Operation
The Load Cell/Strain Gauge Bridge Isolating Converter D1064S acts as a galvanic isolated interface installed between a PLC/DCS in Safe Area/Non Hazardous Locations and a load cell
(or group of load cells) in Hazardous Area/Hazardous Locations. Up to four 350 Ω load cells, or five 450 Ω load cells, or ten 1000 Ω load cells can be connected in parallel.
It provides a fully floating power supply voltage with remote sensing capabilities to load cell located in Hazardous Area/Hazardous Locations and converts the mV signal from load cell
into a 0/4-20 mA or 0/1-5 V or 0/2-10 V signal according to user desired range.
Remote sensing wires (terminals “10” +Sense and “11” –Sense) must be always connected to force lines (terminals “9” +Exc and “12” –Exc) for proper operation of the unit,
in case of 4 wires cell connect the sensing lines near to the cell connections to minimize the power supply voltage compensation error.
Output circuit provides both current source and sink capabilities. Modbus output is also provided to interface PLC/DCS using digital communication.
Presence of supply power is displayed by a green signaling LED.
The isolator provides an automatic calibration function that greatly simplifies the range setup; the automatic calibration requires only a calibration weight and can be executed in field
using the hand-held configurator, without disconnecting the unit (check that area is known to be nonhazardous before proceeding).
The hand-held configurator allows also online monitoring of the isolator operation and measures.
Note that complete system calibration is necessary to obtain the correct value reading. Please follow the instructions manual to setup the system.
The unit is not certified for trading applications, is responsibility of the user to obtain specific approvals if the system is subject to specific regulatory requirements regarding trading
(e.g. EN45501 requirements in Europe).

 Installation
D1064 is a load cell/strain gauge bridge converter housed in a plastic enclosure suitable for installation on EN/IEC60715 TH 35 DIN-Rail.
D1064 unit can be mounted with any orientation over the entire ambient temperature range, see section “Installation in Cabinet” and "Installation of Electronic Equipments in Cabinet"
Instruction Manual D1000 series for detailed instructions. D1064 signal converter operates at low level measuring signals, for best performance, install it far from heat sources
(heat dissipating equipment) and wide temperature excursions, in example at the bottom of a cabinet with heat dissipating equipment, if any, at the top.
Electrical connection of conductors up to 2.5 mm² are accommodated by polarized plug-in removable screw terminal blocks which can be plugged in/out into a powered unit
without suffering or causing any damage (for Zone 2 or Division 2 installations check the area to be nonhazardous before servicing).
The wiring cables have to be proportionate in base to the current and the length of the cable.
On the section “Function Diagram” and enclosure side a block diagram identifies all connections.
Identify the function and location of each connection terminal using the wiring diagram on the corresponding section, as an example:
Connect 24 Vdc power supply positive at terminal “3” and negative at terminal “4”.
Connect current source mode positive output at terminal “5” and negative output at “6” or current sink mode positive output at terminal “6” and negative output at terminal “8”
(output can be used only one type at a time, not contemporary).
Connect voltage output positive at terminal “7” and negative output at terminal “8”
(voltage output can be used simultaneously with current output, providing that the two systems connected to are isolated).
Connect serial line Modbus output at terminal “1” and at terminal “2”.
Connect strain gauge bridge voltage supply at terminal “9” positive and terminal “12” negative.
Connect strain gauge bridge voltage sensing supply at terminal “10” positive and terminal “11” negative.
If strain gauge bridge has no internal voltage sensing capability always connect terminal "10" to terminal "9" and terminal "11" to terminal "12";
for better performance connect the wire at the end of the line near the load cells.
Connect strain gauge bridge output signal at terminal “13” positive and terminal “14” negative.

Intrinsically Safe conductors must be identified and segregated from non I.S. and wired in accordance to the relevant national/international installation standards
(e.g. EN/IEC60079-14 Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres - Part 14: Electrical installations in hazardous areas (other than mines), BS 5345 Pt4, VDE 165,
ANSI/ISA RP12.06.01 Installation of Intrinsically Safe System for Hazardous (Classified) Locations, National Electrical Code NEC ANSI/NFPA 70 Section 504 and 505,
Canadian Electrical Code CEC), make sure that conductors are well isolated from each other and do not produce any unintentional connection.
The enclosure provides, according to EN/IEC 60529, an IP20 minimum degree of protection. The equipment shall only be used in an area of at least pollution degree 2, as defined in EN/
IEC 60664-1. For hazardous location, the unit shall be installed in an enclosure that provides a minimum ingress protection of IP54 in accordance with EN/IEC 60079-0, that must have a
door or cover accessible only by the use of a tool. Units must be protected against dirt, dust, extreme mechanical (e.g. vibration, impact and shock) and thermal stress, and casual
contacts.
If enclosure needs to be cleaned use only a cloth lightly moistened by a mixture of detergent in water.
Electrostatic Hazard: to avoid electrostatic hazard, the enclosure of D1064 must be cleaned only with a damp or antistatic cloth.
Any penetration of cleaning liquid must be avoided to prevent damage to the unit. Any unauthorized card modification must be avoided.
According to EN61010, D1064 must be connected to SELV or SELV-E supplies.

