PLEASE NOTE: You must have at least one PGMMOD05 on location to program an IFM0001. One PGMMOD05 can be used across multiple other IFM0001 units.
This article covers wiring and key parameters that need configured when installing an IFM0001 in almost any application. The unit contains many other parameters that may not need addressed by most users and their applications, which are detailed in the unit's manual.
APPLICABLE PRODUCTS
IFM0001
PGMMOD05
PRE-REQUISITES
The IFM0001 is installed with a PGMMOD05 interface module.
IN THIS ARTICLE
This article covers wiring configurations for different input and output types as well as details key parameters users are likely to alter. The sections are:
WIRING
Main power:
21.6-253 VAC or 19.2-300 VDC
Note: There is no polarity distinction on main power
Inputs:
*Note: Only one of the options below should be chosen
Outputs:
*Note: current outputs and voltage outputs are mutually exclusive of each other
MENU STRUCTURE
There are three buttons on the programming module:
Circle - Enters the programming menu on first press, each subsequent press accepts the selection on-screen and moves to the next parameter in line
Up - Scrolls you up through the parameter selections
Down - Scrolls you down through the parameter selections
The unit's menu structure is linear, meaning each parameter is hidden behind the one before it. You must press the circle button to cycle through each parameter, even ones that may not be used in your application to access the ones you actually need.
PLEASE NOTE: At the end of programming, you must press the circle button until you get to the end of the parameter ladder. You will see "Wait" show on screen, indicating that the unit is saving the configuration.
ESSENTIAL PARAMETERS
ADV.SET - Allows the user to access the advanced settings menu for simulation, password security, calibration, and configuration upload/download. This is typically set to "No" for the first time setup
IN TYPE - Selects the input signal type being used, must match the wiring configuration selected above for the input (select NPN for use with our encoders and proximity sensors)
S.SUP - Sets the level for the IFM's voltage output to be used to power the connected sensor. Can be set between 5 to 17VDC.
IN.UNIT - Sets the units being referenced for your signal range, typically best to use Hz
IN.LO - Sets the minimum input frequency for your overall application. If this is to be 0Hz, set this instead to 1.000Hz as zero is not a possible option
IN.HI - Sets the maximum input frequency the IFM expects to see from your application
DEC.P - Sets the decimal place for the PGM readout if it were to be installed indefinitely with the IFM, in higher frequency application ranges it's suggested to leave this at a single decimal if any at all
DISP.LO - Sets the low display scaling value for the PGM screen. This is typically 0
DISP.HI - Sets the high display scaling value for the PGM screen. If you wish to scale your unit's frequency from 0-100, this is where you enter a 100 value. If you want to retain 1 for 1 scaling with your raw frequency, then enter the max Hz value for the incoming signal here.
OUT.TY - Sets the analog output signal type, voltage or current
OUT.MOD (current only) - Sets the mA signal to either active or passive, providing driving voltage for the loop
O.RANGE - Selects the signal range (from low to high) of the analog output in either VDC or mADC depending on the output type chosen
REL.UNI - Sets the scaling relationship for the relay action. DISP uses the display scaling values set previously while PERC is a percentage scale of the Input range set previously
R1.FUNC - Sets the behavior for the unit's relay output, be it setpoint, window, input error, or power status
R1.CONT (for setpoint and widow behaviors only) - Sets the relay contact to normally open or normally closed
R1.SETP (for setpoint behavior only) - Sets the value for a relay state change
SETP.LO (for window behavior only) - Sets the low end of the alarm window
SETP.HI (for window behavior only) - Sets the high end of the alarm window
ACT.DIR (for setpoint and widow behaviors only) - Sets direction for the alarm in setpoint behavior: increasing for a high alarm, decreasing for a low alarm. In window behavior, switches between alarm inside window or outside the window
R1.HYST - Sets the distance from the setpoint activation value for the relay to reset
There are other parameters found in this unit's programming ladder, but these are the most commonly used. This list may even cover parameters your application doesn't call for, in which case they can be left at default values.
