powered, these must be connected together
on one side and are thus not electrically isolated from one another. For noise
reasons (differences in potential), this arrangement is only meaningful for
transmitters which are close together. When additionally using the digital
input/output, observe whether switching transients occur, and their effect.

DC 24 V output option (L version, DC 24 V design)

3.9 Starting Up the Recorder
All recorder settings have already being made in the factory if the recorder has
been delivered according to customer specifications.
The standard settings have been made for recorders delivered without
customer specifications. The standard settings are listed in Section 4
"Operation" in the respective subsections.
If you are not acquainted with the recorder, it is recommendable to start with
simple measurements after working through Sections 1 to 4. Measurements
with the standard settings are most appropriate initially.


Operation
4 Operation
The following chapter describes how to operate the recorders.
Note
Replacing the chart and the battery for backing up the clock are described in
Section 6.
You are guided by menus when operating the recorders. The menus provide
information in the form of a table on the respective functions or values for an
input (leaflet "Parameterization – a concise overview").
The input menus consist of several elements which are comprised in turn of
menu code numbers and designations.
In the first input step (selection of row) you decide which function or
parameter is to be called. The red LED lights up.
In the second step (selection of column) you can define or modify the
corresponding setting of the recorder. The red LED flashes.
The input of a menu code number is terminated by ENTER.
You can scroll through the menu using the INC/DEC functions.
4.1 Display and Control Elements
Operation is carried out using four horizontal levers located below the chart
carriage (Fig. 4.1-1). A further lever is present on the side of the chassis. Two
colored LEDs which are also located below the chart carriage serve to support
you when setting up the recorders and for the output of status messages. In
recorders with alphanumeric text, status messages are additionally printed on
the chart paper by means of the text channel (LA version) or the recording
head (PA version) (Section 5).
The PC interface, which is designed as a flat plug, is located between the
service lever and lever 1. It is possible to connect a laptop to this plug in order
to carry out PC-controlled parameterization.

Operation
4.3 Levers
The levers have different effects. The black service lever and lever 2 act
directly on the mechanics. The other levers act on microswitches whose
signals are processed by the central processing unit. The levers are used for
recording, START, STOP or PAUSE OFF, PAUSE ON, high chart speed and
recorder settings via the PROG and TEST menus.
Feedbacks for the user when setting up the recorders are via the LEDs and the
positions of the pens/recording head. The rows and columns of the PROG and
TEST menus designed in tabular form directly correspond to the value of the
parameterization scale, i.e. a scale value of 15 % corresponds to row 15 or
column 15 depending on the status of the red LED.
The levers are assigned different functions during operation, PAUSE and
when setting up the recorder. Fig. 4.3-1 shows a summary of the lever
functions. These functions are described in detail in the following sections.

Operation
4.5.1 Chart Feed
P[0], P[10] The parameters for chart feed A or B can be used to define two combinable
Chart feeds A, B speeds for the chart paper. The selectable values are listed in Fig. 4.5-2 .
P[5], P[15] Chart feed A and/or B can be linked to a condition if required so that the chart
Condition feed changes dependent on an event. The possible conditions are shown in Fig.
4.5-2.
Event-dependent The recorder selects chart feed A when switched on. The event sources are
chart feed also processed even if recording is switched off.
Note
The currently active status is retained if no conditions are fulfilled for chart
feeds A and B or if both conditions are fulfilled simultaneously. A change is
made to chart feed B if the condition set for it is fulfilled. The same applies to
a change from B to A.
If an alarm is assigned to a channel, it is reset if the channel is switched off

(mode OFF).
See Section 4.7.1 for setting example.
Fig. 4.5-2 Programmable parameter "Chart feed"

Operation
Details on L/LA version:

selection of Switching over commences with a marker in the form of small horizontal lines
chart feed on the curves and a fast feed of at least 7 mm such that a setting on the main
time lines – if set – is retained. Small horizontal lines are then again drawn on
the curves, and the recording commences with the new chart feed. At the same
time, the text channel of the LA version starts to write a chart switching line.
Note
If the chart feed is switched over too frequently in succession, the recording
system would be overloaded and the measured values lost. Therefore the
recorder switches over again at the earliest after approx. 30 s.
P/PA version:
The continuous recording is interrupted, and the subsequent measured values
are buffered. If switching over is triggered by an alarm, a line is initially
written with the alarm text, a chart feed is then carried out, and a chart
switching line is written. The buffered values are then traced with the new
chart speed. The relationship to the main time line is not lost by the chart feed.
The following example clarifies the mode of operation of chart feeds A and B
with condition.
Example Chart feed A is set to 20 mm/h [P0.30]. The condition is present at "Input DI2"
[P5.70].
Chart feed B is set to 120 mm/h [P10.40]. The condition is at "/Input DI2"
[P15.75].
Result:
The chart feed is 20 mm/h in measuring mode if the signal at input DI2 is
"High". The chart feed is switched over to 120 mm/h if the signal changes to
"Low". This status is retained until DI2 changes to "High" again. The chart
feed then returns to 20 mm/h.
4.5.2 Measured-value Table (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
P[20] Measured- The recorder prints a measured-value table (Fig. 5.2-1 "Example recording for
value table LA version" or Fig. 5.2-2 "Example recording for PA version") as required
with the following information, if relevant:
T
T
Date and time
T

Symbol for open-circuit
Status of alarms assigned to the channel.
Printing can be triggered cyclically or event-controlled.
Parameterization is carried out according to Fig. 4.5-3.

