INSTALATION

4.1 MECHANIC INSTALATION
The NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter is designed to have its housing fixed to a 35 mm DIN rail, as shown in Fig. 02. The 35 mm DIN rail installation must be carried out after the device has been configured.

1NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 1

Installation recommendations:

  • The pneumatic hoses must be installed after the device has been fitted to the 35 mm DIN rail.
  • In order to avoid problems with condensation, the device must be installed above the point to be measured.
  • The extension of the hoses does not affect the device accuracy. Very long hoses, however, can result in measurement delays.
  • Hoses should not be bent or sharp curves should not be taken. Such actions may result in airflow interruption and possible sensor reading blockage.

1NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 2

The hose do not come with the device.
Overpressure: Excessive pressure, which exceeds the NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter capacity, can cause irreversible mechanical and electrical damage to  the device. In order to avoid damaging the operator or the device installer, follow the installation instructions and use the appropriate protection and device.

CONFIGURATION

The NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter is configurable by any of its interfaces. Due to the ease of use of the interface, it is recommended to configure via  USB using the NXperience software, but the device can also be configured via Modbus RTU by writing directly in their configuration registers.
The description of the device registers, together with the configuration tables, can be found in the Serial Communication chapter.

5.1 GENERAL CONFIGURATION
The purchase of the pressure value is done in digital analogue analysis solutions of the internal sensor of the device. You can select the pressure unit to be used from the  following options: mbar, mpsi, in H2O, mm H2O or Pa. Changes in this setting cause transmission limits and alarm set points to be reverted to the default values, which are the operating limits of the device.
The device also has an Offset function and an internal digital filter for treatment of the measured signal. An offset value can be set, which will be described on the selected  pressure unit, to make small adjustments to the output value. The digital filter allows you to set a time interval, in seconds, to reduce the occurrence of noise effects and peaks  of pressure over a faster response.
It is also possible to configure the Modbus RTU communication parameters, such as Baud Rate, parity and slave address of the device.
For purposes of differentiation between units of the same model, an identifier can be configured in the device.
For testing purposes, the device supports forcing differential pressure measurement, analog output and alarm output. For each of these cases, you can configure a value to be forced and enable or disable the forcing.

5.2 ALARM CONFIGURATION
The NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter has a digital alarm output. The digital output will be activated whenever an alarm situation is satisfied, except in  particular cases defined by some of its settings.
You can configure the alarm operation mode, high and low set points, hysteresis value, state transition timers, error condition and initial blocking.
Alarm configuration can be performed using the NXperience software (see the Output Parameter section ), allowing different modes of operation:

  • Off: No alarm situation is active.
  • Sensor Error: While there is some error reading the sensor, the alarm output will remain on.
  • Below Lower Setpoint: The alarm output will be triggered when the current pressure is lower than the lower set point. To exit the alarm condition, the differential  pressure must be greater than the lower set point plus the hysteresis value.
  • Above Higher Setpoint: The alarm output will be triggered when the differential pressure is higher than the upper set point. To exit the alarm condition, the differential  pressure must be lower than the lower set point minus the hysteresis value.
  • Intra-range: The alarm output will be activated when the differential pressure is higher than the lower set point and lower than the upper set point. To exit the alarm  condition, the differential pressure must be greater than the upper set point plus the hysteresis value or lower than the lower set point minus the hysteresis value.
  • Extra-range: The alarm output will be activated when the differential pressure is higher than the set point higher or lower than the lower set point. To exit the alarm  condition, the differential pressure must be less than the upper set point minus the hysteresis value and higher than the lower set point plus the hysteresis value.

In addition to the alarm operation modes, other parameters, which do not apply to the Sensor Error mode, can be configured to refine the behavior of the alarm output:

  • Initial Blocking: This parameter determines the use of the alarm output lock soon after the device is started. After initialization, a non-alarm condition is required for the  alarm output to be enabled.
  • Error Condition: The status of this parameter determines whether the alarm output will remain on or off in case of sensor failure.
  • Hysteresis: This parameter stores the pressure value that, with the values of the set points, determines the limit value to leave the alarm situation. Fig. 07 shows the conditions for alarm activation and deactivation.

