OPERATING MODES

The analyzer has two operating modes: automatic and manual.

Automatic Mode

This is the normal (default) operating mode of the analyzer. Calibration, an operating optionin automatic mode, may be requested by the user by means of a local keyboard or byvoltage-free relays. During a calibration cycle, the calibration sample is admitted into theanalyzer by the calibration valve.

The control program of the analyzer operates a loop that refreshes data eight times eachsecond and stores a time count. All analog and digital inputs are monitored and analogoutputs are refreshed during each loop.

The operating cycle (or analysis cycle) is determined by the time required to perform ananalysis. The sequences within this cycle present different operating modes and states, asexplained in the following paragraphs.

Manual Mode

This may be selected using a local keyboard. Manual Mode is used when adjustingoperating parameters and when servicing the analyzer.

ADJUSTING THE OPERATING PARAMETERS

The operating parameters may be adjusted using a local keyboard. Normally theseparameters are set at the factory and are listed on the supplied Data Sheet. However, insome cases it may be necessary to adjust one or more parameters to compensate for sitevariations. If it is necessary to adjust any of the parameters, proceed as follows:

WARNING

Before opening any analyzer doors or covers, ensure the area is safe andhazard-free and will remain so the entire time the analyzer is open.

1. Connect the local keyboard as described in "Local Keyboard."

2. The operating screen should appear on the display.

3. Press the Esc key. A list of sample streams (0 through 3) appears on the display.

4. Select the appropriate stream using the "up" and "down" arrow keys.

Page 20: Model 4212 Pour Point Analyzer - ABB Group...Purge Air Alarm The analyzer contains circuits that detect the loss of purge air to the analyzer and generate alarm signals to the customer.

3-4 4212-OSM, C1

5. Press the Enter key.

6. In the parameters table, you can change any parameter by using the "up" and "down"arrow keys to select that parameter.

7. To change a parameter enter the desired number when the cursor is in that parameter'sfield.

8. When you have finished with the parameter table, press the Esc key.

9. Select Y (yes) or N (no) to save your changes.

10. Press Esc to return to the main screen and continue the analysis.

OPERATING PHASES

The analyzer has nine operating phases or states: flush, settle, charge, heat, cool, ready,unplug, standby, and error. During normal operation, the display will indicate the activephase.

Flush

During the FLUSH phase, the burette is purged and filled to the top of the overflow tube bythe fresh sample. The sample is usually that of the process to be controlled. In the case of acalibration cycle, it is the standard product. The duration of the FLUSH phase is a userprogrammable parameter. The duration setting is usually between 30 and 60 seconds.

Settle

During the SETTLE phase, the sample valve is closed so that the cell temperature and thedetector signal can stabilize. While the duration of this phase may be changed by means ofa user programmable parameter, it is usually set at about 30 seconds. During this time thevolume of the sample is kept at about 25 to 30 ml. (This volume is defined in the burette bythe adjustable overflow tube.)

Charge

During this phase, the amount of sample (25 to 30 ml) is transferred from the burette to thecup within the detector cell.

Heat

The sample is heated to 57° C (this temperature is user-programmable). Two heatercartridges are part of the detector cell. The COOL phase cannot begin until this temperatureis reached.

Cool

During the COOL phase, the thermoelectric elements are supplied as follows.

If the cell temperature is higher than the maximum value of the measure range,the supply is at its maximum value.

Page 21: Model 4212 Pour Point Analyzer - ABB Group...Purge Air Alarm The analyzer contains circuits that detect the loss of purge air to the analyzer and generate alarm signals to the customer.

4212-OSM, C1 3-5

If the cell temperature is within the measure range but higher than the targetpoint, the cooling control is on.

If the cell temperature is lower than the target point, the cooling control is off.

In the first operating cycle, when there has been no previous detection, only thehigh cooling control is on.

The cooling rate is not measured or adjusted directly. A temperature ramp is generated as asetpoint and the cooling power is modulated at the output in order to minimize the differencebetween the ramp temperature and the effective temperature of the cell at the same time.

During the COOL phase, the output signal of the detector is controlled. If the optical detectorsignal varies by more than a threshold value, it is considered that a pour point has beenreached. When a pour point is detected, the COOL phase terminates and the analyzer isswitched to the READY phase.