Operation
Printing the L/LA version:

measured-value The graphic recording is not interrupted when printing the measured-value
table table, i.e. the 2nd and 3rd lines are only printed if the chart feed has reached a
full line height since the last line. If a further trigger function for a measured-
value table or an event text arrives whilst a table is being printed, this is only
commenced when the table has been completely printed and the chart feed has
reached a full line height since the last line.
P/PA version:
Printing of the measured-value table interrupts the continuous trace (the
measured values are buffered, and printed later).
A trigger condition only leads to printing of the measured-value table if a table
is not already in the buffer or being currently printed out when the trigger
condition occurs.
The printout of the measured-value table always coincides with a time mark if
it is carried out cyclically. The first line of the measured-value table is omitted
in this case. The minimum distance between two cyclic printouts is 10 mm.
The measured values at the printed time are stored in intermediate memory
before being output. Only those channels are printed out for which
"Measuring" or "Recording" has been selected.
See Section 4.7.2. for setting example.

Operation

4.5.3 Parameterizing the Analog Channels
The channel-specific variables are set using the parameters for channel
(analog), mode, measuring range, sensor, connection, left value, right value,
open-circuit and damping.
P[25] Analog This is used to select the number of the analog channel you wish to
channel parameterize. The channel number is preceded by the symbol "#" in the
printouts, e.g. #1.
L/LA version:
The recorders have one to three analog channels: #1, #2, #3. The associated
pen is activated following selection of the channel.
The following table lists the channel assignments:

Operation
P[30] Mode You can use this parameter to select the "Measuring" or "Recording" mode for
the selected channel (Section 4.5.3). Select "Off" if the measuring and
recording modes are to be switched off. In "Measuring" and "Recording "
modes, the associated channel is scanned cyclically. The alarm is generated by
comparing the measured value with the set alarm value.
In "Recording" mode, the measured values are additionally recorded by the
recording system.
Fig. 4.5-5 Summary of parameter "Channel (analog), Mode"

Operation
P[35] Measuring The measuring ranges are selected according to the set input range (Section
range 3.6).
The recording range (left value, right value) is fixed to the measuring range
limits for certain standard ranges (Fig. 4.5-6) and cannot be changed.
With the other measuring ranges, you can enter the start-of-scale and full-scale
values yourself within the range limits. Table 4.5-3 shows the possible values
for the set ranges.
Fig. 4.5-6 Summary of parameter "Channel (analog), Measuring range"

Operation
P[40] Sensor The parameter "Sensor" is used to define the type of sensor when using
thermocouples or resistor thermometers. The associated linearization values
are automatically taken into account during measured-value processing.
The appropriate operating range of the sensor must be selected when using
resistors, potentiometers or sensors with a voltage output.
The possible settings are shown in Fig. 4.5-7.
Fig. 4.5-7 Summary of parameter "Channel (analog), Sensor"

Operation
P[45] Connection This parameter is used to select the input for the reference temperature when
measuring with thermocouples. Select the desired reference point from Fig.
4.5-8.
TC With the setting "Ref.: internal", the temperature of the input terminals is used
as the reference.
Select the setting "Ref.: 0 °C to Ref.: 70 °C" if the external reference point is
held stable at one of the corresponding temperatures. The reference point can
be measured via a further input if the temperature varies.
In this case, select the settings "Ref.: #1" to "Ref.: #6".
RTD, R, Pot. You can select either a three-wire or two-wire connection (Section 4) for
measurements via resistance thermometers, resistors and potentiometers.
Select "RL: 10 Ω" in the case of a two-wire system with adjustment of the line
resistance to 10 Ω.
Select "RL: 0 Ω" if the line resistance is negligibly small.

Operation
P[50] Left value The recording range can be set within limits using the parameters "Left value"
P[55] Right value and "Right value", apart from certain standard measuring ranges (Fig. 4.5-9).
The factory-set recording ranges are listed in Table 4.5-3 (default settings for
left value/right value).
The recording range is set numerically for the inputs "Left value" and "Right
value". The input refers to the set measuring range and is set in a uniform
manner. The sign is entered first, followed by 4 digits separated by a decimal
point. If modifications are necessary, only the associated digits or the sign are
overwritten. If illegal inputs are made, adaptation is automatically made
according to the measuring range.

