Introduction

The GIA20EB is a microprocessor controlled displaying, monitoring and controlling device.
The device is supporting one universal interface for the connection of:

  • Standard transmitter signals (0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-50mV, 0-1V, 0-2V and 0-10V )
  • RTD (for Pt100 and Pt1000),
  • Thermocouple probes (type K, J, N, T and S)
  • Frequency (TTL and switching contact)

As well as rotation measuring, counting, etc. …
The device features two switching outputs, which can be configured as 2-point- controller, 3-point-controller, 2-point-controller with min./max. alarm, common or individual min./max. alarm.
The state of the switching outputs is displayed with two LED’s beneath the front 4-digit LED-display.

The left LED displays the state of the 1st output, the right LED displays the state of the 2nd output.
The power supply-connection is electrically insulated towards the device’s other connections.
Furthermore the device supports one EASY BUS-interface for communicating with a host computer that makes the device to a full functions EASY BUS-module.
When leaving our factory the GIA20EB has been subjected to various inspection tests and is completely calibrated.
Before the GIA20EB can be used, it has to be configured for the customer’s application.

Hint: In order to avoid undefined input states and unwanted or wrong switching processes, we suggest to connect the device’s switching outputs after You have configured the device properly.

For configuring the GIA20EB please proceed as follows:

  • Disassemble the red front plate (see sketch).
  • Connect the device to its supply (see chapter 3 ‘Electric connection‘).
  • Switch on the supply voltage and wait until the device completed its built-in segment test .
  • Adjust the device to the input signal required. Follow the instructions in chapter 4 ‘Input configuration‘
  • Follow the instructions given in chapter 5 ‘Output and alarm configuration‘ to configure the outputs of the GIA20EB.
  • Reassemble the red front plate.
  • Connect the device properly (see chapter 3 ‘Electric connection‘)

Electric connection

Wiring and commissioning of the device must be carried out by skilled personnel only.
In case of wrong wiring the GIA20EB may be destroyed. We can not assume any warranty in case of wrong wiring of the device.

These limits must not be exceeded (not even for a short time)!
3.3. Connecting an input signal
Please take care not to exceed the limitations of the inputs when connecting the device as this may lead to destruction of the device:
3.3.1. Connecting a Pt100 or Pt1000 RTD probe or a thermocouple probe

3.3.2. Connecting a 4-20mA transmitter in 2-wire-technology

3.3.3. Connecting a 0(4)-20mA transmitter in 3-wire-technology

3.3.4. Connecting a 0-1V, 0-2V or 0-10V transmitter in 3-wire-technology

3.3.5. Connecting a 0-1/2/10V or 0-50mV transmitter in 4-wire-technology

3.3.6. Connecting a frequency- or rotation-signal
When measuring frequency or rotation three different input signals can be selected in the device’s configuration.
There is the possibility of connecting an active signal (= TTL, …), a passive sensor-signal with NPN (= NPN-output, push-button, relay, …) or PNP (= a PNP output switching to +Ub, high-side push-button, …).
When configuring the device with a NPN switching output, a pull-up-resistor (~11kO referring to +3.3V) is connected internally. So when You use a device with NPN output You don‘t need to connect a resistor externally.
When configuring the device with a PNP switching output, a pull-down resistor (~11kO referring to GND) is connected internally. So when You use a device with PNP output You don‘t need a resistor externally.
It may be that your measuring-signal source needs the connection of an external resistor e.g. the pull-upvoltage of 3.3V is not enough for the signal source, or you want to measure in the top level frequency range. In this case the input signal has to be treated like an active signal and you have to configure the device as „TTL“.

Hint:
when connecting the device You have to take care not to exceed the limits of the input voltage respective the input current of the frequency-input.

Hint: Rv2 = 600O, Rv1 = 1.8O (with power supply voltage = 12V) or 4.2k O (with power supply voltage = 24V), device config.: Sens = TTL (Rv1 is a current limiting resistor and may be shorted if necessary. It should never exceed the mentioned value.)

