1 Introduction
This software manual describes step by step how to operate successfully the
NGA 2000 Series MLT analyzer modules and analyzers (MLT 1, 2, 3, 4
and 5).
Chapter 2 shows the structure of the MLT software menus. Chapter 3 describes the
display and the keyboard of the analyzer and the main menu and submenus. Chapter 4
describes the basic controls incl. calibration with detailed illustrations. So you can
easily compare the actual analyzer (module) display with the illustrations of the manual.
Chapter 5 describes the expert configurations of the analyzer module and of the Input/
Output modules (I/O modules). Chapter 6 describes the system configuration and
diagnostics. The layout of both chapters is not as detailed as in chapter four. Normally,
the way to a certain menu of the MLT software is described with the software catchwords
you have to press to reach this menu. You will find the illustration of the corresponding
LCD screen at the end of the catchword listing. After that you can read the meaning of the
functions and variables of each expert or system configuration menu. In chapter 7 you will
find some information about the display controls.
Some contents of the expert configurations are not important for each customer. It depends
on the configuration of your NGA 2000 system, relative to the following components:
♦ Control Module CM
♦ Analyzer Module AM
♦ Input/Output Modules I/O's (SIO = Standard I/O, DIO = Digital I/O)
♦ Network I/O Modules Analog Output with 3 Alarms I/O, Auto Calibration I/O,
System Auto Calibration I/O
You can distinguish the following system units and SIO/DIO configurations:

Note:
This software manual will describe the software of all MLT analyzers and MLT analyzer
modules combined with a platform, an MLT analyzer or a TFID analyzer.
It will not describe the software of MLT analyzer modules running with a customers control
unit.
The software of TFID analyzers or TFID analyzer modules is nearly identically to the MLT
software. An own TFID software manual is available containing the FID specific functions.

3 Startup and Operation, General Notes and Main Menu
3.1 Starting and Initializing
After switching on the MLT analyzer or analyzer module (in a platform or part of a NGA
network), the initialization procedure will be performed. A self control of the analyzer
modules or the analyzer is running. You can see a sequence of several displays. They
show the status of initialization, revision notes of the MLT software and the
tag:
(C) 1999 FISHER-ROSEMOUNT Analytical
NGA-2000 Control-Module Rev. 3.3 /P006

Language:P006/01/00
Initializing Network
Initializing network interface
LCDReset Abort
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
After “Initializing network interface” the next display shows “Searching for nodes” followed
by “Calculating bindings”.
If you press the F1 key during the initializing, you will reset the LCD brightness and
contrast to factory settings (see also section 7). Pressing the F3 key will abort the network
initializing. Then you will have no connection to any analyzer module. Only the menus of
the control module (platform, MLT or TFID analyzer) will be available.
At the end of the initializing procedure you can see the single component display of
channel one (see illustration on next page). It is the origin to all the other channels, menus
and submenus.
The instructions of the basic controls (chapter four) are all beginning with the single com-
ponent display. The actual display might differ from the shown one because the customer
can configure it according to his requirements (see section 5.1.8 p. 5-49 and section 7).

3.2 Display and Function
The LCD screen shows all measurement values of the analyzer and all customer
instructions. You can operate with five function keys, four arrow keys (cursors) and the
enter key. The function of each key depends on:
♦ the type of analyzer/analyzer module used
♦ the optional auxiliary modules (e.g. I/O boards) used
♦ the individual menu displayed
In case of power failure all customer specific module parameters are saved by a battery-
powered buffer.
3.3 "TAG" and Operating Keys
At the top left of each menu page you will find the tag of the current channel.
Typical tags:
♦ MLT/CH1/R1: MLT Analyzer or Analyzer Module / CHannel 1 / Range 1
♦ TFID-R1: Thermo FID Analyzer or Analyzer Module - Range 1
In this manual you will find normally "TAG" as general name. But in the specific MLT
menu pages you will find "MLT".

4 Analyzer Basic Controls (Calibration) & Setup
In the chapter 4 "Analyzer basic controls (calibration) & setup" the most important
setup and calibration functions of your MLT/TFID analyzer or analyzer module are
described.
All steps are figured with detailed illustrations and operation instructions. In the left column
you can see display and keyboard of the NGA front panel. The keys you have to press
are illustrated in black. In the right column you can read the instructions and notes. All
instructions will begin with any single component display and will end with the correspond-
ing single component display after the setups are done. So you can easily compare the
actual display of the analyzer or analyzer module with the illustrations of the manual.
Example: You want to change from the single component display of channel 1(CO2) to
the single component display of channel 2 (CO).
• Picture one shows the starting situation: single component display of CO2.
• Picture two shows the result you get if you press the F4 key (Channel):
single component display of CO.

Both analyzer module and I/O module functions are analyzer module resp. I/O module
level in combination with a control module (platform, MLT/TFID analyzer) level.
The MLT/TFID analyzer does not have a pure platform (control module) level but a
combined CM/AM level (MCA level) !

Structure of chapter five:
At the begin of any chapter you will find the way to a certain submenu of the MLT/TFID
software starting from the line "Analyzer and I/O, Expert Controls & Setup" in the "Main
Menu". The way will be described with the software catchwords, that you have to enter
one after another to reach the corresponding submenu. At the end of the catchword listing
you will find the illustration of the LCD screen. After that you can read the set up
instructions and explanations. Sometimes the illustration will be completed by sketches or
further menu pictures.

F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
In the menu "Tolerances" you can set up the parameters of the stability controlled
calibration procedure (see p. 5-9/10) for the current channel. Besides, you can disable the
stability control and the maximum calibration deviation (deviation control → deviation
tolerance).
If you want to set up the parameters of the other channels of an MLT analyzer or analyzer
module, press the F3 key.
Set up parameters:
Lines "Last zero calibration/Last span calibration":

The calibration status of the last calibration will be displayed in these two lines.