Operation
P[60] Open-circuit Only recorders with universal measuring ranges. Monitoring is carried out for
an open-circuit in the mV measuring ranges and the TC ranges based on them.
As soon as the internal resistance of the sensor exceeds a certain value, the
recording is continued on the left of the 0 % line in the case of the setting
"< 0 %" (Fig. 4.5-11), and on the right of the 100 % line in the case of
"> 100 %". The recorders with alphanumeric text additionally output the event
"Open-circuit" in the measured-value table (Section 4.5.2) printed on the chart
paper.
An open-circuit is not detected in the setting "OFF".

Fig. 4.5-11 Example of display with open-circuit for L/LA versions

Operation
P[65] Damping The damping is determined by the time constant of a 1st order low-pass via
which the signal connected to the input terminals of the recorder is filtered.
The output signal of the low-pass is an exponential function following a jump
in the signal at the input. The time constant defines how long it takes until the
output signal has attained 63.2 % of the stationary final value. Set 0 s for
output of unfiltered measured values.
The damping must be set individually for each channel. With the setting
"auto", the damping is automatically adapted to the chart feed. The basic
setting is 0 s. The following Figure shows the parameterizable time constants.
Fig. 4.5-12 Summary of parameter "Channel (analog), Damping"

Operation
4.5.4 Parameterizing the Digital Channel (only LA version)
P[70] Channel The recorder has two digital channels in addition to the three (LA version) or 6
(digital) (P/PA version) analog channels. An alarm (Section 4.5.5) or a digital input
(Section 4.7) can be selected as the source. The binary signals of the digital
inputs are displayed as a square-wave signal at defined chart positions (Table
4.5-4):
Table 4.5-4 Chart positions of channels (digital)

Channel #1d Channel #2d
Logical 0 ("Low") 81 % 91 %
Logical 1 ("High") 89 % 99 %
The digital channels are recorded in the LA version by the mechanical system
of the text channel. Edges from logical 0 to 1 and logical 1 to 0 as well as
peaks are recorded as continuous lines. Constant signal sequences are recorded
as dashed lines.
Fig. 4.5-13 shows the possible parameters.
Fig. 4.5-13 Summary of parameter "Channel (digital)"

Operation
4.5.5 Alarm
The recorder permits the programming of up to six alarms, each of which is

assigned to a fixed output of the digital input/output (option) (Table 3.7-2).
T
T
DO1 Alarm A1
T
DO2 Alarm A2
T
DO3 Alarm A3
T
DO4 Alarm A4
T
DO5 Alarm A5
DO6 Alarm A6
A set alarm becomes active in "Measuring" or "Recording" mode if the set

limit is violated.
The assignments of the alarms to the individual channels, mode and alarm
value are freely selectable. The settings always commence with selection of an
alarm.
P[80] Alarm The parameter "Alarm" is used to select one of the available alarms A1 to A6
to which the mode, channel and value apply in a subsequent setting.
P[85] Mode The parameter "Mode" can be used to define whether the alarm is to be
triggered when "MIN" is fallen below or "MAX" exceeded.
With the LA version, limit lines can be drawn parallel to the time axis. These
lines are vertical and approx. 1 mm long. The spacing between the individual
lines is reduced by half if the limit is violated. The lines are drawn by the
mechanical system of the text channel. The alarm symbol, the associated alarm
number, the channel number or the Σ character (with the setting "All channels"
are written cyclically next to the limit lines. The limit line can be set for each
alarm using the parameter "MIN with line" or "MAX with line".
No limit lines can be drawn with the P/PA version.
In the setting "Status" (only available in recorders with option "Digital
input/output"), recorder readiness is signalled if all of the following conditions
are fulfilled:
T
T
Power supply present
T
PROG menu not switched on
T
TEST menu not switched on
T
Recording started
T
Chart paper present
Last adjustment of recording system fault-free.
Use of the status message is particularly meaningful if the recorder cannot be

directly viewed.
L/LA version:
A control signal is output in the position "Time mark" (only available in
recorders with option "Digital input/output") at the start of the zero
adjustment. This signal can be used to synchronize the cyclic zero adjustment
of several recorders using this one as the master.

Operation
An alarm is not output in the position "OFF". All alarms are switched off in
the basic setting.
P[90] Channel The 6 alarms can be freely assigned to the individual analog channels. The
basic setting is as follows:
T
Line recorders:
T
Alarms A1 and A2 to channel 1
T
T
Multipoint recorders:
T
Alarm A1 to channel 1
T
T
T
T
A further possibility is the assignment of a common alarm to the channels in

the setting "All channels" and applies to the channels for which "Measuring"
or "Recording" mode has been selected. The alarm is triggered if the value is
exceeded (MAX) or fallen below (MIN) for at least one of the channels.
P[95] Value The setting "Alarm, Value" is used to define the percentage with respect to the
recording range at which the alarm to be triggered. The selectable range of
values is identical to the recording range and can be set in steps approx. 0.1 %.
Example:
Recording range: Left value = 80 °C
Right value = 180 °C
Alarm value = 40 % (min)
=> The alarm value is triggered by a temperature below 120 °C.

