Module Configuration

Relay board installation, High-Capacity Module

Relay board installation, DAQ-STAQ

Module

Relay Boards• Before installing a module, the slot must be

configured with the appropriate relay board.• Relay boards are unique to the module type

and are not interchangeable.• Once a slot has been configured with a relay

board, only modules of the appropriate type can be used in the slot.

• Customers can easily add relay boards and reconfigure slots as desired.

• Relays will deteriorate with time but are replaceable.

• Relay life cycle is expected to be 5 yrs. at full speed 24 hrs/day.

• Modules and relay boards can be purchased separately.

The 1586A Super-DAQ can operate in four modes from a single instrument…

Scan – Monitor – Measure – Digital Multimeter (DMM)

• Sequentially scan through channels based on a user defined test

• Monitor any single channel during a scan

• Measure and record data on a single channel without the need of a pre-configured test file

• Or use the 1586A like a familiar bench digital multimeter


Trigger Types Interval – allows the user to program a timed delay between scans External – a scan starts when the input on the Digital I/O port detects a low condition Alarm – a scan will start when a HI or LO channel alarm is tripped Manual – user manually pushes the Scan/Monitor key on the front panel to start a scan Automated Test (unique to the 1586A) – when the 1586A is connected to a Fluke

temperature source (drywell/bath), an automatic calibration routine can be started

Scan Mode The Scan function is the primary mode of operation It sequentially measures each configured and active channel Scans are started manually by the user or by an internal or

external Trigger If “Auto Recording” is set to ON, the 1586A automatically

records the scan data when the scan is started. If set to OFF, the user must manually push the Record key to

record the measurement data.



Align Channels

Allows the user to “zero” measured offsets between channels relative to a designated reference channel

An Mx+B offset is automatically applied to the selected channels to eliminate the differences between sensors

This is especially useful for validation applications where temperature uniformity of a chamber, freezer, or furnace is mapped



Monitor Mode Allows the users to view the results of a single channel without interrupting an

active scan Can monitor a single channel without having initiated a scan Can help to ensure that all connections and channels have been setup properly

before initiating a scan Statistics can be viewed while monitoring and measurements can be graphed Recording cannot be started while monitoring a single channel



Measure Mode

Allows users to quickly connect test leads to the front panel channel to make voltage, resistance, and current, measurements

Measures channel 001 only It is not necessary to configure the front channel in Channel

Setup to use the DMM function Statistics & graphing view and recording are all available in

DMM mode Cannot be used while scanning

DMM Mode

This function can be useful to check channel configuration and setup or as a diagnostic mode for testing and troubleshooting

Allows the user to quickly measure a single, pre-configured channel Graphing and statistical data are available to the user Measurements can be made immediately (triggers are ignored) Measurement data can be recorded by pressing the Record key Cannot be used while scanning



Real-time graphing in color

• View real time data for all channels in table format

• Chart up to four channels in color at the same time

• Zoom in or out to see data of interest and monitor trends

• Switch between chart view and table view of various measurement data and statistics

• History mode lets you scroll through collected data in a scan file (without a PC and expensive charting programs)

Data portability and security

• 20MB internal memory

• Transfer data and set-up files using USB flash drive or over network using LAN interface

• Two-levels of data security (admin and user profiles) to prevent unauthorized users from tampering with or forging test data or setup files

• Data security is used to secure data files that are traceable back to the user that performed the test (referred to as test traceability)

• Comprised of two tiers—an Administrator and up to five Users

• Scans may also be started by a Guest if the user does not have a password

• The administrator is the only one who can assign or delete authorized users


Automated sensor calibration

• Use the 1586A Super-DAQ to control a Fluke Calibration drywell or bath for an automated calibration routine

• The Super-DAQ ramps the drywell or bath through a series of user defined setpoint temperatures

• At each setpoint, the 1586A automatically records readings for the reference thermometer and one or more sensors under test

• Sensor calibration can be greatly automated using this feature… improving your lab efficiency

Key Features

Channel Configuration The channel number consists of three digits (Ch XXX) The first digit represents the slot number (1 or 2) The last two digits refer to the input terminal number (1 – 22) Channels X1-X20 are the universal input terminal (VDC, resistance, temperature) Channels X21-X22 are the dedicated current channels (High-Capacity module only) Channel 001 is the front panel channel (Temperature, VDC, DCI, resistance)


Key Features

Channel Configuration (cont.) When a channel is configured for a 3-, or 4-wire input, the high & low sense of its adjacent

channel is used For example, if channel 101 is configured for a 4-wire input, channel 111 is its adjacent

channel (this is true for both modules as shown below) The 1586A indicates that channel 111 cannot be configured for another input

1586-2588 DAQ-STAQ 10 PRT/thermistor inputs max 20 thermocouple inputs max


Key Features

Digital Input/Output (DIO) (Ch 401)

The 1586A can sense and output a digital, 8-bit, transistor-transistor logic (TTL) value This value that can be displayed as an 8-bit TTL value and be recorded as a decimal

equivalent (on channel 401) This is accomplished with the rear-panel digital I/O connectors (DIO)

Totalizer (Ch 402) When a digital input is connected to the TOT input on the rear panel and

Ch402 is set to on, the 1586A counts each time the dc voltage of the signal transitions from high to low or a contact closes to ground (GND)

The totalizer can count up to 1,048,575 (20 bits)

1586A rear panel DIO/TOT inputs

Channel Configuration (cont.)


Key Features

Math channels (Ch 501 – 520) The Super-DAQ has 20 math channels – channels 501 - 520 Apply a math conversion to a single channel, or to a range of channels using preset math

functions (summarized in the tables below) Combine measurement values and display the results on a designated math channel as a

single number and can be scanned and recorded Complicated expressions can be made with a math channel that uses the calculations from

two other math channels



Key Features

Alarms Each channel can be assigned two independent alarms to indicate when either an upper (HI)

or lower (LO) range has been exceeded If an alarm trips, the measurement value on the display changes to red and stays red until

the measurement is back inside the normal range The alarms can output a digital signal from the rear-panel alarm output for control of

external devices
