pyroscience PICO-O2-SUB OEM Fiber Optic Oxygen Meter

INTRODUCTION

The Pico-O2-SUB (Item No. PICO-O2-SUB) is an OEM solution for fiber-optic oxygen measurements under water. It is designed for integration into custom- made underwater housings. The Pico-O2-SUB consists of three parts: Our standard Pico-O2 OEM (Pico-O2) module, a pressure stable optical connector (SubPort) for connecting optical sensors and an adapter. Pico-O2 is characterized by its small size, durability and low power consumption. This OEM module is easy to integrate and is controlled with a simple serial communication protocol.

To control the Pico-O2, there are several options depending on the users´ level of experience with optical sensors:

• Option 1: For initial evaluation purposes, Pico-O2 can be operated with the simple and customer-friendly logger software Pyro Workbench, which is typically used by end-users. This software offers comfortable settings and calibration wizards, as well as advanced logging features. Several modules can be operated in parallel within a single window. This software requires an encoded USB interface cable (item no. PICO-USB) for connecting the module to a Windows PC (see chapter 3).
• Option 2: For advanced evaluation purposes, the module can be operated with the software Pyro Developer Tool. It offers simple settings and calibration procedures, as well as basic logging features. Furthermore, additional advanced settings offer full control on all features of the module. This software requires an encoded USB-interface cable (item no. PICO-USB) for connecting the module to a Windows PC (see chapter 4).
• Option 3: A simplified custom integration of the module can be realized by adjusting the settings and performing sensor calibrations using the PyroScience software Pyro Workbench or Pyro Developer Tool (requires the encoded USB interface cable PICO-USB). After closing the software, the configuration is automatically saved within the internal flash memory of the module. The module can then be integrated into a specific setup, and your custom software can perform measurements using a proprietary USB/UART communication protocol (see chapter 5).
• Option 4: For advanced custom integration the full USB/UART communication protocol is available on request, allowing custom software full control on all settings, calibration and measurement features of the module (see chapter 6).

OVERVIEW

Figure 2 provides an overview of the Pico-O2. The front provides the port for connecting an optical fiber used for read-out of optical oxygen sensors, as well as solder points for an external temperature sensor enabling automatic temperature compensation. The backside of the module provides the connector for the power supply and the digital communication interface, as well as a red status LED.

Mounting of fiber connector in the housing

The fiber connector can be installed in two ways, depending on the housing. In thick-walled housings, the connector can be screwed directly into a threaded hole. For thinner walls, fixing of the connector with the supplied hex nut is possible (Figure 3). In both cases, the tightening force should not exceed 12 Nm. Note that the sealing surface must be smooth to ensure a good sealing. The O-ring should be lubricated with a thin layer of silicone grease before installation. The screw joint can be secured with bold adhesive, e.g. Loctite™ 243. Recommendations for the mounting hole can be found in Figure 3.

Pressure tests of the whole assembly prior to deployment are strongly advised.

Optical port for O2 sensors
The Pico-O2-SUB is compatible with special Pyro Science fiber-optic sensors for underwater applications designated by the appendix ‘-SUB’ in the item number. An index matching liquid inside the connector enhances the sensor signals. Before connecting a sensor, insert the provided Pasteur pipette to the bottom of the connector and fill it completely with deionized water (Figure 4). Alternatively and mandatory for the optical fiber with lens (item no. SPFIB-LNS-SUB/SPFIB-LNS-CL2-SUB) for read-out of sensor spots, the optical port should be filled with silicone oil before inserting the optical fiber. The sensor is secured with the cap nut. Do not use a wrench. It is sufficient to tighten the nut by hand.

For more detailed information on handling, maintenance, calibration and measurements of the oxygen sensors, information on calibration, please refer to the oxygen sensor manual for more information.

External temperature sensor
The signal of oxygen sensors is temperature dependent, which can be automatically compensated. Pico-O2 offers a high-precision sensor interface, which can be directly connected to a Pt100 temperature sensor (not included, item no. TSUB21-NC). The temperature sensor has to be soldered to the 4 solder pads at the front of the module. Then temperature sensor has to be placed into the sample of the oxygen measurement.

The Pt100 temperature sensor has to be soldered to the 4 solder pads at the front of the module (Figure 5). For short distances (e.g. 10 cm) a simple 2-wire connection might be sufficient. For this, it is important to shortcut the outer with the inner solder pads as indicated in Figure 4. For longer distances and/or for high precision measurements a 4-wire connection should be preferred. In order to minimize potential electrical noise coupling into the external temperature sensor, the cables should be twisted and kept as short as possible.

Status LED
The behavior of the status LED is given in Table 1.

indicated by 4 flashes within 1-2 seconds.

