8 1 - Introduction Short description DuoSens: Highly configurable data logger SDI, Impulse and Analogue input channels, 1 output channel, 4 MB ring buffer, jog shuttle, Configuration Program: DuoSens, DuoSens 2, DuoSens Explanation of functionality Showing an example Exercise and solution Hints Practise

9 2 Communication with DuoSens Choose right COM Port, Speed: Auto For on site communication the IrDA with OTT DuoLink is recommended, sometimes RS232C is used. For remote communication choose AT-Modem/Adapter Press desired function (next chapter). For Modem/ISDN type in number (plus pre-dialling string) and e. g. for ELSA Microlink 56 k initialisation string.

10 2 Communication with DuoSens Check date and time of DuoSens via direct communication (IrDA) and via modem (GSM): 1. Choose IrDA OTT Duolink, choose COM Port 1, Speed: Auto, Choose DuoSens/ Date & Time After checking the date click on Cancel to exit the date & time area. Then click on Exit to stop communication (especially on remote parameterization via Modem or ISDN).. 2. Choose AT-Modem/Adapter, choose COM Port 1, Speed: Auto, Choose DuoSens/ Date & Time, type in telephone number, no pre-dialling string, check Hayes compatible

11 3 - Time & Date, Password, Delete Memory All Functions for DuoSens operations are listed under menu DuoSens Read configuration from DuoSens Program configuration to DuoSens Check and set date / time Delete data memory Enter Terminal mode for all functions (for advanced users) Enter password (access only to authorised persons) New firmware for DuoSens (new functions etc)

12 3 - Time & Date, Password, Delete Memory If password is set for DuoSens, type in the password! If not, redo this exercise after reading chapter 6. Set actual date & time via OTT DuoLink. Now delete memory. Normally setting the date & time means synchronizing PC time with DuoSens time (compare!), so check your PC time first. You can set the DuoSens to any date and time by changing the suggestion. Press Refresh to see the actual time of DuoSens. Best solution is to run DuoSens on local winter time (no change in summer)! Keep your password secure! Before deleting memory, load data from DuoSens! You have to delete memory after new installation, significant change in configuration or in case of fault.

13 4 - Program, Write, Export / Read, Load, Import 3 types of handling configurations: Read from and program to DuoSens. Remember menu DuoSens. Load from and save to internal database. See also menu Configurations. Import from and export to bin-file. Only menu File. Export to station details to Hydras3

14 4 - Program, Write, Export / Read, Load, Import Set up communication to DuoSens. Read configuration from DuoSens. Then program configuration back to DuoSens, write configuration in internal database and export configuration to external file (e. g. c:\programs\ott\logocnf\files\test.bin). Now load configuration from internal database and import configuration from external file (see above). Before programming a new configuration to DuoSens first read configuration and export it with name old.bin. Actual configuration should be stored in internal database. If someone needs your configuration, export it to filename act.bin and transfer your file to the network (or just save it to disk). Then the user can import it to use it e. g. for another DuoSens.

15 5 - New Configurations Explanation of structure Choose menu file / new configuration. Right beside the tree structure you see the general information of the DuoSens: number, name and time zone (all can be altered). Below date and time of last download of configuration and parameters are listed. The version number (of firmware) is shown only after new reading of configuration. With the tree structure any parameter of DuoSens can be accessed: communication interface, alarm management, channel definition.

16 5 - New Configurations Explanation of structure Read configuration from DuoSens. Check download time and version number. Save configuration to internal database. To ensure that you don t write the false configuration to the DuoSens, first read configuration and compare station number. Create new configuration, change number ( ), name ( first test ) and time zone ( -4h, important for satellite communication). Save configuration to internal database. Setting up a password (e. g. last four digits of telephone number) is another possibility to prevent overwriting with wrong configuration (see next page). Program this configuration to DuoSens. Read configuration from DuoSens. Check download time again.