The alarm output can be timed by means of the Time On and Time Off parameters. For a given state transition to occur, the device must remain in the new state for a period  of time equal to the one configured in the respective transition parameter. These values are initialized to 0 by default.
Extra-range mode is the default mode of alarm output. The default values of the set points, in turn, are the operating limits of the device. Any changes in the pressure unit configuration readjust the values of the set points to the operating limits.

5.3 ANALOG OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The device has a configurable analog output. You can configure it using the NXperience software (check the Output Parameters section), and you can define: the electrical  pattern, the error mode and the excursion range of the pressure to be transmitted.
The electrical pattern can be selected between 0-10 V and 4-20 mA modes and the error mode determines the behavior of the analog output in case of sensor failure, as shown in Table 03:

Error Mode
Mode Low High Low/High*
0 – 10 V 0 V 10 V < Minimum Limit à 0 V
Sensor error à 10 V
> Maximum Limit à 10 V
4 – 20 mA 3.6 mA 21.0 mA < Minimum Limit à 3.6 mA
Sensor error à 21.0 mA
> Maximum Limit à 21.0 mA

Table 03 – Behavior of the analog output in case of sensor failure

* Available starting with firmware version 1.20 and software version 2.0.6.02.
The excursion of the electric signal respects the values set in the configuration of the lower and upper transmission limits, which allows customizing the differential pressure  range. The factory setting also defines the upper and lower limits of the sensor as the maximum operating limits of each respective model.
The device is factory set with the 4-20 mA electrical standard and the pressure unit in mbar. Any changes in the pressure unit configuration readjust the values of the transmission limits to the operating limits of the device.

USB INTERFACE

The USB interface is used for CONFIGURING or MONITORING the device.
For CONFIGURATION, you must use the NXperience software to create, view, save, and open configurations from the device or files on your computer. The feature to  save and open configurations in files makes it possible to transfer configurations between devices and make backup copies.

NXperience allows you to update the NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter firmware (internal software) via USB interface.
For MONITORING, any supervision (SCADA) or laboratory software that supports Modbus RTU communication over a serial communication port can be used. When  connected to a computer USB port, NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter is recognized as a conventional serial port (COM x). Use NXperience or refer to the  Device Manager on Windows Control Panel to identify the COM port assigned to the device.
Refer to the Modbus memory mapping in the device communication manual and its supervision software documentation to perform MONITORING.
Follow the procedure below to use the device USB communication:

  • Download NXperience from our website and install it on your computer (see chapter NXperience Software). The USB drivers required for communication will be  installed along with the software.
  • Connect the USB cable between the device and the computer. The device doesn’t need a power supply. The USB will provide enough power for the communication  operation (other device functions may not operate).
  • Launch NXperience, configure the communication and start the device recognition.

The USB interface IS NOT ISOLATED from the retransmission output and alarm output. Its purpose is temporary use during CONFIGURATION and MONITORING  periods. For the safety of people and device, it should only be used with the device fully disconnected from the external power supply input.
In any other situation, the USB interface use is possible, but requires a careful analysis by the person responsible for its installation.
For MONITORING for long periods and with inputs and outputs connected, it is recommended to use the RS485, available or optional in most of our device.

SERIAL COMMUNICATION

The NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter can be recognized on an RS485 network with Modbus RTU protocol as a slave device. All the configurable parameters of the device can be read and/or written via serial communication.
The device supports writing in Broadcast mode, using the slave address Modbus 0.
The available Modbus commands are as follows:
03 – Read Holding Register
05 – Write Single Coil
06 – Write Single Register
16 – Write Multiple Register

* Check the Table 10 for more information about the device configuration registers.
Table 05 – NP785-05 Model: Configuration Registers Table
The registers 103 to 106, 123 to 126, 157 and 158 must be used by the user to enter the values of their respective parameters. If they are within limits, the device will  automatically pass these values to registers 108 to 111, 132 to 135, 159 and 160, which show the values considered during the operation. In case of extrapolation of limits, this condition will be signaled in register 343 (HR_DIAGNOSE03).
For 32-bit data, the two registers that compose them must be read and/or written in order for the values to be updated.

