Primary Display: R423
The R423 indicator offers superior diagnostics and support. It provides a
range of diagnostic tools and features, including a hardware configuration
report that summarizes the setup of the indicator for maintenance purposes or
fault finding. The indicator also has Force Output and Test Input functions,
which allow the installer to specifically test I/O for site setup.
Additionally, the R423 allows for module swapping without recalibration of the
indicator.
View400: Fast Efficient Indicator Setup via a PC
View400 is a software tool that displays the complete menu structure of the
indicator on a PC. It offers convenient drop-down menus for easy setting
selection. With View400, users can enter custom print strings, set up the
indicator, save configurations and calibrations for maintenance purposes, or
load the RIS file onto multiple indicators. The software also enables the
creation of real-time graphs from logs, which are ideal for diagnostics.
Save400: Reading and Writing Indicator Setup
Save400 is a software tool that allows for reading and writing of R400
indicator setup and configuration. It enables exporting setups for updates and
reimporting them later.
Lua Programmability
The Rinstrum R423/R427 indicators support embedded Lua scripting with an
accessory module. This enhances functionality by allowing the installation of
a range of application packages. The indicators also come with an open-source
library and comprehensive API, enabling users to write their own applications
or engage Rinstrum to write them through the Lua MAX program. Additionally,
the indicators feature an embedded web server for creating browser-based user
interfaces.
R427: Rugged Load Cell Input
The R427 indicator is designed to take 16×350 ohm load cells at 0.25uV/D. This
provides flexibility and reduces the need for summing hardware, simplifying
installation and saving money. The load cell input is protected with onboard
transorbs to limit damage from external voltage surges.
rinLINK: Temporary Connection to a PC
The rinLINK provides an isolated optical serial connection directly on the
front of the indicator. It is magnetically coupled, allowing for easy access
in situ for updates and setup of the indicator. This feature saves time and
effort for installers. The rinLINK can be used to download new firmware or
establish a connection to a PC running Viewer for indicator configuration.
Accessory Modules:
- RS232/RS232 Module
- RS232/RS485 Module
- RS485/RS485 Module
- AC Module
- Lua Module
- I/O Module
- Button Module
- Analogue Output Module
Product Usage Instructions
To use the Rinstrum R423/R427 Stainless Steel Indicators, follow these steps:
- Identify the type of indicator you have – R423 (Panel Mount) or R427 (Full Housing).
- Ensure you have the necessary power supply module – AC power or DC power, depending on your requirements.
- If using load cells, connect them to the rugged load cell input of the R427 indicator. This input is designed to take 16×350 ohm load cells at 0.25uV/D.
- If required, install any accessory modules, such as RS232/RS232, RS232/RS485, RS485/RS485, AC, Lua, I/O, Button, or Analogue Output modules.
- If you need to establish a temporary connection to a PC, use the rinLINK feature located on the front of the indicator. This feature provides an isolated optical serial connection and can be magnetically coupled for easy access.
- If you prefer to set up the indicator via a PC, install the View400 software. This software allows for fast and efficient indicator setup by displaying the complete menu structure on your PC. Use convenient drop-down menus for setting selection, enter custom print strings, and save configurations and calibrations for maintenance purposes.
- If you need to read and write indicator setups, use the Save400 software. This tool enables reading and writing of R400 indicator setup and configuration, allowing for easy export and import of setups for updates.
- If you want to enhance the functionality of the indicators through scripting, install the Lua module. This module supports embedded Lua scripting, open-source libraries, and a comprehensive API for writing your own applications or engaging Rinstrum for custom applications through the Lua MAX program.
- For any additional assistance or support, refer to the user manual or contact Rinstrum for superior diagnostics and support.