Operation
4.6.1 Measuring Mode
T[0] Measuring Five settings are possible for the parameter "Measuring mode". No acquisition
mode of measured values is carried out in the position "OFF", i.e. all other associated
functions such as chart feed and alarm monitoring are also switched off.
The setting "Normal" or "Fast" determines the cycle time. The resolution of
measured values is higher with the setting "Normal". The cycle times can also
be switched on or off via the option "Digital input/output" with DI1.
Measuring mode is carried out with the set cycle time as long as input DI1
remains at "High". Measuring mode is terminated if the signal changes to
"Low".
Fig. 4.6-2 Summary of parameter "Measuring mode"
4.6.2 Chart
T[5] Chart The parameter "Chart" is used to select the chart formatting. All texts are

Start line LA version:

(only recorders with The printout of the start line and the graphic recording commence
alphanumeric text) simultaneously, i.e. the arrangement of the pens means the start line appears in
the chart (see Fig. 5.2-1 "Example recording for LA version").
PA version:
The measured values are buffered during writing of the start line, and
subsequently output (see Fig. 5.2-2).
The start line consists of the word "START", the date, time, active chart feed
and measuring cycle.
An abbreviated start line is printed when the chart feeds A and B are changed.
This line consists of the time and the active chart feed.
T[10] Cycle L/LA version:

This menu item can be used with the line recorders to set the time between two
time marks. The possible settings are shown in the following figure. A time
mark is not output in the position "OFF". Only a zero adjustment is carried out
every 24 h with this setting.
P/PA version:
This menu item can be used with the multipoint recorders to set the dot
sequence. It defines how long a channel is to be displayed or recorded before
switching to the next channel. The possible settings are shown in Fig. 4.6-3. In
the setting "Join" and "Auto", switching over of the channels is carried out
independent of the set chart speed (Table 4.6-1).

recorders) The time between two markers can be selected between 1 h and 24 h. If the
time mark is to be output for several recorders synchronously, this is possible
via the control input DI1 "Time mark" (T[65.85], see Section 4.6.5).
The used chart feed can be determined for the L version from the distance
between the time marks.

Operation
T[15] Grid This parameter can be used to print a grid on the chart. The vertical distance
(only recorders with between the markers (crosses) is independent of the chart feed. The number of
alphanumeric text) grid divisions over the chart width is selectable (see Table 4.6-2). At chart
feeds from 300 mm/h to 1200 mm/h (only LA version), however, markers are
only output at 0 % and 100 % independent of this setting.

Note
LA version:
A grid printout is only meaningful with slow chart feeds since the grid is
written oblique at fast speeds.
Fig. 4.6-3 shows the possible settings for the parameter "Grid".

Operation
4.6.3 Text (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
T[20] Text Various texts can be programmed in order to make evaluation and
T[25] Editing documentation of the results easier.
T[30] Condition The recorder can store one "Device text" and six "Event texts" and write these
depending on conditions.
The following conditions can be selected:
T
T
Cyclic
T
Alarms A1 to A6
Digital inputs DI1 to DI4
The editing function is used for entering texts..
Fig. 4.6-4 shows the function set for text, editing and condition.
Fig. 4.6-4 Summary of parameters "Text – Editing – Condition"

Operation
Programming text The editing function provides three characters per column in each of the
columns 0 to 70. Selection of one of three characters is possible using the
lower ranges of the fields 25.0 to 25.10 (1 to 3) for lower-case letters and
25.15 to 25.25 (SHIFT 1 to SHIFT 3) for upper-case letters.
After setting line 25 "Editing", select the character group which contains the
desired letter. The LED flashes rapidly following ENTER. Then select one of
three letters using the fields 25.0 to 25.25 and define upper-case or lower-case
letters at the same time. The LED flashes more slowly following confirmation
with ENTER, the selected character is printed, and the chart transported
forwards until the character is visible.
The next character can then be entered.
Input of the alphanumeric characters is terminated using "End".
Note
An extended character set is accessible via the PC interface.
Device text The device text is used for user-specific identification of recorders, e.g. in
order to permit differentiation between several recorders in a larger plant.
The device text consists of the actual text (max. 20 characters), the date and
Î
time. The output is made when the recorder is started, at 12 a.m., 12 p.m., and
when the recording is stopped (lever 1 , PAUSE).
Event text The event text provides information which supports the application, e.g. as a
note to the operating personnel. Up to six different event texts can be
programmed. An event text consists of the actual text (LA version: max. 20
characters, PA version: max. 16 characters) and the time. With the condition
"Cyclic", the texts are output every 20 mm in ascending order up to a chart
feed of 120 mm/h. The texts are output at intervals of 40 mm in the case of
higher chart feeds. The event text can only be output depending on events
(cyclic, alarm, DI1 to DI4). Event texts are stored in intermediate memory to
prevent overwriting of one another.
The format of an event text is shown in Fig. 5.2-1 "Example recording for LA
version" and Fig. 5.2-2 "Example recording for PA version".
Alarm texts are only written on activation of the alarm.