Start-up
Before powering the unit check that all wires are properly connected, particularly supply conductors and their polarity, input and output wires, also check that Intrinsically Safe conductors
and cable trays are segregated (no direct contacts with other non I.S. conductors) and identified either by color coding, preferably blue, or by marking.
Check conductors for exposed wires that could touch each other causing dangerous unwanted shorts. Turn on power, the “power on” green led must be lit, output must be in accordance
with the corresponding input signal value. If possible change the load cell condition and check the corresponding Safe Area output.

Automatic Calibration via PPC1090 configurator

1) Set the ACAL – C RNG value: this value is the full scale weighing range of the system (will define the analog outputs full scale)
This value is defined in “Division” numeric value and is the maximum resolution that can be measured (30.000 division, for better measuring resolution this should be settled at least with
10.000 division).
2) Set the ACAL – C REF value: this value corresponds to the weight value that will be used for calibration (must be equal to or lower than ACAL – C RNG).
This value is defined in “Division” numeric value that is equal to the following formula:
Range [div] x Reference [u.m.]
Reference [div] 
Range [u.m.]

To set these values correctly, both the reference weight used to perform the calibration and the full range weight that the system supports must be known.
Example: to calibrate a system which will measure a maximum of 400 Kg, with 20.000 division using a reference weight of 75 Kg user should set:
C RNG value = 20.000 div. (maximum division) that corresponds to 400 Kg
C REF value = (20.000 div. x 75 Kg) / 400 Kg = 3750 div.
3) Remove any weight on the platform (gross weight equal to zero), wait until the system is stable then acquire the weight ZERO pressing the Enter key
4) Place the reference weight on the platform (the same value entered as ACAL – C REF), wait until the system is stable then acquire the weight REF pressing the Enter key
In the example used before, the user should load the 75 Kg reference weight to the measuring system and the acquire the value.
5) Remove the reference weight: the system is calibrated.

The two analog outputs are scaled for downscale = ZERO weight, upscale = RANGE weight without any further action.
The Modbus reading is scaled with the same divisions as entered for the value ACAL – C REF.
For example using the 4-20 mA analog output, module sets output to 4 mA when no load is placed on the weighting system (input read 0 div),
module sets output to 20 mA when a 400 Kg load is placed on the weighting system (input read 20.000 div) and
module sets output to 12 mA when a 200 Kg load is measured (10.000 div).

For details on use or configuration of the module via PPC1090, see next pages.

PPC1090 Operation
The Pocket Portable Configurator type PPC1090 is suitable to configure the “smart” barrier of D1000 series. The PPC1090 unit is not ATEX, UL or FM approved and is only to be used in
Safe Area/Non Hazardous Locations and prior to installation of the isolator and prior to connection of any I.S. wiring. Do not use PPC1090 configurator in Hazardous Area/Hazardous
Locations. The PPC1090 configurator is powered by the unit (no battery power) when the telephone jack is plugged into the barrier (RJ12 6 poles connector type with 1:1 connection).
It has a 5 digit display, 4 leds and four push buttons with a menu driven configuration software and can be used in Safe Area/Non Hazardous Locations without any certification because
it plugs into the non intrinsically safe portion of circuit.

 Modbus Communication Line
The D1064 provides a Modbus RTU communication over a RS-485 pair. The RS-485 communication line must be connected according to the RS-485 specifications: the cable must have
a 100 Ω nominal impedance and must be terminated at both ends with a 100 Ω resistor; care must be exercised for the proper polarity of all units connected to the bus, additionally all
equipments must operate at the same baud rate and with the same parity (if used). The line termination resistors must be installed externally.

