Pressure Systems, Inc. Model 9116 User’s Manual

Additional enhancements to the Model 9116

Software Scan List Speeds:

Software Scan lists can be run as fast as hardware trigger scan lists on the Model 9116 (~500 Hz. See specification sheet). The Model 9016 was limited to 100 Hz maximum software trigger scan lists.

Firmware Updates/Boot Loader:

The firmware in the Model 9116 may be updated in situ, over its Ethernet connection. This is the preferred method for updating the firmware and may be invoked at any time. (See Section 5.2.1).

The user must connect to the updated module. Establishing a TCP/IP connection is the last step in validating a successful firmware update. If the unit is power-cycled four times without establishing a TCP/IP connection, the firmware update will be tagged as invalid. The Model 9116 contains a protected resident boot loader that will then take over operation of the module. The resident boot loader resides in protected memory. It monitors the state of the firmware and the operation of any downloads. Even in the event of a power failure during a firmware update, upon return of power, the resident boot loader will be available, and will establish communications for downloading new firmware. The user can determine that the Model 9116 is in boot loader mode by observing that the firmware version reported by the module is less than 1.0 In boot loader mode, the Model 9116 will return an ‘N08’ in response to the ‘a’, ‘c’, ‘m’, ‘n’, ‘r’, and ‘t’ commands.

1.3Options

1.3.1Pressure Ranges

Model 9116 contains sixteen (16) DH200 transducers. These transducers are available with full scale pressure ranges from 10" H2O (inches of water column) to 750 psid (2.5 kPa to 5200 kPa). Transducers with different pressure ranges may be combined in a single module.

Please consult the Sales Department at Pressure Systems for availability of other pressure ranges (1-800-678-SCAN (7226)).

1.3.2Manifolds and Pressure Connections

Model 9116 sixteen-channel Intelligent Pressure Scanners are available with a true differential or common reference pneumatic manifold, and have a standard purge and leak check manifold. They are available with standard 1/8" or optional 1/16" and 1/4" compression fittings. All fittings utilize an SAE 5/16 - 24 O-ring boss which supports a variety of other adapter compression fittings. They are also available with a quick disconnect plate which contains 0.063" bulge tubulation. The common differential version is available with all choices of fittings. The true differential version is available with 0.063" bulged tubulation fittings only.

Consult the Sales Department at Pressure Systems at 1-800-678-SCAN (7226) for availability of other input fittings.
