COMMISSIONING ENGINEER'S GUIDE

FOR
DATA LOGGING SYSTEM

This IO95 Module based Data Logging System is designed to monitor, to log the raw values
(Volts, mV, Ohms etc.) from the field and to calculate the average value for the desired
period of logged raw values of temperature, pressure and flow of various stages of a Power
Plant for conducting PG Test. The Data Logging System also Logged the Generator Output
Power, when Digital Power Meter is connected to the System.
 Essential requirements for the commissioning of IO95 system:-

1. IO95 Modules (required nos. of IO95 modules (AIU-16EP2 /AIR-16EP2 etc. ) based
upon total nos. of elements ( RTD, T/C, Pr. Transmitter ) envisaged for the PG Test )
2. Yokogawa Digital Power Meter (Model 1030 / Model 2533). Switch settings to be
made in the DPM are explained in the topic "Settings in the Digital Power Meter".
3. Siemens Docking Station with LapTop (It should be installed with following cards:-
a) IIOP card for IO95 modules (Serial port communication)
b) GPIB card for Yokogawa power meter (Parallel Port communication)

4. IO95 setup floppies (win 95 Utilities / Win NT utilities / Dos Utilities). The size
of Win 95 Utilities program is of 1.36 MB (total 12 files ). These floppies are required during
installation of IO95 setup for the new PC (LapTop).

5. SI-DDE WIN32 v 2.14 Beta driver floppy (i.e. TPTWINDDE) for IIOP card. These
floppies are required during first installation of TPTWINDDE for the new PC (LapTop).

6. HPIB driver floppy (i.e., HPIB DDE server for GPIB card) Please check for the size of
HPIB driver floppy. It should be having 61 files with total size 1.16Mb). These floppies are
required during installation of HPIB DDE for the new PC (LapTop).

7. User manual for IO95.

8. MTL Operation & Maintenance manual for Data Logging System.

9. Terminating resistors (100 Ohms, 125 Ohms & 150 Ohms)

10. MTL's Engg. drawing file.

11. YOKOGAWA Digital Power Meter User manual.

right side top corner of window.

19. Make the backup copy of Excel file.

 SETTINGS IN DIGITAL POWER METER

Settings for Model 2533 Digital Power Meter :

Only CT / PT ratios are to be entered in DPM.

In the back side of DPM there are two switches. Put the Code switch to position
"1" and toggle switch to "Talk only" position. Before logging is started ensure
Voltage, Current and Power readings are put in " " mode and Scaling is made
OFF.

Settings for Model 1030 Digital Power Meter :

a) Switch on Yokogawa Model 1030.

c) Press shift button and Misc. button. Use ^ or v button until 'C-Out' command
is displayed in the "Display section D". Press Enter button. "C-Out" command will
be displayed in the "Display section A".

Then Use ^ or v button until " nor " command is displayed in the "Display section
B". Press Enter button.

Now Use ^ or v button until " ALL " command is displayed in the "Display section
C". Press Enter button.

d) Select " " in display section A,B,C,D and Select element 1 indication coming
under the voltage section and current section.

e) Press button for local/Remote selection. Use ^ or v button to get GPIB

indication in display " A ". Press Enter button.

f) Now Use ^ or v button until " Addressable mode A " command is displayed
in the "Display section B". Press Enter button.

g) Select Now Use ^ , ,< or > buttons until " Address 1 " command is
displayed in the "Display section D". Press Enter button. Select the Excel file based
on the number of IO95 modules connected for PG Test.