If COOLER TIME-OUT is reached before detection of a pour point, the analyzer is switchedagain to the FLUSH phase and a warning is emitted (COOLER TIME-OUT).

The on and off cooling states, the cooler time-out, and the detection threshold may bechanged by user-programmable parameters. Typically, the detection threshold is 0.1 to 1.2Volts and the cooler time-out is 60 minutes.

If the difference between the ramp temperature and the effective cell temperature is higherthan 10° C, a cooling error is emitted and the following phase will be ERROR.

Ready

During the READY phase, the state relay is active/inactive (customer selected), the 4 to 20mA output signal is updated and any warning message on the display is deleted.

Unplug

During this phase, the heating cartridges are switched on to heat the sample and allow thecup within the detector cell to be drained. A new cycle starts with this sequence.

Standby

The STANDBY phase may be selected manually by means of a local keyboard or by logicinput from an external source. During STANDBY, the sample valve is open and the sampleflows through the cell to the sample return or not, depending on the parameter settings. Thetwo 4 to 20 mA signals then follow the cell temperature, allowing the calibration of thetemperature sensor to be verified and adjusted. Any stored pour point value is thencancelled, as well as any possible alarms or warnings.

Error

This phase corresponds to an operating error.

A lamp fault is detected by lamp current measurement. Accordingly, a low value maycorrespond to an open circuit and a high value to a short circuit. In the case of such an errordetection, this phase will be cancelled if the original conditions are reestablished. A looselamp leads to an error condition that will automatically trigger, for example on tightening. Thetransmission of the ERROR phase will follow the same mode.

Page 22: Model 4212 Pour Point Analyzer - ABB Group...Purge Air Alarm The analyzer contains circuits that detect the loss of purge air to the analyzer and generate alarm signals to the customer.

3-6 4212-OSM, C1

However, a cooling error state may only be acknowledged by toggling to STANDBY phaseand back again.

Alarms do not usually degrade the operating cycle. An alarm will toggle the respective relayand issue a message on the printer, if it is connected. The possible alarms are describedbelow.

Fast Loop Low Flow Error

This error is emitted by a sample system flow relay; it indicates that the fast loop flow is lowerthan the set threshold.

Filter Differential Pressure Error

This error is emitted by a differential pressure relay to the terminals of the filter; it indicates anexcessively high loss of load, probably due to clogging of the filter cartridge.

Analyzer Low Flow Error

This error is emitted by a flowmeter warning relay; it indicates that during the FLUSH phase,the sample flow to the analyzer is insufficient. A delay is added to this function in order toabsorb the read fluctuation that may arise when the sample intake valve opens.

Low Standard Level Error

This error is emitted by a low level contactor on standard product reserve; it indicates thatthere is an insufficient quantity of product to run a calibration cycle. Since the calibration istriggered manually, there is no cycle inhibit when this error condition occurs.

External Error

This error is emitted by a voltage-free relay; it will be shown on the display, issued by theprinter and will actuate the alarm relay. This type of error may be used for any type ofinformation delivered by the system (temperature warning, for example).

Low Difference Error

This error is emitted when a pour point is detected with a value of more than 3° C below theprevious value.

High Difference Error

This error is emitted when a pour point is detected with a value of more than 3° C above theprevious value.

Low Sample Error

This error is emitted when a pour point of the input sample is detected with a value lowerthan the range start.

Page 23: Model 4212 Pour Point Analyzer - ABB Group...Purge Air Alarm The analyzer contains circuits that detect the loss of purge air to the analyzer and generate alarm signals to the customer.

4212-OSM, C1 3-7

Low Calibration Sample Error

This error is emitted when a pour point of the standard (calibration) sample is detected with avalue lower than the range start.

High Sample Error

This error is emitted when a pour point of the input sample is detected with a value higherthan the range end.

High Calibration Sample Error

This error is emitted when a pour point of the standard (calibration) sample is detected with avalue higher than the range end.

Cool Time-Out Error

This error is emitted for a time-out higher than a predetermined value. When it is emitted,cooling halts and the analyzer switches to FLUSH phase instead of READY phase.

Low Sample Temperature Error

This error is emitted for an insufficient cell temperature increase after the HEAT phase of thecycle. Experience has shown that if this value is not reached, the repeatability and precisionof the measurements may be altered.