If an alarm text is not parameterized, an alarm marker is written next to the
curve in the channel color (Fig. 5.2-1 "Example recording for LA version" and
Fig. 5.2-2 "Example recording for PA version").

Operation
4.6.4 Clock (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
T[35] Clock: The recorders with alphanumeric text have an adjustable clock. You can select
Mode either a 24 or 12 hour format. It is possible to synchronize and switch over the

T[60] Year: YY
In the event of a power failure, the clock component is buffered by a capacitor
for approx. 5 minutes. A battery is required for longer backup times and is
included in the delivery. It is not included in the basic instrument. When
setting the clock, the seconds are set to zero with ENTER following each
input, and the clock started. To permit inputs exact to the minute even if the
parameterization procedure takes > 1 minute, the minutes input should be
entered last. The adjustable values are shown in Fig. 4.6-5.
Section 4.7.9 shows an example for setting the clock.
Fig. 4.6-5 Summary of parameter "Clock"

Operation
4.6.5 Control Input DI4
T[65] Control The following functions of the recorder can be remote-controlled via the
input DI4 interface "Digital input/output" (option) using control input DI4:
T
T
Chart feed 10 to 100 mm
T

TEST locking.
None of the above functions is activated in the position "OFF".

Chart feed With the setting "Chart feed 10 ... 100 mm", a corresponding chart feed is
carried out when the signal at control input DI4 changes from "Low" to
"High". With the alphanumeric text function switched on (Section 4.6), the
device text is additionally inserted with the recorders with alphanumeric text.
The chart feed initiated via control input DI4 has the highest priority and is
always carried out independent of the current recorder status.
Time mark; only line The setting "Time mark" is used to synchronize several recorders operating as
recorders slaves. A time mark can be written at the same time on several instruments
when the signal changes from "Low" to "High" at DI4. A zero adjustment is
carried out in addition. The following figure shows an example.

A higher value should be set for the time mark on the slave than on the master.
If "OFF" is selected for the time mark, only a zero adjustment is carried out. A
marker is additionally drawn at the right edge of the chart in the case of all
other settings.
Synchronization can also be carried out using any other suitable clock
generator (e.g. master clock with hours signal).

Operation
Clock sync. 3:00 The setting "Clock sync. 3:00" is used to synchronize the internal clock by
(only recorders with means of a master clock signal and permits accurately timed operation of
alphanumeric text) several recorders. The synchronization is carried out by a change in signal
from "Low" to "High" at DI4. The internal clock is set to 3:00 hours
independent of summer or winter time.

Operation

Measuring and Recording Mode
5 Measuring and Recording Mode
In measuring and recording mode, the measured values are displayed on the
scales and recorded on the chart as an amplitude/time chart. The parameters
such as the chart speed are set in the PROG and TEST menus (Section 4).
Measuring mode can be switched on and off in the TEST menu. Measuring
mode is interrupted if you call the PROG or TEST menu.
In measuring and recording mode, all channels for which measured-value
acquisition is switched on are scanned cyclically, processed and documented
on the chart paper by means of the recording system. Measured values are
linearized if applicable and corrected using auxiliary values such as the
terminal temperature and line resistance. Alarms are generated by comparing
the measured values with the programmed limits.
Buffer time The measured values pass through a buffer before they are recorded. This
prevents values from being lost if there is an interruption in the recording
procedure such as when changing the chart or pen. The measured values are
increasingly compressed as the buffer becomes fuller in that min./max. values
are generated.
The capacity of the buffer corresponds to approx. 10 mm of chart. A chart feed
is carried out if the buffer capacity is exceeded, and the symbol for a buffer
overflow "=><=" is printed out together with a chart switching line.
5.1 Chart Formatting (only recorders with alphanumeric

text)
You should preferably select the recording range (left value and right value)
such that round values result on the measured-value lines. This facilitates
evaluation of the chart and the determination of the absolute values of a curve.
Programming of the left and right values is described in Section 4.5.3.