Lines of variables "Max. zero calibration deviation" / "Max. span calibration deviation":
The deviation between two zero or span gas concentrations will be determined during the
stability time of the calibration procedure (see menu "Calibration Procedure Setup"
p. 5-9/10). The maximum calibration deviation is the deviation tolerance expressed as
percentage of the current end of range value. The calibration procedure will only be
possible within this range.
If you choose a very small deviation tolerance, perhaps the calculated deviation is out of
range during the whole calibration procedure and the calibration will run into time out. If
you choose a very large deviation tolerance, the calibration will also be done in ranges
with a little stability.
Value is usually: 10 % or 20 %;
Default values: 30 % for "Max. zero calibration deviation", 20 % for "Max. span calibration
deviation".
Line of variables "Check deviation":
♦ Enabled: The stability and tolerance control during the calibration procedure will be
based on the values of the menu "Tolerances".
♦ Disabled: The calibration procedure is running without stability and tolerance control.
Any Calibration will be accepted.
Example:
♦ End of range: 1000 ppm
♦ Max. calibration deviation: 20 % (equivalent 200 ppm)
♦ Desired value: 990 ppm
♦ Display: 720 ppm
♦ Deviation: 250 ppm (more than 200 ppm!)
♦ Result: Max. calibration procedure time over limit;
Calibration will be canceled !
Potential solutions:
♦ Adjust 100 % in the line "Max. zero calibration deviation"
resp. "Max. span calibration deviation"
or
select "Disabled" in the line "Check deviation".
♦ Result: Any Calibration will be accepted!
Line of variables "Stability tolerance - range 1, ..., 4":

The setup in these lines is defining the stability control during the calibration procedure in
full scale percent. If the signal deviation will be more than the stability tolerance after the
first stability time will be over, a second stability control will start automatically. This
procedure will be repeated as long as the signal will be out of the tolerance limits, but only
until the end of the maximum procedure time ("Time over limit").
Default value: 10 %

up the parameters of the other channels of an MLT analyzer or analyzer module, press the
F3 key.
Set up parameters:
Lines of variables "Purge time" / "Procedure times-out after" and

"Stability time" / "Averaging time" – Information’s about the calibration procedures setup:
The measurement signal should be stable in a certain range before zeroing and spanning.
Therefore the analyzer cell should be purged enough with zero gas or span gas before
calibration. Then, after the purge time, the stability time is running. During the stability time
the average over two signals will be calculated. The averaging time determines the time
difference between these two signals.

If the deviation of the two values is less then the allowed maximum calibration deviation
(see menu "Tolerances", p. 5-7/8), the calibration may start. If not, the stability control is
starting again until a stable measurement is possible. The time in the line "Procedure
times-out after" is the limit for the whole procedure.

Line of variables "Analog output during calibration":

Here, you can determine if you want to hold the analog output and the limits of a local SIO
in the MLT/TFID AM during calibration. The set-ups for a platform or MLT/TFID analyzer
SIO have to be done in the menu "Analog Outputs" (see 5.2.1 p. 5-87).
♦ Tracking: The analog output signal is following to the signal during the whole calibra-
tion procedure.
♦ Holding: During the whole calibration procedure the analog output signal is fixed to the
last signal before calibration. This adjustment may be used for instance to control limits
with the analog output.

Line of variables "Range and calibration control":
The parameter selected in this line is valid for the autoranging control of the current
channel (see p. 5-29). You have the following options:
♦ Manual: You have to change the range manual. The switch level hysteresis is disabled
(see p. 5-30).
♦ Self/Automatic: The autoranging is running by the comparison of the current measure-
ment value with the end of range. The signal at the analog output is tracking. The value
in the line "Switch level hysteresis" of the menu "Autoranging Control" is enabled (see
p. 5-30).
Note:
If you will use the autorange mode, you will have to set up the same value for all t90 -
times of the corresponding channel (see p. 5-28 t90 response times). Besides, all begin
of range values of this channel will have to be set up to zero (e.g. 0 ppm, 0 % etc.).
♦ Program I/O-module: The autoranging is controlled by the programmable I/O-Board
(I/O with three alarms). The value in the line "Switch level hysteresis" of the menu
"Autoranging Control" is enabled (see p. 5-30).
♦ Inputs I/O-module: The autoranging is controlled by the digital input (DIO). The value
in the line "Switch level hysteresis" of the menu "Autoranging Control" is enabled (see
p. 5-30).
Line of variables "Actual range number":

In this line you will find the range number selected. You can select any of the four ranges
of the current channel. The range number will be set automatically, if the autoranging or
the program I/O is enabled. The range number will be controlled by digital inputs, if the
input I/O module is enabled.

In the menu "Multiple Spline Linearization" and its submenus you can set up and start the
calculation to linearize one channel of an MLT analyzer or analyzer module. With the F3
key you can change to the other channels.
Background:
The optical absorption of a gas as a function of its concentration is not linear in the whole
range. Therefore the result of the analyzer has to be linearized. You can linearize manual
or semi-automatically. In this chapter the manual linearization is described. If you want to
linearize automatically, contact your customer service, please.
Conditions:
♦ Before you start the linearization you have to calibrate the largest range of the channel
(usually range 4) with zero gas and span gas.
♦ You have to record a raw values/setpoint values table to linearize a channel. You need
minimum 6 raw values and their corresponding setpoint values: zero, end of range and
4 intermediate values. You should take 10 to 15 values (maximum: 30) to improve the
precision of the linearization curve.