17 6 - Communication interface RS232 interface can be used for modem/adapter, satellite communication (METEOSAT/GOES) and SDI communication (RS232 disabled). Submenus are General, Modem/ Adapter, METEOSAT/GOES, SDI-Slave, SMS-Data (only visible after choosing GSM-Modem with SMS). Baud rate has to be selected for modem/adapter only. Activation control via relay contact is only available for modem/adapter. Data bits, Parity and stop bits are fixed. Address number can be used as password to prevent unauthorized data transfer. Password (max. 8 char: 0-9, A-Z)

18 6 - Communication interface Setting up a modem/terminal adapter: Check Modem connected to RS232C. Type in initialization string (or choose one of presets). Now go back to menu general and choose baud rate (e. g ). To save energy (or for reinitialization purposes) Choose relay contact M 3-4. Set up activation time(s) and duration (for daily initialization use activation time 00:01 and duration of 1438 min.).

19 6 - Communication interface Settings to send SMS (messages and data), fax and (only messages): Check GSM modem with SMS Type in GSM service center phone no. SMS data functionality Special program SMS Receiver needed! Check Transmission SMS Cycle standard: e. g. 6 h Cycle limit event: e. g. 1 h Number of SMS receiver (Base Station) No. of max. following SMS: 1 Check sensors for transmission

20 7 - Alarm Management Alarm will be send on special conditions to address group. Click New to enter new address. Alarm message to mobile phone via SMS: Type in mobile phone no. Choose modem/adapter Choose SMS Choose Text SMS prefix: prefix for SMS text Alarm message to fax and is similar!

21 7 - Alarm Management Alarm message to Hydras 3: Type in phone no. of Hydras 3 computer Choose modem/adapter Choose modem passive Choose OTT protocol standard Choose no. of dealings Choose reading pause (min.) Alarm message to terminal program Type in phone no. Choose modem/adapter Choose modem active Choose protocol type text

22 7 - Alarm Management Alarm with external device (e. g. Bell, Flashing Light): Choose relay switch output Choose M1-2 Choose OTT protocol standard Choose switch time (s), 0 means on/off will last till next variation.

23 7 - Alarm Management Other alarm possibilities: To activate cycle limit for SMS data transfer.

24 7 - Alarm Management Alarm can be sent only to address group: Click on Address groups / New Type in Name Drag & drop address from right to left window To delete address from group: mark address and press del

25 7 - Alarm Management Set up alarm-address with SMS message to your mobile phone. Set up alarm-address for Hydras 3 alert. You can set up different alarm levels (values run over/under specified limits). These can trigger different alarm addresses. So depending on the limit you should send s (uncritical) Set up alarm-address-group with all three addresses.

27 8 GPRS Settings

28 8 GPRS Settings Select your Service Provider ( SIM Card) Automatically assigns Operator fields Passive FTP is recommended (not possible with the edevice modem). If issues occur try active FTP Enter the server Info Server path might be left blank but if defined, it has to exist! Case Sensitive Operator Independant Attention: for server path use / to separate different levels and not the common one from Windows \. See example above!

29 9 - Channel Configuration Any channel with a sensor should consist of Information of channel (number, name, unit and no. of decimal places) Measuring cycle (sampling interval from 5 s to 24 h) Definition for input channel Scaling if desired Instantaneous value (DuoSens will show value in display) Store (value will be stored in memory)

30 Channel Configuration Menu structure for definition of channels: Drag & drop functions to tree structure (will appear below actual position) Create new channel Meas. cycle (interval) Input sensors: Analogue: U, I, Pt100, NTC, Conduc., U DuoSens Input sensors: Digital: Status, Pulse, Freq RainGauge Input sensors: Serial: Kalesto, SDI12, Smart S., HydroSens SPI Scaling, table, storage delta, mean (over time), limits for alarm, mean wind. Store, Instantane ous value, Relay switch output, HydroSens SPI Virtual sensors & terminals,

31 Channel Configuration DuoSens will work through configuration from top to down one channel after the other. Channel will be handled only if measurement cycle is triggered by internal time. Create new configuration. Click on channel. Drag & drop new channel before existing channel. (New channel is now the first one in workflow) Click on meas. cycle, drag & drop meas. cycle internal.

32 Channel Configuration Set number (0001), name ( Water Level 1 ) and unit ( m ) of sensor. Set meas. Cycle to 1 min. Complete new channel with SDI 12 (on terminal block A 3-4 ), scaling, instantaneous value and store. Create another sensor at the end of configuration: Number: 0002 Name: Temperature Unit: C Meas. Cycle: 15 min. Sensor: Virtual Sensor [ V01] Scaling, instantaneous value, store Order of channels can t be changed after definition. Do delete definition, mark row and press del. Channel can t be deleted before all adjacent channelconfigurations are deleted.

