DCP200 Profile Controller & Recorder - Product Manual

Changing the Start-up Splash Screen

The graphic shown during the instrument start-up sequence can be changed from the main parameter screen. Select Download Splash Screen option from the Device menu. Choose your new graphic file (most common file types are supported). The chosen image will converted to monochrome and be rescaled to 160 pixels wide by 80 pixels high. For best results, the image should be simple and have an aspect ration of 2:1. Complex graphics with multiple colours or greyscales will not reproduce well. A preview of the results is shown. Click the Download button to store it to the instrument.

Changing the Alternate Display Language

The alternate language can be changed from the main parameter screen. Select the Download Language File option from the Device menu. Choose the correct file (language files have a .bin extension) and click the Open button to store it to the instrument.

Instrument Simulation

A fully functional and interactive instrument simulation is included with the software. This is linked to a simulated process, allowing changes to a configuration to be tested before use.

The simulated instrument can also be accessed and configured by pressing its “buttons” with your mouse, or by using the 4 arrow keys on your keyboard.

Active outputs are indicated in the panel to the right

Configuring The Connection

The software can communicate with the instrument via the RJ11 configuration socket located on the underside of the case, or via the Modbus TCP or RS485 communications options if either is fitted. Refer to the wiring section for connection details.

The configuration socket is intended for initial configuration of the instrument before installing in the application. An RS232 to TTL lead (available from your supplier) is required connect from the PCs RS232 serial port to this socket.

A front mounted USB port is available on some models; this can also be used to configure the instrument or transfer profile files, via a USB memory stick.

CAUTION:

The configuration lead/socket is not isolated from the process input or SSR Driver outputs. It is not intended for use in live applications.