8.3.1 GENERAL PARAMETERS
By clicking on the NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - iconicon, you can view information of the device being configured and the serial interface configuration parameters.NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 8

In the Device Tag parameter, you can name the device to be configured to make it easily identifiable within a multi-device network. Serial Number, Firmware Version, and  Model are non-editable parameters that are read by the software and directly from the device.
In order for the NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter to be recognized as a slave device in a Modbus network, you must assign a unique Modbus Address in the network and configure the Baud Rate and Parity.

8.3.2 INPUT PARAMETERS
By clicking on theNOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - icon 1 icon, you can configure the pressure sensor input.NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 9

In the Unit parameter, you can select the units mbar, Mpsi, in H2O, mm H2O or pascal. By default, the unit of device is set to mbar.
The Pressure parameter informs the differential pressure of the device when the window opens.
The device also provides Offset and Filter adjustments, allowing not only small corrections to the sensor readings, but also to reduce the speed of response of the sensor.
The Automatic Zero configuration allows automatic offset adjustments. Make sure the pressure points are depressurized and click NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - icon 6to make the adjustment.

8.3.3 OUTPUT PARAMETERS
By clicking on theNOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - icon 2  icon, you can configure the transmission analog output and the alarm output.

NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 10

8.3.3.1 TRANSMISSION OUTPUT CONFIGURATION

NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 11

The Measurement parameter allows the differential pressure quantity reading.
The analog output Mode allows you to select the electrical standard to be used for the transmission: 0-10 V or 4-20 mA. The electrical signal of the output will be  proportional to the selected magnitude, respecting the values configured in the Lower Limit and in the Upper Limit parameters.
In case of sensor failure, the quantity to be transmitted by the analog output will go into Error Mode. For the error condition, you must select the High, Low or Low-High state (check Table 03).

8.3.3.2 ALARM OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
To select the alarm output to be configured, you must click on the button NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - icon 7 and enable it by sliding the enable switch to the right.

NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 12

The alarm output may be timed by the Time On and Time Off parameters.
If the equipment is configured in the Value Lower than SPLo, Value Higher than SPHi, Inside the Range or Outside the Range modes, the Error Condition parameter allows  you to configure a safe state of the alarm output in case of sensor failure. Thus, the output will be on or off depending on the value set in this parameter.
Upper Limit and Lower Limit are the differential pressure values that act as alarm activation conditions that, together with the Hysteresis, define the barrier to be exceeded so  that the channel exits the alarm situation. For more information about the alarm configuration, check the Alarm Configuration section.

8.3.4 DIAGNOSTICS
To access this section, the device must be connected to the USB port and the Read Configuration option must be selected.
By clicking on the icon, you can check if the device is functioning properly by forcing the pressure readings. You can force a value either on the sensor reading or directly on the output.

NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 13

In the input diagnostics, you can view the differential pressure instantaneous value and force a value to it. To force a value, you must type the desired value in the field or run  the slider to the desired value within the model pressure range and press the button.
In the output diagnostics, you can force the output in order to verify the correct operation of the device and test the settings applied to the NP785 Differential Pressure Transmitter.NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 14

To force a value at a transmission analog output, use the slider or type de desired value directly into the edit field and then press the buttonNOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - icon 8.
From this moment, the NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter will force the adjusted value into the transmission output and the button used to perform the  forcing will change toNOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - icon 9. If pressed again, the forced value will no longer be applied to the output.

NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 15For each analogue output, it is also possible to force the transmission of an error value by clicking theNOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - icon 11 andNOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - icon 10 buttons. These values depend on the mode (0-10 V or 4-20 mA) configured for each output.
The alarm output allows forcing the condition on and off. In some cases, it is possible that an alarm output is activated due to an alarm condition.
Thus, it may be desirable to force the off state so that it is possible to identify any faults in the electrical installation or in the device configuration.
The images below shows the forcing interface of the alarm output in the three possible conditions: No forcing, forcing on ON and forcing in OFF state.

NOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - fig 16

8.3.5 FINALIZATION
By clicking on theNOVUS NP785 Ultra Low Differential Pressure Transmitter - icon 4 icon, you can send the configuration to the device, save the configurations in a file, update the device firmware and configure a password to protect it.