33 Channel Configuration Virtual sensor and virtual terminal (V1 to V64) Allows a very wide variety of functionality: Some sensors apply values to normal sensor and to virtual sensor Access to virtual sensors is very fast (normal sensors delay program: meas. time). Allow complex calculations. Duplicate Sensors for output in different units (m and feet). Complex limit definitions. First apply value (actual value in channel) to virtual terminal. Now value can be accessed with virtual sensor.

34 Channel Configuration Mean arithmetic (4x) Sum, difference and mean of up to 4 values You have to define virtual sensors for input first. Output is set to actual value in channel and can be applied to virtual terminal. Mode can be set to ( ) / n (n is number of valid virtual sensors)

35 Channel Configuration Mean (in time domain) Mean interval should be multiple of measuring interval (3 min. > 6, 9, 12,15 min.). Can be used for highly altering values and to save memory: Set meas. cycle to 1 min. Set mean to 15 min. (1 good value) Values will be stored with 15 min. interval.

36 Channel Configuration Limit / threshold is used to trigger alarm (message) and higher cycle for SMS data transmission. Value is compared with limit: If limit is reached, alarm will be triggerd. Hysteresis: change of value before new alarm is generated. Tolerance: How many times must value reach limit. Gradient; Value increases or decreases with specified gradient. After dead time new alarm is generated. Operating area: Gradient limit control will only be active when values are in operating area.

37 Channel Configuration Scaling Scaling y=ax+b: used to define offset and transformation between units. Also used if you want to set value manually. 2 point scaling: see above; especially used to transform electrical signal to meteorological/hydrological value. Linearization table: This can be used to correct nonlinear sensor or to define area as function of water level. Tables can be saved and loaded from disk.

38 Channel Configuration Storing and Output Storage delta (submenu processing): useful for precipitation; will filter data if there is no change in value, store is still needed. Store: Values are stored in memory. Relay function M 3-4: switch on or off for specified seconds. Former status will be lost, hard on/off..

39 Channel Configuration Now try to write your own configurations. Play around with functionality. Try different sensors. Set up alarms

40 9 - Print Configuration Menu for printing connection diagram and configuration is found under file / print Connection diagram makes it easier to connect sensors with correct wiring.

41 9 - Print Configuration Configuration in DuoSens operating program can t be seen with all details at once (you have to click on any row to see the details). But you can export configuration in file (which can be printed) in two formats (examples of the configuration on right is shown on next page).

42 9 - Print Configuration Configuration can be printed as normal textfile (see right) or as XML-file (see below, tags shown with MS Internet Explorer). <STATION> <DEVICETYPE>OTT DUOSENS</DEVICETYPE> <STATIONID> </STATIONID> <STATIONNAME>OPW DuoSens Template Program</STATIONNAME> <STATIONUTC>+00:00</STATIONUTC> <STATIONPHONENO1> </STATIONPHONENO1> <SENSOR> <SENSORID>0001</SENSORID> <SENSORNAME>Waterlevel</SENSORNAME> <UNIT>m</UNIT> <RIGHTDIGITS>3</RIGHTDIGITS> <AXISLABEL>Waterlevel</AXISLABEL> <INTERVAL>9000</INTERVAL> </SENSOR> <SENSOR> <SENSORID>0002</SENSORID> <SENSORNAME>Watertemp.</SENSORNAME> <UNIT> C</UNIT> <RIGHTDIGITS>1</RIGHTDIGITS> <AXISLABEL>Watertemp.</AXISLABEL> <INTERVAL>36000</INTERVAL> </SENSOR> <SENSOR> <SENSORID>0003</SENSORID> <SENSORNAME>Voltage</SENSORNAME> <UNIT>Volt</UNIT> <RIGHTDIGITS>2</RIGHTDIGITS> <AXISLABEL>Voltage</AXISLABEL> <INTERVAL>36000</INTERVAL> </SENSOR> </STATION> DuoSens: Number: Name: OPW DuoSens Template Program Timezone: UTC/GMT +00:00 Activate DST for display and output: No Communication interface COM1: General: Baudrate: (8N1) Address no.: 1111 Password: - Activation control via switching output at terminal block: M 3-4 Activation times 1-4: 09:30 / 29:59 / 15:00 / 29:59 Duration ( 1..98, 99 = always on ): 60min Lag time [s]: 10 s Modem / Terminal adapter connected to RS232C: Yes Initializing: AT&FE0&D0S0=5+IFC=0,0 Dial no.: GSM modem: Yes GSM service center - phone no.: GSM service center - FAX no. prefix: PDU send string 1 (first 3 octets/smsc) [octets]: PDU send string 2 ( PDU-PID / -DCS / -VP ) [3 octets]: 00F6AA Self timed data transmission mode: 1 Cycle Standard: 24h Transmission start time offset: 07:15 Cycle Limit event: 2h Cycle Limit event: 2h Cycle Limit event: 2h Cycle Limit event: 2h Cycle Limit event: 2h Dial no.: Protocol type: OTT protocol binary Maximum number of additional SMS per transmission: 2 Channel(s) transmitted: 0001 Inmarsat-C transceiver connected to RS232: No ORBCOMM transmitter connected to RS232: No SDI-12 connected (RS232 disabled): No Alarm management: Address gro ups: Display / Observer: Observer Manual input: Yes Calculate manual input value with scaling: Yes Suppress display of instantaneous value before input: No Extended observer (store and transmit number): No Password for display ('Address No. / PIN' of COM1): Yes Date / time operation: Date and time Channel: Number: 0001 Name: Waterlevel Unit: m Decimal places: 3 Meas. cycle: Sample interval: 00:15:00 SDI-12 Master: Terminal block: A 3-4 Slave address: 0 Measurement mode: M!