Modbus Communication Protocol

The Modbus protocol is widely used to exchange data between master and slave units in industrial environments; the advantage is that common physical supports such as RS-485 or
RS-232 communication lines can be used; additionally the protocol’s simplicity and wide application permits its use with many computers or PLC and a variety of application programs
are available. Line drivers ranging up to a speed of 115200 bit/s allow fast and efficient data transfer. The format used by the D1064 isolator is the RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) format,
exchanging data using 8 bit bytes. The advantage of this mode is that its density allows high data throughput for the baud rate used. The message is transmitted in a continuous stream,
an interval of 1.5 character defines the end of a frame. A typical Modbus frame is constituted by the following fields:

Address Function Data CRC Check

8 bit slave address 8 bit function code N x 8 bit data field 16 bit crc field
The address field of a message frame contains a eight bits slave addresses in the range 0 to 247 decimal. The individual slave is assigned addresses in the range of 1 to 247. A master
addresses a slave by placing the slave address in the address field of the message. When the slave sends its response, it places its own address in this address field of the response
frame. Address 0 is used for the broadcast address, which is recognized by all slaves. The function code field of a message frame contains a byte defining the function code.
When a message is sent from a master to a slave, the function code tells the slave the kind of action to perform. When the slave responds to the master, it uses the function code field to
indicate either a normal (error–free) response or that some kind of error occurred (called exception response); in addition the slave places a unique code into the data field of the
response message: this tells the master what kind of error occurred. The data field has different size and format as a function of the command involved, detailed data formats for
master/slave and slave/master messages are defined for every type of command. If no error occurs, the data field of a response from a slave to a master contains the data requested.
If an error occurs, the field contains an exception code that the master application can use to determine the type of error. The error checking field contains a 16 bit value. The error check
value is the result of a Cyclical Redundancy Check calculation performed on the message contents. The CRC field is appended to the message as the last field in the message.
The receiving device recalculates a CRC during receipt of the message, and compares the calculated value to the actual value it received in the CRC field. If the two values are not
equal, an error results.
Supported commands
Command codes supported by the D1064 are a subset of the Modbus commands, other commands will generate an exception response:

Function Code Function Name Notes

03 (0x03) Read Holding Registers reads a stream of words from the D1064 memory
04 (0x04) Read Input Registers reads a stream of words from the D1064 memory
06 (0x06) Preset Single Register writes a word into the D1064 memory
16 (0x10) Preset Multiple Registers writes a stream of words from the D1064 memory

Commands 3, 4 – Read Holding/Input Registers

This function code is used to read the contents of a contiguous block of registers. The starting address and the number of registers are addressed starting from zero.
The register data in the response message are packed as two bytes per register, for each register, the first byte contains the high order bits and the second contains the low order bits.
The format of the request is:
Name Size Value
Function Code 1 byte 0x03 or 0x04
Starting Address 2 bytes see word address section
Number of Registers 2 bytes see word address section

The format of the response is:

Command 16 – Preset Multiple Registers
This function code is used to write the contents of a contiguous block of registers into the D1064. The starting address and the number of registers are addressed starting from zero.
Register data are packed as two bytes for each register, the first byte contains the high order bits and the secondcontains the low order bits. The format of the request is:
Name Size Value
Function Code 1 byte 0x06
Starting Address 2 bytes see word address section

Data to be written 2 x N bytes 2 bytes for every register

The format of the response is:

Name Size Value
Function Code 1 byte 0x10
Starting Address 2 bytes Copy of request
Number of Registers 2 bytes Copy of request

Errors – Exception Responses

If the D1064 does not receive the request due to a communication error, or detects a wrong CRC value, no response is returned. The master program should eventually process a
timeout condition for the request. If the D1064 receives the request without a communication error, but cannot handle it (e.g. if the request is to read a non–existing register), it will return
an exception response informing the master of the nature of the error. The format of the exception response is:
Name Size Value
Function Code 1 byte 0x8x
Exception Code 1 byte 0x01, 0x02, 0x03
In a normal response, the D1064 echoes the requested function code in the function code field of the response. All function codes have the most–significant bit (MSB) equal to 0
(values below 0x80). In an exception response, the D1064 sets the MSB of the function code: this makes the function code value in an exception response exactly 0x80 higher than the
value of a normal response. In a normal response, the D1064 can return data in the data field, in an exception response, the D1064 returns an exception code in the data field, this
defines the condition that caused the exception. Handled exceptions are:

Calibration procedure
4.
Each module must be calibrated to work with the specific load cell and application.
D1064S firmware accepts values expressed in “divisions”, and the maximum value is 30000.
“Reference” and “Range” values must also be expressed in divisions, starting from the original unit of measure.

“Range” maximum weight corresponding to full scale output.

Configurable from 0 to 30000 divisions. Higher values lead to greater resolutions. Recommended value greater
than 10000.
“Reference” reference weight used for calibration.
Configurable from 0 to 30000 divisions. Must be lower or equal than “Range”. Recommended value the most
close to Range in order to obtain better precision.
Calculated with the following formula: Reference [div]  Range [div] x Reference [u.m.]
Range [u.m.]
Important Note: “Range” and “Reference” fields must be filled in and saved to module before continuing with
procedure. Press the “Save to COM port” button to save configuration to module.
