Introduction

The GIA 20 EB / PK 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 )
  

• Resistance sensors

• Frequency (TTL and switching contact)

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 Leis 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. Furthermore the device supports one Earbuds-interface so that the device can communicate with a host computer via an interface converter and makes the device to a full functions Earbuds-module. When leaving our factory the GIA20EB / PK has been subjected to various inspection tests and is completely calibrated.

Before the GIA20EB / PK can be used, it has to be configured for the customers application.
Hint: In order to avoid undefined input states and unwanted or wrong switching processes, we suggest to connect the devices 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 device 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) !

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:

Connecting a resistance sensor

• Resistance measurement (2-wire)

• Resistance measurement (3-wire)
  

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

• with individual transmitter supply

• without individual transmitter supply
  

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

• with individual transmitter supply
  

• without individual transmitter supply
  

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

• with individual transmitter supply
  

• without individual transmitter supply.
  

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

• with individual transmitter supply
  

• without individual transmitter supply
  
  ( Note : Sig- and knur of the Transmitter must be the same potential)

Connecting a frequency- or rotation-signal

When measuring frequency or rotation three different input signals can be selected in the devices 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 +Us, high-side push-button, …). When configuring the device with a NPN switching output, a pull-up-resistor (~11kΩ referring to +3.3V) is connected internally. So when You use a device with NPN output You done need to connect a resistor externally.

When configuring the device with a PNP switching output, a pull-down resistor (~11kΩ referring to GND) is connected internally. So when You use a device with PNP output You done need a resistor externally. It may be that your measuring-signal source needs the connection of an external resistor e.g. the pull-up voltage 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 Nettle.

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.

• Connection of a transducer (with separate power supply)
  
  with TTL or PNP output and external resistor for current limitation.

• Connection of a transducer (without separate power supply)
  
  with TTL or PNP output and external resistor for current limitation.

• Connection of a transducer (with separate power supply) with NPN output.
  

• Connection of a transducer (without separate power supply) with NPN output.
  

• Connection of a transducer (with separate power supply) with NPN output and necessary external resistor
  

• Connection of a transducer (without separate power supply) with NPN output and necessary external resistor
  
  Hint: Rv = 3kΩ (with power supply voltage = 12V) or 7kΩ (with power supply voltage = 24V), device configuration: Sens = TTL

• Connecting of a transducer (with individual power supply) PNP output with external resistor wiring.
  

• Connecting of a transducer (without individual power supply) PNP output and external resistor wiring.
  
  Hint: Rv2 = 600Ω, Rv1 = 1.8kΩ (with power supply voltage = 12V) or 4.2kΩ (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.)

Connecting a counter signal
When configuring the device you can select 3 different input signal modes similar to the connection 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 in chapter 3.3.6.

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 input current 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 / PK
  
  Hint for GIA20EB / PK:
  Device 1 Input signal like impulse-transmitter,
  Output 2 configured as NPN output
  Device 2 ñ Input-signal = switching-contact

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 the negative rail of the supply voltage (connection 3 or 5) when active (switching output on).
High-Side: Imus- switching PNP output (open-collector) The switching output is connected to the positive rail of the supply voltage (connection 4) when active (switching output on).
Push-Pull: The switching output is connected to the negative rail of the supply voltage (connection 3 or 5) when inactive. When the switching output is active, its connected to the positive rail of the supply voltage (connection 4).

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 +Us to muss when an alarm condition occurred.

Hint: In order to avoid unwanted or wrong switching processes, we suggest to connect the devices switching outputs after you have configured the devices 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.

Connection with configured low-side-switching output (NPN output,

switching to GND)

• Connection of consumer loads (relay and lamp) (without individual supply voltage)
  

• Connection of consumer loads (relay and lamp) (with individual supply voltage)
  

Connection with configured high-side-switching output (PNP output,

switching to +Us)

• Connection of consumer loads (relay and lamp)
  

Hints:
Connections 3 and 5 are internally electrically connected.
When switching higher currents (> 50 mA) , the Uv connection should not be attached to the device (connection 3) but to
the -Us connection of the external power supply unit.
When doing this, you get rid off ground displacement.

Connection with configured push-pull-switching output

• Connection of a semiconductor-relay
  

Common wiring of several devices

Inputs and outputs are not electrically isolated. When interconnecting several devices you have to make sure that there is no potential displacement.

Make sure to observe the following points:

• When several devices 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 canít 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).

Err.1: Exceeding of the measuring range
Indicates that the valid measuring range of the device has been exceeded.

Possible causes:

• Input signal to high.
• Sensor broken (resistance).
• Sensor shorted (0(4)-20mA).
• Counter overflow.

Remedies:

• The error-message will be reset if the input signal is within the limits.
• check sensor, transducer or transmitter.
• check device configuration (e.g. input signal)
• reset the counter.

Err.2: Values below the measuring range
Indicates that the values are below the valid measuring range of the device.

Possible causes:

• Input signal is to low or negative.
• Current below 4mA.
• Sensor shorted (resistance).
• Sensor broken (4-20mA).
• Counter underflow.

Remedies:

• The error-message will be reset if the input signal is within the limits.
• Check sensor, transducer or transmitter.
• check device configuration (e.g. input signal)
• Reset the counter

Display range has been exceeded
Indicates that the valid display range (9999 digit) of the device has been exceeded.

Possible causes:

• Incorrect scale.
• Counter overflow.

Remedies:

• The error-message will be reset if the display value is below 9999.
• Reset the counter.
• When happening frequently, check the scale-setting, maybe it was set too high and should be reduced.

Err.4: Values below display range
Indicates that display value is below the valid display range of the device (-1999 digit).

Possible causes:

• Incorrect scale.
• Counter underflow.

Remedies:

• The error-message will be reset if the display value is above -1999.
• Reset the counter
• When happening frequently, check the scale-setting, maybe it was set too low and should be increased.

Err.7: System-error
The device features an integrated self-diagnostic-function which checks essential parts of the device permanently. When detecting a failure, error- message Err.7 will be displayed.

Possible causes:

• Valid operating temperature range has been exceeded or is below the valid temperature range.
• Device defective.

Remedies:

• Stay within valid temperature range.
• Exchange the defective device.

Err.9: Sensor defective
The device features an integrated diagnostic-function for the connected sensor or transmitter. When detecting a failure, error-message Err.9 will be displayed.

Possible causes:

• Sensor broken or sensor shorted
• Sensor broken (thermo-elements).

Remedies:

• Check sensor or exchange defective sensor.

Er.11: Value could not be calculated
Indicates a measuring value, needed for calculation of the display value, is faulty or out of range.

Possible causes:

• Incorrect scale.

Remedies:

• Check settings and input signal