OUTPUTS

Measuring Signals

The two outputs of 4 to 20 mA are for the following:

• stored values of pour point measurements or cell temperature follow-up

• calibration signal

Relay Outputs

The NO or NC operating state may be modified by user programmable parameters.

Read Relay: This relay is activated when the pour point measurement signal is validated. Itis not activated when the signal is invalid, and its duration is programmable (usually twoseconds). At the same time the analog measurement signal is updated.

Calibration Relay: This relay is activated for the duration of each new calibration cycle.

Alarm Relay: This relay is activated if an alarm condition has been detected.Acknowledgment is automatic if the condition disappears.

Warning Relay: This relay is activated if a warning condition is detected. This error level canonly be acknowledged by manual intervention.

Page 24: Model 4212 Pour Point Analyzer - ABB Group...Purge Air Alarm The analyzer contains circuits that detect the loss of purge air to the analyzer and generate alarm signals to the customer.

3-8 4212-OSM, C1

Sample Temperature Sensor

A Pt 100 probe with two-wire connection is placed upstream from the detector cell input.

Printer Output

The analyzer can also be connected to a serial printer through the RS232 COM 1 port. Thetransmission speed is 9,600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits. At the end of each cycle,the pour point value is reported, preceded by the date and the time. The report is completedby the identification of the cycle: “PRODUCT SAMPLE" or “CALIBRATION”.

If an error or warning condition arises, it will be reported on the printer.

INPUTS

External Commands Inputs

These inputs are for the terminal boards on which the normally closed relays will activate thefunction.

Calibration: After activation, this input will trigger a calibration cycle that will start at the endof the cycle in progress, if any. When a pour point is detected during a calibration cycle,the second 4 to 20 mA signal is updated instead of the first signal.

Measurement Memory/Follow-Up: After activation, this input will trigger each 4 to 20 mAanalog output in continuous follow-up mode. This mode permits verification of theproper settings of the electronics.

Standby: After activation, the analyzer is set into STANDBY phase and the sample runscontinuously through the cell, or does not run (customer selected).

After deactivation, the analyzer starts a new cycle in FLUSH phase.

This logical input may also be used to reinitialize the state of the analyzer. In this case,there is acknowledgment of the error messages and reinitialization of the calibrationvalues.

Selecting a Set of Parameters: There are four sets of user-programmable parameters. Theset used by the analyzer is determined by the state of two relays: Selection Relay 1 andSelection Relay 2.

SELECTION RELAY 1 STATE : 0 : 1 : 0 : 1 :SELECTION RELAY 2 STATE : 0 : 0 : 1 : 1 :SELECTED SET OF PARAMETERS : 0 : 1 : 2 : 3 :

External Alarms and Warnings Inputs

These six supplementary inputs each consist of one pair of terminals from which the state ofa relay (NO or NC according to the parameters set) permits the signalling of an externalalarm or warning state.

Page 25: Model 4212 Pour Point Analyzer - ABB Group...Purge Air Alarm The analyzer contains circuits that detect the loss of purge air to the analyzer and generate alarm signals to the customer.

4212-OSM, C1 3-9

Fast Loop Low Flow: This alarm indicates that the flow value has dropped below apredetermined value on the detection sensor.

High Filter Differential Pressure: This alarm indicates that the pressurestat connected tothe terminals of the input filter has been triggered and that the filter is very probablyclogged.

Low Analyzer Flow: This alarm indicates that the flow in FLUSH phase is lower than apredetermined value.

Low Standard Level: This alarm indicates that the level of standard remaining in reserve isinsufficient to run a calibration cycle.

External Alarm: This alarm indicates that an external relay has been activated. It is alsopossible to protect the analyzer and its proper operation with one or more peripheralwarnings and transmit them to the control room as a general alarm.

External Warning: This warning stops the operation of the analyzer and is transmitted to thecontrol room.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

The analyzer may be configured using the local keyboard, as described in "Local Keyboard."

Flush Time

The flush time may be selected in the range of 15 to 120 seconds. If the flush time is tooshort, it may give rise to low temperature warnings and/or precision and repeatabilityproblems. The flush temperature has to be set according to the application.