5.1.1 Main Time Line (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
With a correctly set recorder, the time marks are written on the main time
lines. The chart position can be adjusted in the PAUSE status such that the
time marks coincide with the main time lines with a subsequent recording.
After writing the start line (Section 5.1.6), the chart is shifted forwards such
that the time marks are written on the time lines in the future. The chart now
remains adjusted until the recording is interrupted by one of the following
events:
T
T
Parameterize text
T
Print configuration data
T
Removal of chart carriage
Power supply on/off.
The exact operations for setting the main time line are explained in Section 6.
5.1.2 Main Time Line (recorders without alphanumeric text)
Set the recorder to the PAUSE status using lever 1 and note the current time.
Use lever 3 to move the chart forwards until the fictitious time on the chart
with time grid is positioned underneath the three knobs of the scale (Fig. 6.3-
1). Subsequently leave the PAUSE status again using lever 1.
Example:
- Chart speed: 60 mm/h
- Current time on setting to PAUSE status: 11:55 a.m.
The interval between two main chart lines is 10 minutes at this chart speed.
Thus the chart must be set such that the knobs of the scale are positioned
exactly between two main time lines.
Note
The period in the PAUSE status should be kept short so that the buffer time
(approx. 10 mm chart length) is not exceeded.
5.1.3 Device Text (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
An device text is output:

T
T
As part of the switch-on text
T Î
With time marks at 12:00 and 00:00 hours
When recording is stopped (lever 1 , PAUSE ON)
The device text consists of up to 20 characters and can be freely programmed
by the user (Section 4). An device text may be e.g. the plant-specific name of
the recorder.
5-2 Siemens AG Order No.: C79000-G7376-C188-04

SIREC P, PA, L, LA Manual
5.1.4 Switch-on Text (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
The switch-on text line consists of the date, time and device text. The line is
printed when the power supply is switched on if measuring mode is not
switched on. The device text consists of up to 20 characters and can be freely
programmed by the user (Section 4).
5.1.5 Event Text (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
An event text Fig. 5.2-1 "Example recording for LA version") can be printed
out cyclically or dependent on events. Up to six event texts can be
programmed with up to 20 characters each (LA) or 16 characters each (PA)
(Section 4) and assigned to the alarms. Possible trigger conditions are:
T
T
Cyclic
T
Alarms A1 ... A6 (if the alarm becomes active)
Input DI1 ... DI4 (only with change in level from Low to High)
The graphic recording is not interrupted when printing the event text. With the
LA version, a further event text or a measured-value table is only printed if the
chart feed has reached a full line height since the last text. This prevents
overwriting.
Event texts which are printed out cyclically consist only of the event text.
Event texts which are controlled by a digital input are only printed out with a
change in level from Low to High. They consist of the time exact down to
seconds, and the device text. Event texts which are controlled by an activated
alarm consist of the time, alarm symbol, channel number assigned to the
alarm, and event text. If the alarm is deactivated, the "Alarm line" is written as
with an activated alarm, but without an event text. If the alarm is assigned to
all channels, the total character "Σ" appears instead of the channel number.
The cyclic output of the event texts depends on the set chart feed.
Table 5.1-1 Output cycle for event text
Chart feed Output cycle Offset from text
to text
1 - 120 mm/h Every 100 mm 20 mm
300 - 1200 mm/h Every 200 mm 40 mm
5.1.6 Start Line (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
The start line (Fig. 5.2-1 "Example recording for LA version") appears each
time measuring mode and the graphic recording have been interrupted and
restarted. The line consists of the word "START", date, time, chart feed and
set measuring cycle.

5.1.7 Time Marks (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
A time printout (Fig. 5.2-1 "Example recording for LA version") is made

cyclically at the left edge of the chart depending on the chart feed. A
horizontal marking line is printed as the first character followed by the date
and time in hours and minutes. The date is printed with the first time printout
after 12:00 and 00:00 hours. Either the 24-hour clock or the 12-hour clock can
be used for the time printout.
The intervals between the time marks depend on the set chart feed and are
listed in the following table:
Table 5.1.6-1 Interval between time marks
Chart feed Interval Time interval
[mm/h] [mm] [h] [min]
OFF -- -- --

5.1.8 Limit Line (only LA version)
Limit lines (Fig. 5.2-1 "Example recording for LA version") can be drawn
parallel to the time axis. The lines are vertical and approx. 2 mm long. The
spaces of the dashed line are halved when an alarm occurs. The limit lines are
written by the text channel.
Section 4 describes the parameterization of these functions (MIN. or MAX.
with line).
The associated alarm status changes when the measured curve cuts the limit
line. The symbol, alarm number, channel number or Σ are written cyclically
next to the limit line.
Note that there is a time offset between the measured curves and the
inscription of the limit line.
5.1.9 Alarm Markers (only P/PA version)
A limit line is not written with the P/PA version. Instead of this, an alarm
marker is written at the "Limit position" if the alarm status has changed. This
comprises an underline character, an alarm symbol and the alarm number
(1...6). In the case of alarms assigned to one single channel, the alarm markers
are written in the channel color, for common alarms they are written in violet.