Note : During Data Logging "remote" indication light will glow in the Power
Meter
Points to remember :

1. Before connecting the communication cable to PC (laptop). Ensure high voltage (24
VDC) is not present at the PC end communication cable.
2. If the configuration of Digital Power Meter is not done properly ( settings in 1030
DPM and Commands in Datalog(com) Excel sheet ), when logging started the system will
report a time out error no. 13. Cross check for the above points and start again.
3. When the Power Meter is not connected to the Data logger or it is made OFF, delete
the Commands from Datalog(com) excel sheet.
4. If Data logging system fails to communicate with Digital Power Meter, the PC may
hang-up. To isolate the Digital Power Meter delete the commands ( ;DC3, ;DC6 or OD from
Datalog(com) Excel sheet.
5. When logging process is ON please don't disturb the computer and the formula fields
like calibration fields and Ht. Correction fields.
6. Once the Data logging process is started and stopped, it is necessary to exit from
Excel and reopen the Excel file to start the Data logging again.
7. The length of communication cable between first PSA (near PC)and first IO95 module
should be minimum (0.5 meter).
8. The top cover of the IO95 modules may be kept opened during logging to avoid
excessive heating of the modules.
9. Before connecting the Pressure transmitter to 4-20 mA modules, please ensure that
250 Ohms resistor has been put in the module. While connecting Pressure Transmitter, do
not short circuit the cable; this may damage the module.
10. In Excel sheet, hidden formulas are fixed in many cells, so avoid as far as possible to
use 'copy and paste' command to prevent any error.
11. Enter the calibration certificate with extreme care. Do not enter Alphabets in numeric
field (cells) in calibration entry area. This may stop logging.
12. Charge the Docking Station before attaching the LapTop. Attach the LapTop with
Docking Station carefully. Detach the lapTop from Docking Station by using 'PC eject'
command in Start Menu. Do not try to forcibly pull out the LapTop from Docking Station.
How to take Average of Raw Values

A) Taking average of Average Sheet 1 : For taking the average of Datalog(Raw1)

sheet, first note down the start time and end time from Datalog(Raw1) sheet for which
period averaging is required. Now press the button "Avg_sht1" in Datalog(com) sheet. The
screen will ask for the start and end time. Enter the required time in 24:00:00 Hrs format.

B) Taking average of Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 : If the user wants to take average for
combine period of Raw1 and Raw2 sheets; note down the required period ( start time and
end time in 24:00:00 Hrs format ). Now first take the average for the period falling in
"Raw1" sheet as per the procedure given in point A). Now press the "Avg_sht2" button and
enter the start time and stop time. When this button is pressed first it will calculate the
average value for the sheet Datalog(Raw2) after completing this it will calculate the average
for Datalog(Raw1) and Datalog(Raw2) and the result will be displayed in Average Sheet.

C) Taking average of Sheet 2 only : If User wants to take average for

Datalog(Raw2) only follow the given procedure:

Select the cell which has the time stamping i.e "I15", hold "Ctrl" + "Shift" buttons pressed
and press right arrow and left arrow to select the entire range of cells of Datalog(Raw1)
sheet. Press "Ctrl" + "C" for copy. Now the selected contents will be in the clip board.
Insert a new work sheet from "Insert / work sheet" from the menu bar.
In the new worksheet select a cell from where you want to paste the copied contents of
Datalog(Raw1) sheet, press "right click", select "paste special" from the list, select "
values only" option in the screen displayed and press "OK" button. Now all the values
would have been pasted there as values. Time stamping would also be stored as
numbers, but when the same is pasted to Datalog(Raw1) it will get back ti time format.
Now the back up of Datalog(Raw1) would have been taken, so follow the same procedure
as mentioned in point no "a" for copying the data from the Datalog(Raw2) sheet to
Datlog(Raw1).
Now select the cell which has the time stamping i.e. "I15" in Datalog(Raw1), press right
click, select paste special, select values only and press "OK" button. Now the data of
Datalog(Raw2) is available in Datalog(Raw1) sheet.
Now by pressing the "Avg_sht1" button in the Datalog(com) sheet, Average for the same
can be taken.

Note : Please check the average value for Flow Transmitters are coming correct,
If you find that Averaging is not correct for Flow transmitter, change the tag "FT"
to "PT" in appropriate cells. And Now take the average again.