5.1.5 Linearization
Execute a linearization:
1) Disable the linearization:
• Before you record the linearization values you have to disable the current linearization
to avoid the influence from the old values to the calculation of the new curve.
• Change to the line "Linearizer operation" with the ↑ -key or the ↓ -key.
• Press the 8 -key or the → -key and select "Disabled" with the ↑ -key or the ↓ -key.
• Confirm your adjustment with the 8 -key.
1) Zero and span gas calibration:

• Calibrate the largest range (usually: range 4) with zero and span gas.
• The method is described in 4.5 p. 4-19 and 4.6 p. 4-23 or in 5.1.1 p. 5-15 to 5-17.
2) Recording the raw values/setpoint values table:

• If you have a defined gas flow, you can read each raw value in any menu display at
the top right or in the single component display.
• Example:
You have got the following values for the NO-Channel of the analyzer:
No. Setpoint Value Raw Value

Example for PLC Programming:

♦ You have three channels in your analyzer: CO, SO2 and O2.
♦ You want to write a program for the zero and span gas calibration.
♦ The valve gear is:
Sample CO/SO2/O2
CO/SO2 O2
So you have the following zero and span gas for each gas component:
Channel: CO SO2 O2
Zero gas: O2 O2 CO/SO2
Span gas: CO/SO2 CO/SO2 O2
So you have the following logical combination of the valves:
O2 Valve CO/SO2 Valve
Zero-Cal. Channel 1 Span Cal. Channel 1

Or
Or
Zero-Cal. Channel 2 PLC Output 1 Span Cal. Channel 2 PLC Output 2

Span-Cal. Channel 3 Zero Cal. Channel 3
With the conditions described you will get the following program:

1 -2 OR (Combination of the next three operands)
2 112 Zero gas calibration of channel 1
4 218 Span gas calibration of channel 3

In the menu "Programmable Calculator" you can start the calculation with variables of the
MLT analyzer or analyzer module selected, e.g. conversion of concentrations from ppm to
mg/m3. You have four memory places to calculate results. The required program and
further conditions have to be set up in several submenus. The calculation with values of
auxiliary modules or of the control module is not possible!
Set up parameters:
♦ Select "Enabled" or "Disabled" in the line "Calculator is" with the ↑ -key or the ↓ -key.
Programming and starting of the calculator (+ Consider the example p. 5-47/48 !):
1) Disable the calculator:
• Before you will begin with the programming, you have to select "Disabled" in the line
"Calculator is" to avoid starting calculation while you are writing the program.
2) Putting in the program:
• Press the 8 -key or the → -key in the line "Programming..." to change to the sub-
menu "Program", where you can put in your program step by step.
• A program of a calculator consists of operands like concentration or flow and of
operators like the addition command. You have to put in a certain code in each
program line for each operator and each variable or constant.

5.1.7 Programmable Calculator
In the following table you can see which types of operators and operands you can use:
Operator types Operator Description
-1 ADD Add Operand to IR (intermediate result)
-2 SUB Subtract Operand from IR
-3 DIV Divide IR by operand
-4 MUL Multiply IR with operand
-5 ADDC c Add Constant to IR
-6 SUBC c Subtract constant from IR
-7 DIVC c Divide IR by constant
-8 MULC c Multiply IR with constant
-9 ADDM m Add Memory to IR
-10 SUBM m Subtract Memory from IR
-11 DIVM m Divide IR by memory
-12 MULM m Multiply IR with memory
-13 STOM m Store IR at memory and set IR = 0.0
-14 STOR r Store IR to result and set IR=0.0
-15 NOP No operation
-16 ABS Convert IR into absolute value
-17 EOP End of program
Operand Types Operand Description
1 Calculator Result #1
5 Concentration Channel 1 (PPM!)
6 Concentration average Channel 1 (PPM!)
7 Temperature Channel 1
8 Pressure Channel 1
9 Flow Channel 1
14 Flow Channel 2
19 Flow Channel 3
24 Flow Channel 4
29 Flow Channel 5
• You have to set each operator in the line above the corresponding variable. After
each calculating step you have to store the intermediate result and to delete the
memory before you will continue with the next step. Each program must end with the
command "End of program".

3) Putting in the constants:
• Press the 8 -key or the → -key in the line "Constants..." of the menu "Programmable
Calculator" to change to the corresponding submenu, where you can define maximum
four constants, e.g. conversion constant from ppm to mg/m3.
4) Determination of the units:
• Press the 8 -key or the → -key in the line "Units..." of the menu "Programmable
Calculator" to change to the submenu "Calculator Result Units" to determine in which
unit the calculator's result shall be displayed, e.g. ppm, mg/Nm3, Vol.% and so on.
• Note: This step can also be changed after the program is still running.
5) Scaling
• Via the line "Scaling..." of the menu "Programmable Calculator" you can change to a
submenu, where you can determine the minimum and maximum for each result. This
will be necessary, if you want to show the calculator's result in the single component
display. The minimum/maximum values are the limits of the bargraphs.
6) Starting the program:
• Select "Enabled" in the line "Calculator is" of the menu "Programmable Calculator".
7) Check the results:

• The results of each calculator will be displayed in the last four lines of the menu
"Programmable Calculator".
Example for the calculation with a program:

You want to calculate the whole content of NOx as NO2 in mg/m3 from the concentrations
of NO in ppm (Channel 1) and of NO2 in ppm (Channel 2). So you have to add the single
concentrations and then to multiply with a constant:
(ppm NO + ppm NO2) • "conversion constant (here: 2,05 mg/ml)" = NOx as mg/m3 NO2
So you will get the following program:
Step- Code Program Description
No.
1 -1 Add to intermediate result (At the beginning the memory is zero)
2 5 NO-Concentration from channel 1 (ppm)
3 -1 Add to IR (the concentration of channel 1)
4 10 NO2-Concentration from channel 2 (ppm)
5 -13 Store the result of the addition to memory and set IR = 0
6 1 Memory #1
7 -9 Add memory to IR (= sum of NO and NO2 in ppm)
8 1 Memory #1
9 -8 Multiply IR with constant ([ppm NO + ppm NO2] • "conversion constant")
10 1 Constant #1 (= "conversion constant" ppm to mg/m3, here: 2,05 mg/ml)
11 -14 Store IR to result and set IR = 0
12 1 Constant #1 (= mg/m3 NO2)
13 -17 End of program
You have to put in the codes of the table into the corresponding lines of the submenu
"Program". If the program consists of more than ten steps, you can change to another
menu page with the F5 key. Maximum of program steps: 100. Maximum of results: 4
Maximum of constants: 4. Maximum of memories: 4.

