7. Operation[Before running]
Before running the instrument, check the mounting and wiring carefully, referring to“4. Mounting to the control panel” (p.12) and “5. Wiring” (p.14).
Check whether settings are applicable for the users’ conditions, referring to “6 Settings” (p.19).
7.1 Running the LMD-100(1) Turn the power supply to the LMD-100 and connected controllers ON.
Turn the power supply to the LMD-100 and connected controllers ON.
For 5 seconds after the power is turned on, the PV display indicates [].
After that, the LMD-100 reads PV, SV and alarm status of the connected controllers.
If automatic switching is selected, the channel number is automatically switchedevery 2 seconds, indicating PV, SV and alarm status.
(2) Input set values of the LMD-100.
Input each set value of the LMD-100, referring to “6. Settings” (p.19).
(3) Turn the load circuit power of the connected controllers ON.
Turn the load circuit power of the connected controllers ON.
Control action starts so as to keep the control target at the SV.
7.2 Preparation for data logging
7.2.1 CF cards

NoticeFor data logging, please use the recommended CF card.
When any other CF cards (commercially available) are used, turn the power off
after data logging has stopped. If power is turned off without data logging being
stopped, the data might be lost or the CF card may not be able to be used.
Recommended CF cards: CF card included and also sold separately by Shinko TechnosCo., Ltd.
Type I (Thickness 3.3mm), Maximum capacity 2GB
Format: FAT16
Writing method: Writing in a new file (Opens a new file every time logging
starts, and saves data in it.)
CF card memory usage: In the case of 2 controller units being connected, and whenlogging all items with a logging cycle of 5 seconds, 1.7 to 2.0MBof the CF card can be used every 24 hours.
7.2.2 Data reliability when power failure occurs during data logging
The set data of the LMD-100 is backed up in the non-volatile IC memory.
The time it takes between detecting power failure and turning the power to the
LMD-100 OFF is approx. 260ms for 85V AC and 4 seconds for 264V AC.
For the recommended CF card, writing time is 200ms and closing process time is 40ms.
Thus total time is 240ms. Writing and closing of the CF card can be finished within
Shinko instruments’ power failure process time. Therefore data reliability can be
maintained.
If any other CF cards (commercially available) are used, the data reliability is notguaranteed.
32

7.3 CF card insertion(1) Insert the CF card with the rim toward you. See (Fig. 7.3-1).
The groove width of the top and bottom of the card differ so that the CF card will beinserted correctly. However, do not insert the card forcibly in the wrong direction.
After insertion, the card should protrude approx. 5mm from the front of the instrumentwith the CF card ejection button also protruding. See (Fig. 7.3-2).
(2) Shift the LOCK switch to LOCK position. See (Fig. 7.3-2).
Approx. 5mm

7.5.1 Data logging start
There are 2 ways to start data logging. One is with theusing the external operation input.

key, and the other is

Data logging start with the
key
Press thekey.
Data logging starts under conditions which have been set during Data logging
condition setting mode.
The LOG indicator is lit during data logging, and flashes while writing to the CF card.
Data logging start using the external operation input
Connect External operation input LOG terminals 19 and 20 (Contact from Open to Closed).
Data logging starts under conditions which have been set during Data logging condition
setting mode.
The LOG indicator is lit during data logging, and flashes while writing to the CF card.
7.5.2 Logging auto-start function
If “Effective” is selected during “Logging auto-start selection” in Data logging condition
setting mode (p.23), Logging auto-start function will initiate after power-on.
Logging automatically starts between Auto-start start and end time.
If Logging auto-start start and end time are the same, logging continues until power-off oruntil CF card capacity is exceeded.
After power is restored, Auto-start function is enabled if logging is within the selected time
between Auto-start start and end time, and logging is performed.
During logging, usual Logging start/stop can be performed.
During logging, if external operation input LOG terminals 19 and 20 are connected(Contact from Open to Closed), logging will continue even if the logging end time has
expired.
Even within the data logging time, logging stops by disconnecting LOG terminals 19 and
20 (Contact from Closed to Open).
7.5.3 CF card file
Every time the LMD-100 starts data logging, LMD-100 writes the data in a new file.
When logging data reaches 65,000 lines, the file is closed and a new file is opened fordata writing, considering editing on spreadsheet applications.
The file is named as shown below.
yymmdd_hhmmss.CSV
yy : Lower 2 digits of the year (2006: 06)
mm : Month (January: 01)
dd : Day (the 1st : 01)
hh : Hour (8 a.m.: 08, 8 p.m.: 20)
mm : Minutess : Second
For example, if data logging is started at 8:30 a.m. on January 1st, 2006,
the file will be named as “060101_083000.CSV”.
34