USB interface cable
For the operation of Pico-O2 with a Windows PC, a coded USB interface cable (item no. PICO-USB) is available from PyroScience. It includes a license for the comfortable logger software Pyro Workbench and the software Pyro Developer Tool. Especially for initial testing purposes this software packages can speed up OEM-developments significantly. Additionally, the USB interface cable PICO- USB provides a virtual COM-port. Custom software can use this virtual COM-port for communicating directly with the module based on the communication protocol.

OPTION 1: OPERATING THE MODULE WITH PYRO WORKBENCH

For initial evaluation purposes the module can be operated with the simple and customer-friendly software Pyro Workbench, which is typically used by end- users. This software offers comfortable settings and calibration wizards, as well as advanced logging features. Several modules can be operated in parallel within a single window. This software requires an encoded USB interface cable PICO-USB for connecting the module to a Windows PC.

Installing the software Pyro Workbench
System requirements: PC with Windows 7/8/10 and min. 1000 MB free disk space. Do not connect the USB-interface cable to your PC before the Pyro Workbench software has been installed. The software will automatically install the appropriate USB-drivers

Installation steps:

• Download the Pyro Workbench from the downloads tab on www.pyroscience.com
• unzip and start the installer and follow the instructions
• connect the interface plug of the USB interface cable to the connector X1 of the Pico-O2
• connect the USB plug to an USB port of the PC. The status LED of the Pico-O2 should flash shortly indicating the correct startup of the module.
• Start the Pyro Workbench software.

Using the software Pyro Workbench
Please refer to the Pyro Workbench manual for general operation instructions for the software (available on our website). Please refer to the Oxygen Sensor manual for general information on handling and calibration of the oxygen sensors (available on our website).

OPTION 2: OPERATING THE MODULE WITH PYRO DEVELOPER TOOL

For advanced evaluation purposes the module can be operated with the software Pyro Developer Tool. It offers simple settings and calibration procedures, as well as basic logging features. Furthermore, additional advanced settings offer full control on all features of the module. This software requires the encoded USB interface cable PICO-USB for connecting the module to a Windows PC.

Installing the software Pyro Developer Tool

System requirements: PC with Windows 7/8/10 and min. 1000 MB free disk space.
Do not connect the USB-interface cable to your PC before the Pyro Developer Tool has been installed. The software will install automatically the appropriate USB-drivers.

Installation steps:

• Download the Pyro Developer Tool from the downloads tab on www.pyroscience.com
• unzip and start the installer and follow the instructions
• connect the interface plug of the USB interface cable the connector X1 of the Pico-O2
• connect the USB plug to an USB port of the PC. The status LED of the Pico-O2 should flash shortly indicating the correct startup of the module.
• Start the Pyro Developer Tool software.

Using the software Pyro Developer Tool
Please refer to the Pyro Developer Tool manual for general operation instructions for the software (available on our website). Please refer to the Oxygen Sensor manual for general information on handling and calibration of the oxygen sensors (available on our website).

OPTION 3: SIMPLIFIED CUSTOM INTEGRATION

A simplified custom integration of the module can be realized by adjusting the settings and performing sensor calibrations using the PyroScience software Pyro Workbench or the more advanced software Pyro Developer Tool (both requiring the encoded USB interface cable PICO-USB). After closing the software, the configuration is automatically saved within the internal flash memory of the module. The module can then be integrated into a specific setup, and your custom software can perform measurements using a proprietary USB/UART communication protocol.

Configuring the Module using PyroScience Software

Please install either the Pyro Workbench or the Pyro Developer Tool. Follow chapter 3 or chapter 4, respectively, how to operate the module with the PyroScience software. Adjust the settings and perform the required calibrations of the sensor.
After the module has been configured, close the PyroScience software. The configuration is automatically saved within the internal flash memory. This means that the adjusted settings and the last sensor calibration are persistent even after a power cycle of the module. Now the module can be integrated into a customer specific setup via its UART interface (or via the USB interface cable with its virtual COM port).

Electrical Connector for Custom Integration

The electrical interface of the Pico-O2 consists of the connector X1 (Figure 6). The package includes the fitting connector plug S1 (manufacturer: Phoenix Contact, type: PTSM0,5/4-P-2,5, Item no.: 1778858). Stripped cable ends can be connected to S1 without any soldering or crimping. When inserting or removing a stripped cable end (stripping length 6 mm, max. core diameter 0.5 mm²) into one of the connector holes of the connector S1, an internal spring mechanism has to be unlocked. This can be achieved by pushing relatively strongly with a small screw-driver (flat-bladed 2 mm in width) into the adjacent rectangular hole (Figure 6). The same manufacturer offers also fitting connector plugs for PCB mounting (details on request).

The pin configuration of the connector X1 is given in Table 2.

Configuration of the Serial Interface
Pico-O2 is operated via a serial interface, which is realized as a UART interface consisting of a receive and a transmit line. The configuration of the UART-interface is as follows: 19200 baud, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, no handshake Such an UART interface is very common for microcontrollers or microcontroller boards (e.g. Arduino or Raspberry Pi). The module can be directly connected to such UART interfaces without any further interface electronics.