5.1.10 Measured-value Table (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
A measured-value table (Fig. 5.2-1 "Example recording for LA version") can

be printed out cyclically or event-controlled. Only measured values are printed
for channels for which the mode "Measure" or "Record" has been selected.
Possible trigger conditions:
T
T
Cyclically every 1, 2, 3, 4, 12 hours
T
Alarms A1 to A6
Inputs DI1 to DI4
LA version:
The graphic recording is not interrupted when printing the measured-value
table, i.e. the 2nd and 3rd lines are only printed if the chart feed has reached a
full line height since the last line. If a further trigger function for a measured-
value table or an event text arrives whilst a table is being printed, this is only
commenced when the table has been completely printed and the chart feed has
reached a full line height since the last line.
P/PA version:
The continuous recording is interrupted, and the subsequent measured values
are buffered. If switching over is triggered by an alarm, a line is initially
written with the alarm text, a chart feed is then carried out, and a chart
switching line is written. The buffered values are then traced with the new
chart speed. The relationship to the main time line is not lost by the chart feed.
The printout of the measured-value table always coincides with a time mark if
it is carried out cyclically. The first line of the measured-value table is omitted
in this case (reading direction: from bottom to top).
The information of an analog channel comprises (from left to right):
T
T
Channel number, e.g. #3
T
Measured value with sign
T
Dimension of parameterized measuring range
T
Symbol for open-circuit if applicable
Symbols of alarms assigned to the channel
The information of a digital channel comprises (from left to right):

T
T
Channel number with code letter "#d" for digital
Measured value "0" for Low or "1" for High

5.1.11 Grid (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
The text channel (LA version) or channel #3 (black, PA version) can be used
to print a grid on (preferably) unprinted paper. The interval between the grids
depends on the chart feed (see Table 5.1-3). The grids are synchronized with
the time marks and independent of the starting time for recording.
Table 5.1-3 Chart grid

See fig. 5.2-1
Division 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 +

LA version:
The grid crosses at 20, 40, 60 and 80 % are omitted if
T
T
a recorder text is written at 12 a.m. and 12 p.m., and
T
a measured-value table is printed and
an event text is printed.
At a high chart feed, the markers are no longer on a time line, they are written
oblique.
With a chart feed from 300 to 1200 mm/h, only the 0 % and 100 % markers
are written.
5.1.12 Priorities of Text Outputs
The printing of texts is triggered cyclically or event-controlled. The texts are

printed in chronological order. If several texts are waiting to be printed, the
print messages are buffered and the printout of the next text line delayed so
that the texts are not printed over one another.
A congestion of printer messages may occur if a large number of texts occurs
within a short time or large time intervals exist between the text lines because
of a slow chart feed. The recorder carries out the following measures in order
to avoid a buffer overflow in the event of congestion:

T If the buffer for print messages is close to overflowing, the printing of

texts is not delayed until they do not overwrite one another.
T Texts which are triggered cyclically and which only contain redundant
information are delayed, or omitted if texts with a higher priority are
present during a complete cycle.
T Texts are printed out in abbreviated form.
The texts are always abbreviated if the printing of a further text with a higher
priority is also present. The following priority list applies:
LA version:
High priority Switch-on line

START line
Chart switching line
Edge of digital channel
Grid
Time mark
Event-controlled measured-value table
Event-controlled event text
Event-controlled time mark and carriage adjustment

Cyclic measured-value table
Cyclic event text
Cyclic carriage adjustment
Cyclic limit lines
Low priority Cyclic digital channel lines
Time marks and edges of digital channels are exceptions for two reasons:
T They are printed without being delayed, i.e. they can be printed over
other texts.
T If a time mark or a digital channel edge occurs whilst printing a text, the
text is only interrupted and not aborted.
PA version:
Event text: high priority
Cyclic texts: low priority
5.1.13 Configuration Data (only recorders with alphanumeric text)
The set configuration data can be printed if required. Printing is triggered

using the PROG menu [100,10] .

6.3 Setting the Main Time Line
The position of the chart can be adjusted when in the PAUSE status so that the
time marks coincide with the main time lines during the subsequent graphic
recording.
Recorders with alphanumeric text:
Step Measure
Î
1 Open door
2 Lever 1 PAUSE ON (stop recording). The carriage moves to the
Î
maintenance position (e.g. L/LA version, see Fig. 6.8-2).
3 Lever 3 activate chart high-speed until a time line is positioned
underneath the knobs which are present on the rear of the
Í
adjustment scale (Fig. 6.3-1).
Recorders without alphanumeric text:

Set the recorder to the PAUSE status using lever 1 and note the current time.
Use lever 3 to move the chart forwards until the fictitious time on the chart
with time grid is positioned underneath the three knobs of the scale (Fig. 6.3-
1). Subsequently leave the PAUSE status again using lever 1.
Example:
- Chart speed: 60 mm/h
- Current time on setting to PAUSE status: 11:55 a.m.
The interval between two main chart lines is 10 minutes at this chart speed.
Thus the chart must be set such that the knobs of the scale are positioned
exactly between two main time lines.
Note
The period in the PAUSE status should be kept short so that the buffer time
(approx. 10 mm chart length) is not exceeded.
The above settings are always required:

R Following parameterization of text
R Following printing of the configuration data
R If the chart carriage has been removed from the chassis, e.g. in order to
replace the chart
R When the recorder has been switched on/off.

