5 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND OPERATION


Use an external 10 A fuse for the power supply.
Installation and commissioning has to be done by professional electrical trained personnel.
The operation of this system can be done by any briefed person.
The installation of intrinsic safe circuits is only allowed for professional trained personnel with the
necessary knowledge of explosion protection.
As any other data acquisition system, the accuracy of the DMH should be reviewed periodically. If no
other regulations are to be followed, it is common practice to perform a calibration latest after each 12
month.

6 EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
The connectors of the DMH are located on the bottom side and in the most versions, they are permanent
labelled. As a standard product, two series of connectors and also a version with cable glands and are
available. For DMH with cable glands and for versions that are designed as per customer’s needs (“DMH
Custom”), the necessary connections can be found in the corresponding schematic.

6.3 INTRINSIC SAFE INPUTS (IS / EX-I)


Inputs that are labelled in blue with “(IS)” or “Ex-i” are equipped with a safety barrier for intrinsic safe
circuits for the usage in an Ex-zone. The IS-function is only ensured when the connected cable and

External connections

sensor are in proper condition, the electric parameters are suitable for the used barrier and the complete
system, including the enclosure, is grounded properly. Refer also to the manual of the barrier, the used
cable and the sensor. The installation of these circuits is only allowed for professional trained personnel
with knowledge of explosion protection in general and intrinsic safety in special.
Intrinsic safe sensors are used in the same way as standard sensors. The difference to standard sensors
consists of a certified safety barrier inside the box, the need for a certified sensor for intrinsic safe circuits
and the mathematical verification of the eligibility of the overall circuit. This verification has to be done for
each combination of barrier, cable and sensor separately.
In IS-circuits, the voltage for supplying the sensor can be reduced and the maximum power is limited.
For electrical parameters refer to the used barriers manual.

6.4 ANALOG IN
The analog inputs are suitable for passive and active 4..20 mA sensors.
The connection for passive analog sensors is also called 2-wire connection. The reading device powers
the sensor with voltage and the sensor reduces the current signal so that it corresponds to the value that
should be transmitted. Typically, the current is in a range of 4..20 mA that covers the complete range of
the physical signal that should be measured. In the case of a typical wellhead pressure sensor, 4 mA
refers to 0 bar / 0 psi and 20 mA refers to 1034 bar / 15.000 psi.
The connection for active analog sensors is also called 4-wire connection. The sensor can be powered
external, or by the reading device with voltage and an earth signal. The sensor sends out a current signal
that corresponds to the value that should be transmitted. Typically, the current is in a range of 4..20 mA
that covers the complete range of the physical signal that should be measured. In the case of a typical
electronic flowmeter, 4 mA refers to 0 lpm / 0 bpm and 20 mA refers to 10.000 lpm / 60 bpm.
For the adjustment of the sensors range, refer to the DMS software manual in the section DMH Config
Tool.

6.6 ENCODER INPUT


The Encoder input is suitable for quadrature encoder sensors that gives the speed and the direction.
This input is typically used for the calculation of the depth and speed of a coiled tubing string.
Encoders are equipped with two output channels that are switching on and off depending on the current
shaft angle. Since the two signals are phase shifted, it is possible to detect the direction of movement by
evaluating which signal was on high-level first. The frequency of the signals indicates the speed.
The ratio between mechanical speed and signal frequency depends on the geometric proportions, as
well as the signals per revolution from the encoder itself.

6.7 RELAY OUTPUT


Internally there is a passive relay connected to the pins of this connector. The relay can be used to
indicate some signal to an external device such as a warning lamp or a horn. The max. allowed voltage
is 24 V and the max. allowed current is 2 A.
In case the relay is set to latching or latching with auto reset mode, the corresponding digital PLC input
needs to be powered with 24V in order to release the relay.

Signal conditioning frequency and encoder

Figure 30: Analog output connection

7 SIGNAL CONDITIONING FREQUENCY AND ENCODER


Every frequency and every encoder input channel is equipped with signal conditioning circuit. This circuit
forms a rectangular pulse of 24 V height, to be read by the PLC. This circuit fits for reading proximity
switches, amplified pickups and non-amplified pickups as well as encoders.
Sinus signals from non-amplified pickups are formed to a square wave signal of the same frequency.
The input threshold to read a high pulse can be adjusted with a potentiometer. Two channels belong to
one potentiometer. The minimum input threshold can be lower than 40 mV what makes the DMH
compatible also to high pressure turbines with non-amplified pickups. To lower the threshold, turn the
corresponding potentiometer to the left. The maximum number of turns is 20. There is no end stop.
For amplified pickups, proximity switches and encoders, it is typically not necessary to change the input
threshold. In case the DMH recognizes signals from a noisy environment, the threshold can be increased
to be above 18 V. To increase the threshold, turn the corresponding potentiometer to the right. The
maximum number of turns is 20. There is no end stop.
To adjust the threshold, it is necessary to open the Pulse Amplifier. The following picture shows the 8-
channel amplifier and the potentiometer for channel two and three.

8 ON-OFF CIRCUIT
The “C”-pin on the power connector can be used to switch DMH on and off. This signal and the
corresponding circuit are optional. It can be used to switch the DMS on and off while it is permanently
connected to power. The usage of this mechanism is helpful to switch on DMH from an external device
with a voltage between 12-24VDC and a very low current draw.
The standard way of operation is to switch the DMH on and off by giving power to the “A”-pin. The “on/off”
terminal on the DC/DC converter is connected to terminal 1 and so it is connected to the “A”-pin and
permanent power in.

Figure 32: On-Off circuit inactive

For the usage of the on-off circuit, the terminal “on/off” of the DC/DC-converter has to be connected to
the terminal 3 and so it is connected to the “C”-pin on the power connector. Now it can be switched on
and off by the “C”-pin of the power connector. In off-condition, the DC/DC-converter draws typical 3mA.

10 DATA OUTPUT
The DMH sends out data via a standard Ethernet connection using TCP/IP. For this purpose, the DMH
acts as a TCP-server and waits for incoming connections.
On port 2000, 2001 and 2004, the DMH reads and sends data in the proprietary and binary DMH protocol.
This protocol is very efficient and it gives also the ability for configuring the DMH. For configuration, refer
to the DMS software manual in the section DMH Config Tool.
On port 2002 and 2003 DMH sends out unencrypted TCP-ASCII-data that can be read by any compatible
device. It can be read on any standard computer by using a TCP/IP terminal program.
The data stream on port 2002 and 2003 with n channels is built as shown in the following:

HH:MM:SS;[Value 1]; [Value 2]; [Value 3]; [Value 4]; … [Value n-1]; [Value n];CRLF

2. latching
The relay is activated when the set point is exceeded and will remain latched even if the set
point is undercut.
The relay is reset when corresponding digital input is powered with 24V and the “Release”
button is pressed while the set point is undercut.
3. latching auto reset
The relay is activated when the set point is exceeded and will remain latched even if the set
point is undercut.
