Introduction

The ProtEX-MAX PD8-6080 and PD8-6081 Explosion-Proof Modbus Scanners can be programmed as a Master, Slave, or Snooper. Their primary use is to scan and display up to 16 Modbus registers or two 4-20 mA inputs in place of two Modbus registers.

In Master mode, the ProtEX-MAX reads up to 16 slave devices. In Snooper mode, the scanner listens to the Modbus traffic and picks up a specific register or registers being polled by a master device from a specific slave device and process the data being read. In Slave mode, the scanner is controlled by a master device. In all modes, the data sent to the scanner is displayed, and used to operate the relays and 4-20 mA output.

The scanners are capable of polling up to 16 process variables (PVs) and displaying them in sequence at a user programmable scan rate.

A fully loaded ProtEX-MAX scanner comes with four SPDT relays, a 4-20 mA output, five digital inputs and four digital outputs, and RS-485 serial communications.

Free ScanView software allows the ProtEX-MAX Modbus Scanner to be accessed via a computer. It can be used to configure multiple scanners, conveniently monitor critical information, and data log right from a PC.

Operating Modes:
   MASTER: Processes data read from Modbus RTU slave devices. It polls up to 16 process variables from 1 to 16 slave devices. The Master is capable of scanning the selected PVs, scale the data, trigger relays, perform math operations, and drive the analog outputs.
   SNOOPER: Listens to the Modbus traffic and picks up a specific register or registers being polled by a master device from a specific slave device and processes the data being read. The Snooper mode handles the data the same way as the Master.
   SLAVE: Processes data sent to it from a Modbus RTU master device.
PV Number: PV1–PV16 Enable or disable the process variables to be polled by the Master.
Slave ID: Assign the slave ID or address (1-247, 256-259 for mA or volts inputs) containing the process variables to be displayed by the selected PV.
Function Code: Select which Modbus function code (03, 04, or 65) to use in reading the slave device.
Register Number: 5 digit: 30001-39999, 40001-49999, or 1-65,536
6 digit: 300001-365536 or 400001-465536 (Function Code 65 N/A here) Specifies which register(s) to read in the slave device. Range is dependent on Function Code selection (65, 04, or 03) and digits selection (5 or 6).
Data Type: Select the data format that the slave device uses. Select between Short integer (2 byte), Long integer (4 byte), or floating point (4 byte), Signed or Unsigned (integer only) and byte order: 1234, 4321, 2143, or 3412 (big-endian vs. little-endian, or swapped).
Poll Time: 1.0 to 99.9 sec. Time between read-commands (Master mode).
Slave Response Timeout: 0.0 to 99.9 seconds: Time allowed for the slave to respond before the scanner generates a communication break condition. The master polls the slave 3 times before starting the response timeout timer. Slave/Snooper mode: Time the scanner will wait for new data before going into break condition. Slave mode: Programming 0 disables the timeout; the last value received will be displayed indefinitely.
Communication Break: Displays "brEAK" after the Master has polled the slave device 3 times and the response timeout has elapsed. The Snooper and Slave modes go into break condition after no new data is received within the response timeout window. Relays can be programmed to go on, off, or ignore the break condition. The analog outputs can be setup to generate a fixed mA current when a break condition is detected.
Programmable Constants: Constant P (Adder): -99999 to 999999, default: 0.000; Constant F (Factor): 0.00001 to 999999, default: 1.000
Math Functions: Addition, difference, absolute difference, average, multiplication, division, max of A or B, min of A or B, draw, weighted average, ratio, concentration. See instruction manual for details.
Tag & Units: 6-character, independent tag and units for each PV and math channel.
PV Format: PD6080 default: Decimal format. PD6081 default: FT & IN, 1/8th or 1/16th; decimal format may be selected for bottom display indication. Display Decimal Point: Up to five decimal places or none: d.ddddd, dd.dddd, ddd.ddd, dddd.dd, ddddd.d, or dddddd
Float Decimal Point: Select the number of decimals to use for the floating point data expected from the slave or master device (this is independent from the display decimal point selection).
PV & Math Scaling: All PVs and math channels may be scaled to represent the input data in any engineering unit.
   Example: Level transmitter = 999.999 inches; to display in Ft-In-1/16th scale input 2 to display 83 Ft – 4 In – 0/16th.
Scan Mode: Automatic: 1.0 to 99.9 seconds.
   Manual: Front panel or digital inputs
   Go on alarm: Continues scanning after an alarm is detected
   Stop on alarm: Goes to the alarmed PV and stops scanning; press Scan to resume scanning.

ATEX/IECEx Specific Conditions of Use:
  1. The equipment label and epoxy coating may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charges under certain extreme conditions. The user should ensure that the equipment is not installed in a location where it may be subjected to external conditions (such as high-pressure steam) which might cause a build-up of electrostatic charges on non-conducting surfaces. Additionally, cleaning of the equipment should be done only with a damp cloth.
  2. Flameproof joints are not intended to be repaired.
  3. All entry closure devices shall be suitably certified as “Ex d”, “Ex t” and “IP66/68” as applicable. Suitable thread sealing compound (non-setting, non-insulating, non-corrosive, not solvent based, suitable for the ambient rating) must be used at the NPT conduit entries to achieve the IPx8 rating while maintaining the Ex protection concept.
Year of Construction

This information is contained within the serial number with the first four digits representing the year and month in the YYMM format.

For European Community:

The ProtEX-MAX must be installed in accordance with the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU, and the product certificate Sira 12ATEX1182X.

ScanView Software

ScanView software allows for the programming and monitoring of ProVu, ProtEX-MAX, and Helios series Modbus scanners. Use ScanView to program, monitor, and datalog using a PC. The PVs and math channels may be selected to display on the monitoring screen independently, and the monitoring screen can be customized so each has a configurable unit and tag. Even the display number colors may be changed. All 16 PVs, math channels, and their units and tags may be logged. The data is logged on the PC, and is available for use in common tools like Microsoft Excel. All configuration data can be saved to a file for future use.