Putting the program steps in the menu:
♦ Select the program steps with the ↑ -key or the ↓ -key.
♦ Select the field for the code number with the 8 -key or the → -key.
♦ Select any digit with the ← -key or the → -key and adjust the code number with the
↑ -key or the ↓ -key. If necessary, change the sign (+/-) with the F4 key.
♦ Confirm the code with the 8 -key or cancel and go back to the last value with the F2 key.

In the menu "Differential Measurement" you can measure the difference between the
current concentration and a reference concentration of the same gas component. That
means, the measurement value is not based on the zero value as it is usual for an
absolute value measurement. Instead of this the signal will be compared with defined
concentration of the component selected. That may be useful for concentrations that only
differ a little from the basic value of this component in the measurement environment
(Example: CO2 of plant in air).
If you want to make a differential measurement for other components, you can change to
the other channels of an MLT analyzer or analyzer module with the F3 key.
Condition:
♦ You have to calibrate with zero gas and to linearize the measurement channel and the
reference channel.
• To calibrate see 4.5 p. 4-19 and 4.6 p. 4-23 or 5.1.1 p. 5-15 to 5-17.

5.2.1 SIO Module – Analog output setup
4) Determination of the output signal values:

• You can determine the signal value for the 0 % output and the 100 % output in the
lines "Signal value for 0 % output" or "Signal value for 100 % output". So you have the
possibility to zoom out a certain part of the whole range.
• Example:
„ Range from 0 to 1000 ppm
„ 0 % value shall be 400 ppm, 100 % value shall be 700 ppm
„ Analog output is normally: 0 V = 0 ppm 10 V = 1000 ppm
„ After changing the output signal: 0 V = 400 ppm 10 V = 700 ppm
• Change to the line "Signal value for 0 % output" or "Signal value for 100 % output"
with the ↓ -key.
• Select the value with the 8 -key or the → -key.
• Select any digit with the ← -key or the → -key and adjust a new value with the ↑ -key
or the ↓ -key.
• Confirm the new value with the 8 -key.
• Note:
If you change the measurement range, the adjustment done in this menu will
disappear and go back to the standard values of the range! To change the output
signal values permanently you have to change the adjustments in the menu "Begin
and End of Ranges" (see 5.1.3 p. 5-27)! – If you want to work with suppressed
ranges, you will have to compensate the pressure influence !
• Attention:
The signal range at the analog output should not be less than the smallest range!
Otherwise, the noise level may be very high at the analog output!
5) Determination of the output current (voltage):

• Press the 8 -key or the → -key in the line "Output current" to select the range and
select the value you want with the ↑ -key or the ↓ -key.
• Confirm the new adjustment with the 8 -key.
• Options: 0...20 mA (and automatically 0...10 V) or 4...20 mA (2...10 V).
6) Analog output during calibration:

• In the line "Hold output during calibration?" you can determine the signal drift of the
analog output and of the limits during calibration:
„ Yes: During the whole calibration procedure and the additional purge time of the
sample valve the analog output signal and the status of the limits are fixed to the
last value before calibration.
„ No: The analog output signal and the status of the limits are following to the
measurement signal during the whole calibration procedure.
• Notes:
„ The adjustments "Yes/No" are valid for all kinds of calibrations of a platform or
MLT/TFID analyzer SIO: manual, time or AK controlled & system calibration.
„ The signal drift and status of limits of a local SIO in an MLT/TFID analyzer module
will be determined in the menu "Calibration Procedure Setup" in the line "Analog
output during calibration: ... Holding/Tracking" (see 5.1.1 p. 5-9/10).

1 Introduction
In opposite to the possibility to zero and span each analyzer module (MLT channel)
individually and independently from the others, System Calibration (SYSCAL) allows to
combine the calibration procedures of all into a common process.
This is been achieved with a special assignment of the valves. The idea is not longer to
require for each gas of each analyzer an own valve.
Instead of we have a pool of valves. The valves of this pool can be assigned to the different
gases of the analyzers. That also means different analyzers can share the same valve for
their gases, e. g. for span gas mixtures or a common zero gas valve for several channels. So
we have the possibility to reduce the number of valves and also the consumption of
calibration gases.
The program, which will allow this, runs on the CM (Control Module) and needs
programmable I/O’s (Input/ Output Modules SIO or DIO).
SIO: Standard I/O Module

DIO: Digital I/O Module
SIO and DIO can be located in a platform, an MLT or a TFID analyzer.
The displayed menus are also inscripted with the appropriate LON variables.

2 Valves for system calibration
Before using the system calibration we have to put together the required valve pool. There
are in principle three types of I/O modules supporting this:
• DIO - 24 digital outputs / 8 digital inputs (max. 4 DIO modules per platform
or 2 per MLT/TFID analyzer)
• SIO - 3 digital outputs (max. 1 SIO module per CM)
• [CVU - - 4 digital outputs (max. 4 modules per CM)]
Software supports up to 32 system valves. SIO and DIO are available, the control valve unit
(CVU) is in progress.
2.1 Assigning an output port to a system valve
Assigning of an output can be accomplished by using the menus for selected output module
(DIO, SIO or CVU).
There we have to select the NGA Control Module as the Source Module. Control module
then provides the signals for system valve V1...V32.
For example the DIO:

Invert output: Disabled DIOOUTINVC
Module status: Normal DIOMODSTAC
Slot ID: 1 DIOSLOTIDC
Signal name: SYS:Valve-1 DIOOUTSIGC
Signal level: Off DIOOUTSTATC
Signal comes from: NGA_Control_module DIOOUTSRCC
There we have to
• select "Outputnumber"
• then choose “NGA_Control_module” as module
• then choose the wanted valve “SYS: VALVE-x” as signal