Charge Time

The charge time may be between 10 and 120 seconds. The optimal charge time dependsentirely on the sample viscosity.

Settle Time

This time may be selected from between 15 and 120 seconds. If the settle time is too short,it may give rise to false detection (too much sample in the detector cell cup).

4212-OSM, C1 3-11

Fill Time

This time may be selected from between 10 and 120 seconds.

Ready Time

This time may be set from 1 to 5 seconds.

Unplug Time

The unplug time may be set between 1 and 10 minutes. It should be set to allow the productto reach a viscosity compatible with atmospheric draining.

Heat Time-Out

The heat time-out may be set between 10 and 60 minutes in one-minute increments. Thistime should be selected to avoid false warnings.

Cool Time-Out

The cool time-out may be set between 10 and 60 minutes in one-minute increments. Thistime should be selected to avoid false warnings.

Cooling Rate

The cooling rate may vary from 0.1 to 9.9° C/minute. It should usually be set to 2° to 4° C/minute.

Cooler Fail Level

This value should be set between -32° C and +32° C in increments of 1° C.

Pour Point Range Minimum

This value should be set between -32° C and +32° C in increments of 1° C and be at least 8°C lower than the selected maximum pour point range value.

Pour Point Range Maximum

This value should be set between -32° C and +32° C in increments of 1° C and be at least 8°C higher than the selected minimum pour point range value.

Calibration Range Minimum

This is the same as Pour Point Range Minimum, but for the calibration samples.

Calibration Range Maximum

3-12 4212-OSM, C1

Flush Temperature Minimum

This value should be set at +57° C.

Pour Point Offset

This offset may be adjusted across the range from -16 to +16° C. It is added to the celltemperature when a pour point is detected in order to obtain a value that will then be shown,transmitted and printed. This offset value is used to correlate the laboratory analysis valuewith the value indicated by the analyzer.

Calibrate Offset

This is the same as Pour Point Offset, but for the calibration samples.

Range Offset

The range offset may be between 0 and +40° C in increments of 1° C. This parameter allowsthe analyzer measurement range to be shifted to negative values.

Example:

If the typical range of the analyzer is -32° C to +32° C and a range offset of -32° C isselected, the resulting range will be -64° C to 0° C.

Detector Threshold

The detector threshold may be selected between 0 and 2.5 Volts in increments of 0.01 Volt.This allows acceptance of detection differences that could be linked to the nature of thesample.

Display Width

This may be set in increments of 1 second. Display Width allows you to reduce or increasethe period of time displayed in the graphics window of the display (like the time base rate onan oscilloscope).

Relay Outputs - Logical Inputs

Each of the relay functions may correspond to an open or closed contact when the relay is tobe activated. Each of the logical input functions may be controlled by opening or closing arelay, depending on the requirements of the site.

The following is a list of the relay outputs and logical inputs:

4212-OSM, C1 3-13

Cooling Control Parameters

In order to align the cooling control operation, three parameters are accessible to the user:proportional, integral and derived. Each parameter may be adjusted between 0 and 99.

The following procedure should be used:

1. Adjust the proportional parameter to 10 while the integral and derived parameters areset to 0.

2. Run the analyzer and change the proportional parameter until the characteristicdamping of the cell temperature displays ripples.

3. Progressively increase the derived parameter in order to reduce the observed ripples toa minimum.

4. When the damping has reached its maximum (minimum ripple), an offset is usuallyobserved between the target temperature and the cell temperature, with this offset risingas the cell temperature drops. This offset may be reduced by increasing the value of theintegral parameter.

Generally speaking, it is not advisable to try to eliminate completely all forms of ripple in thetemperature measurement, but rather to find the best possible compromise. The absence ofvariations of the same type on the 4 to 20 mA analog follow-up of the cell temperature willindicate a good compromise.

Additional Parameters

The user has access to two supplementary parameters that influence and force the operationof the analyzer:

Product valve in standby: determines whether this valve will remain open (1) or closed (0)in STANDBY phase.

Maximum coolant temperature: determines the maximum acceptable temperature of thecooling water at the outlet of the heat exchangers. If the temperature exceeds theselected value, the power to the thermoelectric coolers is shut off.

SECTION 4. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The Pour Point Analyzer is used to measure the pour point of a liquid hydrocarbon sample.The pour point is defined as that temperature where the liquid sample shows no movementwhen the sample is cooled.

