• Home page
• Intercomparison reference example
• Power: 18 VDC.
• Communications: 9600/8/N/1, 9-pin Dsub via NULL MODEM CABLE.
• Software: Use JG LabVIEW logger.

TSI 8520 DustTrak

• Manual
• Serial comms manual
• Power: 6 VDC, 300 mA.
• Communications: 1200/8/N/1, ethernet-style RJ-45 plug to 9-pin Dsub serial cable (TSI p/n 800563).

Yellow switching valves

• Power: 120 VAC 60Hz via US-standard plug.
• Communications: 9600/8/N/1, via on-board PIC
  • Xnnnnnnnnnnnn<EOL> switches the 12 channels on the ciruit board, where n = 0 or 1 correspondingly.
  • Sending power to the RED cable switches the valve in one direction, sending power to BLUE in the other. Powering BOTH simultaneously results in continuous rotation of the actuator.
• Software: Use JG LabVIEW logger.

Jayne switching valves

• Power: 5 VDC via servo board.
• Communications: 9600/8/N/1, via modem cable.
  • Sending 3-byte array of <255><Servo#><Valve Position> switches each servo in turn.
  • Servo# is 1->8 and is the INVERSE OF WHAT IS PRINTED ON THE BOARD
  • Valve position is 0->254
• Software: Use JG LabVIEW logger.
• Picture of a complete valve&servo setup.
• Part numbers and description:
  • Servos and parts from http://www.servocity.com, some also available at http://www.towerhobbies.com
    • 8-servo controller, part#SC8460 Picture. A single one of these controls all the valves.
    • PC programmer for Hi-Tec servos HPP-21, part#44440 Picture. This is used to setup rotation range, speed etc.
    • HS-985MG Servo Product # 32985S00 - make sure the 180-degree version. Picture.

    • SS-P6T-K4, nupro hub that needs to be machined.
  • Parts from the electronics shop or www.allied.com
    • Crydom solid state relay DC60S3 Picture. This is a clunky, but cheap, solution.

Jimenez Group Downloadable Field Instrument Software

This software can also be accessed via ftp client it is stored on the jimenez group server space under 'field_software'

• CPC Software
• PCI Software
• Valve Software v. 9 and 10 (discontinued)
• Master Valve Switching v1
• TSI Flowmeter Software
• Voodoo Software
• DustTrak Software

Programs that use NI USB DAC devices may need the mx task updating to match the device connected to the logging PC. See instructions at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9117075591E54E868625745D0053DCCA

You may also need to port the tasks over to a new logging computer, which is explained at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/42A2D212796B3DC2862571FF0061B402