It is also possible to configure the DIO outputs via LON variables (i.e. SLTA adapter or AK
protocol).
Therefore is the LON variable "DIOOUT_ENTRYSIG" which corresponds to DIOOUTSIGC

and evaluates enum values of ST1NAME (enum values 0..19), ST2NAME (enum values
20..39) or ST3NAME (enum values 40..59).
For digital output we have to setup variables in following order.
1. DIOSLOTIDC
2. DIOOUTNUMC
3. DIOOUTSRCC
4. DIOOUT_ENTRYSIG SYS: VALVE-1 = 20 (enum value in ST2NAME)
SYS: VALVE-2 = 21
. .
. .
. .
SYS:VALVE-32 = 51 (enum value in ST3NAME)
For each needed system valve we have to repeat these appropriate selections.
It is also possible to distribute the system valves onto different output modules.

3 Operating System Calibration
Because there are many possibilities how to use SYSCAL it must be configured through the
Expert Operator. There we can find the menu “System Calibration” from were we can do the
required setups and start routines.

3.1 Set-up analyzer modules
Before we can run any system calibration features we have to include the different analyzer
modules (AM’s) into system calibration by setup needed parameters. Only after correct
setting up, an AM is included into system calibration and only then it makes sense to go into
the other menus.

Note: Ranges are always calibrated separately !
_______________________________________________
Analyzer module: MLT/CH2 SCMODULE
Module enabled for system-cal: NO SCCONTROL
View...
Setting up an AM for system calibration means assigning valves from system valve pool.
The Control Module provides support of up to 32 system valves V1....V32. We have to
decide which valves deliver which gases for an analyzer module. Also we have to know the
purge time from a valve to the AM/ MLT channel.
For each of the following types in the parameter “Gas type” we have to assign a valve and
the appropriate purge time :
• SAMPLE-GAS
• ZERO-GAS
• SPANGAS-1 (span gas for range 1)
Conditions for the valve assignment:

• Once a valve has been assigned to be a sample gas valve for any AM it must not
be used for zero or span gases !
• The zero valve of an AM can not be a span valve of the same AM.
• All gas types have to be assigned to a system valve.
• TFID has internal valves to be assigned separately as system valves!

Example for an NGA analyzer system:
V1 AM1 (MLT ch.1) AM2 (MLT ch.2) AM3 (MLT ch.3)
V2 AM4
V3 AM5
V 4 V 5 V 6
Calibration gas mixtures
Appropriate assignment:
AM1/Ch.1 AM2/Ch.2 AM3/Ch.3 AM4 AM5

SAMPLE-GAS V1 V1 V1 V2 V3
ZERO-GAS V4 V4 V5 V5 V6
SPANGAS-1 V5 V5 V4 V6 V5
Attention: Take in mind that any MLT channel is regarded as AM in this case!
Take care that for TFID separate valves are chosen which are not related
to other AM’s or MLT channels (internal TFID valves only)!
This assigning procedure is to perform for all analyzer modules which should be included in
system calibration.
To display the assigned valves and purge times for each AM we can push the softkey “View”.
If we want to exclude an AM from SYSCAL we can do this by entering an invalid valve.

We can watch in the display whether an AM/channel is enabled for system calibration.
Attention: Remember to assign a system valve to an output port!

3.2 Programming Calibration Sequences
Beside the standard programs “zero calibration” and “zero/span calibration” it is possible to
run the system calibration in an user definable order of up to 40 steps.
The menu to set-up this feature looks as follows.

↓
↓
Calibration sequence programming...
↓
-- Calibration Sequence Programming --
Step #: 1 SCSTEP
Calibration procedure type: Zero-Cal SCCALTYPE1
Choose specific analyzer module...
Select all analyzer modules!
Program steps 1-10...
_______________________________________________
Analyzer-module: MLT/CH3 SCSTEPMOD
For programming the sequence you must
1. select “Step #”
2. select “Calibration procedure type”
3. select analyzer module/ MLT channel
Repeat this order for all program steps.
The programmable “Calibration procedure types” are:
1. NoOp no operation (for deleting a step in an existing

program)
2. Zero-Cal do a zero calibration
3. Span-Cal do a span calibration for all available ranges
4. Zero/Span-Cal do a zero cal then a span cal for all available ranges
5. Span1-Cal do a span calibration only for range #1
9. END-OF-PGRM end of sequence

For each step we have the choice to select a specific AM or to activate the step for all
enabled AMs.
After the program is input, the appropriate menu can give an overview of the current
program:
-- Calibration Sequence Program --
Step #1: Zero-Cal: All

Step #2: Span-Cal: FID
Step #3: Span-Cal: CLD
Step #4: Span1-Cal:MLT/CH1
Step #9: END-OF-PROGRAM
Step #10: END-OF-PROGRAM

3.3 Set-up general parameters
One general parameter is "Calibration Procedures in Test-Mode". It is located in the menu

"Calibration/Test procedures".

Calibration time: 16 s SCCALTIME1
Previous calibration time: 57 s
SCCALTIME2
Result...
With this parameter we can run all the calibration procedures either in the defined mode
or in a test mode (set test mode to “Yes”). The test mode means that the valve switching
and waiting for purge times is done in the same manner like in the normal calibration
procedure.
The only difference is that the single calibrations of the modules and the appropriate times
the modules would need for the calibration are not done.

A further general parameter is "Timeout for Gastest". It is located in the menu "Test
procedures".

SCTESTGAS
Timeout for gastest (0 = no timeout) 180 s
SCTIMEOUT
_______________________________________________
Procedure time: 10 s
SCCALTIME1
Analyzer-module: TFID
SCSTEPMOD
This parameter is related to the possibility to activate a gas valve of a specific module for test
purposes. Here we can determine a time after which an activated gastest automatically
switches back onto SAMPLE-Gas.
Is this parameter set to "0" no automatic back switching is done.