One of the main components of the analyzer system is the detector cell, which operates asan optical latch or switch. When there is movement (low viscosity) in the sample, no light isdetected and hence no output from the detector. When there is no movement (highviscosity), light is reflected to the photodiode detector via the light guide, producing anoutput. At the time an output is produced, the temperature is measured and defined as thepour point.

The remaining components of the analyzer system control and monitor temperature, cycletime, and operating states. In addition, the analyzer sends reports and operating status to thecontrol room via a printer, relay contacts, or a computer.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Pour Point Analyzer consists of a Sample Interface, an Analysis Assembly and aController Assembly. Refer to the system block diagram in Figure 4-1 for the followingdiscussion.

The Sample Interface provides the components to handle and control the sample input, thecalibration input, the cooling water input, and the instrument air input. The sample systemcontrols the sample flow rate, and whether the sample or the calibration input is sent to thedetector cell. The Sample Interface also controls the flow rate of the cooling water, coupledto the heat exchangers within the Analysis Assembly. The instrument air pressure is set by apressure regulator in the Sample Interface and is coupled to the Controller Assemblysolenoid valves, which provide valve control, and to the Analysis Assembly to provide purgeair.

The Analysis Assembly contains the detector cell and temperature probes to sense thesample, coolant, and cell temperatures, which are coupled to the Controller Assembly. Thecooler control voltage from the Controller Assembly is connected to the thermoelectriccoolers in the Analysis Assembly, which cool the detector cell. When the pour point isdetected, a signal is generated and sent to the Controller Assembly.

The Controller Assembly has two main subassemblies: the Power Supply and the ControllerElectronics. The Power Supply contains the power supplies that provide operating voltagesfor the Controller Electronics, the 28 Vdc power supply that provides the control voltage tothe thermoelectric coolers in the Analysis Assembly, and the solenoid valves to provide theair control for the sample and calibration valves. In addition, the Power Supply contains theterminal board connections for peripheral equipment, such as a printer and/or a recorder.The Controller Electronics provides the operating control for the analyzer through the internalCPU and associated circuitry, by establishing cycle times, operating states, solenoid valvecontrol, data handling, and data outputs for peripheral equipment. The Controller Electronicsalso accepts the detector signal for processing and monitors the three temperatures (sample,coolant, and cell).

SAMPLE INTERFACE

The Sample Interface components typically consist of three shutoff valves, two air activatedswitching valves, two flow meters with associated needle valves, a pressure indicator, acheck valve, and a combined assembly. The combined assembly consists of a pressureregulator and a pressure indicator. Refer to the Sample Interface flow diagram in Figure 4-2for the following discussion.

Page 33: Model 4212 Pour Point Analyzer - ABB Group...Purge Air Alarm The analyzer contains circuits that detect the loss of purge air to the analyzer and generate alarm signals to the customer.

4212-OSM, C1 4-3

Figure 4-2. SAMPLE INTERFACE FLOW DIAGRAM

The instrument air passes through the shutoff valve and is coupled to the combinationassembly, where the air pressure is regulated and indicated on the pressure indicator. Theoutput goes to the Controller Assembly to provide the control air via the solenoid valves tothe sample and calibration valves.

The calibration input passes through the shutoff valve and is coupled to the input of the airactuated calibrate valve. If the valve is open, the input is coupled to the junction at the outputof the sample valve, through the sample flowmeter to the detector cell in the AnalysisAssembly.

The sample input passes through the shutoff valve to the junction at the input of the samplevalve. When the sample valve is open, the sample passes through the flowmeter, where theflow rate is adjusted by the integral needle valve, and is coupled to the detector cell in theAnalysis Assembly. The sample pressure is measured on the pressure indicator at the inputto the flowmeter. When the sample valve is closed, the sample passes through the checkvalve to the sample return. This continuous sample flow insures that a fresh sample isavailable at all times.

The water input passes through the shutoff valve and the flowmeter, where the flow rate isadjusted by the integral needle valve, and is coupled to the heat exchangers in the AnalysisAssembly. The heat exchangers dissipate the heat from the thermoelectric coolers in theAnalysis Assembly.