43 Now you are able to Export a configuration in a format, which Hydras 3 can import. Benefit: The names of station and sensors are taken over. Telephone number is insert on communication properties.

44 10 Hydras3 Settings Select Station Properties Make sure to enter 1111 as a password to access the data remotley if the password is set on the display of the DuoSens Select OK

45 10 - New Program Code (Firmware) DuoSens can be updated with new program code (Firmware) to implement new functions (e. g. update to V1.12 enables GPRS data transfer). Click DuoSens / new program code. Click Yes. If no connection is established, follow instructions. Normally memory has not to be deleted. Direct transfer is recommended (remote connections sometimes break down and DuoSens could freeze in). At least you should have the possibility to drive to the station in case of failure.

46 11 - Terminal Mode (for advanced users) In terminal mode all functions of menu DuoSens can be accessed with direct command and some more. Any command begins with CL/ Type CL/Help (and Enter) to list all commands with syntax and explanation. If problem occurs with DuoSens please try CL/Rebuild.

47 Connection and configuration of sensors

48 12 Things to remember RS485 (OTT SDI) is a bus system. The first and the last device of the bus should include a shunt resistor of 120 (CBS has dip switches to select RS485 with or without shunt). DuoSens has the shunt included (for the dedicated RS485 input), LogoSens not (because of universal inputs). SDI-12 input at LogoSens needs an additional connection of Gnd of the sensor (e. g. terminal block A3+A4) to Gnd of LogoSens (terminal block T3). You should also use a 4,7 k shunt resistor for the SDI-12 bus (till now skipped in OTT systems without problems). SE200 should be powered permanently (even during storage) to preserve internal battery 4-20 ma output of LogoSens as well as for all new OTT sensors is passive that means you need to set up a loop including power supply (check manual). First program configuration, then connect sensors.

49 12 Connections Check manuals of sensor (and datalogger) for physical connection! In general use RS485 connection (OTT SDI) if possible: longer distance because of high disturbance resistance (with twisted wires). Binary mode for firmware update (LogoSens, especially DuoSens)

50 12 OTTSDI // SDI-12 In channel 10 you define the virtual terminal V02 (e. g. PLS: first value is water level, second value is water temp.) In channel 130 no extra measurement is done (preferred! Saves time and all parameters belong to one time step). The value is given by virtual sensor V02 Changing the measurement mode to e. g. M1! gives access to different parameter set (depending on sensor).

51 12 Storage Delta Use storage delta module for precipitation measurement to save memory and transmission time! Can be used also for groundwater stations with slow/seldom changes of water level (e. g. change has to be 2 cm or greater).