3.3.7. Connecting a counter signal
When configuring the device you can select 3 different input signal modes similar to the connetion of frequency- and rotation-signals. The connection of a sensor-signal for a counter-signal is the same used for the frequency- and rotation-signal.
Please use the wiring diagram given below.
There is the possibility to reset the counter. When connecting contact 8 with GND (e.g. contact 7) the counter will be reset. You can do this manually (e.g. with the help of a push-button) or automatically (with one switching output of the device).
Hint:
When connecting the device, take care not to exceed the limits of the input- voltage or the inputcurrent of the frequency input.

manually reset the device with the help of a push-button automatically resetting with the help of output 2 and additional resetting the device via push-button
Hint: Output 2 has to be configured as NPN output Cascading of GIA20EB`s

Hint for GIA20EB:
Device 1 – Input signal like impuls-transmitter, Output 2 configured as NPN output
Device 2 – Input-signal = switching-contact

3.4. Connecting switching outputs
The device features two switching outputs, with three different operating modes for each switching output, which are:

Low-Side:| “GND-switching“ NPN output (open-collector)
The switching output is connected to GND (connection 5) when active (switching output on).
---|---
High-Side:| PNP output (open-collector)
The switching output is connected to an internal voltage (about +9V) when active (switching output on).
Push-Pull:| The switching output is connected to GND (connection 5) when inactive. When the switching output is active, it’s connected to an internal voltage (about +9V).

In case of configuring one output as an alarm output, the output will be active in idle state (no alarm present). The output transistor opens or the push-pull output changes from about +9V to 0V when an alarm condition occurred.
Hint:
In order to avoid unwanted or wrong switching processes, we suggest to connect the device’s switching outputs after you have configured the device’s switching outputs properly.

Please take care that you must not exceed the limits of the voltage and of the maximum current of the switching outputs (not even for a short period of time). Please take extreme care when switching inductive loads (like coils or relays, etc.) because of their high voltage peaks, protective measures to limit these peaks have to be taken.
When switching large capacitive loads a series resistor for current limitation needed, because of the high turn-on-current of high capacitive loads. The same applies to incandescent lamps, whose turn-on-current is also quite high due to their low cold resistance.

3.4.1. Connection with configured low-side-switching output (NPN output, switching to GND)

3.4.2. Connection with configured high-side-switching output (PNP output, switching to +9V)

Hints:
For this connection the maximum switching-current must not exceed 25mA! (for each output)

3.4.3. Connection with configured push-pull-switching output

3.5. Common wiring of several GIA20EB
Inputs and outputs are not electrically isolated (only the supply is). When interconnecting several GIA20EB`s you have to make sure that there is no potential displacement.
Take care, when connecting a switching output to the device’s supply (e.g. via a transistor to –Vs or +Vs), the electric insolation of the supply won’t be any longer. When doing so, please make sure to observe the following points:

  • When several GIA20EB`s are connected to the same power supply unit it is highly recommended to isolate the sensors, measuring transducers etc.
  • When the sensors, measuring transducers etc. are electrically connected, and you can’t manage to isolate them, you should use separate electrically isolated power supply units for each devices. Please note, that an electric connection may also be created via the medium to be measured (e.g. pH-electrodes and conductivity-electrodes in fluids).

Configuration of the device

Please note: When you are configuring the device and don’t press any button for more than 60 sec. the configuration of the device will be cancelled. The changes you made will not be saved and will be lost!
Hint:
The buttons 2 and 3 are featured with a ‘roll-function‘. When pressing the button once the value will be raised (button 2) by one or lowered (button 3) by one. When holding the button pressed for longer than 1 sec. the value starts counting up or down, the  counting speed will be raised after a short period of time. The device also features a ‘overflow-function‘, when reaching the upper limit of the range, the device switches to the lower limit, vice versa.