6.22 Adjustment, Test Prints, Carriage/Text Positions
6.22.1 Adjustment
T[80] Adjustment: When adjusting the measuring ranges, a reference value is determined for the
Range individual ranges of the input amplifier using external signals and stored in a
non-volatile data memory.
T[85] Channel
Note
The measuring ranges have been adjusted by the manufacturer prior to
delivery. A new adjustment, should this be necessary, must only be carried out
using suitable calibrators.
You require a signal generator or resistance transmitter in order to carry out an

adjustment. Connect the source to the signal input terminals. The error of the
signal generator or resistance transmitter is included as an additional error in
the result of the recorder.
Except for 20 mA and 10 V, the measuring ranges can be adjusted using any
channel. Therefore connect the signal generator or resistance transmitter to the
input terminals of the associated channel or to all input terminals. Connect the
jumpers as in Fig. 3.6-2.
If the recorder is only used in the range setting you have selected, adjustment
of the unused ranges is unnecessary.
The setting "Adjustment" and its subsequent settings support adjustment of the
measuring ranges. The adjustment is carried out by setting the measuring
range and the channel assignment. If an adjustment is required for each
channel, this can be carried out for the individual channels or for all channels
together. The field "Adjust" is subsequently set, and the set measuring range is
automatically adjusted (Fig. 6.22-1).

6.22.3 Test Print
T[90] Test print Following maintenance and adjustment, you can check the settings and status
of the recording systems using test prints. In addition, the test prints are an
important aid during troubleshooting.
T Test print 1:
A step recording is carried out in steps of 10 % for channel 1 (P/PA
version) or for each channel (L/LA version). No automatic abort.
Purpose: checking of linearity and hysteresis. Correct setting under
"Maintenance, carriage position 1...3" (Section 6.22.4) is a requirement.
T Test print 2:
L/LA version:
A simultaneous and alternating 0 % and 100 % recording is carried out
for all channels. No automatic abort.
Purpose: checking of pen offset between individual channels and
checking of setting "Maintenance, carriage position 1...3".
P/PA:
All six channels are recorded uniformly distributed from 0 to 100 %. No
automatic abort.

T Test print 3:
Output of a complete character set (text channel).
Purpose: checking of text output.
T Test print 4:
Output of rectangular recording with text channel for L/LA version or
channel 1 for P/PA version.
Purpose: checking of linearity and hysteresis with different triggering
modes. No automatic abort.
T Test print 5:
Output of triangular recording.
Purpose: checking of hysteresis to DIN.
T Test prints 6 to 10:
Not used.

6.22.4 Maintenance
T[95] Maintenance Line recorders

Six settings are available for maintenance purposes. The recording systems can
be set to the 0 % and 100 % lines using "Carriage position 1" to "Carriage
position 4". The settings "Carriage position 1" to "Carriage position 4" can be
used e.g. to adapt the recording system to the chart which may change as a
result of climatic influences. The setting is limited. You should inform the
servicing department if the 0 % or 100 % line cannot be reached using the
maintenance facilities.
The setting "Text position" is used to change the space between the pens of the
analog channels and the pen of the text channel (only LA version) (see
example on next page). The setting procedure for the recording systems is
terminated by "End". The possible settings are shown in Fig. 6.22-3.
Multipoint recorders
One setting "Maintenance position 1" is available for maintenance purposes. It
can be used to adapt the recording system to the chart which may change as a
result of climatic influences. The setting is limited. You should inform the
servicing department if the 0 % or 100 % line cannot be reached using the
maintenance facilities.
Fig. 6.22-3 Summary of parameter "Maintenance"

Setting example The vertical spacing between the pens of channel 1 and the pen of the text
for text channel channel is typically 7 mm. The exact spacing must be determined in an
(only LA version) adjustment procedure and stored in the EEPROM. To do this, select the menu
item "Maintenance - Text position" in the TEST menu.

7.13 Explanation of Error Data
The total error to be expected results from several types of error which in turn
depend on different influencing variables, the measuring mode, the recorder
programming and the recorder design. The recorders correspond to class 0.5 to
DIN 43782 or IEC 484. The class accuracy of 0.5 does not mean that the error
is always within 0.5 % of the full-scale value or the span under all operating
conditions. It means that the error does not exceed 0.5 % of the reference
value under reference conditions.
The maximum range expansion permissible only results from the accuracy
required for a specific task. There are no recorder limitations for the range
expansion.
The maximum total error to be expected results from the total of the individual
errors. The actual error will generally be much smaller and typically approx.
1/3 of the maximum total error since it can be assumed that not all influencing
variables will have their most unfavourable values, and that some of the
influences will mutually cancel one another.
The error data refer to the chart. A requirement is correct adjustment of the
carriage position in the TEST menu.
