The Micron Modbus & serial output phase angle transmitter transmits the lead or lag in degrees from 0º to 360º between two periodic signals of the same period. In the illustration to the right, phase angle is 360*P1/P. The signals are applied to the Channel A and B inputs of the Micron dual-channel pulse input signal conditioner board. A resolution of 1º, 0.1º or 0.01º is selectable. Accuracy is 0.01% up to 100 Hz, 0.1% at 1 kHz, and 1% at 10 kHz. |

 Phase angle is determined by timing crystal clock pulses over a specified gate time which is selectable from 10 ms to 199.99 s. By selecting the minimum gate time of 10 ms, the update rate can be up to 20/s for 50/60 Hz AC line frequency. Improved accuracy is obtained by making the gate time long enough so that multiple cycles can be averaged. Exceptional Accuracy and Stability. Micron pulse input frequency and rate transmitters determine frequency by taking the inverse of period as measured with a calibrated quartz crystal time base. This results in extremely accurate and stable 6-digit internal readings (±999,999 counts), which are then processed in software. The update rate of the transmitter output is a programmed gate time + 30 ms + 0-2 signal periods. For a 60 Hz signal, the update rate would be 20 per second. Such fast update rates are ideal for alarm and control. LTM Series serial output transmitters send data via an isolated serial port, which is user configurable for RS232 or RS485 and full or half duplex operation. Three protocols are user selectable: Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, or Micron ASCII. Modbus operation is fully compliant with Modbus Over Serial Line Specification V1.0 (2002). The Micron ASCII protocol allows up to 31 Micron devices to be addressed on the same RS485 data line. It is simpler than the Modbus protocol and is recommended when all devices are Microns. It also allows use of Micron Datalogging Software. Standard features of Micron transmitters include:
Easy Transmitter programming is via Micron's Instrument Setup Software, which runs on a PC under MS Windows. This software can be downloaded from this website at no charge. The required transmitter-to-PC interface cable is available from Micron (P/N CBL04). |
