 General Module Information

Calibration information
All DEWETRON modules are calibrated at 25 °C and meet their specifications when leaving the factory.
The time interval for recalibration depends on environmental conditions. Typically, the calibration should be
checked once a year.
Calibration certificates are available from DEWETRON as an option. DEWETRON offers two types:
ISO traceable DEWETRON certificate
Calibration certificate according to ÖKD (equivalent to DKD)
This manual contains no calibration information. For self calibration, there is a seperate calibration kit for the
DAQ series modules available. The CAL-KIT contains the required cables, software and instructions.
Adjustment information are only mentioned if they are required for operation (e.g. DAQP-TRQ).

General Module Information

RS-232/485 interface
DAQP modules can be configured via RS-485 interface, PAD modules require this interface for all data
transfers. For all DEWETRON systems, an internal RS-232/485 converter is available (standard with DEWE-
2010, DEWE-3010, DEWE-4000 and DEWE-5000 systems). This converter allows communication with DAQP

DEWETRON RS-232/485
data acquisition RS-232 conversion on RS-485 DAQx or PAD
system interface DEWETRON- businterface module
motherboard

and PAD modules.

To communicate with the modules, the RS-232 interface has to be set to the following parameters:
baud rate: 9600 bps
data bits: 8
parity: no parity
stop bits: 1
handshake: not required

DAQP module configuration

The DAQP modules offer two possibilities to change the measurement range and the input filters:

1. Push button selection

All ranges and filters can be selected directly by pressing the push buttons on the module. Approx. 15 sec.
after changing range and / or filter, the range and filter information is stored in an EEPROM. This
procedure increases the livetime of the EEPROM.
The current input range setting is shown all the time by LED. To change the range just press
RANGE button a few times until the required range is displayed.
To see the current filter setting just press the FILTER button once. The corresponding LED is flashing for
approx. 3 seconds. Within this time, the filter can be selected by pressing the FILTER button again.
10 to 15 seconds after the last key activity, the information will be stored, the LED stops flashing and
shows the input range again.
CAUTION: Power loss during this time leaves the module in the former settings.

2. RS-232/485 programming
All ranges and filters can also be selected via RS-232/485 interface. All DEWE-2010, DEWE-3010, DEWE-
4000 and DEWE-5000 systems are prepared as a standard to work with DAQP modules.
The easiest way to change the configuration is to use the DEWE-CONFIG software, which comes as a
standard with the DEWETRON data acquisition system.
Detailed information about DAQP modules programming for customer applications is available in the
corresponding module section.
CAUTION: All range and filter changes which are done via RS-232/485 interface are not stored in the
EEPROM of the DAQP modules! You have to store this information in a separate initialisation file to keep
settings information for next system start!

 General Module Information

DAQP programming commands

The following commands are available for all DAQP modules. Detailed command description is available in
the corresponding module section.

1. Set module address

Change the current module address to a new address. To change address send the ‘set module address’-
command while the filter button on the module gets pressed. After that, the module sends back
an acknowledge response, which contains the current module settings.
The module address always has to be a 2 digit hex value! We recommend addresses between 00 and FE
hex. Some commands uses FF hex to act all modules in a rack.

2. Read module configuration

The response contains the current module settings.

3. Set module configuration

This command allows the change of the current module setting.

4. Set remote control on / off

Lock or unlock the push botton access to range and filter selection.

PAD module programming

Due to different commands, detailed information about module programming is available for each module in the
corresponding section.
Be aware that the module address always has to be a 2 digit hex value! We recommend addresses between 00
and FE hex. Some commands uses FF hex to act all modules in a rack.

CAUTION: DO NOT MIX UP ‘#’ AND ‘$’ COMMAND SIGNS!

TO GET DATA FROM A MODULE, USE ONLY THE ‘#’ COMMAND SIGN,
OTHERWISE A MODULE-RECALIBRATION IS POSSIBLE.
THIS REQUIRES A NEW MODULE CALIBRATION!

Setting communication speed

A temporary short circuit between pin 21 and 22 (GND) offers the possibility to change the baud rate. When
changing the baud rate of TH8 and V8 modules, additional press the ID button on the module front. After
sending the mentioned command turn power off and remove the short circuit from pin 21. At next powering on
the baud rate changes become effective.
Communication speed can be up to 115200 bps for PAD modules. You have to set all modules in a rack to the
same speed. Also the rack have to be jumpered ot the same speed (DEWE-RACK-4 have no jumper to change
the communication speed of 9600 bps). When using PAD and DAQ modules in one rack, you have to set the
communication speed to 9600 bps.
Be aware that the module address always has to be a 2 digit hex value!

Module reset
A short circuit between pin 21 and 22 (GND) during power on the module effect a reset of the module to default
settings (9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, module address 00 hex). To reset TH8 and V8 modules,
additional press the ID button on the module front during power on the module.

Fine tuning
As standard, the input divider is set to 1:10. In this case, the input ranges 0, 20, 40 and 60 dB are valid.
The module allows to varying the input division from 1:10 to 1:1 in 3686 steps. This feature can be used to do a
sensor calibration directly in the module.
Division 1:10 199 hex (standard range, e.g. 0 dB)
Division 1:1 FFF hex (next range, e.g. 20 dB)
All values between 199 and FFF hex are valid for module programming. As soon as the division is above 1:10
(199 hex), the input range LED’s are not active.

Fine tuning
As standard, the input divider is set to 1:10. In this case, the input ranges 0, 20, 40 and 60 dB are valid.
The module allows to varying the input division from 1:10 to 1:1 in 3686 steps. This feature can be used to do a
sensor calibration directly in the module.
Division 1:1 199 hex
Division 1:5 8CC hex
Division 1:10 FFF hex
All values between 199 and FFF hex are valid for module programming. As soon as the division is above 1:10
(FFF hex), the input range LED’s are not active.

Module calibration
All PAD-RTD3 modules are within specifications when leaving the factory. The time interval for recalibration
depends on environmental conditions. Typically, the calibration should be checked once a year.
For recalibration, perform following steps:
1. Select the correct input range on the module.
2. Enable module channel 0 (disable channel 1 and 2 with command ‘$(Addr)501’).
3. Apply the correct offset calibration resistance (see table) for the selected range to module channel 0.
4. Send ‘Offset calibration $(Addr)1(ChannelNo)’ to the module.
5. Apply the correct span resistance (see table) for the selected range to the module.
6. Send ‘Span calibration $(Addr)0(ChannelNo)’ to the module.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 5 three to five times for channels 1 and 2.
8. Set all channels active with command ‘$(Addr)507’.

Sending this commands without connecting the appropriate signals causes wrong measurement values!
Calibration commands are only possible at default settings (pin-21/22 short circuit, address 00, baud rate
9600)