Note : The serial interface of this module is not an RS232 interface. However, the UART interface can be made compatible to RS232 by integrating an appropriate “level shifter electronics”.

Communication Protocol

General Definitions
A command always starts with a specific command header (e.g. MEA, #VERS,

LOGO) optionally followed by several input parameters. Input parameters are

given as human readable decimal numbers, separated by spaces from each other. Each command must be terminated by a carriage return. If the command could be successfully interpreted by the module, the response is sent back to the master after completion of the requested task. The first part of response consists always of a copy of the original command, optionally appended with output parameters, and again terminated by a carriage return. After a response has been received by the master, the module is immediately ready for receiving the next command. If the internal processing of the received command causes any error within the module, the response will be the error header #ERRO followed by a space and an error code (see below).

MEA – Trigger Measurement
This command triggers a measurement and returns the results.

• Command: MEA˽C˽S↵
• Response : MEA˽C˽S˽R0˽R1…R17↵

Input Parameters:

• C : Optical channel number. Set C=1.

• S : If in doubt, then set S to 47!
  This parameter defines the enabled sensor types, given as decimal representation of the following bit field:Bit 0 (add 1): optical channel

  Bit 1 (add 2): sample temperature (typ. the external Pt100-

sensor)

Bit 2 (add 4): ambient air pressure
Bit 3 (add 8): relative humidity within the module
Bit 4 (add 16): reserved
Bit 5 (add 32): case temperature (temperature within the

module)

Example : S = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 32 = 47 means, that the command will trigger the following measurements: optical channel (oxygen), sample temperature, case temperature, ambient air pressure, and relative humidity within the module housing.

Output Parameters:

R0: Returns errors and/or warnings of the last measurement as a decimal representation of the following bit field. The user has to distinguish between warnings and errors. A warning indicates, that the measurement results are in principle still valid, but their precision and/or accuracy might be deteriorated. An error means, that the respective measurement result is not at all valid.

Bit 0 (add 1): WARNING – automatic amplification level active

Bit 1 (add 2): WARNING – sensor signal intensity low
Bit 2 (add 4): ERROR – optical detector saturated
Bit 3 (add 8): WARNING – reference signal intensity too low
Bit 4 (add 16): ERROR – reference signal too high
Bit 5 (add 32): ERROR – failure of sample temperature sensor

(e.g. Pt100)

Bit 6 (add 64): reserved
Bit 7 (add 128): WARNING high humidity (>90%RH) within the

module

Bit 8 (add 256): ERROR – failure of case temperature sensor
Bit 9 (add 512): ERROR – failure of pressure sensor
Bit 10 (add 1024): ERROR – failure of humidity sensor

Example : R0 = 34 = 2 + 32 means, that there is a warning about low signal intensity of the optical sensor, and that the external temperature sensor (Pt100) had a failure. If R0 = 0 then no error or warning appeared.

This command is the essential command for triggering measurements. If the input parameter S is requesting several sensor types to be measured, the optical oxygen measurement (“optical channel”) is always performed as the last measurement. This ensures that for enabled automatic temperature compensation the sample temperature measurement (typ. external Pt100) is done before it is then used for compensating the oxygen measurement.

IMPORTANT : If automatic temperature compensation is enabled for the optical sensor, it is mandatory to enable Bit1 of the input parameter S!

The output parameters umolar, mbar, airSat, percentO2, and tempSample give the results of the oxygen measurement and of the temperature measurement (typ. external Pt100). The output parameter signalIntensity is a measure of the signal quality (“signal intensity”) of the connected optical sensor. As a rule of thumb, typical values will be in the range of 20-500 mV. Low signal intensities (<50 mV) might lead to noisy oxygen measurements. A low signal intensity might be an indicator that the sensor is not configured optimally and/or that the sensor is “worn out”/depleted and has to be replaced. Please note, that the signal intensity is also dependent on the actually measured oxygen value. Low oxygen values have a high signal intensity, high oxygen values have a lower signal intensity. The output parameter ambientLight is a measure how much ambient infrared light is entering the oxygen sensor. In principle, such ambient light is not influencing the oxygen measurement. However, excess ambient light might lead to a saturation of the optical detector (indicated by an enabled ERROR Bit2 in R0), which will lead to an invalid oxygen measurement. As a rule of thumb, the sum of signalIntensity and ambientLight should be kept below ca. 2000 mV (the optical detector saturates around 2500 mV).

The output parameter ambientLight is a measure how much ambient infrared light is entering the oxygen sensor. In principle, such ambient light is not influencing the oxygen measurement. However, excess ambient light might lead to a saturation of the optical detector (indicated by an enabled ERROR Bit2 in R0), which will lead to an invalid oxygen measurement. As a rule of thumb, the sum of signalIntensity and ambientLight should be kept below ca. 2000 mV (the optical detector saturates around 2500 mV).