3.4 Controlling System Calibration
After setting-up there is the possibility to start 3 different modes:
system zero calibration: In this mode a zero-cal of all modules, which are enabled
for SYSCAL, will be performed. The order of modules
depends on purge time for zero-valves because the whole
calibration is time optimized.
system zero/span calibration: In this mode will be performed a zero-cal and a span-cal
for every enabled AM. The order of calibration is
optimized to have a minimum of calibration time. The only
condition is to have for each AM first the zero-cal and after
this the span-cal. With zero-cal an AM is zeroed with all
ranges together, the span-cal is done separately for all
available ranges. A range is available if its span-gas value
is > 0.0.
user defined sequence program: In this mode the user is responsible for the optimization.
See setup of this mode.
gas test: It is also possible to switch for test purposes onto a

special gas of a specific module. A calibration is not
done.
Any mode can be started by the following instances:

• Manually by operator interaction
• Triggered by programmable input (DIO)
• AK protocol command
• Programmed time-automatic (no gas test possible!)
• LON variable CMFUNC
It is also possible to cancel a running system calibration. This can be done by the following
instances:
• Manually by operator interaction
• Triggered by programmable input (DIO)
• AK protocol command
• LON variable CMFUNC
There is no priority by which way SYSCAL can be started. If SYSCAL was started it cannot
be restarted by a further instance. Only after canceling it can be restarted.

3.4.1 Control via menu system
The possibility to control via menu is located in the menu page “Calibration/Test procedures”.
There can be started and stopped any kind of system calibration respectively test procedure.

The result of calibration for included AMs is displayed in an own menu page. This can be
achieved by softkey “Result...” from different menu pages of SYSCAL.

It is also possible to switch for test purposes onto a special gas of a specific module. This
possibility is located in menu "Test procedures".

Gastest of specific module SAMPLE-Gas SCTESTGAS

Timeout for Gastest (0 = no timeout) 180 s SCTIMEOUT
_______________________________________________
Procedure time: 10 s SCCALTIME1
Here we first choose the specific analyzer module and then we select at the parameter
"Gastest of specific module" the required gas.

Each of the following types is possible:

• SAMPLE-Gas (test mode deactivated)
• Zero-Gas
• All valves closed
• SpanGas-1 (span gas for range 1)
With parameter "Timeout for Gastest" we can determine a time after which the activated
gastest switches automatically back onto SAMPLE-Gas.
Is this parameter set to "0" the automatic back switching is not done automatically and user
must break this mode with a "Cancel Calibration" Command.

3.4.2 Control System Calibration by LON variables
SYSCAL can also be controlled by LON variable CMFUNC. Setting this variable will cause
the appropriate function (see following table).
CMFUNC function which is started

1 system zero calibration
2 system zero/span calibration
3 user defined sequence program
4 cancel a running system calibration
We can also realize some other functionality with setting of LON variables.
Therefore see the appropriate menu pages, where the concerned variables are documented.
For example: "Test procedures".
--Test Procedures --
Gastest of specific module SAMPLE-Gas SCTESTGAS

Timeout for Gastest (0 = no timeout) 180 s SCTIMEOUT
_______________________________________________
Procedure time: 10 s SCCALTIME1
Here we have first to set variable SCSTEPMOD similar to the TAG of the requested analyzer
module. Setting SCTIMEOUT will set the timeout.
And setting variable SCTESTGAS to the appropriate enum value will start the procedure.

Enum value 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

3.4.3 Control System Calibration by Programmable Inputs
We can use the possibility to control SYSCAL by triggering with programmable inputs. This
feature is supported by inputs of the DIO module.
Assigning of an programmable input can be accomplished by using the menus for DIO
module.

1. wanted input number
2. the appropriate module as Source Module (see following table)
3. the wanted function for system calibration
The provided functions for system calibration are:

SYS:AM-Zero-Gas AM switches zero gas valve stop a running procedure 11
SYS:AM-Span-Gas1 AM switches span gas valve for range 1 stop a running procedure 12
Please take notice that all actions are edge-triggered. Therefore take care of functionality of
positive as well as negative edge.

It is also possible to configure the DIO inputs only per LON variables (i.e. SLTA adapter or
AK protocol). Therefore is the LON variable "DIOINP_ENTRYSIG" which corresponds to
DIOINPSIGC and evaluates enum values of STINAME.
For each digital input we have to setup variables in following order.
1. DIOSLOTIDC
2. DIOINPNUMC
3. DIOINPSRCC
4. DIOINP_ENTRYSIG (see enum value in STINAME)

3.4.4 Control System Calibration by AK protocol command
We can start and stop SYSCAL over serial interface by AK protocol commands. Therefore
the commands SCAL, STBY and ASTZ has to be used.
Start-Command: SCAL Kx m (n)
m Kx n
(type of SYSCAL) (channel (optional parameter)
number)
0 = ZERO-CAL K0 n = 1: switch into test mode
1 = ZERO/SPAN-CAL K0
2 = PROGRAM K0 else: switch into normal mode
3 = TEST ZERO-GAS K1...999 timeout in sec
4 = TEST SPAN-GAS1 K1...999 timeout in sec
If optional parameter n is not in command string the appropriate variable

is not changed.
Starting condition: All attached AMs are in the Standby Mode (AK STBY) and the variable
CALSTAT is 0, otherwise the response is BUSY (BS).
Stop-Command: STBY K0
Only using K0 will stop running SYSCAL procedure

(besides all the procedures of the other AMs).
Check-Command: ASTZ K0
The ASTZ K0 command gives the information if a SYSCAL procedure is

running or not.
If running it returns a “SCAL” if not this string is missed.

3.4.5 Time controlled System Calibration
To activate a time controlled system calibration we have to set-up this in an own menu page.