4.1. Selecting an input signal type

  • Turn the device on and wait until it completed its built-in segment test.
  • Press button 2 for >2 sec. (e.g. with a small screw driver) The device displays “InP“ (‘INPUT’).
  • Use button 2 or button 3 (middle resp. right button) to select the input signal (see table below).

    nEG| Negative| The counter is triggered on the negative (fal- ling) edge.
  • Press button 1 to validate your selection, the display shows “EdGE“ again.
  • When pressing button 1 again, the display will show “diu“ (divisor = pre-scaling factor).
  • Use button 2 and button 3 to select the desired pre-scaling factor.

The incoming pulses will be divided with the selected pre-scaling factor, after that they will be transmitted to the device for further processing.
By this factor you can adapt the device to your transmitter or select a pre- scaling factor for large values
Example 1: Your flow rate transmitter supplies 165 pulses per litre. When setting a pre-scaling factor of 165 every 165th pulse (so 1 pulse per litre) will be used for further processing.
Example 2: Your transmitter is supplying about 5 000 000 pulses during the measurement, which exceeds the limit of the GIA20EB. But when setting a pre-scaling factor of 1000 only every 1000th pulse is used for further processing. So you only got a value 5000 which won’t exceed the limit of the GIA20EB.

  • Press button 1 to validate your selection. The display shows “diu“ again.
  • Press button 1 again. The display shows “Co.Hi“ (counter high = upper counting range limit).
  • Use button 2 and button 3 to select the maximum pulse-count (after pre-scaling factor) for the counting process.

Example: Your flow rate transmitter is supplying 1800 pulses per litre, you selected a pre-scaling factor of 100 and you are expecting a maximum flow rate of 300 litres during the measurement. With a pre-scaling factor of 100 selected, you will get 18 pulses per  litre. With a maximum flow rate of 300 litres you will be getting a pulse count of 18 * 300 = 5400.

  • Press button 1 to validate your selection. The display shows “Co.Hi“ again.
  • When pressing button 1 again, the device will be displaying “dP“ (decimal point).

  • Press button 1 again. The display shows “di.Hi“ (display high = upper display range limit).
  • Use button 2 and button 3 to set the value to be displayed when the maximum pulse (setting of co.Hi) count is reached.

Example: Your flow rate transmitter is supplying 1800 pulses per litre and you are expecting a maximum flow rate of 300 litres. You selected a pre- scaling factor of 100 and a counter range limit of 5400. When wanting a resolution of 0.1 litres shown in the display of the device you would have to set the decimal point position to —.- and a display range limit of 300.0.

  • Press button 1 to validate your selection. The display shows “di.Hi“ again.
  • Press button 1. The display will show “Li“ (Limit = measuring range limit).

Therefore you calculated: zero point: 2
You have to set:
slope: 102 – 2 = 100 (deviation = 0)
offset = 2 (= zero point-deviation)
scale = 0.00

Example 2: Connecting of a 4-20mA-pressure-transducer
The device displays the following values (without offset- or slope- adjustment): 0.08 at 0.00 bar and 20.02 at 20.00 bar
Therefore you calculated: zero point: 0.08
You have to set:
slope: 20.02 – 0.08 = 19.94
deviation: 0.06 (= target-slope – actual-slope = 20.00 – 19.94)
offset = 0.08 (= zero point-deviation)
scale = 0.30 (= deviation / actual-slope = 0.06 / 19.94 = 0.0030 = 0.30% )

Example 3: Connecting of a flow-rate-transducer
The device displays the following values (without offset- or slope- adjustment): 0.00 at 0.00 l/min and 16.17 at 16.00 l/min
Therefore you calculated: zero point: 0.00
You have to set:
slope: 16.17 – 0.00 = 16.17
deviation: – 0.17 (=target-slope – actual slope = 16.00 – 16.17)
offset = 0.00
scale = – 1.05 (= deviation / actual-slope = – 0.17 / 16.17 = – 0.0105 = – 1.05% )