ANALYSIS ASSEMBLY

The Analysis Assembly contains the detector cell, three temperature probes, a Cell ControlBoard, two Heat Exchangers, and thermoelectric coolers. The detector cell consists of a lightsource, a mirror, a window, two light guides, a photodiode detector, two heater cartridges,and a slowly rotating cup within the cell body. Refer to the Analysis Assembly block diagram(Figure 4-3) for the following discussion.

Figure 4-3. ANALYSIS ASSEMBLY BLOCK DIAGRAM

The sample flows into the burette and fills to the level of the adjustable overflow tube,providing a volume of 25 to 30 ml. The burette is heated and vented to expedite the samplehandling and the flow into the detector cell. The sample return from the overflow tube is atatmospheric pressure and will flow continuously as long as the sample valve is open (FLUSHphase). The metered sample flows into the detector cell during the CHARGE phase whenthe control air from a solenoid in the Controller Assembly is applied to the gear drivenactuator, causing the valve between the burette and the detector cell to open, filling thesample cup. The sample remains in the slowly rotating sample cup during the analysis cycle.

During the analysis cycle, the cooler control voltage from the Controller Assembly is appliedto the thermoelectric cooler elements, driving the internal detector cell temperature down tothe pour point. As the temperature of the sample cup drops, the viscosity of the samplechanges from a low viscosity to a high viscosity substance. Prior to the cell temperature

4212-OSM, C1 4-5

reaching the pour point, the viscosity of the sample is low and has no effect on the pendulumassembly. The pendulum assembly consists of a steel ball mounted on the end of theassembly, a mirror mounted on the pivot point of the assembly, and a temperature probemounted inside the assembly to measure the temperature of the steel ball. The pendulumassembly is suspended vertically over the sample cup, and slightly offcenter, with the steelball immersed in the sample.

The light beam from the light source (LS) is concentrated by the horizontally mounted lightguide (LG), strikes the mirror (M) and is reflected back toward the source. No light isreflected to the photodetector (PD) light guide (LG) during this time. Therefore there is nooutput from the detector cell. When the cell temperature drops near the pour point, theviscosity of the sample increases and the constantly rotating sample cup causes thependulum assembly to move slightly from the vertical position. At some point the pendulum(with its mirror) will be deflected enough to reflect some portion of the light beam toward thehorizontally mounted light guide (LG) and photodiode detector. The photodiode detector lightguide will pick up the reflected light and couple it to the photodiode detector (PD), whichproduces an output within the -5 to +5 Vdc range to the Controller Assembly, via the amplifieron the Cell Control Board.

When the detector cell produces an output that exceeds the preset threshold, thetemperature of the steel ball is retained in memory and defined as the pour point. When thepour point is reached, the cooler control voltage is shut off and power is applied to the heatercartridges in the thermal block. This raises the temperature of the sample cup, allowing thesample to be drained from the sample cup. This draining occurs when control air from asolenoid valve in the Controller Assembly is applied to the actuator at the bottom of thedetector cell, causing the actuator to open the valve on the bottom of the sample cup,releasing the sample to the sample return (at atmospheric pressure). The thermal block isused to provide a uniform temperature transfer to the sample cup during the cooling andheating cycles.

The detector cell is cooled by thermoelectric coolers (TEC), which have the propertyof transferring heat from one side of the element to the other upon application of theappropriate voltage. The cool side of each element is attached to the body of thecell and the warm side of the element is attached to the associated heat exchanger(HE). The water flowing through the heat exchangers dissipates the heat, allowingthe detector to cool.

The Cell Control Board contains an amplifier to boost the output of the photodiode detector(PD) and a threshold circuit to ensure that the detector output exceeds a preset level. Thethreshold circuit eliminates noise spikes, etc., prior to coupling the detected signal to theController Assembly. This board also contains a permanently controlled power supply for thelight source (LS) and a monitor circuit to determine any lamp malfunction (such as an opencircuit or an overcurrent condition). A lamp malfunction causes a logic signal to be generatedand coupled to the Controller Assembly.

Three temperature probes are installed in the Analysis Assembly to measure thetemperatures of the sample, the coolant and the detector cell. These signals are monitoredby the Controller Assembly.

CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY

The Controller Assembly consists of the Power Supply and Controller Electronicssubassemblies.

