Future work on this data can be carried out whilst the SMART communicator is connected to the loop, in which case all changes will be immediately sent to the MSM400, or after disconnection of the Communicator, in which case the amended programme will have to be stored in the “OFFLINE” register of the communicator.

The Psion Organiser has four separate registers of data relating to the MSM400 control unit. These registers are named WORKING, SAFE, OFF-LINE and DEFAULT, and are explained in Section D13.0. All changes and operations occur in the Working Register, identified by W on the right hand end of line 2 on the display. The other registers are for storage and transfer of data between transmitters or for reference.

D7.0 Introduction and FUNCTION menu

The microprocessor in the MSM400 control unit retains the calibration required for the particular application or tank involved, once this has been entered into the memory (EEPROM). On the initial interrogation of the control unit, this information is transferred to the SMART Communicator using the HART protocol, which defines the command structure and message format.

When received by the SMART Communicator, these messages are loaded into the WORKING register (which resides in the Psion Organiser memory), which then adds the descriptions and other information shown on the 4 line liquid crystal display. The operator is presented with the information he requested, in a meaningful format in relation to the application.

The first selections of the MSM400 control unit programme use a menu structure, where the operator identifies the part of the programme required from a list of options available. The detailed information under each menu item can be inspected, after selection, by scrolling through the listing. Each item is given an identifier in the top right hand corner of the screen, identified by a parameter reference number, to allow accurate recording of the data interrogated and to simplify communications relating to this data.

The programme is divided into two main sets of data, selected from the FUNCTION menu. The FUNCTION menu is the first programme screen presented when the data from the control unit is accepted and interrogation is to begin.

MONITOR – The data presented on selecting MONITOR is the live “read only” information from the control unit, for example the liquid level in the tank, and the value of the current output. These parameters are labelled D, for Display information parameters, and are indexed between D200 and D265. The Display parameters are described and listed in Section D10.0

PROGRAM – The data presented on selecting PROGRAM is the operator adjustable data used to configure the control unit for the particular application. These are “read/write” parameters, labelled P for Program parameter, and are indexed from P300 to L104. The Program parameters are described and listed in Section D10.0

FIXED DATA – These are the MOBREY factory preset display parameters, identifying the equipment type, serial number, software information, etc.

BACK UP – This menu item controls the transfer of data between registers or a file available in the Psion Organiser memory: operation is described in Section D13.0.

D** - Allows direct access to a Display parameter by entering the relevant code number.

HELP – The HELP information display screens give some introductory advice on the use of the keys on the Psion Organiser and the Programme structure.