-- Times for Interval Operation --
Zero-Cal is: Disabled SCSTZERO

Start of interval time: 2h SCBGNZERO
Interval time: 24 h SCIVZERO
Zero/Span-Cal is: Enabled SCSTZEROSPAN
Start of interval time: 10 h SCBGNZEROSPA
Interval time: 168 h SCIVZEROSPAN
Program-Cal is: Disabled SCSTPRGM
Start of interval time: 16 h SCBGNPRGM
Interval time: 168 h SCIVPRGM
Next calibration events...
For the 3 different SYSCAL modes there is the possibility to

• enable/disable the activation
• determine start of time calculations (start time of current day)
• determine in which time intervals after start time the activation is done
Attention:
Other than in some AM functionality’s the interval time is to be input as interval hours. For
example, for a weekly calibration you have to calculate 24 h * 7 = 168 h.
The logic for the time calculations is as follows.
The basic is the respectively parameter “Start of interval time” (SIV time). By changing this
SIV time or changing the “interval time” (IV time) the basic is new calculated as date of
current day and time of the SIV Time (only entire hours possible). This basic stays valid (also
after a program reset!) until new values for SIV time or IV time are entered.
Basic time = SIV Time of current day
The next start of SYSCAL (ACT time) happens at
ACT time = Basic time + n x IV time (n = 0,1,2,3,...)
Is the basic time before present point of date/time then there are added further IV times until
it is later.

For example:
• Starting time for zero calibration: daily at 2:00 o’clock.

• Starting time for zero/span calibration: weekly at 10:00 o’clock.
• Starting time for program calibration: weekly at 16.00 o’clock
• Entry in menu page “times for interval operation” are at 4/13/99 at 8.00 o’clock
• First possible calibration: 4/14/99 at 2 o’clock (then all 24 hours automatically)
We can display the calculated ACT times in menu page “next calibration events”...
But these times will only appear when the appropriate time controlled calibration type is
enabled.

3.5 Calibrate single Analyzers/ Analyzer Modules/ MLT Channels
Each specific analyzer has still the possibility to start a calibration over other instances than
SYSCAL. For this functionality we now have some additional considerations.
• Do not start a calibration of a single AM or MLT channel during a running SYSCAL.

This will confuse the valve switching and the calibration commands of SYSCAL. Therefore
look also for all automatic start instances of an analyzer.
• A single calibration cannot use the purge times of system valve settings. Instead of we
have to setup the AMs own parameters in the manner to wait for the required purge time
after a valve switching.
• It is refused to start single calibration of a second AM if the needed calibration gas valve is
also any calibration gas valve of the first started AM.
These considerations are valid for all AMs which are included into SYSCAL.

4 Functionality
4.1 Gas flow
The gas flow through the analyzers can be configured in any way:
1. only serial
2. only parallel
3. serial and parallel mixed
Sample 1 V1 AM1 AM2 AM3
Sample 2 V2 AM4
Sample 3 V3 AM5
V 4 V 5 V 6
Calibration gas mixtures
Connections for program logic and flow configurations:
• To each AM (channel) must be assigned a sample gas valve.

• During a calibration of an AM the assigned sample gas valve will be closed and returns to
the OPEN state after the calibration of the AM is done.
• The calibration gases can only flow into an AM if sample gas valve is closed.
• With a opened sample gas valve it is expected to actually flow sample gas.
The state of assigned sample gas valve also decides about some AM specific states!

4.2 Running system calibration
The system calibration is running in an own Task. This task is only allowed to run once. Any
try to restart this task is refused.
The main steps SYSCAL Task has to do are realized in the following way.
1. Fill all actions to do into a sequence buffer.

2. Make some preparations before starting the actions
3. Work through the sequence buffer
4. Restore states and make some other finishing work
The contents of the sequence buffer depends on the type of SYSCAL (ZERO_ALL,
ZEROSPAN_ALL or USER_PROG). With the start command this type is delivered.
It is allowed to cancel the SYSCAL task. This is realized by setting a parameter to a defined
value. This parameter is watched during step 3 ("working through the sequence buffer").
If a cancel is caused the task cancels its current action in step 3, works through step 4 and
ends.
Canceling the SYSCAL task per digital input will also disable any further starting action as
long as the digital input will stay at “cancel state”.

4.2.1 Filling sequence buffer
The contents of the sequence buffer depends on

• calibration types and belonging module type
• coherence of modules and system valves
An evaluation procedure has the choice of listed action types.
Calibration types module type action types action data

NOP ALL-AMs USER-STEP Nr
ZERO-CAL single AM SWITCH_VALVE mask
SPAN-CAL Evaluation- PURGEWAIT time
ZERO/SPAN-CAL procedure ZERO AM
SPAN1-CAL SPAN AM range
SPAN2-CAL CALWAIT AM
SPAN3-CAL
SPAN4-CAL
END-OF-PGRM
One calibration type has following sequence frame:
1. SWITCH_VALVE
2. do different PURGEWAIT, ZERO, or SPAN which are possible with this valve adjustment
(order is determined by shortest purge time)
3. do different CALWAIT (wait for finishing a started calibration)
The evaluation procedure optimizes the order of actions by time.