4-6 4212-OSM, C1

Power Supply

The Power Supply contains five solenoid valves, a Relay Board, a 28 Vdc power supply, anda Switched Mode Power Supply Unit. Refer to the Power Supply block diagram (Figure 4-4)for the following discussion.

Figure 4-4. POWER SUPPLY BLOCK DIAGRAM

The solenoid valves switch the air on and off to the air actuated valves of the SampleInterface and the actuators in the Analysis Assembly that control the filling and draining of thesample cup. The solenoid valves are switched by the presence or absence of 24 Volts onthe solenoid valve coil. This actuating voltage is supplied from the Relay Board to theappropriate solenoid valve. The Relay Board also provides contact closures to the remoteControl Room to indicate analyzer status. The Relay Board logic control and status inputsare derived from the Controller Electronics.

The 28 Vdc power supply provides the voltage for the thermoelectric cooler elements locatedin the Analysis Assembly during the cooling cycle of the analyzer.

The Switched Mode Power Supply Unit provides the voltage sources for the electroniccomponents in the Analysis Assembly, the Power Supply and the Controller Electronics. Thefollowing voltages are provided by the Switched Mode Power Supply Unit:

Controller Electronics

The Controller Electronics consists of an internal computer (CPU) and associated interfacecircuitry mounted on PC compatible electronic boards. The major components include: theLCD screen, the Processor Board (CPU), the Signal-Analog Outputs Board, the AcquisitionBoard, the LCD VGA Controller Board, the Graphics Display Inverter Board (Inverter Board),the Temperature Sensor Interface Board, and the Interface Module. Refer to the ControllerElectronics block diagram in Figure 4-5 for the following discussion.

Figure 4-5. CONTROLLER ELECTRONICS BLOCK DIAGRAM

The Processor Board (CPU) contains two flash memories (unit D) and one static memory(unit E). This board has two serial input-output ports, configured as COM 1 and COM 2. TheCOM 1 port is normally connected to a serial printer and the COM 2 port can be connected toa computer.

The Signal-Analog Outputs Board can process eight analog outputs of 0 to 5 Volts. Theseoutputs are equipped with sample and memory circuits, which are refreshed eight times asecond. Two of these outputs are converted into 4 to 20 mA signals by Analog Device 2B22modules. Five of the other outputs are used to provide compensation to the detector signal,and to provide temperature compensation for the cell, the coolant, and the sampletemperatures.

The Acquisition Board has eight 12-bit analog input (A/D Converter) channels, one dual-buffered 12-bit output (D/A Converter) channel, a 16-bit digital input (TTL compatible), and a16-bit digital output (TTL compatible).

The LCD VGA Controller Board provides the control interface to the LCD screen.

The Temperature Sensor Interface Board contains three amplifier circuits used in conjunctionwith the three temperature probes in the Analysis Assembly to measure the cell, the coolant,and the sample temperatures.

The cell temperature probe amplifier converts the resistance variation of the temperatureprobe into an output signal of -5 to +5 Volts. This output signal represents a temperaturevariation of 64° C. Consequently, the cell temperature compensation signal allows thiscompensation value to be varied from 0 to 5 Volts, that is, from -32° C to 0° C. The normalcompensation value is usually adjusted to -32° C, which means that a temperature of 0° Ccorresponds to an output of 0 Volts.

The coolant and sample temperature probe amplifiers convert the resistance variation of thetemperature probe into an output signal of -5 to +5 Volts. These output signals represent atemperature variation of 64° C, compensated to 32° C, which means that a temperature of 0°C corresponds to an output of 0 Volts.

VALVE OPERATION

Figure 4-6 shows the valve operations for the Pour Point Analyzer.

Figure 4-7. X PURGE WITH COVER REMOVED

When you turn the power ON, X Purge begins monitoring the Controller Assembly air purgepressure. When the air purge pressure reaches the specified level, the X Purge starts atimed cycle. If the air purge pressure remains at the specified level during the timed cycle, XPurge will supply power to the equipment when it completes the timed cycle. If the air purgepressure drops before the X Purge completes the timed cycle, X Purge resets the timer andstarts over. It continues to reset the timer until the analyzer achieves and maintains thecorrect pressure for a complete timed cycle. The X Purge will not supply power to theanalyzer until it sucessfully completes the timed cycle.