7.5.4 File limits
A maximum of 170 files can be saved in the CF card.
If the number of files exceeds 170, an error message(Excess CF card memory
capacity) appears on the PV display regardless of the remaining memory capacity in the
CF card.
7.5.5 Data logging cycle
If logging time of data (depending on number of connected units, and Data logging items)
exceeds the logging cycle, previous data will be saved.
(e.g.) If the following are selected:
Number of connected units: 8
Data logging items: 5 (PV, SV, OUT1 MV, OUT2 MV, controller status)
Data logging cycle: 1sec
Controller response time: Approx. 50ms per item
50ms x 5 (items)=250ms
250ms x 8 (units)= Approx. 2000ms
If writing time to CF card is 500ms:
Thus total response time: 2000ms+500ms=2500ms (2.5sec)
As Data logging cycle is 1sec, the previous data will be saved 2 or 3 times.
7.5.6 Power failure during data logging
If power failure occurs during data logging, data is automatically saved in the file.
After the power is restored, data logging is stopped.
However, if external operation input LOG terminals 19 and 20 are connected (Contact
Closed), data logging automatically resumes, and writes the data in a new file.
If momentary power failure occurs while writing to the CF card, one batch of logging
data might be lost.
7.6 How to stop data logging
7.6.1 Data logging stop
There are 2 ways to stop data logging. One is with thethe external operation input.

key, and the other is using

To stop logging with the
key
Press thekey for approx. 1 second.
The LOG indicator goes off, and logging stops.
To stop logging using the external operation input

7.6.2 External operation priority
If “External operation input (LOG) has priority” is selected from “External operation
priority selection” in the Data logging condition setting mode, and when LOG terminals
19 and 20 are connected (Contact Closed), data logging cannot be stopped by the
key.
However, if LOG terminals 19 and 20 are disconnected (Contact Open), logging by the
key can be started or stopped.

Console: Set values can be read and set to the controllers by connecting amaximum of 16 units of controllers in Serial communication (RS-485).
The number indicated on the CH display is an instrument number set
to the controllers connected. The instrument number is set from1 (one) in numerical order.
If an error occurs during communication with the controller, the PV
display indicates the error message () and the “CNTL COM
ERR” (Controller communication error) indicator lights if the error
occurred channel is indicated.
The error message () is maintained even if communication isrecovered until it is released by pressing the(Mode) key.
If the error message is released, all set values are read.
Logging: The LMD-100 constantly reads data from the connected controller,
and writes it on the CF card every logging cycle.
If the LMD-100 cannot save data due to communication failure,
there will be no data on the CF card.
If logging time of data (depending on number of connected units, anddata logging items) exceeds the logging cycle, the previous data
will be saved.

If Logging auto-start “Effective” is selected during Logging auto-start selection (p.23),
auto-start start and end time can be set, and logging automatically performs within theselected time after power-on.
If logging auto-start start and end time are the same, logging continues until power-off oruntil CF card capacity is exceeded.
After power is restored, Auto-start function is enabled if logging is within the selected time
between Auto-start start and end time, and logging is performed.
During logging, usual Logging start/stop can be performed.
During logging, if external operation input LOG terminals 19 and 20 are connected(Contact from Open to Closed), logging will continue even if the logging end time has
expired.
Even within the data logging time, logging stops by disconnecting LOG terminals 19 and
20 (Contact from Closed to Open).
Set value memory function
Up to 6 groups of SV for the connected controllers can be saved.
If thekey is pressed after selecting Set value memory number in Main setting mode,
SVs in the selected memory number are sent to the connected controllers.
[When a lot of controllers are connected, operations at the next setting mode (SV setting)cannot be performed until all connected controllers SV changes are completed.]
If set values are changed from the controller side, the LMD-100 reads and saves thesending items the LMD-100 already has:Sending items of the LMD-100: SV, Alarm 1 value, OUT1 proportional band, OUT2
proportional band, Integral time, Derivative time, ARW,
OUT1 proportional cycle, OUT2 proportional cycle,
Manual reset, Set value lock, AT/Auto-reset
However, even if SV is changed from the controller side, the SV of the Set value memory
number cannot be changed.
To change SV of the Set value memory number, set it in the “SV setting” mode.
