General Information

1.1Introduction

This User’s Manual will:

!Explain the electrical and pneumatic pressure connections for the Model 9116 Intelligent Pressure Scanner.

!Provide computer set-up instructions to make a proper Ethernet connection on most Windows® 95/98/XP/NT-based personal computers.

!Instruct you on using the PSI start-up software to manipulate and acquire data from each module.

!Instruct you on how to program each module with computer software.

Model 9116 is a pneumatic Intelligent Pressure Scanner, with integral pressure transducers and a pneumatic calibration manifold.

The Model 9116 provides engineering unit pressure data with guaranteed system accuracy. This is achieved by reading factory-determined pressure and temperature engineering-unit data conversion coefficients from its transducers’ nonvolatile memories at power-up. It also allows additional adjustment coefficients to be “fine-tuned” with a multi-point calibration under host control (e.g., possibly utilizing optional Pressure Systems 903x Pressure Calibrator modules).

Model 9116 provides an auto-configuring 10BaseT/100BaseT Ethernet communications port. Half duplex/full duplex operation is also automatically configured. The Model 9116 communicates using the TCP/UDP/IP protocols.

The Model 9116 Intelligent Pressure Scanner is a component of a networked data acquisition concept called the NetScanner™ System. Multiple NetScanner modules measuring a wide variety of parameters can be networked to form a distributed intelligent data acquisition system.