The X Purge cycle time depends totally on the application, but it may vary with analyzerconfiguration and condition. Refer to the analyzer label or Data Package for specific purgespecifications. Once X Purge applies power to the analyzer, power continues to the analyzeras long as the Controller Assembly maintains air purge pressure.

X Purge removes power from the analyzer when the Controller Assembly air purge pressuredrops below specifications. It locks out power to the analyzer and activates an alarm. Theanalyzer has connections available to the customer for connecting the purge alarm to avisual or audible annunciator located in a constantly monitored area.

In order to re-start the analyzer after an X Purge alarm, you must first correct the cause ofthe drop in pressure. Then turn the power OFF at the circuit breaker for at least ten secondsand turn the power back ON. This starts a new X Purge timed cycle, which it must completebefore it will supply power to the analyzer. If you do not correct the cause and cannotachieve and maintain pressure, the X Purge will not complete the cycle and will not supplypower to the analyzer.

When X Purge removes and locks out power to the analyzer after a drop in ControllerAssembly purge air pressure (or before pressure has initially attained the specified level),you can use Override to provide power to the analyzer for troubleshooting or maintenancepurposes. Override does not cancel the X Purge power lockout but temporarily overrides it.

X Purge Override Option

WARNING

Before you enable X Purge Override to override its control of power tothe analyzer, ensure the area where the analyzer is located is safe andhazard free, and remains so for the entire time the X Purge housing coveris removed.

CAUTION

Override must not be left on during regular operation of the analyzer.

Use the X Purge Override Option only for start up, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Donot leave it on during regular operation of the analyzer. Override requires a well-lighted areato function. A light sensor inside the X Purge housing allows you to enable Override afteryou remove the X Purge housing cover. When you replace the cover, the light sensorcancels Override.

The following steps describe how to use the override function.

1. Ensure the area is safe and well-lit.

2. Remove the X Purge housing cover and press the Override button (see Figure 4-7) toapply power to the analyzer.

NOTE

CENELEC versions of the X Purge have a set screw in the lid that mustbe removed before the housing cover can be removed.

3. Perform the necessary maintenance and troubleshooting.

4. When you have completed the maintenance and troubleshooting, replace the X Purgehousing cover (and the CENELEC set screw).

5. To cancel Override safely and properly and to reset X Purge, turn the supply power OFFat the circuit breaker outside the analyzer (for at least ten seconds) and then turn powerON again.

6. With X Purge reset, the air purge timed cycle begins in the Controller Assembly.

When you use Override during start-up, it overrides the X Purge control of power to theanalyzer, but the air purge timed cycle continues. Once the Controller Assembly haspressurized and X Purge completes its timed purge cycle, the analyzer will have power fromthe X Purge. If you replace the housing cover without turning the power off at the circuitbreaker, the analyzer will still have power because of X Purge.

If the Controller Assembly pressure drops during Override use and if the timed cycle iscomplete, the X Purge will lock out its power to the analyzer. Since Override bypasses the XPurge, the analyzer will still have power. If you cancel Override by replacing the housingcover without turning off the power at the circuit breaker, the X Purge power lock out willcause the analyzer to be without power. To restart X Purge, you must correct the cause of

4212-OSM, C1 4-11

the drop in pressure, then turn power OFF (for at least ten seconds), and then ON again.The X Purge must complete its timed cycle before the analyzer will receive power.

NOTE

The remote control feature of the Override option is not available on CSAcertified analyzers.

The X Purge housing has terminals for connecting a remote control override (see Figure 4-7), except in CSA certified analyzers. The customer is solely responsible for connecting andmaintaining the remote control switch. This remote control is only to be used during start-up,maintenance and troubleshooting. The customer must ensure the remotely controlledoverride is removed when start-up, maintenance and troubleshooting is completed.

TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS

Most troubleshooting should begin at the display. Periodic observation of the normal displayshould make abnormalities rather easy to spot. For example, if the temperature trace is notfollowing the desired line, it probably indicates a need to readjust the cooling rate parametersor a failure in the cooling circuit.

When power to the analyzer is turned OFF (or an inadvertent shutdown occurs), a three-waysolenoid valve automatically shuts off sample and calibration flow to the analyzer.