The only condition is in case of ZERO/SPAN-CAL, where an AM has to do first its "ZERO"
before any of its "SPAN's" can be done.
The PURGEWAIT-delay-measurement is started with the last SWITCH_VALVE-action.
We can see, that the SYSCAL-types "ZERO_ALL" and "ZEROSPAN_ALL" are special cases
of a user program.
• ZERO_ALL: ZERO-CAL of ALL-AMs
• ZEROSPAN_ALL: ZERO/SPAN-CAL of ALL-AMs

Example of a filled sequence buffer
Assignment of modules, system-valves and purge-times:
AM1 AM2 AM3

SAMPLE-GAS V1 / 5 sec V1 / 5 sec V2 / 4sec
ZERO-GAS V4 / 10 sec V4 / 10 sec V5 / 12 sec
SPANGAS-1 V5 / 10 sec V5 / 10 sec V6 / 12 sec
To do is following user program:
1. ZERO-CAL ALL-modules
2. SPAN4-CAL AM2
3. END-OF-PGRM
Belonging sequence buffer:
action type action data[0] action data[1]

USER_STEP 1
SWITCH_VALVE 0006 hex (V4, V2)
PURGEWAIT 10
ZERO AM1
PURGEWAIT 10
ZERO AM2
CALWAIT AM1
CALWAIT AM2
SWITCH_VALVE 0011 hex (V5,V1)
PURGEWAIT 12
ZERO AM3
CALWAIT AM3
USER_STEP 2
SWITCH_VALVE 0012 hex (V5, V2)
PURGEWAIT 10
SPAN AM2 4
CALWAIT AM2
END-OF-PGRM
The size of sequence buffer is currently 320.

4.2.2 Before starting actions
Before any action of sequence buffer is done there are some preparations to do:
• store previous calibration time for the case of canceling

• previous calibration time is now the actual one
• actual calibration time is reset
• cancel any running calibration of an AM
4.2.3 Control of actions
4.2.3.1 Switch valves
The SWITCH_VALVE action just takes the action data[0] (valve mask) for the new setting of
system valves.
We have just to modify LON variable STCONT3, STCONT4 and partially STCONT5 , which
are linked to system valves.
This action also resets time (takes system tick) for delay measurement of purge times.
4.2.3.2 Wait for Purging
The PURGEWAIT-action looks for the present time went over since last SWITCH_VALVE-
action.
For the still required difference up to the needed purge time is now waited. It gives time to
other tasks. If there is no additional time to wait it is continued directly with next action.

4.2.3.3 Zero Calibration
Before starting of zero calibration there are some parameters (LON variables) to modify.
After ending system calibration these modified variables are restored to their previous value.
• CONTROL: This variable determines which instance is controlling range of an

AM. The parameter is set to "controlled by control module"
• ZERORNGS: This variable determines if all ranges are zeroed together or
separately. The parameter is set to "zero all ranges together".
• AMSERPHYSTAT: This variable exists only in a multi-channel AM (MLT!) and
determines if the AM has a serial/parallel gas flow.
The parameter is set to "parallel gas flow" because only this state
allows SYSCAL to calibrate the different channels simultaneously.
After modifying these parameters zero calibration is started by LON variable:
• AMFN: This variable can start functions on a AM. It is set to the value for
function "Zero".
4.2.3.4 Span Calibration
The span calibration can be done only in single ranges. Any action for a span calibration in a
range can only be done if "spangas value <> 0.0".
Before starting then span calibration there are some parameters (LON variables) to modify.
After ending system calibration these modified variables are restored to their previous value.
• CONTROL: This variable determines which instance is controlling range of an

AM. The parameter is set to "controlled by control module"
• CALRANGES: This variable determines if all ranges are spanned together or
separately. The parameter is set to "span all ranges separately".
• AMSERPHYSTAT: This variable exists only in a multi-channel AM (MLT!) and
determines if the AM has a serial/parallel gas flow.
The parameter is set to "parallel gas flow" because only this state
allows SYSCAL to calibrate the different channels simultaneously.
• CRANGE: This variable controls the current range of an AM. It is set to the
respectively required range.
After modifying these parameters span calibration is started by LON variable:
• AMFN: This variable can start functions on a AM. It is set to the value for
function "Span".

4.2.3.5 Wait for Finishing Calibration
Any AM has the LON variables
• CALSTAT
Whether the selected AM is still calibrating or not, is checked by reading the variable
CALSTAT.
This CALSTAT-check is done in time intervals. During the intervals time is given to other
tasks.
4.2.4 Finishing System Calibration
After system calibration was working through the sequence buffer or it was canceled there is
to do some finishing work.
• Actualize some displayed LON variables

• Look for some still running calibrations in case of canceling and cancel them, too.
• Restore modified LON variables of AMs.
• Switch system valves to sample gas state for all AMs
• Cause to set any AM’s LON variable PROCESS = "valid sample gas" after purging time of
sample gas valve.

4.3 Running Single Analyzer Calibration
A single analyzer calibration also needs to switch appropriate system valves.
The difference to the system calibration is that calibration procedure of AM is already running
and we have to respond upon this state.
The reaction is possible by watching any change of the LON variable CALSTAT.
• CALSTAT_ZERO (zero calibration in progress): switch off belonging sample valve and
switch on zero valve.
• CALSTAT_SPAN (span calibration in progress): switch off belonging sample valve and
switch on span valve appropriate to
current state of CRANGE-variable.
• CALSTAT_DONE (calibration finished): switch on sample valve and switch off
calibration gas valves.
After a calibration command the AM itself is responsible to wait the required purge times until
calibration actually is done.
The reaction onto a CALSTAT-change is only active if no system calibration is running.

4.4 Holding analog outputs of the SIO and avoid limit violation alarms
Any AM has LON variable:
• PROCESS
This variable is an input-variable. Its meaning is to tell the AM that another instance is not
allowing the measurement sample to flow valid.
In the AM are some states depending from PROCESS.
• "valid measurement" only if PROCESS = "valid sample gas".

• holding analog outputs if PROCESS = "no valid sample gas"
• watching limit violations is switched off if PROCESS = "no valid sample gas"
It's now the task of the system calibration to handle the variable PROCESS for any involved
AM. This is done in the following way:
Any switching of a system valve looks if in the switched valves is a sample valve of any AM.
If yes, then it sets PROCESS like follows.
sample gas time delay PROCESS-

valve variable
switched off - sample not valid
switched on purge time of sample valve sample valid
It's very important to notice following:
SYSCAL only watches state of appropriate sample gas valve for setting of PROCESS-
variable.
Any additional valve, serial to sample valve, which can switch off flow of sample gas can not
be registrated for logic of PROCESS-variable.
